The ladies who originally suspected Zhou Churou suddenly realized——

Yes, what legitimate daughter would talk to a concubine? What legitimate daughter would be so defenseless against a concubine that she would listen to everything she said?

Zhou Churou gave Song Yunxi a grateful look.

Upon hearing the news that his wife was humiliated and bullied by a concubine, Zhu Xuanheng hurried from the main hall to the imperial garden. Seeing Song Yunxi from afar, he immediately felt relieved and slowed down his hurried pace.

Prime Minister Zhou also rushed over in a hurry.

When Song Yunxi saw that Prime Minister Zhou was breathing rapidly and had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead because he walked so fast, she knew that he loved and cared about Zhao Yunwei as much as the rumors said.

Zhu Xuanheng nodded and greeted Song Yunxi, then went to see Mrs. Zhu with concern.

Prime Minister Zhou stumbled towards the waterside pavilion in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Seeing Zhao Yunwei's swollen cheeks, he took her into his arms with great concern: "Wei'er, what's wrong with you?"

Her backer finally arrived. Zhao Yunwei threw herself into Prime Minister Zhou's arms and sobbed tenderly, "Prime Minister, please make the decision for me!"

Prime Minister Zhou completely disregarded etiquette and flirted with his concubine in public, which made everyone frown in displeasure.

What kind of system is this?

Seeing the gloom between Prime Minister Zhou's brows, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes again.

It’s really interesting!

The beloved woman wept with wounds on her face. She happened to see her usually cold daughter there, so she vented her anger on Zhou Churou: "Your second mother was wronged, and you didn't know how to protect her. Is this how I taught you to be a child?"

The ladies sitting there looked at Prime Minister Zhou as if he were an idiot.

[Isn't this old man a fool? How did he become the prime minister? ]

Prime Minister Zhou, who was about to scold his daughter, was choked by the sudden voice.

Who? Who is mocking the truth?

But when he looked around, he didn't see anyone opening their mouth.

Song Yunxi gently waved the fan in her hand: "Prime Minister Zhou is really good at telling jokes. It's okay to bring a concubine into the palace for a banquet, but why do we have to change the rules and etiquette of our Jin'an Dynasty? If you don't know, you would think that the whole world in the Jin'an Dynasty is surnamed Zhou!"

Although Song Yunxi's voice was soft, her words were not polite at all. She was just short of holding Prime Minister Zhou's nose and asking him if he was planning a rebellion.

Prime Minister Zhou was shocked: "Miss Song, please be careful with your words!"

If these words were to reach the emperor's ears, their Zhou family would be in danger of being wiped out.

However, Prime Minister Zhou also confirmed that the voice that had just scolded him was that of Song Yunxi.

Song Yunxi said indifferently, "Instead of asking me to be careful with my words, it is better for you, Prime Minister, to be careful with your actions. When did the legitimate daughters of our Jin'an Dynasty treat a lowly concubine who is not worthy of being on the stage as their mother? What is Prime Minister Zhou planning to do by disregarding the rules and regulations of the court?"

Such a soft-spoken question made Prime Minister Zhou break out in a cold sweat.

He doted on Zhao Yunwei and gave her great respect in the mansion. The servants addressed her from Second Madam to Madam, so much so that he himself forgot that she was a concubine and not his principal wife.

That's why he scolded Zhou Churou for disrespecting elders in public.

At this moment his mind calmed down, and he realized that the ladies around him were looking at him with contempt and disdain, as if he were some dirty and filthy thing.

Zhu Xuanheng appeared at the right time: "The Prime Minister disregarded etiquette and brought a concubine into the palace and humiliated the wife of an official in public. I will report this to the emperor and ask him to make a decision!"

"Master Zhu..."

Prime Minister Zhou was interrupted by Song Yunxi as soon as he opened his mouth: "Master Zhu, you forgot one thing. Prime Minister Zhou's concubine is very well connected. She even knows everything about the Zhu family's request for the Taifu Mansion to adopt a child. You must report this to the Emperor and ask our Prime Minister how many spies he has planted in the Taifu Mansion."

Zhu Xuanheng said righteously: "Miss Song reminded me of this, and I will report it truthfully. The Prime Minister will give my Grand Tutor's Mansion an explanation!"

Prime Minister Zhou had no idea this had happened and looked at Zhao Yunwei in shock.

How did Weier know about this matter that he had never even heard of?

Zhao Yunwei was completely panicked: "Prime Minister, I am innocent. I really heard it from others!"

Zhao Yunwei could see that the eldest daughter of the Imperial Master's Mansion was not someone who was easy to get along with, and it was obvious that she was on Zhou Churou's side, so she must not drag Zhou Churou into the matter at this time, otherwise she would be even more overwhelmed.

Her pitiful appearance softened Prime Minister Zhou's heart again, and the blame that had just arisen in his mind disappeared in an instant.

[This fool doesn't even know that he doesn't have much time left! ]

The sweet words that were originally intended to comfort Zhao Yunwei were instantly shattered by Song Yunxi's words.

He was not dazzled and was very sure that Miss Song had not spoken just now.

So, I heard her voice?

But none of this matters. What he cares about most is who is the person she is thinking of who has not much time left?

[Zhao Yunwei is a descendant of the Wei family of the previous dynasty. Her charm technique is mediated by poisonous insects. Judging from Prime Minister Zhou's complexion, I'm afraid that the poisonous insects have already merged into his blood. There's really no way to save her.]

boom!

Prime Minister Zhou felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting.

No, he didn't believe it, she must be talking nonsense!

But what Song Yunxi thought next finally made him feel relieved -

[I'm afraid he has noticed something these days. Not only has his appetite increased, but he has also become extremely greedy for sex. I'm afraid he wants to die on Zhao Yunwei.]

[But after each intercourse, I felt extremely tired and weak, and could not recover for several days. I even had blood in my urine.]

[I'm afraid that every time I think about being restrained and cultivating my character, I can't control myself when I meet Zhao Yunwei. ]

That’s right, what she was thinking matched exactly the symptoms he had been experiencing over the past six months!

Prime Minister Zhou suddenly turned pale.

He is only forty, in the prime of life, and doesn't want to die.

[Humph, this is the retribution for favoring his concubine over his wife and mistreating his first wife! ]

Prime Minister Zhou looked at his only legitimate daughter. She looked very much like his wife, and it seemed that he saw the appearance of his ex-wife in her.

He got married after he passed the imperial examination and became an official. After marriage, he was so focused on his official career that he always neglected his wife. However, his wife not only had no complaints, but also took care of everything in the inner house for him so that he didn't have to worry.

It was not until his career improved that he had time to accompany his wife, so their only daughter came a little late.

During those years, he and his wife lived in harmony, and after having a daughter, the family became even happier.

Later, he became more and more powerful in his official position, with more and more affairs to deal with. His wife also grew old, and their relationship became less affectionate like that of an ordinary couple. Except for the first and fifteenth days of the month when he stayed in her room, he stayed in the study all other days.

But even lying in bed with his wife, he no longer had the same desires and impulses as before.

He thought he had become more indifferent as he grew older, until he met Zhao Yunwei, when he truly experienced a man's impulse and urgent desire, which he had never experienced before.
