Yin Yichen just nodded slightly, but his eyes did not fall on Guan Surong.
Guan Surong was now standing beside Yin Yichen, with an innocent look on her face. She looked at Yin Yichen and smiled, "Brother-in-law, I heard that the Prime Minister's mansion is very large, and the courtyard inside is one of the most beautiful in Shengjing. I wonder if there is a chance for me to go to the Prime Minister's mansion with Sister Ning and brother-in-law to see it."
Guan Surong was delighted to see Yin Yichen's expression, but she had no idea that Yin Yichen was a well-known venomous person in the capital, and he would curse without hesitation. Now, Guan Surong had worn out Yin Yichen's patience, but she was still completely unaware of it.
Guan Surong looked at Yin Yichen and continued, "Brother-in-law is very knowledgeable and now holds a high position of power. He must have seen a lot of the world in the capital. Unlike Surong, who grew up in a remote place, she really hasn't seen many scenes in the capital. I wonder if there will be a chance in the future, if brother-in-law can tell me about interesting things in the capital?"
Yin Yichen's face was extremely cold. He glanced at Guan Surong indifferently and said coldly, "If you want to hear stories, go to the teahouse to listen to crosstalk. Why are you looking for me?"
Guan Surong was stunned. She had never expected that the Prime Minister, who seemed so approachable before, would actually say such cold words. She was stunned for a moment and could only whisper, "Brother-in-law... I..."
Guan Surong was not in a good mood, but Yin Yichen did not know what it meant to be gentle and considerate to a woman. He just said in a cold voice, "As far as I know, my wife Song Wanning only has one biological brother, not a sister who appeared out of nowhere. Please respect yourself, young lady."
"I..." Guan Surong's face turned pale and she wanted to explain something, but she didn't expect that Yin Yichen had already strode forward and distanced himself from her.
Yin Yichen walked on the corridor with light steps, but it was not difficult to see that he was in high spirits.
This only made Guan Surong even more angry. Such a good man was actually seduced by Song Wanning, a second-married woman. If Song Wanning could win his heart, so could she, Guan Surong. Song Wanning simply seized the opportunity first. If she had come to the capital earlier, who knows who would have married Yin Yichen.
Guan Surong stomped her feet in dismay and watched Yin Yichen walk away.
Song Wanning was still in the yard. She only heard the little maid outside come in and announce, and said to Song Wanning, "Miss, the son-in-law is here."
"What?" Song Wanning was surprised to hear this. She remembered that Yin Yichen had agreed to meet her tomorrow, but who would have thought that when she was about to go back, Yin Yichen came alone.
Song Wanning went out and just happened to see Yin Yichen coming in from outside.
Song Wanning was feeling depressed. Seeing Yin Yichen hurried over, she looked at him and asked, "Why are you here?"
Yin Yichen saw the luggage that Song Wanning had placed on the table and smiled faintly, "I came here to discuss something with you. I think I came at the right time."
"I also have something to tell you. Why don't we talk in the carriage?" Song Wanning smiled faintly and left the house with Yin Yichen.
On the way, Yin Yichen noticed that Song Wanning seemed unhappy. He held Song Wanning's hand and said in a low voice, "What's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"
Song Wanning sighed, "Don't mention it. I just had a fight with my father, and I'm afraid he's still angry."
Yin Yichen smiled and put his arm around Song Wanning's shoulders, saying softly, "It's okay, the Prime Minister loves you."
The sight of the two of them chatting and laughing in the corridor deeply hurt Guan Surong. Now that she saw that Yin Yichen treated others in one way and his cousin in another way, how could she feel at ease?
She bit her lip and watched the two of them leave the door with burning eyes, still clutching the handkerchief tightly in her hand.
When Guan Surong turned around, she saw Song Lan standing beside her, looking at her with a thoughtful expression.
Guan Surong quickly gave Song Lan a harmless smile and asked, "Cousin, why are you here?"
"Should I be the one asking this to my cousin?" Song Lan said with a faint smile, "I saw my cousin looking at Wan Ning and the Prime Minister leaving, and she didn't seem very happy."
"How could that be?" Guan Surong said to Song Lan with a harmless smile, "I just felt so sorry to see Sister Ning finally come back, but only stayed for two days before leaving. What my cousin said... I'm afraid he was wrong."
"Is that so?" Song Lan nodded, looking at Guan Surong and said, "I heard that my aunt told my father that she wanted my sister to go to Bishuitang. I wonder if she has ever been to school?"
Guan Surong heard Song Lan say this and just smiled faintly, "I just read some miscellaneous books and barely know a few words. That's why my mother wanted me to go to Bishuitang to see the world. Surong has always been stupid, and I hope my cousin won't despise me."
"I wouldn't say I dislike them, but nowadays everyone in Bishuitang is either rich or noble. If you go there, my cousin, please make sure you don't offend them." Song Lan looked at Guan Surong calmly and said slowly, "After all, although our General's Mansion is not afraid of trouble, we don't want to cause any trouble either."
"My cousin is absolutely right."
After Guan Surong and Song Lan parted ways, they went straight to the west courtyard.
When Madam Guan saw Guan Surong return, she looked at her happily and said, "My dear child, your uncle just sent someone to tell you that you've been accepted into the academy. I've heard that the students at Bishui Hall are all high-ranking officials above the fourth rank. If you know of any powerful families with promising sons, you can take action. After all, as the saying goes, too much oil does not spoil the food."
"Mother, no matter how promising the men of Bishuitang are, how can they be as successful as the Prime Minister?" Guan Surong is still a little unwilling to accept it.
"Silly child, mother has heard that all the princesses in the palace want to marry the Prime Minister. Even though Ning Jie'er is married now, I'm afraid she will face a lot of criticism. We don't want such a husband. There are plenty of good men in the capital." Madam Guan saw that her daughter was still obsessed with Yin Yichen and hurried to comfort her. "Besides, the Prime Minister and Ning Jie'er have just been married, and it's the honeymoon period. I'm afraid it's not good for them to have any grudges. If the Prime Minister can't spare the time to take care of you, how can you win his heart?"
Guan Surong saw that what Madam Guan said made sense, so she could only grit her teeth and agree unwillingly, "Mother, Brother Lan is a military commander. He looks mighty, but not as elegant as the Prime Minister. I think I will go to Bishui Hall and look for a man first. If others are not as good as Brother Lan, I will come back and marry him."
Seeing Guan Surong like this, Madam Guan felt satisfied. She stroked Guan Surong's hair and said with a smile, "We are really wronged."
