Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

Chapter 106 Wen Mansion Ancestral Hall

"Congratulations, Your Excellency. The young lady is truly amazing. The governor just told us to give the 100 taels of gold as a reward to the people in An Ning County Lady's courtyard for safekeeping. Please also keep this imperial edict!" The eunuch who announced the edict waved his hand and asked someone to take the gift to the courtyard where the wine was being warmed.

"Eunuch, come in and have some tea," he gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper stuffed a big purse into the eunuch's pocket. The eunuch smiled and said he would go back to the palace to report, and then he left. But before leaving, the eunuch said that the Prime Minister should handle the recent affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion properly and not be too partial. After all, the county lady is in the limelight now. Prime Minister Wen thanked him repeatedly, sent him away, and his face became gloomy.

"Hurry up and find out the truth about this matter for me. If it is really the fault of the Xue family, report it to me directly. In addition, uproot all the spies of the Xue family in the mansion. Clean them up thoroughly. Be careful not to let her know." Wen Cheng said to the housekeeper. His newly adopted daughter is really good. She brings honor to him. Although she is not raised by his side, she still earns face for him. This is the first daughter in the capital. Even his daughter who is raised by his side cannot compare to her. Instead, she always makes him lose face.

"Yes,"

The good news Wen Xi heard today was that Wen Jiu was named the Princess of An Ning County. He was so happy that if Qing Liu hadn't reminded him, he would have wanted to get drunk in broad daylight to show his happiness.

Wen Jiu was named Princess of An Ning County. As soon as the news came out, some people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were happy and some were worried. The one who was happy was Wen Xi, but the one who was worried...

There was a sound of shattering porcelain, accompanied by curses, "Bitch, on what basis? On what basis was she named Princess An Ning? She was already one level higher than me, but now she is stepping on me. Mother, please think of a solution. Don't you always say there is a solution? You always say this, but when has it ever been done? I'm going to marry into the Fifth Prince's mansion soon, and with her status... Ah ah ah ah..." Wen Ziqi was furious and cursed.

"Remember how a lady from a noble family should behave. I trained you with great difficulty. Calm down. What are you afraid of? Not to mention that she was named Princess An Ning, but it depends on whether she can come back safely. Now the war is about to break out. With her physique, humph..." Xue sneered.

"Mother is always so confident. Didn't she resolve all the problems that time?" Wen Ziqi said sarcastically.

"What are you talking about? Even if she comes back, won't her position still be lower than yours? What are you worried about?" Mrs. Xue didn't understand her daughter's worries.

Wen Ziqi felt inexplicably panicked. She always felt that the atmosphere of the whole family had changed since Wen Jiu came back. Wen Xi seemed to have changed too. She couldn't explain the feeling. They were always spreading rumors, while Wen Jiu was always the one who brought good news, always giving everyone the impression that he had earned face for the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was afraid that her father would slowly favor Wen Jiu and slowly abandon them.

"Okay, wait for your marriage with peace of mind. Your mother has lived her whole life for you and Liang'er. Control your temper and be obedient." Mrs. Xue comforted her for a while, asked someone to clean up, and left.

"Master, the second young lady was cursing and smashing a lot of good things." Qingliu came over carefully to report

"Oh, you can't stand it? I want her to rise to the top and make our Second Miss angry like this every day. Listen to me, next time you hear her insulting the First Miss and saying she poisoned me, just make her speechless. She can't die now, I still want to see how the Fifth Prince treats her." Wen Xi said with a smile

"Master, the person has been brought back and entrusted to Biluo Villa. Do we still need to ask them to go to the young lady to protect her?" Qingliu asked

"Of course, our people are going with their people. I am worried. If we are not so powerful, I would not have to hire people. After all, I have to leave some people in the capital just in case. I want to wait for her to come back and give her a clean home. Remember, if you find any unusual movements from the people in Biluo Villa, kill them directly." Wen Xi looked completely different from his usual appearance at this moment.

"Subordinates obey orders"

"Also, give our Prime Minister some information tomorrow. Doesn't he want to investigate?"

Qingliu smiled and said "I understand"

Wen Xi sat there thinking coldly: Prime Minister Wen, father, I just don't know if you can punish the vicious woman Xue for your future...

The next afternoon, the housekeeper came to report that he had found out the news.

That night, Prime Minister Wen got very angry in the study because the housekeeper said, "The General's Mansion seems to be investigating this matter as well." It was this sentence that made Prime Minister Wen completely furious. If the General's Mansion didn't know about this, he could still punish Xue lightly. Now it seems that Xue Zhan's power is better off gone. He has to keep the Prime Minister's Mansion. He doesn't know how much the General's Mansion has found out, so he can only cut the Gordian knot and quickly have someone bring Xue over.

"The Master and the Madam have arrived"

"Bring him in! Go and ask the old lady and all the young masters and young ladies in the mansion to come over."

"Yes"

"Qi'er, what happened? Why are we all gathered in the ancestral hall?" The old lady was confused. She looked at her children and grandchildren, thinking that they had done something wrong again. When she saw Xue, she frowned.

"Father, grandmother, mother." Wen Xi, Wen Ziqi, and Wen Moliang greeted and stood on one side.

"Since you are here, then listen carefully to your mother's confession!" When Prime Minister Wen said this, Wen Ziqi and Wen Moliang were shocked, and the old lady was also surprised. This Xue was very much favored by her son. What crime did she commit this time that was worth discussing in the ancestral hall?

Wen Xi smiled. He told his father that the General's Mansion was also investigating, just to force him and see how he would choose. It really lived up to his expectations! He just felt cold in his heart. He should be here soon!

"My husband, what have I done wrong to make you gather everyone in the family to see me, the mistress of the house, make a fool of myself? How can I survive in the future?" Mrs. Xue was still holding on.

"I want to ask you..." Prime Minister Wen was interrupted by the housekeeper who ran in before he could finish his words. "Master, someone is coming from the General's Mansion."

"Who?" The thing that Prime Minister Wen feared the most finally happened.

"It's the old lady, and..."

Prime Minister Wen hurried out to greet her, "Why is my mother-in-law here? Please come in quickly. I wonder if she has eaten yet. How about I ask someone to prepare dinner?"

"That's not necessary. I heard that the Prime Minister has found out about Zhuohua, so I came to see him specially." The old lady's face was expressionless, with a cold face. She looked at Prime Minister Wen without a trace of emotion and walked straight into the Wen family ancestral hall.

"Sister, why are you here?" The old lady had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly scolded Prime Minister Wen, "Qi'er, why did you bring your mother-in-law here? Hurry up and take her to the front hall and have someone prepare some good wine and food to entertain her. I will also go over to keep her company."
