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

After listening to what Song Wanning said, Song Lan immediately understood what Song Wanning meant. He frowned and said, "If Wen Tingbai really goes back and drives the concubine away, I'm afraid we won't be able to take any action."

"What's wrong with getting a divorce?" Song Jing said in a dark voice, "Just because Wen Tingbai made a mistake and my daughter suffered a little injustice, I can ask him to get out immediately."

Song Wanning was touched when she heard Song Jing and Song Lan's plan for her, but she still smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, big brother. The concubines in his mansion are not so easy to deal with."

Song Wanning already knew that Cui Xiaoxiao was pregnant, and the men in the Marquis' Mansion had not yet had children. Although it was unknown whether the fetus in Cui Xiaoxiao's belly was a boy or a girl, it was enough for the Marquis' Mansion to treat it as a treasure.

Wen Tingbai went straight back to the Lan Courtyard after returning to the Marquis' Mansion. Cui Xiaoxiao from the West Courtyard was smiling when she saw Wen Tingbai, but she saw his cold expression. "Tingbai, what's wrong? Why are you so unhappy?"

"Xiao Xiao." Wen Tingbai sat dejectedly beside the stone table, holding Cui Xiaoxiao's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Today Wan Ning's father and brother both came back with military merits. They knew that I married you as a concubine and treated Wan Ning harshly because of you, and they were very angry."

Wen Tingbai said, turning his face away, looking very embarrassed, "My father-in-law also said that if I can't give him an explanation, he will become the enemy of our entire mansion."

"What?" Cui Xiaoxiao was stunned. She naturally didn't believe what Wen Tingbai said, but she had to pretend, "Even if the general brought back military merits, how could he be so unreasonable?"

"Xiao Xiao." Wen Tingbai sighed and looked at Cui Xiaoxiao and said, "Now there is the pressure from the general on one side and you on the other. I am really in a dilemma. I wanted to talk to the general. Which family in the marquisate of the capital doesn't have several concubines? Who knew that the general would not listen at all."

"What should we do?" Cui Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, but she still suggested, "How about Tingbai write a memorial to the emperor and let him know that the general is bullying others by taking advantage of his power?"

"It's useless, Xiao Xiao." Wen Tingbai shook his head. "The only way now is to let you down, Xiao Xiao. I will definitely put a lot of personal belongings in the bag for you, so that you can live well outside."

"Tingbo, what you mean is..." After hearing this, Cui Xiaoxiao's tears instantly flowed from her eyes. She looked at Wen Tingbo and said, "Tingbo, you said you would treat me well for the rest of your life, but now you want to kick me out for her?"

"Don't blame me, Xiao Xiao. I have no choice." Wen Tingbai lowered his head, looking helpless. "You grew up in a farm in the countryside, and now you follow me to the Marquis' Mansion, living a life of luxury. Now that you've gone back, you've returned to your original position."

"Tingbai, I don't want to. I don't want to leave you." Cui Xiaoxiao said, and finally put her hand on her belly, murmuring, "Tingbai, I am pregnant with your child. Can you bear to let your flesh and blood flow out there?"

"What? You're pregnant with my child?" Wen Tingbai was shocked. He didn't expect Cui Xiaoxiao to be pregnant at this time. He didn't have the slightest joy of becoming a father. Instead, he said with a pale face, "Even if you're pregnant, go away. Send her away."

"You..." Cui Xiaoxiao looked at Wen Tingbai with a pale face, standing in the yard and said, "You, you don't even want the child?"

Cui Xiaoxiao really didn't expect Wen Tingbo to be so heartless, and it was at this time that she truly saw the true face of this hypocrite.

Just as the two were confronting each other, Haitang, who always followed the old lady, appeared in the Lan courtyard and stood outside and said, "Second Master, the old ancestor heard that Aunt Cui was pregnant, so he specially invited a doctor to help Aunt Cui feel her pulse. Aunt Cui, please follow me to Rongfu Hall."

A hint of surprise flashed across Wen Tingbai's eyes, but when he turned around, he saw a faint smile on Cui Xiaoxiao's face. "Tingbai, since I knew that you were pregnant with our child, I was very happy and sent someone to tell the ancestor. Now I'm going to talk to the ancestor."

Even Wen Tingbai knew that in the entire Zhongping Marquis's mansion, the one who valued offspring the most was the old lady. Moreover, the old lady did not understand the turmoil in the court. Continuing the family line was a matter of great importance, so how could she let him divorce a pregnant concubine for the sake of power?

Wen Tingbai gnashed his teeth in hatred, hating himself for bringing Cui Xiaoxiao back to the capital and being so obedient to her, which led to him being in this situation now.

Cui Xiaoxiao followed Haitang all the way to Rongfu Hall and met the old lady sitting there.

When Cui Xiaoxiao saw the old lady, she immediately knelt down and greeted her. "Xiaoxiao greets the old ancestor. I pay my respects to the old ancestor."

The old lady didn't like Cui Xiaoxiao at first, but now that she saw that Cui Xiaoxiao was pregnant, she couldn't hide her joy, "Don't kneel, and be careful when you walk, don't hurt my precious great-grandson."

"Thank you, old ancestor." Cui Xiaoxiao said, holding her belly and standing up, and then stood with Wen Tingbo next to her, with a very intimate posture, "Old ancestor, I can be pregnant now, thanks to Tingbo's kindness to me, and spoiling me in everything, so that I can now have the blessing of adding a child to the Marquis's mansion."

"Okay, okay." The old man couldn't stop laughing after hearing this. He looked at the doctor beside him and said slowly, "Doctor, please help me check whether the fetus is stable."

The doctor standing nearby listened to the old lady's words, sat on a chair nearby and checked Cui Xiaoxiao's pulse. After a while, he gave the result, "This child is still young, but his pulse is very healthy. As long as he is well taken care of in the future, he will definitely give birth to a great-grandson for the ancestor."

"Reward, give the doctor a reward." The old lady said with a smile, "Now there will be a happy event in our family."

The old lady said, her eyes slowly moving to Wen Tingbo, "Tingbo, you are going to be a father now, you have to be nicer to Xiao Xiao, don't stay in the study or run out all day."

Wen Tingbai still had a cold face, but Cui Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to Wen Tingbai, responded with a smile, "Don't worry, ancestor, Tingbai has always been the best to me."

"I was not happy when Tingbai wanted to take you in. Now I can finally hold my great-grandson. It's my credit for not kicking you out of the mansion." The old lady smiled and said, "You are much better than Song Wanning who couldn't lay an egg for more than three years."

When Wen Tingbai heard Song Wanning's name, he finally remembered the purpose of his trip. He looked at the maid beside him and said, "Help my aunt go back to the yard to rest. I still have a few words to say to the old ancestor."
