Guan Surong recalled the encounter that day and had already asked the maid to find out the identity of Wen Tingbo. However, she had no reason to complain and immediately went to the appointment according to the address written on Wen Tingbo's post.
The place where Wen Tingbai invited Guan Surong was the famous Tianxiang Tower in the capital. This Tianxiang Tower was not accessible to ordinary people, even Guan Surong had never been there. In the past, she was a concubine in the Yan Mansion and could not show her face in public. Now she felt it was rare to see it.
Guan Surong was a little surprised when she saw the carved beams and painted buildings of Tianxiang Tower, but she still patiently pretended not to know and went upstairs.
When Wen Tingbai saw his personal servant bringing Guan Surong in, he quickly greeted her with a smile, "It's been a few days since we last met. Miss Guan looks even more respectable now than before."
"Sir, please don't tease me. I'm just a floating duckweed now, and my life is very difficult." Guan Surong sat on the chair, looked at Wen Tingbai and laughed out loud, "Now I am honored to be invited by you, but I don't know what it is for."
Seeing this, Wen Tingbai didn't hide anything and said, "Miss Guan, I, Wen, have heard about your past experiences. I wonder if you are willing to seek revenge?"
"Revenge?" Guan Surong narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly, "I wonder what revenge you mean, Second Master?"
"Of course, I want to take revenge on the person who made you what you are now." Wen Tingbai took out paper and pen, and wrote the word "Song" on the paper.
Guan Surong saw this, her expression unchanged, and responded calmly, "Sir, have you misunderstood? The Song family is my distant relative. I'm fine, why would I seek revenge on them?"
"Miss Guan, let's not beat around the bush. If I tell you, I can help you get into the Prime Minister's Mansion." Wen Tingbai looked at Guan Surong and said softly, "To be honest, the Prime Minister's Mansion has offended me. It's a pity that the Prime Minister's Mansion is now so powerful that I can't match it. I thought that when I get the chance in the future, I will definitely defeat them. Now everyone in the capital wants to win over the Prime Minister's Mansion, but no one can succeed. Since I can't succeed, I will wait and plan to make it so that no one can come to my side. It will be a good revenge for the insult I suffered earlier."
Guan Surong looked at Wen Tingbai and saw that he didn't seem to be joking. She was stunned for a moment and said slowly, "I wonder what method the Second Master mentioned to get me into the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Although I don't have the nerve to do so, I know there are people in the capital who have such means and abilities." Wen Tingbai looked at Guan Surong and said with considerable pride, "If you are interested, just wait for my news."
Seeing this, Guan Surong didn't know what to say and just waited for news from Wen Tingbo.
-
Yin Mansion.
In the courtyard, Wu Junrou asked Shen Mama beside her in confusion, "It's been quite a while now, and the woman in the Prime Minister's Mansion is almost pregnant. Why is there still no news of her miscarriage?"
Mother Shen, standing nearby, also found it strange. "No news has come out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, I went to ask the spy there earlier and found out that the ones in the inner courtyard were discovered and sent away by that person. Now, there are only a few left outside, cleaning inconspicuously, but I don't know what's going on inside."
"That's strange. I clearly saw her wearing rouge that day. Logically, she should have miscarried long ago."
"I find this strange, too." Madam Shen echoed Wu Junrou, "Not to mention the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even the one in our mansion hasn't had a chance to take action. Madam, please think of another solution quickly. If it's a few months later, and a bastard is born in our courtyard and a legitimate son is born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, then life will be really difficult in the future."
Wu Junrou was even more furious when she said this. She looked at Mother Shen and said, "When the old man was still alive, he favored Chen'er's father. All the business and money in the family were given to Chen'er's father. His father then married a capable wife and used all the money to do business. Who knew that the business would grow bigger and bigger, and money would make more money. We were originally a family. I didn't see the old man give any money or property to the master of the family. He gave it all to Chen'er's father. But Chen'er's mother was very strict and hid all the property tightly. But it should have belonged to our family. Now Chen'er has set up his own family and taken all the property away. It's really a pity that we have no share in it."
Seeing this, Shen's mother hurriedly spoke to comfort her, "Don't be sad, Madam. If my brother's wife can't give birth to a child, all this property will belong to my brother in the future."
"That's true. They're both very competitive. Chen Ge'er has offended so many people. They're all waiting for him to fall from grace." Wu Junrou said, taking a sip of tea from the teacup beside her, and chuckled softly, "I heard that the emperor's favor towards him is not as strong as before."
Mother Shen was standing by, quite surprised, and asked, "Didn't I hear that the Prime Minister is in great favor with the emperor?"
"Things are no longer as they were before. A while ago, His Majesty got a concubine named Yu Meiren, who was very favored by the emperor. Now, Yu Meiren's family has been promoted. Yin Yichen has been somewhat neglected now. Although his power is not small, he is no longer as glorious as before." Wu Junrou snorted and said with a smile, "Let's just wait and see."
Mother Shen echoed from the side, and soon the mother at the door brought a note to Wu Junrou, "Madam, the Zhongping Marquis's Mansion has sent another note, saying that they have something to tell you, Madam. Please take a look."
Seeing this, Mother Shen hurriedly spoke up to persuade them, "Madam, the reputation of the Marquis of Zhongping's Mansion is getting worse and worse. I wonder where Mr. Bai got the news that Madam and the Prime Minister's Mansion are not getting along. He keeps sending invitations to bother us. I don't know what he's up to."
"Mr. Bai is really anxious. I don't know what he's busy with all day long." Wu Junrou said with a smile, "I'd like to know what tricks he has come up with now."
Wu Junrou said as she took the note from her mother's hand and opened it to read. After a while, she laughed out loud, "Second Master Bai, oh Second Master Bai, he can think of any tricks these days. Send someone to write a note and send it to the Zhongping Marquis's residence, and ask him to send someone here soon. Song Wanning, oh Song Wanning, I don't believe that I can't control you no matter what."
