Jin Chuhan returned to his residence from that day and spent the past few days in a state of anxiety. When he thought about the foolish things he did at Sun Mansion that day, he really wanted to slap himself twice.

It was not that he was afraid of Minister of Revenue, it was just that he was a dignified Jin Country. Even if he was not heavily favored by royal father, he, Sun Fuping, would not dare to do anything to him.

What Jin Chuhan was worried about was that Sun Fuping would report this matter to the emperor. This kind of matter that would damage the reputation of the imperial family, was what Jin Chuyi could not tolerate.

But after seven days, Jin Chuhan would observe Sun Fuping's expression everyday. He was still very respectful to him, but this Advice Sun was famous for being a smiling tiger in the imperial court, maybe he had already reported this matter to the emperor, and was waiting for the emperor to settle it.

After a few more days, the emperor Jin Chuyi did not punish Jin Chuhan either. His heart could be considered to have returned to his stomach, it seems that Sun Fuping did not tell the emperor about this matter, as the family was ugly to the extreme, and this Advice Sun was still a wise man.

Not only was Jin Chuhan's matriarch born in poverty, he was also spicy and jealous. Early on, he fought with a beauty for his favor and accidentally killed that beauty in a single day. The Emperor sent her into the cold palace in a fit of rage and never saw the light of day again.

The Emperor ordered the imperial physician to not go to the Imperial City for treatment. In the end, she cold died in the Imperial Palace, and after his death, she was buried in the unmarked cemetery outside the capital.

Jin Chuhan grew up by the Imperial Consort Du's side, his personality was also tainted with a few points of the Imperial Consort Du, making him cruel, merciless, and despotic.

After the death of Imperial Consort Du, Jin Chuhan was even less trusted by the emperor. Even though he was a Second Prince, his favours were not as good as the leisurely and wild Third Prince Jin Chuping, who never cared about court affairs. As such, he felt a lot of resentment in his heart.

Jin Chuhan felt that Sun Fuping did not report this matter to the Emperor Jin Chuyi this time, and was most likely expressing goodwill towards him.

With the support of the big tree called Prime Minister's Estate, if he could take Sun Fuping over for his own use, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for him to fight for the throne.

Therefore, after the day had passed, Jin Chuhan purposely slowed down, waiting for Sun Fuping who was coming from behind.

Sun Fuping was thinking about how to bring the Zhong's back to his residence. Ever since the last time when the Zhong's went to the Prime Minister's Estate, he had already gone to the Prime Minister's Estate three times, and every time he was rejected outside the door. Every day, he would look at Zhong Wumou with contempt and resentment.

"Master Sun, are you busy today?"

Sun Fuping lowered his head and thought about something. He didn't see Jin Chuhan in front of him and almost bumped into him.

"So it's the Second Prince. Does the Second Prince have any instructions? little Chen will listen attentively. "

Sun Fuping thought that he had never had anything to do with this Second Prince before, and normally, Jin Chuhan wouldn't even look at him directly.

Jin Chuhan laughed: "Master Sun is too serious, this prince does not have anything to say. I just want to invite Master Sun to our residence for a chat.

Of course, Sun Fuping this old cunning fox understood what Jin Chuhan meant. It seemed that he was trying to rope him in.

He couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "How would I, the dignified father of Grand Imperial Consort, walk with you?"

Although Jin Chuhan was ambitious, but since the matriarch was dead and he could not be trusted by the Emperor, all the officials in the imperial court had to avoid him, so he did not have any power in the imperial court.

"little Chen admires Second Prince very much as well. It's just that First Prince has invited me to discuss the matter of marriage with you and will pay you a visit another day."

Sun Fuping still didn't know that the person in front of him, was already his son-in-law worthy of his title.

Jin Chuhan laughed coldly and said: "Alright! Then, Prince of Japan, please invite Master Sun to my house for a chat. "

Something that doesn't know how to appreciate favors, thinking that you can rest easy after climbing this big tree like Jin Chuao. I will let you know who the final winner is.

Jin Chuhan suppressed the displeasure in his heart and left.

When Sun Fuping returned to the manor, he was still thinking about how to bring the Zhong's back to the manor.

If courtier found out that Zhong's stayed behind and refused to come back, there would be no place left for him to hide his face. But the people of Prime Minister's Estate did not allow him to enter, and he could not force his way in, so how could he bring the Zhong's back?

Sun Fuping's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he walked towards the Jing Xin Yuan.

As the future Grand Imperial Consort, for Sun Jinzi to let her go with him to bring the Zhong's back, even if Zhong Wumou was unhappy in his heart, he probably didn't dare to have any objections.

"Zi Er, have you gotten better in the past few days?"

Sun Jinzi was talking about the wedding with Mu Tan. Seeing that the wedding between her and First Prince Jin Chua Ao was just around the corner, but she could not think of any way to break the engagement, her mind was about to explode.

Hearing Sun Fuping's voice, he raised his head and responded, "I am indebted to father for his care and concern, and it has already been a lot better."

Sun Fuping did not conceal the reason he had come here for, and went straight to the point: "Zi Er, I came here today with a request, would you like to come with me to the Prime Minister's Estate to bring your aunt back?"

When Mu Tan heard that Sun Fuping had asked the Young Miss to accompany him to bring the female tiger back from Zhong's, she did not care about her status.

"Master, the miss and I are going to the General's Estate, I'm afraid we don't have time."

Sun Fuping choked on Mu Tan's words and wanted to get angry, but with a request from Sun Jinzi, her face blushed slightly.

"Zi Er, you should also know that the wedding day between you and First Prince is coming up. We still have many matters to attend to at home.

Of course, Sun Fuping would not tell them that he had been rejected by the Prime Minister's Estate.

Mu Tan still wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Sun Jinzi's gaze. She said: "I will pack up and head to Prime Minister's Estate with father. Please wait for me in the front hall."

Seeing that Sun Jinzi had promised so generously, Sun Fuping's tightly knitted eyebrows immediately became much more relaxed, and she went to the front hall to wait.

Seeing that Sun Fuping had walked far away, Mu Tan asked: "Miss, why did you agree to let Master take care of that god of pests in Zhong's? Isn't it good to be the owner of the house in Third Wife now?"

Sun Jinzi knew that the return of the Zhong's would not benefit him at all, but when she saw Sun Fuping's pitiful state, her heart softened and she agreed. After all, the reason why Zhong's was unwilling to return from the Prime Minister's Estate was because of the previous banquet.

"Mu Tan, Auntie is the mistress of Sun Mansion. Even though she has been very ungrateful to me, she has always stayed in the Prime Minister's Estate and has not had a good reputation for Sun Mansion. It would be hard for me to meet her when I go out in the future."

Mu Tan snorted and sat on the bed, ignoring Sun Jinzi. In her heart, she hated Zhong's mother and daughter to the bones.

Sun Jinzi also hated him, but she couldn't let this hatred affect what happened afterwards. Moreover, she didn't have any evidence to prove that Mu Lan was killed by Zhong's mother and daughter's conspiracy.

A luxurious carriage slowly stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Estate.

A young girl in the prime of her youth alighted from the carriage, followed by a middle-aged man around forty years of age. His face was as fair as jade, and he was brimming with energy and vigor.

When the guard at the door saw the middle-aged man, he said as usual, "Advice Sun, my family's young miss and Madam have left. They will only be able to return after a few days."

The middle-aged man was Sun Fuping, and the young girl was Sun Jinzi.

"This is the Grand Imperial Consort. Hurry up and report to the Prime Minister."

When the guard at the gate heard that the Grand Imperial Consort had arrived, he looked up and saw that Sun Jinzi had an elegant demeanor, with a bit of royal bearing. He immediately went to report to Zhong Wumou.

Zhong Wumou was currently sitting and chatting with Zhong's in the manor. Speaking of Sun Fuping, who had already come to Prime Minister's Estate three times, Zhong's felt that since Sun Fuping knew he was wrong, he could just go back another day.

"Hmph, such a thing without backbone."

Zhong Wumou looked coldly at his daughter. He wanted Sun Fuping to understand one thing, the young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate was not someone he could casually oppress, and the position of Sun Mansion's matriarch was not something that a concubinage could replace.

"Prime Minister, Grand Imperial Consort and Master Sun are here?"

Zhong's was startled at first, and said indignantly: "What? Sun Fuping actually brought out that bitch? "

Zhong Wumou glared at her again and said, "Do you know what will happen if your words reach the emperor's ears today? How many times have I told you this, have you forgotten? "

He could hide from Sun Fuping when he came to the Prime Minister's Estate, and even prevent him from taking half a step into the Prime Minister's Estate. However, he could not help but see Sun Jinzi, the future Grand Imperial Consort of the Jin Country.

Zhong's followed behind Zhong Wumou and walked towards the entrance of Prime Minister's Estate together, but met two people on the way.

Zhong Wumou couldn't help but exclaim in his heart when he saw the brilliant Sun Jinzi. She really was a beauty of a nation, no wonder the First Prince Jin Chua Ao risked the danger of being punished, and wanted the Emperor to bestow her marriage on him.

"Old official pays his respect to Grand Imperial Consort."

As Zhong Wumou said this, he was about to kneel on the ground, when Sun Jinzi hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up.

"Why must the old Prime Minister be so courteous? You are my aunt's father, and are also Zi Er's grandfather. How can Zi Er accept such a great gift from you?"

When Sun Jinzi saw Zhong Wumou's lively and healthy hair, he did not look like an old man in flowery clothes at all. Only then did he understand why everyone in the imperial court would say that Zhong Wumou was the Iron-Blood Prime Minister.

Sun Fuping immediately bowed towards Zhong Wumou, and said: "Your son-in-law greets father-in-law."

Zhong Wumou did not pay attention to him. Instead, his gaze was attracted by the Sun Jinzi in front of him, and he did not know what kind of magical power the girl in front of him possessed.

"I wonder why Grand Imperial Consort has come to my house today?"

How could Zhong Wumou not know that this was Sun Fuping's reinforcements?

Sun Jinzi did not reply her. Instead, she walked straight towards the Zhong's with Sun Fuping following closely behind her.

"Aunt, you have been in the Prime Minister's Estate for a long time. There are still many things that need you to go back and take care of. Father and I miss you and the Third sister very much."

She then pulled Sun Fuping's and Zhong's's hands together and placed them on her own, then said: "Aunt, our daughter's wedding is coming up, so I will have to trouble you."

Zhong Wumou saw this, and admired them even more in his heart.

With such a young age, he actually had such great luck and ambition, it seemed like Jin Chuao's luck was not shallow.
