After hearing this, Song Wanning immediately smiled at Wu Junrou and said, "Aunt, you're joking. I've always been so busy with things, but I didn't expect you to find time to come. These snacks are because my sister-in-law is here. I prepared all of this for her. We're all family, so it just happened that she came along."
When Wu Junrou heard Song Wanning mention Lu Zijun's name, her face changed immediately. She still remembered the quarrel she had with Lu Zijun in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lu Zijun was very powerful when scolding people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, leaving Wu Junrou unable to fight back.
I just don’t know why Lu Zijun is staying here at this moment.
As soon as Wu Junrou entered the room, she saw Lu Zijun standing up from her chair with a smile on her face. She smiled at Wu Junrou and said, "Madam, it has been a long time since I last saw you. I feel very cordial when I saw you today. I just don't know if you miss me."
Wu Junrou wanted to roll her eyes at Lu Zijun when she heard this, but she still forced a smile on her face and said to Lu Zijun, "Zijun, you're joking. I heard that you're living a good life in the General's Mansion. It's just that there's no mistress in the General's Mansion, so I'm afraid you'll have to learn to be a housekeeper. How can you still have time to come here and take care of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Madam, to be honest, it's not that I wanted to come here, but the Prime Minister's Mansion needs help right now. We are relatives in the capital, and no matter how busy my family is, I still have to come and help Wan Ning. Isn't that what you think, Madam?" After Lu Zijun said this, she immediately smiled at Wu Junrou.
Seeing this scene, Wu Junrou immediately coughed twice, her heart was so angry that she vomited blood, but her face was still calm, "Zi Jun is right, if it weren't for the matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I wouldn't have to come here now."
Wu Junrou said, sitting on the chair and looking at Lu Zijun's appearance, she slowly said tentatively, "Miss Zijun, how long do you plan to help at the Prime Minister's Mansion? If you have something to do in the General's Mansion, I will come here to help Wan Ning. If you have something else to do, you can go back first."
When Lu Zijun heard this, she laughed and said, "My lady, what you said is true. I don't plan to leave in the short term. After all, the General's Mansion is not Wan Ning's home. There is only Wan Ning in the Prime Minister's Mansion right now. I am the daughter-in-law of the General's Mansion, and I can barely be considered half a family member of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion needs help, it is natural for me to come and help. I can't do any important work in the General's Mansion on weekdays. But my lady is the head of the Yin Mansion. If my lady is not in the Yin Mansion now, I don't know how chaotic it will be. If my lady is busy at home, I think she should go back early. I am here to support her, so she doesn't have to worry."
Wu Junrou looked at Lu Zijun, the sharp-tongued girl, and felt angry, but she could only grit her teeth and swallow it. At this moment, she looked at Lu Zijun, the dead girl, with hatred, but she couldn't do anything to her, which really made Wu Junrou's teeth itch with hatred.
Wu Junrou still spoke to Lu Zijun, "Zijun, I have a son and daughter-in-law at home right now. I was worried that the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't have an elder in charge, and I was afraid that the servants would look down on Wan Ning as just a pregnant lady. That's why I thought of helping Wan Ning. I didn't expect Zijun to think the same as me."
Lu Zijun laughed dryly twice and said slowly, "Then you and Madam are truly destined to be together."
Wu Junrou saw Lu Zijun guarding Song Wanning like a gatekeeper, which really made her anxious. Seeing Lu Zijun here, she wanted to say something provocative, but she couldn't. Fortunately, she had already discussed with Shen's mother to put on a play.
Sure enough, not long after, Mother Shen came running in from outside and immediately said to Wu Junrou, "Madam, something bad has happened, Madam. The master just came back from outside with some news, saying... saying..."
Wu Junrou glanced at Mother Shen and immediately said, "What did you say? What news did the master bring back?"
Mother Shen was standing at the door. She glanced at Song Wanning and then at Wu Junrou, and immediately showed an embarrassed expression. Seeing this, Wu Junrou stood up and walked over to Mother Shen, saying, "What's the matter?"
At this moment, Mother Shen leaned close to Wu Junrou's ear and chattered for a long time, and Wu Junrou also showed an embarrassed expression.
Wu Junrou turned her head and looked at Song Wanning, then slowly said, "Wanning, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
Song Wanning looked at Wu Junrou and thought it was ridiculous, but she still asked, "Aunt, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. I can bear it."
Wu Junrou hesitantly said to Song Wanning, "Your uncle just came back from outside. He said he heard from his colleagues in the court that Governor Gu must be furious. He threatened to kill the Prime Minister. What should we do? If the Prime Minister is gone, how will you live the rest of your life, Wanning?"
After hearing this, Song Wanning immediately said, "Aunt, is this true? If the Prime Minister is gone, how will I live?"
Song Wanning looked terrified, which pleased Wu Junrou. She immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Wanning, you are now guarding such a huge family business in the Prime Minister's Mansion. You are a weak woman and don't have much energy to guard it. You must be careful of those outside. You don't know what crazy things they can do for the property. As for the Prime Minister, your uncle will definitely find a way to rescue him. Even if the Prime Minister is gone, your uncle and I will still treat you as a family member."
Song Wanning sneered in her heart when she heard what Wu Junrou said.
Before Song Wanning could say anything, Lu Zijun, who was standing beside her, could no longer hold back. He took a few steps forward and slapped Wu Junrou in the face, laughing coldly, "We're giving you face by chatting with you. We respect you as an elder when you come here, but you keep saying that the Prime Minister is dying and will make Wanning a widow. Where in the world can we find relatives like you? You even talk about guarding against outsiders coveting the Prime Minister's wealth. I'm afraid you are the one coveting the Prime Minister's wealth. Look at the vicious words you say. It makes me want to vomit. Get out of here now."
Wu Junrou was stunned by Lu Zijun's slap and immediately shouted at Lu Zijun, "You...you dare to hit me? Who gave you the courage to hit me?"
