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

Pei Xuanzhi looked at Song Wanning and explained, "I just saw you at Fengxian Restaurant. It seemed like something unpleasant happened between you and the manager. I didn't expect that after you left, the restaurant manager told someone something. I saw that he looked a little strange, so I was worried that something might happen to you, so I chased after him. I didn't expect that it would come in handy."

Pei Xuanzhi glanced at the surrounding area, then looked at Song Wanning and said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. We have to go back quickly. Otherwise, when those bandits react, they will probably catch up with us again."

Song Wanning responded and led the group to the city gate. But before long, the bandits had already noticed something was wrong and chased after them. The scarred man leading the group rode a tall horse, looking like he was ready to kill them.

Pei Xuanzhi saw this and hurriedly said to Song Wanning, "Wanning, get on my horse first. I will take you into the city to get help."

Song Wanning looked at the two maids beside her. Zhuque and Caique had already turned pale from being frightened, and huddled in a corner with tears streaming down their faces. Zhuque heard Pei Xuanzhi say this and sobbed, "Madam, please leave first. Caique and I are fine. Please don't forget Zhuque and Caique after you enter the city."

Zhuque and Caique have followed Song Wanning for two lifetimes. Song Wanning would be reluctant to abandon the two maids and escape alone.

Song Wanning looked at the two maids beside her and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely be able to escape back safely."

Song Wanning had never thought that the manager would be so ruthless to kill people just because she had taken over a restaurant. She looked at Pei Xuanzhi and said, "Although the carriage is not fast, it is almost the same as riding a horse. I am afraid that the bandits will not be able to catch up so quickly. My two girls are timid. If I leave first, I don't know how scared they will be. Xuanzhi rode a fast horse to get help first, so I think nothing will go wrong."

Pei Xuanzhi looked at the large group of people following behind him and said with a frown, "It's strange. Why are there so many bandits at the foot of the capital now? It's really unexpected."

Pei Xuanzhi has been doing business outside for many years. In order to protect himself, he also learned kung fu. He thought of a way in his heart and said to Song Wanning, "Since Wanning can't let go of these two girls, why don't I stay in the carriage while Wanning rides a horse to Beijing to get help. After all, I have some kung fu skills and can protect the two girls better."

"How is this possible?" Song Wanning's eyes were slightly surprised, and then she was unwilling.

Pei Xuanzhi had helped their family a lot in the past, and the cancellation of the verbal engagement was also due to the Song family's failure to keep their promise. Pei Xuanzhi was the eldest son of the Pei family, and if anything happened to him, the Song family would not be able to bear the responsibility.

"Don't delay any longer. If we delay any longer, the people behind us might catch up with us and none of us will be able to leave."

Pei Xuanzhi was worried about Song Wanning, so he immediately reached out and pulled her onto the horse from the shaft of the carriage, and then he jumped off.

Song Wanning looked at the current scene, feeling more and more guilty, but she didn't care about anything else and rode her horse to the city gate. The horse rushed out like an arrow, and Pei Xuanzhi in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief.

Now it was less than half an hour away from the city gate. Song Wanning was worried about the people still in the carriage. She was riding a horse and riding very fast.

Pei Xuanzhi looked at the two frightened maids behind him and comforted them softly, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Caique and Zhuque both nodded, and they huddled together in the corner.

When Song Wanning arrived at the city gate, the sun had already set. She rode into the city gate on her horse and quickly found the general guarding the city. She took out the token Yin Yichen had given her and said, "I am the wife of the prime minister, the daughter of the mighty general Song Jing. There are bandits causing chaos more than ten miles outside the capital, and they have stopped my carriage. Please send someone to rescue them."

Seeing this, the leading general dared not hesitate. The mighty General Song Jing had military power in his hands, and the Prime Minister was even more powerful in the capital. If he could help the Prime Minister's wife now, he would probably have a bright future.

The general didn't care about defending the city, and only left a few soldiers. He immediately led his men and horses to the outside of the city, and sent people to the capital to ask for reinforcements. Soon, a huge group of people rushed out.

Song Wanning was now thinking about Pei Xuanzhi and the two personal maids. Uncle Liu was old, and if they fought, he would probably suffer. But now she was a woman who didn't know martial arts, so she couldn't help much.

Even so, Song Wanning was still unwilling to go back home first, and waited anxiously at the city gate.

This incident in the capital city alarmed the people in the city. Song Wanning was still waiting at the city gate, but Yin Yichen heard the news and rode a fast horse to the city gate.

"Wan Ning!" Yin Yichen quickly dismounted and looked at Song Wan Ning who was still waiting at the city gate and said anxiously, "I heard about the bandits outside the city and rushed over. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but now I'm the only one back." Song Wanning's lips were pale, she held Yin Yichen's hand, her voice trembling slightly, "You don't know, Xuanzhi stayed behind to help me, I... I don't know if anything happens to him, how should I... how should I repay him."

Yin Yichen's eyes dimmed slightly, and he hugged Song Wanning into his arms, and persuaded her in a low voice, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."

As it was getting dark, I saw a group of people coming into the city from outside not far away.

Song Wanning stuck her head out to look, and saw the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion slowly entering the city. The leading general Chen who was guarding the city saw Yin Yichen and hurriedly came forward to take credit, saying, "Prime Minister, I just saw your wife today and heard what he said, so I led the troops to quell the rebellion. When those bandits saw your large group of people, they fled in all directions. Your wife's two maids are fine, but Mr. Pei was injured. He is now in the carriage and I am afraid it will be difficult to move."

After hearing this, Song Wanning could no longer sit still and immediately lifted the curtain to take a look.

Pei Xuanzhi was half lying in the carriage, Caique and Zhuque were taking care of him. When the two maids saw Song Wanning, they rushed over and hugged her. Caique sobbed, "Madam, if it weren't for Pei Langjun, I'm afraid Zhuque and I would have been beheaded. Pei Langjun is injured in many places now, we have to go to the city to see a doctor as soon as possible."

"You are all great." Song Wanning lowered her head and looked at Pei Xuanzhi who was half lying down. He was injured and his face was very pale.

Pei Xuanzhi opened his eyes at this time, looking at Song Wanning and smiling weakly, "I said, I won't let anything happen to your maids."

Seeing Pei Xuanzhi like this, Song Wanning couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears, "Why are you so stupid?"
