When Song Jing said this, Song Lan, who was standing beside him, was also shocked.

Now if Yin Yichen came with the imperial edict, the General's Mansion would have no room to refuse. If the General's Mansion rejected this marriage again, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Now Song Jing didn't like Yin Yichen and didn't think highly of this marriage, so Yin Yichen couldn't do anything even if he was the prime minister. But Yin Yichen first took the opportunity to exclude all the son-in-law candidates favored by the general's mansion, and even asked for an imperial decree to make Song Jing have no way to avoid it.

Yin Yichen is indeed the youngest prime minister in the court. Now it seems that he is indeed scheming, resourceful, and wise. If he hadn't been scheming against his own family, Song Lan would have wanted to applaud.

Song Jing's voice was not pleasant now, but Yin Yichen listened to Song Jing's ridicule without being humble or arrogant. He looked at Song Jing and responded softly, "General, since I admire Wan Ning, I will naturally do everything properly, and all the necessary rules will not be missed. The imperial edict is just to add an extra layer of blessing to this marriage. If the general is willing, it doesn't matter if you ignore it. I just ask the general to fulfill it."

Song Jing's face became uglier and uglier. He just looked at Yin Yichen and said coldly, "Fulfill your wish? I have told the Prime Minister many times that my daughter is already engaged, but the Prime Minister has been relentless and shameless. Now he has even asked for an imperial decree that cannot be refused. Since the Prime Minister has already prepared everything, why do you need me to fulfill your wish?"

Yin Yichen was standing now, but he showed his sincerity. He took out a booklet from his sleeve and placed it on the table closest to Song Jing. "General, you are so kind. Yichen came here with the best sincerity. This is the list of betrothal gifts for the General's Mansion. I hope you can take a look at it. It must be the largest betrothal gift in the whole capital. Since Yichen really wants to marry Wan Ning, he must be sincere enough. If the general has any request, just mention it. The Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely do its best to meet it."

Song Jing's face was gloomy, and it did not improve because of Yin Yichen's words. He just said in a deep voice, "Try your best to satisfy? Then I hope the Prime Minister will leave the gate of my General's Mansion now. The General's Mansion does not welcome you. Can the Prime Minister do it?"

Song Jing's words really didn't give Yin Yichen any face at all. After all, Yin Yichen was a child prodigy who had been pampered since childhood.

Unexpectedly, Yin Yichen was not angry. Instead, he looked at Song Jing and said, "General, I fell in love with Wan Ning at first sight, and I will marry her in this life. I used some tricks, so it is reasonable for the general to be dissatisfied with me. But the general should know that since I have come here today, I can endure whether the general beats or scolds me, but my heart is very sincere to Wan Ning, and I hope the general will fulfill my wish."

After hearing this, Song Jing stood up from his chair, looked at Yin Yichen and sneered, "You don't fight back when you're beaten, and you don't talk back when you're scolded?"

Yin Yichen stood like a pine or cypress, but his eyes were very clear, "Yes."

Song Jing paced back and forth beside Yin Yichen and said coldly, "Then you can try my strength after so many years on the battlefield."

He raised his fist and was about to hit Yin Yichen in the stomach, but Yin Yichen did not step back. Song Jing wanted to hit him in the stomach but stopped, sighing, "Prime Minister, you and Wan Ning are not suitable. There are many ladies who are better than Wan Ning. Prime Minister can choose a better one."

Yin Yichen is now particularly insistent, "Whether it is suitable or not is not decided by others, but by ourselves. In my eyes, Wan Ning is the best."

Seeing Yin Yichen's insistence, Song Jing looked at Yin Yichen and said, "Prime Minister, how can we let Wan Ning go now?"

Yin Yichen stood there, his eyes indifferent, "Since the general insists, then I might as well say that if Wan Ning stands here and says in person that she doesn't want to marry me, then I will go to the palace to ask the emperor to withdraw his order. I will never bother Wan Ning again and will never set foot in the gate of the general's mansion again."

"Really?" Song Jing felt something was not right when he heard Yin Yichen say this, but now he didn't think about it too much. He just felt that Yin Yichen was too confident.

"real."

Song Jing's frown relaxed, and he looked at the maidservant beside him and said, "Go and call the girl over."

The maid responded and went out to the backyard to look for Song Wanning.

Song Jing paced faster, pacing back and forth in the front hall, looking at Yin Yichen and saying, "Since the Prime Minister said so, you must not break your promise, or you will turn against him later."

Song Lan stood aside and looked at Song Jing's happy face, sighing in his heart. He was afraid that he didn't know that his precious daughter had been seduced by Yin Yichen a long time ago, so how could he refuse. Now Song Jing had completely fallen into Yin Yichen's trap and didn't even know it.

Yin Yichen stood in the hall and nodded, looking at Song Jing and said, "If the general is so, then Yichen also has something to say. If Miss Ning is willing to marry me, I hope the general will help us."

"Okay, okay, I just hope the Prime Minister doesn't break his promise." Song Jing said, pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, and occasionally looking up to see if Song Wanning had come outside. But his expression was completely different from before, as if he was just waiting for Song Wanning to come so that he could send the big Buddha away.

Less than an incense stick of time had passed, and Song Wanning had already entered the hall from outside. She walked up to Song Jing and greeted him, "Dad, you're looking for me?"

Song Jing raised his hand and coughed, then glanced at Yin Yichen and said slowly, "Prime Minister, my daughter is here now. If you ask me now, I hope you will remember our agreement and not break your promise."

Yin Yichen's eyes were indifferent, "I also hope that the general will not break his promise."

Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning with a smile in his eyes, and said in a light voice, "Wanning, are you willing to marry me? If you marry me, everything the Prime Minister's Mansion has now will be yours. Although the Prime Minister's Mansion has a complicated family background, I am the only one in the entire mansion now. If you marry me, it will not be like a house, but a home, and you will be the one making the decisions in the future..."

"Ahem..." Song Jing interrupted Yin Yichen with two dissatisfied coughs, and looked at Song Wanning, "Wanning, the Prime Minister said he wants to marry you. Now tell me if you are willing? If you are not willing, Dad will not let you marry no matter what."

"I..." Song Wanning looked up at Song Jing, then at Yin Yichen, and finally lowered her head. Her voice was small but calm, "I am willing, Daddy. I am willing to marry the Prime Minister."

Now it was Song Jing's turn to be unable to stand. He thought he had misheard. He strode up to Song Wanning and asked in a low voice, "What? Are you willing? Have you thought about how to say it? Do you still remember the principles that your father taught you every day?"

Song Wanning raised her head and said calmly, "Daddy, the Prime Minister treats my daughter very well. I am willing to marry him."
