Seeing Song Wanning's insistence, Song Jing was in a difficult position due to his previous agreement with Yin Yichen. However, he was unwilling to let Song Wanning marry him. He looked at Song Wanning and said, "Wanning, you really want to marry the Prime Minister now? If Xuanzhi comes back, how will you ask your father to explain to Xuanzhi and the Pei family?"
Song Wanning stood to one side and said lightly, "Father, when Xuanzhi comes back, I will explain everything to him myself."
Song Jing looked helpless. He really couldn't do anything about Song Wanning. "You... you really must marry the Prime Minister? All my father's daily teachings have been wasted."
It was rare for Song Wanning to reason with Song Jing like this. "Father, what my eldest brother said just now has enlightened me. The Prime Minister is determined to marry me now, but Xuanzhi is not like that. If I hadn't divorced him, I'm afraid we would never be together in this life. Since this is the case, it's just the same as before. He just pretends that I never divorced him. Besides, father has also found other families for me before, and father also feels that Xuanzhi is not the only one, right?"
"It's useless for me to object now." Seeing Song Wanning's determination, Song Jing could only sigh, "Now that the Prime Minister has obtained the imperial decree to grant the marriage, there is no other way. In this case, let's send the invitation and get engaged."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yichen calmly moved towards Song Wanning. He stood beside her, a smile on his lips, and said softly, "Thank you for your help, General. With time, I will surely let you know how I feel about Wanning."
Song Jing snorted coldly, but didn't say anything else. He just glanced at Yin Yichen and didn't bother to care about him anymore. "Since the Prime Minister has planned everything out, he must really want to treat Wan Ning well. If you treat Wan Ning badly in the future, I will definitely take her back. It doesn't matter if we divorce again."
Yin Yichen glanced at Song Wanning beside him and said, "I treat Wanning like a treasure in my hand, how could I bear to treat her badly?"
Before Yin Yichen could continue, Song Wanning raised her hand and gently pulled Yin Yichen's sleeve, saying in a low voice, "My father is angry, so please be quiet."
Yin Yichen smiled and said to Song Wanning in a very low voice, "Okay."
Seeing the two people's little actions, Song Jing became more and more annoyed. He said to Song Wanning, "The reason I asked you to come here is done. Go back to the courtyard and rest. The hall is full of men now. It is really impolite for you to stay here."
"I understand, father." Song Wanning responded and turned to leave the main hall.
Now that the marriage was settled, there was a commotion in other courtyards of the general's mansion.
Now that the situation had become so serious that the entire General's Mansion knew about it, Song Wanshi immediately refused to accept the engagement between Song Wanning and the Prime Minister. She quickly found Nan Hongqiu, feeling very upset. "Madam, didn't you say that the Prime Minister would never be interested in Song Wanning? How did this marriage happen?"
Nan Hongqiu was now at her wit's end. She looked at Song Wanshi helplessly and said, "Little Ning is too powerful. She even asked the Prime Minister to come to the palace to ask for an imperial decree. Even though mother has great connections, there's really nothing she can do to her."
Song Wanshi became even more unhappy when she heard this. She said with a dark face, "Mother, are you really just going to watch her marry the Prime Minister and live such a glorious life?"
"Good girl, if Song Wanning marries the Prime Minister, she will suffer countless hardships in the future. Don't worry about her. If she wants to get married, let her marry. We'll just wait and see what happens." Nan Hongqiu was quick-witted and immediately came up with a new idea. She looked at Song Wanshi and said, "Xuanzhi is still in Jiangnan. He originally had his eyes on Wanning, but now Wanning has married someone else, so the marriage with Xuanzhi is off. In this case, let's seize the opportunity and make Xuanzhi our good husband."
Song Wanshi couldn't bear to hear any more of this. She raised her hand and swept everything on the table to the floor, crying, "Why do I have to take what Song Wanning left? Why, why, why, why... Besides, Xuanzhi is far inferior to the Prime Minister. Why is she, a second-married woman, living so well? How can I cope with this?"
Seeing Song Wanshi like this, Nan Hongqiu sighed and looked at her comfortingly, "Good girl, there is only one Prime Minister in the capital. Song Wanning is lucky to have married such an outstanding husband for the second time. Since we can't compare with her, we can only wait for the day when she falls from her high position. But now, your marriage should be put on the agenda. If you don't choose a husband soon, you will get older every year."
Song Wanshi sobbed and raised her eyes and said, "Mother, are we really just going to watch her marry the Prime Minister? I really can't swallow this anger now."
Nan Hongqiu was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. "Now that the matter is settled, unless she ruins her reputation herself, it will be difficult. Besides, the Prime Minister may look dignified and upright, but he does have some tricks up his sleeve."
"What if she loses her reputation?" Song Wanshi muttered absentmindedly. Turning around, her gaze was tinged with a bit of coldness as she said to Nan Hongqiu, "Mother, if that's the case, it would be better to let her lose her reputation so that she won't find a husband in the future."
Seeing Song Wanshi acting so foolishly, Nan Hongqiu immediately whispered to her, "Silly child, if she loses her reputation now, our daughter's reputation will be ruined too. Think about it, if that happens, how are you going to find a good marriage?"
"Then don't spread it out, just keep it to yourself." Song Wanshi now had a clear mind, looking directly at Nan Hongqiu and saying, "Mother, just wait until the incident is over and let Song Wanning know that since she has become a second wife, she should honestly find an ordinary man."
After hearing what Song Wanshi said, Nan Hongqiu also became a little interested. "Sister Shi, what you said makes sense. If that's the case, mother will go down and make arrangements. She will definitely not let Sister Shi down."
Nan Hongqiu said as she walked out the door. Her mother immediately came to her side and asked, "Madam, what are you going to do now?"
"What should we do? Now that the Prime Minister and Miss Ning are engaged, this marriage can't be easily changed." Nan Hongqiu lowered his head in thought and said to his mother, "Send a maid to steal Miss Ning's personal belongings. I have a clever way to use them."
"Madam, are you really going to do this?" Nan Hongqiu's mother, who was standing beside her, was also a little shocked. "If this happens and someone from the first house finds out, I'm afraid we'll never see each other again."
"Do it covertly. There are countless people who want to ruin Miss Ning's reputation." Nan Hongqiu's eyes were heavy, and he only smiled. "I won't do it myself. I'm afraid the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion is now eagerly waiting for the opportunity to show Song Wanning how powerful she is."
