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

She was suspicious, but heard the guests around her whispering, "Is this the Second Prince? Then, should we go forward and salute?"

"No... Don't you see that the timing is not right? It's not wise to go up and make yourself familiar with him at this time... I heard that the Second Prince comes here often. I have seen him two or three times. There are plenty of opportunities for me to greet him. But this guy from the Song family usually stays at home and rarely goes out. I didn't expect to run into him today... Could he be chasing his new bride? It will be interesting to see."

Tong Wanzhen waved her hands to explain, "It's not like that. I dragged Qianqian here to have breakfast. Brother, you misunderstood. Qianqian has been in poor health since she fell into the water last time. It's really not like what you said."

"Falling into the water?" Tong Shenzhi smiled coquettishly, "That's right! I was not in Shengjing City before, and I just learned about many things. This little girl is just stubborn. She hanged herself, jumped into the river, and threw herself into the lotus pond on her wedding day for others, but she still made it sound so light and confusing. How about Madam San Shao, come and explain it?"

Whispering and pointing, they put themselves on the high platform of trial, and condescendingly imposed all malicious speculations on a little girl. Qin Yongpei, the man standing next to Tong Shenzhi, did not say a word to stop them, and stayed out of it as usual.

Just as Yuan Ge was about to step forward, he heard someone say, "If you ask me, this Wen family young lady is really lucky. She didn't die despite all the troubles she suffered... Unlike the one on Zhixuan Mountain, she was said to have caused harm for a thousand years, but unexpectedly, she just died. She also caused her sickly brother to fall ill and die within three days... When she was found, she was already cold!"

Yuan Ge paused, frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice... What did that person say? Before his consciousness could catch up, his body had already reacted instinctively.

"It's the witch Yuan Ge from Zhixuan Mountain. She learned poisons instead of other things. I heard that few people in Zhixuan Mountain have not been poisoned by her! The villagers at the foot of the mountain are also miserable... Causing harm to the neighbors is child's play. She has brought misfortune to her father and mother, and now her brother..." The man was still chattering, "The most important thing is that the old man is still in seclusion. When he came out, he found that both the brother and sister were gone. This old woman has given birth to four young people in a row. What can we do!"

"Really?" The three words "Zhi Xuan Shan" could cause a stir in Shengjing City, so naturally some people were curious.

"It couldn't be more true! If you ask me, it's because she was too indulgent on weekdays. That little witch has a bad reputation. Now this is retribution. It's just a pity for her sickly brother. I heard that he is very talented."

Yuan Ge was still standing there, his face pale and about to fall.

Song Wenyuan looked at her with a frown. He had never seen Yuan Ge like this. Even when she was just pulled out of the water, she had never been so weak that she looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind... But he just wanted to protect her and take her away, but the other party didn't even look at him from beginning to end. It was as if her eyes were glued to him, Qin Yongpei. His worries seemed particularly unnecessary.

She looked bereaved.

Shi Yin stepped forward cautiously to help him up, but she didn't dare to ask or say more in the current situation. Tong Shenzhi, however, saw that the other party was about to cry, and he grinned again, arrogantly, "Madam Third Young Master, why are you silent? Weren't you very sharp-tongued just now?" Zhi Xuanshan? He didn't care, and he didn't mind. He just wanted to make Song Wenyuan lose face!

A sweet and fishy smell kept rising from her throat, and she felt dizzy. Yuan Ge clenched her fists tightly, digging her neatly trimmed nails into her palms. She looked up at Tong Shenzhi, her amber pupils were so deep and cold that they pierced her bones. She walked very steadily and slowly, and asked every step, "What are you talking about? What are you explaining? Hanging yourself? Jumping into the river? Throwing yourself into the lotus pond?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood in front of the stairs, looking up at Tong Shenzhi with a smile on her lips, "I hung myself with the white silk, I jumped off the Vermillion Bird Bridge, and I jumped into the lotus pond myself. So, did I hang myself on your beam or jump into your lotus pond? Did it bother you, Young Master Tong? Explain? Why should I prove that I have no interest in him, Qin Yongpei? Why should I explain these things to you? Just because of your empty accusations and speculations, I have to cut open my chest and blood to prove my innocence and truth to you?"

"Tong Shenzhi, who... are you?"

The rain outside the window had grown heavier at some point, hitting the open window with a ticking sound. The wind blew up the curtains, knocking down a screen that fell to the ground with a bang. The bustling noises in the lobby on the first floor came up, making the second floor seem even quieter and more silent.

The little girl in a red dress and plain face stood there with her back facing up and a smile on her lips. She looked slender, weak, and yet involuntarily frightening.

No one expected that this little girl would suddenly attack. Every word she said was sharp and arrogant. She even called the Second Prince by his name. She was really arrogant. She dared to call them, but they didn't dare to listen. They just felt their legs trembling and their knees weak - they wanted to kneel down.

Tong Shenzhi moved his mouth, "You..."

"Mr. Tong." Yuan Ge interrupted him, and her eyes were a little dazed, and she could no longer feel pain in her clenched palm. But she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't vomit quickly, and there was a vague craziness in her eyes. She said, "I'm not a good person, and I don't like to say it many times. Next time you still can't remember it, and I don't mind beating until you remember it - I'm beaten up instead of causing trouble, I'm afraid that no matter how Mrs. Tong cherishes her son, she's embarrassed to question me."

After saying that, without looking at anyone, she just turned her head to look at Shiyin and whispered, "Let's go." She really didn't look at anyone and left calmly with her maid.

Song Wenyuan looked normal as he held the teacup and flicked the tea foam. If you looked closely, you could see that he was as gentle as ever, but with a hint of arrogance and evilness, like a hunter who had been dormant for a long time and found his favorite prey... After a while, he frowned and said, "Regarding today's matter, I have to go to your homes and talk to your fathers about education... Wen Qian is not only the daughter of the Wen family, but also my wife, Song Wenyuan. I'm sure you all know what kind of reputation I have. Don't be too arrogant in the future."

After saying this, he put down his teacup and left.

The nobles looked at each other in bewilderment. They dared to bully Wen Qian in front of Song Wenyuan because they were sure that Song Wenyuan would not stand up to protect Wen Qian. With Song Wenyuan's temper, how could he possibly protect a woman who had made him lose face and whose heart belonged to someone else? But now...

Tong Wanzhen slumped down on her seat, staring at Qin Yongpei with gritted teeth - she knew exactly what the Second Prince's eyes meant at this moment, surprise, amusement, greed, as if he had suddenly discovered a completely different Wen Qian, a surprising Wen Qian.

Only the young master of the Jin family had his eyes sparkling, and he wanted to jump up and down to celebrate! What was he celebrating? Oh, he really felt that everything could be celebrated!
