"Let's go inside and talk. The tea is ready; it's my treasured Snow Top Jade Tea that I've kept for many years!"

Mr. Song continued to speak with a smile. It was probably not even as excited as Mr. Li Zhaoxian when he first visited.

Anyone who holds an official position in the court knows that Xie Qianzhong is far superior to him in every aspect.

The two are not on the same level, which is why the Emperor values ​​Xie Qianzhong so much.

Upon arriving at the Prime Minister's residence, Xie Qianzhong maintained a cold and indifferent demeanor.

The servants all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Song Tangxue was already waiting in the front hall. She thought she wouldn't be nervous, after all, the two of them already had this kind of relationship.

The longer I waited here, the more nervous I became.

Especially when Song's mother came in with a smile, Song Tangxue found her heart beating extremely fast.

She knew perfectly well why she was acting this way, but before she could react, she saw Xie Qianzhong walk in.

Song's mother was somewhat surprised when Song Tangxue suddenly lowered her head and wrapped her handkerchief around her wrist, seemingly a little embarrassed.

"Look at you, you're about to get married, and you're still shy," Song's mother said with a smile.

Xie Qianzhong's originally cold gaze softened slightly at that moment.

However, he immediately returned to normal and walked over, saying...

"I've come today to pay my respects to your parents, and there's another important matter. There are many places in the mansion that need to be renovated; why don't you go and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Song, who were standing nearby, were extremely surprised.

After all, the two are only engaged, yet Xie Qianzhong actually allowed Song Tangxue to exercise the rights of the mistress of the house ahead of time.

"Thank you, sir. My daughter is too dull to understand these things. Perhaps we should let the steward in the manor take care of them?"

Song's mother became quite conflicted, as if she didn't want Song Tangxue to get involved in these matters beforehand.

Song Tangxue was a little nervous just now, but she has calmed down now. She raised her head and looked at everyone.

Meanwhile, Xie Qianzhong said firmly.

"She is the future mistress of the Prime Minister's residence, so it is most appropriate for her to take on the role."

After listening, Song Tangxue didn't wait for anyone to answer this time, but instead took the initiative to speak.

"Yes, in that case, thank you for your trust, sir. I will do my best."

Song Tangxue volunteered for the task, and Song's father clearly saw Xie Qianzhong's cold expression change upon hearing the answer.

As a man, he knew Xie Qianzhong all too well that Xie Qianzhong definitely still had feelings for Song Tangxue.

"In that case, go and take a look. But if there's anything you don't understand, don't keep it to yourself. Your family will help you solve it."

Finally, Song's father spoke, and this time, surprisingly, he chose to be an accomplice.

Song Tangxue nodded without speaking, but bowed as if to thank him.

Song's mother hadn't noticed these details earlier, but now that things had come to this, she couldn't say anything more.

"Then you should go there quickly and come back soon."

Little did the two know that their reply was exactly what Xie Qianzhong wanted.

Song Tangxue was even more surprised that it would go so smoothly, so when she sat in the carriage, she felt as if she had been in another world.

"The two of them have changed so quickly that I'm not quite used to it."

Song Tangxue was slow to realize it, and even now, she is still somewhat dazed.

Xie Qianzhong appeared remarkably calm, simply smiling serenely before speaking.

"They're trying to curry favor with us, that's why they're doing this. What do you think is the reason?"

"Of course I know what's going on, but I didn't expect them to be so impatient. I thought that even if they wanted to curry favor with you, they wouldn't show it too obviously."

Song Tangxue spoke her mind, after all, her father had always been the most arrogant.

He was never willing to bow his head, and he cared more about his reputation.

Xie Qianzhong simply smiled, his meaning clear without a word.

It must be because of the potential benefits that Song's father was so tempted that he made such a surprising change.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. But here's some new information."

Xie Qianzhong continued speaking, and Song Tangxue, who was still puzzled, quickly asked after hearing this.

"Is it related to the Third Prince?"

She blurted it out without thinking, which suggests that she had already considered it in her mind.

Xie Qianzhong was quite surprised, not expecting that Song Tangxue had thought of this.

"It seems the grudge between you is much deeper than I imagined, otherwise you wouldn't have acted so without thinking."

Upon hearing this, Song Tangxue nodded directly, and said with a hint of helplessness.

"This person considers himself a chosen one of heaven, so he cannot tolerate any dissenting voices reaching his ears."

She had no reason to indulge such a prince, which led to their past entanglements and ultimately resulted in the trouble they have now.

However, after saying that, Song Tangxue quickly asked another question.

"Stop hiding it and tell me clearly what happened."

"Yesterday, Li Zhaoxian secretly went to the post station to find this Third Prince. I don't know what they talked about, but I guess it might be a collaboration."

Xie Qianzhong quickly explained the situation, which surprised Song Tangxue, as she had expected it.

A slight sneer appeared on her lips: "Fish find fish, shrimp find shrimp, isn't that normal?"

But after speaking, he fell silent, as if pondering how to deal with them.

Xie Qianzhong said, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll help you think of something later."

"Li Zhaoyun is now eyeing us covetously, wanting to share the spoils with us. Why don't we make things a little more chaotic?"

Song Tangxue spoke again, and she was prepared to do the opposite.

If Li Zhaoxian had something to do, he naturally wouldn't keep a close eye on them anymore, and he was too busy taking care of himself.

As for the Third Prince, once he gets through this period, even if he wanted to stay here and cause trouble, he wouldn't have the chance.

"This matter needs careful consideration. Don't worry about it now. We'll talk about it later." Xie Qianzhong shook his head again.

And then he suddenly leaned forward and hugged Song Tangxue tightly.

"I don't want to talk about these people who make us unhappy anymore. Today is a good day."

Song Tangxue smiled and nodded.

But just as he was about to say something, the carriage suddenly came to a stop.

This is a seasoned groom; he wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

"I'll go see what's going on." Xie Qianzhong quickly realized that there were probably more people blocking the road outside.

Song Tangxue didn't want to say much, so she just nodded.

Xie Qianzhong quickly went out, but unexpectedly, Li Zhaoyun, riding a white horse, blocked their way.
