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

Yin Yichen put his arm around Song Wanning's shoulders and helped her into the carriage.

Seeing that Yin Yichen's face was still not looking good, Song Wanning just sat on the brocade cushion beside the carriage, looked at Yin Yichen behind her, and said softly, "I came here a little rashly today. I will definitely be more cautious next time. How about that?"

Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning's expression and said softly, "I told you a few days ago that this matter cannot be rushed now, and asked you to wait for me at home. You actually turned a deaf ear to my words. Are you so reluctant to let go of Pei Xuanzhi? If you come now and Gu Jie holds a grudge against you, or if something goes wrong, how can I live?"

Song Wanning sat closer to Yin Yichen and explained quickly, "If I hadn't heard that Pei Xuanzhi was sentenced to death today, I wouldn't have rushed here. He saved my life and we are old friends. I couldn't just stand by and watch, so I came to his rescue. Don't be angry, nothing happened to me. Just believe me this time, I will never act rashly again."

"I told you long ago that I won't let you repay my life-saving grace alone. You just don't believe me, what can I do to you?" Yin Yichen said helplessly to Song Wanning, "Since you are acting on your own, I really can't do anything about it."

Song Wanning knew that Yin Yichen was angry this time, and no matter how hard she tried to persuade him, Yin Yichen just wouldn't calm down.

Seeing Yin Yichen's look, Song Wanning said angrily, "You are here blaming me now. What do you want me to do by myself? I didn't intend to go, but I saw that the situation was critical. I explained it to you but you didn't listen. What can I do? If you are angry, just leave me and the child to live in this huge mansion."

Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning's appearance. Although he was angry, he still said to her helplessly, "I know you are anxious, but you can't ignore yourself. I will take care of the rest of this matter. You stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Seeing Yin Yichen's firm attitude, Song Wanning said helplessly, "Well, I'll tell you everything I heard so that you can have an idea in your mind."

Song Wanning spoke, telling all the news she had heard. She looked at Yin Yichen helplessly and said, "That's all I know. I thought we could start with that scoundrel's wife and daughter and ask them if there are any clues."

"I understand. You stay at home. I will personally handle this matter for Pei Xuanzhi and will not let him die." Yin Yichen said as he led Song Wanning off the carriage, sent Song Wanning into the mansion, and quickly turned around and walked out.

This matter soon spread from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Yin Mansion. After hearing the words of the servant who reported the news, Mother Shen immediately stepped forward and told Wu Junrou the latest news.

Mother Shen stood beside Wu Junrou and said to her, "Madam, there's a letter from the other end, saying that the prime minister's wife was running around for Pei's family affairs early this morning. The prime minister was very angry when he found out about it, and he sent her back to the prime minister's residence and left. When she left, her face looked very unhappy."

Wu Junrou laughed when she heard this, "It's no wonder that Yi Chen is angry that the wife of the prime minister is still thinking about her childhood sweetheart and showing off when she's pregnant. If this gets out, won't it make outsiders laugh at her?"

Mother Shen responded and quickly agreed, "Madam, while the relationship between the couple is not harmonious, why not take the opportunity to send a few mothers to their mansion. Previously, the Prime Minister's wife used her mouth to send many of our people away in the mansion. Now there are only three or five people from the outer courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is not convenient to do things. Seeing that the Prime Minister's wife is about to give birth, we must also make preparations early."

"You're right. Go find a few capable people in our yard and find a way to send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Wu Junrou said with a sneer, "That girl is quite smart. She must have discovered the problem with the box of rouge a long time ago. She didn't use it at all, but she tried to make it look like she was using it to confuse me. I saw that the fetus in her belly was firmly seated, and her life became more stable day by day. When I saw her belly getting bigger, I realized that it was a smokescreen she had set up."

"This little rascal should not be underestimated. He actually has such ability and fought back and forth with the lady."

Seeing this, Wu Junrou laughed out loud and said slowly, "This is not surprising. She was married to the Zhongping Marquis's mansion and worked as a steward. She was very organized. Now she is remarried to Chen Ge'er. She has learned things once, so she can do it with ease. But it's hard to say whether she can keep the baby in her belly. The current situation is chaotic and she is running around. If something unexpected happens, she can only blame herself."

Mother Shen said, "Madam, you are wise. What are you going to do now?"

"First, arrange for a few people to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to prepare for the worst. Also, keep an eye on the situation in the court at all times. If my brother is found guilty, we must also find a way to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion's property from being confiscated." Wu Junrou said slowly, "These properties will belong to our Yin Mansion in the future, and must not fall into the hands of others."

"I know, madam." Mother Shen responded, and then looked at Wu Junrou helplessly, "Madam, you don't know, but now the fairy Yuan in this mansion is getting pregnant. We are facing internal and external troubles. What should we do?"

Wu Junrou looked unhappy. "Let's deal with the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion first. The Prime Minister's Mansion is now shaky, and the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion is pregnant again. We must seize the opportunity, otherwise the fat sheep in our mouth will run away. Even if the one in our yard has a bastard son, he is still young. When we get the property in the future, we can think of a way to deal with him."

"I understand, madam. I will go down and do my job right away. I will definitely not let that woman give birth to a legitimate son. If a legitimate son is born, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for us to do anything in the capital in the future, let alone inheriting the Prime Minister's estate." Mother Shen said, then turned around and went out to do her work, leaving Wu Junrou alone in the room talking to herself.

Wu Junrou looked at her face in the mirror, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said slowly, "I'm afraid it's just a daydream to want to have a child to continue this house and take over all the assets of the Yin family."
