Today, in the afternoon.

Originally, because of what happened last night and everything that spread this morning and this morning.

The mistress of the prime minister's mansion, who used to be high and mighty in front of others and able to raise outstanding children, now has her reputation plummeted into the quagmire.

However, the Prime Minister's Office quickly took action and, with the help of arrangements made by Jingzhao Prefecture, all the rumors about the Prime Minister's Office in the capital were suppressed.

Although there were still some small voices discussing and speculating about Zhu, they were not as overwhelming as they were in the morning. They were all doubts about Zhu, the mistress of the prime minister's mansion.

In the afternoon, Su Huan used Yaowang Pavilion to spread the news.

In an instant, those suppressed remarks began to spread again among the people in the capital.

When the prefect of Jingzhao heard the news, he knew he could no longer control the situation. After all, this matter concerned the prime minister's wife, and the prime minister had given him instructions in advance. He could no longer do anything about it, so he could only tell the prime minister the truth.

What happened today was really enough. He stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion three times in one day. People who didn't know the truth thought that as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, he had already become a retainer in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Fortunately, he was not stupid. This matter involved a serious matter, so he had already drafted a memorial and presented it to the emperor, informing him of all the details.

It's true. I don't know how the Prime Minister's wife does things. If she had not let go of what happened last night and had found out Miss Su's whereabouts in advance, the situation today would not have happened.

No wonder the people in Beijing would say that she was not a good stepmother. As the daughter of the first wife, she was not able to enjoy everything she was supposed to have. The prime minister’s mansion and backyard were a mess.

He didn't know how this matter should end in the end, so he decided to go see the Prime Minister first and hear what he had to say about this matter.

Prime Minister’s Mansion, Jinhuaxuan.

Zhu stood in the corridor, looking at the sunset in the sky. She thought that after nightfall, all the criticisms about her in the capital would be suppressed to a minimum and would disappear in a few days.

Indeed, by noon, these effects had faded a lot.

However, what no one expected was that it broke out again at nightfall.

Nanny Li stood by and said soothingly, "Madam, the prefect of Jingzhao has come to see the Prime Minister. There must be an explanation for this matter. Madam, don't worry for now. No matter what, we still have the Prime Minister to deal with."

Zhu sighed deeply, frowning, "This matter concerns the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the past, I was a credit to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister was very kind to me. But now, these things have caused the Prime Minister's Mansion to bear a lot of criticism, and the Prime Minister's mind has long been shaken."

Nanny Li suddenly realized something and thought of something, especially the Prime Minister's attitude towards the Madam after he came back in the morning and those words with a warning tone.

"But, Madam, don't we still have the old lady?" Nanny Li said immediately, "We are the ones who planned this, but the most crucial plan behind the whole thing came from the old lady."

Zhu chuckled, "Madam, do you think she will get involved in this?"

Li Madam: "Could it be that the old lady will just let it go? But when she was here at noon, she also said that..."

Zhu: "It's one thing to talk about, but it's only true when you actually do it and it works."

After these words were spoken, Nanny Li fell silent and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, there was silence all around.

Zhu's heart was in turmoil and she felt uneasy. If nothing went wrong in the warehouse, she might have still felt confident. But it was really raining cats and dogs.

Could it be that there really are ghosts in this world? What kind of means could be used to clean out such a huge warehouse without alerting the warehouse guards, and even her private warehouse hidden underground was not spared.

Nanny Li saw that the lady had a sad face. In the morning, there was an accident in the warehouse and the lady fainted from the shock. She had not yet fully recovered.

Things that were thought to be suppressed continued to be brought up, and became more and more serious, causing the lady to be exhausted.

Zhu's eyes were filled with heaviness. Why was it so difficult to kill Su Huan? She wanted to completely clear this obstacle for her children, so why was it so difficult?

Right now, she just hopes not to affect Xuan'er's marriage.

Unfortunately, everything in the storehouse was stolen, along with the dowry she had accumulated over the years to prepare for her daughter, and even the betrothal gifts sent from Prince Jing's Mansion, nothing was left.

I thought the old lady would be able to fill this vacancy, but the rumors I faced were even more troublesome.

You can raise money and treasures, but if you lose your reputation, it will be extremely difficult to rebuild it.

At the same time, inside the study.

As the prime minister of the current dynasty, even if Su Bingyan never leaves his house, with his spies and informants, he can basically be the first to know what is happening in the capital, especially when it involves the prime minister's residence.

Outside the study, the housekeeper of the mansion reported respectfully.

"Your Excellency, the Prefect of Jingzhao is outside seeking an audience."

Su Bingyan just gave an order and let him in.

The steward then led the prefect of Jingzhao inside.

After entering the study, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture bowed to the person sitting in front of the desk and said, "Your humble servant greets the Prime Minister."

Su Bingyan: "Get up, no need to be polite."

Jingzhao Prefecture Governor: "Thank you, Prime Minister." He did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Prime Minister, I followed your instructions and started to work, and the results were good, but in the blink of an eye, the limelight was inexplicably overshadowed and I lost control completely."

"I already know about this matter. You have done everything you should do. It is not your fault."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your understanding."

Su Bingyan: "Now I want to know where exactly this news came from and why it got out of control so quickly?"

Jingzhao Prefecture Governor: "Prime Minister, I have sent people to investigate and found that people are talking about this everywhere in the capital, and the most concentrated place was the Medicine King Pavilion. Prime Minister, the Medicine King Pavilion is a place with a large flow of people. If there is something to spread, it is the most appropriate place. It is obvious that someone does not want my arrangements to be settled."

Su Bingyan: "Based on your many years of experience, who do you think wants to do this?"

Jingzhao Prefecture Governor: "I dare not make irresponsible comments. Please forgive me for my offense, Prime Minister. Among those rumors, are those involving Miss Su true or false?"

Su Bingyan: "What's the relationship between true and false?"

Jingzhao Prefecture Governor: "If it is fake, then it doesn't matter. As long as we show the evidence, everyone will shut up. If it is true, then it will be difficult to deal with. As for who is behind it, if it is true, the opposition here, who will turn the tables and who will get beaten and bruised, the truth will be clear at a glance."

Su Bingyan: "You want to tell me that the rumor is true, it was written by my eldest daughter!"

The Jingzhao prefect bowed his head and said in a low voice: "Please forgive me, Prime Minister. I was reckless."
