With the help of two maids, Song Wanning changed into the wedding dress sent by Yin Yichen.

Song Wanning had worn a wedding dress before, but back then, she was living in the general's mansion, without her father or brother, so Nan Hongqiu arranged everything for her. To maintain her dignity, Nan Hongqiu had an embroiderer make her one. While it was a proper wedding dress for a woman from an official family, it was far less beautiful than the one she wore now.

The wedding dress that Yin Yichen had sent over was made of the finest brocade, with a gold-painted mandarin duck pattern. The flowing cloud-like gauze embroidered phoenix belt was wrapped around her slender waist, making her look like a fairy from a painting.

The two maids beside Song Wanning exclaimed in amazement when they saw her in her wedding gown, "Miss, you are absolutely stunning in this dress. There is probably no bride in the world more beautiful than you."

Song Wanning smiled slightly and looked at the two maids and said, "This wedding dress fits perfectly. Go tell the servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion that there's no need to alter it."

Suzaku responded and ran out the door with a smile on his face.

Song Wanning walked out of the door in her wedding dress, looked at Song Lan in the yard and said, "Brother, look, this wedding dress fits me perfectly. It's obvious that the Prime Minister put a lot of effort into it. He didn't just pick some random dress to fool me."

Seeing his sister so beautiful, Song Lan felt proud, but he was still unforgiving and just curled his lips slightly, "This is what he should do. Otherwise, our family would not be willing to marry you to him."

Song Wanning naturally knew Song Lan's personality, so she didn't argue with him and just waited.

Song Wanning was not in a hurry at all. Now everything was ready and she was just waiting for the day when the ceremony would be held.

On the day of Song Wanning's wedding, all the nobles in the capital came. Although the officials were as frightened as a cat seeing a mouse when they saw Yin Yichen, they still wanted to curry favor with this powerful official. Although Yin Yichen was not easy to please, his new wife still had a chance.

There were quite a few people watching the ceremony, but there were also a few families whose members did not come.

Madam Wang from the Marquis Zhongping's Mansion ordered that no one was allowed to attend the ceremony. The entire second house now had nothing to do with the General's Mansion to avoid suspicion. However, Fei Biyun from the first house still had some dealings with the General's Mansion, so she was naturally willing to go.

Now, since Song Wanshi learned about Song Wanning's marriage, she has been extremely angry in Wen Tingbai's Lan Courtyard.

Although she is now Wen Tingbo's second wife, she is already upset about this. Her relationship with Wen Tingbo is as stiff as hail. The two of them start cursing each other as soon as they meet.

Wen Tingbai never even came into her courtyard to take a look. If it weren't for Song Wanning, how could she live like this now? Thinking of this, Song Wanshi angrily pounded her fist on the table and said coldly, "Song Wanning actually married the Prime Minister like this. How can I swallow this anger?"

Song Wanshi's personal maids, Mudan and Shaoyao, accompanied her all the way to the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion as a dowry. They witnessed how she changed from a noble and beautiful legitimate daughter to the despised person she is today.

Shaoyao saw that Song Wanshi was in a state of uncertainty, so she finally spoke up to persuade her, "Grandma, now that Song Wanning's marriage to the Prime Minister is a foregone conclusion, I'm afraid it's useless to say anything now. It would be better for you to live your life well. Now Mr. Bai rests in his concubine's room every day and has never come to your yard."

"What's the point of calling him here? He can't carry on their family line." Song Wanshi sneered, but still looked at Mudan and said, "Second Master Bai hasn't been seen for a day. Where has he gone now?"

Mudan shook her head, "I don't know either."

"He probably went to see Song Wanning." Song Wanshi became even angrier as she spoke. "Wen Tingbai is such a spineless man. He and Cui Xiaoxiao treated Song Wanning the way they did back then, and now he's regretting it. What's the point of regretting it now?"

As Song Wanshi was speaking, she thought of Cui Xiaoxiao, who was now in the Marquis of Zhongping's mansion, and couldn't help asking, "Wen Tingbai's concubine Cui Xiaoxiao was so arrogant and domineering back then. Where is she now?"

"I heard she accidentally lost her child and then gave Master Bai a sterilizing drug. Master Bai punished her by sending her to work as a fire-making maid." Shaoyao told Song Wanshi about Cui Xiaoxiao's current whereabouts and whispered, "I heard that whenever Master Bai gets angry outside, he takes it out on her."

"Thinking back then, she was a concubine, yet she lived such a luxurious life. If it weren't for Song Wanning, she'd probably still be living a life of luxury. I just wonder if she hates me now, or if she wants to avenge me." Song Wanshi now remembered Wen Tingbai, the concubine, and chuckled softly, saying, "Mudan, go get her. If she's willing to help me, I don't mind protecting her in the future, so she doesn't have to endure Wen Tingbai's beatings again."

Mudan responded, then looked at Song Wanshi and said, "Grandma, my wife has been falsely accused and divorced and has returned to her mother's home. I wonder if you would like to go back and see her?"

Song Wanshi was still angry at Nan Hongqiu. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been forced to marry Wen Tingbo. Now that her face was disfigured, she couldn't divorce and remarry like Song Wanning had done. "Forget it, since she's been framed, I should avoid suspicion now. Otherwise, I'm afraid Wen Tingbo will have another handle on me in the future."

Mudan responded and went out to find Cui Xiaoxiao for Song Wanshi.

Cui Xiaoxiao no longer has the beauty she once had. Because she has not had enough food for many years and has been beaten by Wen Tingbo, she is now in such a miserable state that she is worse than a servant.

Cui Xiaoxiao had long known that the Song family's eldest daughter was going to marry into the family, but she didn't know what the daughter wanted her to do.

Song Wanshi looked at Cui Xiaoxiao and asked in a low voice, "Are you Cui Xiaoxiao?"

Cui Xiaoxiao nodded and subconsciously shrank back, "Grandma, I am just a fire-making girl in the fire room now. I have nothing to do with Mr. Bai anymore."

Song Wanshi looked at Cui Xiaoxiao with a smile on her face, but now her appearance was completely ruined, and her smile was creepy. "I called you here today, not to blame you. You know, Song Wanshi is my cousin, and now she's married to the Prime Minister, so she's enjoying a life of great success. When my cousin was in the Marquis Zhongping's mansion, Concubine Cui also had a good life. Now she's become like this, it's really sad."

Cui Xiaoxiao didn't understand what Song Wanshi meant, and quickly lowered her head and said, "It was my fault that I was blind and provoked the mistress. I deserve all of this."
