Even though Yin Yichen dressed up as a carefree and unrestrained person, he couldn't hide the aura of wealth and nobility that emanated from him. Furthermore, Prime Minister Yin was known for his decisiveness in killing people in the court, constantly exuding an aura of keeping strangers away.
Song Wanning was not afraid. She walked to the private room and looked at Yin Yichen and said, "The Prime Minister is very busy with affairs of state. He actually has time to meddle in other people's business and have tea with people these days. If he had time, why not go to the shop and check on the business?"
"I'm not here to drink tea this time." Yin Yichen put the cup in his hand on the table and replied calmly, "Miss Song is now free and has become more concerned about the business in the shop."
"If we lose money, our lives will be difficult, so we naturally have to pay more attention to it." Song Wanning was not polite. She sat on the chair opposite Yin Yichen and said what she had wanted to say before. "I went to the Marquis' Mansion to get a divorce a few days ago. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's help, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get out. I'm here to thank the Prime Minister today. In the future, I will definitely work hard to make money and don't let the Prime Minister's hard work go to waste."
"It's just on the way." Yin Yichen wanted to say something, but swallowed it back and changed his words, "That's great, I guess I didn't make a mistake in choosing him."
Song Wanning raised her hand, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said lightly, "What did the Prime Minister want to see me about today?"
"I came here today to ask you, the business of the rouge shop has been becoming more and more stable. Judging from Miss Song's personality, I'm afraid she doesn't just want to run this shop, right? I just don't know what Miss Song's current plan is?" Yin Yichen placed his hands on the table, tapping it gently again and again.
"The Prime Minister knows my style of doing things." Song Wanning smiled and said frankly, "Now that the rouge shop's business is stable, my next step is to deal with what the Prime Minister has in hand."
Yin Yichen glanced down and asked, "Tea?"
Song Wanning nodded gently. She remembered that in her previous life, tea from Lingnan was soon plagued by insects, causing a sharp rise in prices. All she had to do was take advantage of her rebirth and pocket all the money she could.
Yin Yichen bluntly expressed his doubts, "Miss Song, there are many tea merchants in the capital now, and they sell all kinds of tea. I'm afraid it won't be easy for Miss Song to get a share of the tea merchants' pie, right?"
"Since you trust me, my Lord Prime Minister, please rest assured." Song Wanning put down the cup in her hand. She couldn't tell Yin Yichen that she was reborn. Song Wanning whispered, "If you are worried and don't want to do business with me, I won't force you."
Yin Yichen laughed instead of getting angry when he heard this. Song Wanning looked gentle and generous, but she had a thorn in her side and could not be easily questioned. Yin Yichen said bluntly, "Since you have said it, I will not doubt it. Miss Song, you can make the decision. If Miss Song needs any help, just send someone to deliver a letter to the mansion."
Seeing that she had reached a consensus with Yin Yichen, and worried about the various matters in her own house, Song Wanning said, "Thank you, Prime Minister. I have a lot of things to do now, so I will leave first."
After Song Wanning finished speaking, she stood up and opened the door of the private room. Unexpectedly, she met Song Lan at the door.
When their eyes met, Song Wanning's expression became awkward, but she quickly returned to normal. She walked a few steps outside, closed the door of the private room, and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"
"Brother Fang Sui sent me an invitation today, asking me to come to Tianxiang Tower with him." Song Lan looked at his sister and smiled, "What is Wan Ning doing here?"
After being reminded by Song Lan, Song Wanning remembered that Song Lan and Fang Sui from Pingyuan Marquis Mansion had been good friends since childhood.
Song Wanning was thinking about what Song Jing had said to her earlier. She really didn't want her family to know about her deal with Yin Yichen, so she just smiled and said, "I came to see someone. Well... I'll go back first. Don't stay too late, brother."
Before Song Wanning had time to go downstairs, Song Lan looked at Song Wanning with a frozen gaze for a moment, the smile on his face gradually dissipated. He said lightly, "Sister, the person you said you wanted to see, is it... Prime Minister Yin?"
Song Wanning was startled and turned around to see Yin Yichen also coming out of the private room and now standing not far behind Song Wanning.
Song Wanning was secretly annoyed and could only laugh dryly to explain, "The Prime Minister helped me a lot before. When I met him outside, I thought of inviting him to dinner."
Song Lan's expression grew increasingly complex after hearing this. Everyone in the court now knew Yin Yichen had a strange, moody temper. No matter how high-ranking an official invited him, he wouldn't go if he didn't want to. Now that Song Wanning had managed to easily arrange a dinner with Yin Yichen, there must be something more complicated going on.
Song Wanning didn't expect that when she said that, Song Lan's face darkened even more. She only heard Song Lan say, "I'll take you home."
Seeing Song Lan's reaction, Song Wanning was even more confused. "Brother, don't you want to stay here for dinner?"
"It's not too late to come back after I send you back." Song Lan said, dragging Song Wanning downstairs and getting into the carriage with her.
Song Lan sat beside Song Wanning, staring at her with a heavy gaze, "Wanning, tell me honestly, did you know the Prime Minister before?"
"How could that be?" Song Wanning had no choice but to lie. If Song Lan and Song Jing knew that she and the Prime Minister were now doing business together, they would probably be scared to death by her.
"The Prime Minister only helped me out unexpectedly a few days ago. I think it was an accidental favor from a rift between us and the Wen family. But he did help me out anyway. Besides, my brother and father also have a seat at the court, so they gave me a little face. I'm afraid we won't have any more interactions after today."
"Really?" Song Lan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and earnestly advised, "The court is turbulent right now. Although the Prime Minister holds a high position of power, he is deeply entangled in it and cannot escape. The struggle for imperial power is more terrifying than one might imagine. The farther our family is from them, the better."
"Yes..." Song Wanning lowered her head and responded softly, then raised her head and said, "Wanning knows, but big brother, can you please not tell my father at home? I will definitely be careful in the future."
"Of course." Song Lan's expression softened, and he looked at Song Wanning and said, "You're only seventeen now, and you've wasted three years in the Marquis' Mansion. Yin Yichen is a famous handsome man in the capital, so please don't have any fantasies about him."
"What are you talking about, brother?" Song Wanning frowned after hearing what Song Lan said, and said unhappily, "I've been married once before, so why would I think about these things? I'm afraid there are no men in the world who are worthy of me now, so it's better not to marry."
Song Lan opened his mouth and refuted, "Wan Ning, it's wrong to think so. I heard my father say a few days ago that he would find a new husband for you."
