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

Song Wanfeng slowly raised his hands and hugged his long-missed sister tightly, his eyes full of heartache:

"Sister, I'm back. No one will dare to bully you anymore."

Gu Qingchen was frightened out of his wits. He never expected that Song Wanfeng, who had disappeared for three years, would come back without a word.

"You, you, you, are you a human or a ghost?"

Song Wanfeng snorted coldly:

"Why don't you try it and find out?

Which hand did you use to hit my sister just now?"

Just by looking at her, Gu Qingchen shuddered violently and was actually a little scared, not daring to act rashly.

He calmed himself down and confirmed again and again that Song Wanfeng was a real person, then he said sarcastically:

“Song Wanfeng, I never thought you’d survived three years of going to war.

Others had made outstanding military achievements and returned home in glory, and the people of the entire capital came out to welcome them.

Your Majesty will personally welcome the victorious soldiers and give them rewards and titles.

You look all alone, could it be that you have escaped back in disgrace?

Your Song family is full of loyal ministers. His father was the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty and was in charge of the military power of the Nanjing Kingdom.

As the eldest son of the Song family, you abandoned your weapons and became a deserter. If this gets out, it will probably bring shame to your ancestors."

Song Wanyin was about to speak, but was stopped by Song Wanfeng, who chuckled:

“I’ve been away from home for three years, and now that I’m back, I naturally want to come visit my sister.

I originally thought that my sister would be respected and cared for in the Gu family and live a comfortable life.

I never thought that your Gu family would gang up on my sister while I was away.

He even dreamed of divorcing my sister and taking possession of her dowry.

You are so despicable!"

The elders of the Gu family who were present were so humiliated by his words that they could not sit still for a moment and started arguing with him.

Gu Zeqian used to be quite afraid of his identity as the son of the Grand Marshal, but now he is like a phoenix falling from the roost, no better than a chicken.

"Song Wanfeng, considering that our two families are relatives, I don't want to say anything too harsh.

Your sister is the mistress of a marquis's family, but she treats her mother-in-law unrighteously and unfilially, and is disloyal and dishonest to her husband. Recently, she has even refused to serve him.

You guys were from a prominent family, after all. If this gets out, how will others view her?"

Gu Zecheng's face was gloomy, and his hand holding the teacup was shaking slightly with anger.

"According to the laws of our dynasty, if a woman commits one of the seven offenses against a woman, her husband's family has the right to withhold all of her dowry.

The Gu family treated Song Wanyin very kindly, leaving her 20% of the dowry, so she won’t have to worry about food and drink in the future anyway.”

The Second Madam and the Third Madam also sided with Gu Qingchen, supporting him, criticizing Song Wanyin and fanning the flames from time to time, adding fuel to the fire.

Everyone was eagerly looking forward to Song Wanyin packing up and leaving, their minds full of thoughts about the generous dowry.

Song Xingzhou stood up indignantly, defending Song Wanyin and threatening:

“So far, I have been polite to you, but if you really piss me off, I will be angry.

Gu Qingchen, then we will have to meet in the court.

I am a civil servant and you are a military general. The imperial court has always attached more importance to civil servants.

What's more, Your Majesty has always valued me.

I hope you can take care of yourself.”

Madam Song was not to be outdone and said:

"Who said that there is no one to take over the Taiwei Mansion? Our Brother Feng is back now, and he will definitely be able to revitalize the Taiwei Mansion in the future.

Some people are short-sighted and would give up the wealth and glory that is within their reach for a little profit.

It really fits the saying that young people do not know the goodness of their first wife and mistakenly treat their concubines as treasures. "

It took the old lady a long time to recover from her shock. She cried so hard that her eyes were almost blinded. She looked at Song Wanfeng and said:

"My dear, this is the last time I will address you respectfully.

If Song Wanyin hadn't tried to murder me, my eye disease wouldn't have relapsed so seriously.

Ever since she became jealous and could not tolerate Chen Ge'er marrying a concubine, she has been doing bad things secretly, causing unrest in the mansion.

The Gu family can't accommodate a big Buddha like her, so it's better for them to part ways amicably.

Don’t let it go so far that your Song family will lose all face.”

Song Wanfeng was so heartbroken that he bled silently. He never thought that his sister had been treated so harshly in the three years when he was away.

If my parents knew about this, how heartbroken would they be?

"Gu Qingchen, do you still remember the oath you made in front of my parents when you went to the Taiwei Mansion to propose marriage?

He had forgotten about it so quickly and wanted to divorce his wife and marry someone else.

Other people's promises are worth a thousand gold. As a dignified marquis, your promise is too frivolous.

If we had known you were such a person, the Song family would not have listened to the slander and let my sister marry you."

Gu Qingchen's mood was very complicated. He never thought that he and Song Wanyin would become enemies.

After all, it was indeed me who wronged her first, so it was her own fault.

If she had agreed to let him marry a concubine and accept his unborn child,

Perhaps, I can turn a blind eye and continue to live with her.

"Song Wanyin, since I have divorced you, you can take the 20% dowry and leave the Marquis's Mansion.

From now on, we are no longer connected and will never see each other again."

Song Wanyin opened her mouth to speak, but saw Song Wanfeng suddenly laugh out loud and snorted coldly:

"Gu Qingchen, it's not your turn to make the decision on this matter.

When I came here just now, I saw with my own eyes that my sister had already given you a letter of divorce, and you were the one who was divorced.

As for the shortfall in my sister's dowry, you must repay it in full today."

Seeing that the Song family had long lost its power and influence, with only this pair of miserable siblings left to depend on each other, Gu Qingchen said fearlessly:

“Song Wanfeng, with your current status, you are not qualified to issue orders in the Marquis’ Mansion.

I respect you because you were the son of a former military commander, so please don't be so shameless."

But who would have thought that Song Wanfeng's eyes were filled with a sharp cold light, and he said word by word:

"How dare you speak to me in that tone.

You will pay a heavy price for your words and actions."

Gu Qingchen couldn't help but sneer, and said directly:

"Song Wanfeng, don't forget.

I am not only a marquis, but also a general of the Zhen army. What can you compare with me?"

The atmosphere gradually became tense, like a volcano about to erupt, and a strong sense of oppression filled the air.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the door:

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

In an instant, the elders of the Gu family walked out of the main hall and knelt down to receive the emperor's order. The lady ordered the maids to quickly prepare the incense table to receive the emperor's grace.

The Song family also knelt down respectfully, and the entire garden was filled with people kneeling.

Gu Qingchen's eyes lit up, and he thought that this imperial edict was for him.

After all, he had already gone to the palace to meet the emperor a few days ago, hoping to redeem himself by bringing the remnants of the rebels to justice.

He immediately stepped forward and knelt down to receive the order:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

But who would have thought that Eunuch Wang ignored him, passed by him directly, and respectfully greeted Song Wanfeng:

"Sir, you are a new official, and His Majesty wanted to hold a banquet to welcome you personally.

I allowed you to go back home to take a bath and change clothes, but I didn't expect you to come here to visit your own sister.

This brother-sister relationship is truly moving, and even I, the servant, am deeply moved."

When these words came out, Gu Qingchen and the elders of the Gu family were all shocked as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

what?

Song Wanfeng actually inherited his father's career and was appointed as the new Grand Marshal by His Majesty!
