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

In Qingzhu Garden, the wintersweet tree in front of the window stands proudly in the frost and snow. The wintersweet flowers are in bloom, with elegant pink petals, and a faint fragrance fills the air.

Song Wanyin hasn't written any poems or painted for a long time. Before she got married, she was one of the most talented women in the capital.

Once upon a time, a nobleman offered a high price to buy one of her classic paintings.

In order to help the refugees, she sold all her paintings, and used the money she earned to build a tent to provide porridge, thus earning a good reputation for the Taiwei Mansion.

When he was sixteen, he happened to catch up with the grand birthday banquet held in the palace to celebrate the Empress Dowager.

She was invited to attend the event along with her father, and her painting of an immortal celebrating a birthday stood out among many other gifts, which caught the Empress Dowager's attention and she happily praised her in public.

The Empress Dowager also gave her the golden phoenix hairpin that she had worn for decades, which was enough to show her love for her.

This was the highest honor and became a good story in the palace.

Since she got married, she has been busy managing the household and accounting, taking care of her mother-in-law, and cleaning up the mess made by the three useless brothers and sisters of the Gu family. She has not written for three years.

Now that she picked up the pen again, a familiar yet strange feeling arose spontaneously.

The tip of the pen is dipped in rich ink, and ink is splashed on the white paper. The strokes are vigorous and powerful, and the movements are smooth and effortless.

The smooth lines soon outlined a majestic contour and were about to give it life.

Her paintings give people a strong sense of vitality, as if all things in the world come alive under her pen.

Tiancheng pushed the door open carrying a steaming bowl of plum blossom pastries. When he saw her painting with such passion, his eyes instantly became moist.

"Miss, you haven't painted for a long time. This scene reminds me of the happy times I had in the Taiwei Mansion."

Song Wanyin wrote with ease and sighed softly:

"Yes, time flies by, and everything has changed."

At this moment, there was a pushing sound outside the door.

"Madam Gui, please respect yourself.

My daughter has been feeling unwell lately and has been staying at home and not seeing anyone."

"Oh, Madam Wei, you are so majestic.

The Madam ordered me to come and ask Madam to go over and pay respects to the elders of the Gu family.

If you dare to stop me again, be careful that I will report you to the Madam. "

"Madam Gui, you and I are both servants, how are you nobler than me?

I wonder, is there any daughter-in-law in this world who gets injured while saving her mother-in-law?

Her husband's family didn't care about her and instead let her drag her sick body around to be ordered around?

Aren't you afraid that outsiders will poke holes in the Marquis's house and say that the Gu family is too inhumane?"

"Madam Wei, you, you, please stop taking advantage of your age in front of me.

The lady-in-waiting and the two elders of the Gu family have been waiting in the main hall for a long time. If the lady doesn't go over to pay their respects,

It is not reasonable. You, the daughter of the Grand Commandant's Mansion, cannot bear the stigma of being disrespectful and unfilial, right?"

"Hahahaha, this is such a huge joke.

Do you think I don't know that you are just coming up with endless ways to seize my girl's dowry?

God is watching what you do, the Gu family should do more good deeds and not go too far."

"You are such a good girl, Madam Wei! How dare you speak ill of the master behind her back? Believe it or not, I will slap you on behalf of the Madam!"

"You dare? It's not your turn to act arrogantly in front of me, an old rascal.

My master is the daughter of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, not your Gu family, so you are not qualified to teach me!"

Song Wanyin heard the fierce quarrel outside, so she told Tiancheng a few words and asked her to reply to Aunt Gui.

When Tiancheng went out, she saw Nanny Gui was about to attack Nanny Wei. Without saying a word, she rushed forward and almost knocked her down.

Aunt Gui stumbled back a few steps and sat down on the ground, grimacing in pain and cursing:

"Ouch, you damn girl, how dare you bump into me? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death!"

Sweet Orange said without changing his expression:

"Madam Gui, my daughter is not feeling well and has gone to bed. Please go back and tell the Madam.

Tomorrow, my daughter will go and apologize."

Nanny Gui refused to believe such nonsense. She covered her buttocks and climbed up, shouting towards the bedroom:

“Madam, the Madam asks you to go over and pay your respects to the elders of the Gu family.

Madam, madam, did you hear that?"

Seeing that she was getting even more aggressive, Nanny Wei picked up the broom at the door and hit her with it.

"I told you to get out, and if you don't get out, I'll beat you to death!"

Seeing that the master and servant dared to offend, Aunt Gui glared at them fiercely:

"Okay, okay, just wait for me!"

Although Tian Cheng was relieved, she was still worried about her master. She entered the house and stammered:

"Miss, if we just drive Aunt Gui away like this, what if the Madam and the two elders of the Gu family blame us?"

Song Wanyin continued writing calmly and said:

"It doesn't matter. Not only will they not dare to cause me trouble, they will also come to me for help."

In the main hall, after listening to Nanny Gui's exaggerated report, the Madam was so angry that her whole body was shaking, her face was ashen, and she said:

"She, she, she, she doesn't even listen to me as her mother-in-law?

The Taiwei Mansion was once a noble family and a popular figure in front of His Majesty, but they actually raised such a legitimate daughter.

She is unrighteous and unfilial, arrogant and jealous, and has no respect for elders. Each of these is enough for Chen Ge'er to divorce her.

If I hadn't taken into consideration that she was alone and helpless, I would have tolerated her again and again.

Now she is getting worse and worse, and she really wants to piss me off to death."

Third Master Gu Zeqian has always had a bad temper. He stood up for his sister-in-law and said:

"This Song Wanyin used to be very gentle and virtuous, but now she has become arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone.

She actually openly disobeyed her mother-in-law's orders. That's really outrageous!

Sister-in-law, don't worry.

Big brother passed away early, we will definitely stand up for you."

Second Master Gu Zecheng has always been steady and calm, and suggested:

“Sister-in-law, since Song Wanyin doesn’t want to be in charge, why don’t you just let her hand over the power of the household.

You immediately took over the houses, estates, fields, and shops.

Only when you hold the money in your own hands can you feel at ease.

Of course, I know you are not good at business, I can help you share some of the burden and check it out."

The lady said with a sad face:

"Second brother, third brother, you don't know that there are not many properties left in the name of the Marquis's Mansion.

Most of it is Song Wanyin's dowry, so what I said doesn't count."

Gu Zeqian came up with a plan and said quickly:

"Sister-in-law, the dowry issue is easy to handle.

All you have to do is let Chen Ge'er divorce Song Wanyin, and then accuse her of some false charges, and then you can naturally seize her dowry.

By then, all these properties will belong to the Marquis' Mansion, and Song Wanyin won't be able to take a penny with her."

When the old lady mentioned this matter, she burst into tears and said:

“It’s not like I haven’t thought about this, but right now, Brother Chen’s career path still requires the support and assistance of the general’s former subordinates.

My eye disease has relapsed, my vision is blurry, and I can’t do anything.

My two daughters are about to get married, leaving me with only my useless second son.

To be honest, looking at the entire Gu family, no one except Song Wanyin can hold up the sky. "

She is old, but her heart is as clear as a mirror.

Gu Zecheng said thoughtfully:

"Sister-in-law, Miss Jiang is going to marry into the Gu family soon, so wouldn't it be nice if she could be the head of the family?

Miss Jiang is a newbie, so I can ask my wife to personally teach her how to manage the household and keep accounts.

Song Wanyin simply ignored her and let her fend for herself.

Anyway, the Gu family can’t count on her anymore.”
