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

Lu Mansion.

Song Wanning had never set foot in the Lu Mansion in her past life or this life. Now that she was married to Yin Yichen, she came here as the prime minister's wife, and she felt that her mood was particularly different.

She got off the carriage and saw Lu Zijun standing at the door waving at her from afar. Song Wanning smiled gently and followed Lu Zijun into the Lu family mansion.

Lu Zijun smiled happily at Song Wanning, hugged her arm and walked into the mansion, "I'm so bored at home every day, so I asked you to come and talk to me. I thought you would be very busy now that you are the prime minister's wife, but fortunately you still have time to come and keep the appointment."

"You don't have anything important to tell me now?" Song Wanning was a little surprised now. She looked at Lu Zijun and chuckled, "I thought you called me here because you wanted to discuss something important with me."

Lu Zijun lowered her head shyly and smiled at Song Wanning, "No, it's nothing serious. I just asked you to come over and talk to me."

"Well."

Song Wanning followed Lu Zijun as she passed by the corridor, but unexpectedly met a man in a green robe at the pavilion. This man was Lu Zijun's brother Lu Dejun.

Seeing her brother, Lu Zijun hurriedly asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

“I…” Lu Dejun was about to speak, but his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Song Wanning beside Lu Zijun, a light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said, “Miss Ning is here?”

Seeing her brother being so unruly, Lu Zijun immediately said, "Brother, now that Wan Ning is married to the Prime Minister, she has to call him Madam Song. This is really unruly. Mother always says that you are better at learning rules than me, but I don't think so now."

Lu Dejun also realized that he had spoken out of turn, and immediately smiled at Song Wanning, and said with a cupped hand, "Lu Dejun, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, greets Madam Song."

"Okay, okay, I'm going to talk to Wan Ning. You can go wherever you want." Lu Zijun waved at Lu Dejun and led Song Wan Ning to the inner courtyard.

Song Wanning remembered that she had only briefly met Lu Dejun in her previous life. He was already 28 years old and had not yet married. The Lu family had a son and a daughter, neither of whom were married. It was no wonder that Mr. Lu and his wife were anxious.

Lu Dejun is a humble person with great talent, and he has the qualities of a powerful official.

Song Wanning was curious and asked Lu Zijun, "I see that your brother works in the Imperial Academy and has a promising future. He is also a handsome man. Why doesn't he have a marriage contract yet?"

Lu Zijun waved her hand at Song Wanning, "How should I know? He doesn't like any of the girls his family has shown him. His parents can't do anything about him."

Song Wanning nodded slightly, which allowed Lu Zijun to see what Song Wanning was wearing.

She has a superior swan neck, and she looks good in a high-necked dress, which makes Lu Zijun a little surprised. "I rarely see you wearing a dress like this, it looks good on you."

Song Wanning's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and she just smiled to cover it up, "But I feel like I haven't worn it for a while, so I took it out and wore it."

Lu Zijun nodded slightly and sighed towards Song Wanning, "I really envy you. You look good in any dress."

The two entered the inner courtyard, and Lu Zijun specially asked her maid to brew the best Longjing tea for Song Wanning to taste.

Lu Zijun mentioned that her nanny in the suburbs of Beijing had said something unpleasant that day, and now she hurried to apologize to Song Wanning, "Wanning, when we came down from Red Leaf Mountain that day, the nanny at home was anxious and spoke without thinking. I asked my mother to punish her when I came back, and I hope Wanning doesn't take it to heart."

Song Wanning just smiled and took a sip of the teacup, "If I took it to heart, I wouldn't be here to drink tea with you now."

When Lu Zijun heard Song Wanning say this, a smile appeared on her face.

The two drank tea for a while, and Lu Zijun smiled and asked Song Wanning tentatively, "I'm bored staying in this yard every day, and there's nothing good to do. Wanning, do you know if there's any good place in the capital where I can go to kill time?"

"If you're talking about a place, I do know one." Song Wanning actually told Lu Zijun the information he wanted, and only chuckled and said, "My eldest brother was stuffed into the Bishui Hall by my father a few days ago, and was told to go in and learn poetry, songs, and statecraft. As far as I know, the Bishui Hall in the capital is not only open to men, but also to women. If you feel bored, it's good to go there and talk to the ladies in the capital. Now there are many young men in the capital, and maybe there is one you like. If so, isn't it a good thing?"

After hearing what Song Wanning said, Lu Zijun almost jumped up from her chair and smiled at Song Wanning, "What you said is a good idea. I will tell my mother tomorrow that I want to study at Bishui Hall."

Song Wanning smiled faintly, looking at Lu Zijun's bright smile, and said, "Tell me, you really don't have anything important to hide from me?"

Lu Zijun shook his head like a rattle, "No, nothing."

When Song Wanning saw Lu Zijun's expression, she knew that she had something on her mind that she didn't want to say, so she didn't ask any more questions. The two chatted for a while, but unexpectedly, Lu Dejun, who had just left, turned back and stood at the door and said to Lu Zijun, "Sister, mother wants you to come over."

"What do you want me to do? Can't you see I have guests right now?" Lu Zijun pouted and stood up reluctantly. "Brother, please tell mother that Wan Ning is here. I'll go later."

Lu Dejun smiled at his sister and said, "I don't know what important thing mother is talking about. You know mother's temper. If I don't go quickly, I won't be able to bear the fact that mother will be angry."

Seeing that Lu Zijun was busy now, Song Wanning also said, "If Zijun has something to do, why don't you just stop here today. I still have a lot of things to do in the mansion now, so I'm just waiting for us to get together again in the future."

Although Lu Zijun was a little reluctant, she had to compromise and said, "Okay then."

As Lu Zijun spoke, he looked up at Lu Dejun and said, "Brother, please send Wan Ning off for me."

Lu Dejun stood aside, with a perfect smile on his face, "Okay."

Lu Zijun now only felt that her brother's speech was strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange. But thinking about her mother's temper, she ran away in a flash.

Now only Lu Dejun and Song Wanning were left in the yard. Song Wanning walked out, and Lu Dejun followed her and said in a low voice, "Miss Ning, please."

Before Song Wanning could say that Lu Dejun didn't need to send her off, Lu Dejun had already spoken, "Miss Ning, do you still remember me?"
