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

"Second Master..." Qiao Lian looked at the hurried Wen Tingbai and became more and more frightened. She was worried and watched Wen Tingbai leave his yard.

There were always people guarding the courtyards of wealthy families at night, and it was no exception in the concubine's room. Moreover, it was not late that day, and the maids and servants who were usually busy had not rested yet, and just watched Wen Tingbai go out.

Cui Xiaoxiao, who was in the west courtyard of Lan Courtyard, was the first to hear Tianxiang's message, "Aunt, I just passed by Aunt Qiaolian's courtyard and heard that Mr. Bai went to the courtyard to eat today and was going to stay overnight."

Tianxiang looked around and saw that there was no one around before she leaned over and whispered, "But Mr. Bai came out not long after he entered the room, saying that he had some official business in the study. When he came out, Mr. Bai's face was so dark that it was scary."

"Wen Tingbai, you have come to this day." After hearing this, Cui Xiaoxiao showed a happy smile on her face, "From now on, my child will be his only child, and he will always have a share of the glory and wealth of this mansion."

"Aunt, Master Bai has an adopted son." Tianxiang reminded Cui Xiaoxiao, "That's also Master Bai's child."

"How can an adopted son compare to a biological one?" Cui Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, "It's only that old man who still wants to find him an adopted son. When the biological one is born, there will be no need for an adopted son. Then he can just find a reason to give up the adoption."

Cui Xiaoxiao never kept her mouth shut, and she didn't expect that while she was speaking, a figure flashed by outside.

As Cui Xiaoxiao spoke, another idea came to her mind, "Go out quietly and spread the news, saying that Mr. Bai is inhumane. The more people know, the better. By then, no one in the entire capital will dare to marry him, and our good days will come."

"Yes." Tianxiang responded, turned around and went out to work.

The news from the Marquis Zhongping's Mansion spread quickly. Wen Tingbai heard the servants gossiping and went to find Qiao Lian in anger.

"Second Master..." Qiao Lian stood beside the table, a little terrified, "Why did Second Master come here suddenly?"

"Why am I here all of a sudden?" Wen Tingbai's face was filled with anger. He strode forward and slapped Qiao Lian's pretty face twice. "I really gave you face, but you dared to go out and say that I'm inhumane. Who gave you the courage?"

"Second Master, I didn't..." Qiao Lian was horrified, covering her face that had just been slapped, and said, "I haven't been out of the house all day. Heaven and earth can testify to this, Second Master, I haven't said a single bad thing about you."

"If you hadn't said it, how could it have spread so widely outside?" Wen Tingbai's face was dark, and he didn't believe what Qiao Lian said at all.

"Second Master, I don't know. I don't know why the news spread outside." Qiao Lian cried with tears in her eyes, but she looked a bit pitiful. "Second Master, how dare I say anything bad about you? I'm afraid it was the servant in the yard who spread the rumor. It's really not me..."

Although Wen Tingbo still had some doubts, seeing Qiao Lian's tearful appearance, he turned his head and looked at the servants in Qiao Lian's yard, "Sell all of these, don't keep any."

"Yes..." Qiao Lian kowtowed to Wen Tingbo while crying. Now, as long as Wen Tingbo didn't sell her out, everything would be fine.

People were coming and going in the yard. There were four maids in Qiao Lian's room, all of whom were crying heartbreakingly, alarming many people in the mansion.

When Mrs. Wang heard about Wen Tingbai's situation, she rushed over in a hurry.

Mrs. Wang looked at her son and the tied-up maids and asked in panic, "What's going on?"

"They went out to spread rumors and ruin my reputation, so they sold them all." Wen Tingbai looked at Madam Wang with a dark face and said, "Mother may have heard those rumors too."

"There's no smoke without fire. How did those rumors come about?" Mrs. Wang looked at her son and finally said those two unpleasant words, "Son, you're not really..."

Wen Tingbo couldn't stand hearing this, and he immediately flew into a rage, "Mother, how could you doubt your son based on rumors outside?"

"They are just some false rumors. Mother, don't take them to heart. Once these maids are sold, the rumors will stop." Wen Tingbai said, and left the yard with a dark face, leaving Mrs. Wang and Qiao Lian kneeling on the ground crying.

No one knows a child better than his mother. Mrs. Wang immediately felt disappointed. She walked over to Qiaolian and looked at her with complicated eyes. "Qiaolian, tell me, Tingbai..."

Qiao Lian looked up at Madam Wang in fear and said, "I didn't say anything. Madam, I have never said a bad word about the Second Master to anyone outside."

When Mrs. Wang heard Qiao Lian say this, she knew that what Qiao Lian said was true.

Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it anymore and took two steps back. She held onto the door frame and said tremblingly, "I was originally thinking of finding him a new marriage. It was hard to find a marriage for him to begin with, and it's even harder now."

Wen Tingbai returned to his study and started practicing calligraphy, but soon he pushed all the books on the table away in annoyance, "Rui Qing, come in!"

Wen Tingbai's personal servant heard the call and rushed into the room, "Second Master is calling me."

"Go find me a doctor." Wen Tingbai's face was very ugly now. "Remember to find a doctor secretly, don't let anyone see you."

"I understand, Master."

Ruiqing went out to call a doctor for Wen Tingbai, and the doctor arrived soon.

Wen Tingbai looked at the doctor who was taking his pulse and asked anxiously, "Doctor, what's wrong with me now? How did I get this disease? Can I get better?"

The doctor looked at Wen Tingbai with a frown on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Second Master's current symptoms seem to be caused by poisoning. I know there is a medicine in this world called the root-killing medicine. Taking this medicine can make a man incapable of sexual intercourse. I'm afraid Second Master took this medicine."

"What?" Wen Tingbai stood up in panic, "Is there a way to break this medicine?"

The doctor looked at Wen Tingbai and shook his head woodenly, "I'm afraid there is no way. This medicine takes effect quickly and has a strong effect. Once you take it, it will last a lifetime."

Wen Tingbo's face was already extremely ugly. He reached out and grabbed the cup on the table, but in a moment the cup broke into pieces.

Seeing this, the doctor quickly picked up two nice words to offer, "If Second Master takes good care of himself and seeks out a famous doctor in the capital, I'm afraid there is still a chance of recovery."

Wen Tingbai coughed twice and said, "Doctor, please don't tell anyone about what happened today."

"Of course." The doctor bowed repeatedly and left the Mansion of Marquis Zhongping.

Wen Tingbai sat on a chair in the study, looking out with a gloomy face, "Check, check for me who drugged me! I, Wen Tingbai, will definitely not coexist with him."
