Wu Junrou and Madam Xu discussed the result, and Madam Xu used her connections to enter the palace.
Princess Xiangyu had always hated Song Wanning to the core. If the current emperor hadn't stopped her and warned her, she would have killed her long ago. Last time, she had her trusted daughter plot against Yin Yichen, but Yin Yichen had actually managed to outmaneuver her.
Now, many of her closest confidants had betrayed her, probably because they were frightened by Yin Yichen's previous plan. She didn't dare to act rashly anymore and could only wait for the next opportunity.
As a powerful official, Yin Yichen was extremely resourceful. However, this made Princess Xiangyu even more unwilling.
If it weren't for Song Wanning, she would still have the chance to marry Yin Yichen, but now she has no choice. After all, Song Wanning has already taken the position of Prime Minister's wife.
When Madam Xu met Princess Xiangyu, she immediately told her about Wu Junrou's experience.
Princess Xiangyu had previously frequently summoned Wu Junrou to the palace to chat in hopes of marrying Yin Yichen, hoping to use her as a connection to the Prime Minister's residence. Unfortunately, all her attempts had failed, and now she found herself bored in the palace alone.
Madam Xu knew Princess Xiangyu's temperament and immediately spoke out, "Princess, you don't know how scheming and cunning Song Wanning is. To prevent the Prime Minister from taking a concubine, she even did something as shameful as inserting a concubine into her uncle's room. Princess, you must find a way to discipline her. Otherwise, I'm afraid she will become even more rampant and lawless."
Princess Xiangyu heard what Madam Xu said and sighed helplessly, "What can I do? She is now the Prime Minister's treasure. I can't say anything or scold her. If anyone says anything or scolds her, I'm afraid the Prime Minister will rush into the palace to show me how powerful she is."
When Madam Xu heard Princess Xiangyu say this, she sighed and said, "Your Highness, if you can't find a way to discipline Song Wanning, I'm afraid she'll become even more lawless. The entire power of the capital will fall into her hands. I heard people say that she was making a big fuss at the Prime Minister's residence, saying that marrying a second time to a man as outstanding as the Prime Minister is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even the princess can't get married if she wants to."
Princess Xiangyu couldn't hold back after hearing this and immediately said in displeasure, "Did she really say that? How could such an arrogant person exist in this world? Why would the Prime Minister like someone like this drunkard, who only has appearances but no substance? What's the point of him liking anyone else?"
"Who says it isn't?" Madam Xu sighed. "Your Highness, please think of a way. You can't let her do this anymore."
Princess Xiangyu heard this and said in a deep voice, "You go back and wait. I will hold a banquet in the palace in a while and invite all the ladies from various mansions. I will definitely ask Song Wanning to come to the palace so that I can have a good time with her. I don't believe that Yin Yichen can protect her all the time."
When Madam Xu heard Princess Xiangyu say this, she immediately smiled and said to Princess Xiangyu, "That's great. I will go home first and wait for good news from the princess."
Mrs. Xu was naturally very proud of herself now that she had successfully instigated the princess. After leaving the palace, she went to talk to Wu Junrou in detail before returning to her own residence.
The general's mansion is also very busy nowadays.
Song Lan's wedding day was approaching, and because he was too busy, he asked Song Wanning to come back and take care of it twice.
Guan Surong originally wanted to marry in the general's mansion and be carried to the Yan family to marry Yan Yuzhi in a grand ceremony, but Song Jing refused to listen no matter how much Mrs. Guan cried and pleaded, insisting that Guan Surong move into the mansion.
Things had come to this point, and Guan Surong had no choice but to wait to be married in Guan Wenyan and Song Wanshi's house.
Mrs. Guan was now furious. She looked at Guan Surong and sighed, "At first, I thought Yan Yuzhi was a good person, but who would have thought he was so unreliable? Seeing that our family has no power, he wanted to marry another wife and only wanted to take you as a concubine. I guess mother had overlooked this. There was actually such a thing."
"Don't worry, mother. Even if my daughter becomes a concubine after marriage, she can still live a decent life on her own." Guan Surong was now extremely confident in herself. "Even if Yan Yuzhi has concubines, I'm sure none of them are as considerate and understanding as my daughter, and she's from a legitimate official family. When my daughter marries him, as long as she holds Yan Yuzhi's heart firmly, she won't have to worry about a bad life. When a lady comes into the family in the future, my daughter is also capable and won't be afraid of being defeated by her."
When Madam Guan heard Guan Surong say this, her worries finally subsided a little. She looked at Guan Surong and said calmly, "Since Sister Rong has confidence, then mother has confidence too."
The two of them discussed it, and a few days later Yan Yuzhi's sedan chair came to pick up the bride.
Guan Surong dressed neatly, then followed the nanny outside out the door and got into the carriage.
Mrs. Guan sent her daughter onto the carriage, crying and reluctant to let her go, and she put on quite a good show. But now, even Yan Yuzhi's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Guan Surong was still somewhat happy in her heart. After all, Yan Yuzhi was the husband she chose herself, and she would live a good life with this man for the rest of her life.
She was a beautiful girl, a look that was always popular among the men in the capital. She would definitely be able to hold Yan Yuzhi firmly, and step by step become the mistress of the Yan family and control the Yan family's wealth.
What Guan Surong didn't expect was that she waited for Yan Yuzhi in her yard for several hours but didn't see him show up.
Guan Surong was a little surprised and asked the little maid beside her, "Where is the second master at home? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"
"Auntie, please go to bed early." Seeing this, the little maid beside her hurriedly replied, "A high-ranking official has just arrived in the capital. He is very pleased with our Second Master and wants to marry his daughter to him. The Second Master left early this morning. If the official is willing, I'm afraid our Yan family will have a mistress before long."
Guan Surong felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, and she forced a smile on her face. "The daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital, I think she's a good match for Second Master."
"That's right. Our Second Master is a handsome man, so it's no surprise that he's favored. If he can marry a daughter of an official like this, his status in the capital will be even higher in the future." The little maid continued to persuade Guan Surong, "Auntie, don't wait any longer, just go to bed early. Right now, the entire Yan Mansion and the dozen or so concubines are waiting day after day, but the Second Master hasn't come a single day. If the Second Master is happy, he'll go to anyone, but if he's unhappy, he rarely comes back."
Guan Surong was a little dazed when she heard this.
