Madam Wang sighed and looked at the nanny beside her and said, "It's not that I don't want to teach her a lesson, but now her father and brother are about to return. I'm afraid that if she gets hurt, our mansion will suffer the consequences."
As Mrs. Wang spoke, she turned to look at the nanny beside her and frowned, "Where's Bai'er? Where did he go? I really don't know what he's busy with every day."
The nanny beside Madam Wang rubbed her hands awkwardly when she heard Madam Wang ask this question. After a pause, she said, "Madam, Brother Bo..."
"Just tell the truth," Mrs. Wang said, then she held her forehead with her hand and said in a muffled voice, "At this point, is there anything I can't bear?"
The nanny sighed and timidly looked up at Madam Wang. "Brother Bo got drunk yesterday and stayed at Aunt Cui's place. He hasn't gotten up yet at this hour..."
"I can see he doesn't take his father's words to heart at all!" Mrs. Wang said, slamming her fist on the table. "No wonder Brother Bo's wife refused to help him this morning. With all the messes he's made, I've never seen anyone more shameful than him."
Seeing this, the nanny hurried forward to offer advice, whispering, "Madam, that vixen in the courtyard is quite capable. Now she has harmed Brother Bo to this extent. Madam, you must think of a solution. How can we allow her to ruin Brother Bo's reputation in our house?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that Brother Bai treats him like a treasure. If I take action, I'm afraid it will hurt the relationship between mother and son." Mrs. Wang said this, angrily, "If it weren't for that vixen, Brother Bai would still have a good reputation. If only General Song returned, Brother Bai's career would be bright. How could he be like this now?"
Mrs. Wang said this, rising to her feet with increasing rage. "If it weren't for that vixen, my brother Xun'er's promising marriage wouldn't have been ruined. It really makes me so angry. I have to teach that vixen a lesson, or I won't be able to get over the hatred in my heart. Send someone to call Brother Bai here quickly. I have something to say to him."
The nanny beside Madam Wang responded and went out to call for help. Meanwhile, Wen Tingbai in Lan Courtyard had just woken up.
Wen Tingbai found that there was another person lying beside him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Song Wanning did not reject him, which meant that she still had feelings for her. Everything was not too late.
Wen Tingbai thought about it and reached out, wanting to hug Song Wanning into his arms. Who would have thought that when Wen Tingbai opened his eyes and saw the person's face clearly, he found that it was Cui Xiaoxiao who turned around.
Wen Tingbai was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. He looked at Cui Xiaoxiao in surprise and asked, "You...why are you here?"
"Second Master...where else would you be if I wasn't here?" Cui Xiaoxiao said, and then smiled and tried to pull Wen Tingbo back to sleep. "Second Master drank too much last night and came to my yard to rest. It's still early now, so why not sleep a little longer?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I was clearly..." Wen Tingbai frowned. He always remembered that he was resting in Song Wanning's yard, but he didn't know why he ended up resting in Cui Xiaoxiao's yard.
"Second Master, you were drunk. How could you have rested in another woman's yard?" Cui Xiaoxiao explained with a smile, acting like she loved Wen Tingbo the most. "You know how I feel about you, so how could I bear to see you in someone else's room? Second Master loves me, so how could he have the heart to leave me and go to someone else's room?"
Wen Tingbai didn't reply. He stood up from the bed and put on his clothes. His eyes fell on a pot of soup on the table outside. "What's that on the table?"
Although Cui Xiaoxiao wanted to explode, she had to suppress all her emotions. After all, now, she could only rely on Wen Tingbai for everything. "Second Madam said that Second Master drank too much and was probably suffering from a headache. She sympathized with Second Master and asked the kitchen to make ginger soup. Since Second Master is awake, he can have a few sips. It's also a kind gesture from Second Madam."
"I don't want to drink anymore." Wen Tingbai's face was extremely unhappy.
He had originally thought that after the couple consummated their marriage yesterday, they would get along well and kick Cui Xiaoxiao out of the house, and everything in the mansion would be back on track. Who would have thought that such a mistake would happen and Song Wanning would find out about it?
Now I’m afraid it will be even more difficult for him to move into the South Courtyard.
Before Wen Tingbai left the house, the nanny beside Madam Wang came to call him, "Second Master, the Madam is looking for you. Please go and see her."
Wen Tingbai responded and followed the nanny to Mrs. Wang's yard.
Mrs. Wang has always been particular about worshipping Buddha, and this courtyard is also extremely exquisite.
Wen Tingbai lifted the curtain and walked in, greeting Mrs. Wang as usual, "My son greets the madam."
"You still remember to pay your respects to me?" Madam Wang looked at her son and said angrily, "Brother Bo, do you know that because of you, your brother's marriage has been ruined? He hasn't returned home yet and doesn't know about it. If he knew... I really don't know how to explain it to your brother."
"Madam..." Wen Tingbai's heart skipped a beat. He was well aware of his current reputation in the capital, but he showed no sign of turning back. Instead, he made an excuse, "Xun'er was originally engaged to my uncle's family. Are they so unkind as to insist on breaking off the engagement? Could it be that Madam has been trying to win over my uncle over the past few years, causing a rift between the two families?"
"What do you know? It's all because of that vixen in your yard." Madam Wang glared at Wen Tingbai and said sadly, "She harmed you, and now she's harmed your brother too. I'm afraid if she continues like this, it will harm the whole family... If Brother Bai is more sensible, he shouldn't indulge her anymore."
Hearing that Madam Wang hadn't put the blame on him, Wen Tingbai felt better. If he asked to divorce Cui Xiaoxiao now, he might only damage his reputation. If Madam Wang took action, everything would be easier. Wen Tingbai breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Everything is at Madam's command."
"In my opinion, you should divorce her and kick her out immediately." Madam Wang coughed twice angrily and looked at Wen Tingbo and said, "Then, the proper thing to do is to coax your wife back immediately."
"Madam, divorcing a concubine also requires a source." Wen Tingbai said with a gloomy face, "Xiao Xiao hasn't done anything wrong recently. If I divorce her and leave her, I'm afraid she won't acknowledge me. Then she'll sue me and bring disgrace to the reputation of my mansion."
"Isn't this simple?" Madam Wang glanced at her son and said calmly, "Don't worry about this matter. Just focus on how to bring Wan Ning's dead heart back to life. When the time comes, your mother, the concubine, will naturally decide for you."
After hearing this, Wen Tingbai felt relieved. He looked at Madam Wang and said, "Madam, Aunt Cui has served my son for quite some time. If she leaves the mansion, please give her some money so that she doesn't have to suffer too much."
