Song Wanning put down the embroidery in her hand and stood in front of Song Jing. She said to him, "Father, do you have anything to say to your daughter?"
Song Jing sighed, looked at Song Wanning and said, "The Prime Minister's Mansion is a high-ranking family, much higher than the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion. Although you married into a noble family before, you are now marrying the powerful Yin Yichen. The Yin family has a complicated family background, and you will inevitably have to deal with the Yin family in the future. You are grown up now, and you have your own ideas in your mind, but you must be cautious in everything."
"I understand, father. I will definitely keep this in mind."
Song Wanning knew clearly that Song Jing was worried that she would not be able to escape from the Yin family's family background. However, now, she had no good way to tell Song Jing to trust her. She could only wait until she lived a good life in the future to reassure Song Jing.
"But then again, although Yin Yichen is a high-ranking official, our family is not much behind the Yin family. Wan Ning is more than qualified to marry the Prime Minister. Father has heard rumors in the capital recently, but Wan Ning shouldn't take them to heart." Song Jing was also angry when he mentioned this, and he could only muffle his voice and said, "Yin Yichen is just good-looking. How can he be compared with our beautiful and intelligent Wan Ning? He has a bad reputation, and marrying Wan Ning is a blessing that can only be earned in several lifetimes."
Seeing how much Song Jing loved her, Song Wanning was moved. She smiled and said, "Father is right. My marriage to the Prime Minister is a blessing that he has accumulated in several lifetimes."
"If he treats you badly in the future, just come back home and tell me. I will seek justice for you." Song Jing looked at Song Wanning and sighed, "Since I can let you divorce once, I can also let you divorce a second time."
Song Wanning responded softly and looked at Song Jing with great emotion.
In her previous life, Song Wanning had wasted her entire life in the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion and had never had the chance to speak to Song Jing like this. Song Jing had never even seen her get married, nor had he said such sweet words. Now, when Song Wanning heard this, she was deeply moved.
"Alright, alright, you're a grown-up girl now. Father will go and help you check on the dowry that the family has prepared for you. Otherwise, you won't be outdone by Yin Yichen."
After saying this, Song Jing turned around and left Song Wanning's yard, leaving her alone there.
Song Wanning felt a warm feeling in her heart. The betrothal gifts Yin Yichen had sent were so overwhelming that they filled the entire courtyard. Seeing these gifts made the second wife next door jealous. If the family hadn't split up, they would have gotten a share of these gifts, but it was too late to say anything now.
Since Yin Yichen sent such a large betrothal gift, Song Jing was even more determined to give Song Wanning a generous dowry so that she could live a decent life in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Song Wanning knew that Song Jing loved her very much, so she finally sat back down and fiddled with her own embroidery.
Who would have thought that not long after, Song Lan sneaked into the yard again.
Seeing her busy embroidering, Song Lan sat beside her with some displeasure and said, "You are the legitimate daughter of our general's mansion, why do you need to tinker with these things? Naturally, only the servants can do these things."
"Brother, my daughter's embroidery is my own. I don't embroider all of them, so how can I embroider so many? It's just that I have nothing to do now, so I embroidered some things." Song Wanning glanced at Song Lan helplessly and said lightly, "Brother, did you come here to say something?"
Song Lan raised an eyebrow, looked at Song Wanning and said, "Yin Yichen is a man with many tricks and schemes. No one can take advantage of him. I advised you not to get married, but you didn't listen. If you suffer in the future, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Brother!" Song Wanning put down the embroidery in her hand, looked at Song Lan unhappily and said, "If you came here just to say these sour words, you can leave now."
Seeing Song Wanning glaring at him, Song Lan just smiled and explained, "I mean, even though you're married to him, you're still the daughter of our Song family. If you don't have a good time in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, just come back and tell Dad and me, and we'll naturally take care of things for you."
"Dad just mentioned it to me once, I know, big brother."
Even though Song Lan and Song Wanning quarreled and played around with each other on weekdays, they were still siblings after all. Song Lan was still worried about Song Wanning, fearing that she would be bullied in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"It's good that you know. Don't keep everything to yourself." Song Lan's eyes darkened slightly. "You've concealed a lot of things from the past. If I hadn't investigated carefully, I wouldn't have known what kind of life you lived in the general's mansion."
After hearing what Song Lan said, Song Wanning was a little surprised, "Brother...you actually went to check?"
"Why do you think Dad was so determined to split up the family? Wasn't it because he knew the injustice you'd suffered?" Song Lan patted Song Wanning's shoulder and sighed, "I wonder who you inherited this sullen personality from."
Song Wanning smiled but said nothing. After a moment's pause, she spoke, "I understand. If I'm wronged in the future, I'll definitely tell you. Besides, my father is a mighty general of the dynasty, and my eldest brother is also a major general in the army. Who dares to bully me?"
"Yes, yes, no one dares to bully you." Song Lan looked at Song Wanning helplessly.
The two chatted for a while, and just as Song Lan was about to leave, Suzaku, who was beside him, hurried in from outside and said to Song Wanning, "Miss, the Prime Minister has sent someone to deliver your wedding dress."
"Wedding dress?" Song Wanning was now a little speechless.
Nowadays, for couples getting married in the capital, the bride usually prepares her own wedding dress, but now there are cases where the groom prepares it for the bride.
Song Lan stood aside, frowning and saying, "Does he know the size of your wedding dress? He asked someone to prepare it for you."
Zhuque hurriedly spoke up, "The person sent by the Prime Minister said that this wedding dress was made according to our girl's size a few months ago. We are just waiting for you to try it on. If it doesn't fit, we will ask the embroiderers in the capital to make some alterations while we have the chance."
Song Lan sensed something was amiss in this, "A few months ago? Could it be that he had been secretly communicating with you a few months ago and knew your clothing size?"
Song Wanning shook her head guiltily, looking at Song Lan and saying, "How would I know how he knew the size of my clothes? But now that the clothes have been delivered, I won't lose anything by trying them on. Don't you agree, brother?"
"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Song Lan shook his head helplessly, "I really can't control you now."
Song Wanning chuckled and said to the person carrying the box behind her, "Just carry it to my room. I'll try on this dress to see if it fits."
