Song Wanning was frightened and looked up, only to find that Yin Yichen had opened his eyes at some point.
Song Wanning was about to speak, but Yin Yichen closed his eyes again and said in a low voice, "Sleep with me for a while."
Song Wanning responded, leaned in Yin Yichen's arms and closed her eyes with him.
Although he said he wanted to sleep, Yin Yichen hugged Song Wanning and stroked her back.
But Song Wanning opened her eyes again after a while, looked at Yin Yichen and said, "Just now Wu Junrou came, and my sister-in-law came too. Wu Junrou wanted to give me some advice, but she was scolded by my sister-in-law. When she left, her face was so dark that it was scary."
Yin Yichen chuckled twice and said softly, "Don't pay attention to her. It's Madam who has to deal with her."
Song Wanning only sighed and said, "She isn't as respected as she used to be. But she just said that the story between me and the young master of the Pei family has spread all over the capital. Yi Chen, I don't need to care about others, but I should explain everything to you clearly."
Song Wanning raised her head and looked straight at Yin Yichen, then spoke slowly, "That day, Young Master Pei encountered me and the steward at Fengxian Restaurant. We were arguing, and then, noticing that the steward seemed a little unhappy, I followed him out of the city. I should remember his kindness, but there's nothing else to remember. I'm thinking of you now, and since I married you, naturally, I only have you in my heart, and I won't be thinking of Young Master Pei or Young Master Chen."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yichen simply smiled faintly and said, "I understand, Wan Ning. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. This Prime Minister's Mansion feels like home now, thanks to you. I won't get angry with you, Wan Ning, because of those groundless rumors."
Song Wanning's heart moved. She leaned on Yin Yichen's chest to feel his heartbeat and said slowly, "Now that I'm married to you, I've become the public enemy of all the ladies in the capital. But since I've enjoyed such a blessing, it's only right that I should be criticized."
Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and said calmly, "Marrying you is my blessing."
Song Wanning responded, raised her head and kissed Yin Yichen on the cheek, then smiled softly and said, "There are a lot of things waiting for me to do in the mansion now. You should sleep a little longer, otherwise I will always be unable to help talking to you here."
"It won't take a moment." Yin Yichen closed his eyes and pulled Song Wanning back into his arms. Without waiting for her to speak, he kissed Song Wanning's lips, held her hand and pressed her down.
The two of them interlocked their fingers, Song Wanning's face was slightly shy. It was still early, so Song Wanning hurriedly reminded him, "Husband, it's not dark yet..."
"It's okay, it will be dark after you draw the curtain." Yin Yichen half sat up, reached out to pull the curtain outside tightly, then lowered his head and placed one kiss after another on Song Wanning's neck.
"Wan Ning..." A low sigh came out of Yin Yichen's mouth.
Song Wanning looked at Yin Yichen's appearance. Yin Yichen's eyes were slightly red and there was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of his nose. He was very different from the meticulous Yin Yichen in his daily life.
But this made Song Wanning even more intoxicated. This dreamy Yin Yichen belonged only to her.
Song Wanning hugged Yin Yichen and floated up and down with him.
After a while, Yin Yichen got up energetically, leaving Song Wanning alone to rest on the bed until they were about to go down the mountain.
When Song Wanning stood up, Yin Yichen was still in the study handling official business. She looked at the sky outside and said in surprise, "It's already this late, and you two little girls didn't even bother to tell me to get up."
Zhuque and Caique smiled at each other. Caique turned around and said to Song Wanning with a slightly bright look in her eyes, "It's not that we don't want to call you, but the Prime Minister has ordered that you not to ask Madam to get up. He said that Madam should rest for a while."
When Song Wanning heard this, her ears turned red with embarrassment. She looked at the two of them and said, "You two little girls, whatever the Prime Minister says is yours."
Even though she said this, Song Wanning didn't bother with the two little girls anymore. She just turned around and looked at the account books that filled her room. She sighed and said, "Now that's good. I've been delayed for a few days, and these account books are piling up. How can I finish reading them all?"
Although Song Wanning complained, she still sat down in her chair and began to deal with her accounts. After working for a while, she remembered that her brother Song Lan was going to the battlefield. She hurriedly asked, "Have you heard the news about my brother from my mother's family going to the battlefield?"
"Madam, I heard that they didn't tell anyone else about this. They said they were worried about spies in the capital, so they didn't let anyone know when they were going to suppress the bandits. Now, many officers and soldiers have left the city in batches, but some are going to various places. I don't know if any of them are going to suppress the bandits." Zhuque stood aside and responded to Song Wanning, "I'm afraid it will only take a few days. When the general returns from suppressing the bandits, the military achievements of the general's mansion will probably be even greater than before."
Song Wanning was a little worried after hearing this. The General's Mansion already had a great general, Song Jing. If Song Lan also had outstanding military achievements, he might be so powerful that he would shock the lord and attract attention.
But there is no point in worrying about these things now. We can only wait and think of a solution when that day really comes.
What Song Wanning didn't know was that Song Lan had already left the city at that moment, leading many soldiers straight to Langfeng Mountain. Langfeng Mountain was surrounded by miasma and had a complex terrain, which was why Zhang Daoba and others had been entrenched there for many years.
Song Lan led his troops there this time, determined to capture Zhang Daoba and his men in one fell swoop and eradicate these troubles completely. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will become even more arrogant and domineering in the future, causing chaos under the emperor's feet.
Song Lan was not far from Langfeng Mountain at this time. The young generals below looked at Song Lan and asked, "General Song, how about we attack the mountain under cover of night?"
Song Lan just shook his head and said slowly, "Don't worry, let's wait until daybreak. There are many poisonous insects on Mount Langfeng. If we go up the mountain now, we will probably encounter danger. Let the soldiers rest where they are and wait for orders. Each team should check the medicine bags of the soldiers in their team to make sure nothing goes wrong. The miasma on the mountain is no joke."
Seeing this, the young general behind him said yes and went down to do his work.
Song Lan is tall and strong. Now in military uniform, he looks even more upright and has the demeanor of a general.
They waited in the darkness until daybreak, then they led their soldiers slowly up the mountain. The fog on the mountain slowly cleared as the sun rose, and the miasma gradually dissipated, only filling the woods.
Groups of people were walking up the mountain. The miasma of Langfeng Mountain only existed halfway up the mountain, but it was safe and sound on the mountain.
