These killers were well-trained. When they saw the carriage in front, they wanted to give a signal. However, the carriage running forward encountered a thick rope across the front, and all the horses fell forward at once.

At this moment, Xique jumped out from the bushes, and the soft sword in his hand shuttled back and forth among several killers. After a while, all the killers fell to the ground.

Xique threw the bodies of the killers into the grass nearby, then picked a horse and went to chase Song Wanning.

Song Wanning usually lives a life of luxury in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is rare for her to go out with only a very small number of people like today.

Song Wanning looked at Pei Xuanzhi beside her and sighed, "It's hard for you to accompany me on this journey. I thank you in my heart."

"Why should we be so polite to each other?" Pei Xuanzhi looked at Song Wanning's determined eyes and finally spoke his mind. "Wanning, I have been thinking about you for so many years. Even when you became the prime minister's wife, I never forgot you. You were married to Wen Tingbai of the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion because of your family's arrangement. I was angry at myself for not coming to the capital earlier and letting you marry him and live that kind of life. I thought later that I would definitely save you from the fire when I came to the capital, but who knew that I heard the news of your divorce before I even came to the capital. You don't know how happy I was at that time."

Song Wanning watched Pei Xuanzhi talking about these flowers. She didn't dare to interrupt him and just looked at his serious expression.

Pei Xuanzhi sat in the carriage and continued, "Later, I wanted to marry you, but I couldn't stand the prime minister's calculations. I always felt that it was the prime minister who was interfering. Otherwise, you could marry me and we could live together in the capital, which would be great. So I also had fantasies in my heart. The prime minister is so arrogant, maybe you will regret marrying him soon. But I didn't expect that after you got married with the prime minister, you actually treated him as an equal. I was so envious and jealous. Later, I was always in my heart. I had fantasies, thinking that you would come to me one day. Or maybe I thought... the Prime Minister was so arrogant and domineering that he had many enemies in the capital. If the Prime Minister got into trouble one day, I would just stand up and save the beauty, and I would be able to marry you. But this time the Pei family got into trouble. The Prime Minister was still willing to help me, and I realized that I was too narrow-minded, selfish, and only wanted to be with you. Now I look at my previous face, and I look down on myself a little. "

Pei Xuanzhi said, laughing softly, and said to Song Wanning, "I followed you out this time, and saw you running around to save the prime minister. Then I realized that you two are a perfect match, and I am just a passer-by in your life. You were such an outstanding person in the past, and now you are married to the prime minister. It is the most important thing for you to be together with him."

Pei Xuanzhi sighed and looked at Song Wanning, "Wanning, I'm going to let it go. As soon as the Prime Minister is fine, our family will go back to the south. Business in the capital is too risky, and our family no longer does the grain business. We are just waiting to go back to Jiangnan. By then, our family will live together, and I believe life will be better than in the capital."

After hearing this, Song Wanning looked at Pei Xuanzhi and said, "Xuanzhi, I am very happy that you can think clearly. I am just waiting for me to return to Jiangnan with the child in the future. You must not fail to see me."

"Of course." Pei Xuanzhi smiled softly, looked at Song Wanning and said, "Wanning, no matter what, I'm very happy to meet you."

Song Wanning also smiled faintly, and the two sat opposite each other, without saying a word for a while.

After a while, Song Wanning heard the sound of horse hooves behind her, and turned back to look, just in time to see Xi Que riding a horse towards her from behind.

Song Wanning looked at Xi Que's appearance, and her worries were finally put to rest. She asked softly, "Are you not injured?"

"Madam, I am not hurt." Xique looked at Song Wanning with a faint smile.

Song Wanning looked at Xi Que's expression and said directly, "I'm afraid this horse is not easy to ride right now. Why don't you get on the carriage and let's go back to the capital together."

After hearing this, Xique also responded, then got off the horse and got into Song Wanning's carriage.

Song Wanning and her group encountered several killers along the way, but they dealt with them one by one.

When Song Wanning returned to the capital, Xi Que was slightly injured, but fortunately it was not serious. Song Wanning went straight into the palace with something in her hand.

After listening to Song Wanning's words, the queen finally smiled and said to Song Wanning, "The Prime Minister's wife is indeed worthy of her reputation. I said at the beginning that you must be someone who can handle things, and now I see that it is true."

After hearing this, Song Wanning just smiled faintly and said to the queen, "I just did a little thing. The most important thing is that someone has already found out."

After hearing this, the Queen looked at Song Wanning and nodded, "I will do the rest. I won't bother you, Madam. You have been traveling all the way and you need to rest well."

Song Wanning nodded and came out of the Queen's palace.

At this time, the capital city was extremely lively.

Wu Junrou really called four or five elders of the Yin family and went to the prime minister's mansion with her. Wu Junrou now had several elders around her, and she must have been very proud at this moment. She entered the courtyard of the prime minister's mansion with Mother Shen beside her.

As soon as Wu Junrou entered the house, she ran into Lu Zijun. Seeing Wu Junrou, Lu Zijun was even more furious and said on the spot, "Wu Junrou, how dare you come here? Who do you think you are? You come to the Prime Minister's Mansion again and again, do you really think this is your home?"

As soon as Lu Zijun finished speaking, Madam Lu on the side scolded her, "Zijun, shut up."

Madam Lu said as she stepped forward and looked at Wu Junrou and said, "Madam Yin, you must have something to do when you came to the Prime Minister's Mansion today. My daughter has been spoiled since she was a child and is quick-tongued. Please don't bother with my daughter."

Wu Junrou sneered after hearing this, "Madam Lu, your daughter slapped me a few days ago. Madam, why don't you teach your daughter a lesson and teach her some manners?"

After hearing this, Madam Lu said to Wu Junrou beside her, "I'm afraid you have misunderstood. My daughter is always quick-witted, but she won't take action easily. I'm afraid she just accidentally touched Madam's face a few days ago. Please don't take it personally."
