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

Wen Tingbai stood in the yard, staring at the chestnut cake in Song Wanning's hand. He would not feel at ease until he saw Song Wanning eat the cake.

Seeing that Song Wanning was about to eat it, Cai Que hurriedly reminded Song Wanning, "Grandma, someone from the Song Mansion sent a note, saying that they want you to go back tomorrow for a reunion dinner."

"Bring the post here for me to see." Song Wanning said and put the chestnut cake back into the plate.

Seeing Song Wanning's behavior, Wen Tingbai became more and more anxious, but he couldn't say anything. He could only stand there without saying a word.

Seeing Cai Que handing the note to Song Wan Ning, she reminded him, "Now that Master Lan and Second Master are back, Grandma will leave early tomorrow morning. You'd better pack your things early to avoid forgetting anything tomorrow."

Song Wanning nodded slightly and said, "I'll go in first and take out the account book and take another look at it."

Song Wanning was about to walk in when she was interrupted by Wen Tingbo, who smiled and said, "Wanning works hard every day, you should eat your cakes quickly. I'll go in and get the account book for Wanning."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Second Master." Song Wanning smiled and picked up the chestnut cake from the food box again.

Wen Tingbai followed the maid into the house, picked up the account book on the table and went out. Seeing that Song Wanning seemed to have just finished a cake, he was delighted and put the account book on the stone table. "Wanning, don't work too hard. I have some official business in the study, so I'll come to see you later."

Wen Tingbo was secretly delighted and even walked more briskly.

Cai Que stood beside Song Wanning, watching Wen Tingbai walk away, and slowly said, "Grandma, why has the Second Master been acting so strange these days?"

Song Wanning snorted coldly, "If someone is being nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."

Song Wanning opened her palm, and in her hand was still a whole chestnut cake. She put the chestnut cake back into the bowl and looked at Cai Que and said, "Throw it away. If I'm not mistaken, this cake might have been drugged."

"Yes." Caique took the pastries off the stone table.

Song Wanning smiled faintly, with other plans in mind. She whispered something else in Zhuque's ear, "I remember that the Second Master had a maidservant named Qiao Lian?"

Song Wanning thought it was ridiculous to think of this concubine. Wen Tingbai had a concubine when he was thirteen, and it was reasonable to say that she would be promoted to a concubine in the future. Who would have thought that Wen Tingbai would turn his face against her when he grew up, and later promised Cui Xiaoxiao that they would be together for the rest of their lives. Now it seems that he is really a hypocrite.

"Yes, grandma, that maid has served the Second Master for several years." Zhuque was also furious when talking about Qiao Lian, "I heard that a few years ago, Madam said that she wanted Qiao Lian to be the Second Master's concubine. Who knew that the Second Master would turn his back on her when he got older, and even said that he only wanted the girl he liked the most. Even when grandma got married, the Second Master..."

Song Wanning remembered that the girl in her previous life was also a man of means. Even if she was not made a concubine, she still caused Cui Xiaoxiao a lot of trouble. Song Wanning said calmly, "Where is Qiao Lian now?"

"Because Mr. Bai doesn't like her, she is now just a maid in the kitchen."

"Call her over here. I have something to say to her."

-

Seeing that it was getting completely dark, Wen Tingbai calculated the time and came to the South Courtyard where Song Wanning was.

At this time, all the maids outside had gone to rest, and usually only two personal maids were left. When Wen Tingbai entered Song Wanning's yard, he saw Zhuque coming out of the outer room, and seemed to be about to go out.

Wen Tingbai quickly called Zhuque and asked, "Where is your grandma? Why is she gone?"

When Zhuque saw Wen Tingbai, he sighed and said, "Reporting to the Second Master, I don't know if she ate something wrong today. Grandma is not feeling well and has fallen asleep now."

"Really?" Wen Tingbai was secretly delighted, but his face was worried. He looked at Zhuque and said, "I'll go in and see your grandmother."

Zhuque looked inside hesitantly, "Second Master, grandma has gone to bed."

When facing his servants, Wen Tingbai acted like a master. "What? Can't I see my wife? She's sick, can't I go and see her?"

Seeing that Wen Tingbai insisted, Zhuque had no choice but to remind him, "Grandma is sleeping now. Second Master, don't light the lights again when you go in to wake her up."

Wen Tingbai waved his sleeves, gently pushed open the door, and said, "I see, Wan Ning, I'm here, you just go and rest."

Zhuque said yes and left the yard.

Wen Tingbai walked into the room in the moonlight. Fortunately, it was not too dark and he could still see the furnishings in the room. Wen Tingbai walked to the bedside in small steps and lifted the gauze curtain.

The person on the bed seemed to be feeling unwell and was humming softly.

Wen Tingbai sat by the bed, patted the person on the bed in a soothing manner, and said gently, "Wan Ning, I just heard that you were not feeling well, so I took the initiative to come and see you. I hope Wan Ning will not be angry."

The person on the bed didn't say anything, but quickly grabbed Wen Tingbo's hand, then half sat up and hugged Wen Tingbo.

Wen Tingbai had already been intoxicated by the soft murmurs, and had no time to think about what was wrong. He was just excited, secretly thinking that his plan had succeeded.

Wen Tingbai thought the person on the bed was Song Wanning, and soon they became entangled with each other.

What Wen Tingbo didn't know was that the real Song Wanning was now in Fei Biyun's yard.

Fei Biyun is now the housekeeper of the entire mansion, but her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is a little overwhelmed by the housekeeping. In the previous life, Song Wanning and Fei Biyun did not have much interaction. The first and second houses were not on good terms, and Song Wanning was afraid of offending Wen Tingbai, so she rarely interacted with Fei Biyun.

But now Song Wanning is here. Fei Biyun is a capable mistress. She is pregnant but can still manage the mansion in an orderly manner. What Song Wanning wants to do is to let Fei Biyun help her witness something.

The maid in Fei Biyun's yard lifted the curtain and let Song Wanning in. Fei Biyun was still looking at the account book. When she saw Song Wanning coming, she put down the book and said calmly, "What brings my sister-in-law here?"

"Sister-in-law is really busy nowadays. She is still checking the accounts at this hour." Song Wanning waved to the maid behind her and asked Caique to bring the box up.

Song Wanning looked at Fei Biyun and said calmly, "My sister-in-law got a few rolls of new satin a few days ago. It's the best Suzhou embroidery, but there's not much fabric, so I thought of giving it to my sister-in-law to make some clothes for the children."

"It's amazing that you actually thought of me." Fei Biyun's smile faded a bit, and she said, "No merit, no reward. I'm afraid my sister-in-law wants me to help her with something?"
