Chapter 182 This guy really took over
Early the next morning, a sharp scream came from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"what!"

Prime Minister Jiang Cheng had just returned from the court when he heard such a loud noise across the courtyard. Hearing that the noise was coming from the courtyard of his favorite daughter-in-law, he immediately ran in without stopping.

When he opened the door and took a look, Jiang Wan'er was covering her body with a quilt, while Xiao Yiran was kneeling on the ground, begging Jiang Cheng for mercy with a pale face.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, it was an unintentional mistake on my part. I really admire the young lady so much that I did such a ridiculous thing. Please, Prime Minister, please do not blame the young lady!"

Jiang Wan'er hid in the quilt and sobbed, with a blush on her face. Jiang Cheng knew Xiao Yiran, and he suddenly became furious: "Well, Xiao Yiran, the Xiao family has just been acquitted, and you did this evil to my daughter. I will kill you!"

With that said, Jiang Cheng drew the sword of the guard next to him and stabbed Xiao Yiran without any explanation.At the critical moment, Jiang Wan'er climbed out of bed, threw herself in front of Xiao Yiran, and cried: "Father, the dead end is over. If you want to kill him, kill your daughter too!"

Jiang Cheng threw away the sword in anger. This was his favorite daughter. She was the only girl in the entire Jiang family. The others were all boys. She was loved by thousands of people. How could he be willing to kill his own daughter!
"You, you bastard!" Jiang Cheng was so angry that he could only point at Xiao Yiran and curse.

Xiao Yiran's eyes flashed with a smile of success, but he quickly concealed it, his face changed, and he immediately became affectionate.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I will definitely be responsible for Wan'er. I will identify with Wan'er in this life!"

"Hmph! Your Xiao family has just returned to Beijing. You probably don't even have the money to buy clothes. What are you going to use to marry my Wan'er!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yiran lowered his head, clenched his fists in his sleeves: "I, I will work hard..."

"That's all." Jiang Cheng held his head with a splitting headache: "Originally, the emperor was afraid of Xiao Qishu's great achievements. I heard that you and Xiao Qishu are not on good terms?"

Xiao Yiran seemed to have caught a chance and nodded quickly: "Xiao Qishu intends to rebel. He and I are really at odds. What's more, my third aunt is arrogant and domineering and doesn't take us seriously at all. I..."

"I know." Jiang Cheng interrupted him: "Tomorrow I will go to the palace and propose to His Majesty that you be the clerk of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although the official position is lower, the Minister of Civil Affairs is about to retire and return to his hometown. You should immediately You can take his place, and in this way, you will be worthy of my Wan'er."

"So, thank you father-in-law!"

Xiao Yiran's smile could no longer be concealed and overflowed from the corners of his mouth. He hugged Jiang Wan'er's body, his heart surging.

He knew that this method would work. Xiao Qishu had just resumed his official position, and he would soon rise to prominence!
Jiang Cheng was afraid that Jiang Wan'er would be wronged, so he sent many gifts of gold and silver to the Xiao Mansion. This meant that Xiao Yiran should take these gifts, so as not to insult the Prime Minister's family status.

When Tang Yulian saw the gold, silver and jewelry all over the yard, she was so excited that she couldn't move her eyes away: "Son, are you really going to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace soon?"

Xiao Yiran sat confidently on the chair and raised his chin: "That's natural. These are the betrothal gifts given by the Prime Minister. Mother, you will find a matchmaker to marry me tomorrow!"

Tang Yulian was overjoyed, thinking that the quilt would be trampled under by Sanfang, but unexpectedly, her son would also marry the prime minister's daughter!

"My son is really powerful, much more powerful than that despicable Xiao Qishu!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Xiao Yiran, what tricks did you use to get the prime minister's daughter to marry you?"

As soon as Song Qingyou got up, he saw so many boxes of gold and silver jewelry placed in the front hall, which was a lot to look at.

Xiao Yiran was furious, his face was extremely ugly, and he flicked his sleeves: "What are you talking about? Wan'er and I are a match made in heaven. We are in love with each other. Don't look at me with that dirty look!" Song Qingyou sneered: "You just said When you return to Beijing, you can ask the Prime Minister's daughter to marry you. Doesn't it show that you have wasted a lot of effort?"

Either she had slandered the girl's innocence, or she had taken advantage of the prime minister, but she felt that the former had greater hope.

Xiao Yiran was poked into his thoughts and his eyes twinkled with guilt. Tang Yulian would not allow her son to be bullied. With the support of the Prime Minister's Palace, she became much bolder.

"Song Qingyou, what are you talking about there? Are you jealous when you see my son's ability? Let me tell you, I am your sister-in-law. Today I will teach you how to stand. Kneel down!"

"Who do you want to kneel down?"

Xiao Qishu had just gone to court and heard Tang Yulian's loud voice when he stepped in from the door. His face was gloomy and his sharp eyes were staring at Tang Yulian.

Those eyes were like ice blades in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, and she was so cold that she dared not look directly: "It's not your wife, my son is going to marry the lady of the prime minister's mansion, and she is still taunting her here, it's something an aunt can do ?"

Xiao Qishu kicked the box on the ground, his face darkening: "Xiao Yiran, if you want to die, I won't stop you."

After saying that, Xiao Qishu took Song Qingyou's hand and said gently: "Madam, shall we go out for breakfast?"

"Okay."

Song Qingyou agreed with a flowery smile, and the two held hands and walked out of the gate of Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Yiran looked at their retreating figures, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "Xiao Qishu, just wait, you will die ugly soon!"

Xiao Qishu took Song Qingyou to the street to eat Chaos, and the two of them wandered on the street, going to a teahouse and a tavern for a while. They were in love with each other and were very happy.

In the palace, the emperor heard the spies' report and looked in disbelief: "How is it possible that they have been wandering around the capital these days?"

The spy nodded and bowed: "Yes, the officials in the capital who were close friends with Xiao Qishu have basically never met anyone above the fourth rank. Maybe we are really overthinking and he doesn't know anything."

"Impossible!" The emperor was suspicious by nature and did not believe Xiao Qishu so easily: "If you keep an eye on him again, you must keep an eye on me."

"Yes!"

The spy left, and a beautiful woman with a graceful figure walked out of the cabinet. Concubine Jiang's weak and boneless body lay on the old emperor, and she asked delicately: "Your Majesty, you have a headache because of Xiao Qishu's matter?"

A trace of ridicule flashed in the old emperor's eyes, he pinched Concubine Jiang's chin and said viciously: "Concubine, I have adopted the eighth prince to you. You should know what to do now, right?"

The hatred on Concubine Jiang's face grew stronger, and she gritted her teeth: "Your Majesty, I know what to do!"

Song Qingyou and Xiao Qishu have been wandering around the capital these days and have not contacted any spies outside the city because they know that the emperor is looking for someone to monitor him.

"Where do you think the military talisman will be?" Song Qingyou has traveled to all the places he can think of these days, and has also made insinuations with the people he has come into contact with, but still has gained nothing.
