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

Yin Yichen stared straight at Song Wanning's face. Under the dim light of the lantern, her cheeks glowed as bright as a crabapple.

Yin Yichen looked at it and just smiled teasingly, "If it's boring, then why are you blushing?"

Song Wanning just glanced back at Yin Yichen and pursed her lips, "I... I don't..."

Song Wanning's face now looked particularly charming under the light, an extremely attractive color. Yin Yichen's heart moved, and he remembered the day when he saw Song Wanning and Pei Xuanzhi walking in the downtown area, the two of them playing and joking, and Song Wanning's face was so lively, which made Yin Yichen think about it for a long time.

Now, Song Wanning had already let down her guard without realizing it, and she had no defenses against Yin Yichen. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been beaten out of the carriage by now, and there was no way he would be able to ride in the same carriage with her after kissing her, or chat and joke with her along the way.

This idea pleased Yin Yichen. When he saw Song Wanning's reaction, he laughed softly in a very good mood. The sound flowed into Song Wanning's ears, making Song Wanning feel novel.

Yin Yichen usually doesn't smile, and when he laughs, it's always a cold laugh. It's rare to see him laugh so happily. Song Wanning saw stars in Yin Yichen's eyes, which made her feel happy.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Wanning only heard the owner of the star say, "If you keep looking at me like this, I'm going to think you're hinting that you're interested in me."

Song Wanning came back to her senses and quickly turned her head to the side, no longer looking at Yin Yichen, but her face became redder, "No, you saw it wrong."

The night was quiet, with only the sound of wheels and cicadas. Song Wanning sat on a cushion in a cloak, and next to her sat the Prime Minister Yin Yichen, who was feared by officials in the capital. But Song Wanning was not afraid at all. She didn't even know why, but a faint sense of comfort rose from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't tell what it felt like.

But Song Wanning knew clearly in her heart that at this moment, she didn't want Yin Yichen to leave so soon.

"Ning Ning."

Yin Yichen quietly changed the address, which made Song Wanning's ears blush.

Song Wanning blushed and turned to look around, only to find Yin Yichen very close to her. His voice was extremely charming in the dark night, "Actually... you have me in your heart, right?"

Song Wanning took a deep breath when she heard Yin Yichen say that. She forced herself to remain calm and said in a deep voice, "I don't like it. Prime Minister, don't be so self-indulgent."

Yin Yichen was not angry at Song Wanning's words. Just as he was about to speak, Zhuque outside the carriage spoke, "Miss, now that the moon is out, I don't need to turn on the lamp. Can I get into the carriage?"

Song Wanning's heart rose to her throat after hearing what Zhuque said. She quickly said, "Okay, wait a moment."

Suzaku responded from outside.

Song Wanning was really anxious now, and hurriedly said to Yin Yichen, "Don't stay here, leave quickly, otherwise I'm afraid that the people under my command will find out, and you won't be able to clear yourself even if you jump into the Yellow River."

What Song Wanning fears most now is that Song Lan's close associates will see it. If Song Jing finds out, he will probably skin her alive.

Yin Yichen sat still in the carriage, and refused to move even though Song Wanning pushed him. He just said calmly, "Then call me Yichen, and I'll leave."

Song Wanning's face was now red, and she glared at Yin Yichen, but such a look had no killing power at all for Yin Yichen. He sat on the cushion motionless, as if he would stay there until Song Wanning called him.

Song Wanning really couldn't do anything to Yin Yichen now, so she could only blush and whisper, "Yi...Yichen."

Yin Yichen chuckled and quickly reached out to hold Song Wanning's cushioned palm. "See you at Putuo Temple, Ningning."

After Yin Yichen finished speaking, he opened the curtain of the carriage and disappeared into the moonlight right under the eyes of the sleepy Suzaku.

Zhuque shuddered, turned around and shouted to Song Wanning inside, "Girl, can I come in now?"

Song Wanning took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone as calm as possible, and then said to Suzaku outside, "Come in."

Zhuque got into the carriage upon hearing the sound, and immediately saw Song Wanning's blushing cheeks. He couldn't help but ask, "Why is your face so red?"

Song Wanning raised her hand and gently touched her face. Her face was very hot. She coughed softly and said, "Maybe it's because the weather is too hot."

"Girl, lie down and get some sleep." Zhuque yawned and said to Song Wanning, "If you don't sleep now, it will be dawn soon."

"Yeah." Song Wanning lay back on the cushion of the carriage. She raised her hand and saw that the warmth of Yin Yichen's fingers still seemed to remain on her fingertips. He held her hand so quickly that Song Wanning had no time to react.

But for some reason, Song Wanning didn't feel offended by such frivolous actions and words. She thought of what Yin Yichen had just said.

His cold voice seemed to still be in my ears, "Actually... you have me in your heart, right?"

When Song Wanning came to her senses, she realized that her cheeks were even hotter than before. She sighed, feeling resentful of herself for being distracted.

Song Wanning fell asleep leaning on the cushion, and suddenly returned to her childhood in her dream.

Song Wanning lost her mother when she was young. Song Jing often led troops to fight outside, and Song Lan was a boy. Song Jing followed the principle that boys should be kept by his side and endure hardships, so he asked Song Lan to follow him everywhere.

Because of this, Song Wanning had to stay alone in the general's mansion and live with Song Wanshi and Song Wanxiu. Nan Hongqiu was partial and did not teach Song Wanning much.

Fortunately, Mrs. Pei of the Pei family was a good person. Song Wanning often went to the Pei family to stay with Mrs. Pei and listened to many truths. Later, she did not go astray, thanks to Mrs. Pei's teachings.

The Pei family and the Song family are old friends. Song Wanning often goes to the Pei mansion to play. The Pei family has an only son, Pei Xuanzhi, who is only one year older than Song Wanning, but he is a naughty child because he is spoiled.

Although he is naughty, he is not a bad person at heart and always has money to buy various fruits and snacks on the street.

Song Wanning was scolded by Nan Hongqiu, and she ran into Pei's house crying and complained to Pei Xuanzhi. Pei Xuanzhi felt sorry for Song Wanning and handed her the fruit he had just bought to comfort her.

Song Wanning discovered the benefits of complaining and couldn't stop. No matter if she was scolded or not, she would go to Pei Xuanzhi and cry and ask him to give her some fruit.

And one day, it was a cold winter, Song Wanning was on her way to Pei's house as usual, but she saw a ragged little beggar lying in the alley.
