Song Wanning had just returned from outside and was sorting out the account books of the rouge shop.
Who would have thought that Wen Tingbai would appear at the door again, standing outside and slowly walking into the yard. Wen Tingbai was wearing a pine and bamboo robe, and he looked quite charming after a rainy day.
Cai Que, who was standing next to Song Wanning, quickly reminded her, "Grandma, the Second Master is here."
Song Wanning closed the book slowly, raised her head and looked at Wen Tingbai, saying calmly, "Second Master is here, but is there anything you want to discuss with me?"
"Nothing, just came to see what you're doing." Wen Tingbai said, his eyes slowly falling on Song Wanning, showing a bit more tenderness than usual. "It's getting late today, have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet." Song Wanning smiled faintly, glanced at the colorful bird beside her and said, "I forgot the time for a moment, let's go eat now."
"Wan Ning, would you allow me to have a meal in your courtyard?" Wen Tingbai said slowly as he stood in the courtyard. "I think we've been married for so many years, but we've never had a meal together. I'm sorry for you."
Since Wen Tingbo said this, Song Wanning couldn't refuse anymore. Before she could say anything, she saw Cui Xiaoxiao walking towards her from not far away.
"Why do you have to say that, Second Master?" Song Wanning's expression remained cold, but she simply said, "I could have invited Second Master to stay for dinner, but if Auntie knew about it, I'm afraid she would make a scene."
Wen Tingbai felt that Cui Xiaoxiao had insulted him, and he was still angry. He immediately said, "Since Wan Ning said she was a concubine, why should I care so much whether she is angry or not? It's common for us to be jealous of each other as we are all in the same courtyard."
Song Wanning sneered in her heart.
She had long known that Wen Tingbo was a hypocrite with a kind face but a cruel heart, but she still did not expect that in just a few months, Wen Tingbo and Cui Xiaoxiao had quickly reached the point where they were disgusted with each other without the financial support, much faster than she had imagined.
Cui Xiaoxiao, who was standing outside, had indeed heard what Wen Tingbo said. How could she, always so proud, endure such humiliation? She immediately stepped forward with red eyes and cursed, "Wen Tingbo! What did you say?"
"I..." Wen Tingbai knew he was guilty, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Song Wanning, so he just said, "Xiao Xiao, you can't accommodate me in your room now, and you won't let me come somewhere else?"
"You said at the beginning that I was the love of your life. Although I am a concubine, you and Song Wanning are not actually husband and wife. I am no different from the main wife." Cui Xiaoxiao said, tears falling down her face. She raised her fist and hit Wen Tingbo's chest. "Now that the position of main wife is nowhere in sight, I have endured the cold stares from everyone in this family. Who would have thought that you would actually say that I am a concubine? Wen Tingbo, others can despise it, but you can't!"
Wen Tingbai's face flushed red, and he no longer had the heart to coax Cui Xiaoxiao. He said in a deep voice, "Cui Xiaoxiao, have you had enough of making trouble?"
"Wen Tingbai, ah Wen Tingbai, you beast in human form, how could I have fallen for someone like you!" Cui Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and she looked extremely pitiful. "It's only been a few months, and you've already given up on me and want to reconcile with your wife, whom I once found boring and uninteresting?"
Cui Xiaoxiao said, her eyes fell on Song Wanning, and she screamed and rushed over, "Little whore, let you, the mistress, seduce my husband, I will fight you!"
"What are you talking about?" Wen Tingbai finally couldn't help himself. He grabbed Cui Xiaoxiao's wrist and said coldly, "Wan Ning has always been very patient with you. How can you say such things? If this gets out, won't everyone laugh at you?"
"Okay, Wen Tingbo, I'm not done with you! You stinky man, I was really blind to fall for you." Cui Xiaoxiao said, and then punched and kicked Wen Tingbo who was standing.
Wen Tingbai grabbed Cui Xiaoxiao's wrist and said to the maids and servants following behind him, "Take Madam Cui back to her room and let her reflect on herself for a month. If anyone dares to let her out, I will hold you responsible."
The maids and servants behind hurried forward and took the noisy Cui Xiaoxiao away.
Cui Xiaoxiao was dragged by the maids and old women, struggling and cursing, "Wen Tingbai, you scumbag, I will never let you go. You big liar."
Song Wanning had watched such a big show that she almost clapped her hands in applause.
Wen Tingbai sent Cui Xiaoxiao away, turned to look at Song Wanning, and said with a smile, "I haven't disciplined her much. I'm sorry to have embarrassed her, Wanning."
"It's okay." Before Wen Tingbai could continue, Song Wanning spoke up, "It's a pity that after all this commotion, I have no appetite at all. I can't eat anything. Please go back quickly, Second Master."
"Wan Ning..." Wen Tingbai wanted to say something else, but when he saw Song Wan Ning walking back with her head down, he knew that he had lost face, so he had to return to his own yard in disappointment.
Cui Xiaoxiao was locked up in the west yard, and she kept cursing Wen Tingbai for a long time. When she got tired of cursing, she remembered that she had not eaten yet, so she went to find Wen Tingbai.
Cui Xiaoxiao knocked on the door and said to the maid outside, "Where's the meal? The Second Master said he wanted me to reflect on my mistakes, but he didn't say he wanted me to starve. Hurry up and bring me some food."
After a while, the maid at the door opened the door and put the food on the table, "Auntie, have your meal."
Cui Xiaoxiao looked up at the food on the plate. It was just a bowl of vegetables and a bowl of rice. Cui Xiaoxiao was amazed and asked her mother, "Why are you only giving me this? There's not a single piece of meat or anything?"
"Oh, Auntie, things are different now. Do you still think you can get whatever you want? As a concubine, you don't serve the Second Master well, yet you dare to challenge him? Now he's finally angry with you." The mother who served the meal just looked at Cui Xiaoxiao and smiled, "Besides, it's Grandmother Cheng from the main house who's in charge now. Grandmother Cheng said that Auntie's good days are just beginning. She will definitely repay you a hundredfold for everything you did to her when you were the housekeeper."
After hearing this, Aunt Cui collapsed in her chair. She had never expected that because of her willful behavior, she would end up in such a situation.
Cui Xiaoxiao thought about it, and immediately stood up again, looking at the mother and said, "She can't do this to me. I am Wen Tingbai's favorite woman. She can't do this to me. Wait until I turn over and show her how powerful I am."
The mother who brought the meal locked the door and said with a smile from outside, "Auntie, you should think about how to get back on your feet. The Second Master is disgusted with you now."
"I want to see the Second Master. Let him come see me!" Cui Xiaoxiao was now truly terrified. She banged on the door desperately, saying, "Go tell the Second Master quickly and ask him to come see me. Tell him I know I was wrong, and I'll never lose my temper again. I'll live a good life with him..."
"Wen Tingbai! Wen Tingbai..."
