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

Yin Yichen had just finished court and was about to walk out of the palace when Prince An came up to him and said, "Prime Minister, I've heard that the Prime Minister didn't want to marry the princess and wanted to marry a second wife. I originally thought there was some reason, but now it seems that the Prime Minister is really in love with the general's daughter. But I heard that when the Prime Minister's wife was robbed in the suburbs of Beijing this time, it was not someone else who saved her life, but her childhood sweetheart."

Seeing Yin Yichen's teasing expression, An Wang Xie Ke said, "Prime Minister, how do you feel now when you see your wife flirting with her childhood sweetheart? I'm afraid you still have to pretend to be magnanimous and come to thank him. I also heard that if it wasn't for the Prime Minister's request for the marriage, they would have been married now. I didn't expect that the Prime Minister himself was unwilling to accept the imperial decree of marriage, but now he is using it to separate the couple. Now it's retribution."

Yin Yichen glanced at Xie Ke, who was now saying nothing good, and sneered, "Prince An now has the leisure to take care of other people's family affairs. He doesn't care about government affairs every day, but focuses on the fact that a certain lady and a certain husband have known each other since childhood. Don't worry, Your Highness. This Prime Minister is naturally not as narrow-minded as you. I won't get anxious and angry because of a little past. This Prime Minister advises Prince An to focus more on how to handle government affairs, so that you don't still have such a woman's view. You are hesitant even about suppressing bandits. You really don't have the demeanor of a prince."

"You..." Prince An Xie Ke had always known that Yin Yichen was good at talking, but he didn't expect that Yin Yichen could turn the tide in such a situation that should have been a setback. How could Xie Ke not be angry, but he couldn't do anything about Yin Yichen. He could only swallow this grievance.

Xie Ke looked at Yin Yichen walking away and clenched his hands. Yin Yichen had made him lose face again and again, which was really audacious.

Even though Yin Yichen has power now, he is still just a minister, while Xie Ke is the prince and will inherit the throne in the future. Are you still afraid that you can't do anything to him?

As soon as Yin Yichen returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he told Song Wanning about the current bandit suppression campaign.

Song Wanning was quite surprised when she heard this. "Father recommended my elder brother to fight against bandits? Although my elder brother is a general now, he has never been prominent in the court. If he succeeds in fighting against bandits this time, I am afraid that the general's mansion will attract more attention in the future."

Yin Yichen knew Song Wanning's worries, but he still comforted her, "We can't let you stay in the capital as a general guarding the city for the rest of your life. If you come back from this bandit suppression, your military merit and position will be promoted. And you have a calm personality, I'm afraid you won't fall for that scar easily, so don't worry."

"A tall tree attracts the wind. The whole capital is in a state of uncertainty right now. I can't help but worry." Song Wanning sighed and said slowly, "But you are right. Now that there are two generals in our family, my brother can't live under his father's wings forever. But there are a lot of miasma and poisonous insects on Mount Langfeng. I'm afraid my brother will get hurt."

"We already have a way to break the miasma. As for the poisonous insects, we can ask big brother to bring more herbal bags. The bandits on Mount Langfeng are too arrogant. We have to get rid of them." Yin Yichen reached out and patted Song Wanning on the shoulder, saying softly, "Don't worry. Big brother is still young and it's rare for him to be a fifth-rank official."

After hearing what Yin Yichen said, Song Wanning felt relieved. This was the only way to go. This matter was already a foregone conclusion. No matter what Song Wanning said, it would be useless.

Song Wanning looked at Yin Yichen's face and said slowly, "You don't look very well now. You haven't had a good rest for so many days. Go to the bedroom and have a good sleep."

As the couple was talking, the mother outside came in and said to Song Wanning, "Madam, your sister-in-law from your family is here. She said she wants to see you."

Song Wanning curled her eyes and smiled faintly, "That's perfect. I'll go see my sister-in-law and you go to sleep. I'm afraid there's no urgent work in the study right now, so it doesn't matter if we deal with it now."

Seeing that Song Wanning insisted, Yin Yichen followed her wishes and went into the bedroom.

But now, Lu Zijun outside was really anxious and angry. When he saw Song Wanning's people, he ran towards Song Wanning and said, "Wanning, I heard that you met bandits in the suburbs of Beijing a few days ago. Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Song Wanning shook her head gently and said, "It's not me who is in trouble now, but the young master of the Pei family."

After hearing this, Lu Zijun only sighed and said, "Pei Xuanzhi is really infatuated with you. Now that you have married for the second time, he still misses you."

After hearing what Lu Zijun said, Song Wanning hurriedly made a shushing gesture and whispered, "Don't say such unfounded words. It's not good for his and my reputation."

"That's what people outside are saying." Seeing this, Lu Zijun quickly covered her mouth and said in a low voice, "I heard that it's spread everywhere. They all said that the young master of the Pei family didn't arrange marriage for you and couldn't restrain his deep love. What else can you say? If it weren't for the prime minister stealing your love, you two childhood sweethearts would have finally gotten married."

"It's fine if others believe it, but why are you fooling around with them?" Song Wanning sighed, looked at Lu Zijun and said calmly, "Don't say such things. I have worked so hard to restore my reputation, don't let it be ruined by rumors like this."

"Then tell me, was it true that you and him had no feelings for each other in the first place? Did he really like you? Otherwise, how could he risk his life to protect you?" Lu Zijun said with a wink.

Song Wanning glared at Lu Zijun and said slowly, "These are all fabricated stories. Did you come to me today just to tell me these things?"

"Of course not." Lu Zijun almost jumped up from her chair when she said this, and said to Song Wanning, "Your elder brother will go to the mountains to suppress bandits soon. I am really worried, so I came to talk to you, which will make me feel relieved. But Langfeng Mountain is so dangerous, I am worried but I can't persuade him, and now the imperial decree has been issued."

Song Wanning knew that Lu Zijun was worried about Song Lan, but she couldn't say anything now. She could only look at Lu Zijun and comfort him, "Brother grew up in the border, experienced many wars, and is familiar with the art of war. Sister-in-law, you can relax and wait for brother to win military merits and come back."
