The Yin family's mansion is also in the capital. Yin Yichen's uncle Yin Qiqing married Wu Junrou, and the family had two sons and one daughter.
Now they are all serving as officials in the imperial court, but unfortunately, their luck in the officialdom has not been good, and to this day, no one in the family has held a high position. If we were to talk about the most promising child, it would undoubtedly be Yin Yichen. Unfortunately, a few years ago, after becoming an official, Yin Yichen bought a mansion and moved out of the Yin family, living alone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and completely lost contact with the Yin family.
But how could the Yin family be willing to give up such a good relative like Yin Yichen? Even though the family had done many things that wronged Yin Yichen in the past, they still had to come here shamelessly and treat them as Yin Yichen's elders, pretending to have a good relationship with them in front of outsiders.
Now Wu Junrou acted like the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She took advantage of Yin Yichen's absence and took a large sum of money from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
While taking care of the banquet for guests at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he also made sure the brazier for the bride to enter was burning brightly.
Although the bride has not been brought back yet, the elders of the Yin family saw Wu Junrou running around for Yin Yichen, so they took the initiative to help Yin Yichen and the first wife break the ice.
The elder of the Yin family immediately spoke to Wu Junrou, "Junrou has always been sensible. If she hadn't raised Yichen when he was a child, how could he have achieved his current success? In my opinion, it is appropriate to let Qiqing and Junrou take the place of the spirit tablet and receive the worship of the newlyweds. Even if this child has become the Prime Minister now, he still has the blood of the Yin family flowing in his body."
Wu Junrou was overjoyed when she heard this, but then she thought about how furious Yin Yichen would be when he returned, so she feigned an embarrassed smile at the Yin family elder and said, "Let's not do it. The child still blames me. If I really sit on it, I'm afraid the child will be angry when he returns. It's such a happy day, let's not cause any unpleasantness."
"That happened a long time ago. Even if you were wrong back then, it's time to move on." Seeing Wu Junrou didn't dare to sit down, the elder said immediately, "It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this happy occasion to reconcile with Yi Chen. It will be a happy family and it will be more appropriate for us to have more interactions in the future."
"Is this really going to work? I hope the kid doesn't blame me." Wu Junrou touched her hairpins and rings, which looked pretty neat. She reluctantly sat on the chair where the bride and groom knelt to pay their respects.
Not long after, the wedding procession returned in a grand procession, and the door was crowded with people wanting to see the bride. Song Wanning got out of the sedan chair and walked up the steps with small steps. She heard her mother beside her say, "The bride is crossing the fire basin——"
Song Wanning raised her feet and stepped over the brazier, then walked forward following the guidance of the concierge's mother.
Yin Yichen walked beside her, and the two were neither far nor close. The bride and groom walked in together and slowly came to the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Even though Song Wanning was wearing a red veil, she could clearly sense that something was amiss in the atmosphere. The spectators nearby were silent, while the person next to her seemed to have taken a deep breath.
Song Wanning didn't know what was going on. She only heard Yin Yichen sneer, "Uncle and aunt, what do you mean by this?"
Wu Junrou, who was sitting at the top, saw that Yin Yichen's face was not very good, and immediately smiled and stood up, "I told you long ago that it's not appropriate for me to sit here. The elders insisted that I sit here, and I said that you must be unhappy to be back. I will have your father and mother's spirit tablets moved back here right away."
The elder sitting nearby felt embarrassed and whispered to Yin Yichen, "Yichen, your aunt raised you for so many years. Even if she didn't have any merits, she worked hard. She deserves this position. You actually lost her face in front of so many guests. How can she control the servants and make decisions as a housekeeper in the future?"
Before the elder could finish, Yin Yichen, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, interrupted him and said with a fake smile, "Today is my wedding day. Do you really want to go against me like this?"
Although Yin Yichen was only twenty-one, he was already a powerful official in the court, known for his decisiveness and ruthlessness. He could usually put pressure on veteran officials in their forties and fifties without blinking an eye. Now, he was clearly furious, and the guests standing behind him didn't even dare to breathe.
The elder of the clan also blushed and was angry on his own.
Seeing the two of them deadlocked, Wu Junrou, who was sitting on top, quickly stood up and explained herself, smiling and saying to them, "Don't be angry, there's nothing to be angry about. It's all my fault for not knowing my limits. I stood up and told my men to return Yi Chen's spirit tablet, and the matter was resolved."
When Yin Yichen arrived here, the aura around him was still cold. He just looked at Wu Junrou and said word by word, "In the future, please understand your own status and don't sit in a place that is not yours."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. It was my aunt who lost her sense of proportion. I will never make such a mistake again in the future."
Wu Junrou's constant subservience made Yin Yichen seem unreasonable. However, his reputation in the capital was not good, and he was also known as the "cold-faced prime minister", which Yin Yichen never let go of.
After a while, the spirit tablet was moved back, and Yin Yichen and Song Wanning worshipped heaven and earth according to the rules.
Song Wanning was soon sent to the yard prepared by Yin Yichen. She sat quietly in the bedroom waiting for Yin Yichen to entertain the guests outside.
Zhuque and Caique, who were beside Song Wanning, were afraid that she would be hungry, so they brought her a lot of food from the small kitchen and put it in her bedroom.
Zhuque said to Song Wanning, "Miss, there are a lot of guests outside. I'm afraid it will take a long time for the Prime Minister to come. You might as well lean back and rest for a while."
"The rules must not be broken." Although Song Wanning said this, she reached out and took a piece of dessert, put it into her mouth and ate it in small bites.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhuque and Caique were afraid that the Prime Minister would suddenly come over, so they just said to Song Wanning, "Miss, we two servants will go out first and wait outside. If you want to eat anything or have anything else, just call us."
Song Wanning responded, and the two maids went out, leaving Song Wanning alone in the room bored.
Song Wanning was bored waiting, so she lifted the veil and looked around. This bedroom now had a lot more things added to it than when Song Wanning last saw it. It was much more exquisite than before. It seemed that Yin Yichen had put a lot of effort into it.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard some noise outside the door, and Song Wanning hurriedly pulled the red veil to cover herself again.
There was a creaking of the door, and the sound of footsteps came from Song Wanning's ears, followed by Yin Yichen's low voice, "Are you waiting so obediently?"
