In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Song Qinghong was strictly protected as soon as she returned to Kyoto, and she never left the house after her return.

Although she couldn't go out, Song Yuanbai was very kind to her and would bring back many fun things for her every day.

Song Qinghong grew up in Kyoto. She was tired of seeing all the things Song Yuanbai brought back. After returning to Kyoto, Song Qinghong became depressed and often thought of Shen Jiayu who was far away in Ningyuan City.

From the moment she received Shen Jiayu's letter, she was both worried and expectant. She was worried about Shen Jiayu's health and wanted her to have a good rest on the road, but she also hoped that Shen Jiayu could come to Kyoto as soon as possible.

Song Qinghong estimated that based on her pace when she returned home, they would be here soon. Then she thought that Shen Jiayu and his group were fewer in number and might come faster, so she asked Qu Chi to wait outside the city a few days in advance and tell her as soon as there was any news.

Song Qinghong was admiring the flowers in the yard, but her beautiful eyes, as gentle as water, kept wandering around the door, as if she was waiting for someone.

After a while, a maid in light blue clothes came in and reported to her, "Miss, the eldest master is back, and the master sent someone to call him to the hall."

Song Qinghong slowly stood up and walked out gracefully and calmly. The anxiety in her eyes revealed her true thoughts, "Well, go down."

Luqi followed her to the hall. When they were still some distance away from the door, Song Qinghong stopped, bowed slightly towards the hall, and waited for the people inside to speak. This distance was just enough for the people inside to notice her, but not enough for them to hear the whispered conversation inside.

Prime Minister Song spotted his little girl at a glance, and waved to her with a smile on his face, "Qing'er, come in, it's okay."

After hearing what his father said, Song Yuanbai quickly stood up and brought Song Qinghong, who was standing outside the door, in.

"I have nothing important to do today. I just chatted with my father for a while and was about to go find you."

Song Qinghong: "I miss my brother. I want to come and see him sooner."

The first half of the sentence was true, but the second half was false. She wanted to come here earlier to find out about Shen Jiayu's news. If possible, she also wanted to take this opportunity to go out.

No one knows a son better than his father, and no one knows a daughter better than her father. Prime Minister Song saw through Song Qinghong's thoughts at a glance. She was not thinking about this, but wanted to ask for something.

"After you came back, you have been staying at home and meeting your brother every day. Don't you miss your brother and me, your old father?" Prime Minister Song joked.

"Father, you're joking. I didn't mean that. I miss you too. I just..." Song Qinghong hurriedly explained, but was interrupted by Prime Minister Song.

"Okay, I'm just kidding you, Qing'er. You haven't left home since you returned to Kyoto. Now all the friends you made outside and the people who have done you a favor have come to Kyoto. You should entertain them well. They are new to Kyoto and there must be many places they are not familiar with. Talk to them more about the twists and turns of Kyoto and don't make fun of them."

After Prime Minister Song's words, Song Qinghong's eyes sparkled, "Thank you, father. I will find a good day to go find them."

Song Yuanbai objected, "No, my sister is the daughter of the Prime Minister. If she rashly goes out to meet someone of unknown origin, it would be very dangerous if the other party has ill intentions."

Prime Minister Song waved his hand and said to Song Yuanbai, "It is precisely because she is the daughter of the Prime Minister that you should be careful when treating your lifesaver. You promised Qing'er to send them to Jindingxuan and asked Manager Li to receive them personally. In the eyes of outsiders, they are all coveted items that can be connected to the Prime Minister's Mansion. With such a big fanfare, Qing'er must go even if she doesn't want to. Otherwise, where will their safety be? You know how dangerous the capital is."

Prime Minister Song didn't say the second half of his words, he just gave Song Yuanbai a look, they understood each other.

Qu Chi sent a pigeon to report what happened last night to Song Yuanbai right away. He knew everything that happened in Jindingxuan. He agreed to Song Qinghong's decision to let Wen Xiangzhu and his group live in Jindingxuan, not because he wanted to make them live comfortably, but because he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

He doesn't believe in the drama of chance encounter and rescue, it's all a trick.

Song Qinghong has always been very obedient. If her father and brother don't want her to go out, it's all for her own good and she will accept this outcome.

Song Yuanbai pursed his lips and looked at Song Qinghong who was expectant. The look in his eyes was ambiguous. Then he smiled at Song Qinghong and touched her head. "Go, brother is thinking too much. I will let Qu Chi follow you. If you feel something is wrong, you must call for help in time."

Although he finally relented, Prime Minister Song could see that there was still some displeasure in his eyes.

After Song Qinghong received permission from her father and brother, she couldn't stop her joy and happiness. Even her brows were filled with delight. When she walked out of the hall towards her room, the cleaning servants who passed by could see that she was in a very good mood.

She went back to her room to change her clothes, and couldn't wait to go out and meet Shen Jiayu.

I rode in a carriage all the way to Jindingxuan, and from time to time I lifted the window curtains to see where I was.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and there was a cry of surprise and a commotion outside.

Song Qinghong was thinking about looking for Shen Jiayu. When the carriage stopped, she thought she had arrived and stood up to go out. Luqi stopped her and whispered, "Miss, she hasn't arrived yet. I'll go check on her. Please sit still."

Luqi opened the carriage door and walked out to take a look, only to see Song Qinghong's mortal enemy, He Congshuang, the daughter of Duke Dingguo.

He Congshuang had her hair tied up high and was wearing a white riding suit. She was riding a horse on the street. When she saw Song Qinghong's carriage, she rushed over with a sly smile on her face and stopped her carriage.

"Hey, isn't this Prime Minister Song's carriage? Miss Song finally dares to come out and meet people?"

The He family of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is a family of military generals. They never beat around the bush when speaking. If they don't like someone, they will say a few words. However, they also have some eyes and would not do what Congshuang did, daring to shout at the Prime Minister's daughter.

"Miss He, are you okay? Please give way. My lady has to go out for something important." Luqi was very troubled. She had always been at a disadvantage when facing He Congshuang and the others. This time, she probably wouldn't be able to escape.

If she could avoid getting entangled with her, she would. Luqi spoke to the other party in a nice voice, but the other party ignored her.

Some people nearby had gathered to watch the fun and discuss in low voices.

"Isn't the Prime Minister a higher official than the Duke of Dingguo? Why is the young lady of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion so arrogant?"

"You are new to Kyoto, right? You don't know what's going on here yet. These two had a feud before. Now the eldest son of Duke Dingguo has recaptured a city and repelled the invaders a hundred miles away. The emperor is very pleased! The emperor's favor towards Duke Dingguo is strong!"

"I see. Thank you very much!"

He Congshuang felt the gazes from all directions. She knew very well what she was doing. She looked at the carriage fearlessly, completely ignoring Luqi's existence.

Holding the reins of the horse, he raised his chin and said disdainfully: "How dare you, a lowly person, talk to me? Get out of here! Let your master come out and talk!"
