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

Even the guests present suspected that Miss Wen had been so angry that she started talking nonsense.

"Nonsense." Wen Changling scolded in a calm voice, neither too light nor too heavy, neither too real nor too fake, even the expression of indistinguishable joy and anger was imitated perfectly, "Don't be rude in front of guests."

However, Yuan Ge didn't care. After saying that, he turned around and looked at Song Wenyuan with a smile, "Husband, what do you think?"

Proud and arrogant.

Song Wenyuan was scooping silverfish soup for her. Hearing this, he handed the porcelain bowl to her and said with a smile, "Song will not let Madam have this opportunity. Not to mention a lover, even a lover, a mistress, a concubine, none of them... Not only that, if Madam wants to do such dirty things as murder and robbery... Song is willing to do it for her."

The guests looked at each other and finally understood why the Miss Wen, who was said to have a good temper, be easy to get along with and be as soft as a persimmon, seemed to have been reborn - she was spoiled.

She picked up the dishes, scooped the soup, and did all the murders and robberies for her. She was also guaranteed to be the only one in this inner house and backyard for her whole life. Anyone else would be spoiled by her favor, right?

But this still didn't sound "earthly" enough. Which couple would brazenly put such a "murder and robbery" deal on the table? Even Wen Changling didn't know what to say for a moment... But Wen Yizhuo blinked and asked innocently, "So, the person aunt loves is uncle?" His voice was not low, and his pronunciation was clear, which brought the topic back to the topic.

Yes, isn’t it the sweetheart?

Xu Chengjin, who had been drinking alone with his head down, suddenly looked up. My sweetheart...

Sweetheart? Yuan Ge touched the little guy's head and chuckled, "The heart is so small, how can I put anyone in it casually? As your aunt, I have seen people treat other people very well, so I will naturally not take some ordinary appearances, boring souls, and verbal promises to heart. As for your uncle... If he can really keep his promises for decades, then I will definitely keep him in my heart."

Xu Chengjin was slightly stunned, then lowered his head and smiled bitterly, but he felt relieved as he smiled... Well, Song Wenyuan could give what he couldn't afford. Since that kid could say these words in public, it was not a problem for him to have been doing it for decades.

The way Lord Song said "OK" in a calm voice was so gentle that it seemed as if water could drown in his eyes.

This look hurt Tong Wanzhen all of a sudden. The last bit of her rationality was torn and destroyed by the pain brought by the hidden scars on her body. She suddenly took a step back, pointed at Yuan Ge with a pale face and roared, "Nonsense! You are talking nonsense! Lord Song, don't listen to her nonsense. She just likes the Second Prince so much that she is willing to die to force her stepmother to enter the palace and kneel to the Queen! It just so happens that the Queen and the Second Prince both look down on her, Wen Qian, so there is a marriage between your Wen and Song families——"

Qin Yongpei slammed the table and roared, "Tong Wanzhen! Shut up!"

Tong Wanzhen's last bit of rationality returned instantly, and she shook her head with a pale face... She knew that she had ruined Qin Yongpei's plan.

Qin Yongpei wanted to sow discord between the Wen and Song families, but now... I'm afraid it will backfire.

She is finished.

No one spoke. In the silence, even Yuan Ge was visibly stunned. He slowly turned his neck to look at the woman next to Wen Changling. The older woman was wearing a low-key and decent dress. Her hair was meticulously combed. Her face was well-maintained and there was no trace of fine lines when she was not smiling. She didn't like to smile. Whether it was Wen Qian or Yuan Ge, they seemed to have never seen her smile in their memories... The stepmother left in the memory of the deceased was always a lukewarm and indifferent look. There was no contradiction, but there was no closeness, just like strangers living under the same roof.

But now Tong Wanzhen said... For a moment, Yuan Ge couldn't tell whether the sour feeling bubbling in his heart was his own empathy or the instinct of Wen Qian's body, "Mother..." she called, her voice trembling.

Yuan Ge once thought that fate had been so kind to her, allowing her to be reborn after death. But fate was so cruel that she had no chance to be mother and daughter in both of her lives...

The man on the other side was still as indifferent as ever. After a while, he finally sighed and said, "It's all in the past... Let's not talk about it anymore."

"Then you...then why didn't you ever say anything?"

"It was my first time being a stepmother... before I became a mother." Madam Wen said softly, her voice was clear but soft, like the patient Wu dialect, "Ningning was still in my belly at that time. They all say that it is difficult to be a stepmother... If it was my own child, and she made a mistake, I would beat her or scold her, and even if she hated me, she would have to call me mother. But you are different, I don't know how to treat you."

"You've grown up and have your own ideas, but you never tell us... People say that you won't marry anyone but the Second Prince." Madam Wen smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that." "Although I've always felt that you're too gentle and the royal family is too complicated, and the Second Prince is not a good match. But when people say that, and you don't say anything, after discussing it with your father, I still think that I should fulfill your wish... I didn't expect that my stepmother's intentions would become a stain that you were attacked and criticized by others in the end."

The last half of the sentence was said while looking at Tong Wanzhen, with a hint of subtle sarcasm in the gentleness.

The cup was gently placed on the table, and with a "tap" sound, it was particularly clear in the quiet front yard. Lord Song leaned back in his chair with a cold face and looked at Wen Changling, "Father-in-law, I would like to dare to be the master in the Wen Mansion."

Wen Changling pressed his lips together and nodded silently.

Song Wenyuan glanced at Qin Yongpei, "The Wen family is celebrating the birth of a new member, so everyone who comes is a welcome guest. But this woman was so aggressive and confrontational the moment she arrived. My wife is kind-hearted, and she gave in again and again in public, but she didn't know how to behave and kept pressing on. She not only tarnished my wife's reputation, but also tarnished Madam Wen's reputation, and ruined the reputation of both the Wen and Song families. It's really abominable! Lin Mu, kick her out... Remember to be gentle, and don't hurt the heir in her belly."

After saying that, he raised his lips slightly, his eyes flashed coldly, and he looked at Qin Yongpei and asked, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, you won't blame me, right?"

Qin Yongpei clenched his teeth and tried to make up for his loss with a fake smile, "Wanzhen was drunk and offended you all with her nonsense. It would be good to take her out to sober her up. Lord Wen, this prince was disrespectful today. I will take my leave first and apologize another day."

Wen Changling smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. The girl is drunk and talking nonsense. No one will take it seriously... Second Prince, take care. I won't see you off."
