Song Wanning stood beside the carriage, her eyes falling indifferently on Cui Xiaoxiao, and she said coldly, "Aunt Cui, why are you dressed like this and coming to see me?"
Seeing this, Cui Xiaoxiao quickly pulled out a box of perfume powder from her sleeve and presented it to Song Wanning, saying flatteringly, "Madam, please look, this perfume powder is specially made by me, and it is different from the ones in the capital. Madam, you may try it. If you like it, you can ask me to work for you in the future."
Song Wanning looked at Cui Xiaoxiao, and finally her eyes fell on the powder box in her hand. "You are not trying to harm me in some way, are you?"
"Madam, you've misunderstood. How could I dare to harm you? I just made something so good that I wanted to present it to you." Cui Xiaoxiao said, sitting up straighter and handing the box to Song Wanning. She said softly, "Madam, take a look. This is absolutely a first-class treasure that you can't find anywhere else."
"Is it really that good?" Song Wanning showed a hint of doubt on her face. She looked at Cui Xiaoxiao and said, "Give it to me and let me smell it."
Upon seeing this, Cui Xiaoxiao hurried forward and offered the scented powder in her hand to Song Wanning. "Madam, please try it. Just apply a small amount of this scented powder on the back of your hand and it will leave a long-lasting fragrance that won't dissipate for a long time. The fragrance is also unique."
Seeing this, Song Wanning took the powder box handed to her by Cui Xiaoxiao and opened it to take a look. When she opened it, the powder inside spread out instantly, and the scent was very unique.
Song Wanning stretched out her finger, touched a small amount and placed it on the back of her hand, then raised her hand and sniffed it with her nose.
It smelled unexpectedly good. Song Wanning glanced at Cui Xiaoxiao and said, "How is this fragrance made? It is indeed quite unique."
"These scented powders are made from roses and mixed with other ingredients. They have a pleasant fragrance." Cui Xiaoxiao smiled ingratiatingly.
At this moment, Wen Tingbai, who had been observing people's words and expressions in the dark, saw the opportunity and strode towards Song Wanning and Yin Yichen. He no longer cared about his jealousy of Yin Yichen. After all, he now had to rely on this couple to make his way to the top.
For this reason, Wen Tingbai also smiled flatteringly and said to Yin Yichen and Song Wanning, "Prime Minister, Madam Prime Minister, it's a rare opportunity to see you today, so I've let the little maid in the mansion come and perform."
When Wen Tingbai said this, his eyes fell directly on Song Wanning, and he said, "I wonder if the Prime Minister's wife likes this perfume powder? Xiao Xiao may not be good at other things, but she is very good at making these novelties. If the lady likes it, I will ask Xiao Xiao to come to your house often and make more small things for the Prime Minister's wife."
"Look at what Mr. Bai said." Song Wanning looked at Wen Tingbai with a calm expression and said slowly, "I really like this perfume now, but..."
As Song Wanning spoke, she felt an itch on her hand. She immediately lifted her sleeve and saw a red rash where she had applied the powder. Song Wanning was immediately horrified and cursed in a trembling voice, "Wen Tingbai, even if you can't bear to see me well, you don't have to resort to such methods and let your concubine harm me like this?"
After hearing this, Wen Tingbo was dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Yin Yichen immediately called out to Zhuque and Caique who were following him, "Hurry up and help Madam to the carriage to rest."
Zhuque and Caique responded and helped Song Wanning into the carriage.
But Yin Yichen was not so easily dismissed. He felt cold all over and looked at Wen Tingbai and said directly, "Second Master Bai, tell me, what happened today? You actually felt resentful because you saw that my wife was living a good life now, and you used such a vicious scheme to harm others. I guess your Zhongping Marquis Mansion no longer wants to have any dealings with the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Seeing this, Wen Tingbai quickly spoke up to excuse himself, "Prime Minister, this is really none of my business. This is all the fault of that vicious woman Cui Xiaoxiao. It has nothing to do with me, really."
After hearing what Wen Tingbai said, Cui Xiaoxiao immediately knelt on the ground with snot and tears, "Second Master, didn't you ask me to make this thing? Why are you blaming me now? It was fine when I applied it myself, who knew it would go wrong like this. Now you really can't blame me, you can only blame the Prime Minister's wife for being weak and not being able to use such a good thing."
Before Yin Yichen could react, Wen Tingbai had already reached out and slapped Cui Xiaoxiao in the face. "I think I've spoiled you too much, allowing you, a vicious woman, to become so lawless. What nonsense are you saying in front of the Prime Minister? You've made such a big mistake, I can't protect you. If the Prime Minister won't forgive you, I definitely won't let you go either."
Yin Yichen sneered, glanced at Cui Xiaoxiao, and said coldly, "Second Master Bai, if anything goes wrong with my wife, I will not be polite to your Zhongping Marquis Mansion. You raised such a harmful concubine, and she even harmed my wife. If you don't give me an explanation now, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Seeing this scene, Wen Tingbai was so frightened that his legs went weak. How could he dare to say anything else? He hurriedly pushed Cui Xiaoxiao out to take the blame, "Prime Minister, this matter really has nothing to do with me. It was all done by that vicious woman Cui Xiaoxiao herself. I now hand this vicious woman over to the Prime Minister for disposal. You can kill her or scalp her. I beg you to forgive my ignorance."
Yin Yichen's voice fell lightly into Wen Tingbo's ears, "A concubine wants to get rid of me? If it weren't for your instructions, how could a concubine dare to do such a thing?"
"No, no, no, sir, you don't know. This vicious woman is very cruel. She was arrogant and domineering outside and did all kinds of evil. If she falls into the hands of the prime minister, she deserves to die. I hope the prime minister will understand." Wen Tingbai's forehead was already covered with fine sweat. He shouldn't have believed Cui Xiaoxiao's words in the beginning. Now, she messed up and implicated himself.
"Okay, take this vicious woman away. She will become a member of my Prime Minister's Mansion in the future. I can deal with her however I want. It will have nothing to do with the Marquis Zhongping's Mansion." Yin Yichen said, glancing at the guards beside him. The guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Cui Xiaoxiao away.
Wen Tingbo stood at the back, like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to utter a word.
After Yin Yichen boarded the carriage, the first thing he did was to check the wound on Song Wanning's arm. Song Wanning lifted her sleeve and reassured Yin Yichen, "It's gone away. It was just a trick."
Yin Yichen still frowned, "Is it really worth it to do this for a vicious woman who once made things difficult for you?"
