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 223 Morality

Seeing Wen Xu's understanding, Wen Tingbai patted Wen Xu's forehead with joy and said with a faint smile, "Good boy, wait two days, and your father will take you to see your mother. If your mother doesn't recognize you then, just cry loudly and embarrass her, and she will recognize you."

Thinking of this, Wen Tingbai immediately wrote a letter to Song Wanning in the Prime Minister's Mansion, expressing Wen Xu's longing for Song Wanning. The mother-son love in this letter was unparalleled in heaven and on earth, and was even closer than that of a biological mother and son.

The post was quickly delivered to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cai Que took the letter to Song Wanning, looked at her and said, "Madam, Mr. Bai from the Marquis of Zhongping's mansion sent a letter saying that your adopted son Wen Xu misses you and wants to see you. I wonder what Mr. Bai is planning now."

Before Song Wanning could say anything, Zhuque beside her burst out laughing. "Wen Xu's surname isn't Song, nor is it Yin. He's not even Madam's son, yet he's come here to claim his kinship. Our Madam is now in charge of the household at the Prime Minister's Mansion, so there's no such thing as an adopted son. That kid is just Wen Tingbai's adopted son. Now that they're divorced, I don't know what Master Bai is talking about when he's holding onto his son."

Song Wanning's mind was now as clear as a mirror. Zhuque was right. She was no longer Second Mrs. Bai, and this son had nothing to do with her anymore. Moreover, she had been so kind to Wen Xu in her previous life, but she didn't expect this ungrateful person to turn around and kill her adoptive mother.

Now, I'm afraid Wen Tingbai has something to ask of her, so he's using Wen Xu as a pretext. Although Wen Xu is still young, he's a child with his own thoughts. Song Wanning looked up at Cai Que and said slowly, "Don't pay any attention to it. Next time you receive a letter like this, just throw it away."

What Song Wanning didn't know was that after Wen Tingbai wrote letters to Song Wanning for several days in a row, seeing that Song Wanning was still indifferent, he turned around and delivered the letters to the Yin Mansion.

Although he didn't often interact with officials in the capital, he was still aware of the goings-on in the capital. Madam Yin of the Yin Mansion probably had some complaints about Song Wanning.

If that's the case, then Wen Tingbo can take advantage of it.

Wu Junrou and Wen Tingbo hit it off immediately. As soon as she received the letter, she replied to Wen Tingbo and invited him to visit Yin's house.

Wen Tingbo understood what Wu Junrou meant, and immediately planned a big show with Wu Junrou.

After a few days, Wu Junrou remembered that she had made a scene last time when she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she directly called her mother to the Prime Minister's Mansion to call Song Wanning over.

Wu Junrou's mother was a loyal person. She immediately said to Song Wanning, "Madam, our mistress invited you to come over and sit down. I think she has something important to say. Madam, you should go over and take a look."

Song Wanning raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that Wu Junrou would start to make trouble for her again after just two days of peace. But she didn't know what the trouble might be.

Seeing that Song Wanning showed no intention of getting up, my mother immediately said, "Madam, people outside are saying that you, the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't respect your elders. If you still want to gain fame, it's important for you to go and see our madam. If our madam has nothing to do on weekdays, she will definitely not disturb you. Now that she has sent a servant to call you over, it must be because she has something important to say. Please get up quickly."

Zhuque, the maidservant beside Song Wanning, immediately stood up and looked at her mother and said, "What are you saying, mother? Our wife is now the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion. There are so many things to do in the mansion every day. How can your wife just go there at a glance? Since mother said that there is something for our wife to do, why don't we clarify what it is here so that our wife can make the final decision."

Seeing this, the mother still stiffened her neck and said, "Our mistress only said it was an urgent matter. She said that if you don't go, I'm afraid that the whole of Shengjing will spread the reputation of your cold and heartless nature."

Song Wanning stood up from her chair and looked at her mother with a smile, "I'm also curious now, what kind of thing would make me infamous if I don't go there. Since mom said so, I must go and take a look."

When my mother saw Song Wanning respond, she also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Song Wanning, "Madam, please come in."

Song Wanning went out to the Yin Mansion with only two maids by her side.

As soon as Song Wanning entered the house, she saw a large crowd of people in the courtyard of the Yin Mansion. They must have been called by Wu Junrou. Among them were Yue Lian, the wife of Wu Junrou's eldest son Yin Wentang, and Qi Shu, the wife of her second son Yin Wenzhi. They must have been specially called by Wu Junrou to help out.

As soon as Song Wanning stepped into the door, she saw Wen Xu running out from the back of the yard, and immediately knelt on the ground and hugged her knees.

Song Wanning frowned. Before she could say anything, Wu Junrou came out and smiled at her, "Wanning, you're finally here. Look at your son. You've been married for so long, and you haven't even thought about how your son is doing. Look at your son, he misses you so much. He stands at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion every day waiting for you because he misses you. If I hadn't seen him, I don't know how long he would have waited. If someone outside saw him, I don't know what kind of rumors would spread."

"Aunt, let me be frank. This child is the adopted son of Mr. Bai from the Marquis of Zhongping's Mansion. He has nothing to do with me. Please be careful with your words and don't say such misleading words again." Song Wanning never thought that seeing her indifferent, Wen Tingbai would actually bring Wu Junrou into contact.

At this moment, Wen Xu's face flushed red, and tears as big as beans fell from her face. She cried out, "Mother, although I was not born by you, in my heart, I have already regarded you as my biological mother. Now mother doesn't want Xu'er anymore. Mother, you don't want Xu'er anymore."

Wen Xu was crying her heart out, her little face flushed red, it looked so tragic that all the mothers nearby were moved.

At this moment, Wu Junrou's good daughters-in-law Yue Lian and Qi Shu stepped out from behind. Qi Shu looked at Song Wanning and said in an accusing tone, "The Prime Minister's wife is now married into a wealthy family, but she no longer cares about her son's life or death. It's really sad. Look at this child crying like this, but she remains indifferent. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really unexpected."
