"It's a good thing to take action. It's better than holding it in and doing small things secretly," Li Xueyan didn't care about Yun Ruochu's actions at all.

Liu Yunyan chuckled, "You are quite calm."

"Working with someone like my cousin, I don't think I have anything to worry about," Li Xueyan complimented directly, "Yun Ruochu has been in frequent contact with my father recently."

"After all, they are father and son. Your father will help him even if he is unwilling." This prime minister is also an interesting person.

"Aunt has been avoiding my father for a while. I'm afraid she knows why my father went to see her. My father is the same. The marriage was arranged by the emperor, so he didn't dare to go and offend the emperor. He just wanted my aunt to go." Li Xueyan looked down on such a father who would only let the woman take the lead when something happened.

"At the birthday party that day, your father looked quite powerful," Liu Yunyan recalled what happened that day.

Li Xueyan said disdainfully, "He's not powerful, he's just afraid. Once the relationship between Yun Ruochu and I is exposed by someone with ulterior motives, will he still be able to sit securely on the position of Prime Minister?"

"My mother's family is much more powerful than his. He got rich thanks to my mother's family. You could say he made his fortune thanks to his wife's family. He was a coward back then, but now that he has secured his position, he starts to say that my maternal family looks down on him. How shameless."

Li Xueyan had a lot to say when she talked about her father.

"I didn't expect the Prime Minister to be such a person," Liu Yunyan couldn't comfort him, "Have you seen your dear, uh, mother, outside?"

"No, that woman has nothing to do with me. She knew that the other party had a wife, but she still rushed to become his concubine. She is shameless. If she had come to me and asked to be a concubine, I would have looked up to her," Li Xueyan did not admit that the woman outside was her mother. Her mother was only the prime minister's wife from the beginning to the end.

"You are quite insightful." A woman like Li Xueyan lives too clearly, and how many worldly affairs can catch her eye?

"That's why I envy my cousin," Li Xueyan watched Liu Yunyan go to get the teacup.

"What do you envy me for?" Liu Yunyan was a little confused and didn't think there was anything about me that could attract her.

"I envy the friendship between my cousin and Liu Yunfeng." The relationship between the two is really enviable. Liu Yunfeng moved out of the Liu family directly for Liu Yunyan, and the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was directly avoided.

"Cough cough," Liu Yunyan choked because she drank the water too quickly, "Are we so obvious?" Liu Yunyan didn't think that outsiders could tell the relationship between them.

Li Xueyan smiled, but quickly put it away, "Maybe you are the only ones who don't think it's obvious. The way Liu Yunfeng looks at you seems to be eating you up." She just didn't know what that person's attitude towards her was.

Liu Yunyan looked at her expression and said, "Are you thinking about your lover? What kind of person is he?" Liu Yunyan was quite curious.

Li Xueyan shook her head. "He is my master. I should respect him. He doesn't have any special feelings for me. Besides, we are not suitable for each other. He gives me the feeling that he is hiding something."

"Maybe he has something to hide." Liu Yunyan comforted.

"Maybe..." Li Xueyan thought.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door.

"What's going on?" Li Xueyan frowned.

"I'll go take a look." Liu Yunyan stood up and walked towards the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a little maid standing there anxiously.

"Miss, it's bad, Madam...she is sick!" the little maid said breathlessly.

Li Xueyan's heart tightened, and she quickly said goodbye to Liu Yunyan and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Liu Yunyan looked at Li Xueyan's back as she left. She tapped the table a few times with her slender fingers and pondered for a moment, "Wuqi, go and see what's going on with the Prime Minister's wife?"

If it was just a simple illness, it wouldn't have made the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion so panicked.

"Yes," Wuqi's voice came, giving people a vague feeling.

Liu Yunyan stood up and prepared to leave.

The weather turned cooler and there were more and more people on the streets. Liu Yunyan was wandering around the shops in boredom.

Walking into a clothing store, which was filled with all kinds of clothes, Liu Yunyan didn't expect that the shop, which looked inconspicuous from the outside, was actually so ordinary inside.

The shop assistant greeted Liu Yunyan with a smile on his face and introduced the new clothes in the store to her. Liu Yunyan picked out a few clothes she liked based on the recommendation of the shop assistant. When she was about to have them packed up and check out, she suddenly heard an arrogant voice.

"Boss, I want all the clothes here!" This sentence attracted the attention of everyone in the store, and everyone turned to look.

Liu Yunyan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in pink standing there. She had delicate makeup on her face and was quite beautiful, but she looked young. She must be a little girl spoiled by her family. There were about dozens of followers following her.

"Oh, sir, I'm so sorry. Some of the clothes here have been reserved by other guests. If you like these styles, I can arrange for someone to customize a batch for you, and guarantee that they will be exactly the same as these. Do you think this is okay?" The shopkeeper hurriedly walked out from the inner room and apologized to the woman in pink with a smile.

"No, I...I want these, and you can't make new clothes for these. No one else is worthy of wearing the same clothes as me. And her clothes should be left behind," the woman in pink pointed at the clothes in Liu Yunyan's hand.

Liu Yunyan was displeased. She turned to the pink-dressed lady and said with a smile, "My lady, everything has a first come first served order. I was the first one to see these clothes."

The pink-dressed lady looked Liu Yunyan up and down and said disdainfully, "Who are you? How dare you snatch clothes from me!"

Liu Yunyan said calmly: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that we are reasonable. You came late, and there are plenty of clothes over there. There's no need to give you the clothes in my hand, right?"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly tried to smooth things over: "My two guests, please stop arguing. How about this, I'll give you both a discount?"

Liu Yunyan didn't want to argue any further, so she nodded in agreement.

However, the pink-dressed lady did not appreciate it: "Humph! I don't need your discount. I have plenty of money! I want to order her clothes."

After saying that, she threw down a large ingot of silver and waved to the people behind her to get the clothes.

Liu Yunyan looked at the people who walked up to her, then glanced at the woman and handed the clothes in her hand over.

"Liu Yunyan, when did you become such a coward?" It was Shen Lingxue, followed by Shen Moyu who had become a eunuch. After not seeing him for a long time, Shen Moyu no longer had the arrogance on his face. He followed Shen Lingxue like a dog.

Shen Lingxue continued to mock Liu Yunyan, "How come you become more and more cowardly after becoming the county lord? Just like that rootless thing, you become more and more timid."

Shen Lingxue's words made Shen Moyu behind him turn pale, and he couldn't help but clench his fists. Shen Lingxue, one day you will regret what you said today.

Liu Yunyan ignored Shen Lingxue's words and prepared to leave.

"Hey, Princess Pingyang, don't go. I haven't finished speaking yet," Shen Lingxue blocked her way.

"I have changed my mind about these clothes. I don't want them anymore. I'll give them to you as a reward," the woman in pink suddenly spoke. Her eyes passed over Liu Yunyan and fell on Shen Lingxue.

"Oh, who was it? It turned out to be Shen Lingxue, the eldest daughter of the Shen family," the pink-dressed woman said with a smile, "Why, you old friends don't even say hello when you meet?"

Shen Lingxue looked at the girl in front of her, and her expression suddenly changed again and again. She forced a smile, "It turned out to be Princess Yunli. I haven't seen you for many days. Princess Yunli is getting more and more beautiful."

Princess Yunli is Prince Mu's most beloved youngest daughter. Prince Mu is in a high position and has great power, and she cannot afford to offend him.

Liu Yunyan thought to herself, it is indeed so.
