"Look at what you're saying." Before Song Wanning could say anything, Wu Junrou quickly turned around and glared at Yue Lian. "We're family after all, so don't say such things. What's the point of being conscientious or not? It's all because I did something wrong to this child back then, and that's why there's this misunderstanding."
"My mother-in-law had good intentions at the beginning." Yue Lian was not happy to hear this and whispered, "Who would have thought that it was the wife herself who couldn't bear it."
Yue Lian curled her lips and stopped talking.
But now, Song Wanning was naturally not happy to hear others say this about Yin Yichen, and she just suppressed her smile towards Wu Junrou, "Aunt, if this family only thinks that the Prime Minister is a child who can't be tamed, I'm afraid there is no need to have any contact with them in the future. Besides, I'm afraid only Aunt knows what happened back then. If others talk about his biological mother like this, if the Prime Minister hears it, it will only add to his troubles and make him even more unhappy. He is usually busy with official duties and doesn't have the time to care about these things. What should be said and what should not be said is up to you, Aunt."
When Wu Junrou heard Song Wanning say this, she immediately became anxious and looked at Song Wanning and said, "It's just a joke, Wanning, don't take it to heart."
"Forgive my niece's clumsiness, but I've never heard such a joke before." Song Wanning looked at Yue Lian and smiled faintly, "Have you ever heard such a joke, sister-in-law?"
Yue Lian laughed awkwardly and said to Song Wanning, "I was just saying it casually."
"I was born in a general's mansion. Although my family is not very high, I know what to say and what not to say. Now that I see my sister-in-law and aunt, I feel a little confused." Song Wanning only glanced back at Wu Junrou and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I have disturbed you for too long today. If there is nothing important, I will go back first. There are still many things waiting for you to take care of in the mansion."
Wu Junrou waved at Song Wanning and said, "I originally wanted to keep you at home for dinner, but you have so many things to do at home, so I'll just go back first."
Song Wanning responded and left the Yin Mansion.
As soon as Song Wanning went out, the two young wives behind her started cursing.
Yue Lian said coldly, looking at the direction where Song Wanning left and said unhappily, "A second-married woman actually comes here to show off. Who does she think she is?"
Qi Shu, who was standing by, also echoed, "My sister-in-law just said a few words, but Song Wanning was so persistent. It really makes people angry."
"Her husband is now the Prime Minister. What can he do to her?" Wu Junrou sighed and pursed her lips. "If Yin Yichen's father hadn't supported the current emperor and lost his life, how could Yin Yichen have achieved his current power?"
Qi Shu, who was standing by, also nodded, but couldn't help but feel angry. "Yin Yichen and my husband are just peers, and Song Wanning actually raised her generation in front of her mother-in-law. How shameless!"
"Now that she's relying on Chen'er's influence, we can't do anything to her. Let's just wait and see. There's still a lot of time ahead." Wu Junrou sat on a chair and poured herself a cup of tea. "Chen'er has found a good wife. She's a good housekeeper and a good judge of decency. She's beautiful and comes from a good family. So, it seems we can finally put that marriage behind us."
Everyone was still discussing, while on the other side, Song Wanning had already returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Song Wanning glanced at Caique behind her and said calmly, "Remember, any invitations sent by the Yin family in the future will be rejected. Now that the honor has been given, the two families will live their own lives in the future. I'm afraid it's impossible to become a family again."
Cai Que responded from the side, telling Song Wanning the news she had inquired about. "Madam, you don't know, but the master of the Yin family only holds a fourth-rank official position in the court. And your aunt's two sons, one works in the Ministry of Revenue, and the other is still running a business at home. Neither of them has any future. And Master Yin's current official position is not high-ranking, so the family has fallen on hard times. That's why they want to win over the Prime Minister and Madam."
Song Wanning sneered now, looked at Cai Que and said indifferently, "The Yin family is wealthy, so they allow them to live like this. But if they continue like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Song Wanning entered the mansion and said to Cai Que beside her, "It's time to sell the tea cakes from the suburbs of Beijing. I'm just waiting for the tea from the teahouses in Beijing to be almost ready next month, then I'll go talk to the shopkeepers about business."
Cai Que responded from the side, only to hear Song Wanning continue, "Now it's time to take a look at the original properties of the mansion. Although the far ones are out of reach, the ones that are close by can't be left alone forever. I see that the account books of several businesses don't look right, and they all need to be checked."
"I'm afraid the Second Master will be back soon. Ask the servants to light the tea stove first. The Second Master loves to drink tea, so don't delay." Song Wanning was speaking without looking at the road ahead. She walked forward and tripped directly into Yin Yichen's arms.
She raised her head and found that she had bumped into Yin Yichen's chest. Yin Yichen was looking at her with a smile, "Madam, you are so preoccupied with things that you didn't even look at the road."
Song Wanning sighed and stood up straighter. "There are so many things to do at home, and I have to go back home in a few days. How can I have time to watch the road?"
Song Wanning said this, then looked at Yin Yichen in surprise, "You came back early today? When I was in the mansion, my father would always come back at noon after attending court."
"I was thinking about home, so I came back without delay." Yin Yichen took Song Wanning's hand and went into the inner room with her. "Today, I heard from my subordinates that the Yin family called you over. I don't know what they talked about."
"Wu Junrou asked me to persuade you to be a go-between and reconcile the two families." Song Wanning smiled, placed her warm right hand on Yin Yichen's face, and said with a smile, "I fooled them and even offended her two daughters-in-law. I'm afraid that now, their whole family hates me."
"Madam, you are so considerate of me. I am very touched." Yin Yichen smiled and mentioned Song Wanning's business. "Now the family property and land deeds are in Madam's hands. If Madam wants to do business, just take the money from our family."
"Aren't you afraid that I will lose money?" Song Wanning smiled and teased Yin Yichen.
Yin Yichen didn't care at all. "It's okay. At worst, Wan Ning and I can go sleep under the bridge."
The two were laughing when they heard Zhuque rushing in from outside and said to Song Wanning, "Madam, something terrible has happened. Someone is coming from the Rouge Shop. They say that something has gone terribly wrong with the business and they are waiting for you to come over and take a look."
