Wu Junrou's face turned even colder when she heard this. She said to Madam Lu, "Madam, you are a member of the Lu family after all. You are here to take care of things in the Yin family's house. I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules. My Yin family is not extinct in this world. How can it be your turn as the Lu family to be the manager here? To be honest, I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion today to support my nephew and take charge of this Prime Minister's Mansion. Madam, please understand this in your heart and take your daughter away."
Madam Lu sneered when she heard this and slowly said to Wu Junrou, "Madam, it's not that all the members of your Yin family are dead, but everyone knows that your family is not on good terms with the Prime Minister. Besides, I have a letter of authorization from the Prime Minister's wife. I just don't know why the Prime Minister's wife chose to go to me instead of you, a relative, and ask for help. It's really ridiculous when you think about it."
Wu Junrou felt a pang of pain from Madam Lu. Neither Madam Lu nor her daughter were good people. As the saying goes, a rat's son will dig holes, and this was the truth. Wu Junrou looked at Madam Lu, gritting her teeth but feeling helpless. She could only look at Madam Lu and say, "What kind of person is the Prime Minister's wife? She's not even surnamed Yin. Now that the Prime Minister is in trouble, the Prime Minister's Mansion should have relatives with the same surname come to help."
Seeing this, Madam Lu looked at Wu Junrou and said slowly, "But I remember that Madam's surname was not Yin either. It was Wu. I just don't know when Madam changed her surname to Yin?"
Seeing this, Wu Junrou was even more furious. She sneered and said, "Madam, do you really think I can't deal with you? I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, but I brought the elders of the Yin family with me. Who should be in charge of the things in the Prime Minister's Mansion? The elders should have the final say, not you relatives who are not even remotely related to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
After Wu Junrou said this, the elders of the Yin family outside also slowly came forward. The leading elder said to Madam Lu, "Madam, no matter what the relationship between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Yin Mansion was in the past, now that it has reached such a critical moment and the Prime Minister has encountered such a disaster, these assets should be held in the hands of the Yin family."
The elder's words were both an open and covert attempt to drive someone away, but Madam Lu didn't take it seriously. She immediately said to the elder, "Old sir, my daughter is the sister-in-law of the Prime Minister's wife. Even before she got married, they were as close as sisters. She's still my daughter. I'm here to help my goddaughter manage the household, and the people in the capital won't say anything. Now the elder has come here to support Wu Junrou. Could it be that he wants to take advantage of my goddaughter's absence to seize all the property in the Prime Minister's Mansion for himself?"
The elder's expression changed when he heard this, and he said to Madam Lu, "What kind of logic is this? I've helped the Prime Minister's Mansion do a lot of things these days. When did I want to seize the Prime Minister's Mansion's property?"
"The clan elders are helping Wu Junrou to hold the fort, isn't it because they want Wu Junrou to be in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion's assets and then give you a share of the spoils?" Madam Lu's eyes were sharp, making the clan elders blush with anger.
After hearing this, Wu Junrou said, "In that case, why not go to court?"
As soon as Wu Junrou finished speaking, she heard Song Wanning's voice. Song Wanning stood outside and said directly inside, "Of course we have to go to the court, but not for this matter, but for the fact that Wu Junrou had harmed the Prime Minister's biological mother."
Lu Zijun, who was inside, finally smiled when he saw Song Wanning coming back. He hurried forward a few steps and helped Song Wanning into the house. "Wanning, you're finally back. If not, I'm afraid I still wouldn't be able to defeat this old witch. Fortunately, you're back."
When Wu Junrou heard this, she turned around and looked at Song Wanning, "Wanning, what are you talking about? What happened back then was all a misunderstanding. How can you slander me like this?"
Song Wanning simply strode forward and said to Zhuque, who was waiting on the side, "Go and bring all the evidence to the elders."
When Wu Junrou heard this, her expression changed instantly.
Song Wanning looked at Wu Junrou and spoke word by word, "Wu Junrou, you deliberately told the Prime Minister's mother about his father when she was in labor, causing her to worry and anxiety, leading to two deaths. How could you have easily covered up such a huge sin? Do you really think you did it perfectly? The Prime Minister has been searching for evidence for years. He found it a long time ago, but he just didn't act on it. Who would have thought you would go so far as to escalate it?"
Soon, Suzaku, who was beside Song Wanning, had already pulled out a confession and placed it in Song Wanning's hands. Song Wanning looked at the folded confession in her hands and said to the elders standing by, "Today, I would like to ask you elders to bear witness. If it weren't for Wu Junrou's rebellion, the Prime Minister wouldn't have become an orphan without a father or a mother. Wu Junrou's evil deeds cannot be buried even now. She sent someone to report it, and even conspired with her mother to kill the Prime Minister's wife. All of this was heard by the maids in the mansion. This is the confession. I would like the elders to review it one by one."
The elders in front of him looked at each other. Finally, he reached out and took the confession from Song Wanning's hand.
Wu Junrou was extremely anxious when she saw that what she had done was now exposed. She said to several elders, "Elders, what I have done for the Prime Minister over the years is indeed true. I hope that you will consider my contribution to the Yin family and my care for the Prime Minister and will not hold it against me."
As soon as Wu Junrou said this, the elders in front of her all shook their heads, looking at Wu Junrou with disappointment.
Immediately, these elders turned around and left, leaving Wu Junrou alone to confront the people in front of her.
Wu Junrou's eyes were filled with sadness. She looked at Song Wanning and said, "The Prime Minister is so lucky to have you as his wife. He's already in trouble, and yet you're still running the Prime Minister's Mansion for him. You're just waiting for him to die. You're pregnant, and you're working in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Do you really think you can keep it together?"
Song Wanning just sneered, "Aunt, you might as well take a good look at it. You are alone now. I have my father, brother, and sister-in-law to help me. With such strong backers, I will not suffer any loss no matter what. But aunt, look at how many times you have come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make trouble. Is there anyone around to help you?"
