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

Song Wanyin took the four treasures of the study with both hands, and very sensibly took out two ingots of silver from her sleeve and stuffed them into Eunuch Shen's hands:

"Sorry to trouble you, Eunuch Shen. Please tell the Queen Mother that I will go to the palace to paint a mother and child portrait for the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."

After Eunuch Shen left happily, there was an uproar at the scene. Everyone was amazed that Song Wanyin could actually receive the reward from the Empress Dowager and cast envious glances at her.

The elders from the Gu and Jiang families could no longer sit still. Their cheeks felt burning as if they had been slapped in public. They felt like they had thorns on their backs and could not sit still.

Jiang Lanyue bit her lower lip tightly, the silk handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a knot, and she felt mixed emotions.

Unexpectedly, Song Wanyin has such a strong background that even the current empress dowager will come to support her.

In comparison, one would appear like a clown, and even the rare and precious night pearl would be eclipsed.

The lady changed her previous sternness, looked at Song Wanyin with a kind look, and said with a smile:

"Wan Yin, you are worthy of being my good daughter-in-law. I never thought that you were favored by the Empress Dowager and were given such precious four treasures of the study.

Your painting of "Auspicious Picture of Longevity and Happiness" is the most outstanding and colorful birthday gift today.

I like it very much and will frame it and put it in my bedroom to admire day and night."

Song Wanyin directly ordered Tiancheng and Wei Ma to put the painting away, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

“Since my mother-in-law doesn’t like this painting, why should I force myself to accept it?

This is to prevent my mother-in-law from looking at this painting day and night and becoming so anxious that she can’t sleep well.”

The old lady was humiliated in public, the Buddhist beads in her hand were almost crushed, and she was so angry that she almost suffocated.

This was clearly an attempt to go against her and not give her a way out.

Gu Qingchen stepped forward with a dark face and accused:

"Song Wanyin, you really don't know etiquette. How can you take back the birthday gift you gave away?"

Song Wanyin smiled faintly and said in a resounding voice:

“Those who do not understand the soul of a painting are not worthy of owning it, lest they taint this painting of mine.”

This double entendre directly slapped the Gu family and the Jiang family in the face, making them feel ashamed.

Gu Qingchen glared at her angrily, and was speechless for a moment:

"you……"

Zhao Yundi stepped forward impatiently and urged:

"Wanyin, please take a look at these four treasures of the study. You must also paint this masterpiece for me later."

Song Wanyin smiled and nodded, carefully examining the four treasures of the study, and was surprised to find that each of them had a great origin.

They are Xuan brushes, Hui ink, Xuan paper, She inkstone, Tao inkstone and Duan inkstone. They are all of top quality and exude a faint scent of ink.

Her name is specially engraved on each item, as if it was tailor-made for her.

This set is extremely valuable, and only the royal family can afford study treasures of this level.

The faces of the elders in the Gu family were as pale as pig livers, and their mouths looked like they were sewn shut with needle and thread. They couldn't utter a word for a long time.

The Jiang family elders’ faces almost collapsed to the ground, as if they had been hit hard in the chest with a punch, and their hearts were in so much pain that they were bleeding silently.

Zhao Yundi raised her head proudly and said veiledly:

"You all saw it, my grandmother has high standards and broad vision, and the only one who can please her is Wan Yin.

The royal family will protect Wan Yin, so let's see who dares to bully her without the support of her family in the future."

The lady's face turned red and white, as if she had been skinned and pulled out in public, and she was so angry that she had a heart attack.

"Ouch, ouch."

Upon seeing this, Nanny Gui hurriedly took out the musk heart-protecting pill she had prepared and stuffed it under the root of the lady's tongue.

"Madam, take a deep breath, relax, and don't get excited."

Jiang Lanyue's heart was filled with hatred. She never expected that Song Wanyin would receive the protection of the Empress Dowager. She felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.

It seems that we have to put the plan on the agenda as soon as possible and remove this thorn in our side as soon as possible.

Gu Qingchen was so humiliated that he wanted to kill Song Wanyin with his eyes.

I originally wanted to give her a letter of divorce and end all ties with her.

Unexpectedly, although she had no support from her natal family, she still had the protection of the Empress Dowager.

It seems that I have to find a way to find something to hold against her to avoid being blamed by the royal family and having something to blame myself.

The distinguished guests present were still immersed in the wonder of the extraordinary painting and were praising Song Wanyin.

On the other hand, what the Marquis's Mansion did was truly disheartening, and one couldn't help but have certain opinions and prejudices against Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen wanted to save the situation in time, so he stepped out to entertain the guests and shouted:

“Let’s have dinner!

Dear guests, please enjoy your meal and drink the fine wine. Don’t leave until you are drunk!”

With the sound of a gong, the birthday banquet officially began.

The sound of stringed instruments was heard everywhere, and the musicians in the mansion played joyous music.

A group of dancers dressed in colorful dresses danced gracefully like butterflies, with smooth movements and graceful dance moves, adding a touch of color to the birthday party.

The distinguished guests had no interest in appreciating the delicious food and wine on the table, and they had no appetite at all. They just whispered to each other.

The lady took a long while to recover from the effects of the drug. She raised her glass with a forced smile:

"My future father-in-law and mother-in-law, I am sorry to have embarrassed you.

Wan Yin has been spoiled since she was young. It's also my fault that I'm too soft-hearted. As a mother-in-law, I didn't discipline her strictly.

But please rest assured, as long as I am still alive, I will never let Lan Yue down.

When Lan Yue gives birth to a child for the Gu family in the future, the mother will be honored by the child, and the title and property of the Marquisate will all belong to this child in the future."

The old man drank three cups of wine without saying a word. He was resentful but had no place to vent it, and he didn't want to make the situation too embarrassing.

I can only numb myself by drinking continuously.

Madam Jiang Tai frowned and said with a hint of veil:

"Old sister, no matter what, the Jiang family and the Gu family have been friends for generations, and we have watched the Marquis grow up since we were young.

I originally thought that the Marquis's first wife was a good daughter-in-law who was well-educated, filial to her mother-in-law, assisted her husband, and took care of household affairs.

It seems that she really lacks etiquette and morals. I'm afraid that when Lan Yue marries into your family in the future, she will inevitably suffer grievances.

With the intolerant temper of the Marquis's mistress, she would definitely not tolerate Lan Yue and her son."

The lady understood this truth very well. The most important thing at the moment was the bloodline of the Gu family.

Once Gu Qingchen has a child, he will have given an explanation to the Gu family.

Only with continuation and inheritance can the Marquis' Mansion prosper for a long time. In the future, this child will inherit Gu Qingchen's mantle and serve the court.

The future of the Gu family is just around the corner. By then, they will bring honor to the family and no longer have to look at anyone's face.

Song Wanyin and Zhao Yundi walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing as they sent her back to her seat:

"Yundi, have your meal first, I'll come find you later."

Zhao Yundi nodded and said with great satisfaction:

"Did you see the faces of the Gu and Jiang families just now?

It's even uglier than eating shit. It feels so good. It feels so good. "

As soon as Song Wanyin left, Gu Qingchen pulled her arm and took her to the side.

"Gu Qingchen, please respect yourself."

Gu Qingchen then let go of her with disgust on his face, pointed at her nose, and asked:

"Song Wanyin, is this all a conspiracy planned by you?

You clearly want to take advantage of this opportunity to embarrass the Gu family and deliberately want to cause bad luck to me."
