"Live a good life?" Yin Yichen smiled faintly and said, "I see that my aunt doesn't want to live a good life with me, but is just thinking about the huge wealth of my Prime Minister's Mansion."
As soon as Yin Yichen said this, the elders beside him could no longer sit still. They stood up and said to Yin Yichen, "What are you talking about, kid? Your uncle and aunt are originally from the Yin family. Your current property is all from the Yin Mansion. Although it was left by your father and mother, it still belongs to your uncle and aunt. Even if you are unwilling to use your property to pay respect to your parents, you should still be filial to them all the time. Now you live outside and set up your own family. What will people outside think of your aunt?"
"How many branch families are there in the capital? I've never seen those who have branched out all staring at their nephews." Yin Yichen always spoke harshly, and now he was even more impolite. "I'm afraid I know how my aunt treated me in the past. Now I don't know what she wants by calling these elders. Aunt, why not tell me what you want directly? There's no need to beat around the bush. If it makes my nephew upset, I won't be able to say anything even if I agree."
"What do I ask for? I just see you two living without anyone to look after you in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I thought that if our two families visited each other frequently, it would be more lively during the holidays." Wu Junrou said this, raising her handkerchief to wipe away her tears. "I know you still blame me, but I can't ask you to forgive your aunt now. Just pretend that I didn't come here today."
Wu Junrou was about to stand up and said to the elders, "This trip today is in vain. Fellow elders, just consider it my fault for making you come here in vain."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The leading elder stood up first, looked at Yin Yichen and cursed, "Do you really want to be such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person now?"
"Yi Chen doesn't understand what the clan elder said. I am filial to my parents. I performed a grand ritual for them and have them well enshrined in the ancestral hall. I am loyal to the emperor. Now I have been favored by the emperor and have been promoted to a high position. I have worked diligently to achieve what I have today. How can this be related to being unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust?" Yin Yi Chen sat on the chair, raised his head with a cold look, and spoke in a neither loud nor soft voice.
After hearing this, the elder's face became even gloomier, and he said coldly, "There's really no hope."
As the elder spoke, his gaze fell on Song Wanning, and he immediately said, "I've heard that the general's daughter is a very good person, but now I see that she actually watched her husband do such a thing and didn't know how to persuade him. She seems to be nothing special."
"The elder's words are truly humiliating. How could I not advise him? It's just that the Prime Minister won't listen." Song Wanning looked at the elder and explained with a faint smile, "Before, my aunt said she wanted to take a concubine for the Prime Minister. I agreed without hesitation and was even going to bring her in as a concubine. Who could have known that in the end, my uncle would actually use her himself? This is really unexpected for me."
Seeing this, Wu Junrou quickly interrupted and said, "The elders don't know that Wan Ning has always been a good person. She wouldn't let this matter between me and Yi Chen cause her to lose face with her husband. She has always been well-known in the General's Mansion. I heard that the General's Mansion once took in the family of the General's Old Lady's niece and even found a marriage for this girl. But unfortunately, this girl has a bad fate and has now been kicked out. I believe that Wan Ning will not just leave her alone."
Song Wanning frowned when she heard this. The elder was also surprised when he heard this. "How could such a thing happen?"
"That's right. Today, this girl, Wan Ning, who was going to seek refuge at the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, has fainted at the door of our mansion. I was just asking someone to send her over, and I'm afraid she'll be here soon." Wu Junrou said, her eyes falling on Song Wan Ning, and she said with a smile, "Wan Ning, your cousin grew up with you. Now that she's here to seek refuge with you, you should treat her well. We're all family relatives, and it's always good to interact more. Don't be like me and Yi Chen, who are obviously relatives, but ended up in this situation."
After Wu Junrou said this, the elders beside her nodded, "It seems that Yi Chen's wife is more sensible than him. I just hope she can give her more advice on a daily basis. We elders have been embarrassed by coming here and causing trouble. We have to leave now and will never come again."
Yin Yichen was about to explode, but Song Wanning stopped him. Song Wanning now understood that Yin Yichen was not someone who would tolerate injustice. If she started to make a scene, she didn't know what people outside would say about her.
Wu Junrou brought Guan Surong into the Prime Minister's Mansion in a short while and said to Song Wanning with a faint smile, "Good child, this is your cousin. You should take her in first and then find a good family for her."
Seeing this, Song Wanning could only smile faintly, "Aunt has always been kind and benevolent. Now she is not only taking care of the affairs of her own house, but also trying to find solutions for our relatives. She is really three times kinder than a Bodhisattva."
Wu Junrou just smiled after hearing this, and her eyes fell on Guan Surong, "Surong, you are now living with your cousin. I will not take care of you in the future. Just live a good life here. I am just waiting for your cousin to find a good marriage for you."
"Su Rong would like to thank Madam and cousin here." Guan Surong had a fitting smile on her face. She glanced at the people around her and looked at Yin Yichen with eyes that were almost sparking.
Wu Junrou pushed Guan Surong in, then went out proudly with a group of clan elders.
As soon as Wu Junrou returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she heated up a pot of wine for herself and drank it happily. Mother Shen, who was standing by, looked at Wu Junrou and immediately agreed, "Madam, this move is really very clever. Now this Miss Su Rong has been sent in just like that. Madam, on the surface, is seeking to smooth things over with the elders of the clan, but in fact, it was only for this reason. As expected, it worked."
"If I send her there rashly, I'm afraid Song Wanning will find a way to shirk her responsibility. Now that so many elders are here, I'll flatter her and make it difficult for her to back down. In this way, she'll have no choice but to accept him." Wu Junrou took a sip of wine with considerable pride and said with a smile, "We'll see. Guan Surong is not someone you can easily control. If we go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and abort Song Wanning's fetus, then we'll have a chance."
