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

"General Song, I have to say a few words to you." Yin Yichen looked righteous and even lectured the general who had made many contributions to the court. He said shamelessly, "Nowadays, whether it is leading troops or solving cases, the word "reason" is important. The general actually came to question me without any evidence. If the world only cares about justice in the hearts of the people, then what is the point of keeping the Dali Temple?"

"You..." Song Jing didn't expect Yin Yichen to be such an unreasonable person. He just asked coldly, "Prime Minister Yin, can you ask yourself, have you ever interfered in the marriage of the general's daughter?"

The smile on Yin Yichen's face faded a bit, and he looked at Song Jing and said, "General Song, if you don't have any evidence, you might as well go back to your residence and rest. This kind of question is extremely boring now, and I don't have the time to discuss this with you here."

Song Jing looked at Yin Yichen with a cold face and said, "Since the Prime Minister said so, I will believe the Prime Minister this time. I think what I heard in the mansion was just a misunderstanding. The Prime Minister has never interfered in my daughter's marriage, and the Prime Minister has no desire for my daughter. In the future, I ask the Prime Minister to take a detour when he encounters my daughter's marriage, so as to avoid further disputes."

After Song Jing finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Yin Yichen alone.

Yin Yichen frowned and whispered to himself, "I didn't agree."

-

The Mansion of Marquis Zhongping.

Wen Tingbai has been in a state of depression since he found out that he would not have an heir, and the people in the mansion have gradually become cold towards him.

However, Wen Tingbo never drove Cui Xiaoxiao out of the house after she lost her child, but let her live in Lan Courtyard as usual. Perhaps he knew that he was punished for his mistakes, so he stopped fighting with Cui Xiaoxiao.

Seeing that the day to repay the silver owed by the General's Mansion was approaching, Wen Tingbai had no money to pay the debt, so he just shouted in the house, "I have no money, tell them to tie me up and lock me up in the Dali Temple, and execute me in the autumn. Anyway, I don't want to live anymore."

Wen Tingbai seems to be crazy now. "Let Xiao Xiao be buried with me. Since we tortured each other when we were alive, we should accompany each other after death."

After all, Wen Tingbai is Lady Wang’s biological son. Even though he made a mistake, how could Lady Wang bear to watch her own son die like this?

Mrs. Wang sighed when she knew the situation. She looked at Yuchan beside her and said, "Did you ask the eldest wife a few days ago? Did she say she was willing to pay back the money from Zhonggong?"

Yuchan shook her head and looked at Madam Wang's reply, "Now that the first house is in power, the housekeeping power is also in the hands of the first house. Madam Fei just said that the middle master is in a tight spot. The debt repayment issue was caused by the second master himself. He was unwilling to pay the bill from the middle master and asked us, the second house, to find a way on our own."

In the past, the old lady had always been close to the second wife, and she was very fond of Wen Tingbo. Now that she saw that the situation was not right, she turned around and got close to the people in the first wife. When Mrs. Wang thought of this, she felt very angry and tired. "I thought that selling the two shops in the mansion would make it go away, but now it seems that I can only pay for it from my own dowry."

Yu Chan felt sorry for Madam Wang after hearing this and said, "Madam, you have already supplemented a lot of your dowry over the years, but you still have to leave some for Xun'er as a betrothal gift. Now you have to supplement Mr. Bai's dowry, so there is less and less left."

"What else can we do? Who made me give birth to such a son? He is now completely useless." Madam Wang shook her head and told Yuchan, "Go and take three thousand taels of silver from my dowry and send it to the general's mansion early in the morning. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other's marriage."

Yuchan said yes.

Who would have thought that the next morning, Wen Tingbai heard rumors from somewhere that he had to pay off his debt. How could he miss this good opportunity to save face? He seemed to be in much better spirits and went to the general's mansion with Yuchan and the servants of the marquis' mansion.

Wen Tingbai dressed up specially and looked quite respectable, but it was a pity that people pointed at him wherever he went.

Arriving at the General's Mansion, Wen Tingbai stood at the gate and looked at the servant at the gate. He said, "Go and tell Miss Ning that Master Bai is here to settle the account with her."

The servant at the door smiled and said to Wen Tingbai, "Second Master Bai, our old master has instructed us early in the morning that if you come, just give me all the money and I will take it in."

How could Wen Tingbai miss this only chance? He said with a dark face, "No, I must see Song Wanning in person today before I can give her the money. Go in and call someone."

Yuchan, who was beside Wen Tingbai, saw her acting like this and couldn't help but step forward and say, "Second Master, Madam told us to return home as soon as we pay back the money. Otherwise, we should avoid any trouble. I'm afraid Madam will be angry if she finds out."

Wen Tingbai was no longer interested in Yuchan's words. He just waved his hand and said, "I'll just see Song Wanning and then leave."

As Wen Tingbai spoke, he stood at the gate of the general's mansion and looked inside.

Not long after, I actually saw Song Wanning walking out from inside.

She was now wearing a light silk dress with narrow sleeves and floral patterns. It was the same light purple color as hyacinths after the rain in early spring. She had a turquoise purse tied around her waist, the tassels of which swayed with her steps, making her look like a breeze.

Because now she is a girl again, she wears her hair in a girl's bun, and her hair hangs down softly in front of her chest, looking very beautiful.

Wen Tingbai's heart moved. He really couldn't understand why he was bewitched by a mediocre woman like Cui Xiaoxiao, and instead failed to see that the person next to him was the real beauty.

It’s a pity that it’s too late to say anything.

Song Wanning was followed by seven or eight maids and old women. They came out with her and soon arrived in front of Wen Tingbai.

Song Wanning had a pretty face. She stood five feet away from Wen Tingbai and spoke slowly, "I heard that Mr. Bai wanted to see me. I wonder if he has anything to say now? If he does, we'll have to fight it out. You won't be able to see me again in the future."

Wen Tingbai felt a pain in his heart when he heard Song Wanning say this. He looked at Song Wanning and said, "Wanning, you and I are husband and wife. Do you really want to treat me like this? Don't you have any attachment to me in your heart?"

Song Wanning felt extremely annoyed when she heard Wen Tingbai say this, and said coldly, "If you don't have anything important to say, please return the money as soon as possible."

Wen Tingbai looked at Song Wanning with an expression of deep affection that he could not restrain. "Wanning, I heard that there is a famous doctor in Jiangnan who can cure my illness. When I recover, if you still remember me, I will come to the General's Mansion to propose marriage again. After all, now, you are not married, and I am not married either."

Song Wanning sneered and said, "Wen Tingbai, you don't marry because you can't get one, and I don't marry because I don't want to marry. I'm different from you."
