After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Over the years, he has tried everything to help his child with his illness, but the results have been disappointing.

If it weren't for the intervention of this regent's wife, who knows what the outcome would have been.

In a sense, the Regent's wife was their family's benefactor.

"Your Highness, if there is anything I can do to help in the future, I will do my best to assist you."

Shen Xiangguo's gaze was firm, and he spoke seriously about this matter, his tone devoid of any falsehood. He was expressing his gratitude to Ye Qingwu while also reaffirming his stance at this moment.

Ye Qingwu looked in Zhan Sijing's direction. Although in the book, the original owner had also helped Shen Xiangguo's wife, which paved the way for Jiang Wenjin's future path to becoming the chief minister of high school.

Although the circumstances are different, having the assistance of Prime Minister Shen is, to some extent, a good thing.

the other side.

Jiang Wenjin stood pacing outside the Prime Minister's residence, but was stopped by the guards just as he was about to approach.

"Who are you? How dare you approach the Prime Minister's residence?"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Wenjin quickly took out his visiting card and said, "Please inform the Prime Minister that Jiang Wenjin has come to visit."

"So it was Scholar Jiang."

The guard took the visiting card from Jiang Wenjin, opened it and read it carefully, his tone carrying a hint of contempt.

"You've come at an inopportune time. The Prime Minister, along with his wife and young master, has gone to the Regent's Palace."

"The Regent's Palace?"

Jiang Wenjin was stunned. "That's not my sister's..."

The guard was taken aback by Jiang Wenjin's words and tentatively asked, "Could you be the son-in-law of Duke Ye?"

“Exactly.” Jiang Wenjin nodded.

The guard's initial disdain turned into eagerness. "No wonder the name sounded familiar; it's Young Master Jiang."

"Since you are His Highness the Regent's brother-in-law, I would intuitively think that you should go to the Regent's Palace to find the Prime Minister."

Jiang Wenjin felt a little embarrassed by the guard's praise. If it were before, he could have used this relationship to give himself more leverage in his future career.

However, after the Duke's Mansion and Ye Qingzhu's repeated troubles, the Regent's Consort had severed ties with the Duke's Mansion. Not to mention Ye Qingzhu's temperament, even he couldn't stand it.

Under such circumstances, how could the regent acknowledge a relative like himself? It was only because his writing had finally won the appreciation of Prime Minister Shen.

He also heard that Prime Minister Shen was one of the chief examiners for this imperial examination, and that if he could get his guidance, he would be even more confident in passing the examination.

Since Prime Minister Shen has gone to the Regent's Palace, it shouldn't be a problem for him not to go in. He can wait for Prime Minister Shen near the palace.

In this way, it doesn't count as having any connection.

Jiang Wen was focused on heading towards the Regent's Palace, while the Shen family stayed there for a while before leaving.

Just outside the Regent's Palace, the group boarded their carriage and prepared to leave.

Jiang Wenjin, who arrived at the scene, panicked instantly upon seeing the situation. Without thinking twice, he immediately stood in front of the carriage.

The coachman was quite startled by Jiang Wenjin's sudden appearance.

"Are you out of your mind? Daring to rush out like that!"

Jiang Wen fell to the ground, looking rather disheveled. He repeatedly apologized to the coachman, saying, "It's my fault. I didn't know Prime Minister Shen was here."

The coachman initially thought Jiang Wenjin's appearance was just an accident, but after hearing him mention Prime Minister Shen, his gaze instantly became wary.

"Who are you! How did you know the Prime Minister would be here!"

"If you don't explain these things clearly, I'll arrest you right now and take you to the authorities for a thorough interrogation!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenjin panicked instantly and hurriedly explained, "It's a misunderstanding, it's completely a misunderstanding."

"My name is Jiang Wenjin, and my father-in-law is Ye Xuan. The Duke of Ye is my father-in-law. A few days ago, I wrote an article that won the appreciation of the Prime Minister, so I came here to pay him a visit."

"I only learned that the Prime Minister was not here when I arrived at the residence, so I came here specifically to visit my brother-in-law."

Inside the carriage, Prime Minister Shen originally didn't want to pay any attention to Jiang Wenjin, as he had seen many people like him who wanted to use this to climb the social ladder.

I only heard Jiang Wenjin mention Ye Xuan.

“My lord, I have heard that the Regent’s wife was the eldest daughter of the Duke’s family before she got married. So this Jiang Wenjin can be considered the wife’s brother-in-law. The wife saved my life and Ran’er’s life. Why don’t we meet her and see what’s going on?”

Prime Minister Shen nodded, feeling grateful for Ye Qingwu's medical intervention, which was related to the Princess.

Shen Xiangguo lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Jiang Wenjin there.

“Young Master Jiang, I have other matters to attend to right now. I will make time for you tomorrow, so please come again then.”

Hearing Shen Xiangguo's words, Jiang Wenjin was overjoyed. As long as the other party did not directly refuse, there was still a chance.

Everyone said that this prime minister was highly favored by the emperor, and that with his support, one would surely be a force to be reckoned with in one's future official career.

Although his father-in-law was a Duke, he always treated him with contempt. If it weren't for Ye Qingzhu, he probably wouldn't have been able to even enter the Duke's mansion.

But he really needs more help right now, even if he gets scorned by others, so what?

When he truly becomes the Grand Secretary Ye Qingzhu spoke of, he will surely trample those who once looked down on him and disregarded him underfoot.

The fact that he was able to marry the Duke's daughter already meant that his future would definitely be different, and he would accept it even if Ye Qingzhu spoiled him.

Jiang Wenjin looked toward the Regent's Palace and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In the end, neither Ye Xuan nor Prime Minister Shen could carry the weight of a single word from His Highness the Regent.

The Regent's wife's relationship with the Duke's mansion is...

"Your Highness, a guard near the Prince's residence reported that Jiang Wenjin suddenly appeared and stopped the carriage on Prime Minister Shen's return journey, and even mentioned your relationship with the Duke's mansion."

"How should this matter be handled? Should I inform Prime Minister Shen so that he can be on guard?"

Leng Feng approached Ye Qingwu and asked her a question.

“No need. Even if you go to Prime Minister Shen, what can you tell him?” Ye Qingwu asked.

She hadn't meant to save Shen Xiangguo and his mother; even if it hadn't been them, she would have done so under those circumstances.

If the cold wind goes there, it becomes purposeful.

Jiang Wen was trying to exploit this loophole, but Ye Qingwu sneered.

"Don't worry about him."

Ye Qingwu didn't care at all. "Jiang Wenjin stopped Prime Minister Shen's carriage for nothing more than the imperial examination. If he really has that ability, let him go."

"Besides, Prime Minister Shen may not be someone who can't distinguish between public and private matters."

"My subordinate understands."

After the cold wind left, Ye Qingwu sighed softly.

There are so many things to do every day.

Jiang Wenjin had just returned to the house when he heard arguing coming from inside.

Even without going inside, one can guess what's going on inside.
