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

"It doesn't exist?" Song Wenyuan's face was cold, and his voice was chilled. His words were unrestrained and unpleasant to the ear. "You are lucky! Have you ever thought about it? If you were ambushed today, not only would you not be able to bring back Zhong Wei, but you would also be killed in it. If the matter got out of hand, would you still want to keep this reputation? When you are pointed at by thousands of people and cannot defend yourself, what can you do? Jump off the Suzaku Bridge again?!"

The way he gritted his teeth and his facial features were slightly distorted in the dim light made him look somewhat scary.

Yuan Ge suddenly took half a step back. As he did so, Song Wenyuan seemed to suddenly realize what he had just said, but the words had already been spoken and he was still angry. He couldn't apologize on the spot for his careless words, so he just stood there with a grim expression.

But I already regretted it so much in my heart.

Xu Chengjin shook his head, thinking to himself that it was unreasonable for an outsider like him to mediate the quarrel between the two gods. He tapped Song Wenyuan's arm with the handle of his fan, "Okay... let's see if what you said makes sense? What do you mean by jumping over the Vermillion Bird Bridge again? If you are worried, you should say you are worried. How can you say such nonsense casually?"

After saying this, he looked up at Yuan Ge, "And you..."

Yuan Ge glanced at him without saying a word, turned around and went into the house, closed the door and bolted it. After a while, the candles in the house were blown out.

That's called a neat move.

Xu Chengjin still held his fan in the air, pointing in the direction of the door, gritted his teeth, and said, "Ms. Yuan's temper is worse than Song Wenyuan's. Song Wenyuan at least won't turn his face away from you directly. When Miss Yuan gets upset, she turns her face away from you, which is to give you face..." He shrugged and pointed to the room, "You see, I can't coax you. You've offended your wife, so you can coax her yourself!"

Lord Song glanced at him, his eyes slightly drooped, his brows unfriendly, and after a while, he sneered, "Mind your own business, who wants to coax her?" After that, he turned away.

Xu Chengjin was left standing here alone, looking at this room and that room. He exchanged a glance with Jin Yunian at the door of Luofengxuan and shrugged, "Every day, you keep saying one thing and thinking another... Let's go, brothers, have a drink?"

Young Master Jin had survived a catastrophe and was in low spirits. "It's already this late, it's almost dawn, where are we going to drink?"

"Either here or at my place. It's just right for sleeping after drinking... There's nothing to do tomorrow, so how can it disturb your sleep? Let's go to my place to drink, it's quiet... These two are big Buddhas that cannot be offended. If I try to persuade them, I'll be like a dog trying to catch a rat. Never mind, never mind..."

Although he said this, not long after, the two men came out of Song Wenyuan's wine cellar as if they were familiar with the place, each holding a jar of wine, and went to the back garden - what can they do? Miss Yuan has returned from the resurrection, but she is far less carefree than when she was alive. She has many things weighing on her mind. Song Wenyuan doesn't know if he can ignore it, but Xu Chengjin will have to take care of it.

As for the other one... he was also a little absent-minded, as if he was worried about something, but he couldn't really tell what it was.

So, the two brothers reached a tacit agreement on this point.

……

Zhong Wei thought that she would not be able to sleep as she had just recovered from the fright that day, but unexpectedly she slept well that night. When she woke up, there was a maid in the yard. She walked to the door when she heard her get up, claiming to be a servant from the mansion, and came to help her get up and wash.

The little maid was thoughtful and deliberately made her footsteps heavier when she walked.

Zhong Wei got up and went to Luofeng Pavilion. Yuan Ge also got up and lay on the recliner in the corridor, caressing Wen Xiaobai in his arms from time to time. Occasionally he looked up and talked to the parrot, thinking to himself, "Stupid bird, why are you so stupid? It's been so many days, and you still can't speak? ... Are you a mute?"

The bird, which had been too lazy to pay attention to her all the time, suddenly flapped its wings twice and chirped, to prove that it was not mute.

Yuan Ge raised his eyelids again, "That's a stupid bird!"

The parrot ignored her again.

This self-absorbed person can even talk to a bird. Zhong Wei watched from the door, pursing her lips and smiling. At this moment, the girl in a simple outfit was lying there. She was no longer as ostentatious as before, and looked like a pure and harmless girl next door. She walked in slowly and started to talk about the favor, "Qianqian, for saving my life yesterday..."

Before he could finish his words, Yuan Ge waved his hand to stop him. He said in a dull and uninterested tone, "There's no need to be so polite between you and me. I didn't do anything. You're just lucky. If you were kidnapped to our lair yesterday, even if I wanted to rescue you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything." After saying this, he smiled faintly.

"I don't care. Even though you saved me, the favor is still there... Even if I'm lucky, if I stay in that broken temple for another night, I might starve to death or be scared to death." Zhong Wei insisted, sat down beside her, looked at her seriously and said, "Qianqian. I... I'm not good at socializing. I'm not as good as Yu Qingqing who is good at getting along with everyone... I, I'm actually a very solitary person. I don't want to trouble others, nor do I want others to trouble me."

The voice gradually became lower, and the head lowered as well.

Yuan Ge was not surprised, and nodded, saying, "I can see that... It's okay. Some people are born passionate, while others are born indifferent. It's just like some people are born beautiful, while others are naturally lacking. If everyone in this world is the same, wouldn't it be boring?"

"No, no... That's not what I meant." Zhong Wei twisted the handkerchief in her hand. She had never said these words to anyone, not even Yu Qingqing. Yu Qingqing was careless and it was useless to talk to her about some things, but for some reason, Zhong Wei felt that Wen Qian could understand. She chuckled and said, "I don't want to trouble others, but I always trouble others... I think, maybe it's wrong to be self-sufficient. At least, God gave me the Zhong family and let me inherit the Zhong family for a reason..."

Yuan Ge looked at Zhong Wei like this, sat up straight, and handed Wen Xiaobai in his arms to Murong Yuxuan, who tactfully carried Wen Xiaobai out.

The few traces of boredom on Yuan Ge's face disappeared completely at some point.

She sat up straight and asked seriously, "What do you want to say?"

"Qianqian." Zhong Wei looked at her slowly, frowning slightly with a look of pity, "I... I don't know whether I should tell you or not, but I think you would like to know. According to my grandfather's records, Madam Wen... was the autumn of the year your mother passed away. The country was peaceful and the people were safe. He checked all the relevant records and had never heard of any natural disasters such as large rocks falling anywhere."

Yuan Ge's grip on the blanket suddenly tightened.
