Lu Yanjing slept from half past midnight to the end of Shen hour, and it was almost dark.

"Yan Jing is awake. You must be hungry. The food is warm in the pot. Quickly get some water to wash your face and wake up before eating."

Mrs. Li had been paying attention to what was going on in Lu Yanjing's house, and came over immediately when she heard the sound of the door opening.

"Grandma, it's okay. Let's eat together later."

Lu Yanjing yawned slightly and looked up at the darkening sky.

"It's okay, you haven't eaten anything all day." Li frowned and glanced at Lu Yanjin disapprovingly.

"Okay, go wash your face quickly, and I'll ask your grandfather and your mother to come out for dinner."

Anyway, usually at this time, they would be having dinner soon.

"Ok."

Lu Yanjin nodded, took the wooden basin and went to the kitchen to get hot water to wash his face.

At the dinner table, Lu Yanjin told Tang Mian and the others some things related to the capital while eating.

"Lou Wenbin will be transferred back to the capital after the new year. My aunt and sister will be able to see each other more often."

Hearing this, Tang Mian was happy for Zhuang Jing, "Sister, Jing has a good daughter. It is best if she can stay in the same place."

"Yes." Lu Yanjin raised the corners of his lips and nodded, "If nothing else happens, my uncle will return to the capital after the new year."

"Isn't that just right? The family is reunited." Mrs. Li continued with a smile.

Lu Zheng also nodded secretly.

Lu Yanjin smiled, "That's true."

"However, the official positions in the capital are like carrots and pitfalls. When my uncle returns to the capital, someone must leave. There are still things in between that need to be managed."

Tang Mian thought for a moment and said, "Your uncle has been preparing for the return to the capital for a long time. There should be no problem."

Lu Yanjin nodded, "My brother and I think so too. After all, my uncle has managed a lot of connections over the years." "Sister Kuang, I have never seen my aunt in a hurry."

Tang Mian hummed, thought for a while and asked, "Where's the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

The relationship between her sister and the Prime Minister's Mansion is delicate. She doesn't mention it in the daily correspondence, and it's hard for her to ask too many questions.

It’s just that I can’t help but worry.

Lu Yanjin knew what Tang Mian wanted to ask, so she chuckled and said, "The Prime Minister's wife came to the door twice, but my aunt was not very polite. The Prime Minister's wife was angry and left."

Tang Mian raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.

Lu Yanjin continued: "The Prime Minister's wife was so angry that she probably blew the pillow wind when she went home. It didn't take long for the Prime Minister to try to trip up my uncle. However, his hidden trick was dismantled. After all, my uncle is not alone now. Fighting alone is not powerless.”

"That's good." Tang Mian felt relieved.

Lu Yanjin comforted her: "Mom, you don't have to worry. My uncle and aunt can handle these things. Yan Xiu and I will also watch and help if anything happens."

"Moreover, the secret chess the Prime Minister placed next to my uncle has been revealed and is now useless."

"Huh?" Tang Mian was stunned for a moment, "Cheng Wentai?"

"Yes." Lu Yanjin nodded, "Cheng Wentai was chosen by the Prime Minister to know what my uncle is doing secretly."

The prime minister always believed that if his uncle hadn't interfered, his aunt would have married into a more advantageous husband's family.

As everyone knows, everything is done voluntarily by the aunt.

Moreover, my aunt has been resenting the Prime Minister's Mansion in her heart over the years, and has been waiting for the opportunity to take revenge and return.

After hearing this, Tang Mian's thoughts wandered a little.

Thinking about it, after the death of his sister in his previous life, his brother-in-law must have done something to take revenge on the Prime Minister's Mansion for his sister. In the end, he was betrayed by Cheng Wentai and ended up disastrous. (End of chapter)
