Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

Xiao Jingheng frowned, and he understood the meaning of Gu Qingchen's words, which was simply to ruin the reputation of his junior sister. He said coldly:

"Master Gu, since the county lady is as bad as you say, why do you have to keep pestering her to make peace?

What's more, the county lady is the adopted daughter of His Majesty. You openly insulted the reputation of the royal family. What crime should you be punished for?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the princes and nobles immediately echoed them, blaming Gu Qingchen and belittling him to the point of being worthless.

"Gu Qingchen, I saw it with my own eyes. Although the county lady was doing business with foreign merchants, she basically maintained etiquette and propriety. I purchased medicinal materials from the Western Regions in the store under the county lady's name. My mother was originally very ill, but after taking the good medicine, she became full of energy."

"The county lady is one of the most talented women in the capital, and she looks like a fairy from heaven. If the county lady is willing to marry me, I will wake up laughing in my dreams, and I won't care that she is marrying for the second time."

"There are many women in Shangjing who are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the county lady is slightly better and stands out from the crowd of noble ladies. If she were married home, she would definitely be treated like a treasure."

"The county lady is not only a talented woman, but also has a strong business mind. She has almost monopolized all the businesses in Shangjing City. It is only a matter of time before she becomes the richest person in Shangjing City."

"If I am lucky enough to marry this treasure, the county lady, it would be like marrying a mountain of gold. I would be willing to work like a cow or a horse for her for the rest of my life."

"The county lady is like a lotus flower that grows out of mud without getting stained. She can only be admired from afar and not played with. It's a pity that someone didn't know how to cherish her in the past. Do you still want to turn the tables on her now?"

Seeing that the princes and nobles not only did not dislike Song Wanyin, but were quite appreciative of her, Gu Qingchen broke out in cold sweats on his hands and feet.

I didn’t expect that after this divorce, so many competitors would appear. This is the first time I feel a lot of pressure.

Seeing that his evil plan had failed, Song Wanyin didn't want to waste words with him anymore and was about to leave, but he reached out his hand again to stop her:

“Wan Yin, there is a grand fireworks display tonight, and I would like to invite you to watch it together and put this flower crown on you personally.

Let’s go back to the happy times we had before. Do you remember the first time I accompanied you to watch the fireworks?

It was also on that night that we fell in love with each other and made a vow to each other..."

Seeing that he was getting more and more ridiculous, Song Wanyin snatched the flower from his hand and threw it hard on the ground, breaking it into two pieces in an instant:

"Gu Qingchen, these little tricks of yours won't work on me, so you better take care of yourself."

Xiao Jingheng's originally pale complexion flushed slightly, his slender knuckles were pinched and made a crackling sound. He stepped forward to block Gu Qingchen's sight and said with his thin lips slightly opened:

"Master Gu, you are frustrated in love and have developed delusional disorder.

I know a famous doctor who can treat you for free."

The corners of Gu Qingchen's mouth twitched fiercely. He was insulting her indirectly. If she hadn't been cautious, she would have fought with him long ago.

You control everything in the world, but can you still control me asking for peace and chasing my wife?

Seeing that her senior brother helped her escape, Song Wanyin was able to get rid of the big trouble Gu Qingchen and wanted to find a quiet place to take a breath.

Now I can’t bear to see Gu Qingchen’s disgusted face, and even breathing the same air with him makes me feel sick.

Unexpectedly, before he had taken a few steps, he met Su Shi'an, the eldest son of the Chief Censor, who came to show his goodwill.

"County Lady, I have always admired your talent, and I just happened to find a few authentic paintings and calligraphy by famous artists.

However, please forgive me for my poor eyesight and my inability to distinguish the real from the fake. Could you please invite the county lady to have a drink at Zuixianlou tonight and help me to judge?

If it is an authentic painting or calligraphy by a famous artist, I am willing to give it to you as a token of my appreciation.”

When Song Wanyin heard about the authentic calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, her heart was moved. She had loved collecting these authentic works since she was a child.

In the past, I would seek famous paintings and calligraphy through various channels and means, and I was often priced high by others, so I would pay a high price to get them.

When she got married, she had already collected hundreds of authentic paintings and calligraphy by famous artists, all of which became part of her dowry.

It’s a pity that later on, most of the famous calligraphy and paintings were looted by Gu Qingzhi. Fortunately, what is lost will come back after some twists and turns.

Su Shian secretly observed the subtle changes in her expression and dispelled her concerns:

"Don't worry, my lady, I won't dare to overstep the boundaries with you.

Considering the county lady's reputation, she can wear a veil when traveling."

The temptation is too great, and the opportunity will not come again.

Song Wanyin hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded and said:

"Then after the banquet is over, I will go with Master Su and help you identify the authenticity of the famous calligraphy and paintings, and then I will take my leave."

When Su Shian saw that she agreed, his eyes lit up and he bowed to her happily to thank her:

"Thank you, my lady, for your presence. After the banquet is over, I will go ahead and wait for you at Zuixian Tower."

The banquet ended successfully in a lively atmosphere. Seeing that his brother was drunk, Song Wanyin immediately asked two servants to support him and send him to the carriage.

Song Wanfeng's face was flushed from drinking, and his whole body was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. He was still immersed in the joy of drinking:

"Come on, let's drink. We brothers haven't had a good drink for a long time. We won't go home until we are drunk today."

Hua Muxue followed beside him with a worried look on her face, wiping the sweat off his face with a silk handkerchief:

"Oh, how could I drink so much without realizing it? It's really harmful to my health.

When I get back, I'll have to make you a bowl of sobering soup.

Otherwise, you will definitely have a splitting headache tomorrow."

As soon as they walked out of the general's mansion, Song Wanyin grabbed Hua Muxue's sleeve and said after hesitating for a moment:

"Sister-in-law, I want to go out for a while, you guys go back home first."

Hua Muxue's heart and soul were all on her husband, and she said with some worry:

"Sister, please don't come back too late. It's not safe for a girl to walk on the street at night.

How about this, you take the oranges and peaches with you, so you can have someone to look after you."

Song Wanyin wore a veil hat, took oranges and peaches, got on another carriage, and prepared to go to Zuixianlou.

These paintings and calligraphy by famous artists are hard to come by, and if you are lucky enough to get them, it will be worth the trip.

At the same time, Xiao Jingheng also stepped out of the door and looked around for Song Wanyin's figure, and found that the carriage she was riding in was going in the opposite direction of the carriage of the Taiwei Mansion.

It's getting dark. Where is this junior sister going?

He remembered that all the princes and nobles wanted to win Song Wanyin's favor, and were worried that she would be targeted. He decided to protect her in secret. He would only feel at ease when he saw her return home with his own eyes.

"Jing Mo, Huai Xi, turn around immediately and don't go back home yet."

Jing Mo and Huai Xi looked at each other in confusion, then looked at their master in doubt.

"Sir, don't you have to go back to take care of official business?"

"My Lord, it's getting dark. Where are you going?"
