Song Wanning was followed by Pei Xuanzhi on the street like a dog-skin plaster. Song Wanning sighed and looked at Pei Xuanzhi, "You can just go shopping by yourself. You haven't been back to the capital for so many years. Didn't you say you haven't seen many things?"

Pei Xuanzhi curled his lips and said calmly, "My uncle told me to follow you closely, so what's the matter with me going out alone?"

Song Wanning gave Pei Xuanzhi a comforting smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell Dad the truth when I get back, just go shopping."

"No, no." Pei Xuanzhi kept shaking his head. The two of them gradually arrived at a crowded place in the capital and were about to be separated from Song Wanning.

Pei Xuanzhi quickly squeezed over and shouted, "Sister Wan Ning, wait for me, I'm scared!"

Pei Xuanzhi had just arrived in front of Song Wanning when he saw her staring blankly at a teahouse not far away. Pei Xuanzhi followed Song Wanning's gaze and saw a man sitting in the teahouse. Although he was only dressed in white, it was not difficult to tell that he looked very noble.

Pei Xuanzhi looked at the man's face and felt that he looked vaguely familiar.

Pei Xuanzhi had a bad feeling in his heart, so he leaned closer and whispered, "Who is that?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up." Song Wanning turned around hurriedly and pushed Pei Xuanzhi back.

Pei Xuanzhi rarely saw Song Wanning anxious, and he became more and more curious, "Who is that person? Why did he scare Sister Wanning so much?"

Song Wanning sighed and looked back. Seeing that there was no one in the teahouse, she dared to speak. She said to Pei Xuan, "Now he is the living king of hell in the imperial court of the capital. Anyone who touches him will be in trouble."

Song Wanning was not afraid of meeting Yin Yichen now, but she was afraid that Yin Yichen would reveal the fact that they were partners in front of Pei Xuanzhi. If that happened, Song Wanning would be seriously injured.

"The living devil?" Pei Xuanzhi stood in front of Song Wanning with his arms folded, and asked in amazement, "Could he be the legendary Prime Minister Yin Yichen?"

"That's right." Song Wanning said, not buying any more cloth or jewelry, and got on the carriage. "The Prime Minister is usually very busy, but now he has time to come to this teahouse to drink tea. It's really rare."

Pei Xuanzhi looked at Song Wanning's expression and expressed his doubts, "I think Wanning is very familiar with the Prime Minister."

"How could that be possible? How could a big shot like Prime Minister Yin be so familiar with a girl like me?" Song Wanning pretended to be relaxed and smiled, and explained in a low voice, "It's just that when I was getting divorced at the Marquis Zhongping's mansion, the Prime Minister happened to be there. Now that I think about it, the Prime Minister helped me a lot at that time, which allowed me to get a smooth divorce."

Pei Xuanzhi nodded in understanding, "I see."

Pei Xuanzhi said, looking at Song Wanning who had gained nothing, he comforted her, "I was going to buy some cloth and jewelry today, but now I can't bring anything back. I'll just go out with you another day to buy a few important things."

Song Wanning just laughed softly and said, "There's no rush for this."

It was still early when the two returned to the general's mansion. Song Wanshi had already prepared her specialty fruit and was waiting in Song Lan's yard, watching the two return to the mansion.

Although Song Wanshi was jealous, she wanted to appear cute and lovely, so she walked towards Pei Xuanzhi with the fruit in her hand and said with a smile, "Xuanzhi, this is the popular fruit in the capital now. I heard that the fruits in Jiangnan are different from those in the capital, so I made this plate of fruit and sent it to Xuanzhi to try."

Pei Xuanzhi was very annoyed and just glanced at Song Wanshi coldly, "I don't like sweet food."

Seeing Song Wanning pretending to be well-behaved, she almost laughed out loud, but she still pretended to be serious and said, "In that case, I will go back first. Sister Shi and Mr. Lang can have a good chat."

Pei Xuanzhi saw Song Wanning's indifferent look and was furious. He immediately came up with a good idea. He looked at Song Wanning and said with a smile, "Sister Wanning, didn't you just say that you had sold some delicious tea for me to taste? Why do you want to leave now?"

"When did I..." Song Wanning was a little confused now, and she realized in an instant that she had been dragged away by Pei Xuanzhi to be a scapegoat.

"I really don't like sweet food. Sister Wanshi, just enjoy it by yourself. I'm afraid I don't have the chance to enjoy it." Pei Xuanzhi said, smiled, waved his hand and ran towards Song Wanning's yard.

Song Wanning was now unable to do anything to him, so she had to bite the bullet and go back to her own yard under Song Wanshi's gaze.

When Song Wanning returned to her own courtyard, Pei Xuanzhi was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea leisurely. Seeing Pei Xuanzhi like this, Song Wanning was furious and just looked at him and said, "You got away, but I'm afraid Song Wanshi hates me to death now."

After Song Wanning finished speaking, she took the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, and took a sip with a sigh.

Pei Xuanzhi had always known where Song Wanning's weakness was, so he said slowly, "As the saying goes, when you see injustice, you should draw your sword to help. I helped you so many times when we were little. You are only helping me once now. I'm afraid it's not too much, right?"

"That being said." Song Wanning still said unhappily, "Wanshi is in love with you right now. If I get close to you, I'm afraid she will think of me as an imaginary enemy. If you don't want to associate with her, just make it clear."

Pei Xuanzhi chuckled twice and waved his hand towards Song Wanning, "Is what I said not clear enough now?"

"This……"

Pei Xuanzhi sniffed the tea in his cup and said, "Once I get engaged, I probably won't have such troubles anymore."

Song Wanning was in no position to respond, so she just picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then evaded the question, "That's how it should be."

Pei Xuanzhi looked at Song Wanning's lowered eyes. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyes. How could he not be moved? Pei Xuanzhi's heart moved. He looked at Song Wanning and said jokingly, "Wanning, I heard that now my uncle wants you and me to get married."

Song Wanning raised her head and smiled softly, saying sincerely, "Xuanzhi, you know, I've been married once, and you are now at the best age, you can match a better person. Father is just worried about me, you don't have to take his words to heart, whatever path you want to take, whatever person you want to marry, when the fate is right, it will come naturally. You are not old now, don't worry."

"I've told you that you're the bravest girl in the world for turning back in time after meeting the wrong person." Pei Xuanzhi paused, looked at Song Wanning and said, "How can you say you're not worthy of me? Wanning, if my family comes to propose marriage to you, will you be willing to marry me?"

"I..." Before Song Wanning could speak, she was interrupted by Pei Xuanzhi.
