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

Qin Yongpei stood up and left with a cold face. When he passed by Yuan Ge, he looked back. For some reason, he suddenly remembered what Tong Wanzhen had said.

She said Wen Qian was dead.

Tong Wanzhen was never a smart person. She was greedy and timid. She would scare herself when she did something wrong. Qin Yongpei didn't believe in any supernatural powers. If there were evil ghosts seeking revenge in this world, it wouldn't be Tong Wanzhen's turn...

However, the absence of resurrected evil spirits does not mean that there are no “resurrected” living people.

Everyone said that Wen Qian was like a different person... Usually, such words were meaningless, but what if she really was a different person this time? Qin Yongpei had seen Wen Qian before. When that girl saw him, she would blush and dare not breathe, as if she was about to faint at any moment. Her admiration was written all over her face, and she thought she was hiding it well.

Now, he is really like two different people.

Before leaving, he whispered to his confidant, "Go check who Song Wenyuan had contact with during the period before and after the wedding of Song and Wen." Wen Qian was weird, and Song Wenyuan was also weird. How long after getting married, two people who didn't like each other could kill and rob for each other and leave the backyard empty? If Wen Qian really changed, it could only be Song Wenyuan's trick.

After Qin Yongpei left, the atmosphere instantly warmed up. The guests stood up and toasted, congratulating the eldest young master on the birth of his son, although this congratulation seemed a little late, as the son could speak in a baby voice and was very funny. They also congratulated Lord Wen on finding a good son-in-law, although this congratulation also sounded a little late, after all, the wedding had been over for a long time. In the end, they could only wish Lord Song and his wife to have a baby soon.

Lin'er's father was only concerned with persuading Xu Chengjin to drink the whole time. Lin'er's father was a very particular person, and he had to find a reason for his toast, as if this way the other party would not know that he was deliberately trying to get him drunk. The reasons for his toasts were also very strange, ranging from "I have heard that Mr. Xu is a great doctor" to "I have long admired Mr. Xu's reputation as a man of character."

It doesn't seem like I've admired you for a long time, but rather like I have a grudge against you.

Jin Yunian was an active and greedy person. No matter who came to toast him or for what reason, he would go up and join in. After two or three cups, he became tongue-tied and talked about the unfortunate guy who came from nowhere, and slurred words about how his sister-in-law came down from the sky and saved him from suffering on that night when it was pouring rain... Even Yuan Ge couldn't stand the exaggeration of his words, so he shook his head and left to get some fresh air.

She still couldn't understand why Song Wenyuan, who was so steady, had two best friends who were more erratic and unreliable than the other, and she didn't know how they got along so well.

She found a nice spot by the lake and sat down. The almost boiling noise in the front yard gradually faded away. The cool autumn breeze blew over the lake, leaving a pool of golden halo. She sat against the stone beside her and was in a daze for a while. She picked up the small stones around her and threw them into the artificial lake from time to time. She looked at the ripples of different sizes and chuckled to herself.

There were footsteps beside me, slow and gentle, with the hem of my skirt dragging on the ground, followed by the girl's unhurried voice, "Whenever I meet you, you are like a frightened bird, always hunching your shoulders and hunching your back... It's as if all of us want to hurt you. It's rare to see you so leisurely and lazy... Father said you have changed a lot, but I didn't believe it at first."

As the words fell, the footsteps stopped beside her, and most of the sunlight falling on her face was blocked.

Yuan Ge tilted her head to look, and Wen Ning's expression was lost in the sunlight, a little blurry and a little strange. Since her rebirth, she had met Wen Ning only a few times, and the only time she had a conversation was in front of the moon cave gate in the backyard of Ciguang Temple, and they exchanged a few words.

Yuan Ge had always thought that Wen Ning didn't like this sister, just like Madam Wen's indifference to Wen Qian, except for the old lady, the Wen family members' attitude towards Wen Qian was surprisingly consistent - whether you are good or not, it has nothing to do with me. But when she was sitting here just now, she suddenly understood that the Wen family's attitude towards Wen Qian should be to pity her misfortune and be angry at her for not fighting, but Wen Qian didn't understand. She gradually closed her eyes and ears in Tong Wanzhen's "goodness" and became a puppet doll without self, believing everything about Tong Wanzhen and only believing in Tong Wanzhen.

Yuan Ge threw the remaining stones in his hand into the lake, then he looked up and squinted his eyes and asked her, "Why do you believe it now?"

Yuan Ge looked at Wen Ning, and Wen Ning was also looking at Yuan Ge. The girl, who was looking up, squinted slightly because of the glaring sunlight, and all the emotions in her eyes were suppressed. She looked gentle and soft as usual. But... Wen Ning said, "I have seen you arguing with us for him, and I have also seen you wanting to be enemies with all of us for Tong Wanzhen. I don't know if you have really seen it clearly and let it go, or if you are just trying to resist and welcome it to attract the attention of the second prince... But Wen Qian, we have never thought of harming you. Tong Wanzhen will steal the fiancé of the eldest sister, and I, Wen Ning, can't do such a shameful thing."

Yuan Ge did not comment, but changed the subject and asked her, "Did you know that mother went to ask the queen for help?"

"Hmm." Wen Ning's eyes fell on the stone beside Yuan Ge. She hesitated again and again, but still did not sit over. This was the first time that they had talked calmly and frankly. Sitting side by side... It was really embarrassing. "She knelt in front of the Queen's palace gate for a whole hour before she was summoned. The Queen blamed the servants for not informing her. The servants said that the Queen was worried and had trouble sleeping. It was a rare good night's sleep, so how could she be disturbed? In the end, it seemed that the mother was inconsiderate enough to disturb the Queen's afternoon nap..." After she finished speaking, she pulled the corner of her mouth.

She had always spoken in a leisurely manner, as if she had just finished her life in this world, but with a sneer, she seemed more lively and really like a little girl.

Yuan Ge pursed his lips and said, "You... never said that."

"What's the use of telling you? At that time, you were like a hedgehog with spikes all over your body, unable to distinguish between friend and foe, right and wrong. If we had told you, you might have blamed your mother for adding unnecessary details and backfiring." Wen Ning was not polite at all. She frowned slightly and accused coldly, "Even your grandmother cried for you many times, saying that you seemed to have been cursed and was determined to jump into the fire pit... All of us felt that the Second Prince's Mansion was not a good place to go, but you regarded us as enemies, thinking that we were all jealous of you, and only the concubine of the Tong family treated you sincerely. Wen Qian, you are so stupid!"

To Miss Wen, the word "stupid" was the ugliest word she could utter.
