The news of Yin Yichen's assassination spread, and naturally the general's mansion also heard about Yin Yichen's incident.

Song Jing sneered when he heard this, and looked at Song Lan beside him and said, "If anyone in the current dynasty can match the prime minister's mind, I'm afraid everyone will end up defeated."

Song Lan narrowed his eyes in thought and whispered to Song Jing, "I'm afraid Yin Yichen was drunk. He's not drunk enough to let a girl into the Prime Minister's Mansion as if she were alone, right? I'm afraid he did this on purpose, deliberately luring her into a trap."

Song Jing sighed and nodded, "Yes, the Lou family has just joined the princess and has suffered a disaster. The other court officials have seen it and I'm afraid they will never dare to act rashly again. If it weren't for the situation, I really don't want to marry Wan Ning to such a scheming and powerful official."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Song Lan also sighed.

Normally, when something like this happened, Nan Hongqiu from the second house would also gossip behind the back, but now she didn't have the energy to care about these other things.

Now Song Wanshi was poisoned by jealousy and her appearance was getting uglier day by day. Nan Hongqiu had no choice but to call back Song Wanxiu, who was already married.

Song Wanxiu saw Song Wanshi's current appearance. Her face was even uglier than the previous two days, as if she had become a different person. She was so surprised that she almost ran out of the house. She suppressed the disgust in her heart and looked at Song Wanshi and said, "Mother, you said... this is my sister?"

Nan Hongqiu nodded helplessly and sighed, "Your sister has been harmed by Song Wanning. I'm afraid there is no way to save her now."

"This..." Song Wanxiu's eyes were filled with shock. She looked at Nan Hongqiu and said, "Mother, how could she become like this? What should I do? My sister just got married but was sent back home by her husband's family. If this gets out, people will laugh at her."

Nan Hongqiu sneered twice, looked at Song Wanxiu and said in a deep voice, "At that time, his Zhongping Marquis Mansion used a conspiracy and trickery to get hold of Sister Shi's handle and then married her. Now that Sister Shi is in trouble, he wants to turn his back on her, but I'm afraid it's impossible."

Seeing Nan Hongqiu like this, Song Wanxiu couldn't say anything to comfort her, so she just asked in a low voice, "If that's the case, what is mother going to do? Why did mother call me back?"

Nan Hongqiu is now thinking deeply, "Zhongping Marquis Mansion promised to pick up Wanshi the day after tomorrow. If they don't come by then, I will call Zhongping Marquis Mansion. We in the General's Mansion are not pushovers."

Song Wanxiu now didn't even dare to look at Song Wanshi directly, "Sister, is there really no cure for your current condition?"

Nan Hongqiu sighed and shook his head, "There is no cure."

As he spoke, Nan Hongqiu grabbed Song Wanxiu's hand, looked at her and said, "Good girl, you and your sister have always had a very good relationship since you were young. Today, you just helped your sister. If you didn't help, your sister would be in this state now, and she wouldn't be able to live well in the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion."

After hearing what Nan Hongqiu said, Song Wanxiu was stunned for a moment, "What does mother mean by this? How can I help my sister?"

Nan Hongqiu looked at Song Wanxiu with a serious look in his eyes and said, "Good child, your sister has been harmed by Song Wanning, but she is so carefree and is about to marry the Prime Minister. There is really no such reason in the world. We should avenge your sister no matter what."

"I have long heard that your sister-in-law from the Wang family is very close to the virtuous concubine in the palace. The virtuous concubine's daughter, Princess Xiangyu, has always liked the prime minister. Now that Song Wanning is going to marry the prime minister, Princess Xiangyu must be very dissatisfied. Why don't you use your sister-in-law to enter the palace and act as a matchmaker between me and the princess. We can also plan revenge together."

Song Wanxiu married into the famous Wang family in the capital. Nan Hongqiu personally picked her a good match. Now she lives a comfortable life in her husband's family. Seeing that Nan Hongqiu wanted her to intervene in such a matter, she hesitated for a moment, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to help, but my husband's sister-in-law has not been close to the princess recently. And I'm afraid you don't know that the princess has suffered a setback in the past two days, so I'm afraid she may not help to avenge her."

Nan Hongqiu knew who her daughter was, and she immediately burst into tears. She looked at Song Wanxiu and said, "I have been planning for you since you were a child, and later I searched for a candidate for you day and night, and finally picked such a good marriage for you. You are living a good life now, but you have the heart to watch your sister live like this and turn a blind eye. I really gave birth to you in vain."

"What mother said is not right. From childhood to adulthood, mother has always loved my younger sister more, and has never spent so much time on me. I am just older than my younger sister. If my younger sister is older, how can I get married in the Wang family?" Song Wanxiu now has a cold face, just looking at Nan Hongqiu and said, "Besides, if mother had not insisted on making things difficult for Song Wanning, how could she end up like this? Now I have seen clearly that none of the bones of the first wife are easy to chew. Does mother want me to end up like my younger sister?"

Nan Hongqiu almost fainted after hearing what Song Wanxiu said, but Song Wanxiu continued to speak, "Mother, in my opinion, you should just stop now. These bad things should be regarded as our own bad luck, and we can't blame others. Don't provoke Song Wanning or Yin Yichen in the future, and we can still live a good life."

"Get lost, you useless thing!" Nan Hongqiu's face was red with hatred now. How could she bear to hear Song Wanxiu say such words? "Since you are unwilling to avenge your sister, I will find a way myself. I will seek justice for your sister."

Song Wanxiu heard Nan Hongqiu's words were not pleasant, so she immediately retorted, "Mother, you don't have to say that to me. When mother said to seek justice, it's better to think about what you have done and it's time to seek justice for whom."

"Get out, go to your Wang family and live a good life." Nan Hongqiu said with a cold face, and threw the porcelain cup in his hand in the direction of Song Wanxiu.

Song Wanxiu finally gave in and left the general's mansion in shame.

Nan Hongqiu was thinking about how to plan for Song Wanshi. At this time, the palace sent her an invitation.

Mother Xu smiled and said to Nan Hongqiu, "Madam, you have finally found what you have been looking for. The palace has sent you an invitation. The Concubine Xian said that your embroidery skills are the best in the capital, and she wants you to come to the palace to teach Princess Xiangyu how to embroider."
