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

Seeing his plan fail and being insulted by Song Wanning, Wen Tingbai said with a dark face, "Song Wanning, you are in power now, but one day I will trample you under my feet."

After Wen Tingbai finished speaking harshly, he took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and threw them on the ground, "Didn't you ask for money? I'll give it back to you! I, Wen Tingbai, am so unlucky to have married a heartless and ungrateful woman like you."

After doing all this, Wen Tingbai finally felt relieved and turned around and returned to the Marquis' Mansion without looking back.

Song Wanning glanced at the colorful bird beside her and said calmly, "Pick up the money and lock it in the small warehouse. No one will go against money."

Cai Que responded and picked up the silver bills that Wen Tingbo had thrown on the ground and put them into his sleeves one by one.

Song Wanning had no time to care about Wen Tingbai's affairs. He was now childless and could no longer have his own children. He could no longer marry the daughter of a noble family in Shengjing. I'm afraid his career had come to an end. In this way, it seemed that he had avenged himself in his previous life.

Song Wanning was thinking about the tea business she had talked about with Yin Yichen not long ago. She should go for it now. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would be ridiculed when Yin Yichen asked about the methods she had not explained.

Thinking of Yin Yichen, Song Wanning didn't know whether she should be happy that she had an ally, or sad that she had someone who kept an eye on her business every day.

Song Wanning thought about it and started to do what she wanted to do.

Zhuque brought Song Wanning the news she wanted. "Miss, I took people to investigate the streets of Shengjing. There are many teahouses in Shengjing now, and the tea in the teahouses is all imported from Lingnan. Among them, the best business is Songfenglou, the largest teahouse in the capital, and its rival Bishuitang."

"But the customers of these two teahouses are similar. They have been competing fiercely in recent years. Now Bishuitang has gradually declined. There are countless other tea merchants and teahouses. If we want to gain a foothold here, it will not be easy."

Song Wanning looked at Zhuque and smiled faintly, "I'm afraid that Bishuitang will be less and less competitive with Songfenglou now. But we are not in a hurry to make a move. Let's go find the tea merchants to order the tea first. I want to meet all the dozen tea merchants I asked you to find now."

"I know, girl."

Song Wanning said, and went back to the courtyard to pack her things, and found a veil to wear. Although it was not uncommon to do business in Shengjing nowadays, she was an unmarried woman from an official family after all, so it was better for her to keep a low profile.

Song Wanning and Caique Zhuque went out together and met the largest tea supplier in Shengjing.

The supplier's name is Cai Changgu. He has always been in the tea business of transporting tea from Lingnan to Kyoto. Now his family has become a wealthy family in the capital thanks to this business.

The bosses who bought tea from such merchants were always rich or noble. If Song Wanning didn't have any background, she wouldn't even be able to meet Cai Changgu. As a last resort, Song Wanning showed her token from the general's mansion, and the servant at the door went in to inform and invite people in.

Song Wanning sat on the chair, and Cai Changgu opposite her was respectful, "Young lady, as the daughter of the general's mansion, you have no worries about food and clothing, and you are rich and powerful. Why do you want to have a share of the tea pie?"

Song Wanning sighed and responded with a smile, "To be honest with you, Boss Cai, which noble family in the capital doesn't have a business or land? My father has just returned. Although we have a lot of money and food at home, we can't just sit there and do nothing. We have to plan for the future. Once this teahouse is settled, I will let my subordinates take care of it, and it won't be my job anymore."

"But everything is difficult at the beginning. It is the family's turn to meet Mr. Cai. Unfortunately, my father and brother have something to do at home and cannot come for the moment. So I will make the trip. I hope Mr. Cai will not let anyone know."

"That's for sure, that's for sure." Cai Changgu responded repeatedly and nodded towards Song Wanning, "But I don't know how much goods Miss Song wants to take?"

"Boss Cai, how much can you give me?" Song Wanning said calmly, "I haven't chosen a location for my teahouse yet. I just plan to buy some tea and start running a teahouse. In case something goes wrong, I want to buy some tea cakes that can be kept for a longer time."

"Miss Song's consideration is reasonable." Cai Changgu said with a smile, "But the annual output of tea cakes is limited, and Songfeng Tower and Bishuitang have reserved some. I'm afraid there won't be much left for Miss Song."

Song Wanning knew the rules of the business world, so she didn't say any more nonsense and said directly, "Boss Cai, I'm new here, so I have to thank you for your care. Please keep as many tea cakes as you can for me. I only want good quality ones. The price of these teas is 10% higher than that of Songfeng Tower and Bishuitang."

As Song Wanning spoke, she took out a banknote from her sleeve and placed it on the table. She looked at Cai Changgu and said, "This hundred taels of banknotes is a deposit for Mr. Cai. I will accept all the tea that Mr. Cai ships this year."

Cai Changgu bowed and smiled at Song Wanning, "Miss Song is really a straightforward person. In this case, Cai will take over this business."

After hearing this, Song Wanning smiled sincerely. Now that the tea source has been acquired, business will only get smoother and smoother in the future.

Song Wanning bid farewell to Cai Changgu, and took Caique and Zhuque to meet other tea merchants. They managed to get the largest share of tea, so it was worth the trip.

When Song Wanning got on the carriage to go home, the sun was already setting and was about to go down the mountain.

Cai Que looked at Song Wan Ning in the carriage, with worry in her eyes, "Miss, our business is getting bigger and bigger now, are you really not going to tell the master and the second master?"

Song Wanning chuckled and comforted Caique, "Now these businesses are still under my control. Don't worry, this is a business that is guaranteed to make money. Just wait until the tea leaves are bought and placed in the farm outside our city. Find someone to keep it dry and ventilated. It will definitely be a fortune next year."

"That's right, young lady." Cai Que responded. She felt relieved to hear Song Wanning's encouragement.

As soon as the master and his two servants arrived at the gate of the Song Mansion and the carriage stopped, Zhuque got off the carriage first, stood at the door of the carriage and stretched out his hand to help Song Wanning.

Song Wanning just lifted the curtain and stuck her head out, and she heard a crisp male voice, "I heard from my uncle that you have always been restless and run around outside all day. Now that I see you, I know that what my uncle said is true."

Song Wanning was surprised and looked up, only to see a man standing at the gate of the Song Mansion, leaning on the door railing with his arms folded, looking at her with a smile.
