The prime minister hurriedly said: "Maybe this servant opened this place to entertain people alone when he saw someone coming to the door and couldn't refuse."
As he spoke, he winked at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper stepped forward and said to the people standing together: "Everyone, thank you for coming. Today is a family banquet at my house. I cannot entertain you. Please follow me and leave."
These people looked at each other. Some people did not speak due to the power of the prime minister, but their expressions were not very good.
They were all welcomed in in a serious manner. Although they did not have the status of the nobles in the front hall, they were not unknown people. It was really embarrassing to be chased away like dogs.
Immediately, some people were unconvinced, looked at the Prime Minister and sneered: "The Prime Minister is really a noble man who forgets things. In the past few years, he has come to your door every year and presented countless rare treasures, silver notes and gold, but he never thought that the Prime Minister would continue to do so.
I can’t even recognize this face, it’s so chilling.”
Anyway, everyone present here has the same purpose, so no one should laugh at anyone.
Especially at this moment, there are only the fifth prince and his wife in the backyard besides these people who are also being driven out, so it doesn't matter what they say.
These people didn't take the powerless couple seriously at all.
As soon as the first person expresses his dissatisfaction, the following people also start to speak.
"That's right, we give gifts to the Prime Minister's Mansion every year, not to mention the birthday banquet, and even every festival, we don't miss out. Unexpectedly, we end up being kicked out of the house."
"It's just that the prime minister forgets things and doesn't remember us. The young ladies in your household never frown when they go to my store to see some rare items. I think they must remember us."
Everyone said something to me, directly telling the Prime Minister that he would not come to the stage.
His eyes secretly glanced at Ye Yibai, and he felt a little relieved when he saw that the man had no reaction.
This person is stupid, he probably doesn't know anything.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Hua Yanxi say: "Having said that, I remembered it. No wonder why I said some of the faces are so familiar. It turns out that some of them were traveling with me, but how could I remember the strict order?
, the court officials are not allowed to have close contact with merchants, and the court officials are not allowed to receive heavy gifts? The gifts given by you must be extraordinary, right? "
"I don't know them at all. The people below must have made their own decisions! I immediately ordered people to investigate. If you have received heavy gifts, they will all be returned." The Prime Minister said immediately.
At this point, he certainly cannot deny the Prime Minister's Mansion's act of accepting gifts. Once he denies it, if Hua Yanxi goes to check today's gift list, it will only make the matter worse and can only evade the matter.
"It seems that the Prime Minister is not strict in running the family. He should be more disciplined in the future."
Hearing that Hua Yanxi just said this and did not hold on to this matter, the Prime Minister subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead. He still had the usual air of a first-class official in the imperial court.
"What the Fifth Princess said was that she was being negligent. She was being negligent. Please move to the front hall and take a seat. Several princes have already arrived."
At this time, several princes finally found this place and were a little confused when they saw the scene in front of them.
"Fifth brother, what happened?" The eldest prince Ye Chenxiao walked up to Ye Yibai, looked at the wrinkles in his clothes, and stretched out his hand to straighten them out.
Third Prince Ye Lingjun walked to his other side, looking at the not-so-good atmosphere at the moment, his soft eyebrows full of worry: "Xiao Wu, are you injured?"
