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

Only the mother and son were left in the imperial study, chatting for a long time.

His Majesty told him the truth about the last time Song Wanyin came to the palace to see him:

"Mother, I am preparing to report this matter to you. Do you want to see if you will allow Song Wanyin and Gu Qingchen to divorce?"

The Empress Dowager pursed her majestic lips into a straight line and said slowly:

"My son, you must not forget your roots and must know how to repay your kindness.

If the former Grand Marshal had not sacrificed his life for the country, there would be no peace in the world, and there would be no place for us mother and son to live.

I have always been good at judging people, and I can say that I have watched Wan Yin grow up from childhood.

She possesses extraordinary talents. She is not only smart but also beautiful and talented. She is a rare talented woman.

Especially the picture of immortals celebrating my birthday that she painted for me, which shocked everyone. If she had not been gifted, she would never have been able to paint such a masterpiece.

When Wan Yin was very young, I wanted to marry her to the prince. The more I looked at her, the more I liked her. Perhaps it was because we got along too well.

The royal family indeed owes the Song family too much.

Now that the Song family only has these two siblings left, the royal family still needs to take better care of them."

His Majesty understood the meaning of his mother's words and nodded.

“I, your son, know what to do.

A while ago, I received good news from Song Wanfeng, which was delivered at full speed.

Our army has won a great victory and is on the way back to Beijing.

Song Wanfeng possesses the courage of ten thousand men. When he returns triumphantly, I will personally welcome him and reward him generously. "

The Marquis's Mansion was still immersed in the excitement. Facing the birthday gifts from the distinguished guests, the lady's face was almost broken with laughter.

Jiang Lanyue was very tactful and stepped forward to greet the Madam:

"I wish the Madam good health and a long life."

The lady took Jiang Lanyue's delicate hand and gently stroked her belly:

"Lanyue, my eyes are no longer clear, and I can't tell that you are pregnant now.

But with my palms, I can feel that this little life is responding to me with all its might.

You have worked hard during your pregnancy. The baby in your belly is the blood of the Gu family and the hope of the Gu family.

You and Chen Ge'er will be getting married soon, so just rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. I'll back you up, and see who dares to bully you."

Jiang Lanyue was very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. She held the lady's hand tightly and said with concern:

"Madam, I am always concerned about your eye disease.

I have asked people to search for famous doctors everywhere to see if they can find the right medicine to treat you.

Today is your birthday, and I have prepared a surprise for you, which I will show you later."

The lady said with joy:

"really?

Lanyue, you are such a thoughtful and kind child.

What more could a husband ask for with a wife like this?

Unlike Song Wanyin, who didn’t help to greet the guests on such an important day and no one knew where she had gone.”

At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the door:

"The princess has arrived."

As soon as Princess Zhao Yundi arrived, she couldn't wait to look around, looking for that familiar figure.

When she finally saw the figure in the corridor, she couldn't help but lift up her skirt, and like a light swallow, she flew forward and quietly covered her eyes from behind.

"Ahem, guess who I am?"

When Song Wanyin heard the voice, she immediately laughed:

"Yundi, why are you here?"

Seeing that she had guessed her identity so quickly, Zhao Yundi pouted and said:

"Well, you guessed it right again."

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she quickly pulled Song Wanyin aside and said mysteriously:

“Wan Yin, I came here today mainly to visit you.

I have heard about your situation. Gu Qingchen is really going too far.

As your best friend, I can’t just sit there and do nothing.”

Song Wanyin felt warm in her heart. With such a friend, she had no regrets in this life:

"By the way, didn't the Prince Consort come with you?"

Zhao Yundi shook her head in disappointment:

"The prince consort has been busy with official duties lately and has been missing all day, so I had no choice but to come here alone."

Song Wanyin held her hand and comforted her:

“It’s normal, we should put the overall situation first.

Then you find a place to sit first. I will go and entertain the guests. We can't ridicule them and cause gossip.

In this kind of situation, you have to be able to handle it on the surface."

Zhao Yundi knew that she couldn't cause trouble for her, lest the Gu family come to pick on her again, so she planned to walk around before the banquet started.

From a distance, one could hear a group of gorgeously dressed ladies gathered in a circle, making sarcastic remarks.

One of them was Jiang Lanyue's cousin Xia Meimei, who was pretentiously making up stories out of nothing:

"I tell you, the mistress of a noble family is naturally jealous.

She was jealous of my cousin because she was favored by the Marquis, and deliberately used this incident to suppress my cousin everywhere.

If it weren’t for my cousin who is virtuous, generous, kind-hearted, and tolerant of her without fighting or competing.

With her spoiled and arrogant temper, she might even blow the roof off the Marquis's mansion."

When the other noble ladies heard this, some were skeptical, some were surprised, some were neutral, and some just watched the fun.

"Really? But I heard that it was the Marquis who cheated on his wife first, and the Marquis's mistress was totally unaware of it and was left out in the cold for several years."

"Isn't your cousin pregnant? Getting pregnant before marriage doesn't seem to be a glorious thing."

"From what you said, I never thought that the mistress of the Marquis's family seemed dignified and virtuous, but in fact she was a petty person."

"There is a reason why the mistress of the Marquisate did not accept your cousin. She is probably afraid that your cousin will be too favored and will suppress her in every way and take away her position as the mistress of the house."

"Who would want two women to share one husband? Especially a noble lady like this, who would never allow another woman to climb over her head."

"That's what I mean. What's more, your cousin is already a co-wife. If the position of the mistress of the Marquis's family is threatened, they will definitely not tolerate your cousin."

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. If a woman becomes ruthless, she can be very scary. You better tell your cousin to be careful."

Every word and sentence turned into a sharp blade, as harsh as it could be.

Zhao Yundi couldn't stand it any longer and walked forward, saying with a cold look:

"Have you had enough of these gossips?

Is this the upbringing of you nobles?

In other people's homes, they gossip behind their backs, spread rumors, and sow discord.

This behavior is too shameful.”

Xia Meimei has always been waiting to be married, and it is rare for her to go out with her cousin to broaden her horizons. Seeing this gorgeously dressed person in front of her looking a little unfamiliar, she said arrogantly:

"Who are you?

We can say whatever we like.

You are meddling too much."

Zhao Yundi frowned, with an aloof demeanor like an icy beauty, and said coldly:

"I'll take care of this matter. You must apologize to Wan Yin in person."

Xia Meimei couldn't help but sneered:

“What I said was the truth.

how?

As the mistress of a marquis family, do you dare to do this and not take on the responsibility?"

Seeing that she had hit a wall and was still so arrogant, Zhao Yundi sneered:

"Then do you know who I am?"
