Dressed as the villain's stepmother

After the prime minister said these words, he rolled up his sleeves and left, leaving no time for Xiao Xiyan to react.

She grabbed the bronze mirror on the dressing table with some numbness, and then threw the mirror to the ground.

The maid waiting outside immediately walked in when she heard the movement inside. Seeing Xiao Xiyan's scarlet eyes, she didn't dare to get closer for a moment.

"Girl, what happened to girl... Why are you so angry?"

The maid asked cautiously, fearing that she might accidentally get into trouble.

Xiao Xiyan was not a kind-hearted person, and she was even more merciless towards maids like them. She would hit and scold them whenever she asked.

"The Prime Minister now wants to treat me as a loser, and he can actually say that he can just find a husband and marry me off!"

Xiao Xiyan kept mumbling to herself, her eyes filled with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Why did he dare to treat himself like this? Without the support of her young mother's family, the prime minister would not have been able to secure this position in such a short period of time.

As a result, I now want to burn bridges across rivers.

"You go and send a letter to the Huo family now, saying that the Prime Minister wants to get me engaged casually, and also intends to void the previous agreement between the two parties."

Xiao Xiyan gave the order immediately and decisively, leaving no escape route for the Prime Minister.

Since he likes to do such unkind things, why should she give him a good look?

At worst, both sides will suffer losses.

The maid didn't dare to stay for even a moment, so she found a random one she just bought and left the house, using the token in her hand to enter the Huo family.

The Huo family is headed by an old lady. The old lady is sitting in the yard drinking tea at the moment. Listening to the maid kneeling on the ground and retelling the incident from beginning to end, a look of coldness immediately flashes in her eyes.

"It seems that the Prime Minister is becoming more and more courageous... He can even do such a thing."

She said with a worried expression.

Although the Huo family has suffered some defeats in recent years, a skinny camel is always bigger than a horse. Compared with the achievements accumulated by the prime minister in recent years, they have more leverage in front of the emperor.

"Since the Prime Minister wants to cross the river and demolish the bridge, let him demolish one first and try. Now go back and tell your lady that this matter is just a matter of wait and see. There are too many things in the palace recently and no one can predict what will happen next. What will happen.”

Mrs. Huo thought for a while before replying to the maid.

If the Prime Minister is really just acting on a whim, then there is no need for them to make things difficult in every possible way. If he is really interested, then they will naturally have ways to make his position unstable.

"it is good."

The maid immediately replied.

After waiting for the maid to leave, Nanny, who was standing behind Mrs. Huo, took a step forward and said, "Old madam, when would be the best time to arrange the young master's marriage? The Liu family may not have raised any objections."

"I think this kind of thing is most likely to happen at night, so it's better to hurry up and finalize the matter temporarily."

Grandma kept talking, as if she was afraid that Mrs. Huo would not agree to the request she just made.

"There is no need to rush this matter. That girl from the Liu family has been in the capital for a long time, but I have never caught sight of her."

Mrs. Huo said thoughtfully.

"Waiting for a while to meet her first, let me see what this girl is like."

"The slave will arrange it now."

Grandma said immediately.

Six doors.

Jiang Lianzhu threw the mandarin duck sachet hanging on her waist directly in front of Liao Yunchuan. Seeing his slightly confused look, she immediately explained with a smile.

"I heard that this sachet was a token of love given to Xiao Xiyan by Master Liao. When she came to see me today, she also used the sachet in her hand as a bargaining chip. It seems that there is indeed some confusion between the two of you. of."

There wasn't much dissatisfaction in her words, but the words she said made people feel a bit strange.

Liao Yunchuan reluctantly picked up the sachet in front of him and looked around before returning it to Jiang Lianzhu leisurely.

"This thing was given to me by Xiao Xiyan when we visited the lake last time. When I came back, I had someone throw the sachet out, but I don't know why this thing appeared again."

Liao Yunchuan said extremely sincerely.

None of what he said was a lie. Jiang Lianzhu looked at his slightly innocent look and gradually gave up her intention to continue questioning.

"I just think this matter is interesting, and I don't want to question your thoughts."

Jiang Lianzhu said, and then her expression changed.

"By the way, have you thought about how to replace that seven-orificed grass without anyone noticing? There are only a few days left before the sacrifice. If you still can't think of a countermeasure, I'm afraid it will be even worse in the future. difficulty."

She quickly changed the subject.

On the way to Liumen, she was thinking about the sachet on one side, and on how to hide the seven-hole grass from the outside.

What kind of dangerous situation would it take for the emperor to take out the Qiqiao grass and use it directly, regardless of whether it exists or not.

"Of course I have an idea now, but it requires the cooperation of Concubine Xi."

Liao Yunchuan said unhurriedly.

He was extremely attentive when talking about this method. Jiang Lianzhu nodded while listening, and a look of amazement gradually appeared in her eyes.

This method that Liao Yunchuan thought of is quite good.

If it can really be done, then this Seven-Aperture Grass can indeed be consumed without anyone noticing.

"Your method is not bad. I will attack Concubine Tongxi now and give her a good talk."

Jiang Lianzhu wanted to leave without saying a word. There was not much time before the sacrifice, so she naturally had to arrange all these things in advance.

"Okay, take this token and go in." Liao Yunchuan did not stop her, but took a token out of the drawer.

This token is used to enter and exit the palace at will.

"Master Liao is becoming more and more generous now. Not only is he willing to give me a piece of jade pendant that he carries with him, but he is also generous with the tokens given by the emperor."

Jiang Lianzhu's compliments came out of her mouth, although there was not much sincerity in them.

Liao Yunchuan smiled silently and watched her leave the study.

"Boss, you are obviously going to the palace later. Why don't you take your wife with you? Instead, give her the token in your hand."

Yang Fei spoke in confusion.

Ever since Jiang Lianzhu came in, he was like an invisible person, with no sense of presence. .
