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

When Song Wanning heard Fei Biyun say this, she explained directly, "I do need your help with something."

Before Fei Biyun could speak, Song Wanning continued, "It's not difficult. All you need to do is go to Lan Courtyard to watch a good show and be a witness."

"Watching a show?" Fei Biyun frowned slightly, and did not agree immediately. She just looked at Song Wanning and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, but look at me, sister-in-law. I'm pregnant now, and it's getting late outside. If I go out now and get bumped, it will be bad for the baby."

Song Wanning knew that she couldn't ask Fei Biyun to help her with the Su embroidery fabric, so she said directly, "I won't hide it from my sister-in-law. Tingbai and I will divorce no matter what. This matter is just a small matter. If my sister-in-law doesn't help, I can do it myself, it just takes some effort."

Fei Biyun probably didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the second house, fearing that she would be criticized. "If that's the case, why did my sister-in-law come to see me again?"

"Of course I want to save some effort." Song Wanning smiled faintly and praised Fei Biyun, "Sister-in-law has always been good at planning and has also helped my brother's career. Now the power of the first house is weak, and it all depends on my brother to support the outside world, and my sister-in-law takes care of the household affairs for my brother at home. If my sister-in-law helps me this time, the mighty general's mansion will naturally owe my brother a favor. If there is anything I need help with in the future, the general's mansion will naturally do its best to help my brother and sister-in-law."

After hearing this, Fei Biyun's eyes were a little shaken.

"Besides, it is inevitable that the General's Mansion and the Marquis Zhongping's Mansion will be enemies." Song Wanning looked at Fei Biyun and continued, "But if the eldest sister-in-law helps me, then the mighty General's Mansion will only be enemies with the second house, but will be close to the first house."

When Fei Biyun heard this, she was already moved. Just like what Song Wanning said, all she had to do was to watch a good show. What she could get was something that a good show could not exchange for. "In that case, I will go with my sister-in-law. I hope my sister-in-law will not forget the promise she made today."

"Of course." Song Wanning said, making a gesture of invitation and smiling, "Sister-in-law is now the housekeeper. I remembered that I still have some basic account books that have not been delivered. Please come and take a look."

Fei Biyun stood up with the help of several maids, slowly walked out of the yard, followed Song Wanning across the stone bridge, and went straight towards the Lan courtyard.

The Lan Courtyard is still quiet now. When Song Wanning and Fei Biyun arrived, it was still dark inside.

When they entered the South Courtyard, the voice coming from the room made the maids blush. Song Wanning glanced at Cai Que beside her and said, "I asked my sister-in-law to come to the yard to get the account book today, but I didn't expect to hear such a voice. Let the experienced maid go in and see who is doing these dirty things in my room."

Caique responded, holding a lantern and leading the nanny into the house.

The lights in the yard were soon lit, and the nanny strode into Song Wanning's bedroom with a lantern in her hand. Just as she was about to light the light, she heard the person on the bed curse, "How dare you, a daring servant, break into your master's bedroom without permission."

When Wen Tingbai saw someone coming, he quickly lifted the quilt and covered himself.

The nanny's hands were shaking with fear, but the light was turned on. She didn't dare to look back when she heard Wen Tingbai's voice, and hurriedly said, "Second Master, calm down, Second Master, calm down. It was Second Madam who sent this old servant to light the light specially because she didn't know who was in the bedroom."

Wen Tingbai frowned after hearing what the nanny said, and said unhappily, "Isn't the Second Madam by my side? How can I let you light the lamp? If you keep talking nonsense, I will take you away and sell you off."

After hearing this, the maid was even more frightened and quickly explained, "I dare not lie. The Second Madam and Madam Cheng are standing outside the yard right now."

"What?" Wen Tingbai realized something was wrong at this moment. He turned his head to look at the person beside him in the light, but saw Qiao Lian's face. "Why is it you?"

Wen Tingbai was furious and hurriedly got up to get dressed. When he was halfway through, he saw someone coming in from outside.

Song Wanning looked at Wen Tingbai in the bedroom, tears streaming down her cheeks like pearls falling from a string. She said in a daze, "I knew that the Second Master didn't like me and didn't want to sleep in my room, so I never bothered him. Who knew that the Second Master would do something like this to humiliate me?"

"Listen to my explanation." Wen Tingbai put on his coat, choking with fear, "I..."

Before Wen Tingbai could explain, Fei Biyun, who was beside Song Wanning, said, "Second brother, what you did was really disgraceful. Aunt Cui is pregnant and it is inconvenient for you, but if you want to do this, you should do it in your own courtyard. How can your sister-in-law gain a foothold in the mansion in the future if you behave like this?"

"I... I'm not..." Wen Tingbai's mind was in a mess. He slapped Qiao Lian who was still lying on the bed and said, "Tell me, why did you come to the second grandmother's bedroom?"

Qiao Lian was slapped and immediately felt wronged. She said timidly, "Second Master has ignored Qiao Lian for many years. Second Mistress felt sorry for Qiao Lian and asked me to serve her in her yard. She also gave Qiao Lian some cakes as a reward. Who would have thought that Qiao Lian would feel unwell after eating the chestnut cakes. Second Mistress saw this and asked Qiao Lian to rest in the house for a while. Second Master came here on his own. It's really not Qiao Lian's fault..."

Wen Tingbai's eyes were filled with disbelief. He turned to look at Song Wanning, "How could it be such a coincidence?"

"Second Master, now that you have done such a thing, it really chills my heart." Song Wanning looked disheartened and took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

"Second brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Qiaolian was originally your maid who had been with you for several years. You were originally going to take her as your concubine." Fei Biyun stood in the room and said in a serious tone, "You later said you didn't want her anymore, which made it difficult for Qiaolian to move around in the mansion. Now this kind of thing has happened. Qiaolian is a good girl, you should just take her as your concubine."

"I... this matter is just a misunderstanding!" Wen Tingbai was now speechless, but he still insisted on not acknowledging Qiao Lian, trying to coax Song Wanning back, "Wanning, listen to my explanation..."

"If the Second Master still doesn't want me, how can I live with dignity in this world? I might as well die." Qiao Lian turned over and got out of bed, crying and about to bang her head against the wall.

"Stop her quickly."

The maids and servants rushed over to hold Qiao Lian down, but they could still hear Qiao Lian crying and struggling, trying to hit her head against the wall. "I don't want to live anymore. How can I have the dignity to live on? Just let me die."

Fei Biyun glanced at Wen Tingbo and sighed, "This is a life. How can we just watch her die like this?"

Wen Tingbai was really unable to cope with it, and finally the matter was brought to Rongfu Hall, where the old lady made the decision.
