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

Song Wanning couldn't figure out where this maid came from, and didn't dare to agree easily. She just asked, "Who is your wife..."

Who knew that the little maid would actually keep it a secret, just looking at Song Wanning and smiling, "You'll know when you go there."

Nowadays, the families who can enter the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion are either rich or noble. Seeing this, Song Wanning couldn't refuse to go, so she had to say goodbye to Mother Qin first, "Please tell Yuyuan that I will be back soon."

Mother Qin responded and watched Song Wanning follow the maid to the backyard.

As soon as she entered the yard, Song Wanning saw a beautifully dressed woman coming towards her. She said with a smile, "I guess you are Miss Ning."

Song Wanning nodded slightly and looked at the woman in confusion, "You are..."

Li looked at Song Wanning's clothes and smiled in appreciation. She said, "I am Li, the mistress of the Minister of Personnel's residence. I wanted to talk to Miss Ning, but I was afraid it would be presumptuous to send her an invitation so I thought of taking advantage of this party to meet her."

Song Wanning looked at Li and now she understood.

A few days ago, the eldest son of the Shangshu family went to the Song Mansion to meet her. Today, the Shangshu's wife came again, perhaps wanting to see with her own eyes what kind of person Song Wanning is.

Song Wanning was surprised. If Li came, she was afraid that Zhao Ming and the other party would have already taken a fancy to her. Song Wanning had just escaped from that tiger's den and didn't want to marry again. However, she had no way to tell Li about her thoughts and could only wait to go home and talk to Song Jing.

Song Wanning said, bowing to Li and whispering, "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness."

Li chuckled and told Song Wanning about the Marquis' Mansion. "I've heard that Miss Ning is a very virtuous woman. She has been the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion for three years and has managed the mansion very well."

After hearing this, Song Wanning smiled and said, "This is all rumored. It's hard enough to manage the money and food for the whole family in the Marquis' Mansion, let alone the maids and servants. I didn't do a good job in the Marquis' Mansion at first, I just managed to hold on, so later I gave my housekeeping job to Madam Fei of your Marquis' Mansion."

After hearing what Song Wanning said, Li actually comforted Song Wanning, "You are still young, it is not easy for you to do this."

Song Wanning couldn't figure out Li's thoughts, so she could only guess blindly, "This big family's affairs are not simple, but they are not that difficult either. It's just that Wanning is stupid. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would do better than me."

Li looked at Song Wanning and stopped talking about the Marquis' Mansion. She said, "I heard that the chrysanthemums in the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion are in full bloom today. If Miss Ning has time, can you accompany me for a walk?"

Song Wanning only smiled and nodded, looking at Li and said, "Madam, if you sincerely invite me, I shouldn't refuse. But I came here today to talk to Madam Liu as she asked me to do. I'm afraid there are many people admiring the chrysanthemums over there. I just got divorced not long ago, so I'm afraid that if I show off in public, I'll cause criticism. I hope Madam will understand."

Li's eyes were filled with regret, but she still sighed and said, "Since that's the case, since I'm here, I'll go and see the chrysanthemums in the Marquis' Mansion by myself."

Song Wanning bid farewell to Li, crossed the small bridge of the Marquis' Mansion and walked towards the other end of the corridor again.

Mother Qin had already told Liu Yuyuan about this, and she turned back to wait for Song Wanning. When she saw Song Wanning, she hurried forward and said with a smile, "Miss Ning, if you don't come, my grandmother will probably call over to look for you herself."

"It's hard for her to have such a heart."

Song Wanning breathed a sigh of relief, a sincere smile appeared on her face, and she followed Mother Qin to Liu Yuyuan's yard.

Liu Yuyuan had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Song Wanning, she ran over and said with a smile, "It's so hard for me to meet you. I don't know who tripped you up in that yard. You haven't come for a long time."

"Don't blame me, if your chrysanthemum banquet hadn't invited so many people, would I have been stuck outside?" Song Wanning said, looking at Liu Yuyuan and smiled sweetly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I see that your chin has become fatter."

Liu Yuyuan touched her chin and said angrily, "I've been staying in the house all day long and have no one to talk to. It's not surprising if I gain some weight."

Liu Yuyuan said, looking Song Wanning around, "As for you, you look very different now than when I saw you before. Miss Ning is still the beautiful Miss Ning."

Song Wanning reached out her hand and tapped Liu Yuyuan's forehead, smiling and saying, "You are a mother now, but you are not more dignified."

Liu Yuyuan took Song Wanning's arm and walked into the house. "My life is relatively stable now, but you finally crawled out of the pile of living dead. Are you thinking of finding a new ideal husband now?"

Song Wanning sighed and said to Liu Yuyuan, "I have figured it out now. No matter what kind of husband I want, it is not as real as the money in my hand. Instead of taking care of the big family, I might as well think about how to make money. My father and brother are officials in the court, so they won't say anything if I don't get married."

"You are only seventeen years old now. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't get married?" Liu Yuyuan frowned and looked at Song Wanning and said, "There are countless good men in Shengjing now, but not all of them are as ruthless as Wen Tingbai. It's better to find a good one again."

Song Wanning picked up the tea that Liu Yuyuan had prepared for her, propped up her chin with one hand and sighed, "I am still able to find a husband after remarrying. I'm afraid those men are only attracted by the reputation of my general's mansion. I don't think it's interesting."

"How can you think it's boring if you haven't seen it?" Liu Yuyuan stood up and smiled at Mother Qin at the door, "Mom, Wan Ning and I are going to the back hills to look at the chrysanthemums. Where do you think the flowers are the best?"

Mother Qin, who had been with Liu Yuyuan for more than ten years, immediately understood what Liu Yuyuan meant and smiled and said, "Grandma, the flowers in the entire mansion are blooming well, but there are many handsome men in the back mountain area."

"Okay, then let's go to the back mountain to appreciate the chrysanthemums." Liu Yuyuan pulled Song Wanning and was about to leave the yard.

Song Wanning was now at a loss for words, "Yuyuan, you said you came to talk to me today, why are you taking me to see someone again?"

"Who are you meeting?" Liu Yuyuan was quite good at pretending to be stupid. She just blinked and said, "Aren't we going to appreciate the chrysanthemums? Besides, there are not only young men in the back mountain, but also many young ladies."

Song Wanning had no choice but to follow Liu Yuyuan to the back mountain. From afar, she saw a dozen handsome men lingering around, which was quite a sight.
