Yin Yichen looked at it in surprise and opened the scroll in Song Wanning's hand. He saw a painting of a dignified and elegant woman who looked pretty and charming.

Yin Yichen knew what the other scrolls were without opening them. He just looked at Song Wanning and said, "So, could it be that Wu Junrou called the Madam over?"

"You also gave me so many portraits, I want to take a concubine for you." Song Wanning looked at Yin Yichen and said angrily, "Pick one, Prime Minister. These are all gifts from my aunt."

Yin Yichen saw the mockery in Song Wanning's eyes, and just smiled and put all the portraits aside, "Why bother with Wu? She is just a woman who is only interested in the world being in turmoil."

Song Wanning looked at Yin Yichen and said helplessly with a frown, "Now that I am married, if I don't have any contact with her from now on and give her a hard time, I am afraid that the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be further tarnished."

Yin Yichen listened to Song Wanning's words and said indifferently, "The reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not good to begin with. If you want to restore your reputation, you have to flatter Wu Junrou, which is embarrassing for yourself."

Song Wanning listened to Yin Yichen's words, but she understood in her heart. She looked at Yin Yichen and said lightly, "The prime minister suffered so much injustice in the past, but now Wu Junrou has used means to discredit her like this, and turned the tables and said that the prime minister did not remember the grace of raising her. I now think that there is no such reason in the world. Now that I am married, I will definitely ask for back every bit of the injustice that the prime minister suffered before, so that she will know the price of bullying too much. Now it's just a soft knife hitting each other, it depends on who can't hold back first."

Song Wanning was a person with her own ideas. Ever since Yin Yichen told her about his life story, Song Wanning felt sorry for Yin Yichen. Although he was now a powerful official, he did not bother with a villain like Wu Junrou. Instead, that family kept provoking him again and again, which was really too much.

Yin Yichen was moved when he heard Song Wanning say this, but he just held Song Wanning's hand and comforted her softly, "Now the Yin family is still afraid of me, afraid that I will suppress her son in the court, afraid that I will be angry and make their life difficult. But Wu Junrou is an elder, and seeing that she can't control me, she can only catch the eldest lady. I am sorry for you in this matter. I swore in front of the general that I would let you marry me and live a good life. When you really married me, you found that everything was restricted, and you were asked to be hypocritical with Wu Junrou."

"Which family doesn't have bad debts? I'm not afraid." Song Wanning was now very proud and just smiled at Yin Yichen, "She's just a smiling woman who acts recklessly here relying on her elder status. Since she wants to give you a concubine, I heard that the master of the Yin Mansion only has four or five concubines now. Even if you add a few more young and beautiful ones, I'm afraid Master Yin won't mind."

Yin Yichen knew that Song Wanning had always been a resourceful person, so he just looked at her and smiled softly, "Madam, you are now very good at scheming against others. You are really not much worse than me."

Song Wanning didn't say anything else, but unfolded the portraits one by one and looked at them carefully.

Wu Junrou was very careful. In addition to the girls' paintings, the portraits also included their names, hometowns, and birth dates, and even where their fathers worked. Wu Junrou probably really wanted Yin Yichen to take a concubine to make Song Wanning unhappy, and this concubine was found by Wu Junrou. If she really married Yin Yichen in the future, she would definitely thank Wu Junrou.

It’s hard to say which side we will help at that time.

Song Wanning looked around and saw that the girls in the portraits were more beautiful than the other, most of them were young and beautiful at the age of sixteen. Song Wanning knew what Wu Junrou was up to. If she refused, she was afraid that there would be countless more portraits sent in later.

Song Wanning had an idea in mind. She put the two beautiful portraits aside and said to Yin Yichen in a low voice, "Prime Minister, do you know what official positions the fathers of these two girls hold? If their fathers' official positions are not ordinary, why would they want to be your concubines?"

Yin Yichen glanced at the portrait and said lightly, "They are all minor officials working in the Hanlin Academy. I'm afraid they have been secretly communicating with my good uncle for a long time, waiting to be promoted with the help of these two girls."

Nowadays, no matter which family you marry into, being a concubine is always not decent. These daughters of small officials are well-dressed, but they still want to marry Yin Yichen. First, it is because Yin Yichen has always been a man of extraordinary appearance, and all the girls in the capital are flocking to him. Second, it is because of the power in the capital.

Now that Yin Yichen holds power in the capital, those officials who want to please Yin Yichen will naturally find ways to do so.

Song Wanning now had an idea. She looked at Yin Yichen and said, "I have a good idea now. I heard that Master Yin is not an honest man. If it weren't for his good relationship with my aunt over the years, I'm afraid those concubines would have been taken in one by one."

Wu Junrou was a man of her own wits. She didn't have a sweet relationship with Master Yin, but she held Master Yin tightly and didn't let him take a concubine. The five concubines in the mansion were either given by other officials who couldn't refuse them, or concubines taken in for the sake of career development.

Although she had many concubines, she never gave birth to any illegitimate sons or daughters. This shows that Wu Junrou was a resourceful person.

No matter how many means he had, he could not stop Mr. Yin's lustful heart.

Song Wanning came up with an idea, and the next day she went back to Yin's house with the pile of portraits.

Wu Junrou had already prepared herself. Seeing her coming, she pretended to ask, "Good girl, I wonder what the Prime Minister said? Is there any girl among these girls that he likes?"

Song Wanning sighed and shook her head, saying, "The Prime Minister came back yesterday and just glanced at me and ignored me."

"It doesn't matter. I have repainted many portraits of girls inside. Why don't Wan Ning take them back and let the Prime Minister choose carefully." Wu Junrou smiled faintly and pulled Song Wan Ning's arm into the house.

Song Wanning just looked at Wu Junrou and smiled faintly, "Aunt, I can't control the Prime Minister now, but I am also thinking about finding a concubine for him. I thought it would be better for you to pick out these girls. I will pick a few that I think are good first, and then show them to the Prime Minister. It will be a good thing. If I can call all those girls to the mansion and see them with my own eyes, it will be even better."

Wu Junrou's eyelids twitched. She didn't know what Song Wanning was planning, but she could only perfunctorily say, "I have personally checked these girls, and they are all good."
