"Is this true?"

Prime Minister Yun was lying on the couch, looking down at the housekeeper beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Did Xie Li really have a fight with Xie Wanzhou?"

"Master, this is absolutely true!" The butler said in a low voice with a smile on his face, "This news was tricked out of their house by spending money from their house!"

"The servants of the Lian family said that Xie Li came to the house looking for himself. The two brothers and sisters had a big fight and smashed everything they could. The young master of the Lian family went to persuade his uncle, but he was scolded. It was really embarrassing. .”

"When I heard that... Mr. Lian loved his wife so much, he immediately turned against her and almost made a fuss in front of his mother-in-law."

Prime Minister Yun became interested and straightened up with a smile on his face, "Did you ask why they quarreled?"

The housekeeper thought for a while and whispered, "The two servants only said that Xie Wanzhou made a mistake, and Xie Li scolded her for trusting outsiders and turning her elbows outward..."

"Believe in outsiders?" Prime Minister Yun narrowed his eyes, looking a little strange, "Is it possible that her brother knew about Xie Wanzhou's gift to me?"

After thinking about it carefully, Prime Minister Yun still felt strange and murmured, "But the Yongcheng Hou Mansion is now gaining momentum, why would Xie Wanzhou give me gifts for no reason?"

"This old servant has learned something," the steward said with a mysterious face and a lowered voice, "Before Xie Wanzhou gave you a gift, I was summoned into the palace by the Queen and stayed there for a long time before coming out."

"Qing'er?" Prime Minister Yun pinched his goatee, thinking vaguely in his mind, "Could it be that Qing'er won her over and asked her to be used by me?"

The housekeeper nodded and carefully analyzed for his master, "It's not impossible. Maybe Xie Wanzhou is afraid, so he wants to please the master in order to protect himself wisely."

"To please me, you only brought out a luminous pearl?" Prime Minister Yun sneered, with a sarcastic expression, "I don't like the people in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, but she took the initiative to send it to my door, so I might as well make good use of it."

"Yes, the master is wise."

Prime Minister Yun thought for a moment, took out a roster from under the pillow, handed it to the butler, and said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow evening, I will hold a spring appreciation banquet on the cruise ship on Qinxin Lake. You go and draft some posts. Secret Send it to these homes, remember not to forget Xie Wanzhou."

The housekeeper was stunned and reminded in a low voice, "Master, it's a national mourning now, so we still need to avoid the limelight."

Prime Minister Yun glanced at him, and his tone became colder, "I know what's going on, just do it."

"...Yes." Seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, the housekeeper could only nod and retreat.

Prime Minister Yun leaned on the soft pillow, looking at the smoke rising from the furnace, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

The next day, at dusk, it began to rain.

The water of Qinxin Lake is crystal clear, the drizzle is falling, the water is rippling, willows are hanging on the shore, and the trees are fragrant, which makes people have no time to care about the rain, and they feel much better.

There is a boat parked next to the lake, with no one behind it. The boat's hull is exquisitely carved, about ten feet long, and can accommodate no more than a hundred people.

Xie Wanzhou held an umbrella alone and walked to the lake. He took out the post from his sleeve and handed it to the boat guard.

The shipkeeper took the post, looked at her carefully, and then stepped aside to get out of the way.

Xie Wanzhou held a paper umbrella, and Zhu Tao behind her was also carrying a food box, following her step by step.

After stepping on the ship's plank with both feet, Xie Wanzhou turned around, looked not far away, met someone's eyes, turned around as if nothing had happened, and entered the ship.

There were many people sitting inside. When they saw Xie Wanzhou coming in, they all looked at her and looked her up and down.

Xie Wanzhousheng is good-looking, with pink cheeks, bright eyes and white teeth. He is dressed in brocade clothes, but his clothes are plain. Prime Minister Yun was sitting at the top. When he saw her coming, he had a smile on his face and said loudly, "Mrs. Xie is here. Please sit down quickly."

Xie Wanzhou responded with a smile and glanced across the boat, only to see that there was no space left except for a soft cushion under Prime Minister Yun's head.

Seeing this scene, the smile on Xie Wanzhou's lips deepened, and he walked over calmly in front of everyone and took a seat.

When everyone saw that she had received such an honor, they were naturally unhappy.

Most of the officials here were of higher rank than her. Xie Wanzhou was just a sinecure, so why was he sitting next to the Prime Minister?

Prime Minister Yun held the wine cup, raised his hand to everyone, and said in a loud voice, "Today's Spring Banquet, you all can do as you please."

All the officials hurriedly raised their glasses and greeted him with flattering smiles on their faces.

Xie Wanzhou also pretended to raise his glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

When no one was paying attention to him, he quietly spit the wine in his mouth onto the veil.

"Mrs. Xie is a female prostitute, are you still used to it in the court?" Prime Minister Yun suddenly said, looking sideways at Xie Wanzhou, his tone was kind, but there was no smile in his eyes, "If you encounter something difficult to solve, you can work together I’ll let you know.”

Xie Wanzhou sighed softly and smiled helplessly, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern. I am just a casual official and I have a lot of leisure. Why do I have to deal with such difficult things?"

"That's right." Prime Minister Yun smiled and shook his head, pretending to sigh, "Your sister-in-law is in the court and is a first-class general with a high position of authority. Compared with her, you are really nothing. "

The smile on Xie Wanzhou's face disappeared, she bit her lower lip tightly and stirred her fingertips, looking unwilling to do so.

Prime Minister Yun looked at her and suddenly smiled, "Even if you can't climb up, Madam Xie, there is no need to belittle yourself. You are outstanding in talent and beauty, but your pearl is dusty, just because you are not with the right person."

After saying that, Prime Minister Yun sighed again, with a look of regret on his face, "Now that Shen Ji is the supervisor, he even mentions you as your brother, but why doesn't he take care of you?"

Xie Wanzhou lowered his head, unable to conceal his disappointment.

"If I could make the decision, I wouldn't let you suffer any injustice."

Prime Minister Yun's voice came from one side. Xie Wanzhou's eyes flashed, and she slowly raised her head, looking at him with eyes full of hope, "Prime Minister...are you serious?"

"Of course." There was a slight smile on Prime Minister Yun's lips. He still looked honest and honest, but his words contained a hidden edge, "As long as I can afford this master."

Xie Wanzhou was silent for a moment, and seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at him steadily and said in a sincere tone, "As long as the Prime Minister can do what he says, I am naturally willing to follow him."

The fish is hooked.

Prime Minister Yun suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and said inadvertently, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to just rely on Madam Xie."

Xie Wanzhou looked flustered, as if she was afraid that he would give up on her, so she immediately spoke up to fight for herself, "Prime Minister, I know that I am not capable enough to be of much help, but... what if the entire Lian family is also involved?"

"Oh?" Prime Minister Yun raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised, "Ms. Xie's words are quite interesting. Could it be that...you can still make decisions for the Lian family?" (End of Chapter)
