These killers were well-trained. When they saw the carriage in front, they thought of giving a signal. However, the carriage running forward encountered a thick rope across the front, and all the horses fell forward at once.
At this moment, Xique jumped out from the bushes, and the soft sword in his hand shuttled back and forth among several killers. After a while, all the killers fell to the ground.
Xique threw the bodies of the killers into the grass nearby, then picked a horse and went to chase Song Wanning.
Song Wanning usually lives a life of luxury in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is rare for her to go out with only a very small number of people like today.
Song Wanning looked at Pei Xuanzhi beside her and sighed, "It's hard for you to accompany me on this journey. I thank you in my heart."
"Why should we be so polite?" Pei Xuanzhi looked at Song Wanning's determined eyes and finally spoke his mind. "Wanning, I have thought of you for so many years. Even after you became the Prime Minister's wife, I never forgot you. Your family arranged for you to marry Wen Tingbai of the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion. I was angry at myself for not coming to the capital earlier and letting you live like that. I thought that when I came to the capital, I would definitely save you from the dire situation. Who knew that before I even arrived, I heard the news of your divorce. You have no idea how happy I was at that time."
Song Wanning watched Pei Xuanzhi talking about these flowers. She didn't dare to interrupt him and just looked at his serious expression.
Pei Xuanzhi sat in the carriage and continued, "Later, I wanted to marry you, but I couldn't stand the Prime Minister's calculations. I always felt that it was the Prime Minister who was interfering. Otherwise, you could marry me and we could live together in the capital, which would be great. So I also had a fantasy in my heart. The Prime Minister is so arrogant, maybe you will regret marrying him soon. But I didn't expect that after you got married with the Prime Minister, you would treat him with respect. I was so envious and jealous. Later, I was always in my heart. I had fantasized that you would eventually come to me. Or maybe I thought… the Prime Minister was so arrogant and domineering, he had many enemies in the capital. If the Prime Minister ever got into trouble, I would just have to step in and save him, and we could be happily married. But this time, the Pei family was in trouble. The Prime Minister was still willing to help me. Only then did I realize that I was too narrow-minded, selfish, and only wanted to be with you. Now that I look at my previous face, I feel a little ashamed of myself.
Pei Xuanzhi chuckled softly as he spoke, and said to Song Wanning, "I followed you out this time, and seeing you both running around to save the Prime Minister, I finally understood that you two are a match made in heaven. I'm just a passing guest in your life. You were such an outstanding person in the past, and now you're married to the Prime Minister. You and he are together well, and that's what matters most."
Pei Xuanzhi sighed and looked at Song Wanning, "Wanning, I'm letting it go. As soon as the Prime Minister is alright, our family will return to the south. Business in the capital is too risky, and our family no longer does the grain business. We're just waiting to return to Jiangnan. Then, we can live together as a family, and I believe life will be better than in the capital."
After hearing this, Song Wanning looked at Pei Xuanzhi and said, "Xuanzhi, I'm very happy that you can think clearly. I'm just waiting for me to return to Jiangnan with the children in the future. You can't fail to see me."
"Of course." Pei Xuanzhi chuckled softly and looked at Song Wanning and said, "Wanning, no matter what, I'm very happy to meet you."
Song Wanning also smiled faintly, and the two sat opposite each other, without saying a word for a while.
After a while, Song Wanning heard the sound of horse hooves behind her, and immediately turned around to look, just in time to see Xi Que riding a horse towards her from behind.
Song Wanning looked at Xique's appearance, and her worries were finally put to rest. She asked softly, "Are you hurt?"
"Madam, I am not hurt." Xique looked at Song Wanning with a faint smile.
Song Wanning looked at Xi Que's expression and said directly, "I'm afraid this horse is not easy to ride right now. Why don't you get on the carriage and let's ride back to the capital together."
After hearing this, Xi Que responded and got off the horse and got into Song Wanning's carriage.
Song Wanning and her group encountered several killers along the way, but they dealt with them one by one.
When Song Wanning returned to the capital, Xi Que had suffered a minor injury, but fortunately it was nothing serious. Song Wanning went straight into the palace with something in her hand.
After hearing what Song Wanning said, the Queen finally smiled and said to her, "The Prime Minister's wife is indeed worthy of her reputation. I said at the beginning that you must be someone who can handle things, and now I see that it is indeed true."
After hearing this, Song Wanning only smiled faintly and said to the Queen, "I just did a little bit. The most important thing is that someone has already found out."
After hearing this, the Queen looked at Song Wanning and nodded. "I will take care of the rest. I won't bother you, Madam. You've been traveling so hard, I'm afraid you need to rest well."
Song Wanning nodded and came out of the Queen's palace.
But at this time, the capital city was very lively.
Wu Junrou actually called over four or five elders from the Yin family and went with her to the Prime Minister's residence. Wu Junrou now had several elders around her, and she must have been very proud at this moment. She brought Mother Shen with her and entered the courtyard of the Prime Minister's residence.
As soon as Wu Junrou entered the house, she ran into Lu Zijun. Seeing Wu Junrou, Lu Zijun was even more furious and shouted at her on the spot, "Wu Junrou, how dare you come here? Who do you think you are? You actually come to the Prime Minister's Mansion again and again. Do you really think this is your home?"
As soon as Lu Zijun finished speaking, Madam Lu on the side scolded him, "Zijun, shut up."
Madam Lu said as she stepped forward, looked at Wu Junrou and said, "Madam Yin, you must have something to do when you come to the Prime Minister's Mansion today. My daughter has been spoiled since she was a child and is a quick-witted person. Please don't make a fuss about it."
Wu Junrou sneered after hearing this, "Madam Lu, your daughter slapped me a few days ago. Madam, why don't you teach your daughter a lesson?"
After hearing this, Madam Lu turned to Wu Junrou beside her and said, "I'm afraid you've misunderstood. My daughter is quick-witted, but not someone who would resort to violence easily. I'm afraid she just accidentally touched Madam's face a few days ago. Please don't take it personally."
