Song Wanning looked at Caique beside her and said slowly, "Send someone to check. When the rich man and his family arrive in the capital, tell them Guan Surong's whereabouts. That way, we won't have to do anything and she will be too busy to take care of herself."
Seeing this, Cai Que immediately nodded to Song Wanning, "Madam is right, I will do it right away, please rest assured."
Song Wanning guessed correctly. The rich man and his family had just moved from outside the capital.
The wealthy Liu family had a son and a daughter. The daughter married the son of the Minister of War, a high-ranking official, and was considered lucky to marry into an official family. Meanwhile, Liu Hui, Liu's son, was also betrothed to Guan Surong. Liu had originally thought that since Guan was an official, marrying his son would benefit both parties in future business. However, after the engagement, not only did Guan die, but his wife, Guan, absconded with the money and their children, leaving the Liu family devastated.
But I didn’t expect that the rich man’s son still couldn’t forget Guan Surong.
The rich man was furious when he thought of the Guan family. Seeing his unworthy son in such a state, he said coldly, "Such a heartless woman would definitely ask them to return all the dowry. But who knows where these three of them are hiding now? We can't find them no matter how hard we try. Now that they've entered the capital, we must search for them thoroughly. Maybe they've come to the capital to seek refuge with relatives."
The wealthy man's son, Liu Hui, was still grinning foolishly when he spoke of Guan Surong. "Father, I'm afraid this Surong is being coerced by her mother and has no other choice. He's just waiting to find her and rescue her from her mother. Then, he can let her marry his son. Wouldn't that be perfect?"
Mr. Liu glared at his son and said in dissatisfaction, "What do you know? Now that our family has entered the capital, our lives will only get better and better, while the Guan family has fallen into a quagmire. She and you are no longer a good match. I am just waiting to find you a decent official daughter in the capital to marry, which will also help our business."
Liu Hui pursed his lips and said, "Hasn't my sister already married into an official family?"
"What do you know? Madam Guan is not a good person, and Guan Surong may not be much better than Madam Guan. Look at what kind of person Guan Surong is. Do you really think a mouse can give birth to a phoenix? You are so concerned about her." Mr. Liu looked at his son and felt really disappointed with him.
Liu Hui stood aside, looking at his father guiltily, not daring to say another word.
However, Mr. Liu, the rich man, did not expect that not long after his family arrived in the city, his daughter Liu Yu brought him the news of Guan Surong's whereabouts.
"The Guan family was originally a distant relative of the Song Mansion in the capital, and that's why they came to the capital. Guan Surong came with Madam Guan, and later she became a concubine of a wealthy man in the capital. A while ago, the master of that wealthy family married his first wife and kicked her out. Back then, when Guan Surong was first engaged to my brother, she looked at people with her chin held high. Our Liu family is wealthy after all. Who would have thought that instead of becoming my brother's first wife, she would come to the capital to become a concubine for a wealthy man? It's really ridiculous." Liu Yu snorted coldly and looked at the wealthy Liu and said, "If the engagement hadn't been made long ago, my brother could have broken it and found another woman from an official family. But who would have thought that we didn't mind Master Guan leaving, but Guan Surong would instead look down on our family. It's really ridiculous. It's not just that she didn't want to get married, but she sent so much betrothal gifts to her family, and they didn't even get a penny returned. There's no such good thing in the world."
After hearing what Liu Yu said, Mr. Liu's eyelids twitched. He asked in surprise, "You wrote to me a few days ago, but why didn't you mention this matter in the letter? Didn't you say before that you hadn't found any trace of him?"
When Liu Yu heard the wealthy Liu ask this, she immediately explained with a smile, "It's strange. I was wondering why I couldn't find Guan Surong. It turns out she ran away to someone else's house to be a concubine. The family compound is so closed, how could anyone know? A few days ago, one of my maids was out shopping and came across a young maid from the Song Mansion. She was telling me about Guan Surong. She said that Guan Surong is now looked down upon by the wife of the main house in the Song Mansion every day, and that Guan Surong and her mother are still shamelessly asking for money from the Song Mansion. It's really ridiculous. When my daughter heard this, she almost laughed her teeth off. She asked her maid to find out, and only then did she know so much about Guan Surong. Now that she has lost her power, father must take the initiative to go to her house to ask for the money. Otherwise, don't let this mother and daughter get away with it again."
Seeing this, Mr. Liu nodded and said, "In a few days, I will have my servants go to the gate of the Song Mansion and cause trouble. I must get the money back."
The two were discussing something, and Liu Hui on the side couldn't even get a word in.
And now she is still in the Song Mansion thinking about how to find a rich and noble young man outside, and has no idea that she is about to face a disaster.
Guan Surong was so obsessed with the wealth of the Marquis of Zhongping's mansion that she couldn't focus on anything else. Wen Tingbo was handsome, gentle, and wealthy, but his inability to have children wasn't a big deal to her. However, since she had been a concubine before, she was concerned about how to convince Wen Tingbo to marry her.
But before Guan Surong could figure out what was going on, her maid, Qianbi, ran in in a panic. She looked at Guan Surong and said, "Miss, something terrible has happened. The mistress in the mansion wants you to come over. The mother who came to deliver the message has a bad look on her face. I'm afraid something bad has happened. The mistress not only wants you to come, but also wants our grandmother. I wonder what she wants."
"Mother is gone too?" Guan Surong stood up in disbelief.
Seeing this, Clinique nodded hurriedly and said, "Miss, you must prepare early. You never know what trouble will come."
"What could it be?" Guan Surong's heart was beating fast, but she had no idea what it could be. She could only follow the servants to find Song Zhan's new wife.
Guan Surong had just entered the house when the wife of the Song Mansion, who was in charge of this matter, looked at Guan Surong and sneered twice, "You two, mother and daughter, owed so much debt in the past, and now you think you can hide in the capital and everything will be fine, but you didn't realize that the debt collectors have already knocked on your door."
Guan Surong was shocked when she heard this.
