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

Nan Hongqiu finished speaking and looked at Pei Xuanzhi eagerly. Even Song Wanshi, who was sitting next to Nan Hongqiu, couldn't help but secretly look up to see Pei Xuanzhi's reaction.

Pei Xuanzhi raised his head and looked at Nan Hongqiu with a fake smile, "Aunt, I remember when I was a kid I said I wanted to marry Sister Wan Ning, didn't I?"

When Pei Xuanzhi said this, Nan Hongqiu froze in place for a moment, and awkwardly found a way out for herself, "Really? Maybe it's been so long that everyone has forgotten... Maybe you also said you wanted to marry Shi Ge'er when you were young, but you were too young at that time and forgot."

After hearing what Nan Hongqiu said, He Xuanxi raised his head again and smiled with his big white teeth, "Aunt, I remember it very clearly. When I was a child, I said that I would only marry Sister Wan Ning. I never said that I would marry anyone else."

Nan Hongqiu didn't expect Pei Xuanzhi to be so disrespectful to her, so she just laughed it off and said, "Nazi'er has a good memory."

Song Wanshi's face darkened. Song Lan, who was sitting next to Pei Xuanzhi, was always a frivolous person. He lowered his head and buried his face, laughing very softly.

Pei Xuanzhi saw this, his expression didn't change, but he secretly put his hand down and punched Song Lan in the stomach.

While the two were arguing, the old lady sitting upstairs coughed twice in displeasure, her eyes fell on Song Wanning who was eating quietly, "Sister Ning has been married once, and she is really not worthy of a man like Zhi Ge'er. She is now only worthy of marrying a man from an ordinary family. Which of the nobles in the capital would look down on her?"

After the old lady said this, the atmosphere became cold for a moment.

Song Jing was the first to be unhappy. He was a man who doted on his daughter. Seeing that Song Wanning was looked down upon, he immediately turned his face away. However, he could not get angry because the old lady was sitting above him and was an elder.

Now Song Jing values ​​Pei Xuanzhi and wants to marry his daughter to Pei Xuanzhi. How can he swallow this humiliation when he hears the old lady say this?

Seeing that he couldn't get angry, Song Jing placed his hope on Song Lan. Song Jing raised his eyes and glared at his heartless son who was sitting opposite him.

Song Lan received Song Jing's gaze and immediately understood what he meant. He smiled and looked at the old lady above and said, "Grandma, now the capital city emphasizes that unmarried men and women should meet each other. If they like each other, they can get married. If they don't like each other, it's useless even if a princess comes and doesn't nod. Who cares about that nowadays? My sister is also the daughter of our general's mansion, and she is still unmarried. How can she not be a match?"

The old lady was choked and glanced at Song Lan unhappily, then turned her gaze to Pei Xuanzhi, "Brother Zhi hasn't said anything yet, why are you butting in?"

Song Lan curled his lips and stopped talking.

Pei Xuanzhi raised his head, his smile not reaching his eyes, he just said lightly, "Grandfather, I think what Brother Lan said is right, why bother with that nowadays? Since she is divorced, she is no different from other girls in the mansion, so how can we talk about whether she is a good match or not? Besides, Sister Wan Ning is pretty, I am afraid that all the gentlemen in the capital are vying to marry her."

The old lady felt embarrassed when she saw that there were so many people at the table but no one was helping her. She snorted and lowered her head without saying anything.

Song Jing was happy to hear Pei Xuanzhi say this, and it showed on his face immediately. He picked up the wine glass on the table and said to Pei Xuanzhi, "Brother Zhi is an upright person. Come, uncle will toast you a glass."

Seeing this, Pei Xuanzhi also raised his glass to clink with Song Jing and drank it all in one gulp.

Master Pei had just returned to the capital, and Song Jing spoke a few more words to him. They toasted and chatted happily at the dinner table.

Seeing that it was getting late, Song Wanning stood up and prepared to leave. As soon as she left the hall, she saw Pei Xuanzhi chasing after her, "Sister Wanning."

Pei Xuanzhi walked up to Song Wanning and said to her, "Sister Wanning, can you walk with me?"

Pei Xuanzhi drank quite a bit of wine, and now his face was flushed. He scratched his head, looking at a loss, but his eyes were bright.

Song Wanning nodded slightly, "Then I'll walk with you to sober you up."

Pei Xuanzhi walked beside Song Wanning in small steps, looked at her and said, "Sister Wanning, what I said at the table just now was all from the heart."

Song Wanning gently stroked her messy hair and looked at Pei Xuan, "What?"

"I heard about sister Wan Ning's experience before I returned to Beijing. Now you are lucky to be able to escape from that tiger's den. Sister, don't take other people's contemptuous words to heart." Pei Xuanzhi has always been a proud and arrogant person. Now he is probably drunk and dares to say these things. "Sister Wan Ning is beautiful, has a good temper, and a good family background. You will definitely find someone who is truly good to you in the future."

"Pfft." Song Wanning was amused by Pei Xuanzhi's words. She stood in the moonlight, the cold light shining on her smiling face, making people feel moved. "I know, little drunkard, go back and rest quickly, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Pei Xuanzhi's face was even redder now, and he blinked and said, "Okay, I understand. I'm going back. I'm going back to the yard to rest..."

Meanwhile, at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yin Yichen heard from his men about Song Wanning. "The Prime Minister guessed correctly. The Shangshu Mansion really stopped talking about marriage with the General's Mansion, and most of the other unmarried men from the officials' families in the capital also don't dare to have any idea of ​​marrying into the General's Mansion."

Yin Yichen's eyebrows were relaxed, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood. He asked in a low voice, "Then, what has Song Wanning been doing these days?"

"Miss Ning met with all the tea merchants in the capital yesterday, and it seemed that they were discussing business."

Yin Yichen closed the book and placed it lightly on the table. "Well, it turns out that without these marriage matters bothering her, she can honestly make money for this Prime Minister."

Wei Fu saw that his master was in a good mood, and he stood there hesitating, his face uncertain, "There is something I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Yin Yichen had already picked up another book and was reading it. He only looked up at Wei Fu and said calmly, "Talk."

"The Song Mansion has an old friend, the Pei family. The Pei family recently returned to the capital and is staying at the Song Mansion." Wei Fu really couldn't bear to look at Yin Yichen's face, so he just kept his head down and said, "The Pei family has a young man who is only eighteen years old and has not yet married. He is a famously handsome man, and he and Miss Ning are childhood sweethearts. Now the two of them are living in the same mansion. I heard that General Song is interested in bringing them together..."

The notebook in Yin Yichen's hand fell onto the table with a thud.

Wei Fu only heard Yin Yichen's extremely cold voice, "Got it."
