Lord Shen turned around.
"What did you say?"
"You have a son."
As she spoke, she pointed at Prime Minister Jiang, looking on with an expression of anticipation.
Prime Minister Jiang was horrified upon hearing this, feeling that something was about to happen.
"Your son is his adopted son~"
As soon as Lin Wanwan finished speaking, Lord Shen was filled with astonishment.
"What did you say? Where did I get a son?"
Over the years, he has also wanted to have a son.
However, his wife was unable to conceive, and he even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his health.
"Ni's son didn't die; he was drugged by Ji and faked his death. He's gone."
"An empty grave that's been burned in mud for over ten years~"
Prime Minister Jiang stood not far away, his face pale and his palms sweating.
The son he raised was this old man's biological son?
The sudden news was hard for him to accept.
"Impossible! My adopted son is already twenty-one years old. How could he possibly be your son?"
"Hurry up and leave. I'll give you all these snacks. Take them and go far away."
He scooped up Lin Wanwan and shoved her into Xiao Suizi's arms, shouting angrily:
"Take me away, or I'll castrate you!!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Suizi weakly said, "Your Excellency, this servant... has already been castrated by His Majesty..."
Prime Minister Jiang's expression froze, then he angrily said:
"I...I...I'll chop you up!!"
Lin Wanwan clung tightly to Prime Minister Jiang's clothes, refusing to leave.
Prime Minister Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "Here you are. Seeing this waist token is the same as seeing me. If you have any business, just go directly to the Prime Minister's residence to find me."
Lin Wanwan glanced at the wooden sign in her arms with disdain.
Prime Minister Jiang was practically begging Lin Wanwan to kneel down.
"Grandma, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"I will never slack off again, okay?"
"Please, please go."
His wife and children are gone, and now he only has an adopted son to depend on. The longevity charm has been torn up, and his fate is broken. He will have to meet that damned woman again in the next life.
Can't we just let him live out the rest of his life in peace?
Prime Minister Jiang took out a silver note from his pocket, glanced at it with heartache, then closed his eyes and stuffed it into her hand, "Wanwan, take this and go buy some candy."
Lin Wanwan took a look.
Wow, 100,000 taels?
"don't want."
She silently pushed it away with her small hand.
The fleeting glint in his eyes did not escape Prime Minister Jiang's notice.
The old man stuffed it directly into Lin Wanwan's large pocket, saying, "If you don't want it, I'll just throw it in the trash can."
"Do you want it?"
"You...really throw the trash can in there?"
When Prime Minister Jiang saw that although she was pushing the silver note to him, she didn't let go of it at all, he knew that the girl was testing him.
He pursed his lips and said, "Yes, throw away the trash."
"Then... I'll take it. Wouldn't it be a waste to give it to that scumbag?"
"Yes, yes, it's a waste."
"Then... can I come back next time?"
Is it possible?
"Yes, of course you can! Come whenever you want!!"
The minor officials, who were writing furiously and pretending to be busy, felt their hearts bleed when they heard the Prime Minister's words.
Okay, okay.
Did His Majesty deliberately send this young girl for a surprise inspection?
Why did you work so hard to get into this place in the first place?
Isn't it just because I heard that food and drink are provided here, that you're not bored?
"Prime Minister Jiang, this is the inner cabinet. How can we allow her to come here so casually? Even if she has rendered meritorious service at the Divine Summoning Conference, this is still unacceptable!"
"What if the secret is leaked...?"
“Uncle, you said bad things about Uncle Jiang yesterday…”
"Shut up!" Lord Yuan shouted angrily. "Don't talk nonsense, you little brat. How could I possibly speak ill of our Lord Jiang?"
“You and Prince Jia said that you want Uncle Jiang to step down, and then he will take over…”
Prime Minister Jiang stared incredulously at his assistant Yuan Shuo, who was sitting next to him.
"Yuan Shuo, is what Wanwan said true?"
Yuan Shuo's heart pounded in fright. How could this brat know these things?
"Your Excellency, please don't listen to her nonsense. My loyalty to you is as clear as day!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and swore an oath towards the door.
Tianfeng, standing to the side, almost vomited at his hypocritical behavior.
'Humans are indeed vulgar; they'd swear an oath for a few taels of silver?'
"Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning!"
Rumble rumble—
Suddenly a loud bang startled Lord Yuan, who almost twisted his ankle.
Hearing the thunder outside the door and glancing at Lord Yuan making his oath, Prime Minister Jiang completely trusted Lin Wanwan's words.
He stepped forward and grabbed Lord Yuan by the collar.
"It's thundering, and you're still saying there's nothing?"
"You dare betray me?!"
Lord Yuan waved his hand in fright, "No, Prime Minister, I didn't..."
"Huh? What should I remember?"
Lin Wanwan sat under the table, holding a pastry in her left hand and a letter in her right.
The Prime Minister lowered his head and took it from Lin Wanwan's hands.
Then, under Lord Yuan's horrified gaze, it was opened.
"No, sir!" Lord Yuan exclaimed.
The Prime Minister dodged Lord Yuan's hand and began to skim through the letters.
The more I looked at him, the worse his complexion became; the more I looked at him, the more his body trembled.
Finally, he viciously threw the letter at Lord Yuan's face.
"You bastard!"
How dare you?
"I've gone to great lengths to train you, and what do you do? You turn around and hand over my secret information to Prince Jia!"
Lord Yuan was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud.
"Your Excellency, I was forced into this situation. Please have mercy on me."
