”Your Royal Highness, are we just going to let this matter go?” Yun Qinan asked angrily.

Gu Yicheng started to talk about the matter of the miscarriage, telling Song Shujin's people to stop meddling in the tax affairs and take back all the authority they had gained from Tianhui Emperor.

Most of the court officials had handled the tax matters before, so handing over the rights of tax to those matters that could not be seen by anyone would be difficult to hide. No matter which faction it was, it would affect one's reputation, but in order to protect it, Song Shujin would do as Gu Yicheng said, and let his subordinates hand over the authority of tax.

Although he had managed to put out the fire the night before, and did not cause any big trouble, a lot of the records for the tax bureau had been burnt, and a huge commotion had occurred at the Tianhui Emperor. Only when Gu Yicheng did he feel at ease.

Song Shujin looked down at the light scars on the back of his right hand, and hated himself so much that his teeth itched. He was actually going to be hurt by that bitch Yun Qianliang!

Song Shujin turned and the two of them walked towards Gu Yicheng.

”Yun Xiang Mansion went into a thief last night, has Gu Xiang heard of anything?” Song Shujin placed his hands behind his back, pretending to lift them unintentionally.

”Is that so?” Gu Yicheng replied in shock, then revealed concern in his eyes: ”Father-in-law is still well, he was not hurt or scared by the thieves, right?”

”Thank you, Gu Xiang, for your concern. I am doing very well.” Yun Qinan's words were filled with anger.

Hearing her words, Gu Yicheng curbed his smile, shook his head and sighed, then began to ponder, ”Yun Xiang Mansion knew that such a serious matter had occurred because of the thieves entering Yun Xiang Mansion, and this sovereign only found out now, that cloud phase truly did not have any good intentions in marrying this duke.”

His highness and the Prime Minister's statuses were known, but the Prime Minister had married the, and the person whom his master would love to marry was the concubinage. Even though his mother was raised to become the mistress of the family, such an unwritten rule had never been heard of, and Gao Clan's people that clearly recognized the Qin family as the Madam of the cloud phase, and would always think that it was their concubine. The daughter she gave birth to was a direct daughter who could not be supported by Yun Qianliang.

”Gu Xiang is too serious, it's just a small matter, don't disturb too many people.” Yun Qinan calmed her emotions and maintained a serious attitude.

”cloud phase is a shallow father, I, as her son-in-law, should pay more attention. Otherwise, I would definitely blame myself for not taking her family to heart.”

”My daughter has never loved such red tape, and would inevitably lose her manners. I hope Gu Xiang will not take it to heart.” Yun Qinan pretended to be a good father and spoke up for his unfavoured daughter.

”Since my body has already improved greatly, why don't I bring my body back tomorrow to visit the cloud phase. I'll stay here for a few days to understand the feelings of a woman in the cloud phase, and my filial piety will be perfect.” Gu Yicheng stroked his chin, spoke to himself, and made his decision without giving Yun Qinan a chance to refute.

The three of them, who had always competed against each other, walked side by side. The officials at the back looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what was going on.

”Your Highness, could it be that between Gu Xiang and Jin Wang …” A thin and small official who was standing by the side of a middle-aged man dressed in the attire of the prince's residence felt extreme worry in his heart as he saw the group of people walking away.

”After all, the Gu Xiang is a loyal subject. There was no sign of panic between Duke Ming and Xiang Fengkai's brows, and only a hint of deep thought.

Gu Yicheng's strength could not be underestimated. Losing it to an unfavored direct daughter of the Yun Family was truly a loss.

”In the future, don't think too hard about court officials.” Xiang Fengkai reminded as he strode out of the palace.
