The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!

Ruru became happy, "That’s great, thank you, Grandmother."

Old Madam Tian looked at Ruru’s simple and adorable smile, feeling delighted. Being with the energetic Ruru made her feel young again.

When Xie Heng returned, Ruru chirped about today’s events to him, mainly praising Grandmother’s kindness and generosity.

Xie Heng knew in his heart that his mother disliked Ruru, and was merely trying to find ways to torment her.

After dinner, he went alone to his mother’s courtyard.

Mrs. Ruan was very pleased to see Xie Heng come, pulling him to ask many questions.

Xie Heng answered warmly, then said, "Today I went to the Ministry of Revenue and met Lord Chief Minister."

Mrs. Ruan was taken aback, remembering that the Lord Chief Minister was Ruru’s older brother. She asked, "What happened?"

Xie Heng spoke directly, "Lord Chief Minister said that I should treat Ruru well."

"If I dare to upset her even slightly, he would send me off to some godforsaken place to be a County Magistrate."

Mrs. Ruan was speechless, "How could he do that?"

Xie Heng shook his head, "He’s the Lord Chief Minister; transferring a sixth-rank official like me is a piece of cake for him."

"If he really gets angry, it’s possible he’d strip me of my position."

Mrs. Ruan frowned, "Your grandfather is also in the Cabinet, would he really dare disregard your grandfather’s standing?"

Xie Heng smiled, "Mother, let me tell you, of the five elders in the Cabinet, even if the other four were combined, they wouldn’t be a match for the Lord Chief Minister."

"The Emperor’s trust in the Lord Chief Minister is unmatched by anyone else."

Mrs. Ruan’s expression turned unpleasant, "Well, I’ve never seen such a brother-in-law."

"He even dares to threaten you!"

Xie Heng replied, "The Lord Chief Minister deeply cares for his sister."

"Oh, by the way, while I’m not home during the day, please take good care of Ruru and make sure she stays happy."

Mrs. Ruan felt uneasy, "She’s the daughter-in-law; I’m the mother-in-law — shouldn’t she be the one caring for me?"

Xie Heng sighed, "I just fear that if Ruru becomes unhappy and complains at home, the Lord Chief Minister might send me to a remote area and take Ruru back to the Duke Mansion. That would be difficult."

Mrs. Ruan breathed heavily in anger, but what could she do? Wage a contest with the Lord Chief Minister?

After a moment, she said, "I understand, I will take good care of your wife."

Xie Heng bowed to Mrs. Ruan, "Thank you, Mother."

After speaking, he leisurely left.

Once he left, Mrs. Ruan said to the nanny beside her, "I always feel Heng’s words are somewhat exaggerated; where in the world would there be such a brother-in-law?"

The nanny smiled, "Madam, it’s hard to say. Think about how generous Young Madam’s dowry was; it shows just how cherished she is by her family."

Mrs. Ruan said angrily, "This is exactly why I was hesitant about this marriage alliance; marrying a daughter-in-law of high status who’s spoiled by her family, even I, the mother-in-law, have to watch her mood!"

The nanny, a sensible person, gently advised, "This marriage alliance is actually quite advantageous. Madam, consider that marrying the Lord Chief Minister’s sister means that Young Master’s future is assured."

"If Master ever wants to return to Xiang City in the future, it’s likely just a matter of a word from the Lord Chief Minister."

Mrs. Ruan gradually calmed down, "You have a point."

The nanny stood behind Mrs. Ruan, silently thinking that most of the young master’s words were likely fabricated.

This is where Young Master’s cleverness lies; this way, his wife’s life is more pleasant, and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts are resolved.

Therefore, as long as a mother-in-law genuinely cares for her son, and the son truly cares for his wife, there’s no conflict that can’t be resolved.
