Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

The mother and daughter in Cuihua Courtyard were crying together, but Song Wanning, who was in her own courtyard, had no idea about this. She was still calculating how much money she could make from tea.

But before Song Wanning could figure it out, Cai Que came in from outside the courtyard, took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to Song Wanning, "Miss, the Prime Minister's Mansion has sent a note, and the boy who delivered the note said that he wants you to go there."

Song Wanning raised her head slightly and took the post to read it, but she felt a little surprised. "If I go now, I'm afraid that if someone sees me, it will be bad for my reputation. What can I say?"

Cai Que stood by and shook her head. "No, what are you going to do? Are you still going to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Song Wanning stood up from her chair and collected the account books on the table. "The Prime Minister has never sent such a note normally. I'm afraid there is something important. I will go out quietly to see if the Prime Minister has anything important to say."

Cai Que responded, and the master and servant quietly took a carriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Song Wanning entered the Prime Minister's Mansion from its inconspicuous north gate. She was wearing a veil on her head, and before she could see the scene inside the Prime Minister's Mansion clearly, she was pulled into the yard by Yin Yichen.

Song Wanning was frightened, and it took her a while to see that the person pulling her was Yin Yichen. Song Wanning was held by Yin Yichen's wrist, and she only whispered, "My father has been more strict with me than usual recently. I just don't know why the prime minister asked me to come today?"

"Let me show you something."

Yin Yichen took Song Wanning's hand and walked straight inside, leading her to an empty courtyard. The courtyard was full of purple irises, and there was a small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard, which looked very different from the houses in the capital. There was also a decades-old evergreen tree, with a swing under the tree, which was a unique view.

Song Wanning looked at the scene in front of her and felt it was like a dream.

She lifted the curtain so that she could see more clearly, and looked at Yin Yichen with some surprise, "The Prime Minister usually wears low-key and luxurious clothes, but I didn't expect that there is such a fresh and elegant place in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is really much better than other places."

"I had it specially decorated." Seeing that Song Wanning liked it, Yin Yichen smiled faintly, "I know you like it, so I specially decorated it. When you get married, we will live in this yard. The original yard was a little smaller, and the furnishings were all men's things. It can't compare to this yard which is so fresh and elegant."

Seeing that Yin Yichen took her preferences to heart, Song Wanning was also happy, and said to Yin Yichen, "It's amazing that the Prime Minister is so thoughtful."

Yin Yichen held Song Wanning's hand and walked into the yard. He turned halfway and chuckled, "Nowadays, there is more to this yard than just this."

The two walked to a house in the yard, one after the other. Yin Yichen pushed open the door and saw a study with a large window inside.

"I know you like to read books and practice calligraphy, so this house will be the most suitable for you to use in the future. Our Prime Minister's Mansion has a small courtyard, so you can live wherever you want in the future, and use the rooms for whatever you want."

Song Wanning looked around and saw that the decorations in the study were exquisite, even the green plants on top were still sprouting.

Seeing her looking at him, Yin Yichen said slowly, "Take a look now. If you feel there is anything wrong, I will ask someone to buy it right away. When you get married, you can move in directly. It will save you a lot of trouble."

"Everything has been prepared very well. I can't think of anything else that needs to be purchased right now. We can just wait and see. There is still a long time to go. If there is anything missing, we can just buy it later." Song Wanning looked around, then turned to look at Yin Yichen and asked softly, "You called me here today just for this matter?"

"There is one more thing." Yin Yichen led Song Wanning to another room and said lightly, "There is something I want you to see."

Song Wanning raised her eyebrows slightly and followed Yin Yichen to another room. She saw Yin Yichen take out a box and put it in front of her.

"open to take a look."

Although Song Wanning was confused, she still followed Yin Yichen's instructions and slowly opened the box in front of her. Who would have thought that inside was the underwear she had embroidered herself.

Song Wanning's ears turned red, and she looked at Yin Yichen and said, "How come... my things are here with you?"

Yin Yichen sighed, looking at Song Wanning who looked like she had no idea, and stood up and said, "You are so busy checking accounts and making money that you didn't even know you had lost something. If I hadn't sent someone to keep an eye on the general's mansion, you would have been tricked by someone else."

Song Wanning looked at Yin Yichen with some doubt and whispered, "Plot?"

"Madam Nan from the second house sent someone to steal your underwear and planned to send it to Wen Tingbo to let him deal with you."

Song Wanning sneered and said, "I was wondering why my good aunt has been so quiet these days. It turns out that she was thinking of this trick. Now she probably didn't expect that this thing was intercepted by you."

"That's not all." Yin Yichen half leaned against the dark wooden table behind him and said lightly, "If anyone wants to plot against me, I will definitely make her suffer."

Song Wanning became interested after hearing this. She looked at Yin Yichen and said, "Unlucky? What kind of bad luck?"

Yin Yichen's expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about a common thing. "I asked someone to replace the things inside with your good sister Song Wanshi's. I'm afraid they are having a headache now. If Wen Tingbai is a promising person, I'm afraid he won't let the second house go so easily."

Song Wanning was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Yin Yichen to use this trick of replacing the original with the new. Nan Hongqiu and Song Wanshi had to bear the consequences. Song Wanning only responded softly, "Now Wen Tingbai of the Wen Mansion is in need of a head lady. I'm afraid my good sister will become his second wife."

Song Wanning looked at Yin Yichen's eyebrows and whispered, "Why didn't I realize before that the Prime Minister is so resourceful."

"Madam, you just discovered that I have some tricks, but I'm afraid it's too late." Yin Yichen smiled, took Song Wanning's hand and let her lean on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Wanning, since I said I would protect you, I really will. Although the court is quite chaotic now, I can still find a way to get through it. Wanning, I hope you know that marrying me is the best decision you have ever made."

Song Wanning raised her hands and hugged Yin Yichen back, saying softly, "I know how the Prime Minister treats me."

The two hugged each other in the yard for a long time before Yin Yichen sent Song Wanning to the carriage.

As soon as Song Wanning returned home, she heard the maid come to report, "Miss Ning, Master Zhan sent someone to say that there is a family dinner in the hall today, and he said there is something important."
