"There's no need to be so hypocritical. Just treat Wanshi well and live a good life with her from now on."
Song Zhan's face was full of fatigue, and he said coldly, "Wanshi is now in this state and has been divorced. It is really not decent. There is no need to make it public. The two families can just have a meal together secretly and worship the heaven and earth. That will be considered complete."
Song Wanshi was stunned when she heard this, but she still gritted her teeth and responded. She really couldn't fight for anything for herself now. Besides, living with Guan Wenyan was always better than living with Wen Tingbo.
Guan Wenyan, on the other hand, was not a fake man but a real eunuch like Wen Tingbai. At least when Guan Wenyan was with her, he was really gentle and considerate. Thinking of this, Song Wanshi felt much better.
Now that the matter was settled, Song Wanshi went back to her own yard to rest, and Mrs. Guan also followed Guan Wenyan to the yard.
Mrs. Guan looked at Guan Wenyan now. Although she was angry, she still said patiently, "You have done this now, but what benefit have you gained from Song Wanshi?"
"Song Wanshi transferred one of her shops to me." Guan Wenyan stood beside Madam Guan, looking worried. "But now, my son has no choice but to marry her. I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep if he has to look at a face like her every day."
"Marry her, and all her wealth will belong to our family in the future." Madam Guan now saw it clearly. "It's hard for you to serve her for so long. The first time you went to the Marquis Zhongping's mansion, the look in her eyes was impure. Who would have thought she would do such a thing? Now that the matter is settled, there's nothing we can do. There's still a long way to go. As long as we mother and son work things out slowly, everything will be fine."
Guan Wenyan responded and discussed with Mrs. Guan where to put the house. Since Song Zhan said he wanted to buy a house, he should buy a house that the Guan family liked.
Guan Surong just happened to come back from outside. She looked at Madam Guan and Guan Wenyan and asked in confusion, "Brother, isn't he helping out at the Marquis' Mansion? Why is he back?"
Seeing her like this, Madam Guan quickly asked, "How are you getting along with Yan Yuzhi now? Has he said he wants to marry you?"
Guan Surong sat down on the chair calmly, looking at Madam Guan and saying, "Mother, it's strange. A few days ago, Yan Yuzhi said it would take some time to convince my family. But today, he told me directly that he would come and make a commitment to marry me soon."
When Madam Guan heard what Guan Surong said, she finally smiled. "Finally, all my efforts for you were not in vain. Now the dust has finally settled."
Mrs. Guan said, then thought of something else, looked at Guan Surong and said, "Did Yan Yuzhi say when he would come to make the decision? This matter should be done as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."
Guan Surong knew this in her heart, "My daughter must let Yan Yuzhi marry her as soon as possible. Now this matter can only be done while the date is set."
Guan Surong and Madam Guan now knew that the Yan family wanted to marry Guan Surong as their principal wife only for the sake of the General's Mansion. If the Yan family knew that they were not so respectable, the marriage would surely go wrong.
Guan Wenyan saw that Guan Surong was going to marry Yan Yuzhi soon, and he couldn't help but think about it. He only cared about Guan Surong and said, "If my sister marries Yan Yuzhi in the future, she will be the grandmother of one of the richest families in the capital. She will always have to think about me, her brother and mother."
"That's natural." Guan Surong looked at Guan Wenyan's tired face and the scarred corners of his mouth, and asked hurriedly, "Brother, what happened now? How did you get hurt?"
Guan Wenyan touched the injured corner of his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Nothing."
On the other side, Song Wanning also learned about the matter between Song Wanshi and Guan Wenyan.
Zhuque told Song Wanning all the news he had just gathered. "Madam, our informants at the Marquis Zhongping's residence and the people at the Song residence have come to tell you that Song Wanshi and Guan Wenyan were caught doing something shameful at the Marquis Zhongping's residence by Wen Tingbai, and now he has divorced her. Song Wanshi has returned to the Song residence, but the Second Master has just married a new wife, so how can he be bothered to discipline her? I heard that Song Wanshi has been betrothed to Guan Wenyan, and that they can only consider it a marriage."
"My cousin is truly a man of character." Song Wanning snorted coldly, then smiled at Zhuque, "I never thought my cousin could be such a devoted person. Poverty and humbleness truly cannot change his mind."
Zhuque didn't say much, just looked at Song Wanning and asked calmly, "Madam, what should we do now?"
"You don't have to do anything, just wait and watch the show." Song Wanning knew that Guan Wenyan was definitely not such a person, and no one knew what he would do in the future.
Song Wanning already had an idea, and Kan Ze Zhuque immediately spoke up, "Now that this one has been accomplished, let's wait and see what happens on the other side. Go and investigate the place where Guan Surong and Yan Yuzhi had their secret meeting. The Yan family has such a big business, I'm afraid they have many enemies. Now, I want Yan Yuzhi to be forced to marry Guan Surong."
It is hard to say what Guan Surong's status was when she married Yan Yuzhi. After all, Guan Surong was not the general's niece, but just an unrelated relative who had shamelessly moved into the general's mansion.
Song Wanning soon learned that the Yan family had become the richest family in Beijing by suppressing their peers. However, there were many families who were secretly hostile to the Yan family while appearing to be friendly with them.
Xue Xinghong, the son of a fourth-rank official at Bishuitang, had a grudge against Yan Yuzhi, but he suppressed it by not engaging him in any confrontation. Yan Yuzhi, a womanizer, flirted with a young woman from an official family—Xue Xinghong's fiancée at Bishuitang.
If there is this opportunity now, Xue Xinghong will definitely not miss it and will naturally give Yan Yuzhi a good beating.
It didn't take long for Song Wanning to pass the news to Xue Xinghong's ears.
After hearing what his servant said, Xue Xinghong was a little incredulous and asked, "Is this true? Is Yan Yuzhi really trying to seduce the niece of the mighty general?"
"Indeed, I have seen them go to the Xianhe Tower every day to meet secretly. I am afraid that now it is a done deal." The servant looked at Xue Xinghong and said happily, "Now is the time for me to take revenge."
Xue Xinghong stood up happily upon seeing this. "I'd like to know how the general would react if he knew his niece had been seduced by a businessman."
