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

Song Jing nodded, looked at Song Wanning and said earnestly, "If you are in the capital now, I am afraid that the Prime Minister will come to propose marriage. If you are out of the capital and not at home, even if the Prime Minister brings people, Daddy still has a reason to refuse. And Putuo Temple is outside the capital, it takes two days to get there by car. Yin Yichen is the Prime Minister, and he has to deal with official duties like the sea every day. He can't reach Putuo Mountain, so our family can wait for Xuanzhi to come back safely."

Seeing Song Jing being so cautious, Song Wanning was thinking about the business in the capital and didn't want to go too far, so she discussed with Song Jing, "Dad, since Prime Minister Yin has reached the center, he can't forcefully seize a commoner's daughter. There is no such thing as forcing a cow to drink water. I don't want to be too far away from the capital."

Seeing that Song Wanning was particularly persistent in saying this, Song Jing just shook his head and said, "Wanning, Yin Yichen is definitely not as upright as he looks. You should believe your father. If you were in the capital, I wonder what he would do at this moment."

After hearing what Song Jing said, Song Wanning recalled the time when they were in the carriage and she wanted to break up, but Yin Yichen didn't want to and kissed her.

Song Wanning just felt her face getting hot now, and she also felt that what Song Jing said made some sense. She actually overestimated Yin Yichen.

Song Wanning sighed in her heart, feeling that she could not escape Yin Yichen's grasp. But when she thought about it carefully, she and Yin Yichen had no connection in their past and present lives. Why was Yin Yichen so persistent in marrying her? Was it just because she could make money?

The Yin family has made great contributions for three generations, and Yin Yichen is now in a high position. I am afraid he is not someone who lacks money to spend. But if so, why is that?

Song Wanning was thinking about it when Song Jing interrupted her and patiently advised, "Wanning, your aunt wrote back a few days ago, and she still missed you in the letter. You might as well take this opportunity to catch up with your aunt."

Song Wanning couldn't refuse now, so she just responded quietly, looked at Song Jing and said, "I understand. Since father said so, I will go to Putuo Mountain. At this time of year, I'm afraid the peach blossoms in Putuo Mountain are in bloom, so I can go and take a look."

Seeing that Song Wanning had relaxed, Song Jing finally smiled. He looked at Song Wanning and said, "If that's the case, then you should leave for Putuo Mountain tomorrow. Don't let your aunt wait too long."

"I understand, Dad." Song Wanning responded, "Now I still have some things to do in my house, and I'm just waiting for Caique to stay in the house to help me. I will just take Zhuque with me."

"Putuo Mountain is a place for spiritual practice, so it's not advisable to bring too many people with you." Song Jing nodded with satisfaction, "Lan'er, let your sister take the skilled ones with you to prevent any accidents along the way."

Song Lan raised his hand to wipe his nose, and discussed with Song Jing, "I know, father. If there is nothing else in the army, I can personally send my sister there. But it's just the same things, why don't I take a leave and accompany my sister there."

Song Jing immediately saw through Song Lan's thoughts and rolled his eyes at her. "Why are you going? There are still a lot of things waiting for you to do. Don't think about being lazy and playing."

Seeing this, Song Wanning also laughed out loud, and looked at Song Lan and said, "Brother, since you are busy with military affairs, just go and do your work. You don't have to accompany me."

Song Wanning added, "In that case, I still have some things to tell my people to do, so hurry up and pack your luggage."

"Okay, if you need anything, just tell daddy, and daddy will ask your elder brother to go out and buy it." Song Jing said, pushing Song Lan and saying, "Hurry up, there are still a lot of official business waiting for you to do in the study."

"Daddy is too partial. Wan Ning can go to see my aunt, but I have to stay in this house to do those boring chores." Song Lan curled his lips and protested in a low voice, "I think if Wan Ning and I go together, my aunt will definitely be very happy."

Song Jing patted Song Lan on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "I have just made an appointment with several families in the capital, and I am just waiting for you to meet them. You actually want to leave at this critical moment? Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?"

When Song Wanning heard what Song Jing said, she smiled and shook her head. Now, neither of them, brother and sister, could escape the marriage discussion.

Song Lan is handsome and has military merits. He now holds a high position in the General's Mansion. I am afraid that there will be more and more nobles waiting to meet Song Lan.

Thinking so, Song Wanning went into the house and told Caique about the current affairs of the tea merchants.

The first batch of tea was about to arrive, and Song Wanning would be worried if she didn't have a confidant to look after the tea. Now that she was going on a long journey, she had no choice but to leave a personal maid behind to help her deal with the tea.

Song Wanning gave instructions for everything she could think of, and then watched the maid under her pack her luggage.

It was just getting dark when Pei Xuanzhi arrived at Song Wanning's yard. The maid outside called Song Wanning out, and as soon as she opened the curtain, she saw Pei Xuanzhi standing in front of the door, looking at her with a smile.

It was Song Wanning who spoke first, "Are you going back to Jiangnan tomorrow?"

Pei Xuanzhi nodded slightly and continued with a smile, "I heard from my uncle that you are going to stay in Putuo Mountain for a while tomorrow?"

Song Wanning responded, "Yes, no matter how much you persuade me, I won't stay in the capital. I have no choice. Since you want me to go so much, then I will go."

Pei Xuanzhi looked at Song Wanning's appearance and said softly, "I'm going to Jiangnan now, and it will take almost two months for me to come back."

Song Wanning nodded slightly and said calmly, "There are all kinds of people on this road, so be careful not to get cheated."

"Got it. I'll be careful." Pei Xuanzhi's smile deepened. He looked at Song Wanning and said, "Wanning, wait for me to come back. I have something to tell you."

"it is good."

The next morning, Pei Xuanzhi and Song Wanning both went out. Pei Xuanzhi rushed to Jiangnan, while Song Wanning got on a carriage to Putuo Mountain.

Song Jing was planning to take advantage of the opportunity to attend court and stare at Yin Yichen and mock him harshly, but who would have thought that Yin Yichen did not show up until the end of the court.

This really made Song Jing dumbfounded. He found the official from the Ministry of Rites and started a conversation. "Prime Minister Yin has always been present at the morning court. Why is he not here now? This is really unlike the Prime Minister's style."

When the official from the Ministry of Rites saw that it was Song Jing, he was not stingy in telling Song Jing the reason, "Prime Minister Yin is ill and sent someone to ask for leave early in the morning. I'm afraid he is too busy on weekdays and has become ill."

Song Jing was a little bit surprised, "Take a leave?"

"That's right. The emperor feels sorry for the prime minister and has ordered him to rest for half a month. All the work under him has been assigned to other officials."

Song Jing had a bad feeling in his heart and quickly left the palace.
