Chapter 279 Revenge
Song Wanning's men came back from outside very quickly and replied to Song Wanning, "I followed the madam's instructions and went to check. I saw that Madam Guan was sold by the brothel's madam to Liangcheng, which is more than a hundred miles away from the capital. Although Madam Guan was old, she was pretty and charming. She was quite popular in Liangcheng for a while. Madam Guan originally wanted her daughter to save her, but she couldn't bear the humiliation and hanged herself."
When Song Wanning heard this ending, she was quite surprised, "Guan Surong actually ignored her mother? This is really unexpected."
"When I went to investigate, I also met a few servants from the Zhongping Marquis's mansion, but I only heard that Master Bai told them not to keep an eye on her anymore, so they just dispersed." The servant immediately continued, "After Madam Guan died, the brothel's madam lost money and just dumped Madam Guan's body in the wilderness, so I brought it back. I just don't know why Master Wen left like that."
After hearing this, Song Wanning said slowly, "Send her body to the gate of Guan Surong's yard so that she can see her mother for the last time."
"Yes."

Guan Surong finally asked Wen Tingbo to stay overnight in her yard. Although the two of them could not have any substantial relationship, they were quite affectionate. Guan Surong was very satisfied with this situation. Seeing her considerate and gentle, Wen Tingbo gave her a lot of silver, money and jewelry.
Guan Surong helped Wen Tingbai put on his clothes and said with a smile, "When will the Second Master take me into his house? I am his person now."
"Just wait for a few days, I will take you to live in my house right away." Wen Tingbai smiled and looked at Guan Surong and said, "How can I bear to let a precious person like you stay out there forever? Just trust me and wait patiently for me to pick you up here."
After hearing this, Guan Surong smiled and nodded, "Second Master has spoken, so I naturally believe it. I am just waiting for Second Master to come pick me up and carry me into the mansion in style. By then, I can also have a good chat with the other sisters in the courtyard."
"Of course." Wen Tingbai said, looking at Guan Surong, "I still have a lot of work to do now, I have to go back to the mansion soon. You should rest well at home in the next few days, and wait for me to finish my work and then come to pick you up to live in the mansion."
Guan Surong responded tenderly, "I'm waiting for Second Master here... I'll take Second Master out, it would be good to see Second Master a little more."
When Wen Tingbai heard this, he naturally responded and immediately hugged Guan Surong and went out of the yard.
Guan Surong was the first to open the door, but saw a person lying at the door. She was startled and subconsciously hid behind Wen Tingbo, "Dead man, Second Master, how could there be a dead man at the door!"
When Wen Tingbai heard this, he quickly hugged Guan Surong in his arms and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, it's just a dead body. I don't know who put it here. Just wait for me to send someone to move the body away."
Wen Tingbai frowned and walked forward to take a look. He saw a woman lying on the ground. Judging from her complexion and eyes, she looked a bit like Guan Surong. Wen Tingbai had a bad feeling and his face turned pale. He bit his lip and said to Guan Surong, "Surong, look at that person on the ground. Is she your relative?"
Guan Surong felt as if struck by lightning when she heard this. She immediately stepped forward to take a look. The moment she saw the face, she was frightened to death. Guan Surong rushed forward and fell to the ground, "Mother, mother... Mother, what's wrong with you? Wake up. What's wrong with you, mother? Where have you been these days? Mother, I've been looking for you, mother..."
Guan Surong said this, tears as big as beans fell down, and she shook Madam Guan but there was no movement. She was panicked, and she didn't expect that things would develop into the current situation.
Wen Tingbai felt guilty and stepped forward to comfort her. "Rong'er, the deceased is gone now. Relax and don't think too much. What's most important is to take care of Madam Guan's funeral. I will definitely ask someone to investigate the whole story of this incident. None of the instigators will be able to escape."
Guan Surong became even weaker after hearing this. She collapsed on Wen Tingbo's chest and cried, "Second Master, you are all I have now. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to figure this out. Please help me find out what's going on."
"Don't worry, I will ask someone to help you right away so that Madam Guan can rest in peace." After saying this, Wen Tingbai pushed Guan Surong away and left the yard.
Guan Surong felt desperate when she saw Madam Guan's current state. She collapsed on Madam Guan and cried, "Mother, I didn't abandon you. I just had no other choice. I came back to think of a way for you, but who knew that something like this would happen and you would have such a miserable life."
Guan Surong almost fell down from crying, but she saw a letter in Mrs. Guan's hand.
Guan Surong reached out to take the letter and saw that what was written inside were Mrs. Guan's last words. Every word was about Guan Surong. On the one hand, she told Guan Surong to live well, but on the other hand, she resented Guan Surong for ignoring her and not trying to save her.
She also said that she had stayed in a brothel in the capital for three days but she had not brought anyone to redeem her, and that she had suffered a lot.
Guan Surong finally understood what was going on when she saw this. Wen Tingbai must have known where Madam Guan was, but he just didn't want to pay the money, so he pretended not to know. Guan Surong was ruthless and gritted her teeth and said, "Wen Tingbai, I trusted you so much, but you didn't save my mother, and put her in this situation. Now I am your concubine..."
As Guan Surong spoke, she began to cry again. She held Madam Guan's body and cried for a long time before she buried her.
Guan Surong now has no relatives in the capital, and can only rely on Wen Tingbo to survive. On the one hand, she spends the gold and silver given by Wen Tingbo, and on the other hand, she thinks that these are all owed to her by Wen Tingbo. She is just pretending to be nice to him on the surface, but secretly she is thinking that when she has saved enough money, she will poison Wen Tingbo to avenge Guan's wife.
Wen Tingbai knew he was in the wrong, so he gave Guan Surong a lot of gold and silver jewelry, allowing her to live a life of luxury in this small courtyard. Guan Surong was a little conflicted for a while. If she poisoned Wen Tingbai, she would suffer as well. If she didn't die, no one would be able to support her in the future.
After Song Wanning knew about this, she decided to add fuel to the fire for Guan Surong.
