Song Wanning had an innocent look on her face. She just looked at Nan Hongqiu and said, "What is Auntie talking about? Wanning was called over by Zijun to rest early last night. I really don't know why Auntie appeared in my room. I thought Auntie was too hot in my room and came to stay with me. Who would have thought that Auntie would do such a thing in my room..."
"When I was at home, I heard Auntie say she wanted to come to Red Leaf Mountain to pray for a child. Wanning never imagined that Auntie would actually pray like this. I feel ashamed for her."
Nan Hongqiu had already decided on this room, and had even mentioned that it was cooler in order to get Song Wanning to move in. Who would have thought that she would have dug a hole and fallen into it now? She looked at what Song Wanning said now, and although she felt sympathetic, she really had no way to refute it.
Nan Hongqiu came to her senses after being reminded by Song Wanning. She must have fallen into Song Wanning's trap. But how could she move herself here alone?
Nan Hongqiu had no time to think about it now. These ladies and girls who came to practice cultivation would soon spread this matter to the capital, and she would be humiliated. Now, she was afraid that if the general's mansion heard about it, Song Zhan would have to divorce her.
Now that Nan Hongqiu has done something like this in Hongye Mountain, the nun in the temple will definitely punish her. With so many ladies and girls now, if she isn't punished, I'm afraid it would be hard to explain. "Madam Nan has done such a shameless thing in a Buddhist holy place. Tie her up and send her back to the general's mansion. Tell the people in the general's mansion to take a good look at how such a slut could emerge."
Now that the situation had developed to this point, Nan Hongqiu was at her wit's end and could only explain to the nun, "Nun, I was framed. Please wait for me to find out the truth and I will definitely seek justice for myself. There's something strange about this. I don't know what happened last night, but I passed out and found myself in this room when I woke up."
The nun naturally knew whether Nan Hongqiu was framed, but she couldn't investigate right now. If she did, it would implicate Hongye Mountain. The nun immediately frowned and said to Nan Hongqiu, "Hurry up and tie him up! You can tell me your grievances when you return to the General's Mansion."
Nan Hongqiu saw that she was about to be tied up, and immediately shouted at Song Wanning, "Song Wanning, you framed your aunt, you will not die a good death, you will not die a good death!"
Song Wanning listened to Nan Hongqiu's curses and bowed to the ladies and girls who were watching the show. "Such a scandal has happened in our family. I beg you ladies to forgive me for my aunt's rude words and actions."
Logically speaking, the first and second wives of the General's Mansion were still one family. If Nan Hongqiu had acted this way, the reputations of Song Wanning and Song Wanxiu would have been affected. Who would have thought that Nan Hongqiu was so eager for revenge that he would disregard everything else?
Now that she has committed adultery, it will affect not only Song Wanning's reputation, but also Song Wanxiu's reputation. No one in the family can escape.
Song Wanning was no longer obsessed with restoring her reputation. She just turned around and pulled Lu Zijun back to her boudoir.
"Zi Jun, I have to go down the mountain and go home to take care of family matters. Your training has not yet been completed, so you can stay here and continue your training."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zijun simply waved her hand and said, "Red Leaf Mountain is filled with filth and miasma. It's truly unsuitable for me to continue cultivating. I don't think continuing to bathe and fast will help me find my ideal husband. Why don't I go down the mountain with you? I'll have someone to look after me along the way."
Seeing that Lu Zijun didn't understand what she meant, Song Wanning whispered, "Zijun, now that such a scandal has happened in my family, my reputation is also not in good shape. If you walk with me, I'm afraid these people will still doubt your character. Why don't we go our separate ways..."
Before Song Wanning could finish, Lu Zijun retorted, "What are you saying now? Don't be so rude. Your aunt's shamelessness has nothing to do with you. Besides, my reputation is just like that now. Everyone in the capital calls me a tigress. I don't care about one more thing."
When Song Wanning heard Lu Zijun say this, she laughed out loud and followed Lu Zijun down the Red Leaf Mountain.
Song Wanning was walking on the road, looking back at the mountain. She thought about how in her previous life she had gone up the mountain to bathe and fast in order to make Wen Tingbo change his mind. It seemed like a joke.
Fortunately, in this life, everything has changed and is no longer the same as it used to be.
Song Wanning looked at Lu Zijun and said, "My elder brother is waiting for me at the foot of the mountain. Does Zijun have a carriage ready? If it's inconvenient to ride a carriage, you can come back with us."
Lu Zijun was about to reply with a smile, but his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the young man sitting outside the carriage at the foot of the mountain, and his gaze was immediately drawn to him.
Song Lan grew up in the army, so his posture is naturally much taller than that of the young men in the capital. He is tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Now he is wearing a crimson purple long gown with narrow sleeves, a waist and a stand-up collar, which makes him look even more handsome.
Because they returned to the capital, the children of the Song family have always been fair-skinned. Song Lan held a dogtail grass in his mouth and looked around boredly.
Lu Zijun pointed at Song Lan, who was squatting on the carriage, and asked in a low voice, "Is the person in the carriage your eldest brother?"
Song Wanning nodded, her eyes curved with a smile, "Exactly."
Lu Zijun scratched his arm and said to Song Wanning embarrassedly, "My family's carriage is not very convenient. If it is suitable, I will go back to the capital with Wanning and Wanning's elder brother."
"Okay." Song Wanning agreed, took a few steps forward and said to Song Lan, "Brother, I'm here."
Seeing Song Wanning, Song Lan spat out the dogtail grass from his mouth, jumped down from the carriage, took a look at Song Wanning's appearance, and said in a low voice, "Finally you're out. You're leaving today. Did Nan Hongqiu make things difficult for you?"
"It's a long story, just wait until I get in the carriage and tell you slowly." Song Wanning said, holding Lu Zijun's hand and walking forward, "Brother, this is my good friend Lu Zijun. Thanks to her care in the mountains, I was able to get through this smoothly. Now that she is unable to use the carriage, she will come with us back to the capital."
"The Lu family?" Song Lan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "I was just bored and saw a broken carriage up ahead, so I helped fix it. When I asked, I found out it was the Lu family. Miss, don't worry now. Just take a few steps forward. The carriage has been repaired, and the Lu family's maids are waiting for you out front."
"In that case, thank you very much, my dear." Lu Zijun didn't expect this result. She choked and laughed dryly at Song Wanning. "Wanning, I'm going to find my family's carriage."
