Cui Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious after returning to Lan Courtyard. No one knew Wen Tingbai better than her.
Wen Tingbai was a complete hypocrite. They did have some feelings for each other in the past, but now, Wen Tingbai was no longer as warm to her as before. And now that Song Wanning, the wife she couldn't afford to offend, was involved, she was in great danger.
Cui Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided to find a way to save her life.
Ding Xiang, who was always loyal to Cui Xiaoxiao, saw that Cui Xiaoxiao was getting anxious and angry, and quickly leaned over to ask, "What's wrong, Auntie? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Dingxiang, tell me, what should I do if the Second Master wants to divorce me?" Cui Xiaoxiao said, tears streaming down her face. "I absolutely cannot let him divorce me, but I don't have much time left."
If she lost Wen Tingbo, she would probably have no place to stand in this capital city.
Ding Xiang thought about it and quickly gave Cui Xiaoxiao some advice, "Auntie, right now, I'm afraid the only way is to stabilize the Second Master first and then get him pregnant. If you get pregnant, as the saying goes, a mother's return depends on her child, so the Second Master absolutely cannot divorce you."
Cui Xiaoxiao was even more anxious at this moment, "How can I get pregnant in such a short time?"
Tianxiang comforted Cui Xiaoxiao and offered advice, "Don't worry, Auntie. I heard there's a medicine shop in the capital that has a magic formula that can make women pregnant quickly. If you take it, are you still worried about not having children?"
Cui Xiaoxiao was now desperate and tried all kinds of methods. When she heard there was a solution, she became anxious and said, "Okay, go find it for me right away. We'll spend whatever it costs."
"I will go find the prescription for you right away." Tianxiang said, and hurried out the door.
Not long after, the news that Cui Xiaoxiao sent people to look for the secret recipe for having a child spread to Song Wanning's yard.
When Song Wanning heard this, she found it a little hard to believe. After all, in her previous life, Cui Xiaoxiao had always been arrogant and had never looked for such a thing. "Really? Aunt Cui really sent someone to find the secret recipe?"
"That's right." Zhuque whispered from the side, "I saw it with my own eyes. Grandma, do you think I need to tamper with the secret recipe?"
"No need." Song Wanning said with a faint smile, "I was worried that she would be divorced. Now that she knows how to worry, it's a good thing. Send someone to help and find her that good prescription. It would be best if she could get pregnant quickly."
"Yes." Zhuque heard it and went down to do the work.
What Song Wanning didn't expect was that Wen Tingbai actually came to her yard with a pot of wine.
Wen Tingbai smiled brightly. Song Wanning felt that she had never seen Wen Tingbai smile like this in her two lifetimes. She just said, "Second Master, you are visiting me so late at night. Do you have anything to say?"
"Wan Ning, I'm your husband. Isn't it perfectly legitimate for me to come to your courtyard?" Wen Tingbai's smile remained undimmed. He raised the wine jug in his hand and gestured, "Wan Ning, why don't you have a couple of drinks with me?"
Song Wanning sneered inwardly, having seen through Wen Tingbai's plan. She simply said, "It's not that I don't want to drink with Second Master, but I have something urgent to do right now, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you. However, Concubine Cui in the West Courtyard should be free, so Second Master might as well go find her."
"Wan Ning, you still blame me," Wen Tingbai said, placing his wine glass on the table and drinking. "Back then, I was wrong to you. I married you, but didn't cherish you. I left you on our wedding night, leaving you to be looked down upon by the people in this mansion and ridiculed by the people of the capital."
Song Wanning narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly, "Since Second Master knows, why are you here now?"
"I really want to make it up to you now." Wen Tingbai said, reaching out his hand to pull Song Wanning, but Song Wanning dodged him. Wen Tingbai did not get angry, but continued, "Wanning, I understood your feelings before, but I ignored you. Now let me make it up to you, and we can live a good life together."
Song Wanning's face turned cold. She glanced at the maids at the door and said indifferently, "Second Master has drunk too much. Help him go back and rest."
"I'm not drunk. I'm going to rest in your yard today." Wen Tingbai said, and actually laughed. He looked at Song Wanning and said, "Wanning, give me a chance."
Song Wanning backed away, frowning as she looked at the maids behind Wen Tingbai and asked, "What are you doing? Why don't you help the Second Master down to rest?"
After hearing what Song Wanning said, the maids hurried forward, supported Wen Tingbai and were about to leave.
At this moment, the maid from the west courtyard came to report, "It's bad, it's bad, Second Master is not well. Aunt Cui ate something wrong and is now rolling around in pain on the bed. Second Master, go and take a look."
Wen Tingbai was already a little drunk. He looked at the maid and asked, "What? Did you eat something wrong?"
Song Wanning looked at Wen Tingbai and suddenly had an idea. "Second Master and Concubine Cui have always been deeply in love. Now that he's drunk, Concubine Cui is unwell. Quickly help Second Master to the west courtyard to check on Concubine Cui."
The maids hurriedly said yes and helped Wen Tingbai go straight to the west courtyard where Cui Xiaoxiao was.
Song Wanning looked at the empty courtyard, poured herself a cup of tea in a good mood, and said slowly, "I hope Aunt Cui's wish will come true."
Caique covered her mouth and laughed, "Grandma is right. With Grandma's help, it will definitely work."
The next morning, Song Wanning did not receive good news from the West Courtyard, but instead received another news.
Caique walked in carrying the basin, looked at Song Wanning and said, "Grandma, something big has happened in the mansion. The family of Xun'er's unmarried daughter-in-law is here."
"Isn't the divorce period still some time away?" Song Wanning remembered that Wen Tingxun's wife was a dignified lady with an extraordinary family background.
"We're not here to discuss a marriage," Cai Que murmured softly. "I heard from the Liu family that they're here to cancel the engagement. Everyone knows about the Second Master favoring his concubine over his wife, so the Wang family has come to cancel the engagement, unwilling to marry their daughter here."
"That girl is my wife's niece. If I cancel the engagement, wouldn't I offend my wife?" Song Wanning thought about this and found it a little unbelievable. "Has it come to this point just to reject this marriage?"
"That's right." Cai Que nodded and said, "The Wang family probably hesitated for a long time, but they really didn't want their daughter to fall into this bad situation, so they took such a desperate measure."
Just as Song Wanning finished washing up, the nanny beside Madam Wang arrived and said outside the courtyard, "Second Madam, Madam wants you to go to the hall to question her. As the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. We are all family, so please speak well of us and say good things about our son Xun. Madam will definitely remember your kindness when the time comes."
