Chapter 196 Explanation
Many guests came to the wedding banquet at the General's Mansion, and even the incident involving Yan Yuzhi happened.
Fortunately, Yan Yuzhi's incident did not cause any trouble and was soon settled. The guests at the wedding banquet were all paying attention to the newlyweds, and few people saw that Yan Yuzhi, the son of the richest man in Beijing, had any unpleasantness with a girl.
Since Song Wanning got married, she rarely spoke to Lu Zijun, and she had never even seen her face. Now, she turned around and found that she had become her sister-in-law, which was really unexpected for Song Wanning.
It was just that Song Wanning didn't expect this, and Lu Zijun felt that she was sorry for Song Wanning. Since she started to like Song Lan, she had never told Song Wanning about this. When she wanted to tell her later, everything had already been settled, and she couldn't find a chance to tell Song Wanning.
Although she wanted to find a chance to explain, she was always delayed by various things. In a blink of an eye, she actually got married. Now the arrow is on the string, making Lu Zijun anxious.
Now that she was married, Lu Zijun felt even more guilty, and kept thinking about explaining it to Song Wanning. She sat on the bed, lowered her head and asked Qingling, the little maid beside her, "Go out and look for her. With such a big event today, Sister Ning should be here. If you find her, let her come in and talk to me in private."
The maidservant beside Lu Zijun responded and met Song Wanning at the door just as she went out. The maidservant Qingling was so happy that she almost jumped up, "Miss Ning, you are finally here. Our lady is still thinking about seeing you. She just said she has something to say to you. Come in quickly and have a good talk with our lady."
Song Wanning raised her head slightly and looked at Qingling, smiling faintly, "So, my good sister-in-law wants to see me now?"
"That's right." Qing Ling said, and hurriedly pulled Song Wan Ning's sleeve and walked into the house, "Miss Ning, I think it's been a while since I saw you, so you might as well talk to our girl here."
While no one was paying attention, Song Wanning slipped into Lu Zijun and Song Lan's bedroom.
Qing Ling hurried forward and said to Lu Zijun, "Good girl, Miss Ning has come to you. You may as well have a good talk with her."
When Lu Zijun heard this, she could no longer hold back her temper. She immediately lifted the red veil and looked at Song Wanning, just in time to meet a pair of smiling eyes.
Lu Zijun only heard Song Wanning say, "Good sister-in-law, are you looking for me?"
After hearing this, Lu Zijun looked at Song Wanning and blushed. She looked at Song Wanning and said, "Look at what you said. You usually call me sister, but you suddenly changed your tone. I'm not used to it..."
Song Wanning crossed her arms and looked at Lu Zijun with a smile, "Please explain to me, dear sister-in-law, what is going on. I wanted to ask you when we got engaged, but I was delayed by many things."
Seeing that she was now married, Lu Zijun did not hide it from Song Wanning. She looked at her and slowly said, "When I came down from Red Leaf Mountain that day, I liked your brother the first time I saw him. But my reputation is not good, so I dare not tell you rashly, so I had to think of other ways..."
"I see." Song Wanning walked closer, looked at Lu Zijun and chuckled, "That's why you came back with my Song family's carriage, and later asked me to go to your house to inquire about my brother's study at Bishui Hall. You wanted to have a future, right?"
When Lu Zijun saw that Song Wanning had exposed her, her face immediately turned red like an apple. Lu Zijun, who was usually arrogant and domineering, could actually be so embarrassed. "Yes... right. I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. Now that I'm married, just tell me what you want, and I will do my best to make it up to you if I can."
"Then what can you compensate me with? I'd like to hear it." Song Wanning leaned against the bed, her smile becoming even brighter.
Lu Zijun was generous. She immediately opened her dowry box and took out a lot of land deeds from it. She looked at Song Wanning and said slowly, "These are the best land and shops my parents gave me. The location is also excellent. Please choose carefully and I will give you one."
Song Wanning raised her eyebrows when she heard this, took two steps forward and looked at the box that Lu Zijun handed over, pretending to flip through it, "Oh, the shop in the West Square of the capital, this is a good place. One hundred acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing is also a good place... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I want them all, what should I do?"
After Song Wanning said this, she raised her eyes and looked at Lu Zijun, looking at her with a smile.
Seeing this, Lu Zijun was not polite. He stood up and raised his hand to hit Song Wanning, "You greedy ghost, you want to take away all my dowry. How can I live in the general's mansion in the future? I'll give you a room, just take it, and be honest."
Song Wanning stepped aside and smiled at Lu Zijun, "I was just joking with you. You are now my sister-in-law and a close friend of mine. I can come back later. If my brother marries someone I don't know, I'm afraid it will be awkward when we meet in the future. I'm happier than anyone else that you can marry my brother. The only thing that makes me angry is that you didn't tell me and kept it a secret. You treated me as an outsider."
"Oh, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, Miss Ning. I won't do it again." Lu Zijun smiled and sat back on the bed. "If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me and I will definitely help you."
The two were arguing when there was a sudden noise outside. Lu Zijun was so scared that she quickly covered her head with a veil.
Soon the door creaked open. The mother who came with the dowry from the Lu residence saw the current scene and knew that Lu Zijun was probably not honest. She immediately said, "Oh my little ancestor, how can you take off this veil casually? Hurry up and put it on."
Lu Zijun responded softly, "I know, Mom. I'm being good."
"If you listen, the sun will rise from the west." The mother glanced at Qingling beside Lu Zijun and whispered, "Watch the girl carefully and don't let her lift her veil again. If the girl is hungry, find her some fruits to eat."
Qingling responded and stood back.
Lu Zijun's mother turned around and looked at Song Wanning, smiling, and said to Song Wanning, "Excuse me, madam. Our daughter has never been used to following rules."
"You're too polite, mom. My sister-in-law and I have been close friends, and now we're a family, so there's no need to be estranged from each other." Song Wanning smiled. She knew that her mother was ordering her to leave, so she said goodbye to Lu Zijun and left the house.
