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

In just a cup of tea, Mrs. Qian, who loved her son dearly, hurriedly handed the snow lotus seeds to Xu Chengjin, and carried her son, who was sniffing and still weakly saying "I really didn't cheat this time", back home. After walking a few steps, she became so angry that she slapped him hard on the forehead, "Cry, cry, cry! You only know how to cry! You are as useless as your father!"

On the steps, Mr. Qian sighed bitterly, "Madam, you are so confused! I am not reluctant to part with those dead things... To be honest, Prime Minister Tong has already ordered that if Xu Chengjin comes to ask for any medicinal materials, just refuse them. Now you are so good that you give them to him with both hands. How can I explain this to you?"

"Explain, explain, you only know how to give an explanation to your sworn brother!" Madam Qian stepped onto the steps, dragged one of them into the house with one hand, and sneered coldly, "Does he really regard you as his sworn brother? He is the prime minister, he is not afraid of offending people, and he just rejected them with a few words... It's so funny, the Xu family is full of crazy people, and now the craziest one is dragging your son and saying he wants to chop off his fingers. Do you think he is joking? Why don't you try to reject one of them?"

Mr. Qian shrank his neck and stopped talking. He was naturally aware that in the other party's eyes he might be even worse than a dog that could be summoned at will and dismissed at will, but what could he do? He didn't even dare to offend the Xu family, let alone Tong Mingru who was the prime minister?

Madam Qian had already started scolding the other party, "And you! Why did you go to Xu's gambling house when there are so many other gambling houses to go to? If I hear that you went to Xu's gambling house again, I will break your dog legs and chop off your chicken feet! This will save others from having to chop them off - close the door, why are you still open? Don't you think being seen as a joke isn't enough?!"

The servants were used to it, and they just shook their heads and closed the door. Every time the young master did something wrong, the mistress would get angry but couldn't bear to scold or beat him, so she had to hold her anger in. Naturally, she was not happy with anything she saw, and she even wanted to kick the stones on the roadside...

……

Xu Chengjin hurriedly sent the snow lotus seeds back to Luofengxuan. Seeing Yuan Ge crushing the snow lotus seeds and mixing them into the prepared herbs for frying, he finally felt relieved. He drank two cups of cold tea before he breathed a sigh of relief. "I was really afraid that something might happen along the way. That old guy is Tong Mingru's man. I expected that he would ask for help from outside. I asked someone to borrow a few people from Yao Yunfeng to squat in the corner. I would take down any one I saw! But Tong Mingru is the most cunning and treacherous. I was afraid that he had planted spies nearby. I was worried all the way that someone would rush out to intercept us... Fortunately, I felt relieved when I saw that it was delivered here and put into the pot... Are you okay here? I see that you don't look very well. Go and take a rest first. I'll guard here."

Yuan Ge nodded, but did not go to rest. He just took a sip of tea, glanced at Xu Chengjin, said nothing, then glanced at him again, which made Xu Chengjin feel uneasy. "Just say what you want to say. I feel scared when you look at me like that..."

Yuan Ge chuckled, "Then I'll tell you... I want to practice martial arts."

The first half of the sentence was still playful, but the second half suddenly became serious. Xu Chengjin was slightly stunned and subconsciously retorted, "What a joke! Others start practicing martial arts from the age of three. How old are you? Even if you practice day and night, you will only be stronger than ordinary people when you are in your thirties or fifties..." As he said, he looked around and lowered his voice and called softly, "Yuan Ge... It's not that you don't understand these principles. Don't forget that you are just a young lady from an aristocratic family who can't lift or carry anything."

Yuan Ge held the teacup and looked at him. Wen Qian was somewhat similar to Yuan Ge. At this moment, she looked at him calmly, which was indeed very similar to Yuan Ge. She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled very lightly, "But I know... you have a way."

"I don't have any!" He put the teacup down heavily, and the remaining tea splashed all over the back of his hand. He wiped it roughly on his clothes, frowned and looked at Yuan Ge, his voice was low and deep, "How can I have the method? My martial arts are mediocre, which shows that I am dull and don't work hard. If there is a quick way, I would have used it myself and practiced a peerless magic skill that would make me invincible. How great it would be!"

"Nan Yin..."

"Don't call me!" Xu Chengjin wanted to pry open this person's head to see what was inside. He analyzed it for her one by one, almost in frustration. "You have Jianshu and Lin Mu by your side. The dangers you are facing now are all directed at Song Wenyuan, not at you, the eldest daughter of the Wen family. When Song Wenyuan detoxifies, are you still afraid that Song Wenyuan can't protect you? Even if he can't protect you, there is still me! I will risk my life to protect you!"

He became more and more anxious as he spoke, and his voice became more and more out of control. Fortunately, there was only a patient here who "needed to rest but could not be woken up even if you banged drums and gongs in his ears", and a book appraiser who had good hearing but kept his mouth shut.

Yuan Ge looked at him and shook his head gently, "This is the Nine-turn Heartbreak Powder, how can it be so easy to cure it? The main reason why Dean Zhang is willing to leave peacefully today is because he doesn't believe that we can cure this poison... Chengjin, others don't know, don't you know? I will have to deal with those things one day, the Murong family, Zhixuanshan, which one is easy? I can't tie Song Wenyuan to my side to protect me... Chengjin, I need martial arts."

Xu Chengjin sighed softly, "Can't you just ignore it? You are just a little girl, why do you care about so many major events that affect the rise and fall of the country? Jinsu is Jinsu, and you are you. If she made a mistake, the government will naturally investigate and the law will rule. Even if her entire clan is executed, it won't be on you. You are just Wen Qian, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and the third wife of the Marquis of Kejing." He reminded her of her current identity again.

But she lowered her eyebrows, "But Wen Qian's mother... the cause of death is unknown. If we trace the root cause, it will still be linked to the Murong family, Zhixuanshan, and Chengjin... You know, I can't avoid it."

Xu Chengjin knew that Yuan Ge was right, she was always right. He was most afraid of her like this, the way she looked at him with a slightly frowned brow and spoke to him in a gentle voice, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Before she even started talking, Xu Chengjin felt that he had no choice but to surrender. Just give her whatever she wanted!

She always has a point.

And he always finds a way.

As long as she wanted to do it, he would always find a way.

After a while, he said softly, "Let me think about it."
