Wenren Yu scoffed disdainfully, his handsome face, like a painted portrait, remaining calm and composed, the striking beauty mark at the corner of his eye even slightly raised.
"In this capital of Northern Yin, who doesn't know that my Wenren family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, and whose integrity and manners are even more noble? How could they possibly have any thoughts of rebellion?"
Upon hearing this, all the officials and ministers in the hall twitched at the corners of their mouths. If it weren't for the Prime Minister, the Wen family could indeed be considered to have high moral character and etiquette.
They could be considered loyal and virtuous for generations, after all, although the emperor was... cough, Bei Yin was still the Bei Yin of the Helian royal family, but their integrity and manners were noble...
They didn't know who the person was who openly accepted the sweet bribe, and they dared not say or ask.
"Hahaha, I've heard that the Prime Minister has a thick skin, but I didn't believe it. Today, I've truly seen it for the first time."
Wen Yi burst into laughter, his rugged, square face displaying undisguised contempt for Wenren Yu. Then…
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the hall, Wen Yi took out a long, rectangular object wrapped in a handkerchief from his wide sleeve.
The assembled officials and their families, who had been watching the spectacle with bated breath, all craned their necks to see what was wrapped in a handkerchief in Wen Yi's hand.
Wenren Yu looked at what Wen Yi was holding and a bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart. It couldn't be that, could it?
Wen Yi opened the handkerchief, and inside was clearly the invitation card that had been gnawed beyond recognition by rats.
For a moment, the people in the hall looked at each other, their faces showing confusion. Only a few...
Those who were in front of or behind Wenren Yu at the time knew the reason behind it, and they lowered their heads with strange expressions, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
When Wen Renyu, the person involved, first saw the invitation in Wen Yi's hand, his handsome face, which resembled a painted portrait, twitched violently at the corner of his mouth.
He instinctively turned around and glared fiercely at Helian You, who was sitting between the two elders of the Wen family. Little did he know that Helian You had already cleverly turned his head away.
She looked away, glancing left and right, making sure not to look at her uncle. Her fair face and bright, dark eyes gazed at the person in the high position.
Yes, the little princess looks really beautiful in this outfit today.
"The Prime Minister is truly of high moral character and manners. The Imperial Concubine sent an invitation to the Prime Minister's residence, yet the Prime Minister allowed a rat to defile it in such a way. He is truly of high moral character and manners!"
Wen Yi emphasized the last two words, "noble," as if recalling his entry into the palace gates.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the invitation card that the attendant had carelessly placed aside. After questioning it, he learned that it was the work of Wenren Yu, which only added fuel to the fire in his already irritated heart.
This fellow impeached me before the Emperor a few days ago, causing me to lose several advisors.
And now he's letting that rat ruin his daughter's birthday banquet invitation? What does that mean? Does he not respect him at all?!
He had intended to take this invitation to the Emperor and demand an explanation, but who knew that Wenren Yu would barge in like this?
Perfect! Today, he will show all the officials just how noble Wenren Yu's manners are!
Helian Mousi, who was sitting on a high, gilded dragon throne, eating grapes and watching the show, now had his grape-like, watery eyes fixed on the unrecognizable invitation.
The little girl, so tiny, had her mouth slightly open in an "O" shape, and her short, delicate hand, holding the grape, secretly raised her chubby thumb:
Beautiful, handsome man, I respect you as a werewolf.
