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

There was only one hill behind the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion, and it was planted with chrysanthemums. Because the Marquis's wife loved them, the chrysanthemums were of different colors. She had asked the Marquis's wife to collect all the colors that had never been seen in Shengjing.

When Song Wanning came, she didn't bother to see which man was there. Instead, her attention was attracted by the chrysanthemums on the mountain.

Nowadays, the most common chrysanthemums in Shengjing are yellow chrysanthemums, while the yellow chrysanthemums in the Marquis' Mansion are the least, and the pink and green chrysanthemums are not rare. However, the autumn-colored chrysanthemums and purple chrysanthemums are what Song Wanning finds rare.

Song Wanning looked at the chrysanthemums and smiled at the people around her, "Yuyuan, I've heard that the wife of the Marquis' Mansion loves chrysanthemums. Now that I see these chrysanthemums, I know that chrysanthemums are indeed very special to appreciate. I just don't know how the wife of the Marquis' Mansion collected so many chrysanthemums?"

Song Wanning didn't expect that the person who responded to her was not Liu Yuyuan, but Zhao Minghe, who had just visited Shangshu Mansion a few days ago. "Anyone who is interested can naturally collect them. I have heard that there are skilled craftsmen who specialize in cultivating various colors of chrysanthemums. I think these rare flowers are all cultivated by gardeners."

Song Wanning raised her head and bowed to Zhao Minghe, "Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Minghe saw how Song Wanning was dressed today, his eyes flashed, and he just smiled and said, "Today I came to the Marquis' Mansion with my wife to appreciate the chrysanthemums. I didn't expect to meet Miss Ning here."

Song Wanning was not too far from Zhao Minghe, and spoke in a distant and polite manner, "The Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion has a wide range of contacts in the capital, so it's not surprising that we meet."

"That's right, young lady." Zhao Minghe smiled and looked at Song Wanning and said, "Today, when I saw you here, I came up to talk to you. I was a little presumptuous."

"Mr. Zhao, you are too polite. Chrysanthemums are rare and everyone comes here to appreciate them. It is a kind of fate to be able to see them."

After Song Wanning finished speaking, she seemed to want to say goodbye, but Zhao Minghe was unwilling to give up this opportunity that he had finally gotten. He said to Song Wanning, "I only met you briefly at the general's mansion that day. Now that we meet today, why don't we take a walk together and enjoy the magnificent view of the chrysanthemums covering the mountain together."

Song Wanning didn't expect that the scene of her standing in a corner and talking to Zhao Minghe had already been seen by others.

The Marquis' Mansion is now full of nobles. Several young men from the families of officials in the capital city are now discussing the two. The leader is Wan Jiqing, the son of the Imperial Censor of the capital. When he saw Zhao Minghe, he laughed and said, "I was wondering why you disappeared. It turns out that you saw a girl talking to someone. I wonder whose girl she is?"

The man next to Wan Jiqing replied, "From the Weiwu General's Mansion."

Wan Jiqing stroked his chin thoughtfully, "She looks quite pretty, but isn't the daughter of the mighty general married to Wen Tingbai? How could she be here?"

"Brother Jiqing, you don't know that Song Wanning divorced last month and has now returned to the Song Mansion. I only heard that Wen Tingbai is a cruel man and has caused the girl to suffer for several years."

Wan Jiqing laughed and joked, "Interesting, Mr. Zhao usually keeps a low profile, but who would have thought that the first person he made a move on was a remarried woman."

"General Song Jing of the Weiwu General's Mansion is now favored by the emperor. If Brother Zhao can really marry her, I'm afraid his future will be much easier. Besides, Miss Ning is as beautiful as a flower, so this deal is a win-win."

As everyone was discussing, someone suddenly appeared from behind and said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way. You're blocking the road."

"Who?"

Wan Jiqing turned around and wanted to curse, but who would have thought that the person who came was the Prime Minister Yin Yichen. He quickly stepped back a few steps and walked around, "Prime Minister, we didn't know that we were offended by your presence. Please forgive us."

Yin Yichen looked cold and indifferent. He was usually busy with many things and rarely attended such banquets. But today, he came for some unknown reason. Yin Yichen only glanced at Wan Jiqing indifferently, which made Wan Jiqing's hair stand on end.

In this case, it is not Wan Jiqing's fault that he is timid, but it is because Yin Yichen is a person that even his father is afraid of, so how can he not be afraid?

Yin Yichen had only taken a few steps forward when Wan Jiqing and a few of his men ran away like rats, leaving Yin Yichen standing there.

As it should be, the voices of Song Wanning and Zhao Minghe on the other end became more and more obvious.

Song Wanning's voice was cold, but she spoke tactfully, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for inviting me. But I originally came here with Madam Liu, but now I don't know where she is. I'm afraid I have to go look for her, so you can just walk around the garden by yourself."

"If that's the case, I'm being presumptuous. Please do as you please, Miss Ning." Zhao Minghe looked at Song Wanning with a hint of smile in his eyes, and said lightly, "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely visit the general's mansion again."

"You're too polite, Mr. Zhao."

After Song Wanning finished her words, she finally said goodbye to Zhao Minghe and walked towards the exit. Who would have thought that when she passed by a hidden flower bush, she was pulled into it by a hand.

Song Wanning was frightened and took out a hairpin from her sleeve to fight back, but she saw that the person pulling her was Yin Yichen. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, and the Prime Minister has learned such a scary behavior."

Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and sneered, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Miss Ning has already started to think about her own life. She just got out of the misery of the Marquis' Mansion and met another one right away."

Song Wanning had seen Yin Yichen's ability to confront people before, so she didn't get angry when she heard her say that. She just replied calmly, "We are very happy to receive the Prime Minister's praise."

Seeing that Song Wanning's expression remained unchanged, Yin Yichen frowned and said, "You always said that you would not let my business lose money. Why are you not thinking about how to make money, but now you are thinking about getting married? Don't let me down."

After hearing what Yin Yichen said, Song Wanning burst out laughing. "Prime Minister, when you first came to me, I was still the grandmother of the Marquisate. I was busy with housekeeping and business, and I didn't see you worry or fear. At that time, I advised the Prime Minister not to cooperate with me, but the Prime Minister said he trusted me. Why are you worried about the business now?"

Yin Yichen paused, and after hearing what Song Wanning said, he just responded, "You were like a living widow in the Marquis' Mansion, and your mind was only on making money. Now that you are divorced, your mind is all on finding a husband, so how can you have the time to take care of the business?"

Song Wanning stared straight at Yin Yichen, her extremely beautiful face full of confidence. She only said, "How does the Prime Minister know that I have no business in my mind?"
