The Prime Minister's wife estimated that the time was about right, so she took the housekeeper to the same courtyard.

There was no movement in the room, only Fu Yue was seen guarding outside the door.

She secretly rejoiced, it seemed that the matter was accomplished.

So what if you have outstanding looks?

So what if he is the Prime Minister’s legitimate son?

The only one who can inherit the Prime Minister's Mansion is the child in her belly, how can that little bastard be worthy of it?

Thanks to his good looks, it is her honor to be favored by the eldest princess.

She heard that the princess had many tricks in bed. As long as he was favored by the princess, brought back home and became her plaything, she didn't believe there was anything else he could do.

Thinking of this, the Prime Minister's wife couldn't help but feel a little happy. She thought that her goal would be achieved soon and she could rest assured.

She asked gently, "Is the princess in there?

Fu Yue did not answer, but just said: "Is there anything the Prime Minister's wife needs?"

"Nothing, I just came to see the eldest princess." The Prime Minister's wife said with a smile.

The door was opened from the inside and Yan Jiaojiao walked out.

"Madam Prime Minister, is there something wrong?"

"Princess, are you satisfied with what I gave you?" The Prime Minister's wife asked softly when she saw her come out.

Yan Jiaojiao looked at her with a smile, "I wonder what the lady means by satisfied?"

The Prime Minister's wife thought she was testing him, so she simply said, "Princess, are you satisfied with Zhiyin? If you are, you can take her back home."

"What is the Prime Minister's wife saying? I don't quite understand." Yan Jiaojiao asked with a puzzled look on her face.

The Prime Minister's wife was also a little confused. Yan Jiaojiao's reaction seemed wrong.

"Did the Princess see Zhiyin?"

"I have not seen anything like that. Madam Prime Minister, what you said is going to ruin my reputation."

The Prime Minister's wife didn't know what was going on, so she asked, "Can you let me in to take a look?"

"casual."

Yan Jiaojiao stepped aside and let her go in.

There was no one inside, and no signs of what had happened afterwards.

Shen Zhiyin is not here?

The Prime Minister's wife was a little surprised and turned around to look at the housekeeper.

Isn't it said to be foolproof?

The housekeeper was also confused. He had clearly had someone tie Shen Zhiyin up and put him on the bed. Shen Zhiyin had no power to resist at all, but now he disappeared out of thin air.

"Why does the Prime Minister's wife look so surprised? Didn't she say she would give me a gift? Is the Prime Minister's wife's gift this empty house?"

Yan Jiaojiao asked pretending to be confused.

"This... is all my fault. I thought I was ready, but it turned out to be such a misunderstanding. Please forgive me, Princess."

Seeing that things had not been done, the Prime Minister's wife had no choice but to admit her mistake.

If she fails this time, there's always next time. Anyway, that little bastard is still in the mansion, so she has plenty of opportunities.

But offending the eldest princess is a different matter. If you say something in front of His Majesty, it will be more trouble than gain.

She winked at the butler, who was also a smart man. He immediately understood and knelt down.

"It's all my fault. I didn't do my job well. Please punish me, Princess."

The butler knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to admit his mistake.

"Really? That really disappoints me." Yan Jiaojiao said lazily, with a hint of disappointment in her tone.

"It is my fault. A few days ago, the Prime Minister brought back a moon pearl from Wusu. If the princess doesn't mind, I will consider it as my apology to her."

The Prime Minister's wife had a smile on her face, but she felt very painful in her heart.

The Moon Pearl was just brought back by her master, but it was extremely rare and she had never seen such a beautiful pearl.

But now there is no other way, I can only do this to please the princess.

"Moon Pearl? What is that?" Yan Jiaojiao asked with interest.

"It is a rare and rare item. Its color is like the bright moonlight. It is dazzling and glows at night. If you put it in a room, it will illuminate the whole room without candles. It is very suitable for the princess."

The Prime Minister's wife explained word by word, and asked the butler, who had just been kneeling on the ground, to go to the warehouse to get it.

"It sounds good." Yan Jiaojiao replied indifferently.

Soon, the butler brought over the so-called Moon Pearl, which contained a very exquisite and luxurious box.

The butler held the box in his hand and handed it to Yan Jiaojiao very respectfully.

"Shall I open it for the princess to see?"

Yan Jiaojiao hummed lightly, and then said: "Open this palace and see what kind of strange thing it is."

Upon hearing this, the butler slowly opened the box in his hand. As soon as it opened a crack, the luster of the beads shone through.

As the box was gradually opened, the moon pearl inside emitted a luster as bright as moonlight, which was very beautiful.

"Is the princess satisfied?" the Prime Minister's wife asked cautiously.

"Yes, thank you very much, Madam Prime Minister."

Yan Jiaojiao was not polite and gestured to Fu Yue beside her to accept it.

Fu Yue understood and took the box from the butler.

"Since everything is fine, I will return home first."

Yan Jiaojiao stood up and said leisurely.

"Your Highness respectfully sends you off, Princess. Please come in."

The Prime Minister's wife's etiquette is impeccable, but it's a pity...

Yan Jiaojiao nodded, took Fu Yue's hand and walked out, followed by the Prime Minister's wife.

It was not until she saw Yan Jiaojiao get on the carriage that the Prime Minister's wife immediately changed her expression.

Her face was sinister, and she asked in a cold voice: "What's going on? Where is Shen Zhiyin?"

"Madam, I personally had him carried into the room and placed on the bed. The servants all saw it and can testify for me."

The butler hurriedly explained in fear and trepidation, fearing that the Prime Minister's wife would not believe him.

The Prime Minister's wife frowned, her tone full of resentment: "Useless, he can't even do this. I thought he was a brainless idiot. I underestimated him."

Seeing the housekeeper's confident look, she thought he would not dare to lie to her, so the problem could only be with Shen Zhiyin.

Her stepson is not as simple as he seems.

"Are you sure he drank the medicine?" the Prime Minister's wife asked again.

"Yes, I gave him the medicine myself and watched him drink it." The butler said seriously.

Since he drank the medicine, the drug must have taken effect and he can't go anywhere.

I originally wanted to send him to the eldest princess's bed, but now it is no longer possible. I'd better find someone first.

"In that case, why don't you send someone to look for him? If they can't find him, you'll be the one to blame."

"Yes, I'll send someone to look for him right away." The butler responded quickly.

The Prime Minister's wife adjusted her mood, put a kind smile back on her face, and walked back to the banquet.

She came to the prime minister again and said with a smile, "Why don't you see Zhiyin?"

The Prime Minister was about to answer when she heard a voice behind her.

"The Prime Minister's wife is so concerned about Zhiyin, but is there something she wants to talk to Zhiyin about?"

Shen Zhiyin asked with a smile.
