After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion

After the competition, Song Lian won first place and was about to show off in front of the prince, but when she looked up, she found that he had already left.

She felt instantly lost. In her previous life, the prince had clearly come over to talk to her, so why did he just leave without even saying hello in this life?

She frowned, and her originally happy mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

Just as she was walking with her head down, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her. When she looked up, she found that it was a man she didn't recognize.

"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?"

"Are you Miss Song Lian Song?"

"This is my daughter, may I ask who you are, sir?"

"I am Du Yulang, the current Minister of War."

"Master Du, I am honored to be here. May I ask what you want from me?"

"I just saw that you are very good at needlework and was attracted by your craftsmanship, so I came here to congratulate you."

Du Yulang was indeed attracted by Song Lian's skillful craftsmanship. He even asked someone about her and learned that she was a merchant woman whose ancestors were very rich and had many profitable shops.

The most important thing is that this person seems to have some disputes with the Xie family. Some time ago, she just broke off her engagement with a bastard of the Xie family.

If he could marry her, not only would life at home be much better, but his mother would also have someone to take care of her, and he would also be able to learn some of the Xie family's secrets from her.

"Your Excellency is too kind to praise me. My skill is but a trifle. How dare it be worthy of your attention?"

"Miss Song, you are being too polite. I admire you very much. You don't have to be so modest."

Song Lian smiled proudly. In her previous life, she always stayed by the prince's side or in the harem and seldom asked about the affairs of the court. Therefore, she had no impression of this Minister Du.

Now that I see him, he is not only handsome, but also speaks politely, like a gentleman.

"Thank you, Lord Du, for your appreciation."

Du Yulang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile, "Miss Song, it's getting late. My carriage is just over there. Where do you live? I'll take you home."

"No need, Mr. Du." Song Lian blushed and refused embarrassedly.

"Girl, don't worry. Please get in the car. I hate to see girls alone."

Having said that, he invited Song Lian to get in the car.

At first, Song Lian wanted to refuse, but seeing that it was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, she gave in.

The two talked and laughed along the way and had a great time.

Du Yulang took the opportunity to mention the Xie family and told her the joke he had just seen.

"Miss Song, do you know what happened at the Xie family just now?"

"I don't know. I was just competing with my wits and didn't pay attention to other things. What happened to the Xie family?"

Although Song Lian broke off her engagement with Xie Bailiang, her hatred for the Xie family did not diminish at all. If it weren't for the changes in the Xie family, how could her path to becoming the heroine be so difficult?

"Do you know Xie Baijin, the eldest daughter of the Xie family?"

"I know, has something happened to her?" That would be great if something happened, she was just waiting to see the Xie family make a fool of themselves.

"She was just learning how to butcher a pig from a butcher. There were a lot of people around her."

"Is it true?" She suddenly had an idea. This was a huge joke. A young lady from a noble family was learning to castrate pigs. This was the first time she had heard of such a strange thing.

"Really, I saw it with my own eyes. The Emperor and the Crown Prince were also there at the time, and they were stunned."

"Hahaha!" They both laughed at the same time.

"Tell me, how can the wife of the Xie family raise her head in front of everyone in the future? Won't she be ridiculed by the ladies of other families?"

Song Lian said casually, "Who says it's not true? If I were Madam Xie, I'm afraid I would never be able to hold my head up in this life."

"That's right! Hahaha."

Through the conversation along the way, Song Lian had a better and better impression of this man.

"I wonder if Miss Song Lian has someone she likes?" Du Yulang asked straight to the point without any hesitation.

"Why do you ask this, Lord Du?" She blushed with shame. After all, she was still an unmarried girl, and it was inevitable that she would feel shy when asked this question.

"It seems that Miss Song is gone. What do you think of me? If you don't mind, I am willing to come and propose marriage. Although my family is not rich, I am at least a second-rank official, so I should be worthy of you."

The more he said this, the more embarrassed Song Lian felt.

"Sir, please stop talking like that. It's too embarrassing for me. Besides, since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers. How can I make the decision?"

"Hahaha!" Du Lang laughed out loud. "Okay, since Miss Song has spoken, I will choose a day to come and propose marriage. I will meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law first."

Song Lian blushed and lowered her head in silence, but she was very happy in her heart. After all, he was the Minister of War, wasn't he better than those unpromising men in the Xie family?

After all, she would be able to become a Shangshu's wife in the future. Although her position would not be as high as that of a Crown Princess, she would still have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Moreover, judging from his tone, Lord Du doesn't seem to have a good impression of the Xie family. If they join forces with him, they will surely be able to bring down the Xie family and avenge their previous humiliation.

……

The next morning.

Yun Zhihan got up early, she was still worried about Jin'er.

Unexpectedly, Tuoba Hong walked in with a sour face.

"Ah Hong, what's with that expression on your face? Did the servants make you angry?" She had never seen this man with such a sour face.

Tuoba Hong did not explain and asked directly, "I heard from Chen'er that the Emperor of the Great Zhou went to the Qixi Temple Fair with you yesterday?"

"Yes." Yun Zhihan nodded blankly, "Is there any problem with this?"

"Of course!" Tuoba Hong analyzed, "He is the emperor, and he has 3,000 beauties in his harem. Why didn't he bring any concubines with him, and only travel with you?"

"Uh..." She was helpless. This was not something she could decide. "This is the emperor's business. How can a woman like me know it so clearly?"

You can't tell Ahong that the emperor has some feelings about him, right?

"What do you think of the Emperor of Great Zhou?"

Ah Hong didn't need to guess, and he knew that the dog emperor must have bad intentions towards Yun Zhihan, otherwise why would he leave so many concubines in the palace? It was very suspicious.

But Yun Zhihan was very confused when faced with this question. What did this have to do with anything? What did she think of the emperor? Was that something she could think about? She didn't even have the qualifications to comment, right?

"Ahong, what do you mean? Can you be more straightforward? I am confused by what you are saying."

Seeing that she was puzzled, Tuoba Hong asked bluntly, "Do you like the emperor?"

Yun Zhihan was so frightened that he almost couldn't breathe, and quickly stopped her, "Ahong, do you know what you are saying? If someone hears this, how can it be tolerated?"

"I'm not afraid of him!"

"But I'm afraid, and so are the Xie family. Everything the Xie family has today was given by him. I will never allow you to be so reckless!"

Hearing Yun Zhihan's serious tone, Tuoba Hong also restrained himself a little and explained, "Don't worry, I have sent the maids and servants out, no one will hear it."

"That won't work either. You can't say that again. Do you understand?"
