Song Wanning looked at the mess that Wu Junrou had left for her. It was hard for Wu Junrou to calculate that Guan Surong was a living person and she had just entered her Prime Minister's Mansion.
Now that Guan Surong was staying at the Prime Minister's Mansion, she couldn't drive her away nor do anything to her. She had to take good care of her and not slack off for the sake of face. Otherwise, Guan Surong would turn around and tell Wu Junrou everything about her situation, and if Wu Junrou spread the news, all her previous efforts would be in vain.
Guan Surong looked at Song Wanning with a very gentle look. She smiled softly and said, "Cousin, I couldn't make ends meet outside, so I came to you to think of a solution. Now that I've seen you, I feel relieved. I hope you don't find me annoying. If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have come to you."
Song Wanning looked at Guan Surong with hatred gritting her teeth. Who could have thought that she could get in touch with Wu Junrou and enter the gate of her Prime Minister's Mansion like this? But no matter what she thought in her heart, Song Wanning could not lose face.
Song Wanning looked at Guan Surong and smiled faintly, "Cousin, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm so bored sitting alone in the house right now. I'd love for you to come and talk to me. I didn't have time to invite you, and now that you're here, I couldn't be happier. Now, our boring Prime Minister's Mansion is finally lively."
Seeing this, Guan Surong smiled shyly, "I am finally relieved by what you said, cousin. Otherwise, I would be afraid that you would blame me for causing trouble."
"How is that possible? We're all brothers and sisters in this family, how could anyone dislike someone else? When you come, we'll have a good time," Song Wanning said, her eyes fixed on Cai Que, who was standing beside her. "Cai Que, go clean up the east wing and let Su Rong stay there. If it weren't for Su Rong, this mansion would be so deserted that I don't know how long it would last. All the food should be provided, and we must not neglect it."
Cai Que responded and said to Guan Surong, "Auntie, just follow me. The east wing is over here. You can live there with the people in our mansion. You can rest assured and keep our mistress company."
Guan Surong was extremely happy to hear this and immediately bowed to Song Wanning, "I feel really bad that you are treating me like this, cousin. If you believe me, I will definitely not cause any trouble for you when I am in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future."
"Why are you two relatives saying these things? Just go and have a rest." Song Wanning had a smile on her face and was very respectful to her cousin.
After sending Guan Surong away, Yin Yichen came out from the back and said to Song Wanning, "I remember you never got along with her. Now she's got someone from over there to get into our mansion. Who knows what she's up to. Madam is pregnant now. It would be better to get rid of this troublemaker like her instead of keeping him in the mansion."
Song Wanning sighed and said to Yin Yichen, "How can she be so easily dismissed? Do you think she went through so much trouble to come here, so that we can send her away so easily? She just came to me with a look of desperation. If I just send her away like this, as soon as we send her away, she will definitely go to the other side to cry and complain. What will the outsiders say then? It all depends on Wu Junrou's words. Of course, we have to send her away, but I need to think about how to do it."
Seeing this, Yin Yichen comforted Song Wanning and said, "Your reputation outside is already terrible. Why bother about this little reputation now?"
"Even a gentleman fears the gossip of the people. Now that you are an official in the court, you must take care of your reputation even more. Although you may be a little rude to those ministers on weekdays, it is your duty. If we have any personal moral flaws in private and the thieves catch us, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with us in the future. Wu Junrou went to such great lengths to send someone here today. I am afraid she has some tricks up her sleeve. She is sure that I dare not reject my cousin in front of so many elders."
After hearing this, Yin Yichen understood Song Wanning's intention and said to her, "I understand you. In this case, I will ask my men to keep a close eye on her and not let her cause any trouble in the mansion.
"Master is very thoughtful." Song Wanning sighed, had dinner with Yin Yichen and then returned to her own yard.
She was in the study dealing with accounts when Guan Surong came into the courtyard a short while later. Standing outside, she spoke to Song Wanning, "Cousin, I feel very sorry for bothering you by coming to the mansion now. If you have any work to do, you might as well tell me directly so that I can feel a little better. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll feel so sorry for you when I go back that I won't be able to sleep."
"Oh my dear, in this huge Prime Minister's Mansion, everything is handled by servants. You, a young lady, can't be of much help here. You might as well take a good rest first. I'll come and talk to you when I'm done with my work." Song Wanning smiled faintly and said, "Your life is not easy right now. I understand it. When I have more time, I will definitely find a good family for you so that you can marry off with honor."
Guan Surong was deeply moved when she heard this. She immediately held Song Wanning's hand and wiped a few tears from her eyes with her handkerchief. "Cousin, I misunderstood you before. I thought you were narrow-minded and couldn't tolerate me, and you looked down on me. Now I think it was all my fault for thinking that way about you. Now I understand your intentions."
Song Wanning calmly pulled her hand out of Guan Surong's, looked at her and smiled faintly, "My dear cousin, I'm just a little cold-tempered. I never imagined the twists and turns in your heart. Now that you're in the Prime Minister's Mansion, just stay here and don't worry about anything else and add to your troubles."
Guan Surong responded softly twice, then retreated accompanied by her maid.
Seeing this, Zhuque, standing by, immediately grew displeased. "Madam, isn't she just here to cause trouble for you? Even at the Prime Minister's Residence, she's still restless, running around everywhere, not noticing that you're busy."
"Now that she's here, she won't be at peace. Be careful not to fall into her trap." Song Wanning's eyes darkened.
