After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

"Yunyou, even though I've said so much, you still don't agree. Do you think nothing of my little shop?"

Yuan pretended to be angry.

At this time, Madam Qu said, "You'er, since your aunt has said so, you can do it boldly! Don't worry, if you lose money, your grandmother will make it up to you! You don't have to worry about it now, right?"

Old Madam Qu persuaded Yunyou to accept it. First, she heard from her own master that Yunyou did have talent in this area, and his talent was extremely high.

In addition, he has lived in the city since he was a child, and understands human nature better than those who live in big mansions.

In addition, now that Yuanshi has gotten rid of that vicious maid and started preparing for pregnancy, Yunyou could take over the jade pendant to help share some of Yuanshi's burden.

To be honest, Yuanshi is definitely not cut out for business.

Some businesses that were sure to make money were messed up by her.

Moreover, those big shopkeepers under her looked like they could eat up the kind-hearted Yuanshi.

If Yunyou were the one to take over, all those big shopkeepers would be completely subdued.

With both sides persuading him in this way, Yunyou no longer had any hesitation in his heart.

He clasped his hands together and said solemnly: "I will definitely not fail my aunt's mission!"

……

It was soon the Si hour, and it was time for Wen Zehai and his men to leave court.

In the court today, an official pointed out that the Crown Prince's biological mother, Concubine De, committed a serious crime and hanged herself in the palace. The Crown Prince should take the blame for his mother and go to the Taichang Temple to recite scriptures and repent for a year.

This seems to weaken the prince's power.

The situation in the court is changing constantly. Who knows if there will still be a place for the prince in the palace when he returns from praying for blessings?

You know, in addition to the second prince who was born mute, there is also a third prince in the palace.

The third prince's mother was Concubine Li, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. It was unknown how many levels higher her status was than that of Concubine De, who was born a palace maid.

In addition, Defei's reputation is now rotten to the ground, and many people who were originally members of the prince's party want to defect.

But the day before yesterday, Concubine Li was suddenly placed under house arrest in her own palace by His Majesty for unknown reasons, which made those who were preparing to defect hesitate again.

Therefore, when the official spoke, not many people agreed with him.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Ming rejected the censor's proposal.

He just perfunctorily brushed aside the topic by saying, "The incident involving Concubine De will not bring any harm to the Crown Prince."

But anyone can see that the prince is no longer as favored by His Majesty as before.

However, Emperor Ming did not show any importance to the third prince, which made it impossible for everyone to guess his true thoughts.

During the entire morning court session, Prime Minister Qu did not utter a word from beginning to end.

After leaving the hall, Prime Minister Qu called out to Wen Zehai.

"Sea, stay."

"What do you want, father-in-law?" Wen Zehai had a humble smile on his face, hiding the coldness in his eyes very well.

In the past few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in private contact with him.

He also learned from the prince that the prince was somewhat dissatisfied with his father-in-law.

Because some time ago, Prime Minister Qu, who was originally a member of the Prince's Party, proposed to Your Majesty to bring the Second Prince back to the capital.

This was a sign of betrayal to the prince.

When the prince became suspicious of Prime Minister Qu, he naturally came into the prince's sight.

This is a great opportunity for him to rise to the top.

Maybe in the future, he will be able to replace Prime Minister Qu!

He has hated the Qu family for a long time. If such a day comes, he will never forget the humiliation of not being able to raise his head in front of the Qu family.

Background cannot determine everything, so what about being the prime minister?

As long as he can gain the prince's trust, one day he will trample his father-in-law under his feet.

This is the retribution for the Qu family looking down on him!

However, no matter how much Wen Zehai hated Prime Minister Qu in his heart, when facing him, he still showed respect and called him "Father-in-law" affectionately.

Only the one who can bend and stretch is a real man.

However, no matter how well Wen Zehai hid himself or how smart he was, he could not guess that Prime Minister Qu had already learned of Wen Zehai's true identity from Wen Qianqian and Qu.

Moreover, from the very beginning, Prime Minister Qu was not optimistic about Wen Zehai, thinking that this man was too conceited, too serious, and too gloomy.

Now it seems so.

Prime Minister Qu cleared his throat and said, "I thought you wouldn't come to court today, but you didn't delay either of these two things!"

There was complete displeasure in his tone.

Wen Zehai was stunned and asked, "Father-in-law, what do you mean by this? Why am I not attending court today?"

"You know it well enough!"

As Prime Minister Qu said this, he flicked his sleeves and walked away, as if he was filled with anger.

Wen Zehai was stunned.

In the end what happened?

He vaguely felt that something was wrong and walked quickly towards the palace gate.

When he arrived at the door of his house, he saw a big "囍" character and lots of red ribbons hanging on the door.

There was obvious surprise in his eyes, but then he realized what had happened.

Someone in the family is getting married.

Could it be... him?

Could it be that Yin Yue is not dead?

Wait, there’s still no news from the people he sent out. He was overwhelmed by the good news of being promoted to a thousand households these past two days, and yesterday because the old lady was injured, he almost forgot about Yin Yue’s matter completely.

Only at this moment did he suddenly remember that there was such a person.

Not dead, that slave girl is really not dead, and she is going to become his concubine...

Wen Zehai felt dizzy and luckily he held onto the stone lion at the door to avoid falling.

Wen Zehai forced himself to calm down and think slowly.

Yes, if Yin Yue died, Qu would definitely know the news and would have cried like a tearful person, so she could only be alive.

But he didn't think of it at all.

Damn it! Why didn't that bitch die?

After a while, Wen Zehai stepped forward, grabbed the doorman's collar with anger, and asked with the last glimmer of hope: "What's going on? Who's getting married today?"

The doorman was startled, and then replied: "You, today you took a concubine, and the one you took was Yin Yue, have you forgotten?"

"I forgot about it! Where's Qu?!"

"Madam is busy in the main hall."

Wen Zehai pushed aside the doorman and walked quickly inside.

When I arrived at the main hall, I saw Qu busy preparing the banquet.

"Tell the kitchen not to serve this dish. It conflicts with the previous dish. Don't the people in the kitchen know this?"

"Yes, ma'am..."

The anger in Wen Zehai's stomach was like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger as he saw the red all over the mansion.

"Qu...Jinniang!"

He was so angry that he almost shouted out Qu's full name.

"Master, you are back."

Qu came forward, her eyes filled with sadness.

"The old lady is still injured, so I can't let her take care of all this, so I have to come here myself. The arrangement and the banquet are a little simple, but you won't blame me, right?"

As she said this, Qu secretly pinched her thigh.

The pain made her eyes turn red quickly, as if she was about to cry at any time.
