Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable Chapter 1194 - 1104: Lady Prime Minister 42

Mrs. Wang was pouring water to make tea, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes sowhat vacant, and she accidentally poured too much tea.

A drop of water splashed onto her hand, causing Mrs. Wang to inhale sharply from the burn, instantly snapping back to reality.

Sitting across from Mrs. Wang, Yin Zheng imdiately stood up, grabbed Mrs. Wang’s hand, and carefully examined the spot where she was burned. Seeing that it was just slightly red and not really burned, he finally relaxed.

"What were you thinking? How dare you space out while pouring hot water? If you really burned your hand, you’d be in pain."

Yin Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang with a face full of helplessness: "In the future, if you want to think about things, don’t do any work. If you want to do sothing, just tell to do it, otherwise, what am I, your husband, here for?"

Mrs. Wang’s cheeks flushed slightly: "It was just a small burn, I have thick skin, getting burned a little is no big deal, why are you pampering like this?"

"Thick skin? Where is it thick? Let see, this hand is actually very white and tender. My wife’s hand is really beautiful."

Mrs. Wang patted the back of Yin Zheng’s hand and purposely chided, "Is it only my hand that’s nice looking, nowhere else?"

"Who said that? My wife not only has beautiful hands, but her face is also beautiful, and everything looks good." Yin Zheng replied imdiately without thinking.

On the side, wanting to check her mother’s hand for burns, was Yin Shuangshuang, who was left speechless by Yin Zheng’s display of affection. Please, she’s still here, don’t treat her as invisible.

However, it wasn’t the first ti Mrs. Wang beca distracted. Previously, when Yin Shuangshuang didn’t want to eat, Mrs. Wang, who hadn’t cooked for a long ti, wanted to make the sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root that Yin Shuangshuang loved most, and she beca distracted again.

She kept adding firewood to the stove, burning the food, and almost burning through the bottom of the pot. If it weren’t for Chen Family’s quick discovery, there would definitely have been an incident.

Yin Shuangshuang was sure that Mrs. Wang had sothing on her mind, and sothing big as well. Originally, Yin Shuangshuang didn’t want to pry into Mrs. Wang’s privacy, but now she couldn’t help but ask.

"Mother, what is bothering you? You’re always spacing out like this, what if sothing happens one day? Whatever it is, just say it, your daughter can help solve it. You have to believe that your daughter is very capable."

Mrs. Wang couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Yin Shuangshuang with loving eyes: "Mother knows you have skills, but this matter can’t be solved just by your skills."

"How would you know it can’t be solved if you don’t say it? If daughter can’t, there’s still , the husband.

Although I’m not as capable as our daughter, at least I can share the burden with you. If you keep your worries to yourself, do you know how much that worries and Shuangshuang?"

Yin Zheng was also very anxious. He had long seen that Mrs. Wang had sothing on her mind, but whenever he asked, Mrs. Wang would always smile and shake her head saying she was fine, and Yin Zheng did not want to pressure her, so it had dragged on until now.

The smile on Mrs. Wang’s face disappeared, and she lowered her head and was silent for a long while, then looked up and with so difficulty, pulled her lips into a smile, finally sighing.

"I have been hiding sothing from you; in fact, I have not lost my mory. I rember everything from the past, every experience since I was a child."

Yin Shuangshuang and Yin Zheng’s expressions were very calm, with no hint of surprise.

Seeing their calm expressions, Mrs. Wang was first slightly surprised, then quickly understood that her husband and daughter had already smartly guessed that she had not lost her mory, only tactfully never saying so.

A warm feeling washed over Mrs. Wang’s heart, having such a caring husband and daughter made her life worthwhile, and the past she had always been reluctant to vocalize suddenly didn’t seem so hard to say.

"Actually, I am the illegitimate daughter of the current Pri Minister." Mrs. Wang finally revealed the identity she had kept hidden for a long ti.

Yin Shuangshuang and Yin Zheng were both a bit shocked, with Yin Zheng astonished to have married a Pri Minister’s daughter, unbelievable!

Yin Shuangshuang, after recovering from her shock, was at a loss for words; she had unexpectedly ford such a complicated bond with soone as powerful as the Pri Minister.

With a retired forr Pri Minister as an old acquaintance, she suddenly learned that her own mother was the daughter of the current Pri Minister.

However, upon hearing Mrs. Wang reveal her identity, Yin Shuangshuang understood why Mrs. Wang had been so distressed recently.

This current Pri Minister, Wang Zhongxuan, had just been defeated in a political struggle with other ministers, sothing typical, as throughout history, those who reached the level of Pri Minister rarely held the position for long.

The position being highly precarious and fraught with responsibilities makes it easy for things to go wrong; besides, an Emperor would not permit a Pri Minister to remain too long.

Since the power held in that position was vast, a long-standing Pri Minister would inevitably gather many followers, consciously or unconsciously competing with the Emperor for authority.

Therefore, unless the Emperor is incapable or indifferent to governance, a power-loving Emperor would not allow a Pri Minister to remain in place for long.

Most often, those who step down from the position of Pri Minister either sensed the Emperor’s intent and resigned themselves, or they were ousted and demoted following political struggles.

There was even a famous minister in the previous dynasty who served as Pri Minister seven tis, with his longest term being twelve years and his shortest just a year.

But Pri Minister Wang Zhongxuan’s case was unfortunate; after his downfall, he wasn’t simply demoted or sent away, but was ordered to have his family assets confiscated.

It was said that Wang Zhongxuan’s own younger brother leveraged his brother’s na to buy and sell official positions, committing nurous misdeeds, which implicated and brought ruin to Pri Minister Wang Zhongxuan.

Now Wang Zhongxuan’s two sons have been executed due to the brother’s scandal, leaving only Wang Zhongxuan and two grandchildren, who are now imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. It’s said that Wang Zhongxuan’s wife hanged herself on the day their ho was confiscated.

It’s evident that Pri Minister Wang Zhongxuan’s downfall left his family ruined, an incident so notorious that even Yin Shuangshuang knew about it.

If Mrs. Wang really is the daughter of the defeated Pri Minister Wang Zhongxuan, it’s no wonder she had been preoccupied and absent-minded these past days.

Yet, Yin Shuangshuang’s concern was not for Wang Zhongxuan; her first reaction was to question Mrs. Wang: "Since Mother is the daughter of the Pri Minister, how did you end up being sold as a slave?"

This was what Yin Shuangshuang cared about most; for a distinguished lady from the Pri Minister’s Mansion, even as an illegitimate daughter, her status was more noble than so legitimate daughters of other officials. How could she end up in such a plight, there must be so outrageous explanation.

The situation surely involved household strife, but for the conflict to lead to Mrs. Wang, a rightful lady of the Pri Minister’s Mansion, being sold into human trafficking was absurd.

For inner courtyards to be in such chaos that a daughter could be sold, it seems Wang Zhongxuan was not only lacking as an official but as a family head as well.

Moreover, for Mrs. Wang to have been sold off for so long without Wang Zhongxuan, the father, sending anyone to look for her, made Yin Shuangshuang have no favorable impression of Wang Zhongxuan, this unseen grandfather.
