Yin Yichen put his arm around Song Wanning's shoulders and helped her into the carriage.
Seeing that Yin Yichen's expression was still not very good, Song Wanning just sat on the brocade cushion beside the carriage. Looking at Yin Yichen behind her, she said softly, "I was a little reckless today. I will definitely be more cautious next time. What do you think?"
Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning's expression and said softly, "I told you a few days ago that this matter couldn't be rushed, and asked you to wait for me at home. You actually ignored my words. Are you so attached to Pei Xuanzhi? If you come now and Gu Jie holds a grudge against you, or if something goes wrong, how can I live?"
Song Wanning sat closer to Yin Yichen and hurriedly explained, "If I hadn't heard that Pei Xuanzhi was sentenced to death today, I wouldn't have rushed here. He saved my life and is a family friend. I couldn't just stand by and watch, so I stepped in to save him. Don't be angry, nothing happened to me. Just trust me this time, I won't act rashly again."
"I told you long ago that I won't let you repay my life-saving grace alone. You just don't believe me, so what can I do to you?" Yin Yichen said helplessly to Song Wanning, "Since you're acting on your own, there's really nothing I can do."
Song Wanning knew that Yin Yichen was angry this time, and no matter how much she talked, Yin Yichen just didn't calm down.
Seeing Yin Yichen's expression, Song Wanning said in a somewhat exasperated voice, "You're blaming me now. What did you expect me to do by myself? I didn't intend to go, but the situation was dire. I explained it to you, but you wouldn't listen. What can I do? If you're angry, just leave me and the child to live in this huge mansion alone."
Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning. Although he was angry, he still said to her helplessly, "I know you are anxious, but you can't ignore yourself. I will handle the rest of this matter. You stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Seeing Yin Yichen's resolute attitude, Song Wanning said helplessly, "Well, I'll tell you everything I heard so that you can have an idea in your mind."
Song Wanning spoke, telling him everything she had heard. She looked at Yin Yichen helplessly and said, "That's all I know. I thought we could start with that scoundrel's wife and daughter and ask them if they could find any clues."
"I understand. You stay at home. I will personally handle this matter for Pei Xuanzhi and will not let him die." Yin Yichen said as he led Song Wanning out of the carriage, sent Song Wanning into the mansion, and quickly turned around and walked out.
This matter quickly spread from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Yin Mansion. After hearing the words of the servant who reported the news, Mother Shen immediately stepped forward to tell Wu Junrou the latest news.
Mother Shen stood beside Wu Junrou and said to her, "Madam, there's a letter from the other end saying that the Prime Minister's wife was running around early this morning for the Pei family's affairs. The Prime Minister was very angry when he found out about it. He sent her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and then left. She looked very unhappy when she left."
Wu Junrou laughed when she heard this, "The wife of the Prime Minister is still thinking about her childhood sweetheart. She's pregnant and still flaunting it everywhere. No wonder Yi Chen is angry. If this gets out, won't it make outsiders laugh at her?"
Mother Shen responded from the side, quickly chiming in, "Madam, while the couple's relationship isn't harmonious, why not take this opportunity to send a few mothers into their mansion? Previously, the Prime Minister's wife used her words to get rid of many of our people in the mansion, and now there are only three or five people from the outer courtyards in the Prime Minister's mansion, making things inconvenient. Seeing that the Prime Minister's wife is about to give birth, we must also make preparations early."
"You're right. Go find a few capable people in our courtyard right away and find a way to send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Wu Junrou said with a sneer, "That one is quite clever. She must have discovered the problem with the box of rouge long ago. She had no use for it at all, but she even tried to make it look like she was using it to confuse me. I saw that the baby in her belly was firmly seated, and her life was getting more stable day by day. As her belly grew bigger, I realized it was all a smokescreen."
"This little rascal shouldn't be underestimated. He actually has such ability that he fought back and forth with his wife."
Wu Junrou laughed out loud upon seeing this, and said slowly, "This isn't surprising. She was married to the Marquis of Zhongping's mansion and worked as a steward, and she managed everything very well. Now that she's remarried to Chen Ge'er, she's learned everything before, so she's naturally adept at it. It's just that it's hard to say whether she can keep the baby she's pregnant with. The situation is so chaotic right now, and she's traveling so much. If anything goes wrong, she'll only have herself to blame."
Mother Shen said, "Madam, you are wise. What are you going to do now?"
"First, arrange for a few people to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion as a precautionary measure. Also, keep an eye on the situation in the court at all times. If my brother is found guilty, we must also find a way to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion's property from being confiscated." Wu Junrou said slowly, "These properties will belong to our Yin Mansion in the future and must not fall into the hands of others."
"I understand, madam." Mother Shen responded, then turned to look at Wu Junrou helplessly, "Madam, you may not know that Yuan Xian in this mansion is getting pregnant. We are facing internal and external troubles. What should we do?"
Wu Junrou looked unhappy. "Let's deal with the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion first. The Prime Minister's Mansion is now crumbling, and the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion is pregnant. We must seize the opportunity, otherwise the fat sheep in our mouth will run away. Even if this person in our courtyard has given birth to a bastard, he is still young. After we get the property in the future, we can find a way to deal with him."
"I understand, Madam. I will go down and do my work right away. I will definitely not let that woman give birth to a legitimate son. If a legitimate son is born, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for us to do anything in the capital in the future, and inheriting the Prime Minister's estate is out of the question." Mother Shen said, then turned around and went out to work, leaving Wu Junrou alone in the room talking to herself.
Wu Junrou looked at her face in the mirror, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she slowly said, "I think having children to continue this house and take over all the assets of the Yin family is just a daydream."
