Lu Zijun sighed after hearing this and said slowly, "It seems that this is the only way now."

As soon as Lu Zijun finished speaking, she thought of what she had just said and immediately whispered in Song Wanning's ear, "Now the story between you and Mr. Pei is spreading like wildfire in the capital. The Prime Minister must have heard about it. I wonder if he is angry with you?"

"The Prime Minister has always been reasonable. Naturally, he wouldn't get angry with me over something so intimate." Song Wanning smiled faintly, looking at Lu Zijun and said slowly, "Right now, I'm just annoyed by those gossipers over there."

"So, your Prime Minister is truly magnanimous." Lu Zijun waved his hand and continued, "I used to think he was vindictive, but now it seems I misunderstood him."

"It's not... a misunderstanding." Song Wanning held her forehead and whispered to Lu Zijun, "He is indeed a vindictive person, but we are of the same mind. He knows what I'm thinking, so he's naturally more tolerant of me. Besides, he also knows that what's going on outside is nonsense."

"I don't think this is a good idea." Lu Zijun curled her lips and said, "Even the closest couples will eventually have conflicts. I've heard my mother say that we should not be too confident in everything. Although there is nothing between you and Pei Xuanzhi now, you still have to explain when it's time to explain. Otherwise, you will regret it when it's too late to save the relationship."

After hearing what Lu Zijun said, Song Wanning had some ideas in her mind, but her expression remained unchanged. She only looked at Lu Zijun and said lightly, "I know, dear sister-in-law. Thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise I am afraid I still don't know this."

"I'm glad you know." Lu Zijun smiled, then breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Now I've said what I need to say. I have to go."

Song Wanning laughed immediately and said, "I know, I know. I'll see you off."

As the two were talking, the mother outside ran in and said, "Madam, the lady from the Yin Mansion is here again. I wonder what she's here for this time."

Song Wanning sighed and looked at Lu Zijun beside her and said, "I'm afraid she came here to lecture me because of the rumors outside the capital. Now that I want to regain my face in the capital, I'm afraid I still have to deal with her."

"What kind of relative dares to discipline you?" Lu Zijun's temper flared up again. "I have to see who gave her the courage to come here and act like the boss. Let her see how powerful I, the Beijing tigress, am. Only then will she know if she dares to come here."

"Good sister-in-law, please don't." Song Wanning quickly grabbed Lu Zijun and whispered to comfort her, "Sister-in-law, you helped me once before. I didn't curse her now to protect my reputation. But I've been like this myself, how can I bear to see you ruin your reputation for me?"

Lu Zijun didn't take it seriously and said immediately, "I have a bad reputation to begin with, and I don't want to redeem it. My brother won't marry either. It's okay, I'll teach this old woman a lesson and let her know what it means to be a tiger without showing its might."

Seeing Lu Zijun like this, Song Wanning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She hurriedly said, "I can take you to see him, but you must not be impulsive. My aunt may not be good at other things, but she is really good at twisting right and wrong."

"I know, I know." Lu Zijun said hurriedly, "Let's go see her now, go now."

"I understand." Song Wanning reluctantly took Lu Zijun to the front hall, and asked her mother to take Wu Junrou into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wu Junrou has become much more vigilant since she suffered a loss at the hands of Song Wanning last time. She thinks twice before speaking or doing anything, for fear that Song Wanning will seize the opportunity again.

But now that Song Wanning had such a reputation outside, Wu Junrou, as an elder, naturally had to come and give her some advice. Otherwise, she would wake up in the middle of the night and regret not seizing the opportunity.

When Wu Junrou arrived at the main hall, she was still dressed elegantly. Seeing Lu Zijun, she asked in surprise, "Wan Ning, this lady... is she your sister-in-law?"

"That's right." Song Wanning replied softly with a faint smile on her face, "It's really unfortunate that my aunt came. My sister-in-law happened to be visiting. After all, we are all married, so we can barely be considered a family when we get together and talk."

After hearing this, Wu Junrou just nodded slightly, but kept looking at Lu Zijun.

Lu Zijun was dressed neatly, looking like a lady from a wealthy family. Wu Junrou sat on a chair and said slowly, "Your sister-in-law is very decent at first glance. No wonder she was able to marry into the general's mansion."

Song Wanning looked at Wu Junrou, still smiling, and said, "Aunt, what's the matter with you coming here today?"

"This..." Wu Junrou looked at Song Wanning, then at Lu Zijun beside her, and said with a hint of meaning, "Now that there are outsiders here, I'm afraid it's hard to say it. I'm afraid if I say something, I'll make you lose face, which would be bad."

Song Wanning still smiled after hearing this, "It's okay, my sister-in-law from my mother's family is not an outsider anyway, so just say it directly."

"Well then." Wu Junrou acted like an elder and spoke slowly, "Wan Ning, I didn't want to get involved in this matter, but since you married into our family, you should abide by the rules of a wife and live a good life with Yi Chen. I'm afraid you don't know what rumors are spread about you and Pei Xiaolangjun. They say Yi Chen is a villain who broke up childhood sweethearts. How unpleasant it is to hear such words. As the Prime Minister's wife, you should also think about Yi Chen."

"Aunt, I'm afraid you don't know that this matter was originally a misunderstanding. If it weren't for Young Master Pei's rescue that day, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded by now. I didn't expect the rumors to turn out like this." Song Wanning's expression remained unchanged, and she only whispered to explain herself, "Now I explain to everyone I meet, but my power is limited."

"Then you should have behaved better after you got married. Why is Mr. Pei so obsessed with you? Don't you think about it carefully? What hints did you give him in your words? That's what gives him hope." Wu Junrou now insisted that Pei Xuanzhi liked Song Wanning and was leading her into a trap.

However, Song Wanning didn't fall for it. She simply said to Wu Junrou, "Aunt, you really don't know. Although Pei Xuanzhi and I grew up together, we've only been friends since childhood. He saved me only because of family reasons, not because he loves me."

"Oh? Is that so?" Wu Junrou obviously didn't believe it.
