When Song Wanning came out of the warm room, her expression was much calmer than before.
The maidservant beside the queen was quite surprised to see Song Wanning's expression. She immediately said to Song Wanning, "Madam, your mood seems to have improved after seeing the Prime Minister. But the Prime Minister said something important to Madam, which can turn Madam's bad luck into good luck."
Song Wanning smiled faintly after hearing this and said to the maid beside her, "It's nothing serious. I just feel relieved to see that he is fine now."
Seeing this, the maid chuckled twice and said slowly, "Madam, the Queen just said that after you leave the warm room, you don't need to go back to the palace to answer questions. Just go home directly."
Song Wanning thanked the maid beside her and left the palace.
The maidservant who followed Song Wanning returned to the Queen's Palace to report to the Queen, "Your Majesty, after this lady went to see the Prime Minister, it seemed that the Prime Minister had said something to her. She seemed much calmer than before."
The Queen chuckled upon hearing this and said to the maid beside her, "It seems we've made the right move. Now, whether we can overcome this difficulty depends on the Prime Minister and his wife."
Seeing this, the maidservant beside the Queen asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, I see that the Prime Minister's wife is just a woman. How could she have such a method to solve this difficult situation?"
The Queen simply smiled faintly and said, "Judging people is a complex art. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Prime Minister's wife is pregnant and behaves gracefully. This is no ordinary person. From the way she treated others before, I could tell that she is someone who can accomplish great things."
The maid beside her nodded, not quite understanding what was said.
Song Wanning took a carriage from the palace back to her Prime Minister's Residence. Lu Zijun had been waiting at the gate. Seeing her, he immediately said, "Wanning, you're finally back. I was almost worried to death in this house. Seeing you now finally makes me feel relieved."
When Song Wanning saw Lu Zijun, before she could say anything, Lu Zijun helped her down from the carriage and asked, "How was it? Did you see the Prime Minister in the palace this time?"
"I see." Song Wanning looked at Lu Zijun and sighed, "I'm afraid I have a lot of things to do this time. Zijun, I can only ask you to help me with the things at home. I have to go out for a while, and I'm afraid I will be gone for ten days or half a month."
"What?" Lu Zijun's jaw dropped to the ground in shock. She quickly said, "How can this be possible? I know nothing about housekeeping. Besides, where are you going? If you have something to do, can't you ask the servants to do it? How can I be at ease if you go alone now? If that's not possible, then take your eldest brother with you."
After hearing this, Song Wanning just sighed, "Now this matter has to be done by me personally. I'm afraid others won't be able to handle it."
"I'll take care of everything in the mansion. You just need to secure your position as the head of the household. If anyone comes to cause trouble, just bring your men to chase them away. I know this won't be easy, but right now, there's really no other solution." Song Wanning held Lu Zijun's hand and said softly, "Sister-in-law, you know, my husband and I don't have any other relatives at home. Everyone in the Yin Mansion is a jackal, tiger or leopard."
Seeing this, Lu Zijun immediately agreed, "Don't worry, Wan Ning, I will naturally help you guard everything and wait for your return. If I can't handle it myself, I will call my mother from the Lu Mansion. If that doesn't work, I will also call your eldest brother over. We will guard it together. I don't believe those thieves can cause any trouble."
Song Wanning was amused by Lu Zijun after hearing this. "With you in charge of this family, I feel much more at ease."
Song Wanning said as she went into the mansion and arranged all the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She then handed the housekeeper's card to Lu Zijun and said, "I will leave early tomorrow morning. I will leave all the affairs of this family to you, sister-in-law."
Lu Zijun was so excited to take on such a big responsibility that her eyes suddenly turned red.
The next morning, Song Wanning left the capital with a big belly, and the news soon reached the Yin Mansion.
Wu Junrou looked at Mother Shen and asked in surprise, "She's gone? Do you know where she went?"
"Madam, I don't know. Our people followed her and saw her leaving the city, but we don't know where she was going." Mother Shen looked at Wu Junrou and asked in confusion, "Madam, at this critical moment, why would she, a pregnant woman, run out of the city on her own?"
Wu Junrou looked at Mother Shen beside her and was also puzzled. "She's out of town right now. I don't know why, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is in financial trouble now, so it's time for us to take action. As the Prime Minister's aunt, it's my duty to manage the Mansion on his behalf during this critical moment."
Upon hearing this, Mother Shen quickly agreed, "Madam, you are very far-sighted. However, that shrew Lu Zijun is still guarding the Prime Minister's Mansion. I heard that because she can't manage the household, she even brought her parents here from the Lu Mansion."
Wu Junrou burst out laughing when she heard this. "If this gets out, I'm afraid everyone in the capital will laugh their heads off. The Prime Minister's Mansion is actually being run by an outsider. I'm afraid there's no joke in the capital funnier than this."
Seeing this, Mother Shen said, "Madam, isn't this a special situation? But now, it's time for Madam to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to do some work. That shrew actually beat Madam two days ago. It's time for Madam to take revenge."
Wu Junrou chuckled softly, looking at Mother Shen beside her, and said, "You still understand me, but right now, I do have a different plan. Isn't there a concubine who used to be in the Zhongping Marquis's residence here now? She and Song Wanning were at each other's throats back then. If we can take advantage of her now, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Go, have our people stationed in the Prime Minister's Mansion invite her over. I need to have a good talk with her."
Mother Shen said yes and went out to work.
Meanwhile, Cui Xiaoxiao in the Prime Minister's Mansion was still busy researching her new things. Now that she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, since she had skills and could make money, no servants dared to gossip about her.
