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 267 Dispute

Guan Surong looked at Yin Yichen with indescribable joy in her heart, and immediately said to Yin Yichen, "Brother-in-law is right. I will definitely treat this place as my own home in the future. I just wonder if I can come and ask you some questions in the future. I have nothing to do on weekdays. Besides cooking, I also like to study poetry and songs. But I don't have any talent after all, and I'm not very good at poetry and songs."

Seeing this, Yin Yichen raised his eyelids and said lightly, "Okay, if you learn anything, just come to me."

Guan Surong was overjoyed when she heard this, and for a moment she was a little incoherent, "Brother-in-law, why don't you try the fruit I brought for you to see if it suits your taste."

"Since it's made by Su Rong, it must be delicious. But I have a lot of things to do right now, so I'll just try it after I finish my official duties."

Seeing this, Guan Surong immediately bowed to Yin Yichen and said, "Then Su Rong will not disturb my brother-in-law anymore. Su Rong will go down first."

Guan Surong turned and left, with uncontrollable joy in her eyes, and did not notice Yin Yichen's extremely cold look behind her.

Guan Surong felt indescribably sweet in her heart, and she returned to her room, shaking her sleeves. After a while, her personal maid Clinique also came back and immediately said to Guan Surong, "Miss, I am back."

"What do you think? Song Wanning wanted to leave the things behind?" Guan Surong immediately stepped forward and spoke to Clinique.

"I did stay, but I didn't see my wife eat." Clinique sighed beside Guan Surong, "Miss, can we make this work?"

"My cousin is being nice to me outwardly, but I don't know what she's up to. I know she probably won't eat anything I send her." Guan Surong chuckled. "Don't worry, my target right now isn't her, but the Prime Minister beside her. If I can earn myself a position as a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion, won't I be able to enjoy a good life in the future?"

Clinique, standing aside, also looked at Guan Surong and smiled, "If the young lady can earn such a position, how many people in the capital will envy her in the future? But the Prime Minister has always been cold and aloof, so I don't know if this young lady can succeed."

"Whether it succeeds or not is up to me. Now Song Wanning is pregnant and can't sleep with the Prime Minister. Aren't all men the same? If I can stay with the Prime Minister every day, I'm afraid he won't take the bait. I'm afraid the position of a concubine will be easy to get." Guan Surong said, looking at Clinique and smiling, "You are still young now, how can you understand these principles? Just wait and see. The day will come when I will become successful."

Clinique chuckled at the side and said, "I just wait until the young lady becomes famous in the future, and then my good days will come too."

Guan Surong thought for a moment and said to Qianbi beside her, "I heard that Concubine Cui in the mansion came from the Zhongping Marquis's mansion. I'm afraid she's from a very important background. If you have nothing to do, please go and find out for me if she has any background. I need to find out if this Miss Cui is a friend or foe, and whether she's someone I can use."

"I understand, young lady. I'll help you find out what you're talking about." Clinic looked at Guan Surong and spoke slowly, "I've heard a little bit. I heard that Miss Cui was once a concubine in the Zhongping Marquis's mansion. Because she saved Mr. Bai's life, she was especially favored after entering the mansion and even managed the household for a while. But later, due to a big mess caused by her housekeeping, her status plummeted. She and Mr. Bai became even more incompatible, so she took refuge in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now, I'm afraid she has teamed up with the wife of the family to do business. Since she is quite good at making things, she has made a lot of money. Now she says she has enough money to buy a farm outside, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Guan Surong's eyes darkened, and she said calmly, "I'll just wait for me to visit Aunt Cui someday."

Now, Song Wanning looked at the plate of fruit in front of her, then turned to look at the maid Zhuque beside her, "Call the doctor from the mansion over. She only said she was there to check my pulse. I want to see what goodies she has put in there."

Cai Que responded from the side, "It's always better for Madam to be more cautious. As for Miss Guan, who knows what she's up to, she's so shameless as to come here. I didn't see her come to see me off in person just now. I'm afraid she's gone to the Prime Minister to curry favor with him now. How shameless!"

"Look at what you said. I'm afraid we can't tell the truth. We can only wait for the doctor to come and ask, then we will know it clearly." Song Wanning looked at the two girls in front of her. They were more eloquent than each other.

Zhuque went out and soon called a doctor to Song Wanning. Song Wanning looked at the doctor and asked, "Doctor, you have seen many things, but I don't know if this plate of fruit in front of me is harmful to the body or the child?"

Seeing this, the doctor lifted the plate on the table and sniffed it, then immediately said to Song Wanning, "Madam, this fruit doesn't contain any other poisonous substances. It just contains a light bamboo leaf. It's fine for ordinary people to eat, but if someone who is pregnant eats it, it may cause a miscarriage. Madam, you must not eat it now."

Seeing this, Song Wanning looked at the plate of fruit and said softly, "I see. If there were no doctor now, I would have eaten all the fruit. Caique, send the doctor back to rest."

"I understand, ma'am."

Song Wanning looked at the plate of fruit in front of her and whispered to Zhuque, "Zhuque, guess whether she made this plate of fruit because she didn't know I was pregnant or if she did it on purpose."

Zhuque's face darkened as he spoke in a decisive tone, "Of course she did it on purpose. A villain like her is probably trying to harm the baby in Madam's belly. Madam, how can we allow such a cancerous person to stay in our house? We don't know what she's capable of."

"If we go to her house now, she can naturally say that she didn't know." Song Wanning looked at Zhuque and said slowly, "How to get rid of her? I'm afraid we need to think about it in the long run. There's no time to rush now."

Zhuque stood aside, suppressing his urge to rush over and curse, and stayed obediently in front of Song Wanning.

"The master will be back from the study soon. If he asks, tell him I'm in the accounting office in the yard and ask him to come and talk to me."

As Song Wanning was speaking, she heard Yin Yichen's voice coming from outside, "Wanning, what do you want to talk to me about?"
