Wu Junrou forced a smile and said slowly, "If Wan Ning insists on doing this, there is no problem."

"That's great. Thank you for your concern, aunt. I'll come back in three days and wait for your good news then." Song Wanning smiled faintly, turned around and walked out, leaving the Yin Mansion.

As soon as Song Wanning left, Wu Junrou's face turned unhappy, but she just looked at Master Yin and said, "Master, why did you agree to be the eyewitness of that girl for no reason? Master is a man who does big things, how can he care about such inner house affairs?"

"Now that my niece-in-law has invited me so warmly, if I refuse, I don't know what kind of trouble will arise in the future. If she goes to Yi Chen and says something nonsense, it will be difficult to explain." Master Yin smiled as he thought of the reasons, but he did not reveal his thoughts at all.

Wu Junrou didn't want to get angry when she saw this, but she still looked at Master Yin and said coquettishly, "Since this is the case, Master, you must remember that I am the one who makes the decisions in our mansion after all. The concubines in the courtyard are already enough of a headache."

"Of course." Master Yin said this, but he had an idea in his mind.

Some of the concubines in the Yin family are not pretty enough, and some are beautiful but really have no talent, which makes Master Yin really dislike them. If he could get one or two spoiled daughters of minor officials as concubines, he would probably enjoy endless good days in the future.

But now, Wu Junrou is blocking him from taking a concubine, and these girls are all selected by Yin Yichen. Even if he has ideas, he is really powerless.

Master Yin secretly felt sorry for her, and turned to coax Wu Junrou, "Rou'er, we have been married for so many years, and you still don't know me? Over the years, Rou'er has always had the final say on all matters in the mansion, big or small. I remember that when Rou'er didn't like Yin Yichen, I immediately asked someone to kick him out..."

When Master Yin said this, he immediately remembered that he really didn't dare to mention this now, so he quickly swallowed it back and said with a smile, "It's all in the past, it's all in the past, it's better not to mention it."

Wu Junrou was a little anxious when she heard Master Yin say this, but then her expression eased and she said calmly, "Master, you should be more careful in your words and deeds in the future. Now that Yin Yichen has become the prime minister and is valued by the emperor, we can live a better life if we follow their family."

Master Yin felt a little strange when he heard this. He looked at Wu Junrou and said, "Good Rou'er, if that's the case, why bother Song Wanning? Yichen doesn't like concubines in the first place. If you make such a big show of giving him a concubine, I'm afraid he won't like it. Song Wanning is the prime minister's wife. Such an action will probably make the prime minister even angrier."

"Master, I don't know about that." Wu Junrou showed a gentle expression, standing beside Master Yin and explaining lightly, "Now that they have a good relationship, don't they really become a separate family? We just have to make their family restless and the couple divorced, and then the Prime Minister will remember the good things about our Yin Mansion. Besides, which official doesn't have a few concubines? Now that Yi Chen has no concubines, he will be laughed at outside, and I am looking for one for him."

Wu Junrou's words made Master Yin understand.

It was just because Song Wanning was a second-married woman, but she didn't have parents-in-law to serve, and there were no concubines to bother her at home. When she first got married, she was the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, managing so many shops and properties in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wu Junrou couldn't swallow that breath, and she was jealous and wanted to find some unpleasant things to do.

However, it is not without benefits for her to do this now. If Song Wanning takes a concubine for Yin Yichen, it will be fine, and people will say that she is a generous woman. But if Wu Junrou looks for a concubine for Yin Yichen with such a big fanfare, but Song Wanning refuses, people in the capital will say that Song Wanning is a jealous woman who is unwilling to take a concubine for the prime minister, and then Song Wanning's reputation will be bad.

As Wu Junrou was the one who collected concubines for Yin Yichen, in the end her nephew and niece-in-law didn't appreciate her kindness, so she got a good reputation.

In the past, Song Wanning lived in the mansion of Marquis Zhongping. Although Song Wanning's reputation was not very good, she was always oppressed by the mansion. Wen Tingbo flaunted his concubines every day, and Song Wanning was the victim. Later, they divorced, and she also gained a lot of sympathy. Her father and brother were both generals, and her reputation in the capital also changed.

Song Wanning is now married to the Prime Minister. Most of the ladies in the capital are jealous. If Song Wanning is unwilling to take a concubine for the Prime Minister, her reputation will only get worse.

But if Song Wanning took a concubine for Yin Yichen and had conflicts with Yin Yichen, and their relationship was no longer good, then it would be easier to deal with her.

Family discord will certainly affect Yin Yichen's official reputation. By then, when the time comes, the monkeys will scatter like monkeys when the tree falls, and it is not certain that Song Wanning will still follow Yin Yichen.

Song Wanning, who had just gone out, had no idea what Wu Junrou was thinking. What she had to do now was to meet the girl chosen today.

Song Wanning had seen Miss Yuanxian in her previous life. Yuanxian married a wealthy family in the capital as a concubine, but her life was easy. She was resourceful. Her father and brothers treated her badly, but she endured it all by herself. In the end, she was treated as a sacrifice in the officialdom, but she lived a good life after marriage. Although she was a concubine, she was more respectable than many wives in the capital.

What she wants is definitely wealth and power, not looks.

In this way, it can also be used by Song Wanning.

Song Wanning had taken a fancy to Yuan Xian a day earlier and had even sent her a letter. She went there today just to fool Wu Junrou and tie Master Yin up in the Yin Mansion so that she could see the beautiful Miss Yuan Xian in three days.

Song Wanning is the prime minister's wife, so Yuan Xian dared not not come.

Song Wanning met Yuan Xian in the teahouse, and Yuan Xian came into the teahouse with two maids. Seeing Song Wanning's appearance, Yuan Xian felt very uneasy.

She usually stayed in the inner house and seldom went out, but Yuan Xian had heard of the name of Song Wanning, the daughter of the general's mansion.

I knew that Song Wanning was beautiful, and now I was surprised to see her. Although Song Wanning was a married woman, her charm had not diminished at all. On the contrary, she was calmer and more composed than before, which made people forget the world when they saw her.

Yuan Xian bowed to Song Wan Ning, "Yuan Xian greets Madam Yin."

"Sit down." Song Wanning pointed to the chair in front of her with a faint smile on her face, "I heard that Miss Yuan Xian is beautiful, and today I see that she is indeed beautiful."

Yuan Xian pulled the corner of her mouth and replied softly, "How can I compete with Madam Yin's pearl? I just don't know why Madam Yin is looking for me today."
