Primarily in pink, it looked like the room of an unmarried girl in the mansion.
The governor of the Capital Prefecture, with a half-smile, glanced at the Prime Minister again and led his people away.
Seeing the back of the departing governor, the Prime Minister finally regained some presence of mind. Despite his disheveled attire, he hurriedly chased after the governor, shouting, "Old brother, old brother, wait a moment!"
At this moment, the courtyard was already crowded with people. The sons and daughters-in-law of the Prime Ministerās Mansion blocked the yard, along with many servants who all came upon hearing the noise of catching a thief.
Now, seeing the Prime Minister coming out in disarray from the young ladyās room, everyone looked displeased.
The servants were utterly distraught, fearing that, having witnessed such a scandal in their masterās house, they might not survive, even if they werenāt silenced.
As for the masters in the Prime Ministerās Mansion, their faces were ashen. Just after the scandal involving the main wife making trouble, now comes the news of the master having a scandal with the young miss. Can the Prime Ministerās Mansion still have a foothold in the Capital City?
The Prime Minister was still chasing after the governor, "Old brother, we can talk this out. Why are you walking so fast? Everything can be negotiated."
The Prime Minister had only one thought at this time: he must not let the incident be spread, or the entire Prime Ministerās Mansion would be finished.
"Donāt ever call me old brother, Iām afraid of catching your scandalous illness."
The Prime Ministerās face turned green at his words.
At this point, the Prime Minister couldnāt hide it anymore and blurted out, "Thatās not my daughter, things arenāt what you saw."
"Lord Prime Minister, just accept it!" The governor of the Capital Prefecture said directly, "Every time something happens, you say itās not your daughter, who will believe it? Everyone in Capital City knows how your wife dotes on her daughter. If she werenāt your daughter, why would she harm the fiancĆ©e of Marquis Wuāan? And donāt you wonder why Iām at your mansion right now?"
"Yes, why are you here?"
Lord Prime Minister finally realized something was wrong. Why was the governor here at this late hour?
Even though his position as Prime Minister was nominal, other officials would still line up appearances for face.
But now the governor, who was several ranks lower than him, showing up in the middle of the night at his mansion, what was going on?
"Lord Prime Minister, just accept your fate, knowing there are people who donāt want you in this position, yet you remain unrestrained. Who can you blame?"
The governor scoffed, "Do you think cleaning up the outside allows you to rest easy? The filth inside cannot be hidden."
The governor of the Capital Prefecture left with his men, leaving the Prime Minister collapsing to the ground.
Meanwhile, Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziāan had already returned to Prince Anās Mansion.
"Tomorrow, the city will be lively again." Yang Chuxia smiled.
Ye Ziāan shook his head without speaking.
"Now Iām thinking, will the Madam of Prime Minister die of anger upon hearing this news?"
"I donāt know if she will die of anger." Ye Ziāan replied, "But the Emperor certainly will be furious. Itās disgusting to think such officials exist in the court."
"Arenāt they just!" Yang Chuxia added, "That shameless person, doing such things, still wants to marry Linhao. If she really succeeded, the uncleās face would be utterly humiliated."
"Letās not talk about them, and get some rest."
Ye Ziāan said, "Tomorrow, the court will be in an uproar again."
Because he didnāt just notify the governor, but also sent a letter to the Imperial Censor, tomorrowās morning court would have someone impeaching the Prime Minister.
Indeed, the next morning in the court, the Imperial Censor was the first to stand out and report on the Prime Ministerās matter, yet the Prime Minister vehemently denied everything.
