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

Yuan Ge had no idea that the medicine she had given away was depreciated to be worthless. She took Shiyin and Jianshu to the street for morning tea and, without disguising herself, went straight to knock on the door of Zuihuanlou, the most popular brothel at the time.

The eunuch who opened the door yawned and looked out to see three girls standing outside. The one in the lead, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked like a spoiled girl from a wealthy family. In short, she shouldn't be the kind of person who would enter this place in broad daylight! He became increasingly impatient and waved his hand to drive them away without saying a word, "Go away, go away, don't you even look at where this is—"

As soon as he finished speaking, his palm felt heavy. He looked down subconsciously and his eyes widened. Silver! What a big ingot of silver!

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, let alone just knocking on the door of a brothel?

The eunuch's eyes were glued to the silver, and his expression was obviously much warmer. He bent down and opened the door with a smile, and explained enthusiastically, "Just miss, we are only open in the evening, and the girls are all catching up on their sleep upstairs right now...I wonder who you are looking for? I'll pass the message to you." There was a bit of caution in his enthusiasm, and it was obvious that he was worried that the girl was here to cause trouble so early in the morning, so he hinted at it first.

Yuan Ge smiled and shook his head, "I'm not looking for the girls. Can you please ask the mother here for me? Just tell her that my daughter has a business that she wants to discuss with her. I wonder if she is free... If it works out, I will not treat Zui Huan Lou unfairly."

The girl had gentle features and a soft smile that was soothing and touching. The eunuch nodded and said hello, then trotted away. After a while, a woman in her thirties came down from upstairs.

She was wearing a light purple long dress with gold-rimmed crabapple branches embroidered on it, and a layer of green gauze on the outside. Her black hair was loosely tied up with a wooden hairpin. She came down from upstairs and first looked Yuan Ge up from head to toe. There was an inexplicable interest in her eyes. She said her name was Hong Lan, and others called her Hong Mama. "Miss, do you want to discuss business with me? There is no one around, why don't you tell me first?"

As the smoke and waves flow, the charm of the scenery is already there.

I'm afraid she was also a famous beauty in Shengjing when she was young.

Miss Yuan has always liked beauties, so she didn't mind the other party's obvious neglect at this moment. She smiled and said, "I want to ask Hong's mother for a few people to go to the Song family to perform a play. I want pretty, gentle, and coquettish people."

The requirements are not low. At such a young age, when he talks about beauties, he has a set of rules. His expression is just like a big-tailed wolf who is attracted by beauty... However, Hong Lan frowned slightly and asked, "Which Song family?"

"The Mansion of Marquis Kejing." This matter cannot be concealed, and there is no need to conceal it.

The other party's eyes were obviously more cautious, "Who are you to the Kejing Marquis's Mansion?"

"The Third Young Master's Wife, Wen Qian, from the House of Marquis Kejing."

The other party was slightly stunned. Wen Qian's reputation has been quite loud recently. How many people saw her jump from the Vermillion Bird Bridge? They are in this line of work. What kind of crazy men and women have they not seen? In the eyes of people like them, a young lady from a noble family jumping into the river for love is just a pretentious act after having no worries about food and clothing... She can jump or marry, but she can't escape the control of the family.

Because of this preconceived impression, she really didn't have a good impression of the Song family's young lady. She stood with her arms folded, her eyebrows slightly raised, with a bit of charm and arrogance between her eyebrows, "The young lady used a silver ingot to send me, a eunuch, so I knew that the young lady was someone who had no shortage of money. Mother Hong, I am also a businessman, and there is no reason to turn away the God of Wealth. But, if what I heard is correct, the young lady herself has not yet established a firm foothold in the Kejing Marquis's Mansion, but now she wants to take my girls to perform. If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

"I." Yuan Ge replied calmly. His expression did not change at all despite the insults and nitpickings. He just smiled and said, "Whether I have established a firm foothold in the Kejing Marquis's Mansion or not, it does not affect my ability to send them back unharmed. Of course, if Mother Hong still feels uneasy, that's fine. I will go find another family."

The girl did not prove herself, nor was she angry or impatient. She smiled gently, and had a calmness and composure that her peers did not have. Hong Lan looked at her and felt that rumors could not be trusted after all. The wife of the Third Young Master did not seem like someone who would be trapped by love.

Even when you truly belong to someone, you should be able to let go of it freely.

She felt that she had not misjudged him, and she immediately appreciated him a little more. She lowered her arms and said with a smile, "Young Madam has promised so, Hong Lan will believe it. Since we are discussing business, we must sit down and have a good talk... Young Madam, please."

……

In recent years, Li Yushuang has lived with Song Ziyao and Aunt An in a large courtyard in the northeast corner, which is almost separated from Wang Xiuru's Lixue Hall by half of the Kejing Marquis's Mansion. In addition, Wang Xiuru didn't like these people, so Li was happy to ignore the rules and mind her own business. She slept until the sun was high in the sky every day. Aunt An tried to persuade her several times but to no avail, so she just let her go without seeing or being annoyed.

Li had been married for three years, and at first they had a period of harmonious life. However, Song Ziyao was a playboy who liked new things and soon got tired of old ones. He started to stay in brothels and have fun. The couple argued, quarreled, fought, and quarreled, and they were both exhausted. In the end, Song Ziyao swore in public that he would never bring anyone into the house, and then the matter was settled.

But this feeling faded away in the day-to-day torture, and what was left...even she herself didn't know what kind of mood it was.

She only knew that no one could take the position of the eldest lady of the Song family away from her.

Because of Li Jinfeng's matter, she didn't sleep well the whole night. When she woke up and saw that it was still early, she was about to take another nap when she heard the servants in the yard saying in embarrassment, "Madam San Shao, my Madam is still asleep..."

The Third Young Master's wife? Wen Qian? What happened yesterday? Why are you here so early in the morning? Li was suspicious, but she didn't get up. She just subconsciously held her breath and listened to the conversation outside.

"It doesn't matter. I won't look for my sister-in-law." Yuan Ge said, "Is my elder brother here? I brought him some gifts in return."

Return gift? What return gift? Li couldn't help but lift the thin blanket and sit up. The Wen family was well known for being wealthy. As Minister Wen was the Minister of Revenue and the emperor's confidant, the emperor would turn a blind eye to the small amounts of money he made on weekdays, not to mention the rewards he received every now and then... The things Wen Qian could give away were naturally not vulgar things.

The strange thing was that the servant did not answer for a long time, so long that even Li felt it was impolite, and then hesitantly said, "Yes, yes, Madam Third Young Master, please wait a moment. I will go and tell them right away."

What's going on? Li couldn't bear it any longer, so she got dressed and went out. As she opened the door, she called out enthusiastically, "Is your sister-in-law here?"

With the sound of "squeak", the smile that had just appeared on Li's face completely froze——
