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

Seeing Song Wanning's behavior, Yang was about to retort, but the lady beside her pulled her sleeve and said, "Madam, Miss Ning's father is now a mighty general appointed by the court, and he is in the limelight. Although you are the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, you should give him some face."

After hearing this, although Yang looked dissatisfied, she still said patiently, "Although his family background is good, his character is flawed. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. If you associate with such a person for a long time, I'm afraid you will lose 70% of his virtues."

"Madam, as far as I know, Master Sui was impeached in the court a few days ago, and my father, the mighty general, spoke up for him, so that Master Sui was spared from punishment. Why do you think my father helped him? Was it because of the reputation of the Pingyuan Marquisate? It was because Yuyuan and I were close friends."

Song Wanning smiled faintly and looked at Yang and said, "This is the first time I've seen a mistress like Madam who doesn't care about her daughter-in-law's hard work or the help of her friends."

Yang's face turned pale and blue, and she pointed at Song Wanning and said, "Do you think our Marquis' Mansion needs your General's Mansion's help? Do you think our Marquis' Mansion's friends in the court are all vegetarians? Do you think you take your General's Mansion seriously?"

Song Wanning now seemed to have suppressed her domineering aura by about 70%, and said coldly, "If that's the case, I will immediately return to the mansion to inform father that the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion has a grudge against the Weiwu General's Mansion. Our General's Mansion is a small family and cannot be regarded as a member of the Marquis' Mansion. Let father break off relations with the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion in the future, and let each of us pursue our own future."

After Song Wanning said this, the people from the second and third rooms around Yang could no longer stand idly by.

If the Marquis's Mansion and the General's Mansion become enemies in the future, it will be a hundred harms and no benefit. The wives of the second and third rooms hurried forward. The wife of the second room, Mrs. Li, looked at Song Wanning and smiled apologetically, "Miss Ning, my sister-in-law has always been a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I really don't have the slightest intention to disrespect Miss Ning. Please don't take it to heart."

"Really?" Song Wanning chuckled, took two steps forward, looked directly at Yang, and said lightly, "But I don't think the first wife means that."

Yang finally came to her senses and could only reluctantly say, "Ms. Ning is Yuyuan's good friend. When you come to visit my Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, just treat it as your own home."

"I am very happy that Madam said so. I just hope Madam can remember that Yuyuan and I are like biological sisters. If Madam is dissatisfied in the future, I hope Madam will be lenient." Song Wanning stood still and just pulled Liu Yuyuan's arm and said, "If not, the Liu family will not be able to stand up, and my general's mansion can also stand up and seek justice for her."

Seeing this, Liu Yuyuan hurriedly said goodbye to Yang and took Song Wanning away. She looked at Song Wanning with a sad face and said, "You helped me so much today, but the others are all rich and powerful. If you get a reputation for being arrogant because of this, I will feel guilty to death."

"What is there to feel guilty about?" Song Wanning comforted Liu Yushiyuan, patting her arm and saying, "If I watched you being bullied and did nothing, I would be the one who deserves to be discredited. Besides, I don't really care about reputation anymore."

Liu Yuyuan was a sentimental person. After hearing what Song Wanning said, she couldn't help shedding two tears. "Wanning, I am very lucky to be your good friend in this life."

Song Wanning smiled and patted Liu Yuyuan's arm, comforting her, "Since we are close friends, we should not abandon each other. Back then, my reputation in the Marquis' Mansion was so bad, but you were the only one willing to associate with me. I remember everything you did to me in the past."

After hearing what Song Wanning said, Liu Yuyuan also laughed out loud with relief.

The chrysanthemum banquet at the Marquis' Mansion gradually ended, and the wife of the Shangshu Mansion, who had been hiding in the back watching the show, also left.

Song Wanning thought to herself that now that she had caused such a big scene in the Marquis' Mansion, she was afraid that the nobles present would no longer dare to propose to her easily, and she was also afraid that the idea of ​​becoming the Shangshu's wife would also be abandoned.

On the other side, the Shangshu's wife and Zhao Minghe got on the carriage back home together.

The weather was so hot, and the Shangshu's wife fanned herself with a fan and asked calmly, "Did you see Miss Ning today?"

Zhao Minghe responded quickly, "Madam, I saw her. I talked to her in the back hills."

The Shangshu's wife glanced at Zhao Minghe and asked, "What do you think of Miss Ning?"

Zhao Minghe recalled the scene when he talked to Song Wanning in the back mountain, and said frankly, "Ms. Ning is beautiful but not glamorous or vulgar. She is extremely elegant. When I talked to her, she was neither humble nor arrogant, but polite."

After hearing what Zhao Minghe said, the Shangshu's wife nodded and praised, "Miss Ning is a capable girl who can handle things. It's a pity that she showed off a little bit in the Marquis' Mansion today and offended the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion."

Zhao Minghe sat beside the Shangshu's wife and asked humbly, "What do you think, mother?"

"She confronted the Marquis's mistress today only because she treated her close friend with disrespect. If she becomes your wife in the future and you two are husband and wife, she will definitely do her best to help you."

The Shangshu's wife looked at Zhao Minghe and said earnestly, "If you marry into the General's Mansion, your career will be much smoother. Besides, Miss Ning is both beautiful and talented. Although she has been married once, you also know the situation of Mr. Bai. It is not a disgrace for you to marry her. It's just that your reputation will be a little worse, but this is the least important. If you can get along well in the future, your reputation will naturally improve."

After hearing this, Zhao Minghe responded, "Thank you for your advice, mother. This marriage... is entirely up to you."

Seeing her son's reaction, the Shangshu's wife nodded in satisfaction. Zhao Minghe said he was unwilling a few days ago, but now he is willing. I'm afraid he has taken a fancy to Song Wanning.

"In that case, when we get back home, I will ask your father to send an invitation and bring a matchmaker to your house to propose marriage to you."

"It's really hard for a mother to run around and work hard for her children."

When the Shangshu's wife said this, she patted Zhao Minghe's hand with satisfaction and said softly, "If you can become successful in the future, it will be worth your mother's efforts in planning for you."

The mother and son chatted all the way until they returned to the Shangshu Mansion. As soon as they entered the house to discuss with the Shangshu, Yin Yichen came to visit.

The Shangshu's wife frowned, looking puzzled, "What is he doing here?"

The Shangshu Lord on the side hurriedly asked people to go out to greet him, clapping his hands helplessly, "No matter what he comes for, let's welcome this ancestor in first."
