Yin Yichen only smiled faintly, his eyes were full of mystery, "My cousin now really understands me, and I am happy in my heart. Now why not..."

Before Yin Yichen could finish, someone came in and said, "Prime Minister, there is an urgent official business. Please go and take a look as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Yin Yichen frowned and said unhappily, "I know."

"Cousin, I have something to do now, so you can just rest in the South Courtyard. I will come back after an incense stick of time, but I don't know if you will be there by then?" Yin Yichen said, and glanced at Guan Surong suggestively, which made Guan Surong's blood boil. She wanted to pull Yin Yichen to the room in the South Courtyard immediately.

"Brother-in-law misses me, so Su Rong is of course here." Guan Su Rong smiled shyly and timidly, watching Yin Yichen leave.

Seeing that the person had left, Guan Surong went to the bed in the wing room and took off her outer robe immediately, wearing only the thin inner garment, which looked really sexy. She sat quietly by the bed, waiting for Yin Yichen to come back from outside. She still didn't believe that she couldn't take Yin Yichen down this time.

An incense stick of time passed, and just when Guan Surong wanted to put on her clothes and go out to check, she heard a knock on the door. Guan Surong was delighted, she remembered that Yin Yichen said that few people came to this place, so the person who came must be Yin Yichen.

Guan Surong was wearing very little and her voice was gentle. She slowly spoke to the person at the door, "The door is not locked, just open it."

Guan Surong lay on the bed, not looking up at the door, she just chuckled and said, "Brother-in-law, you've made me wait so hard. Most men in the world like fair-skinned and beautiful women. Brother-in-law, take a look at my skin, how does it compare to those outside?"

What Guan Surong didn't know was that the person who came to the door was not Yin Yichen, but a cleaning boy. When the boy saw Guan Surong, he dropped the wooden bucket in his hand and said in shock, "Miss Guan, why are you here?"

Guan Surong only realized something was wrong at this time. She immediately looked up and saw the person standing outside the door. However, the person standing outside the door was not Yin Yichen, but a clumsy-looking man carrying a wooden barrel.

"Ah... who are you and why are you here? Isn't it forbidden to clean this place?" Guan Surong was frightened and immediately went forward to close the door, but then she remembered that she was wearing few clothes, so she could only hide on the bed and look outside the door.

"I am new here and don't know the rules. Miss Guan, please don't spread this matter. If the master of the family finds out, I'm afraid I will be in big trouble."

The servant kept begging for mercy. Guan Surong was extremely upset and immediately yelled, "Get out! Get out now!"

"Yes, yes, I'll leave right away."

But before the boy left, Yin Yichen had already returned. He looked at the boy and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"Master, Master... I entered this courtyard by mistake. It's all my fault. Please punish me, Master." The cleaning servant lowered his head and apologized repeatedly. He immediately continued, "I came here and accidentally saw Miss Guan wearing no clothes inside... I really didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me, Master."

"What? There is such a thing?" Yin Yichen looked shocked and said to the boy, "Don't you know how important a woman's reputation is to her? How dare you lie here? How can Miss Guan deal with it? How can Miss Guan go out and meet people in the future?"

"I really didn't mean it, please punish me, sir." The servant said, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yin Yichen, "Sir, I really didn't mean it, please punish me, I am sorry for Miss Guan, and for your cultivation. But I am willing to marry Miss Guan to make up for today's loss."

Yin Yichen stood there and said in a rather cold voice, "I'm afraid this matter won't end well now. According to the rules, if you have seen Miss Guan's body, you should marry her, but your statuses are really not compatible."

"Brother-in-law, if I don't marry him, how can I marry him? Brother-in-law, are you joking?" Guan Surong felt desperate and didn't care about being shy. She quickly put on her clothes and walked out of the house.

Her face was already covered with tears, and she knelt down in front of Yin Yichen with a plop, "Brother-in-law, please save me, don't let me marry such a man."

"But then you'll be at a disadvantage." Yin Yichen's eyes turned cold as he said to Guan Surong, "I don't have any good ideas to help you now."

"Brother-in-law, please marry me and let me serve you in the Prime Minister's Mansion." Guan Surong was in tears now, and she looked so pitiful. She didn't expect that she would fall for the words reputation every time.

Yin Yichen looked at Guan Surong coldly with a cold gaze, "Why do you think that I, the prime minister of this dynasty, would marry someone like you who doesn't know how to behave and doesn't follow the rules? Now that you've been seen by others, how can I marry you? I absolutely cannot marry you now. It would be better for me to make the decision for you and let this housemaid marry you. In the future, I will definitely let him be the steward of the prime minister's mansion, and then you two can live a decent life."

Guan Surong felt desperate after hearing this. She now knew that Yin Yichen would never marry her. "Brother-in-law, I won't marry anyone. As long as you are willing to cover up this matter for me, I will definitely help you in the mansion in the future."

"I can promise not to tell anyone, but there are many gossipers in this mansion. If the servants spread rumors, I am afraid I can't control it." Yin Yichen glanced at Guan Surong who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly, "What are you doing kneeling on the ground now? Why don't you get up quickly? You are kneeling in front of me like this, aren't you torturing me?"

Guan Surong felt sad, and looked at Yin Yichen and said, "Brother-in-law, is there really no other way?"

"I have an idea now. You can leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and live outside. I will give you some money and let you live outside. If anyone asks you, just say that you don't want to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion anymore and don't reveal anything about what's going on in the mansion. Then I will talk to the servants in the mansion and give them some instructions. I'm afraid they won't see you and will forget about this matter in a few days. This will be the best thing for you."
