He definitely wouldn't disgrace his wife at this time, nor would he let his good image in front of others be tarnished.
Xunmi's face was dyed with sorrow, crystal clear tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
She hugged her mother and cried softly. She was crying for the original owner.
Her mother was still alive and well, and she didn't walk on that path of no return.
How could she not cry tears of joy? How could she not vent all of her gloominess?
"Good, Chouer, good, tell mother, mother will make a decision for you."
"Even if mother is useless, at least you still have a Duke grandfather."
It is said that a mother is strong. For her child, even the Prime Minister's Madam who had always been indifferent, showed her sharp side at this moment.
Shangguan Yan's words were for the Prime Minister to hear, no matter how high his position was.
Don't forget that Shangguan Yan came from the Duke's Household, and her daughter was also the Duke's Household's Little Miss.
Wenren Xiang was stunned for a moment, his expression showing that he was shocked by such a Madam.
At the same time, he reacted. Yes, Shangguan Yan's identity was not some ordinary Eldest Miss.
If he wanted to touch her, he had to think carefully.
Xunmi cried enough and withdrew from her mother's arms. Zongzheng Mufeng handed over a handkerchief at the right time.
"Thank you." She softly thanked him and took the handkerchief to wipe the tears on her face.
The face kissed by tears had a glossy luster, and the red mole under her eyes had a seductive charm.
Her every move was like the most elegant orchid among hundreds of flowers, beautiful and elegant.
The people who were watching the show seemed to have a sudden realization. Oh, so this was the Prime Minister's Second Miss.
Who said that she was ugly? If this kind of appearance was considered ugly, then there really was no beauty.
Even the Eldest Miss of the Prime Minister's Household who was recognized as the number one beauty couldn't be compared to the Second Miss.
"Mother, Father, this time, daughter was able to come back, thanks to the An Wang."
"What's going on?" The Prime Minister asked quickly.
For the first time, he felt that his second daughter was not simple. At least compared to his eldest daughter, she was much smarter.
Why didn't he realize in the past that this daughter was better than his eldest daughter? If he were to raise his second daughter, it would be much smoother.
However, it was not too late now. Once this matter was resolved, he would talk to his second daughter.
Zongzheng Mufeng's eyes flashed with annoyance. This old thing didn't even take a look at himself. He actually dared to scheme against his beauty. He deserved a lesson.
Xunmi pretended not to see the Prime Minister's urgency and slowly helped her mother to the side.
He called his younger brother over to take care of him, then helped Xiao Xiang up from the ground and patted her back to comfort her.
"Yesterday, I was planning to give Big Sister the Phoenix Pearl that she always wanted, so I asked Xiao Xiang to invite Big Sister over."
"But I didn't say much before I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, it was already midnight."
"Fortunately, I met Prince An. Prince An pitied me, so he brought me back to the Imperial Residence."
"I was prepared to come back early in the morning to ask for forgiveness, but I heard that the Crown Prince had already married the Crown Princess yesterday."
"Father, I can give up anything, even the Crown Prince."
"I know that Big Sister likes His Highness the Crown Prince. Every time His Highness comes to visit, Big Sister is always by his side."
She also knew how to defame the other party without leaving a trace, okay?
"But I didn't think that Big Sister would be so heartless."
"I don't want to haggle over anything. I still have the magnanimity to help a pair of lovers."
"But I can't stand that she actually wanted to harm my mother after abandoning me."
"Father, I know you won't believe me if I say this. Prince An, I'll have to trouble you."
Xunmi nodded to her man, then stepped back to her mother and brother's side.
She enjoyed the amused expressions of the aunts, especially the female lead's mother.
As expected, she was someone who couldn't be shown in public. Her gaze was evasive.
After Zongzheng Mufeng found out about the beauty's encounter, he sent An Yi over to investigate last night.
At the same time, he also kidnapped Second Madam's trusted servant girl, Xiao Hong. She couldn't stand being scared and confessed everything.
An Yi dragged her out and threw her on the ground, then quickly disappeared.
"This Prince admires Second Miss's arrogance and open-mindedness, so this Prince will intervene this time."
"Who is this Xiao Hong? You should be very familiar with her, so I won't say more."
"Everyone is smart." She stepped forward and kicked the person lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
"Tell me everything you know, and I'll spare your life. If you're not honest …"
She didn't finish her sentence, but it was enough to scare Xiao Hong.
She immediately yelled at the top of her lungs, "Second Madam, save me! Save me! You and Eldest Miss ordered me to do all these things!"
"It was Big Miss who first ruined Second Miss's reputation. She was jealous that Second Miss was more outstanding and beautiful than her."
"It was also Big Miss who urged Second Madam to poison Big Madam so that the Prime Minister could promote Second Madam. Then Big Miss would be the legitimate daughter."
"Then she can marry His Highness the Crown Prince. These were all done by Big Miss."
"It has nothing to do with me. I beg you, let me go."
Xiao Hong was already frightened by last night's torture. She incoherently blurted out everything she knew.
Second Madam was already frightened. She quickly rushed out and pulled Xiao Hong to beat and scold her.
"You lowly servant, you dare to frame your master like this."
She looked as if she wanted to kill Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong didn't know where she got the strength from, but she pushed away the person on top of her.
She crawled to the Prime Minister's feet and grabbed his trousers.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, what Xiao Hong said is true. Big Miss even made an agreement with the Crown Prince."
"When she becomes the Crown Princess, she will let Prime Minister help the Crown Prince seize the throne."
"Ah …" Xiao Hong had just finished speaking when Wen Ren Xiang ruthlessly kicked her away.
His face was flustered and exasperated. Being laughed at like this was bad enough, but she actually said such disgraceful words.
His entire body was trembling. That Wenren Yunfei, how dare she be so bold.
Everyone present was shocked by the words that came out of Xiao Hong's mouth. This An Country's Emperor was still in his prime.
The Crown Prince was already thinking of how to usurp the throne. This Big Miss of the Prime Minister's manor even found a backer for the Prime Minister's manor. She really was far-sighted.
Look, before Zongzheng Mufeng could react, the imperial edict arrived.
It announced that a group of people would enter the palace for an audience.
The Prime Minister's entire face turned ashen. He could almost predict the outcome.
No, he couldn't harm the entire Prime Minister's manor for a daughter that would be abandoned sooner or later.
If An Yi hadn't taken Xiao Hong away in advance, she would probably be killed by the Prime Minister.
Xunmi brought her mother and brother to sit in the Prince's carriage. It was carved into a gorgeous pattern from white jade.
The interior was spacious and covered with a fine cashmere carpet. A small table was placed in the middle with some pastries and tea.
Two ferghana horses pulled the carriage, solemn and mighty.
