Chapter 320: Arson



Prime Minister's Mansion.

Song Wanning looked at the health supplements in her hand and felt that she had no appetite, so she immediately put the bird's nest in her hand on the table.

Seeing this, Lu Zijun on the side hurriedly advised, "You are pregnant right now. Even if you don't want to eat, the baby in your belly still needs to eat."

Seeing Lu Zijun, Song Wanning forced a smile and said, "I'm not feeling well right now. I really don't have much of an appetite."

Lu Zijun sighed, but still persuaded, "Even if you don't eat bird's nest, eat something else."

Seeing Lu Zijun's persuasion, Song Wanning reluctantly ate two mouthfuls of the bird's nest on the table. Then she said, "I don't know what's wrong with me today. I don't feel very comfortable."

Seeing this, Lu Zijun immediately comforted her, "I'm afraid you're just overly worried because the Prime Minister is not at home. What you need to do now is to relax and take good care of your pregnancy."

Song Wanning was about to say something when Suzaku came in from outside and said to her, "Madam, I just came in and saw someone acting suspiciously. I took a closer look and found that this person was Nan Hongqiu. I don't know what she's been doing here recently. Madam, please be careful not to fall into her trap."

Lu Zijun was surprised to hear this and said to Song Wanning, "That's strange. Even if this woman said she wanted to seek revenge, she can't do anything. There are so many guards guarding the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if she wanted to take revenge, she wouldn't be able to do anything. So why did she come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

After hearing this, Song Wanning immediately said, "Nan Hongqiu has been staying in the Nan Mansion for the past few days. I'm afraid she doesn't know what's going on in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She may have gotten some information, but I don't know where it came from. She must have heard something and is here to gather information. I'm afraid she's looking for a chance to get revenge on me."

When Lu Zijun heard Song Wanshi say this, she immediately became furious and shouted to Song Wanning, "This Nan Hongqiu, she actually dared to come here to cause trouble for you. I will make sure she never comes back."

Lu Zijun said this, stood up, and was about to walk out angrily.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law." Song Wanning immediately grabbed Lu Zijun's sleeve and said to her, "Good sister-in-law, I'm afraid someone has tipped off Nan Hongqiu, but we don't know who it is. Let's see what she's going to do today. It would be best if we could take action and bring her to justice, and at the same time give a warning to the people behind her."

When Lu Zijun heard Song Wanning say this, he immediately stepped forward and asked Song Wanning, "Tell me, what should we do?"

Song Wanning just smiled at Lu Zijun and said slowly, "Just wait and see."

When Lu Zijun heard Song Wanning say this, she immediately gave her a thumbs up.

Nan Hongqiu, who was still plotting outside, was completely oblivious to all this. She was still contemplating how she could send Song Wanning to the afterlife. After much deliberation, she realized that she couldn't get in, seeing so many people at the entrance to the Prime Minister's Mansion. So she decided to set it on fire.

After all, if he didn't set the fire, he wouldn't be able to find any other way to take revenge. It just so happened that the Prime Minister wasn't at home, and the Prime Minister's Mansion looked like a mere facade from the outside. It would be best if he could burn Song Wanning to death.

Seeing this, Nan Hongqiu immediately said to Song Wanshi beside him, "Right now, I'm going to find a way to sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion and set it on fire. If I can burn Song Wanning to death, that would be the best."

Song Wanshi looked at Nan Hongqiu and said with concern, "Mother, is this okay? I'm afraid the Prime Minister's Mansion is in crisis. I don't know what Song Wanshi would do if she found out about you.

"I saw a dog hole at the north gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I'll sneak in through it when it's dark, then light a tinder and set it on fire." Nan Hongqiu looked at Song Wanshi and said with a smile, "I'll set the fire and then escape in the chaos. I'm afraid no one will find me. Song Wanning has hurt us mother and daughter like this, and I will never let her go. I just wait for my revenge, and then we can live a good life in the future."

Seeing Nan Hongqiu's insistence, Song Wanshi didn't stop her. She just advised, "Mother, please be careful when you go out to do things."

"I understand." Nan Hongqiu left the Nan Mansion and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion wearing a black cloak.

She successfully reached the north gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and entered through the dog hole at the north gate. Beyond the dog hole was a deserted courtyard connected to the adjacent stables. If she set a fire, she could ignite the weeds in the deserted courtyard, and the fire would spread, potentially setting the stables ablaze. The courtyard next to the stables was Song Wanning's courtyard.

Nan Hongqiu's plan was a success, and he acted accordingly. He immediately took out the tinder that he had prepared long ago from his arms, quickly lit the fire and threw it on the weeds in the deserted yard.

The weeds quickly caught fire, and the entire yard was on fire.

"The fire is coming, the fire is coming, come and put out the fire. Come quickly, come and put out the fire."

Soon someone outside started shouting.

Seeing this, Nan Hongqiu quickly put away the tinder and started to drill into the dog hole, trying to get out and escape.

Nan Hongqiu had just crawled out of the dog hole when she looked up to see Song Wanning standing in front of her, looking at her with a half-smile. "Auntie, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect you to come visit me through a dog hole like this instead of the main gate. You even burned down the house to warm me up, knowing I was afraid of the cold."

When Nan Hongqiu saw this scene, his face turned cold and he knew in his heart that he was probably finished this time.

Nan Hongqiu couldn't help but ask, "I came here so secretly today. I wonder how you knew I was going to set fire to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Song Wanning looked at Nan Hongqiu and smiled faintly, "My dear aunt, you've been used and you're completely oblivious. Someone told me long ago that you might be plotting to murder me, and told me to be on my guard. How could I not listen to such kind words?"

"Who told you?" Nan Hongqiu looked at Song Wanning with a confused look on his face.

"Whoever told you to harm me was the one who told me to be on guard against you. That person wanted to gain a favor from me, but he ended up using my aunt as a scapegoat. My aunt, just bear with it." Song Wanning calmly turned the spearhead towards Wu Junrou.
