Chapter 137 Eve
Song Wanning put down the embroidery in her hand and stood in front of Song Jing. She said to Song Jing, "Father, do you have anything to say to your daughter?"
Song Jing sighed, looked at Song Wanning and said, "The Prime Minister's Mansion is a high-ranking family, much higher than the Zhongping Marquis' Mansion. Although you married into a noble family before, you are now married to the powerful Yin Yichen. The Yin family has a complicated family background, and you will inevitably have to deal with the Yin family in the future. You are grown up now, and you have your own ideas in your mind, but you have to be careful in everything."
"I understand, father. I will keep it in mind."
Song Wanning knew clearly that Song Jing was worried that she would not be able to extricate herself from the Yin family's background. However, now, she had no good way to tell Song Jing to trust her. She could only wait until her life was better in the future to reassure Song Jing.
"But then again, although Yin Yichen is a high-ranking official, our family is not much worse than the Yin family. Wan Ning is more than qualified to marry the prime minister. Dad has heard rumors in the capital recently, so Wan Ning doesn't need to take it to heart." Song Jing was also angry when he mentioned this, and he just said in a muffled voice, "Yin Yichen is just good-looking, how can he be compared with our beautiful and intelligent Wan Ning. He has a bad reputation, and it is a blessing that can only be cultivated in several lifetimes to marry Wan Ning."
Seeing how Song Jing loved her, Song Wanning was moved. She smiled and said, "Father is right. My marriage to the Prime Minister is a blessing that he can only cultivate in several lifetimes."
"If he treats you badly in the future, just come back home and tell him. Your father will seek justice for you." Song Jing looked at Song Wanning and sighed, "Since your father allowed you to divorce once, he can also allow you to divorce a second time."
Song Wanning responded softly and looked at Song Jing with great emotion.
In her previous life, Song Wanning had wasted her whole life in the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion, and she had never had the chance to talk to Song Jing like this. Song Jing had never seen her get married, and had never said such soothing words to her. Now that Song Wanning heard this, she was moved.
"Alright, alright, you're a grown-up girl now. Father will go and help you check on the dowry that the family has prepared for you. Otherwise, you won't be outdone by Yin Yichen."
After Song Jing said this, he turned and left Song Wanning's yard, leaving her alone there.
Song Wanning felt warm in her heart. The betrothal gifts sent by Yin Yichen were so overwhelming that they filled up the entire yard. The second wife next door was terribly jealous when she saw these betrothal gifts. If there was no separation, they would have had a share of these betrothal gifts, but it was too late to say anything now.
Yin Yichen sent such a large betrothal gift, and Song Jing was even more determined to buy Song Wanning a generous dowry so that she could live a decent life in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Song Wanning knew clearly how much Song Jing loved her, so she finally sat back and tinkered with her own embroidery.
Who would have thought that not long after, Song Lan sneaked into the yard again.
Seeing her busy with embroidery, Song Lan sat beside her with some displeasure and said, "You are the legitimate daughter of our general's mansion, why do you need to tinker with these things? Naturally, only the servants can do these things."
"Brother, my daughter's embroidery is my own. I don't embroider all of them, so how can I embroider so many? It's just that I have nothing to do now, so I embroider some things." Song Wanning glanced at Song Lan helplessly, and said lightly, "Brother, do you have anything to say when you come here?"
Song Lan raised his eyebrows, looked at Song Wanning and said, "Yin Yichen is a man with many tricks and schemes. No one can take advantage of him. At the beginning, my brother advised you not to get married, but you didn't listen. If you suffer in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"Brother!" Song Wanning put down the embroidery in her hand, looked at Song Lan unhappily and said, "If you came here just to say these sour words, you can leave now."
Seeing Song Wanning glaring at him, Song Lan just smiled and explained, "I want to say that even though you are married to him, you are still the daughter of our Song family. If you don't have a good life in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, just come back and tell Dad and me, and we will naturally make the decision for you."
"Dad just mentioned it to me once, I know, big brother."
Although Song Lan and Song Wanning quarreled with each other on weekdays, they were still siblings after all. Song Lan was still worried about Song Wanning, fearing that she would be bullied in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"It's good that you know. Don't keep everything in your heart." Song Lan's eyes darkened. "You have concealed a lot of things in the past. If I hadn't checked carefully, I wouldn't know what kind of life you lived in the general's mansion."
After hearing what Song Lan said, Song Wanning was a little surprised, "Brother...you actually went to check?"
"Why do you think Daddy is so determined to split up the family? Isn't it because he knows the injustice you've suffered?" Song Lan patted Song Wanning on the shoulder and sighed, "I don't know who you inherited this sullen personality from."
Song Wanning smiled but said nothing. After a while, she spoke, "I know. If I am wronged in the future, I will definitely tell you. Besides, my father is a mighty general of the dynasty, and my eldest brother is also a major general in the army. Who dares to bully me?"
"Yes, yes, no one dares to bully you." Song Lan looked at Song Wanning helplessly.
The two talked for a while. Just as Song Lan was about to leave, he heard Zhuque running in from outside in a hurry and said to Song Wanning, "Miss, the Prime Minister sent someone to deliver your wedding dress."
"Wedding dress?" Song Wanning was a little speechless now.
Nowadays, for couples getting married in the capital, the bride usually prepares her own wedding dress, but now there are cases where the groom actually prepares the dress for the bride.
Song Lan stood aside, frowning and said, "Does he know the size of your wedding dress? He asked someone to prepare it for you."
Zhuque hurriedly said, "The person sent by the Prime Minister said that this wedding dress was made according to the size of our girl's clothes a few months ago. They are just waiting for you to try it on. If it doesn't fit, we will ask the embroiderer in the capital to make some changes while we have the chance."
Song Lan sensed something wrong in this, "A few months ago? Could it be that he had been secretly communicating with you a few months ago and knew the size of your clothes?"
Song Wanning shook her head guiltily, and just looked at Song Lan and said, "How would I know how he knew the size of my clothes? But now that the clothes have been delivered, I won't lose anything if I try them on. Don't you agree, brother?"
"Okay, you can do it yourself." Song Lan shook his head helplessly, "I really can't control you now."
Song Wanning chuckled and said to the person carrying the box behind her, "Just carry it to my room. I'll try it out to see if it fits me."
