After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

Murong Xiao looked at Mo Nan with some surprise, "Now... harvesting grain?"

Mo Nan replied seriously, "Yes, I just received the message and haven't had time to check it out yet."

Murong Xiao tapped his index finger lightly on the table, lost in thought.

After a moment's thought, he said, "First, have people closely monitor who is collecting the grain and what they are using it for?"

"Yes."

After Mo Nan left, Mo Xi asked Murong Xiao,

"Master, will you be attending the birthday banquet of the matriarch of Minister Li's family tomorrow?"

Without hesitation, Murong Xiao said, "No, you have someone keep an eye on Qin Wanyou and make sure she doesn't fall into someone else's trap."

Moxi should be.

The next day,

The Right Prime Minister's family, dressed in their finest attire, set off for the Minister's residence to attend a birthday banquet.

Today, the Minister's residence is bustling with visitors. Who doesn't envy the Minister's residence these days?

The old lady had two daughters; the elder daughter married into the palace and was given the title of Virtuous Noble Consort.

The second daughter was also the wife of the Right Chancellor, and she was in charge of the household affairs of the Right Chancellor's residence;

The eldest son is now the Minister of Personnel, married to the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changping, and has both a son and a daughter.

The eldest granddaughter is now the Crown Prince's prospective concubine; the eldest grandson is also about to enter officialdom.

The Minister's Mansion truly has a bright future ahead of it!

Most of the people who came to offer their birthday wishes were secretly envious, but on the surface they remained all smiles and offered their congratulations.

People came and went in an endless stream in front of and behind the gate of the Minister's Mansion, and the steward's face was practically frozen from smiling as he greeted them at the door.

Upon seeing the carriage of the Right Prime Minister's residence, he immediately ran inside to inform the master to come out and greet them.

Before long, Minister Li and his family came out to greet him. Although he was his brother-in-law, he was the Right Chancellor, and his official rank was higher than his own.

A group of people greeted each other at the door.

After exchanging pleasantries, Minister Li led Prime Minister Qin and Qin Mingyu to the area where the men were chatting.

The Minister's wife, along with Li Shi, Qin Mingzhu, Qin Wanyou, and other female relatives, came to the backyard to see the old lady.

Qin Mingzhu's house arrest just ended yesterday, and she's attending a birthday banquet today.

After paying my respects to the old lady.

The old lady beckoned Qin Mingzhu forward, took Qin Mingzhu's hand with one hand and Li Jingyu's hand with the other, and gave her a loving and smiling advice, "You two sisters must help each other, love each other, and manage the Crown Prince's harem together after you enter the Crown Prince's residence."

Qin Wanyou didn't have much of an impression of this nominal maternal grandmother.

Perhaps because of Li's attitude towards her, she was also lukewarm towards Qin Wanyou, responding with a simple "hmm" when greeted, without saying much more, just like she treated Qin Manzhu and the others.

After Qin Wanyou bowed and stood up, she stood quietly to the side, like a transparent person.

Hearing the instructions given to Qin Mingzhu and the others, he scoffed inwardly. It was as if the First Prince wouldn't marry the First Princess in the future.

The old lady chatted with them for a while, as if she had only just noticed Qin Wanyou. "Oh dear, our Wanyou is here too. After you enter the Regent's Palace, remember to help your sisters. Don't stand here anymore. Jingyu and Jingchan, you two take your sisters out to play. Don't stay cooped up here with this old woman."

Li Jingyu and Li Jingchan replied in unison, "Yes, Grandmother."

The two led Qin Wanyou, Qin Manzhu, and Qin Shuyu to a small garden in the backyard, where they saw many people admiring the flowers and feeding the fish.

Li Jingyu said she was going to change her clothes and then hurriedly left.

Qin Mingzhu also saw her sisters whom she hadn't seen for a while and went up to greet them.

Li Jingchan looked at Qin Wanyou and said with a smile, "Let's go over there too!"

Qin Wanyou nodded.

Once inside the crowd, Qin Wanyou glanced around and didn't recognize a single person.

Xie Xuanyun's wedding date is now set, and she is busy embroidering her wedding dress, so she will not attend such occasions.

Liu Xichun has also recently gotten engaged, so she won't be coming.

Those present were either daughters of officials who were on good terms with the Minister's family, or people who came to curry favor with him.

In her previous life, because she had transferred spiritual power to Qin Mingyu and given him half a bowl of blood, she was recovering and therefore did not come to celebrate his birthday. She was unaware of what had happened at the birthday banquet.

When people saw Qin Wanyou arrive, they came up to greet her. After all, she was the future Crown Prince's wife, so it was not wrong to be on good terms with her beforehand.

Qin Wanyou didn't recognize any of them, so she just nodded without saying a word.

Some people, seeing Qin Wanyou's coldness, scoffed inwardly, "What are you pretending for? Your marriage was stolen by your older sister and cousin anyway."

But I also feel a bit envious. Why is she so lucky? Her marriage was stolen, yet she was still betrothed to the regent's son.

Li Jingchan was called away by Chen Ying as soon as she arrived, and Qin Manzhu also found her good friend. Only Qin Shuyu was still following behind Qin Wanyou.

After greeting everyone along the way, Qin Wanyou finally found a quiet spot with few people and sat down.

Seeing that Qin Shuyu wasn't following behind Qin Mingzhu, could it be because she was abandoned by her sisters because of that incident?

However, Qin Wanyou ignored her.

Shuangling brought some fish food over and asked Qin Wanyou if she wanted to feed the fish. She took the opportunity to whisper to Qin Wanyou that Li Jingyu was pregnant.

Qin Wanyou took the fish food, which was actually just some bread crumbs, and scattered it below the railing, watching a group of goldfish gather around and open their mouths to eat it.

No wonder the date for the visit was set so quickly. I wonder if Qin Mingzhu will turn against her sister after she finds out.

Seeing that Qin Wanyou ignored her, Qin Shuyu had no choice but to speak up herself, "It's been a while since we last met. I haven't yet congratulated Second Sister on becoming the Crown Prince's consort."

Qin Wanyou didn't even look up. "Congratulations to my sister on finding her ideal husband."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuyu felt a lump in her throat but quickly suppressed it. "Second sister must be secretly laughing to herself. So what if eldest sister stole the marriage? She still can't become the Crown Prince's consort. Even if second sister doesn't become the Crown Prince's consort, she still has the Crown Prince's consort."

"When did Sister Shuyu learn mind-reading? She can even guess what others are thinking," Qin Wanyou teased. "However, she hasn't mastered it yet. You're wrong."

Qin Shuyu stared intently at Qin Wanyou, "Second sister, you've changed."

Qin Wanyou turned to look at the goldfish vying for food in the pond and smiled sarcastically, "If things hadn't changed, the grass on my grave would probably be as tall as you by now, wouldn't it?"

Qin Shuyu was startled. Did she know everything?

Before Qin Shuyu could say anything more, someone came to inform the young ladies of each family to come to the front yard for dinner.

Just as everyone was enjoying their drinks, Chen Ying came over with a bottle of wine. "Sister Wanyou, I offended you that day. I apologize to you here."

Qin Wanyou accepted the wine. "In the future, please don't pry into other people's finances, Miss Chen. After all, my mother is still in charge of managing the household affairs in my family."

Then he handed the wine to Prime Minister Qin at the next table, saying, "This cup of wine should be drunk by Father, who is actually the pillar of the Prime Minister's mansion. You have offended the Prime Minister's mansion, and you should apologize to my father. Father, don't you agree?"

Chen Ying choked,

Marquis Changping immediately came over to apologize and smooth things over, "Prime Minister, it was all because my daughter spoke carelessly and offended the Second Miss with her nonsense that day. It was just a quarrel between children, please don't take it to heart, Prime Minister."

Prime Minister Qin also learned about what happened that day. Seeing that Marquis Changping had come to apologize, he didn't want to cause any unpleasantness. "Marquis Changping is overthinking it. I didn't take it to heart."

Qin Wanyou still handed the wine to Prime Minister Qin, saying, "Father, I also made a joke about you that day, and I was also at fault. Consider this cup of wine my apology to you."

Prime Minister Qin did not accept the wine.

Seeing that the matter of drinking a cup of wine was being dragged on so slowly, one of the officials at the table urged Prime Minister Qin, "Prime Minister, just drink it. It's just a cup of wine. Drink it and we can continue our conversation."

Others chimed in, "Yeah, Prime Minister, it's just a little squabble between kids. Let's drink and continue."

Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Qin took the wine and drank it directly.

When Chen Ying saw that Prime Minister Qin had drunk it, his pupils dilated and he felt a pang of panic.

But they didn't dare to speak up and stop it, otherwise everyone would find out.

Qin Wanyou turned to look at Chen Ying, "Miss Chen, it's all over now, let's continue with our meal."

Chen Ying could only nervously return to her seat and sit down blankly.

A short while later, a maid accidentally spilled a bowl of food on Qin Wanyou, soiling her clothes.

The maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in a flustered apology, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Qin, I didn't mean to."

The Minister's wife snapped, "What kind of work are you doing? Get down here right now!"

Then he turned to Qin Wanyou and said, "I'm sorry for neglecting you. It's all my fault for not disciplining you properly. Wanyou, go downstairs and change your clothes."

Li also urged Qin Wanyou to go and change quickly.

Qin Wanyou followed their lead, wanting to see what kind of show they had planned.
