Yin Yichen was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, listening to the latest news brought to him by Wei Fu.
"Master, I was so worried that I jumped onto the tree in Miss Ning's yard. Who would have thought that I would actually receive news?" Wei Fu proudly pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said to Yin Yichen, "I was afraid I would forget, so I wrote down everything Miss Ning and Pei Xuanzhi said."
Yin Yichen felt strange after hearing Wei Fu's words, "What?"
Wei Fu thought Yin Yichen meant for him to read it, so he lifted the paper, coughed, and began to read. "Young Master Pei said: 'How can you say you are not worthy of me? Wanning, if my family came to propose marriage, would you be willing to marry me? You don't have to rush to tell me, but Wanning, you and I grew up together and know each other well. Our two families are old friends, and my father and mother are very easy to talk to and like you very much. If you marry me, you can do whatever you want, just like you do now at home...'"
"That's enough." Pei Xuanzhi interrupted Wei Fu coldly, "You don't need to tell me all this. Just tell me what Song Wanning said in the end."
Wei Fu cast his gaze to the end of the paper and said to Yin Yichen, "Miss Ning said, 'Then you wait.'"
Yin Yichen tightened his grip on the cup, raised his eyes and asked, "What are you waiting for?"
Wei Fu's gaze shifted upwards, and after a moment's thought, he came to his own conclusion. "Let Young Master Pei wait for General Song Jing to arrange for Miss Ning to marry him. I guess he's waiting for the matchmaking and the invitation."
The cup in Yin Yichen's hand shattered into pieces in an instant and fell to the ground.
Wei Fu was shocked when he saw Yin Yichen's actions, "Master..."
"I really found a good helper for myself. If I had known she was such a woman, I wouldn't have to do business with her and waste so much money." Yin Yichen was now furious and paced back and forth in the room.
"Master, I'm afraid it's not too late to disperse the business now." Wei Fu had an idea in mind and said to Yin Yichen, "I remember a few days ago, Miss Ning said that if the Prime Minister dispersed the business, she would be willing to give him more money. I think it's better to disperse the business now and make more money. If the business grows bigger in the future, it's hard to say whether it will be profitable or not."
Yin Yichen sneered twice after hearing what Wei Fu said. "Song Wanning wants to break up and live a good life on her own? That's simply a daydream. Since I chose you to make money for me, don't even think about getting off my boat."
Wei Fu stood in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, feeling that his master was so unreasonable and terrifying, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Yin Yichen stopped and said coldly, "It's so stuffy in this room. I'm going out for a walk. You don't have to follow me."
Wei Fu thought that Miss Ning was really a pitiful person. She was targeted by her own Prime Minister and even her marriage was impossible.

The Pei family's house was finally almost cleaned. Pei Xuanzhi went to the new house to do the final inspection and left early in the morning.
Song Wanning finally caught Pei Xuanzhi away and called Caique to go out to the house outside the capital. Song Wanning went out secretly, fearing that Song Jing and Song Lan would discover her. She only asked the servants to park the carriage at the west gate and sneaked out while no one was around.
Song Wanning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stepped onto the low stool and climbed into the carriage. As soon as she lifted the curtain, she was startled. Now, a living person was sitting in her carriage. Who else could it be but Yin Yichen?
Cai Que noticed Song Wanning's strange behavior and asked quickly, "What's wrong, girl?"
"It's nothing. Let's go quickly and come back soon." Song Wanning said, and got into the carriage as if nothing had happened.
Song Wanning was now sitting opposite Yin Yichen, and she only whispered, "Prime Minister Yin has now learned how to sneak into carriages."
Yin Yichen narrowed his eyes and examined Song Wanning, chuckling softly, "Didn't you learn this from Miss Ning? Or was it Miss Ning who taught me? Could it be that Miss Ning has forgotten?"
Song Wanning was choked, remembering that she was the one who accidentally got into Yin Yichen's carriage first. She was in the wrong, so she said patiently, "Prime Minister, I am going to the outskirts of the city to look at houses. The journey is long. If you have anything to say, please tell me so that I can let you go, so that you don't have to find a way to come back."
Yin Yichen half-closed his eyes, leaning against the car and dozing, and whispered, "I have nothing to do today, and I thought about the house in the suburbs where I have invested money in business, so I went with you to take a look."
Song Wanning thought to herself that now she and Yin Yichen were riding in the same carriage, and the coachman driving the carriage was an old man from the general's mansion. If someone saw her and Yin Yichen traveling together with his own eyes, and Song Jing heard about it, she would never be able to clear herself of the blame even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Seeing Song Jing like this, Song Wanning had no choice but to persuade him in a low voice, "Sir, the road to the suburbs is long, and you are busy with many things every day. Besides, I can take care of the house by myself, so you can trust me. Besides, there are so many people here, and if passers-by see me and you riding in the same carriage, I am afraid it will be bad for your reputation. We will pass the downtown area soon, so I will just ask the coachman to stop there and let you get off."
After hearing what Song Wanning said, Yin Yichen slowly opened his closed eyes and said coldly, "You are afraid of your own reputation, right?"
Seeing that her little thoughts were exposed, Song Wanning did not refute it, but said in a muffled voice, "Nothing can escape the discerning eyes of adults."
Yin Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly, not intending to let Song Wanning go. "You're riding in the same car with the current Prime Minister and you still feel ashamed?"
Song Wanning felt like she was almost drooling, but Yin Yichen didn't even nod. She hurriedly explained, "My Lord, you misunderstood. You and I haven't gotten married yet. I'm afraid someone might see this and use it as a handle against you. It wouldn't be good if it got out."
Yin Yichen sat up straighter, staring at Song Wanning intently, as if trying to bore a hole through her. "If that's the case, then why were you in the same car with the Pei family kid, and why were you traveling with him in such a crowded and conspicuous place in the city?"
Song Wanning hadn't expected that Yin Yichen would see her hiding that day. She swallowed her saliva and said, "He is different from adults..."
Yin Yichen sneered, "What's the difference? Why? Is it different just because he's your future husband?"
Seeing Yin Yichen like this, Song Wanning was filled with doubts, but her expression also turned cold. "Your Excellency and I are just allies. Your Excellency is being too controlling. What does it have to do with you who I associate with? Even if I wanted to marry him, I'm afraid you wouldn't have the right to interfere, right?"
Song Wanning only heard Yin Yichen's extremely cold voice entering her ears.
"What if I don't allow it?"
