Nan Hongqiu's face was filled with sorrow. She looked at her husband Song Zhan who was sitting over there and said, "Master, can you help me deal with this? If Song Wanning really gets divorced, the reputation of our daughter will be ruined. I'm afraid she won't be able to get married."

Song Zhan looked up at Nan Hongqiu and said, "Didn't you hear how resolute Big Brother was just now? Song Lan's words were harsh, but that was Big Brother's intention. If we stop him, I'm afraid we'll have to split up the family."

Song Zhan has always known what kind of person Nan Hongqiu is. "Are you willing to divide the family to preserve your daughters' reputations?"

Nan Hongqiu fell silent after hearing this. The Song family's prosperity over the years had been earned through Song Jing's military exploits. Song Zhan was, after all, a civil servant, and his salary was not much, and he could not afford to support such a large family. Without Song Jing's family, the family's expenses would have to be greatly reduced.

Nan Hongqiu rolled her eyes and sighed, "I don't think the Marquis' Mansion will just let it go. I think that Bo Ge'er is a good person. If I had known earlier, I would have let Wanxiu marry him. Ning girl got to enjoy the Marquis' Mansion's wealth for nothing, and she still doesn't know how to appreciate it."

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Song Wanxiu, who was sitting next to Song Wanshi, finally spoke up, unhappily. "Don't you know what kind of people that family is? Isn't Wen Tingbai just a villain who got his mind on things when he saw Uncle coming back? Have you forgotten the humiliation Song Wanning suffered at Pingyuan Marquis's mansion? I can't stand such humiliation. If that's the case, I'd rather die."

"Mother was just joking." After hearing what Song Wanxiu said, Nan Hongqiu knew in her heart that this marriage was not a good one. She only sighed and said, "I'm afraid our mansion will no longer have a close relationship with the Marquis's mansion in the future."

Song Zhan was a man of good judgment. "Big brother is currently in power. Yesterday, he even received a lavish praise from the Emperor when he entered the palace. Instead of trying to curry favor with the Marquis's Mansion, it's better to ease the relationship with Big brother over this matter. The Marquis's Mansion wants to please Big brother, and we can't turn our backs on one another."

"You know how we treated Sister Ning during those two years." Nan Hongqiu felt guilty and looked up at her husband, "I shouldn't have married Wan Ning off. It was your idea."

Listening to Nan Hongqiu's complaints, Song Zhan said impatiently, "How could I have imagined that my brother would come back then?"

"Stop arguing, just do what you have to do. I can't take care of this family anymore anyway." The old lady stood up and left with her crutches.

Seeing that no one in the room was helping, Nan Hongqiu immediately came up with other ideas.

-

On the other side, Song Wanning and Song Jing set a date to go to the Marquis' Mansion to divorce, and stayed in the Song Mansion with peace of mind waiting for the visit.

On the day Zhuque returned home, he actually brought the account book of the rouge shop. Song Wanning began to look at the account. It would have been better if she hadn't looked at it. As soon as she looked at it, she found the mistake.

It was obvious that the cost of the rouge shop was not right. I was afraid that the owner had secretly taken a lot of kickbacks.

Song Wanning immediately stood up and called Zhuque and Caique, saying, "Let's go out. First, take our own carriage and rent a car outside. Then, disguise ourselves and go to the rouge shop to take a look."

Cai Que's eyes were slightly worried as she looked at Song Wanning and said, "Miss, this is a sensitive period. If we go to the rouge shop now and get caught by the Marquis's Mansion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

"Do it cleanly and neatly. I'll go alone. I'll put a veil on my head and no one should notice." Song Wanning pursed her lips. She was now thinking about business matters and felt she couldn't wait even for a moment.

Song Wanning then added, "I won't take the outside car when I come back. Caique will wait for me on the street behind the Rouge Shop."

Seeing that they couldn't persuade her, Caique and Zhuque also went out to do what she told them.

Song Wanning took two maids out and got on the carriage that had been rented long ago, slowly heading towards the rouge shop.

What Song Wanning didn't expect was that Wen Tingbai had specially sent spies to watch at the door of the Song Mansion, waiting for her to appear and then follow her.

Song Wanning arrived at the rouge shop and was about to enter when she saw a familiar figure at the corner.

Wen Tingbo had already followed quickly. Song Wanning secretly thought that something was wrong. Wen Tingbo followed her secretly, and she was afraid that he wanted to find something to hold against her so that she could not negotiate a divorce.

Song Wanning pulled her veil tighter and turned into another alley, followed by several people.

She was now somewhat confused about Wen Tingbo's purpose. She was now living in the Song Mansion, with her father and brother there. Since the divorce was already settled, even if Wen Tingbo found out about the shop, it would be of no use.

Even with this in mind, Song Wanning still walked forward quickly and saw a carriage in front of her.

Song Wanning saw that the carriage curtains seemed to be of her own design and thought that Caique had come to pick her up, so she climbed into the carriage without thinking, "Caique, let's go."

Who would have thought that the person in the carriage was not Caique, but Yi Chen who was resting with his eyes closed.

As soon as Song Wanning entered the carriage, Yi Chen quickly opened his eyes.

"Hush!" Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Song Wanning immediately felt relieved and lifted her veil to let Yi Chen see who she was. Song Wanning immediately sat down opposite Yi Chen without any hesitation and whispered, "I'm being followed. Let me hide for a while. I'll get off the car soon."

Yi Chen was now wearing a single-piece garment with a gold-forged cloud pattern, with light gold cloud patterns on the cuffs and collar, looking very elegant and graceful. Many people had previously praised Wen Tingbo's stylish and elegant style in front of Song Wanning. However, Song Wanning now felt that Yi Chen was much better than Wen Tingbo.

Yi Chen saw Song Wanning's actions, raised his left eyebrow slightly, and chuckled, "Second Madam Bai has a habit of getting on random people's carriages. Fortunately, I was the one in the carriage. If not, I don't know where I would have abducted you to."

"It was just an emergency. I saw that this carriage looked like mine, so I got on the wrong one. I'm Boss Yi's friend. If you say anything harsh, I'll break up with you." Song Wanning said as she lifted the curtain and peeked outside. Seeing that no one seemed to be following, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Boss Yi is pretty free right now. He even has time to rest on the street."

"What is Second Madam hiding from?" Yi Chen raised his eyelids slightly.

Before Song Wanning could say anything, Wen Tingbai's phone rang outside, "Wanning, are you in the car? If you are, could you get out and talk to us?"

Song Wanning was horrified. She hadn't expected that Wen Tingbai had also made a mistake. If she were found in the same car with Yi Chen, she would never be able to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Wen Tingbo, who was outside, came closer and said, "If you don't come down, I'm going to lift the curtain."
