After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

The relationship has already been torn apart, so there is no need to continue with the disguised friendliness and pity.

Tong Wanzhen smiled softly and climbed up with her hands. She had fallen into the water twice and was already exhausted. She got up and fell down again. The maid tried to help her up but she blocked it. She supported herself with her palms on the ground, and a slight tingling sensation swept through her body. It was the place where she was pierced by her own fingertips. She even enjoyed the pain a little.

She fell twice before finally getting up, stroking her still flat belly with her eyebrows lowered, looking somewhat tender like a mother. But her makeup was all smudged, black and white smudged together, and when she suddenly laughed and looked up, she looked like an ugly joke.

She said, "Miss Wen, did you go to so much trouble just to expose the scandal of my secret pregnancy? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm not pregnant with anything shameful. It's a royal heir, such a glorious thing for the family. I wish everyone knew about it! If Miss Wen had told me, I would have actively cooperated. Why make such a fuss? Don't you agree?"

Yu Qingqing was dumbfounded, "How shameless...even worse than those girls in the brothels."

"Face?" Tong Wan really seemed to have heard a funny joke, "Is it useful to have face? She, Tong Yuhan, has a face. How long have the Qin and Tong families discussed the marriage? Has His Majesty agreed? She! She, Wen Qian, has a face. She likes someone but hides it and dares not even say it. She is afraid of her bad reputation and the blame of the elders. She even instigated her to hang herself many times... Coward! Those who have a face are all cowards——"

"Snapped!"

An exceptionally loud slap interrupted Tong Wanzhen's incoherent words.

The slap was so heavy that Tong Wanzhen was shaken and even had a buzzing sound in one ear. Soon, her pale cheek became red and swollen.

It was Yuan Ge who hit him.

No one expected that Yuan Ge, who had been crossing her arms and watching the show, would suddenly attack. The slap was fast, accurate, and fierce. After the slap, she even felt her palms go numb. She shook her palms and said, "You owe this slap for all the days and nights when people poked your spine and scolded you."

As soon as he finished speaking, "Pa!" another slap came.

This time, he was more familiar with the move. He changed his hand and stared at Tong Wanzhen, who was stunned by the two slaps, with a cold face. He pressed the corners of his mouth. In the cold wind, the little girl in a bright-colored long skirt had a kind of domineering sharpness and beauty, "You still owe this slap. The money spent on you should be used to buy meat buns and feed the dogs on the roadside. Feeding a dog may still wag its tail at you, but feeding you... will only feed your wolfish ambitions."

Tong Wanzhen, who was beaten so hard that her eyes were full of stars, shook her head. She had never been so embarrassed before. She could see her swollen cheeks without looking in the mirror. There was a constant buzzing in her ears, which made her upset. She was determined to fight Yuan Ge to the death. Before she could take a step, her collar was grabbed by Lin Mu behind her, holding her like a chicken.

"Pa!" Another slap, just as clean and sharp.

Jin Yunian and Yu Qingqing both gasped - little sister-in-law/her Qianqian is so domineering! Zhong Wei had already turned her head away, unable to bear to watch, and Li Yushuang had stood beside Shiyin without knowing when - she wanted to leave, but was reluctant to leave, torn between reason and gossip.

As for Xu Chengjin, it was nothing strange. The reason why this damn girl could endure for so long was because she was "new here and unfamiliar with the place."

Song Wenyuan... Lord Song stood aside from beginning to end, with one hand behind his back, neither intervening nor interrupting. This kind of silent acquiescence was actually a kind of indulgence, as if it would not matter even if Yuan Ge poked a hole in the sky at this moment.

Only this time, Yuan Ge didn't say anything. He just tilted his head and looked at the other person's embarrassed appearance. After a long while, he said, "Forget it, I can't think of any words. So let it be, I simply don't like this face and want to hit him." He was not right, but he was still angry.

Tong Wanzhen's cheek was so swollen that she couldn't even open her eyes. She stretched her neck and yelled at Yuan Ge, punching and kicking, "Wen, Qian! You will not die well! You will not die well!"

Yuan Ge, who had already turned around, paused for a moment, turned back, and said with a smile, "Didn't you always say that I was a fierce ghost that crawled out from the bottom of the water to take your life? If I am a fierce ghost, I must be the wronged soul that did not have a good end in the past, so I can crawl out from the eighteen levels of hell to take your life..."

Wen Qian, who watched helplessly as the pool water slowly submerged his breath and covered his head, certainly did not have a "good death".

Yuan Ge picked his ears and muttered, "Lin Mu, it's so noisy."

The roar stopped abruptly, leaving only a faint whimper.

Yu Qingqing frowned slightly, looked at Yuan Ge who seemed to be suddenly shrouded in melancholy, and changed the subject, "I thought the third slap was a favor she owed you."

"Favor?" Yuan Ge raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled after a while, with a bit of carefreeness and relief. "Favor is something that only becomes particularly precious when I treasure it. Now that I feel disgusted when I look at her, that bit of favor is worthless. Just treat it as a fart and let it go... Only the money that was actually spent, when I think about it now, I still feel pain, and still feel that I was as stupid as a pig back then. I wish I could slap her a few more times."

Girls from aristocratic families have their own way of speaking, and words like "fart" are not suitable to be used.

She said this while looking up at the sky with an infinitely melancholy look on her face. Her expression was so serious and funny at the same time.

Yu Qingqing laughed cheerfully and slapped Yuan Ge on the shoulder. Yuan Ge staggered. Then she looked at the sky outside the wall with a serious and funny expression, and said earnestly, "It's good that you can recognize your past self so clearly... As the saying goes, it's never too late to turn back."

Yuan Ge staggered again. She always felt that the sound of the person dragging out the words "it's never too late to turn back" was somewhat familiar. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to follow it with an "Amitabha".

The two jokers broke the heavy atmosphere. Song Wenyuan pulled Yuan Ge from someone's clutches to his side with a bit of force, and then ordered Lin Mu, "Send Miss Tong back. According to the young lady's instructions, tell Madam Tong everything that happened here in detail. By the way, tell Madam Tong that the two Japanese gentlemen will come to visit in person and ask why Miss Tong was so sure that my wife would kill her when she was in a trance... I wonder if there are any new or old grudges that have not been settled yet."
