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

After hearing this, Lu Zijun sighed and said slowly, "It seems that this is the only way now."

As soon as Lu Zijun finished speaking, she suddenly remembered what she had just said, and immediately whispered in Song Wanning's ear, "Now the story between you and Pei Xiaolangjun is spreading all over the capital, the Prime Minister must have heard about it, I wonder if he is angry with you?"

"The Prime Minister has always been reasonable. He will not get angry with me for something that he knows so well." Song Wanning smiled faintly, looking at Lu Zijun and said slowly, "Now I am just annoyed by those gossipers over there."

"So, your prime minister is really broad-minded." Lu Zijun waved his hand and continued, "I used to think he was a vindictive person, but now it seems that I misunderstood him."

"It's not... a misunderstanding." Song Wanning held her forehead and whispered to Lu Zijun, "He is indeed a vindictive person, but we are in tune with each other. He knows what I'm thinking, so he is naturally more tolerant of me. Besides, he also knows that what happened outside is nonsense."

"I don't think this is a good idea." Lu Zijun pouted and said, "No matter how close a couple is, there will always be times when they have conflicts. I heard from my mother that we should not be too confident in everything. Although there is nothing between you and Pei Xuanzhi now, you still have to explain it when it's time. Otherwise, you will regret it when it's too late to save the relationship."

After hearing what Lu Zijun said, Song Wanning had some ideas in her mind, but her expression remained unchanged. She just looked at Lu Zijun and said lightly, "I know, sister-in-law. Thanks to you for reminding me. Otherwise, I am afraid I still don't know this."

"It's good that you know." Lu Zijun smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "Now I have said what I should say, I have to go."

Song Wanning laughed and said, "I know, I know. I'll see you off."

As the two were talking, the mother outside came in and said, "Madam, the lady from the Yin Mansion is here again. I wonder what she is here for this time."

Song Wanning sighed, looked at Lu Zijun beside her and said, "I'm afraid she came to reprimand me because of the rumors outside the capital. Now that I want to regain my face in the capital, I'm afraid I still have to deal with her."

"What kind of relative dares to discipline you?" Lu Zijun's temper flared up again. "I have to see who gave her the courage to come here and act as the shopkeeper. Let her see how powerful I, the Beijing tigress, am, and then she will know whether she dares to come or not."

"Good sister-in-law, please don't." Song Wanning quickly grabbed Lu Zijun and whispered to comfort her, "Sister-in-law, you helped me once before. I didn't curse her now in order to protect my reputation. But I am like this myself, how can I watch you ruin your reputation for me?"

Lu Zijun didn't take it seriously and said immediately, "I have a bad reputation to begin with, and I don't think about redeeming it. My brother doesn't marry either. It's okay. I'll teach this old woman a lesson for you and let her know what it means to be a tiger without showing its might."

Seeing Lu Zijun like this, Song Wanning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly said, "I can take you to see him, but you must not be impulsive. My aunt may not be good at other things, but she is really good at twisting right and wrong."

"I know, I know." Lu Zijun said hurriedly, "Let's go see her now, go now."

"I understand." Song Wanning reluctantly took Lu Zijun to the front hall, and asked her mother to take Wu Junrou into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wu Junrou has become much more vigilant since she suffered a loss at the hands of Song Wanning last time. She thinks twice before speaking or doing anything, for fear that Song Wanning will seize the opportunity again.

But now that Song Wanning has such a reputation outside, Wu Junrou, as an elder, naturally has to give some advice. Otherwise, I'm afraid she will wake up in the middle of the night and hate herself for not seizing the opportunity.

When Wu Junrou arrived at the main hall, she was still dressed elegantly. Seeing Lu Zijun, she asked in surprise, "Wan Ning, this lady...is she your sister-in-law?"

"That's right." Song Wanning smiled faintly and responded softly, "It's really unfortunate that my aunt came. My sister-in-law from my mother's family happened to come to visit. After all, we are all married, so we can barely be considered a family when we get together and talk."

After hearing this, Wu Junrou just nodded slightly, but kept looking at Lu Zijun.

Lu Zijun was dressed neatly, and looked like a lady from a wealthy family. Wu Junrou sat on the chair and said slowly, "Your sister-in-law is very decent at first glance. No wonder she was able to marry into the general's mansion."

Song Wanning looked at Wu Junrou's appearance, still smiling, and said, "Aunt, what's the matter with you coming here today?"

"This..." Wu Junrou looked at Song Wanning, then looked at Lu Zijun beside her, and said meaningfully, "Now that there are outsiders here, I'm afraid it's hard to say it, right? I'm afraid if I say something, I'll make you lose face, which would be bad."

Song Wanning still smiled after hearing this, "It's okay, my sister-in-law from my mother's family is not an outsider anyway, so just say it directly, aunt."

"Well then." Wu Junrou acted like an elder and said slowly, "Wan Ning, I didn't want to get involved in this matter, but since you married into our family, you should abide by the rules of being a wife and live a good life with Yi Chen. You probably don't know what rumors are spread about you and Pei Xiaolangjun. People say that Yi Chen is a wicked man who broke up childhood sweethearts. It's so unpleasant to hear. As the prime minister's wife, you should also think about Yi Chen."

"Aunt, I'm afraid you don't know that this matter was originally a misunderstanding. If it wasn't for Young Master Pei who rescued me that day, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded by now. I didn't expect the rumors outside to turn out like this." Song Wanning's expression remained unchanged, and she only explained herself in a low voice, "Now I explain to everyone I meet, but my power is limited."

"Then you should be more well-behaved after you get married. Why does Mr. Pei keep thinking about you? Don't you think about it carefully? What hints did you give him in your words? This gives him hope." Wu Junrou now insisted that Pei Xuanzhi liked Song Wanning and was leading her into a trap.

However, Song Wanning was not fooled and just said to Wu Junrou calmly, "Aunt really doesn't know that although Pei Xuanzhi and I grew up together, we have only been friends since childhood. He saved me only because of family reasons, not because he loves me."

"Oh? Is that so?" Wu Junrou obviously didn't believe it.
