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

The mother beside Mrs. Pei was a little confused by what Mrs. Pei said, and asked in a low voice, "What are you betting on?"

Madam Pei responded calmly, "Of course... it's a bet on whether Ning Jie'er and the Prime Minister can survive to the end."

"Can you make it to the end?" Mom is still confused.

Madam Pei turned her head halfway and glanced at her mother beside her, then slowly said, "Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you. I have given birth to such a son, which is really my injustice. If he likes to gamble, let him gamble. I can't control him anyway. At worst, the Pei family will be extinct, and I will die by then. It's better to enjoy it while I'm alive, otherwise I don't know where the money in the family will go in the future."

After saying this, Mrs. Pei left the yard, leaving my mother confused.

Now Yin Yichen and Master Pei were drinking tea in the main hall.

Master Pei asked his men to brew a cup of top-quality Junshan Maojian for Yin Yichen, and introduced it to Yin Yichen, "It's rare for the Prime Minister to come here, why not try this Junshan Maojian? I got this tea when I was traveling around, it's much better than ordinary Maojian, I haven't been willing to drink it all these years, but now that the distinguished guest is here, I have to serve him some."

After hearing this, Yin Yichen raised his teacup and took a sip of tea, then said to Master Pei indifferently, "Thank you for your hospitality. I taste it now, and it is much better than many Maojian teas sold outside."

"Only the Prime Minister, who is used to tasting good tea, can taste the difference. If he gives it to others to drink casually, wouldn't it be a waste of the tea?" Master Pei smiled and said to Yin Yichen, "Today, it was originally a matter between the Pei and Song families. I didn't expect that the Prime Minister, who is so busy, would take time out to come. It really makes our Pei family flattered."

"Your son saved Wan Ning, so he is a benefactor to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As Wan Ning's husband, I should come here to express my gratitude." Yin Yichen sat on the chair, but his words were very sincere. He said slowly, "Now for such a life-saving grace, if I say there is a reward of gold and silver, it would be too vulgar, and the Pei family is not short of gold and silver. In this case, I will leave a promise here. If there is anything that the Pei Mansion can use Yin for in the future, Yin will definitely do his best to help."

Master Pei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and was flattered. After all, the promise of the prime minister was really unexpected. Yin Yichen's power now is second only to one person and above ten thousand people. Even the princes in the court can't compare with him. To get a promise from Yin Yichen is something that many officials in the capital dare not even dream of.

But now that Yin Yichen said so, Master Pei couldn't refuse, so he just said slowly to Yin Yichen, "The Song family and the Pei family are old friends, and the two children have been good friends since they were young. We originally wanted to make the relationship closer, but who knew that we were not destined to be together. Now that Ning Jie'er has become the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has become a close friend of the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister wants to repay this favor for her, then my Pei Mansion will not refuse, and we have to thank the Prime Minister for his kindness."

Yin Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he said this, and said to Master Pei, "I am sorry for bothering you with what happened today. I wonder where your son is? Can you allow me, an outsider, to go and see how bad his injury is?"

"Of course." Master Pei stood up and led Yin Yichen out. "It is my son's blessing to be personally cared for by the Prime Minister. Please follow me, Prime Minister."

Yin Yichen responded and followed Master Pei to Pei Xuanzhi's yard.

At this time, Song Wanning had already come out of Pei Xuanzhi's yard and was standing at the door about to go out, but who would have thought that she would meet Yin Yichen and Master Pei.

When Yin Yichen saw Song Wanning, he took a few steps forward and got closer, asking in a low voice, "How is the young master of the Pei family?"

"I just checked, and he's in much better spirits." Song Wanning looked at Master Yin beside Yin Yichen and smiled faintly, "Uncle Pei, it's hard for you to bring the Prime Minister here now."

"It's okay. Let's go in and take a look together." Mr. Pei said, and he was going to take the couple into the yard to see Pei Xuanzhi.

Song Wanning said calmly, "When I first came out, Xuanzhi had already fallen asleep. Now that he has seen it, why don't we stop bothering him. Please wait until he wakes up, and Uncle Pei can help convey our sincerity."

After hearing this, Master Pei also felt that what Song Wanning said made sense. He immediately looked at the two of them and said, "Wanning is right. If that's the case, then...it's better to wait and see later."

Song Wanning and Yin Yichen then bid farewell to Master Pei and walked out.

At this time, Master Pei was still walking towards Pei Xuanzhi's yard, but he saw Pei Xuanzhi lying there peacefully. He was immediately surprised and said, "Huh? I just heard Wan Ning say that you went to bed, but you didn't?"

Pei Xuanzhi saw Master Pei's current appearance and just chuckled and said, "I'm not asleep. Father, please tell me in detail what happened."

"Just now the Prime Minister said he wanted to come and see your injury. I brought him here and met Sister Ning at the door. I wanted to ask Sister Ning to come in and see you, but Sister Ning said that you slept and the couple just left." Master Pei had a puzzled look on his face, looking at Pei Xuan, "Why did Sister Ning say that you slept for no reason? Could it be that she didn't want the Prime Minister to come and see you?"

Pei Xuanzhi just smiled and said, "Father, they are afraid that the Prime Minister will come and argue with me. First, it will be bad for my recovery. They are afraid that I will see their love and affection and become more confused and depressed. It will be difficult to recover. Second, they are afraid that I will argue with the Prime Minister and he will endure it. They are afraid that the Prime Minister will be wronged by me."

Master Pei sighed and left the bedroom without saying anything.

Now, Yin Yichen and Song Wanning have boarded the carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Who is Yin Yichen? How could he not discover Song Wanning's little trick? He immediately held Song Wanning's hand and asked, "Madam just said that Pei Langjun fell asleep. Is this true or false?"

Song Wanning smiled faintly and said, "Nothing can escape the eyes of my husband. I see that you don't really want to see him. I'm afraid that it would be bad if you two quarreled when you met. It's just right that I interrupted you now. I just want to express my feelings."

Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning and just smiled faintly, "Now that we have done what we should do, we can just stop seeing each other. There are more important things to do now."

Song Wanning stared at Yin Yichen and motioned him to continue. Yin Yichen said, "It's time to put an end to those daring bandits on Mount Langfeng."
