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

Song Wanning felt it was a coincidence, as she happened to be there when Lu Zijun's family came to Marquis Zhongping's mansion to cancel the engagement.

At first, Madam Wang did not want to cancel the marriage, so she called Song Wanning over and hoped that she could say a few good words for Wen Tingbo. Then Madam Lu asked her what kind of person Wen Tingbo was. Although Song Wanning was under the pressure of Madam Wang, she remembered that Lu Zijun had helped her before, so she did not lie, which made the marriage canceled.

Unexpectedly, I met Lu Zijun again by chance on this Red Leaf Mountain.

The Lu family is also a prominent family. Lu Zijun is good-looking and has good character. It should not be difficult for her to find a marriage partner. However, what Song Wanning did not expect was that Lu Zijun has not found a suitable candidate yet.

Song Wanning thought so and asked out loud, "There are so many young men in the capital for you to choose from, but there is no young man you like?"

Seeing this, Lu Zijun took Song Wanning's arm and walked into the pavilion, "Let me talk to you slowly."

Seeing this, Nan Hongqiu let Song Wanning go. If she controlled her now, she was afraid that the two would be unhappy. So she just shouted to Song Wanning, "Sister Ning, the mountain closes early now, so you should come back early, and don't delay on the road."

Song Wanning responded.

Lu Zijun glanced back at Nan Hongqiu, then turned around and said, "You're engaged, so why are you here on Red Leaf Mountain?"

Song Wanning waved her hands helplessly, "Do you think I want to come? I was just dragged here by this aunt at home. If I don't come, I'm afraid there will be more trouble."

Lu Zijun shook her head. "I see that your aunt doesn't seem to be very close to you. How could she want to take you up the mountain?"

Song Wanning just smiled without saying anything, turned to Lu Zijun and said, "Why don't you tell me about the man you didn't choose?"

"It's a long story." Lu Zijun shrugged his shoulders and sighed as he talked about it. "Now I have met many young men in the capital, even the son of the Shangshu family you met before. But these young men are really weak. When they heard that I had a bad reputation as a tigress, they wanted to run away when they saw me. I don't think I am the kind of person who only knows how to curse others. Who would have thought that with this reputation, nothing would go smoothly."

"There are some men whose family backgrounds are not as good as mine who want to marry me to bring honor to their family, but those men are all ambitious and I really don't like any of them." Lu Zijun shook her head and sighed, "So, I was driven up the mountain? Let me bathe and fast, and find a suitable husband."

Lu Zijun's words reminded Song Wanning of the banquet at Pingyuan Marquis's mansion, when Lu Zijun had helped her. At that time, she was ridiculed by Cui Xiaoxiao, a concubine, but Lu Zijun stood up for Song Wanning on the spot, so she was not completely ridiculed to the ground. Now that she saw her encounter such a thing, she naturally felt guilty.

"Zi Jun is a straightforward person, but those young men from aristocratic families don't understand." Song Wanning now wants to find a matchmaker for her. "I can help you find the type of girl Zi Jun likes."

When Lu Zijun heard this, she laughed out loud and looked at Song Wanning and said, "If a man in the capital sees you now, he won't even think of me. He'll just go to see you."

Song Wanning felt embarrassed after hearing this, and she also decided to find a matchmaker for her. She talked to Lu Zijun for a long time before returning to her room.

Who would have thought that Lu Zijun would move in with her just because they got along well.

Nan Hongqiu knew that this matter was about to explode, and hurried over to check. Seeing Song Wanning, she said, "Sister Ning, do you remember why we went up the mountain? We all came here to bathe and fast, and pray for the ancestors. If the two of you live together now, wouldn't it mean that your fasting is not sincere? If the ancestors knew about it, I'm afraid they would be angry."

Lu Zijun has always been good at talking, so she would never pay attention to Nan Hongqiu's words. Moreover, because she was already dissatisfied with Nan Hongqiu, she immediately said, "Mrs. Nan is probably meddling too much. Only you know whether you are sincere or not. Why do you do all these superficial things? Besides, if you don't go back and talk about it, how can the ancestors of the family know about this?"

"Miss Lu, you are wrong." Nan Hongqiu shook her head and forced a smile at Lu Zijun. "Now the rooms are assigned. If the nuns from the temple come to check the rooms and see the two of you in the same room, I'm afraid they will be angry. The rules of the temple are strict. Since we are here, we should follow the rules of the temple."

Now this wing room belongs to Song Wanning, and the room next to Song Wanning's wing room is for the four escorts to live in. The two maids were already following Song Wanning, and the arrival of Lu Zijun made it seem a bit crowded.

Song Wanning looked at Lu Zijun and smiled faintly, "Aunt is right. Zijun, why don't you go back to your own room and stay there. Otherwise, it will be bad if the nun outside sees you. I will talk to you later."

"Okay then." Lu Zijun responded and immediately returned to his own room.

After seeing this, Nan Hongqiu finally felt relieved and went back to rest.

However, Song Wanning saw Nan Hongqiu and felt something was wrong, so she immediately called a few escorts over, "Everyone, be alert, I'm afraid my good aunt is up to something."

The escorts all responded and returned to their rooms to rest.

Song Wanning couldn't sleep, so she took out a book to read. It was quiet outside the wing room, with an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Just at this moment, there was a very soft knock on the door outside Song Wanning's room, which was intermittent.

Song Wanning walked forward and opened the door, only to see that the person coming was Lu Zijun. She raised her eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"Didn't you say it would be later today? Isn't that a hint for me to come find you?" Lu Zijun said as she went into Song Wanning's room. She had a puzzled look in her eyes and whispered, "At this hour now, the little nun in the mountains is sneaking around outside. I wonder what she is doing."

After hearing this, Song Wanning felt that something was amiss. "It's already past the time for the nuns to come for inspection, and they're here?"

As soon as Song Wanning finished speaking, Lu Zijun pulled her to one end of the room. Song Wanning wanted to ask questions, but she saw two figures standing outside, stealthily in front of Song Wanning's door, not knowing what they were doing.

I saw that someone had made a hole in the paper window on the wall, and soon a very thin tube was inserted into it.
