Chapter 1536 Shared Wife 10
Song Jinhuan picked at her ear. "Yes, I can hear you clearly."
Prime Minister Hua trembled with rage, "You...you...you're being insolent!"
For years, no one has dared to defy him like this!
They were completely disregarding him and challenging his authority!
Compared to Prime Minister Hua, who was furious, Song Jinhuan appeared much calmer.
Having no expectations is the strongest protection you can offer yourself.
"I suppose the reason you invited me back to the manor is because of the marriage agreement between the Hua and Jiang families."
"They urgently summoned me back, let me guess why..."
The girl hooked the round stool to her side, sat down with a smile, and said, "Oh, so the Jiang family can't do without me~"
This was information that Yuan Xiu had revealed to her, so of course she had to make use of it.
Because of this reminder, Prime Minister Hua and the others gradually calmed down.
Song Jinhuan continued, "Since that's the case, let's be honest and not play the family card."
"I'm not willing to sacrifice myself for you all for nothing."
A sharp glint flashed in Prime Minister Hua's eyes as he sat down. "State your conditions. What will it take for you to agree to marry me?"
Song Jinhuan held up the first finger: "First, while you are staying at the Prime Minister's residence, do not use the pretense of teaching me the rules of high-ranking families to bully me."
The second finger popped out: "Secondly, I'm not interested in how deep the kinship between you is."
So don't use me as a foil.
The third finger is raised: "As for the third one, it depends on how much benefit the Prime Minister is willing to offer."
The first two points are formalities, but the last one requires real money to please her.
Prime Minister Hua pondered for a moment, “After you move into Yaoguang Pavilion, I will give the order that no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter.”
In a couple of days, you will also have the dowry list reviewed until you are satisfied.
“But now that you are the young lady of the Prime Minister’s residence, there will be many banquets during your stay. I hope you will not bring shame to the Prime Minister’s residence.”
Song Jinhuan nodded. "Yes."
It was rare to see her so docile, so Prime Minister Hua softened his tone and said, "Once you leave the Prime Minister's residence, no matter what you think in your heart, you still have to call your parents 'father' and 'mother' in front of outsiders."
Song Jinhuan nodded again, blinking her round eyes, looking incredibly obedient.
Inside Yaoguang Pavilion, everything had been cleaned up, leaving no trace of Hua Suxin.
Song Jinhuan checked in with his bundle, and the first thing he did was take out his brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and write a long passage in a flowing style. He then took out two taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Yuan Xiu: "Please have the Prime Minister sign it."
Yuan Xiu clenched the silver in his palm. "Miss, please feel free to use me. There's no need to give me any money."
That's too polite.
Song Jinhuan: "You are a member of the Jiang family."
Yuan Xiu was silent for a moment, then said dryly, "Thank you for your generous gift, Miss."
Not long after, a loud noise came from the Prime Minister's study, where something was thrown to the ground, along with Prime Minister Hua's cursing.
Meanwhile, Song Jin happily folded the papers again and again, stuffing them into his purse and pressing them down repeatedly.
Yuan Xiu stood to the side, a smile playing at the corners of his eyes.
Over the next few days, Song Jinhuan enjoyed a very comfortable stay in Yaoguang Pavilion.
During this time, she also figured out Hua Deyou's daily whereabouts.
Night falls, and the stars twinkle.
A figure slipped past eyes and moved furtively along the backyard wall.
She nimbly leaped onto the wall and jumped down.
Yuan Xiu followed closely behind.
Song Jinhuan waited in the alley next to the teahouse in the market.
Hua Deyou and his friends enjoyed tea and storytelling until it was late, then returned home satisfied.
As he passed the alley entrance, a black cloth fell from the sky, wrapped around his body, and kicked him into a dead end.
