Yang Yurong had no choice but to step forward and say, "I accidentally wandered into this place and offended this young master. I am truly sorry. However, I have indeed fallen for this young master at first sight, which is why I couldn't help myself..."
Wei Wangqing, sitting opposite, couldn't bear to look at her. This Miss Yang really knew how to stir up trouble. Look, she's even made An Shinu tremble with anger.
Nan Xiangyue was even angrier. What kind of talk was that?
Nan Xiangrong couldn't help but lower her head. Her reputation was completely ruined this time. Who would marry her now? Thinking this, she couldn't help but look up at Wei Wangqing across from her.
An Shi Nu, unable to bear it any longer, said, "I will definitely report this matter to my mother, and then the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Prince An's Mansion will negotiate!" This is going to be war!
After saying that, he pulled Nan Xiangrong away angrily.
The Prime Minister was also furious and said directly to everyone present, "I have not been hospitable enough. I have matters to attend to at my residence, so I will not keep you any longer."
Everyone present then wisely left.
The second young lady approached at some point and advised the Prime Minister, "Mother, I'm sure Fifth Sister didn't mean it. After all, love arises without warning and deepens over time!"
"Love arises without knowing its origin and deepens without end?" The Prime Minister laughed angrily. "Tell me, if this is the first time you've met the Princess, how did you know her name? 'Clouds resemble her clothes, flowers resemble her face,' don't tell me this is just a coincidence?"
Yang Yurong was in a difficult position, as this was all completely unexpected. Logically, the two should have developed feelings for each other, leading to a beautiful marriage and a wonderful story. How did it turn out this way?
The only fault is that Yang Yurong, since transmigrating, has been focused on fighting her stepfather and elder sister, acquiring various businesses, and becoming wealthy. She hasn't bothered to understand the system of this world. Also, as the daughter of a court official, she naturally doesn't understand the royal family and the political landscape as well as Wei Wangqing. However, Wei Wangqing only vaguely guessed that Prince An had connections with the Southern Dynasty, so how could Prince An raise his son like an ordinary woman, confined to the inner quarters?
So Yang Yurong made a mistake from the start! She chose the wrong person.
However, if Nan Xiangrong hadn't been even slightly attracted to Wei Wangqing, she might have succeeded; who knows?
"Well... I had indeed heard of the Lady's great name before, but I had never had the chance to meet her. It was only upon seeing her this time that I..."
"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. I'm very disappointed in you. I thought you'd improved these days, but I never expected you to be so obsessed with men." The Prime Minister didn't want to hear her explanations anymore. Did she really think he didn't know about Hua Manlou's affair? He thought it was just youthful flirtation and didn't intend to interfere, but he never expected her to be so inconsiderate and disregard the occasion. The other party was the son of Prince An; how could he be treated like a prostitute in a brothel? Moreover, she openly flirted with men at his birthday banquet today; who knows what even more outrageous things she might do next time.
No, the Prime Minister immediately realized he couldn't let a concubine's daughter hold him back. "From today onwards, you are confined to your residence. For the next three months, you must reflect on your actions." This meant he'd completely missed the arrival of the Southern Dynasty!
“Mother, this…” Yang Yurong still wanted to try to persuade her.
"Hmm?" The Prime Minister's voice was authoritative without his anger. "You think you haven't embarrassed me enough? If Prince An wants to see you, you'll have to go and apologize to him, but I doubt his whole family wants to see you again."
Having said that, he snorted coldly and turned away.
The second young lady, Yang Yuying, who remained behind, couldn't help but say, "I thought Fifth Sister was so capable, but I didn't expect her to dig her own grave so quickly! Do you think Nan Xiangrong would be unmarried? Even if he's ugly, as long as he's still Prince An's son, countless people will flock to him. But why is Nan Xiangrong still unmarried? Because no one wants him! Haha! You, a mere concubine's daughter, think you can climb the social ladder of Prince An's mansion? Hahaha, you're overestimating yourself!"
Yang Yurong clenched her fists tightly: "If I can't, does that mean my second sister can?"
"At least I never thought of that!" Yang Yuying said smugly, finally seeing Yang Yurong's defeated expression.
"Instead of causing trouble for me, Second Sister, why don't you go and see what's wrong with Father?" Yang Yurong sneered.
"What did you do now?" Yang Yuying glared at her.
"Second sister, you'd better go and take a look!"
Yang Yuying had no choice but to leave in a hurry.
Yang Yurong clenched her fist and said angrily: "You dogs look down on people, I will make you all regret it!"
Meanwhile, Chen Zhiyan sat in the sedan chair deep in thought. After the banquet, he was basically certain that he could indeed hear the Sixth Princess's inner thoughts, and only she could hear them; no one else could.
What could be the reason? I've never shown this special ability before!
It is estimated that the source still lies with this sixth princess.
"Sesame."
"Young Master?"
"Have someone investigate the Sixth Princess for me. Find out everything about her, without missing anything."
"Yes." Why is the young master investigating the Sixth Princess so thoroughly? Surely he's not falling for her! Turning her head and seeing the young master's icy expression, Sesame immediately realized she was overthinking things.
After returning to his residence, Wei Wangqing did think about what had happened that day. Yang Yurong was indeed beyond his expectations. He had thought she was here to conquer the world and establish great achievements, but he didn't expect her to be here to pick up men? But that's not wrong. He didn't expect her to know how to enjoy herself. She came to a matriarchal society to have all the handsome men in the world.
Wei Wangqing herself didn't have that kind of heart. Whether in the past or now, she didn't even have a boyfriend by her side, yet she was surrounded by women on both sides! Wei Wangqing felt like she was trying to reach for the heavens!
However, Wei Wangqing thought Nan Xiangrong was a decent person, and it would be good if Yang Yurong could treat him wholeheartedly. Having three husbands and four concubines would be a waste of his time. To be honest, Wei Wangqing felt that Nan Xiangrong was more suited to the Southern Dynasty, to be a great general conquering battlefields; it was a real pity she was stuck in this matriarchal dynasty.
But these were ultimately other people's business, and Wei Wangqing only sighed before stopping thinking about them.
However, because of this incident, Wei Wangqing felt that being well-informed was indeed very important! I must learn from the lessons of those who came before me, and I cannot end up like Yang Yurong.
Yang Yurong: Have I become a negative example? *crying*
Therefore, Wei Wangqing summoned Li Nuo.
"How's the manpower search going?" Wei Wangqing asked.
"My subordinates selected several women from the manor, bought a few promising young women from human traffickers, and the steward also transferred a few children from the clan and from relatives and friends. Training has already begun."
"Hmm, not bad. I don't limit myself to men or women when hiring. Anyone with ability is welcome. But when you're choosing people in the future, it would be best if they were orphans or people without any ties. If they have families, just bring their families under my jurisdiction."
"Understood."
"Hmm, very good. See if you can find any channels to establish sources of information. I always have to hear rumors from other people." Wei Wangqing couldn't help but complain.
"This..." Li Nuo was somewhat embarrassed. His martial arts skills were fine, they were all things he was good at. But he really had no experience in creating insider information!
