"Big brother said Xuanzhi likes me, but when I got married at fourteen, he didn't even return to the capital for me." Song Wanning curled her lips and said calmly, "If I hadn't divorced, I would still be the grandmother of the Marquis Zhongping Mansion. How could there be any future events? I just want to live for myself now and marry the person I want to marry. What's wrong with that?"

Song Lan was stunned for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Dad and Big Brother won't harm you. The Prime Minister's Mansion is too complicated, I'm afraid Wan Ning can't handle it."

"When it comes to marriage, only the person who drinks the water knows whether it's hot or cold." Song Wanning covered herself with her cloak, revealing only her eyes, and sneered, "Daddy wouldn't harm big brother, so why wouldn't big brother want to meet the rich and noble ladies of the capital?"

Song Lan shrugged and responded, "How can it be the same? What's wrong with Xuanzhi? If I were a woman, I would definitely marry Xuanzhi."

"Xuanzhi is good, but I have always regarded him as a family member since I was a child. I never thought that this day would come. Now I have figured it out. People always have to live for themselves." Song Wanning raised her head and said to Song Lan, "Since you like him so much, then marry him."

Song Lan waved his hands. "Isn't it true that I can't get married? I really don't understand what your perspective is."

"If you can't get married yourself, don't come and lecture me." Song Wanning said this, pulled the cloak over her head, and covered herself completely under the cloak.

Seeing Song Wanning like this, Song Lan frowned and said, "You've really grown up. You don't even listen to your father and elder brother now. Tell me, how do you want to live? Do you have to marry the Prime Minister?"

Song Wanning didn't have a single nice word to say to Song Lan now. She started by saying, "What's wrong with me marrying the Prime Minister? The Prime Minister's Mansion is extremely wealthy, the Prime Minister is powerful and handsome, and I, a second-time bride, can marry him. I'm so lucky."

"You're truly possessed. There's no hope for you. A man like Yin Yichen, without status, would be nothing more than a scoundrel in the marketplace. He has no principles at all and doesn't care about morality or rules. How can you marry someone like him?"

Having said this, Song Lan didn't want to pay any more attention to Song Wanning. The brother and sister turned their heads to the side and ignored each other.

After Song Wanning returned to the general's mansion, she went straight back to her own yard.

Cai Que, who had been watching over the business at the General's Mansion, saw Song Wanning return and ran over happily to greet her as she entered the house. "Miss, our business with the tea merchants is almost done now, and the tea has been delivered to the house outside the capital. I followed your instructions and hired someone to look after it. Now that you're back, I'll just wait for you to take a look when you're free. I'm afraid I might have made any mistakes."

"I've always trusted you in your work." Song Wanning just smiled and looked at Caique, "But now that you're back, you don't have to shoulder such a heavy burden. Just wait until tomorrow, and I'll go take a look at the house in the suburbs."

"I understand, girl." Caique responded.

Song Wanning is back now. Nan Hongqiu and Song Wanshi in Cuihuayuan feel something is wrong, so Nan Hongqiu asks her capable mother to go out and investigate.

Madam Xu was indeed Nan Hongqiu's confidant. She quickly found a way to find out the news. She looked at Nan Hongqiu and said, "Madam, I went to ask around and found out that Miss Ning and the Prime Minister had met on Mount Putuo. The general got wind of the news and brought Miss Ning back to avoid suspicion."

Nan Hongqiu nodded in understanding, "So that's how it is."

Madam Xu looked at Nan Hongqiu and said, "Madam, I just went out and heard another story, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Song Wanshi, who was beside Nan Hongqiu, couldn't sit still and immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

Mother Xu looked at Nan Hongqiu and spoke in a lively voice, "I heard that Master Jing was extremely angry. It turned out that the Prime Minister wanted to come to the General's Mansion to propose marriage, but Master Jing was not happy about it, so he brought the man back in anger."

"Propose marriage?" Nan Hongqiu almost laughed out loud when she heard this. "Song Wanning is just remarried. What status and face does she have to deserve the Prime Minister's proposal? The Prime Minister has been a child of destiny. Now, at only 21, he has already reached the top of the government. He is also a handsome man. Even if Sister Ning is beautiful, how can she be worthy of the Prime Minister? It's just a foolish dream."

"Maybe I heard it wrong." Mother Xu didn't dare to argue at this point, for she was afraid that if this matter was confirmed, Song Wanshi would start to have a bad temper again.

Nan Hongqiu sat aside and said coldly, "Song Wanning is quite good at choosing a place. It's a blessing for her to be able to choose the same place as the Prime Minister."

"Madam, what Madam Xu said can't be true, right?" Song Wanshi sat aside, already a little panicked. "If Song Wanning remarries and can marry the Prime Minister, then my daughter will never be able to catch up with her even if she flatters him in this life. I'm afraid that if my daughter goes out in the future, she will be laughed to death."

"How could that be?" Nan Hongqiu only smiled and looked down at Song Wanshi, saying softly, "Sister Shi, think about this carefully. Princess Xiangyu, the daughter of the imperial concubine in the palace, wanted to marry the Prime Minister but was rejected. How could the Prime Minister be interested in Song Wanning?"

After hearing this, Song Wanshi finally felt relieved. She looked at Nan Hongqiu and said, "Madam, the marriage between Brother Xuanzhi and Song Wanning is almost final. Mother must think of a way for her daughter. Otherwise, such a good husband will be snatched away by Song Wanning."

Nan Hongqiu kept comforting Song Wanshi, "As long as you listen to me, I can help you seduce any man. Xuanzhi is just being deceived by Song Wanning and is just waiting for him to return from Jiangnan. I will definitely make sure Xuanzhi sees clearly who he should marry."

After hearing this, Song Wanshi just nodded obediently, "Mother is right."

Nan Hongqiu coaxed Song Wanshi and left Cuihua Courtyard. However, Nan Hongqiu's face was not very good now. She asked Mother Xu beside her in a cold voice, "You just said that the Prime Minister wanted to marry Song Wanning?"

Mother Xu quickly responded, "I heard it clearly, it's true."

Seeing Nan Hongqiu's restrained expression, Mother Xu quickly asked, "What are you going to do now, Madam?"

"I don't need to prepare. There are many people in the capital who want to marry the Prime Minister. If those wealthy ladies knew that the Prime Minister wanted to marry a second wife, I'm afraid no one would let Song Wanning, this vixen, go." Nan Hongqiu chuckled and said, "All we have to do is spread the news and wait and see. Song Wanning is just relying on the power of the general's mansion and her good looks. How can she compare with my sister Shi?"
