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

Lin Mu dealt with Si Ping and had Ling'er taken away. The news that the deputy director of the Maritime Customs had hired someone to kill someone spread like wildfire.

Madam Wen had caught a cold these past two days. She went to bed early, got up late, and seldom left the yard. When she heard the news from the servants, she knew it was a false alarm, but she was still scared. This little girl has been in trouble every few days since she got married. Before, she was just causing trouble on her own, but now, she is making even more trouble.

This marriage is not satisfactory after all...

It was past noon when Song Wenyuan brought Yuan Ge back to the mansion. There were so many eyes staring at them. Commander Song entered the mansion carrying the unconscious girl from the carriage, saying that she was injured. Not long after that, Master Xu rushed into the mansion of Marquis Kejing... He was obviously out of control, and he stumbled when he entered the door and almost fell.

However, the fact is that Master Xu looked at the little girl lying on the recliner, enjoying the rain in a leisurely manner, gritted his teeth, and asked with his cheeks stiff, "Are you hurt?"

The little girl nodded, lowered her eyes, pointed to the side of her shoulder, and said lightly, "It's just a minor skin injury."

It was just a minor skin injury, so it wouldn't be a problem for Miss Yuan. Xu Chengjin tightened his teeth again, feeling that the staggering at the door was somewhat worthless, and said with a suppressed voice, "Unconscious?"

The little girl laughed, pointed at the chair beside her, and said, "I was too exhausted last night, and fell asleep when the carriage was bumpy on the way back. The rumors outside are mostly rumors, why did you take it seriously? If I was really unconscious, someone would have come to ask you out long ago. How could I let you hear this news from others?"

The drizzle never stops, the rain hitting the leaves and flowers, it is so quiet and leisurely, Wen Xiaobai curled up at Yuan Ge's feet and slept soundly, it seems to be very spiritual, the puppy that used to be noisy to be held is surprisingly quiet and obedient today. Xu Chengjin sat on another chair, there was a small table between them, he looked at her sideways, it was a familiar scene, only the person in front of him had a different face, adding a bit of strangeness.

There was an unspoken understanding between them. Neither of them mentioned it, and neither of them deliberately concealed it. At this moment, it was like old friends who had met again after many years of separation, and they said a word to each other, "Is it painful?" He looked at her sideways for a long time, and couldn't help but asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Yuan Ge thought he was asking about the wound on his shoulder and was about to nod when he heard him say in a hoarse voice, "Did it hurt... that day?"

After all, he was the one who broke the last piece of window paper first.

Yuan Ge lowered his eyebrows and stroked the teacup in his hand. After a while, he handed it behind him and ordered, "The tea is cold, go and change it."

Shiyin retreated in response, and Yuan Ge looked at Xu Chengjin. On his delicate androgynous skin, he had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. He usually had a somewhat romantic smile, but also a bit of a bad smile. Now he looked at her without saying anything, and he was rarely serious and serious. Yuan Ge withdrew her gaze. Without the cup in her hand, she played with her fingernails and whispered after a while, "It hurts... The snake cave at the bottom of the cliff, I will die without a complete body."

Xu Chengjin's heart twitched violently, his whole body ached, he trembled with pain, and his lips turned as white as paper.

When Xu Chengjin knew that Wen Qian was Yuan Ge, he was in a daze for a while. He was puzzled, homesick, and even more afraid that it was just a dream, and when he woke up, the person would no longer exist in the world.

Yuan Ge was different to him. This difference could distinguish her from anyone else. He respected her, valued her, admired her, envied her, and also... loved her, the kind of love that one would only take one scoop out of three thousand rivers. But he... was destined to not be able to take only that one scoop in this life. Ten thousand years before he had a glance at her on Zhixuan Mountain, he was already a famous romantic nobleman in Shengjing City, passing through a sea of ​​flowers without getting a single leaf on him.

He loves Yuan Ge, but he dares not love her, nor can he afford to love her. He hides his feelings in his heart. After hiding them for a long time, he becomes numb. He can't even explain what Yuan Ge means to him. He only knows that she is more important than anyone else...

The hot tea was quickly served. Shiyin was nervous about her young lady, not realizing that this was just Yuan Ge's excuse to get her away. She even ran away, gasping for breath.

Xu Chengjin bent down and picked up Wen Xiaobai. He didn't care that the dog was sleeping soundly. He picked him up and rubbed his head, as if to relieve the depression in his heart. After rubbing him, he leaned back to enjoy the rain, and belatedly cared about another person, "Where's Song Wenyuan? Is he okay?"

Compared to the time when Mr. Xu almost fell at the door, the concern at this moment was not only late, but also perfunctory, just like a piece of onion that one casually picked and bargained for when buying vegetables.

"I went to see Yao Yunfeng. He said he would be back soon." Yuan Ge huddled in the recliner, pulled up the thin blanket on his body, and said, "Nothing's wrong for now. I'm using acupuncture to suppress his pain. I'm just short of a few herbs. I'll write to you later. Please keep an eye out for me."

"Okay." Song Wenyuan came back as he spoke, and the topic came to an abrupt end.

Lord Song put away his oil-paper umbrella and rolled up his sleeves. When he saw the "uninvited guest" in the courtyard, he was curious about how the two people who seemed to be at odds with each other before now seemed to be getting along so well. He asked casually, "Why are you here?"

"Why am I here?" Xu Chengjin rolled his eyes very obviously, and it seemed that his pupils were about to pop out of their sockets. His former confidant and good friend now seemed even more unbearable to his eyes. He snorted, "Last night, I had already gone to bed, and your Aunt Gui knocked on my door and told me that you had agreed to come back home for dinner, and that you had not been seen in the middle of the night, so she asked me to help look for you. So... I braved the heavy rain and walked all over the street looking for you."

He confidently changed all the "you" to "you", counting on his fingers as he settled accounts with Song Wenyuan, "I went to Zuihuan Tower, Sanpinju, and even your broken prison. I arranged people in every street and alley. I had so few people, but I almost turned Shengjing City upside down last night! In the end, I found those bodies at the foot of Wuxi Mountain. I almost turned Wuxi Mountain upside down! Fortunately, Lin Mu came, so I went back to the mansion to rest. Not long after I lay down, I heard that you were injured, so I came here without stopping!"

"Look and smell my clothes that got wet in the rain yesterday. I haven't changed yet. Do they smell?" He held his collar and moved closer to Song Wenyuan, trying to show him how tired he was after running around all night, and how aggrieved he was at being despised. "And yet you asked me why I came... Could I not come? Tell me yourself, could I not come?"

"I didn't say I couldn't let you come..." Song Wenyuan frowned and stepped back. He really didn't know why this man was so angry. It was simply unreasonable.
