Doting on Concubines and Ruining the Wife? The Marquis' Main Wife Remarries a Powerful Official

At fourteen, Song Wanning married into the Marquis's estate and became the main wife. However, her husband was a hypocrite, a self-proclaimed upright scholar who was determined to elevate his c...

Chapter 120 Vicious

Mrs. Wang was panicked when she saw her son faint in the hall. She only warned Mrs. Xu beside her, "Send Bai'er back quickly and ask the imperial physician to see him. Bai'er is in poor health to begin with. Don't let anything go wrong."

Madam Xu responded by having someone help Wen Tingbai up and said to Madam Wang, "Don't worry, Madam. I'll have the doctor take a good look at the Second Master right away."

Mrs. Wang was about to leave as she spoke, "Let's go home, let's go home. There's no point in asking for justice. Let's go home and get a doctor."

Nan Hongqiu saw at a glance that the mother and son were trying to escape. Quickly blocking Madam Wang's way, she whispered to her, "Madam, you and I are now in-laws. Although there were some misunderstandings before, Sister Shi and Mr. Bai are now married. Sister Shi is now your family's legitimate daughter-in-law. How can you let a daughter-in-law sleep at her parents' house on her wedding night? If that gets out, wouldn't everyone laugh at her? How about this, Madam, go back and take Sister Shi with you so they can rest well."

Mrs. Wang was now seeing stars. She waved her hand at Nan Hongqiu and said, "Madam, it's true that I don't want to take her back, but if I take Sister Shi back now, wouldn't that be the end of my son's life? Look, my son has fainted from being frightened by your ugly daughter."

"How can a married couple faint at the sight of something? What kind of talk would that be if it got out?" Nan Hongqiu was now unforgiving. She glanced at Wen Tingbai who was being carried out and said bluntly, "Second Master Bai will have to spend a lot of time with my sister Shi'er in the future. My mother-in-law should take Sister Shi back with her as soon as possible. No matter what, Sister Shi is now the legitimate daughter of the second branch of my general's mansion. I still hope that Madam Wang will treat her well."

Nan Hongqiu continued, "Besides, the only people who know about Sister Shi'er's situation are your two families and mine. As long as we keep the servants quiet and prevent them from leaking the news, how will outsiders know about this? Sister Shi'er is still a good daughter-in-law to my mother-in-law. We should continue to interact with each other as usual, right?"

Seeing that Nan Hongqiu was now stubbornly refusing to give up, Madam Wang knew that even if she advocated for a divorce, it would be a failure. She could only bite the bullet and agree, "Madam, you are right. However, for now, Sister Shi should stay in the General's Mansion for a few days to recuperate. I will come and take my daughter-in-law back when my son recovers."

"Mother-in-law, please keep your word. Don't try to trick me now and then turn against me." Nan Hongqiu's eyes were so cold that Mrs. Wang felt cold all over.

Madam Wang laughed dryly. "How could that be? Three days, I will definitely come to pick up Sister Shi in three days. If I don't come, just knock on the door. I will naturally give her an explanation."

Nan Hongqiu only dared to let them go after Madam Wang agreed. The Zhongping Marquis's men returned to the mansion in such a grand manner, leaving Nan Hongqiu and her family to watch Song Wanshi helplessly.

Song Zhan now looked at Song Wanshi and clapped his hands helplessly, "What on earth is going on? How did such a beautiful girl become like this?"

Nan Hongqiu was also very anxious when she saw Song Wanshi like this. "Hurry up and call the best doctor in the capital to check on my daughter. I wonder if this strange disease can be cured."

"It's no use, mother. It's no use." Song Wanshi now shed tears of despair and clutched Nan Hongqiu's arm. "Mother, I've been poisoned by Ju Rongfang. There's no way to cure Ju Rongfang's poison. I'm afraid there's no way to save me."

"How could this happen? Who poisoned her? Who did it?" Nan Hongqiu was now a little crazy. "Who harmed my good daughter like this?"

"It was Song Wanning, it was Song Wanning who did this." Song Wanshi sat on a chair, accusing with tears streaming down her face, "Mother, it was Song Wanning who did this. Mother must stand up for me and avenge me."

"Song Wanning? It's Song Wanning again." Nan Hongqiu clenched her sleeves, wishing she could run to Song Wanning's yard and cut her into pieces.

Song Zhan, who was standing nearby, noticed something was amiss. He stared at Song Wanshi's face and asked, "How do you know it was Song Wanning who poisoned you? And how do you know it was Du Rongfang who poisoned you? This kind of poison is extremely rare, and it's not something a teenage girl like you could come up with."

Song Wanshi's eyes were now glancing around, not daring to tell Song Zhan the truth. She only kept trying to make excuses for herself, "It was Song Wanning who poisoned her. It was Song Wanning. She couldn't bear to see her daughter live a good life, so she wanted to take revenge on her daughter. A mother must stand up for her daughter."

Seeing Song Wanshi like this, Song Zhan knew that this situation was probably caused by Song Wanshi herself. He was at a loss as to what to do with the mother and daughter. "I told you not to find fault with Song Wanning a long time ago, but you two never listened. You insist on killing our entire family before you're satisfied?"

After hearing this, Song Wanshi cried even harder. Nan Hongqiu, who was beside Song Wanshi, couldn't stand it anymore and retorted, "Master only cares about his own future every day and doesn't care about my daughter's marriage at all. What's wrong with us, mother and daughter, planning our future together? It's fine if Master doesn't help, but now he actually says this to my daughter."

"I can't take care of you two now. You can fight whoever you want. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for the divorce." After Song Zhan said these harsh words, he turned around and went back to his own yard.

Nan Hongqiu's eyes were red now, and she looked at Song Wanshi with hatred, "Sister Shi, Song Wanning is responsible for your current fate. I will never let her have it easy. Mother will help you get back what you owe her bit by bit."

Now, in the general's mansion, the first and second houses seemed to be still one family, but in fact, they had already separated. When such a big event happened in the mansion, no one from the first house came to watch.

However, Zhuque, who was under Song Wanning's command, couldn't hold back. He secretly took a look at what was happening in the hall and then hurried back to tell Song Wanning.

Song Wanning listened to Zhuque's whispers, "Miss, I don't know what poison Song Wanshi was poisoned with. She's been disfigured. Even her skin doesn't look like a young girl anymore. She was sent back to the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion, and Master Bai fainted in the front hall out of fright. The whole place is in chaos."

Song Wanning was a little surprised after hearing what Zhuque said, "How could it become like this?"

Cai Que, who was sitting next to Song Wanning, also spoke up, "Miss, how could Miss Shi, who is only in her teens, age so quickly? I'm afraid there's something else going on."

Song Wanning nodded and slowly expressed her thoughts, "She looks like she's been poisoned."
