Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

Even though Song Lan, who usually has a good temper, heard the shopkeeper's words, his face turned even colder. He sneered at the shopkeeper and said, "Let him come up. I'll let him eat my fist."

The shopkeeper was in a dilemma and looked at Song Wanning, "This..."

Song Jing has always been an experienced person. He looked up and advised, "Don't be impulsive, Lan'er. My family is in the right now. If we beat him, it will become our family that suffers. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with the Zhongping Marquis Mansion in the future."

Song Wanning was also unhappy in her heart, and said calmly, "I didn't expect the news from the Marquis' Mansion to spread so quickly. Dad and Big Brother were discovered even when they came back in disguise. They will meet anyway, it's just a matter of time, so just ask him to come up. If I wait down there for too long, I'm afraid outsiders will say that Dad is arrogant because of his military achievements."

"How can my father and I take him seriously?" Song Lan resisted the urge to roll his eyes and sat aside without saying anything.

Song Jing's expression was not good either. He just said coldly, "Tell him to come up. Dad will meet this good son-in-law for a while."

The shopkeeper only dared to turn around and go downstairs to call for help after seeing Song Wanning nodded.

Not long after, Wen Tingbo, dressed in a proper manner, came to the box from the first floor. He was wearing a blue robe embroidered with golden cranes of different shades, and a belt of the same color with red gems on it.

Wen Tingbai's appearance was indeed impeccable, and he had been fighting in the battlefields for several years, so he pretended to be a gentleman.

When Wen Tingbai saw Song Jing and Song Lan, he immediately smiled and saluted them, "My son-in-law greets my father-in-law and my elder brother."

After Wen Tingbai finished speaking, he stood behind Song Wanning very naturally, with an intimate posture, as if the two of them were very close to each other on weekdays, "Wanning, your father-in-law and elder brother have returned early, and you didn't even tell me. As your husband, I should go with you to welcome your father-in-law and elder brother."

After hearing this, Song Wanning sneered twice and looked at Wen Tingbai and said, "Now that Daddy and Big Brother are in a hurry to come back, and I didn't let everyone know, I brought Daddy and Big Brother to Tianxiang Tower first. But I didn't expect that the news about the Second Master was so great that he would follow so quickly."

After hearing what Song Wanning said, Wen Tingbai's face showed a bit of embarrassment, but he quickly found a way out and said with a smile, "I know you are eager to go out to see your father-in-law and elder brother, but you can't forget this etiquette. Your husband sees that you have forgotten and should always make up for it for you."

After Wen Tingbo finished speaking, he pretended to be the host and sat on the chair.

Song Jing and Song Lan both looked unhappy. Song Jing, on the other hand, barely raised his head and glanced at Wen Tingbo, saying calmly, "I heard that Tingbo is now an official in the court? I wonder what rank he holds?"

After hearing this, Wen Tingbai's face flashed with embarrassment, but he still replied in a low voice, "To be honest with you, father-in-law, I am only a seventh-rank official in the court, Zuo Sijian."

"Seventh grade?" Song Jing's face was slightly cold.

Song Lan, who was beside Song Jing, looked at Wen Tingbai without any good intentions and just sneered, "As far as I know, the official positions conferred by the marquisates in the court are all higher than the seventh rank. You have been fighting outside for three years, why did you only get a seventh rank official position when you returned to the capital?"

Wen Tingbai sighed at this point, with an expression of deep affection that he could not restrain. "It was because my son-in-law was incompetent. He fought outside for three years without any achievements. He missed his wife and mother at home, so he turned back to the court and became a civil servant. When the emperor knew about it, he was unhappy, so he was given a seventh-rank official position."

Song Wanning almost laughed out loud when she heard what Wen Tingbai said. She really didn't expect that the legitimate son of a marquis could be so shameless. Wen Tingbai was betting that Song Wanning would not expose him in front of Song Jing and Song Lan.

But Wen Tingbo was wrong.

Wen Tingbai seemed to be afraid of Song Wanning's words, and hurriedly continued, "I know that I was young and frivolous a few years ago, and I let Wanning down. Now that I am older, I know that I should treat Wanning well and make up for the mistakes I made."

"Didn't the Second Master return to the capital to be an official because of Aunt Cui? Now we are all family, I'm afraid there is nothing wrong to say." Song Wanning's eyes fell on Wen Tingbai's face, smiling, "I still remember that on the day the Second Master returned home, he only said that Aunt Cui saved his life, and the Second Master was truly in love with her. If he could let Aunt Cui enter the mansion, he would be willing to return to the court to be an official. Did I remember it wrongly?"

Wen Tingbai didn't expect that his lies would be exposed by Song Wanning on the spot. He felt a little embarrassed and looked at Song Wanning and said, "Wanning, those words were just expedient measures. How come you still remember them? Besides, don't you know how I feel about you?"

Song Wanning lowered her head and continued to eat, smiling, "Second Master, Wanning doesn't understand what you are saying."

"Humph." Song Jing snorted coldly at this time, put down his chopsticks and sat upright on the stool, "I really didn't expect that the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion would marry my precious daughter and treat her like this."

"Father-in-law, this is all a misunderstanding." Wen Tingbai was sweating profusely. Looking at the two generals who had been on the battlefield for many years, the pressure was naturally overwhelming. He explained repeatedly, "I was just confused for a moment. Please give me a chance to correct my mistakes. I will definitely treat Wan Ning twice as well in the future."

Wen Tingbai stood up, knowing that he could no longer keep Aunt Cui, as Aunt Cui would be the biggest obstacle to repairing the relationship between him and Song Wanning. Wen Tingbai stood at the table and swore, "I will go back and take care of the family affairs, give an explanation to my father-in-law and Wanning, and show my sincerity."

After Wen Tingbai finished speaking, he turned around and hurried downstairs, leaving Song Wanning and the other two behind.

Song Wanning didn't take Wen Tingbai's words seriously at all. She looked at Song Jing and Song Lan and said, "Dad and big brother, eat quickly. Don't let that villain affect your mood for eating."

Song Jing couldn't eat anymore, so he said coldly, "I'm going to go back to the Song Mansion and ask the second son what kind of husband he and his wife found for you? What kind of rubbish do you dare to marry my daughter to?"

Song Lan was calmer now, and looked at Song Wanning with a complicated expression, "Sister, do you still want to live with that man, or do you want to divorce him?"

Song Wanning knew what Song Lan meant by asking this question. If she still wanted to continue living together, she could only teach Wen Tingbo a lesson and stop while she was ahead so that they could meet again in the future. If she wanted to divorce, she didn't need to show any mercy. She should make him pay for what he had done over the years.

Song Wanning placed the chopsticks in her hand on the bowl, and the two chopsticks were neatly put together. Her voice was cold and resolute, "I won't hide it from my eldest brother. I want a divorce."
