Chapter 222 Persuading the Prime Minister



The Prime Minister remembered what his wife had said to him before, and when he thought about it carefully, he understood it instantly.

He said that the Ye family and the Wang family had no connection, so why would the Ye family suddenly come to ask for Mu Yu's hand in marriage?

After a long time, the man finally fell in love with his eldest daughter, but his wife wanted to snatch the marriage away for her daughter.

When Prime Minister Wang thought about how his wife almost messed up the matter because of her own selfishness, he suddenly felt angry.

Fortunately, Concubine Jing took over the matter, so he nodded.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Your Majesty has the final say. I am so happy that I can't wait to object."

"But, my lady, I already have a wife at home, so I'd better let my humble wife handle this matter."

"Her Majesty is in the harem, and many things are inconvenient for her. It would be more convenient for her stepmother to handle it."

After the Prime Minister finished speaking, he was afraid that Concubine Jing would be dissatisfied, so he made a promise.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since I already know about this matter, I will definitely not treat Mu Xue unfairly."

Concubine Jing was only helping Wang Muxue to agree to this matter. If she really wanted to make it happen, she would have to rely on the second wife.

"Since the Prime Minister is so willing, I will trust you this time."

"Mrs. Ye, I'll have to trouble you to ask Mrs. Qin to come over for this matter."

Madam Ye immediately smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will definitely take good care of this matter."

Concubine Jing was very satisfied, and even smiled more often.

"In that case, then this matter is settled."

"I still have some matters to discuss with the Prime Minister, so I won't keep you any longer."

"Ruo Wei, I heard that the lotus flowers that have recently bloomed in the Imperial Garden are quite nice. Why don't you take your cousin and the Third Young Master to have a look?"

Shangguan Ruowei agreed with a faint smile. She just wanted to ask about her cousin and the third young master, so she took Wang Muxue and left.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ye hurriedly took her leave. Concubine Jing waved her hand and asked Qingling to send the person out.

After everyone had left, Concubine Jing gave the Prime Minister a seat.

"Prime Minister, are you blaming me for not giving you enough face just now?"

The Prime Minister was indeed dissatisfied, but he did not admit it. Seeing his expression, Concubine Jing sighed.

"I know you love your second wife and her daughter, but don't forget that Mu Xue is also your daughter."

"She's been pretending to be nice to Mu Xue these years, do you think she's really nice to Mu Xue?"

"Which lady wouldn't be able to see through this little trick? She just didn't say it out loud because she was afraid of you being the Prime Minister."

"But things are different now. Prince Yu is inhumane, and Your Majesty is not in charge of state affairs. It's only a matter of time before the Crown Prince rises."

"The Crown Princess is from the Ye family, and Ye Pengcheng won a victory and got promoted. The Ye family is no longer what it used to be."

"What's more, who in the capital doesn't know that Tianquan Bookstore and Tianji Bank are both owned by the Crown Princess?"

"The Ye family finally took a fancy to Mu Xue. Now that the Wang family and the Ye family have the opportunity to form an alliance, it can be considered as an indirect surrender to the prince."

"Your wife is so good that she almost ruined this marriage in order to seek happiness for her daughter."

Prime Minister Wang frowned slightly, "Eldest sister, she told me that Ye Chang fell in love with Mu Yu, so I..."

Concubine Jing shook her head helplessly, "You, I'm not saying anything about you."

"Don't you think about it carefully? Your daughter was spoiled and domineering. How could Ye Chang like her?"

"Besides, it's unreasonable to propose to the younger sister when the older sister isn't married yet."

"From what I see in you, you were infected by that stupid woman."

Prime Minister Wang was a little embarrassed, and Concubine Jing was too lazy to waste words with him.

"I'm warning you, go back and tell that foolish woman that it's best not to cause any more trouble."

"The Third Young Master is a scheming kid, and Mu Xue has the same personality as him. They are a perfect match made in heaven."

"Also, let me remind you that the Yaoguang Pavilion where Mu Xue is currently staying is also owned by the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."

"Mu Xue, befriend her and become her third sister-in-law in the future. This will benefit both you and the Wang family."

"As for your second daughter, if the Prime Minister's Mansion advances further in the future, are you still worried that she won't find a good family?"

The Prime Minister was enlightened, and the dissatisfaction in his heart immediately disappeared.

"Don't worry, elder sister. I know what to do."

Seeing that he had figured it out, Concubine Jing finally felt relieved. She chatted with him for a few more minutes about family matters and then let him leave.

In the Imperial Garden, Shangguan Ruowei looked at Wang Muxue and then at Ye Chang, the smile on her face never fading.

Wang Muxue felt embarrassed when she looked at her and glared at her secretly.

"Cousin, why are you glaring at me? Are you annoyed that I'm an eyesore here?"

Shangguan Ruowei laughed even harder after she said that, and Wang Muxue's face immediately turned red.

"Princess, how come you've learned to make fun of me?"

Shangguan Ruowei chuckled and then looked at Ye Chang.

"Master Ye San, my cousin is a very good girl. You must treat her well in the future."

"Otherwise, this princess will be the first one who won't let you go."

Ye Chang looked at Shangguan Ruowei with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Princess. Ye Chang will definitely take good care of Miss Mu Xue in the future."

Shangguan Ruowei hugged his arms and rubbed them, then shuddered somewhat exaggeratedly.

"Oh my, I can't stand it anymore. You guys chat first. I'll come chat with my cousin later."

Shangguan Ruowei said this and ran away with her personal maid without looking back.

But she was running in a hurry and didn't see the person coming towards her.

As a result, he plunged into the other person's arms.

"Aiya, who is the blind man who dares to bump into me?"
