After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Wen Jiuzhao smiled at her: "I told you she is different from what you imagined."

"Sister, why are you teasing me in front of my aunt?" Wen Zhimiao grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Su Yubing really didn't dare to accept Wen Zhimiao's call of "aunt".

The current crown prince called her aunt, and Su Yubing was really afraid that she would shorten her life.

"Your Highness, I don't deserve it." Su Yubing stood up, genuinely terrified.

Wen Zhimiao couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, Doctor Su, don't be so nervous. I was wrong. I shouldn't have teased Doctor Su like this on purpose."

"But I still have to thank Doctor Su for this matter. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would have to spend more time to get evidence of Wen's treason." Wen Zhimiao picked up the teacup beside him and said, "I would like to offer a cup to Doctor Su, but I can only use tea instead of wine."

"My period is coming soon, and my elder sister and I don't allow me to drink." Wen Zhimiao said with a smile.

Su Yubing also poured himself a cup of tea: "The tea is good, but I am also not very good at drinking."

The two clinked glasses, and after finishing the cup of tea, Wen Zhimiao formally invited her to sit down.

"But I still don't understand why Doctor Su chose us instead of the Su family." Wen Zhimiao supported his chin with a curious look on his face.

Su Yubing smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, the Su family will never succeed. What the Su family is planning now is just like what the Wen family and the Duan family did back then, except that the Su family members think they are more legitimate and more likely to succeed."

"I am an ordinary person, and if ordinary people want to survive and get promoted, they must know the current situation."

"I am not only an ordinary person, but also a vulgar woman. I also hope to have powerful power one day, but the Su family cannot give it to me. Only Your Highness and Your Majesty can give it to me." Su Yubing said sincerely.

Wen Zhimiao smiled at her. This reason obviously convinced her.

She poured Su Yubing another cup of tea: "Then let's have a happy cooperation."

"The first thing I want is the evidence that the Su family has hoarded a large amount of hidden land. Could Doctor Su give it to me?" Wen Zhimiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly at her.

"Okay, I will definitely give it to Your Highness before the wedding ceremony of the Emperor and Empress next year."

"Okay, then what does Doctor Su want?" Wen Zhimiao asked curiously.

"I just want the position of Minister of Rites." Su Yubing did not hide his ambition.

Wen Zhimiao was a little puzzled: "The Minister of Rites is not a particularly powerful person among the six ministries. Why would he covet such a position?"

"Suitable for retirement."

After hearing this, the others couldn't help laughing.

Shi Wanyue also toasted her and said, "Doctor Su is really humorous."

"Truthfully."

Wen Jiuzhao also clinked glasses with her: "I believe it."

Wen Zhimiao did not agree to her immediately, "After all, this is the position of Shangshu, and it still depends on ability. Moreover, Doctor Su is not old enough and has insufficient experience. If he wants this position now, I am afraid I cannot agree to it. After all, this position is not something I can decide."

Su Yubing shook his head: "Your Highness has misunderstood. I am not asking for it now, but I hope Your Highness will keep this position for me. Of course, if Your Highness feels that I am still not capable of this position by then, then I will not force it. It is fine for me to retire in the Ministry of Rites with peace of mind."

Wen Zhimiao was a little amused and helpless for a moment. She had painted a lot of rosy pictures for others, but it was rare for her to paint a rosy picture for herself like Su Yubing.

"Are you sure? This deal is not worth it. What will you do if I sentence you to death after the deal is done? You will then be left with nothing." Wen Zhimiao asked with a smile.

Su Yubing nodded seriously: "Of course I am serious, but this is a matter for the future. I naturally need some benefits now so that I can continue to work for Your Highness, right? For example, how about rewarding me with a house so that I can move out of the Su residence?"

Wen Zhimiao paused, then nodded: "That's no problem."

"But Doctor Su, you'd better tell me what you really want, otherwise it will be hard for me to believe you. Besides, you are under the protection of the Su family, so you just want to leave the Su family? I can't understand."

"Your Highness, would you like a place that swallowed up your mother and sisters?" Su Yubing asked softly.

"Your Highness will never understand how painful the lives of the women living in those mansions are." Su Yubing said lightly.

Wen Zhimiao was silent for a moment, and then did not continue to ask Su Yubing why he left.

"I understand."

She should understand, but days of comfort do erode people's hearts.

Wen Zhimiao smiled at her and said, "I will give you the house, but not in my name. Go find the house you want and ask me to pay for it for you. I will give you the money later."

"As for the reason, just think about it yourself. It's fine as long as you can make it work." Wen Zhimiao didn't want to use his brain.

"Then let's say that the princess and I are in love, and the princess buys it for me to facilitate our private meeting, how about that?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, and even a calm person like Shi Wanyue almost choked.

He Yuanyao was about to drink tea, but when she heard this, she was so shocked that her hands started shaking and the tea in her hand spilled.

Wen Jiuzhao glanced at her calmly, then slowly looked away.

"This...isn't appropriate?" Shi Wanyue said softly.

Wen Zhimiao also nodded: "Not appropriate, not appropriate."

He Yuanyao opened her mouth to say something, but found that she had no right to say anything.

She looked at Wen Jiuzhao unconsciously, only to find that he was very calm, without any surprise or displeasure on his face.

"I think it's a good idea. After all, I will have frequent contact with Yu Bing in the future, so this will be more legitimate." Wen Jiuzhao said lightly, without any emotion in his tone, as gentle and calm as ever.

Wen Zhimiao glanced at He Yuanyao calmly.

She silently complained in her heart that Shili Zui was really slow in serving the dishes. If it had been earlier, she wouldn't have chatted so much with Su Yubing, and this wouldn't have happened.

Wen Zhimiao was deceiving herself by thinking that she really had a headache at the moment.

She probably understood that Wen Jiuzhao did it on purpose, wanting He Yuanyao to give up the slightest thought of her.

But this kind of thing is not something you can just give up on. Even if you can give up, it will take time.

It cannot be said that Wen Jiuzhao's behavior was wrong. She really did not like He Yuanyao, and she did not want her to pour too much emotion into her to the point where she could not tell whether she really liked her or it was just an obsession caused by unrequited love.

But from He Yuanyao's perspective, she was indeed quite hurt.

Shi Wanyue probably sensed something was wrong and glanced at He Yuanyao calmly.

I also sighed in my heart.

"Since Jiu Zhao has no objection, let's do it this way?" Su Yubing said again.

"Okay." Wen Jiuzhao nodded slightly.

He Yuanyao almost couldn't sit still, but thinking that she was here to celebrate for Wen Zhimiao today, she endured the sadness in her heart and continued to sit.

But he didn’t dare to look in Wen Jiuzhao’s direction anymore.
