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

The Pei family's house is located in the west of the city. It has been almost maintained and they can move in at any time.

Pei Xuanzhi sorted out everything in the mansion and it seemed that there was no problem. Master Pei looked at his son and said in a deep voice, "Our family has been staying in the general's mansion for several days. Now the house is almost ready. We will move in tomorrow."

Pei Xuanzhi's eyes flickered for a moment, and he looked at the rubble on top of the house and said with a smile, "Father, there are quite a few weeds on top. I'm afraid it's not a good idea to live here. At least we can pull them out for a few days, and then move back in a few days, okay?"

How could Master Pei not know what Pei Xuanzhi was thinking? He just smiled and said, "Little rascal, how could I not know what you were thinking?"

Pei Xuanzhi has always been thick-skinned. Seeing Master Pei, he started to act shamelessly. "Father, I am your only child. You can't bear to see your son never get married in his life, right?"

"You, you." Master Pei pointed at his own son, then looked at Madam Pei beside him and said with a smile, "Look at our good son, he really has no shame."

Mrs. Pei stood aside and smiled, saying, "Our son has liked Wan Ning since he was a child. Master, just give in to him. Otherwise, he might not be able to stay home."

Master Pei held up three fingers and gave his son a deadline, "Three days, you can't stay any longer, otherwise your father will be too embarrassed to go out."

"I understand, father." Pei Xuanzhi jumped up and said to Master Pei, "Then I'll go back first. I'm afraid Sister Wan Ning is bored at home and is waiting for me to entertain her."

Pei Xuanzhi said this and left the house, got on his horse, and when he passed by the busy streets of the capital, he saw the jewelry stall that Song Wanning had picked up a few days ago and looked at it.

Pei Xuanzhi jumped off his horse, led the horse to the stall, picked up one of the hairpins and asked, "May I ask how much is this hairpin?"

The seller looked at Pei Xuanzhi and just smiled and explained, "Young man, this is a jade hairpin. It costs two taels of silver."

"Okay, I'll buy it." Pei Xuanzhi took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and placed it on the table. He took the hairpin handed to him by the seller and was about to get on the horse, but he saw a man in black walking towards him.

Pei Xuanzhi frowned, and saw Wei Fu coming forward and said to Pei Xuanzhi, "Young Master, my master invites you to the building for tea."

Pei Xuanzhi looked in the direction of Wei Fu and saw that the person sitting in the teahouse on the second floor was none other than Yin Yichen.

Pei Xuanzhi was not familiar with Yin Yichen. He only remembered that Song Wanning took him away to hide last time so as not to be seen by this man. Who would have thought that he would come to him now.

Pei Xuanzhi tied the horse in the stable downstairs and followed Wei Fu to the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

Pei Xuanzhi stood beside the table and looked at Yin Yichen. He only asked, "What is the matter that the Prime Minister wants to see me about?"

Pei Xuanzhi is not short and has been spoiled since he was a child. He is not afraid of powerful officials like Yin Yichen. He is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

Yin Yichen looked up at Pei Xuanzhi, pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down."

Pei Xuanzhi was not polite and immediately sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

Yin Yichen looked indifferent, looking at Pei Xuanzhi with an indistinct expression, "I heard that Pei Langjun just returned to the capital recently."

"The Prime Minister is worthy of being the Prime Minister. Even such a small matter cannot escape the Prime Minister's discerning eyes." Pei Xuanzhi chuckled and looked at Yin Yichen and said, "It's just that my family has always been engaged in business. Although we are imperial merchants, we don't have much contact with the court. I don't think the Prime Minister, who is busy with all kinds of affairs, has the time to accompany a small person like me for tea."

"My dear, you are too polite. The Pei family's business now spans the north and south. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the country's number one imperial merchant." Yin Yichen smiled faintly, "As the prime minister of a dynasty, I should naturally keep an eye on all directions and listen to all sides."

Pei Xuanzhi was unwilling to get entangled with Yin Yichen because of Song Wanning's relationship with him. He just looked at him and said, "I wonder if the Prime Minister asked me to come here today. Is there something you want to discuss with me?"

Yin Yichen raised his teacup and took a sip, then glanced at Pei Xuanzhi's face and said slowly, "I heard that the Pei Mansion has not been cleaned up recently, and the Pei family has been living in the General's Mansion."

"My family and the Song family have always been old friends. It is inconvenient to return to Beijing now, so it is understandable that I live in the general's mansion." Pei Xuanzhi smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He just said indifferently, "It's just such a small matter. I don't know why the prime minister brought it up?"

Yin Yichen knew that it would be useless to pressure Pei Xuanzhi like the Shangshu Mansion did. He just looked at Pei Xuanzhi and said directly, "I heard that General Song intends to marry his daughter to you."

Pei Xuanzhi's smile disappeared completely, and he looked indifferently, "I'm afraid this has nothing to do with the Prime Minister, right?"

"How do you know it has nothing to do with me?" Yin Yichen put down the cup and said his bargaining chip, "I can tell you directly that I have a crush on Song Wanning from the General's Mansion. If you give up this marriage, then I can ensure that your Pei family's business will be smooth in the future, and no one will dare to offend."

Pei Xuanzhi only sneered after hearing what Yin Yichen said, "Since Prime Minister Yin likes you, he didn't send a letter to propose marriage, but instead came to talk to me, the prospective son-in-law of the General's Mansion. I'm afraid that the Prime Minister doesn't have the approval of the General's Mansion, and Wan Ning doesn't have any interest in you, right?"

Pei Xuanzhi was telling the truth, but Yin Yichen was extremely thick-skinned. "Yes now, but not necessarily in the future."

"I advise the Prime Minister to find another good match. There are tens of thousands of women in the capital now. Wan Ning and I have been childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship. The general thinks highly of me. I'm afraid the Prime Minister can't just intervene and break us up." Pei Xuanzhi said coldly with a smile on his face, "The Prime Minister should know that a forced marriage is not a happy one. When it comes to marriage, no matter how powerful a man and a woman are, they can never be better than the one their heart desires."

Yin Yichen sat opposite Pei Xuanzhi and looked directly at him, "You'll know if it's sweet after you take a bite."

Pei Xuanzhi put the teacup on the table and stood up. He looked at Yin Yichen and said, "Then Prime Minister, just come over. I'll be waiting for you anytime."

After Pei Xuanzhi finished speaking, he turned around and quickly went downstairs.

Yin Yichen was in a bad mood. He put down the teacup in his hand and stopped drinking. He just said to himself, "If she was interested, why would I go to such great lengths?"

Seeing Yin Yichen's expression, the guard next to him smiled and said, "Master, you want to marry Miss Ning. If that's the case, why don't you send an invitation to the General's Mansion? What's the point of looking for this young man?"

After hearing this, Yin Yichen turned his head, glanced at Wei Fu, and told him to shut up.
