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

Not long after, the Tong family's housekeeper came out with a few maids. Their attitude was much better than before, and they were almost humble. They said that their prime minister had gone out and his wife was ill and could not see guests, so they would take the second young lady back and settle her down first, and tell the prime minister everything when he came back.

Lin Mu didn't care. He still maintained his arrogant attitude of looking down on everyone equally and nodded slightly. "That's fine. The commander is still waiting for me to report back, so I will tell him the truth and wait for the good news from Prime Minister Tong."

He said a sentence that even he found difficult to understand, but when he saw the other party lowering his head and responding hesitantly, he felt that although it was a bit difficult to understand, it was still effective in bluffing people.

……

Yuan Ge had no idea what happened to Tong Wanzhen after she returned to the Tong family. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, she claimed to be a little tired and went to rest. Before going to bed, she also ordered the servants to clean up the lotus pond. Miss Yuan said she didn't want to raise lotus anymore, but fish.

Yuan Ge slept for less than an hour, and when he woke up, the sky had changed.

The news that the concubine of the Tong family was pregnant swept through the streets of Shengjing City like the most violent snowstorm in winter. The lines of greeting between neighbors changed from "Have you eaten?" to "Whose?"

Whose? They soon found the answer. Although they didn't know where it came from, all the information was surprisingly consistent - the current Second Prince. Not only did they find the answer, they also created more answers themselves, even the pregnancy, which showed that they had been hanging out for more than a day or two. At that time, the heroine of "Two or Three Things Between Miss Wen and the Second Prince" might have changed.

"Poor thing! No wonder everyone says Wen Qian is gentle and easy to talk to. Now she's being criticized by so many people, but she doesn't even have a word of explanation. She's hiding these secrets for her best friend... It's really hard for her." This is a very imaginative expression.

"This doesn't make sense. Why was she trying to commit suicide? How many people saw her jumping off the Suzaku Bridge? It couldn't be fake." This is a skeptical person.

"Need I say more? In that situation, even if the servants of the Wen family went out, you would point at their noses, scold them and spit on them. She is only a teenage girl, do you expect her to be happy and prepare for her marriage?"

This statement made a lot of sense, and the people understood it instantly, "Poor little girl, she has no way to defend herself in the end... In the end, she just met the wrong person!"

"Meeting the wrong person is a bummer!"

In the private room of Sanpinju, Qin Yongpei stared at the old slave in front of him with a dark face, almost speaking harshly, "How could she be pregnant?! Didn't Huihui tell you to watch her drink the contraceptive soup? How could there be such a big mistake?! What do you say we should do now? With this kind of publicity, it's only a matter of time before the news reaches the ears of the emperor!"

The old man stood there rubbing his hands, feeling embarrassed. "I did watch her, but she is a girl after all. She said she had finished drinking, and the bottom of the bowl was exposed to me... I can't check her body again, right? Now that I think about it, she must have secretly vomited into her handkerchief."

Qin Yongpei would not really punish the old man who had served him for many years for his poor performance. He was just upset and couldn't say anything nice. He supported his head with one hand and waved the other hand casually, saying to the mess on the ground, "Clean it up quickly! I thought it was a brainless vase... I didn't expect it to have this trick. This prince also has times when he makes mistakes... Father finally showed signs of loosening up on the marriage between the two families, but now, something has gone wrong here!"

The old man who was picking up the broken porcelain pieces looked up from the ground, carefully avoided the mess and walked closer, "Your Highness... In my opinion, this is not a bad thing."

Not bad? Qin Yongpei raised his eyelids and looked over. His face was stinky and black.

The old man chuckled and tried to comfort her, "Think about it, His Majesty was not happy about your marriage with the Tong family. Now that Miss Tong is pregnant, everyone knows about it. What does it matter? Miss Tong is not married yet. It's normal for the love to be so deep that it's hard to restrain. Now that she's pregnant, just take her back in a sedan chair! After all, Miss Tong is also a daughter of the Tong family. Unless Miss Tong marries into the royal family again, otherwise, Prime Minister Tong will have to stand on His Highness' side. Even if he doesn't want to...but, will anyone believe it?"

The last sentence sounded almost creepily gentle.

Qin Yongpei once again looked at the old man beside him. He had thick black hair... fake hair, and a few sparse gray beards on his chin, which were getting fewer and fewer. His back had long been unable to straighten up, and the thumb of the hand holding the broken porcelain pieces was trembling faintly, but his cloudy eyes were still as kind as ever.

This is the old man Dequan who lives beside him, the old man who held him and coaxed him to sleep since he was a child, who understands all his likes and dislikes, knows all his unknown secrets and ambitions, and of course, has also seen all his tears and fragility.

Qin Yongpei sighed softly and reached out to take the porcelain piece from the other person's hand. Dequan was so scared that he quickly pulled his hand away and accidentally cut his fingertips... The bright red was dazzling, so Qin Yongpei didn't take it. "Bandage it yourself, wait for the waiter to clean up the floor, and pay some money..."

He thought for a moment and added, "Please make arrangements. I want to meet Prime Minister Tong in the next two days."

"Yes……"

Qin Yongpei leaned back in his chair and looked out the window at the narrow patch of sky with dark clouds gradually gathering. He clenched his teeth and after a while, he couldn't help but cursed again, "I met the wrong person... bullshit!"

This time, she was the instigator!

……

At dinner time, the wind started to blow and the temperature dropped noticeably.

Aunt Gui prepared a table of delicious dishes and placed them in the house. She also heated a pot of hot wine for the first time, saying that it was the custom in their hometown to get rid of bad luck and bring good luck in the future. Yuan Ge was happy to accept the old lady's kindness, and pulled Aunt Gui to sit with him, adding a wine cup, saying that they wanted to have a drink to celebrate the good luck in the future.

When Song Wenyuan came in with a black box, he saw the little girl holding Aunt Gui's arm with her eyes and eyebrows smiling, real, lovely, and caring. No wonder Aunt Gui treated her like her own granddaughter.

"I heard you prescribed herbal tea for Aunt Gui?" He put down the box in his hand and asked casually, "Did you learn it new?"

Aunt Gui didn't even think about it, and praised her as if she was praising her own granddaughter, "Of course! Master Xu saw us this morning. He looked at the young lady's medicinal tea recipe and praised her, saying that there is no one more talented than the young lady!"

Yuan Ge, who was about to stand up to pour the wine, was startled and his hands were shaking...
