Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

Song Jing always felt that it was not safe to go up the mountain for a few days, so he thought of asking Song Lan to follow secretly and escort Song Wanning to the temple.

Song Wanning just shook her head after hearing what Song Jing said, and looked at Song Jing and sighed, "Father, I've been to Red Leaf Mountain. No male relatives are allowed to enter the mountain. If anyone is discovered, the monks and nuns in the temple will immediately take a big stick and beat them out of the door."

Song Jing asked in surprise, "Wan Ning has been there?"

Song Wanning now clenched her handkerchief awkwardly. She had been there in her previous life, but Wen Tingbo no longer cared about her life or death since he brought Cui Xiaoxiao back, so she had no choice but to go to the Red Leaf Mountain to worship and try to win back Wen Tingbo's heart. Now it seems so stupid.

But now, these things cannot be told to Song Jing. Song Wanning only said in a low voice, "Father, I am afraid you don't know that I went to Hongye Mountain when I was in the Zhongping Marquis Mansion."

When Song Jing saw Song Wanning mention this past event, he knew what Song Wanning meant. He thought that Wen Tingbo was out and Song Wanning had no choice but to go to Hongye Mountain to pray for Wen Tingbo to come back. A legitimate daughter of a general's mansion married a man who was unworthy of marriage, and she ended up like this.

Song Jing sighed, patted Song Wanning on the shoulder and said, "Father is sorry for you."

"It's all over." Song Wanning smiled faintly.

Seeing the situation now, Song Lan frowned and said, "This Nan Hongqiu, I'm afraid she is up to something bad. I'm really worried about letting my sister go up the mountain with her. If it doesn't work, I can wear the clothes of a maid and sneak up the mountain."

"No." Song Jing just shook his head when he heard this. "You are tall now, and it will definitely be exposed if you wear a maid's clothes."

"What should I do?" Song Lan frowned, feeling a little anxious. "This won't work, and that won't work. Don't let Nan Hongqiu trick you."

Song Jing suggested to the two of them, "I know of an escort agency in the capital before. There are several female escorts with good martial arts skills. Why not hire one to go up the mountain with your sister so that she can be looked after."

"That's fine, but I'm really worried now." Song Lan looked at Song Wanning and sighed, "Sister only went up the mountain for one day, and the next morning she said she had caught a cold and had to go down the mountain. I was just waiting for her at the foot of the mountain. It's enough for her to pretend, what does that crazy old woman have to do with us?"

"Look at what you are saying. You are becoming more and more rude now." Song Jing glanced at Song Lan and said in a deep voice, "There is a school in the capital. Although you are good at martial arts, your knowledge needs to be studied. I have shamelessly told the head of the school recently that I want you to go in and listen, so that you don't act like a blind man."

Song Lan was extremely unhappy when he heard what Song Jing said to him, "Dad! Although I have been living in the border since I was a child, I have also been educated. Why do you have to belittle me like this?"

Song Jing only glanced at Song Lan and said, "If you don't want to go to the academy, then go and meet other girls. Anyway, you are not young anymore, just choose one by yourself."

"I'll go. Can't I go?" Song Lan surrendered hurriedly.

The matter was settled. Song Jing looked at Song Wanning and said seriously, "Good child, although your elder brother is not serious on weekdays, what he said this time is true. It is not safe to stay in Hongye Mountain now. Just do as your elder brother said. Only go up the mountain for one day and go down the next morning. Then let your elder brother pick you up."

Song Wanning responded softly. Now Nan Hongqiu didn't know what tricks he was thinking of. Song Wanning was unsure and didn't dare to act willfully. "In this case, just do as Daddy and Big Brother said."

Song Lan and Song Jing discussed it and went out immediately to find the young escort to dress up for Song Wanning.

The next morning, Song Wanning left the general's mansion with Zhuque, Caique and four bodyguards.

Nan Hongqiu was only accompanied by Madam Xu and two maids. Seeing Song Wanning mobilizing so many people, they laughed for a moment and looked at Song Wanning and said, "Miss Ning, if people knew that you brought so many maids, they would be shocked by your big show."

When Song Lan heard Nan Hongqiu's words, he was the first to disagree, and he immediately retorted, "Second Aunt, what you said is strange. Yesterday, I asked Aunt if she could guarantee my sister's safety. Aunt didn't respond. Now, I just brought two more maids, and Aunt is quite dissatisfied. I really don't know whether Aunt went up the mountain this time to bathe and fast, or to find fault on purpose."

Nan Hongqiu was immediately choked by Song Lan's words when he saw this, and he didn't know what to say. He just excused himself, "Brother Lan, what are you talking about? I'm just worried that if there are too many people going up the mountain, it will be too ostentatious and people will gossip about it."

Song Lan seemed to have been blessed, and was unwilling to let Nan Hongqiu go. "If that's the case, then auntie will be wronged and leave her two maids in the mansion. There won't be many people. Anyway, auntie went up the mountain to pray for a child. It's useless to bring maids with her. It would seem insincere to be served by others."

"You..." Nan Hongqiu clenched her fists, but couldn't do anything to Song Lan, so she just laughed dryly and said, "If that's the case, then Sister Ning can take the maids up the mountain, and I won't say much."

Because Song Jing had official business to attend to, he arranged for Song Lan to send Song Wanning and Nan Hongqiu to the foot of Red Leaf Mountain.

But when they got there, Song Lan couldn't follow them anymore, so he just whispered to Song Wanning, "According to the plan, I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning."

Song Wanning nodded slightly and followed Nan Hongqiu up the mountain.

Hongye Mountain is now a famous mountain. There are many women coming here to burn incense and stay overnight, and the going up and down the mountain is very busy.

After Song Wanning went up the mountain, Nan Hongqiu and Song Wanning went to the main hall of the temple to worship the Buddha statue above. Nan Hongqiu held the beads and murmured to himself.

After the ceremony, Nan Hongqiu pretended to take Song Wanning to find the little nun and assigned her a room.

Song Wanning was holding a bamboo slip with the number of the wing room written on it and a key in her hand. Before she followed the maid to the wing room, she heard a very familiar voice.

"Song Wanning?"

Song Wanning turned around and happened to see Lu Zijun's familiar face.

When Lu Zijun saw Song Wanning turned her head away, she immediately smiled and said to Song Wanning, "I thought it wasn't you, but it turned out to be you."

Song Wanning didn't expect to see Lu Zijun on this Red Leaf Mountain. She was surprised for a moment and just looked at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

When Lu Zijun said this, she was actually a little embarrassed. "I broke off the engagement with Erlang from the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion some time ago. I haven't found a suitable one yet, so my mother forced me to come here."
