Chapter 191 Compromise
"Really?" Wu Junrou narrowed her eyes and smiled, not believing what Yuan Xian said. "The Prime Minister is a well-known elegant gentleman in the capital. You don't like the Prime Minister, but you like the master who is over 40 years old at home? If you say there is no one behind you, I will definitely not believe it. Tell me, was it Song Wanning who asked you to seduce the master? What benefits did she give you?"
Tears fell from Yuan Xian's eyes. She looked at Wu Junrou and said, "Madam, I have been taught by the master recently, so I can learn these poems and songs. The master is a friendly person and treats Yuan Xian well, so Yuan Xian is moved. Yuan Xian knows that he has committed a serious sin, and please punish him, Madam."
"Now that you've made me lose face so much, do you think I will take you into my house? Dream on." Wu Junrou was very angry now and refused to take a concubine no matter what.
Soon, Master Yin came out of the house. He looked at Wu Junrou and coughed, "Junrou, you are holding Yuan Xian's collar like this. How can you look like a housekeeper?"
Seeing Master Yin, Wu Junrou was even more furious. She sneered at Master Yin and said, "This Yuanxian was originally chosen by the Prime Minister, but now you have slept with her, and you were caught sleeping at this time. Master, don't you feel ashamed?"
Master Yin's face flushed with anger when he heard this, and he said coldly, "I am the master of the family, so what if I take a concubine? If Madam thinks that the Prime Minister should take a concubine, then Madam can just choose another one for the Prime Minister. Anyway, Yin Yichen doesn't like these women."
Wu Junrou felt uncomfortable when she thought that the concubine she used to disgust Song Wanning had now become the one to disgust her.
Now Master Yin's taking a concubine was a small matter, but now that this matter had gone wrong, she had made it known to everyone, just to make it difficult for Song Wanning to refuse. If Song Wanning refused, she would be a jealous woman.
But now, even though Song Wanning failed to achieve her goal of disgusting others, I am afraid that her reputation will also be damaged.
This matter resulted in both loss of both the wife and the army.
Wu Junrou glared at Yuan Xian fiercely, then raised her head to look at Master Yin, and said with hatred, "Now that things have come to this, you have no choice but to take a concubine. But in the future, don't blame me for being rude."
Master Yin knew he was in the wrong, but he still stepped forward and picked up Yuan Xian, who was lying on the ground, and held her in his arms. "Wu Junrou, I have been so tolerant of you over the years, but you have become like this now. I am the one who makes the decision in this family. I can marry anyone I want to marry into the mansion, and you don't need to interfere. Don't meddle in my affairs in the future, or I will divorce you."
"You..." Wu Junrou was extremely angry. She glanced down and saw the weak Yuan Xian lying in Master Yin's arms, like a little bird.
This scene really hurt Wu Junrou's eyes. She was afraid that she was shooting herself in the foot.
Even so, Wu Junrou had no choice but to grit her teeth and swallow the bitter fruit, then turned around and left angrily.
What Wu Junrou didn't expect was that the news of taking a concubine soon spread throughout the capital, and the ladies in the entire capital soon began to talk about the inappropriate things Wu Junrou did.
Wu Junrou felt upset. She didn't expect that these ladies would not be as active in sending her invitations as before.
The mother beside her knew Wu Junrou's temper, so she just looked at Wu Junrou and said, "Madam, your friend Madam Xu has sent an invitation to our mansion, and she is coming today. You can have a private conversation with Madam Xu and let others know about your grievances."
Wu Junrou sighed and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep. "I really didn't expect that this matter would end up like this. After all, Song Wanning has been married once and she is familiar with the methods used in the mansion. If I act so rashly in the future, I'm afraid I will fall into her trap again."
When my mother heard Wu Junrou say this, she immediately comforted her, "She is just a young girl, how can she compare with you, Madam. If you are unhappy about this, Madam, just take it as a lesson and be more careful in the future."
Wu Junrou's expression did not improve when she heard this. She only sighed and said, "I can't relax now as I want. Not to mention Song Wanning, Yuan Xian, who we want to marry into our mansion, is also a rival."
"She's just a concubine, why should Madam worry?"
"Although she is a concubine, she is the legitimate daughter of an official family, so she must be a noble concubine." Wu Junrou said slowly with a gloomy face, "Besides, she has only known the master for a few days, but the master can protect her so much. It can be seen that she is a capable woman."
As Wu Junrou was speaking, Madam Xu was welcomed in by the maid outside.
Madam Xu is the wife of Xu Jin, the Minister of Works. Xu Jin is now in the Ministry of Works and is constantly constrained by Yin Yichen, so he has long been dissatisfied. Now that Madam Xu is Wu Junrou's close friend, it is natural that they often visit each other.
When Madam Xu saw Wu Junrou, she immediately said to her, "My God, what have you done? It has spread all over the world. You want to take a concubine for your own master, but you also want to drag the Prime Minister's Mansion into supporting roles, making the Prime Minister's Mansion a joke. How could you do such a thing? You don't even try to persuade your master, and you don't even check whether the girl is worthy of him."
When Wu Junrou saw Madam Xu, she was full of dissatisfaction, saying, "It was not my idea, but I didn't know how it would turn out like this. A few days ago, the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion said that she wanted the master to teach that little girl poetry and songs. I thought it was not right, but she had such an idea. I have really been fooled by her now."
"Now that you mention it, Song Wanning is quite an important figure." Madam Xu said in disbelief, "I have seen this girl before, at the full moon banquet of Pingyuan Marquis's residence. At that time, Mr. Bai brought his concubine with him, but she didn't say a word. Now that she is married for the second time, she has become an important figure."
"She now has a powerful general to support her family, and she is married to the prime minister. How can she not be arrogant?" Wu Junrou chuckled and said, "Besides, that girl is so beautiful that even the prime minister can't escape her beauty."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu shook her head and said, "Since she is such a person, I am afraid it is difficult for us to go against her. It would be better to find someone with a higher status to show her how powerful she is."
When Wu Junrou heard what Madam Xu said, she quickly came up with an idea in her mind, "Princess Xiangyu in the palace also liked the Prime Minister before, but she was taken away by Song Wanning. She is someone who can help."
