Seeing Song Jing like this, Yin Yichen was not angry. He just placed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and said with a smile, "General, why don't you play this game of chess with me first? Otherwise, I'm afraid you will lose soon."
After hearing what Yin Yichen said, Song Jing just looked at the chessboard coldly, but still gave the prime minister some face.
Song Wanning and Song Lan stood not far away, watching the two play chess and whispering to each other. Song Wanning only looked at Song Lan and said in a low voice, "Why did you come so quickly?"
"What do you think?" Song Lan glanced at Song Wanning helplessly and whispered, "Dad was almost mad to death when he heard that the Prime Minister was here. You don't know, the Prime Minister asked for leave as soon as you arrived, saying that he was sick. Dad even went to the Prime Minister's house a few days ago to check on him, fearing that he was faking illness and came to Putuo Temple. The Prime Minister pretended to be sick in front of Dad and fooled Dad. Do you think Dad would not be angry?"
After hearing what Song Lan said, Song Wanning found it a bit funny. She suppressed her laughter and said in a low voice, "This is like the Prime Minister's style."
Song Wanning's words surprised Song Lan. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Wanning, it's only been a few days, and you've become so familiar with the Prime Minister? You even know what he's like every day."
After hearing what Yin Yichen said, Song Wanning felt guilty again and said in a low voice, "There are many rumors in the streets, so it's not surprising to know."
Song Lan knew his sister's temperament very well. He just glanced at her lightly and didn't bother to pay attention to her. "I think your three souls and seven spirits have already been seduced by the Prime Minister."
"I didn't tell you before, but the Prime Minister is a very popular candidate for husband in the capital. Even the princess is jealous of him. How can Wan Ning compare with those women? Moreover, the Prime Minister has a complicated background. If she really marries him, I'm afraid that the suffering in the future will be as numerous as the sea."
"I..." Song Wanning paused for a moment, and didn't say anything more. She just looked at Song Lan and said, "Brother, Daddy is angry. You have to help me."
Song Lan just glanced at his mouth and said coldly, "You can do it on your own. You have your own ideas in mind. I can't help you."
"Brother!" Song Wanning scolded, looking at Song Lan and said, "Brother, if you don't help me now, I won't help you in the future. I haven't done anything wrong. It was Daddy and Brother who sent me to Putuo Mountain."
Song Lan didn't say anything when he heard Song Wanning. The brother and sister ignored each other and turned their faces away.
Meanwhile, the chess game between Song Jing and Yin Yichen in the pavilion also came to an end. Yin Yichen placed the last black piece on the board and said softly, "General, your mind is distracted. This game has been lost. General, you are not as good as Miss Ning and this Prime Minister in playing back and forth."
Song Jing's face was not looking good now. Seeing Yin Yichen's harsh words, he turned his face away and sneered, "As a military commander, I only know how to fight bloody battles on the battlefield. I am really not as good as the Prime Minister who has eighteen martial arts skills."
Yin Yichen was not angry after hearing this, but just smiled and said, "Generals and civil officials are both the backbone of the court, and neither can be missing. Generals plan strategies on the battlefield and win battles thousands of miles away. I only rely on handling some trivial matters in the court, which makes me more worried. I hope the general will forgive me."
Song Jing's face darkened as he slowly said, "My family is small, and we are not worthy of being in the Prime Minister's prestigious office. I hope the Prime Minister will see his true identity in the future and stop associating with my daughter."
Before Yin Yichen could speak, Song Jing had already stood up and looked at Song Lan behind him and said, "Lan'er, since you are here, go and pay your respects to your aunt before leaving."
"I understand, father." Song Lan responded and followed Song Jing all the way up to the attic of Putuo Temple.
Song Wanning was originally standing on a pavilion several meters away from Yin Yichen, but she didn't expect Yin Yichen to seize the opportunity and stand next to her again. Song Wanning looked at him in surprise and said, "You dare to come here? I'm afraid my father will scold you again when he comes down later."
"If you can't even handle this little bit of scolding, how can I possibly endure the day when I marry you?"
Song Wanning pursed her lips and whispered, "I never realized before that the Prime Minister is not only vicious but also shameless. No wonder Dad called the Prime Minister shameless."
Yin Yichen said frankly, "If my face can neither keep me fed nor help me find a wife, then what do I need it for?"
When Song Wanning heard what Yin Yichen said, she laughed out loud.
In the attic, Song Jing was greeting Song Yan with Song Lan. "Sister, I'm sorry for disturbing you these past few days by bringing Wan Ning here. I'm going to take Wan Ning back today, and I came to say hello to you before I leave."
Song Jing said, half turning his head to look at Song Lan, "Hurry up and pay your respects to your aunt."
Seeing this, Song Lan hurriedly took two steps forward and said to Song Yan, "Lan'er greets aunt."
Song Yan looked at the tall and straight Song Lan and nodded, "This child has grown so tall now."
Song Yan said, then raised her head and looked at Song Jing, surprised, "Wan Ning's child has only been here for a few days, why do you want to take her back again?"
"Sister, you may not know, but I've found a good match for Wan Ning. I'm just waiting to go back and get engaged, so it's inconvenient for her to stay in Putuo Mountain." Song Jing's expression hadn't recovered yet, and he only sighed, "Wan Ning is being missed by others, so it would be easier for her to get engaged earlier."
"Engagement? Then who is that extremely handsome young man in the mountains these days?" Song Yan raised her eyebrows pretending to be ignorant.
Song Jing's face darkened as soon as he heard Yin Yichen. He stiffened his neck and said, "He's just a shameless court official. He said the Song family's daughter wouldn't marry him, but he still shamelessly followed me."
Song Yan chuckled softly and looked at Song Jing and said, "But I noticed that Wan Ning saw that he seemed to be in a good mood these days?"
Song Jing's face darkened. "That child is still young and inexperienced. I'm afraid he has been deceived by the Prime Minister."
"Brother, brother, when will you change your old-fashioned temper?" Song Yan took a sip of tea and glanced at Song Jing. "After all these years, brother, you still don't know how to adapt. I think the Prime Minister is a good person. He has done nothing wrong recently. He is a good match for Wan Ning."
"Sister, how could you possibly know the twists and turns of the capital?" Song Jing looked at Song Yan and said helplessly, "The Prime Minister's family background is complicated. Wan Ning can't handle it."
"How do you know she can't?" Song Yan was immediately displeased when she heard Song Jing say this. She said coldly, "That child is a good one. I think she can take care of everything. Only my brother still treats Wan Ning like a child. Now that you are making plans for her like this, have you ever asked her what she really wants?"
