There were many guests at the wedding banquet at the General's Mansion, and something like the incident involving Yan Yuzhi happened.
Fortunately, Yan Yuzhi's incident did not cause any trouble and was quickly settled. The guests at the wedding banquet were all paying attention to the newlyweds, and few people saw that Yan Yuzhi, the son of the richest man in Beijing, had any unpleasantness with a girl.
Song Wanning had rarely spoken to Lu Zijun since they got married, and they had never even seen each other. Now, looking back, she had become her sister-in-law, which was really unexpected for Song Wanning.
Song Wanning hadn't expected this, and Lu Zijun felt she had let her down. Ever since she'd started liking Song Lan, she'd never told her about it. By the time she finally wanted to, everything had already been settled, and she hadn't even had the chance to tell her.
Although she wanted to find a chance to explain, she was always delayed by various things. In the blink of an eye, she actually got married. Now it can be said that the arrow is on the string, making Lu Zijun anxious.
Now that she was married, Lu Zijun felt even more guilty, and she kept thinking about explaining things to Song Wanning. She sat on the bed, lowered her head, and asked Qingling, the little maid beside her, "Go out and look for her. With such a big event happening today, Sister Ning should be here. If you find her, ask her to come in and have a few words with me."
The maidservant beside Lu Zijun responded and just as she went out, she met Song Wanning at the door. The maidservant Qingling was so happy that she almost jumped up, "Miss Ning, you are finally here. Our lady is still thinking about seeing you. She just said she has something to say to you. Come in quickly and have a good talk with our lady."
Song Wanning raised her head slightly and looked at Qing Ling, smiling faintly, "So, my good sister-in-law wants to see me now?"
"That's right." Qing Ling said, and hurriedly pulled Song Wanning's sleeve and walked into the house. "Miss Ning, I think it's been a while since I last saw you. It might be a good opportunity to talk to our young lady here."
Song Wanning took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and slipped into Lu Zijun and Song Lan's bedroom.
Qing Ling hurried forward and said to Lu Zijun, "Good girl, Miss Ning has come to you. You may as well have a good talk with her."
When Lu Zijun heard this, she could no longer hold back her temper. She immediately lifted the red veil and looked at Song Wanning, just in time to meet a pair of smiling eyes.
Lu Zijun only heard Song Wanning say, "Good sister-in-law, are you looking for me?"
After hearing this, Lu Zijun looked at Song Wanning and blushed. She looked at Song Wanning and said, "Look at what you said. We usually call each other sisters, but you suddenly changed your tone. I'm not used to it..."
Song Wanning crossed her arms and looked at Lu Zijun with a smile. "Please explain to me, dear sister-in-law, what is going on. I wanted to ask you when we got engaged, but I was delayed by many things."
Seeing that she was now married, Lu Zijun did not hide it from Song Wanning. She looked at her and slowly said, "When I came down from Hongye Mountain that day, I liked your brother the first time I saw him. But my reputation is not good, so I didn't dare to tell you rashly, so I had to think of another way..."
"I see." Song Wanning walked closer, looked at Lu Zijun, and chuckled. "That's why you came back with my Song family's carriage. Later, you asked me to come to your house to inquire about my brother's study at Bishui Hall. You wanted to have a future, right?"
When Lu Zijun saw that Song Wanning had exposed her, her face immediately turned as red as an apple. Lu Zijun, who was usually arrogant and domineering, could actually feel so embarrassed. "Is...is that right? I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. Now that I'm married, just tell me what you want. I will do my best to make it up to you if I can."
"Then what can you compensate me with? I'd like to hear it." Song Wanning leaned against the bed, her smile growing even brighter.
Lu Zijun was quite generous. She immediately opened her dowry box and took out a number of land deeds from it. She looked at Song Wanning and said slowly, "These are the best land and shops my parents gave me. The location is also excellent. Please choose carefully and I will give you one."
Song Wanning raised an eyebrow when she heard this, took two steps forward, looked at the box that Lu Zijun handed over, and pretended to flip through it. "Oh, the shop in the West Quarter of the capital, this is a good place. The one hundred acres of fertile farmland in the suburbs of the capital is also a good place... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I want them all, what should I do?"
After Song Wanning said this, she raised her eyes and looked at Lu Zijun, smiling at her.
Seeing this, Lu Zijun was not polite at all. He stood up and raised his hand to hit Song Wanning, "You greedy ghost, you want to take away all my dowry. How can I live in the general's mansion in the future? I'll give you a room, just take it, and be honest."
Song Wanning stepped aside and smiled at Lu Zijun, "I was just joking with you. You're my sister-in-law now, and we're close friends. I can come back later. If my brother marries someone I don't know, I'm afraid it would be awkward when we meet in the future. I'm happier than anyone else that you can marry my brother. The only thing that makes me angry is that you didn't tell me and kept it a secret. You're treating me like an outsider."
"Oh, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, Miss Ning. I won't do it again." Lu Zijun smiled and sat back on the bed. "If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me and I will definitely help you."
The two were arguing when there was suddenly a noise outside. Lu Zijun was so scared that she quickly covered her head with a veil.
After a while, the door creaked open. The mother who came with the dowry from the Lu Mansion saw the scene and knew that Lu Zijun was probably not honest. She immediately said, "Oh my little ancestor, how can you take off this veil casually? Hurry up and put it on."
Lu Zijun responded softly, "I know, Mom. I'm being good."
"If you listen, the sun will rise from the west." Mom glanced at Qingling beside Lu Zijun and whispered, "Watch the girl carefully and don't let her lift her veil again. If she's hungry, go find her some fruit to eat."
Qingling responded and stood back.
Lu Zijun's mother turned her head to look at Song Wanning, smiled, and said to Song Wanning, "Excuse me, madam. Our daughter has never been used to following rules."
"Mom, you're too polite. My sister-in-law and I have been close friends, and now we're a family, so there's no need for us to be strangers." Song Wanning smiled, knowing that her mother was ordering her to leave, so she said goodbye to Lu Zijun and walked out of the house.
