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

General's Mansion.

Song Jing originally thought that his marriage with the Shangshu Mansion was a sure thing, but he never expected that even after sending several invitations to the Shangshu Mansion, he was rejected in every reply.

Song Jing understood the Shangshu Mansion's intention and became furious. He cursed the Shangshu Mansion in the study for going back on its word.

Song Wanning, who was still in the boudoir, heard about Song Jing's temper. She came out of the yard to find Song Jing and smiled to comfort him, "Father, nowadays, it is common for noble families in Shengjing to look at each other and not like each other. As a person who has been married once, it is normal for others to look down on my daughter. Don't be angry, father."

He threw the reply from the Shangshu Mansion to the ground and said coldly, "Zhao Ting was still trying to please me a few days ago, but now he has turned his back on me in just a few days. Does he really think Wan Ning is begging to marry into his family?"

Song Wanning laughed even more after hearing what Song Jing said. She just picked up the note on the ground and said, "Father, the Shangshu Mansion has never promised to marry their daughter."

Song Jing looked at Song Wanning, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "That's what I said, but you will be eighteen next year. Seeing that you are getting older, how can I not be anxious as a father?"

When Song Wanning heard Song Jing mention age, she immediately had a better excuse. She mentioned Song Lan with a smile, "Father, if we talk about age, my eldest brother will be twenty next year. Instead of worrying about me, you should find a good marriage for my eldest brother so that he can start a family and build a career as soon as possible."

As Song Wanning was talking, Song Lan came back from outside and said to her, "Okay, sister, in order to let your father let you go, you actually used me as a shield."

Hearing this, Song Wanning also stepped back guiltily and responded with a smile, "Brother, you are wrong. I am only trying to help you. You are almost twenty now. If I don't find you a marriage partner, I'm afraid it will be hard to find a suitable one."

Song Lan's face turned dark and he was about to hit Song Wanning.

Song Jing looked cold and glanced at Song Lan indifferently, "Don't bully your sister."

Song Lan stopped and said to Song Jing with a smile, "I was just joking with her."

Song Jing looked at the brother and sister and said gently, "I have kept your lifelong affairs in mind. Brother Lan, you can take a look at the girls from the official families in the capital to see if there are any you like. If not, just wait for me to send an invitation and take you to the noble family in the capital to meet them."

Song Lan did not respond immediately, but talked about another matter, "Father, I just went out for a walk and got some information. I heard that the Shangshu Mansion was very satisfied with Wan Ning and was just waiting to send a letter to visit before proposing to the General Mansion. Who knew that they changed their minds a few days ago."

After hearing this, Song Jing showed a surprised look on his face, "Why is that?"

Song Lan knows a lot of people in the capital, so it's not surprising that he knows this news. "I heard that the Prime Minister went to the Shangshu Mansion to talk a few days ago, and then the Shangshu Mansion changed its tone. It's always the Prime Minister who reminded the Shangshu Mansion of something, so that the Shangshu Mansion changed its mind."

After hearing what Song Lan said, Song Jing raised his fist and slammed it on the table with a sullen face. "I have tolerated Yin Yichen again and again. Who would have thought that he would be so hard on me."

Song Lan's eyes were also complicated for a moment, "I heard that Yin Yichen has always been in charge of the affairs of the court and has never cared about other things. Now he is in charge of our daughter's marriage, which is very strange."

Song Wanning felt ashamed. She never expected Yin Yichen to do such a thing behind her back.

Song Lan looked at Song Wanning's expression and sighed, "Moreover, Prime Minister Yin hinted to the Shangshu Mansion that if they married my daughter, they would become the target of public criticism. Now in the capital, I'm afraid that few families dare to come and see Wanning."

Song Jing stood up with a dark face and sneered, "Yin Yichen is so mean to my family, I want to ask him for an explanation."

Song Wanning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried forward to persuade Song Jing, "Father, I'm not in a hurry to get married now. I see that I still have a lot of things to do at home. I also want to spend more time with father and elder brother, so let's talk about the meeting later."

After hearing what Song Wanning said, Song Jing's expression finally eased a bit, and he comforted Song Wanning, "Wanning, don't worry. Since the boys in the capital are not good, just look at other families."

Song Jing said, his eyes fixed on the distance, and he said slowly, "A few days ago, your uncle and aunt in Jiangnan wrote to me, saying that they will arrive in Beijing soon. There is a very good boy of eighteen in his family. Wan Ning remembers that you played with him when you were a child?"

"Ah?" Song Wanning was stunned for a moment, as if she remembered that there was such a person when she was a child, and she was often bullied by him when she was young. But now she has a calm personality and is no longer as playful as before.

"I heard from your uncle's family that his son has not yet been betrothed, and is just waiting for your family to arrive in Beijing. The two families are old friends, so talking about marriage is a close relationship."

Song Wanning was embarrassed for a moment, but she couldn't find a reason to refute, so she just wiped the sweat off her forehead and passed it off. When she raised her eyes, she saw Song Lan's gloating expression, and Song Wanning kicked him in anger.

-

In the court, Song Jingfang finished his morning court session, but he was still worried about the fact that Yin Yichen had ruined his daughter's marriage.

Although Song Jing did not lose his temper on the spot, he approached Yin Yichen who was walking out just after the court session.

Yin Yichen wore a crimson-purple official uniform, but he was very different from the people around him because of his tall and slender figure. Yin Yichen had no relatives or friends in the officialdom, and from a distance he was seen walking alone on the road, looking very aloof and arrogant.

Although Song Jing spoke politely, his expression was not very good. He said coldly, "Prime Minister Yin, I am sorry to bother you today. I have a few words to say to you. I wonder if you can give me a favor?"

Yin Yichen turned his head to look at Song Jing, his left eyebrow raised in surprise, and said with a smile, "General Song Jing is here to talk to me about something important?"

Song Jing was furious when he saw Yin Yichen's nonchalant look. "I've heard that Prime Minister Yin only cares about the government affairs, but I heard that he ruined my daughter's marriage. I wonder if the Prime Minister has ever heard the saying that it is better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage. Isn't the Prime Minister afraid that he won't be able to find a girl that suits his taste by doing this?"

If other people heard what Song Jing said, they would be horrified. Yin Yichen was famous for holding grudges. But Yin Yichen was smiling now and asked calmly, "General Song Jing said that I ruined your daughter's marriage. Do you have any evidence?"

Song Jing frowned, looked at Yin Yichen and snorted coldly, "Whether it is true or not, the Prime Minister should know it clearly in his heart."
