Song Jing was also embarrassed when he heard what Song Wanning said. He said in a deep voice, "Your aunt finally spoke up. If I don't help, wouldn't it be disappointing to your aunt and the child? Besides, your father and the master of Bishuitang are old acquaintances. It's just a matter of a word. How can I just stand by and watch?"

Song Wanning knew that Song Jing was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. Now her aunt's family came to the capital and sought protection at the general's mansion. Moreover, her aunt's family seemed to be very clear-headed, always putting reason first, and the whole family seemed to be well-educated. Even Song Wanning was deceived in her previous life, so it was not surprising that Song Jing would say such words now.

But now, Song Wanning couldn't stand watching her aunt's family ruin the peace of her family, so she had to speak up, "Father, my aunt said before that she wanted my sister to go with me to the Prime Minister's Mansion to learn some rules and housekeeping. In that case, why not let my cousin go with me to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that you don't have to trouble your father to send her to Bishui Hall. I can teach her how to be a housekeeper now, so that she will have a job in the future."

Song Wanning now thought that it would be better for Guan Surong to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion than to stay at home. If she stayed in the General's Mansion, Song Jing and Song Lan would be unprepared and would suffer.

When Song Lan heard Song Wanning say this, he took a deep breath and said, "Sister, there are no elders in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. You and the Prime Minister have just got married, and you have added such a cousin with a different surname to your family. I'm afraid it's even more inappropriate."

"Brother... I think it's better for my cousin to go to the prime minister's residence than to stay at home."

The brother and sister were arguing when Song Jing, who was standing beside them, spoke up and said, "Why do you two treat your aunt's family like wolves and tigers? It's not surprising that the family helps each other, but why do you act as if you have suffered a great injustice?"

Song Wanning held her breath. She didn't want to say these words in front of Song Jing, but she still said to Song Jing, "Father, my aunt's family and the Song Mansion next door are real relatives. How can they be relatives to our family? If father helps them like this today, will father help my mother's relatives when they come next day? What will father do if other relatives come? It's not necessarily that my aunt's family won't go to the Song Mansion to ask for this and that. It's not necessarily that my daughter is very respectable just to come to our general's mansion. Having a place to live is already the most righteous thing."

Although what Song Wanning said made sense, Song Jing thought it lacked some human touch. Song Jing looked at his daughter and asked with some doubt, "Your aunt lived in the mansion since she was a child. She and I grew up together. When your mother was alive, she also had a close relationship with your aunt. How could she be compared with those relatives from other branches? After Wanning married the prime minister, how come she became as cold-blooded and ruthless as him, flattering the powerful and bullying the weak?"

"Father actually said that I flatter the powerful and bully the weak?" Song Wanning's expression sternened, and she stood up unhappily, "Now I see that father looks at Su Rong more like his own daughter than he does at me. If that's the case, I might as well go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. What's the point of staying here? I've simply displeased father. Father can help whoever he wants, I'm not the one who comes up with any ideas."

Song Wanning said, turned around and walked out, and said to Zhuque and Caique who were guarding outside the door, "Let's go, pack up and go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Although Zhuque and Caique were a little confused, they still followed Song Wanning back to the yard.

Song Jing and Song Lan, who were still in the main hall, looked at each other in bewilderment. Song Lan also looked at Song Jing with displeasure and said, "Father, Wan Ning was telling the truth. Why did you have to misinterpret Wan Ning? Although we are more familiar with my aunt's family, there is no need to hurt the harmony of our family for such an unrelated relative. Wan Ning finally came back, and now she was pissed off by father and left."

"Didn't I just blurt it out?" Song Jing was now a little annoyed, looking at Song Lan and said, "Why didn't you stop me when I was talking just now? Why are you being so rude now? Why don't you go and comfort your sister?"

Seeing this, Song Lan stopped arguing with Song Jing, but left the main hall to chase Song Wanning.

Song Wanning was now asking Zhuque to pack up in the bedroom, while Caique went outside to drive the carriage. Seeing this, Song Lan hurriedly spoke out to dissuade her, "My dear sister, why are you still angry with your family now? Father just spoke quickly, how could he mean that? Why did you have to leave?"

Song Wanning sighed and complained, "I now understand that if father doesn't fall, he won't wake up. It's better to let father suffer a loss. It's useless for me to say anything now. I'm afraid he will think that I have learned the Prime Minister's cold-bloodedness and don't take the powerless relatives in my family seriously."

Song Lan looked at Song Wanning's current appearance and knew that she was wronged and angry, so he could only comfort her, "Since my sister is determined to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I won't stop you. I'll take care of everything at home, so don't worry too much. Although my father values ​​his relatives, he is not stupid after all. If he is given some time, he will be able to see clearly. I'm also keeping an eye on you, brother. Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and live a good life with the Prime Minister. Things at home are just trivial matters."

After hearing what Song Lan said, Song Wanning's eyes turned red. She just nodded and said, "Big brother, please be careful with Guan Surong. Be cautious with the things she sends. Don't fall into her trap by accident. Otherwise, big brother will have no choice but to marry her. I don't like such a sister-in-law."

Song Lan stretched out his hand. "What are you talking about? No, I have another choice for your sister-in-law."

"Who?" Song Wanning immediately noticed something was wrong with Song Lan, and looked at him and asked, "Brother, do you already have someone you like? Why don't you talk to me and tell me which girl you like? It's better to decide as soon as possible, so that you won't be coveted by those who are interested."

"No." Song Lan coughed twice, but his eyes dodged to the sides.

"Really?" Song Wanning was skeptical.

While the brother and sister were arguing, they didn't know that Yin Yichen outside happened to walk into the general's mansion.

Yin Yichen was now wearing a green robe. Although it was very simple, he could be spotted at a glance.

Guan Surong usually stayed in the yard embroidering and reading, and now she was swinging on the swing in the small yard of the general's mansion with the little maid. Guan Surong saw Yin Yichen, stood up hurriedly, and walked over to him.

She gathered the hair around her ears, looked at Yin Yichen with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, are you here to take Sister Wan Ning back home today?"
