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

When Yin Yichen said this, Wen Xu and Wu Junrou were dumbfounded.

After all, being able to come to the Zhongping Marquis's mansion as a successor meant that his family was very poor. Wen Xu had finally raised his status, so how could he be willing to return to his originally poor family?

Wu Junrou, who was standing by, stepped forward and said, "Yi Chen, if we return this child to his biological parents, it would be against the rules. After all, this child is the son of Second Master Bai of the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion, and he has been recognized as his biological son. Now, Second Master Bai treats him like his own son. If Second Master Bai finds out, how should we explain it?"

"Auntie called someone else's son here and complained about it. Yichen really doesn't understand." Yin Yichen snorted twice, looked at Wen Xu and said slowly, "Children of this age are already sensible. She doesn't recognize her biological parents, but wants to recognize a foster mother who she has only lived with for a year. What she is thinking is worth studying."

Yin Yichen sneered, looked up at Wu Junrou and said, "Aunt, there's no need to waste your efforts. A few days ago, you wanted to send a concubine to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now you want to send a son to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It really makes Yichen overwhelmed. If aunt continues to make trouble for the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't blame your nephew for making trouble for you."

Yin Yichen said, then looked at Wen Xu and continued, "Send this kid back to where he came from. If anyone brings him here again to claim him as a relative, don't blame me, Yin Yichen, for being hard on him."

Wu Junrou stood in the yard, not daring to say anything. Now Yin Yichen's words made it clear that if he continued to use this child as an excuse, the men of the Yin family would suffer in the officialdom.

The two daughters-in-law behind Wu Junrou didn't even dare to breathe, and they looked at Yin Yichen and wished they could hide in the house.

"Wan Ning, let's go home." Yin Yichen reached out and held Song Wan Ning's hand, taking her out of the door, leaving the people in the Yin Mansion in a mess.

Wu Junrou took a breath and immediately spoke to her mother, "Spread the word. Say that the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion don't care about the life or death of their stepson and only want to climb up the social ladder. The more miserable the child is, the better. It would be best if everyone in the capital knows about it."

Wu Junrou's mother said in surprise, "Didn't the Prime Minister just say that we are not allowed to make a fuss about this child? Madam, are you going to continue to publicize it?"

"What does it have to do with us if the servants are not careful with their mouths?" Wu Junrou just said indifferently, "Now, it has nothing to do with us. I just need to not show off with this child."

"Madam, you are wise." The mother beside her echoed a few words and then went out to do her work.

Wu Junrou, who was in the mansion, glanced at Wen Xu again and said slowly, "Now that the drama is over, send the child back to the Zhongping Marquis's mansion and hand him over to Second Master Bai."

All his men responded and went out to do their work.

But now that Song Wanning had returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she sighed and said to Yin Yichen, "If the Prime Minister wasn't here, I don't know how this would end. This child is a cunning one, and when she cries, it's hard to handle. Fortunately, you came, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get away so easily."

Yin Yichen also nodded and said to Song Wanning, "This child, I told him to find his biological parents, but he didn't say a word. But he came to recognize you as his adoptive mother and cried. I'm afraid he is attracted by your identity. I wonder who taught him."

Song Wanning sighed at the side, "I don't know who taught him."

The professor who taught Song Wanning every day in her previous life ended up raising such a heartless child. Song Wanning couldn't help but suspect that this child was probably born cunning.

Yin Yichen put his arm around Song Wanning's shoulders, patted her on the back, and said, "Don't think about it, we will have our own children in the future."

Yin Yichen said, and then talked about another matter, "There will be a palace banquet in the next few days. I'm afraid that Madam will have to go to the palace with me. At that time, she will meet the powerful families in the capital and the princes who started the turmoil."

Song Wanning didn't expect Yin Yichen to tell her about this matter, so she just smiled and said, "My husband said so, I have to prepare myself well and go to see which princes are the center of power in the court now."

"Father-in-law and elder brother will also go." Yin Yichen's eyes darkened, and he said softly, "Now, I'm afraid that many princes will extend an olive branch to the General's Mansion. After all, now, the power of the General's Mansion is more coveted than the Prime Minister's Mansion. The General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are even more closely related. If we can win over the General's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be far behind. Today's matter is probably not simple."

"Not simple?" Song Wanning hadn't thought about this, and only asked Yin Yichen in a low voice, "How is it not simple?"

"The Marquis Zhongping Mansion is now under the command of the Crown Prince, and I'm afraid they can't wait to help him solve his problems. Wen Xu, I'm afraid it's just a bridge that the Marquis Zhongping Mansion wants to use to build a relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion." Yin Yichen held Song Wanning's hand and spoke slowly, "Now the struggles among the princes in the capital will become more and more intense in the future, we should be careful."

Song Wanning stood beside Yin Yichen and nodded slightly.

Today, Your Majesty has five sons in their prime years, Prince An Xie Ke, Crown Prince Xie Cheng, Prince Yong Xie Bi, Prince Yi Xie Ze, and the youngest, Prince Cheng Xie Su.

At present, the most powerful person is An Wang Xie Ke, because Xie Ke is very talented and his mother, Consort Xian, is a favorite concubine in the harem. He also has the support and praise of the empress dowager, so he is naturally in the limelight.

However, because Crown Prince Xie Cheng is still the Eastern Palace, although he lacks some talent, he has many staff members and supporters. His mother is the Empress of the Central Palace, so he can barely compete with Prince An.

Although the other princes were not as powerful as Prince An and the Crown Prince, they were also lurking in the dark, looking for opportunities.

The power struggle among the princes in the court is now undercurrent, and it can be said that one move can affect the whole body. The powerful officials in the court are all clinging to the princes in order to seek their protection. There are not many powerful officials who have not yet surrendered to the princes. Winning over the mighty general's mansion has become the top priority for these princes now.

Song Wanning understood this truth and was also aware of the horror of the current struggle for imperial power.

But even so, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion had no choice but to enter this situation.

In her previous life, Song Wanning lived in the mansion of Marquis Zhongping, where she only cared about taking care of her husband and children, and didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court. She only remembered that when she died, the current situation had not changed.
