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

For a moment, the main hall was completely silent. Everyone looked uglier than if they had eaten shit. The cold air rushed down all around, as if they were in an ice cellar.

The lady knew very well that over the years, the Marquis's Mansion had relied on Song Wanyin's financial support to live a life of luxury.

Just based on Gu Qingchen's annual salary, it was not enough for him to squander.

The Gu family really cannot do without Song Wanyin. Once she really cuts off the Gu family's financial resources and takes back all the houses, fields, estates, shops, and slaves.

The Gu family was on the verge of collapse, and all the hundreds of people in the mansion were left to starve.

The lady changed her attitude and recovered suddenly. She gave in in public and said:

"Wan Yin, I know you are unwilling to give up.

We women, especially concubines in the deep palace, all share this fate.

You must not cause irreversible consequences due to a momentary impulse.

A woman's reputation is more important than her life.

If you really divorce Chen'er, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of your Taiwei Mansion.

If your father knew about this, how sad he would be?"

Song Wanyin chuckled:

"Mother-in-law, what if my father found out that your Gu family was not trustworthy and went back on their word?

You tricked me into marrying into the Gu family just to clean up your mess.

Now, I have to help Gu Qingchen marry another woman, and that woman is on an equal footing with me.

Do you think my father will be sad for me or angry with your Gu family?"

The lady was shocked for a moment, and she appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him:

"Wan Yin, after all, this marriage was granted by His Majesty himself, and the Jiang family has also confirmed it.

To put it bluntly, things are set in stone and cannot be changed.

You can only try to accept it, and don't say such hurtful words again.

As long as I am still alive, I will never let you suffer any injustice among them."

Song Wanyin said calmly:

"According to my mother-in-law, I am the third person between them?

Our Song family is full of loyal ministers, and I am the eldest daughter. How could I interfere in this relationship between childhood sweethearts?

So I chose to withdraw and help Gu Qingchen and Jiang Lanyue."

Jiang Lanyue's bright eyes rolled around when she heard that. If she could really withdraw on her own initiative, she would have a chance to take the position.

"Sister, if it's because of me that you and the Gu family become enemies, it will cause unrest in the mansion.

Then I would rather break off the engagement, live with my baby in a place where no one will disturb me, and live out the rest of my life in peace and quiet.

In this life, I will let Brother Qingchen down for his heavy feelings. "

Song Wanyin's eyes were cold and he sneered:

"Jiang Lanyue, this is our family affair, do you have the right to butt in on it?

If you want to leave, go ahead. Don't pretend to be nice here. Adding fuel to the fire will only get you burned."

Jiang Lanyue was frustrated, and all her grievances were poured out, sobbing softly:

"Well, since you can't tolerate me and think this is your family affair, then I, an outsider, will leave.

As for this marriage, I, Jiang Lanyue, am not blessed enough to enjoy it. I can only continue my relationship with Brother Qingchen in my next life."

After saying that, he looked at Gu Qingchen reluctantly, covered his face, turned around and ran away.

When Gu Qingchen heard that she wanted to break off the engagement, he immediately became anxious, stepped forward, held her delicate hand, and tried to persuade her to stay:

"Lanyue, in the final analysis, you are the victim.

Why do you have to bow to her so humbly?

If I can't even protect you and the child, then am I still a man?"

Tiancheng couldn't help but sneer, which made half of her face hurt. She covered the corners of her mouth and tried hard to hold back her laughter.

This was the funniest joke she had ever heard.

I didn’t expect that Gu Qingchen is quite self-aware. He is indeed not a man and has no sense of responsibility.

Gu Qingchen turned back abruptly, stared at her fiercely, and shouted angrily:

"What are you laughing at? Believe it or not, I'll cut off your tongue!"

At this moment, he truly felt insulted that he was being laughed at by a maid.

Tiancheng hid behind Song Wanyin in fear, closed her mouth tightly, and lowered her head, not daring to look him in the face.

She was not actually afraid of Gu Qingchen, but she did not want to cause trouble for her master.

After all, the master's injuries have not healed yet, and his mood cannot fluctuate too much, so as not to cause a root of illness.

Song Wanyin just raised her eyes, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes, which scared Gu Qingchen so much that he didn't dare to say another word, but just glared at him fiercely.

Gu Qingchen was very annoyed. How could he be easily controlled by a weak woman like her?

Seeing that they were not about to cry until they saw the coffin, Song Wanyin asked Tiancheng to go down and call the owner of the manor.

The owner of the manor came to the main hall trembling with fear, knelt down with a plop, and prostrated himself on the ground trembling, not daring to look directly at the seat of honor.

"Xiaoxiaoxiao, I pay my respects to Madam, Lord Marquis, and Madam."

When Gu Qingchen saw him, he was shocked, his face changed suddenly, and his fists clenched until they made crackling sounds.

"Why did this woman bring him here? What on earth is she trying to do?"

The lady asked in confusion:

"Wan Yin, what are you doing?"

Song Wanyin lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them, and slightly opened her red lips:

“Master Wang, there is a small courtyard with beautiful scenery in Haitang Villa.

A few years ago, did the Marquis personally go and buy it?"

Manor Master Wang was so frightened that he was shaking like a sieve. Under the threat of Master Biao, he had no choice but to tell the truth:

“Yes, yes, three years ago, the Marquis came to Haitang Villa for an on-site inspection.

He chose a Feng Shui treasured site and bought the small courtyard.

Later, I received a lot of benefits from the Marquis, and he asked me to help look after Miss Jiang.

The Marquis and Miss Jiang go in and out together all day long, inseparable, just like a loving couple.

The Marquis also warned me not to spread this matter to anyone, otherwise I would be killed."

Having said that, he tremblingly presented the list of bribes he had received over the years and the contracts for houses and land.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the source of these silver coins came from Song Wanyin's dowry, and it is clearly recorded in black and white in the account book.

Song Wanyin looked at the old lady and the couple calmly. With the confession of Manor Master Wang, they would not be able to refute it.

Gu Qingchen was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he couldn't get angry anymore. He felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.

Jiang Lanyue did not feel panicked or frightened. Instead, there was a smile in her eyes that showed a declaration of sovereignty.

"Song Wanyin, I have already given you face, but I didn't expect you to make yourself unhappy."

Seeing that Song Wanyin was determined to be so ruthless, the lady immediately cried out:

"Oh my God, isn't this forcing me to die?"

Gu Qingzhi immediately rubbed her back to calm her down and advised:

"Mother, you must not get angry. Be careful that your old illness will come back."

The lady cried for a long time. If it were in the past, Song Wanyin would have admitted her mistake long ago, but this time she just watched coldly.

"Wan Yin, Brother Chen was just confused for a moment, is there any man in this world who doesn't cheat?

Although he shouldn't have kept a mistress outside without telling you, he was desperate to try any possible means in order to continue the Gu family's bloodline.

Can you please consider the relationship between husband and wife and stop fighting with him and forgive him?

If you still feel unsatisfied, I will kneel down for you."

After saying this, seeing that Song Wanyin remained indifferent, he hesitated for a moment, then knelt down tremblingly.

After he knelt down, everyone in the room, except Song Wanyin and Tiancheng, knelt down out of fear.

After all, the Gu family is still headed by the Madam Dowager, and they don’t want to bring trouble upon themselves.

Song Wanyin had already seen through her tricks and sneered:

"Mother-in-law, you don't have to cover for him anymore.

In fact, you and I both have a clear account in our hearts. Falling out with each other will only make the Gu family more embarrassed.

I want to take back the small courtyard in Haitang Villa.

Gu Qingchen must hand over the house deed and land deed, and compensate me for my losses.

As for the belongings of the strangers in the house, they were all burned to ashes."
