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

Yuan Ge was too lazy to pay attention to this hooligan who was pretending to be pitiful. He snorted and didn't refuse, but he didn't respond either.

But Song Wenyuan seemed to insist on getting a positive answer from her tonight. This girl has become more and more courageous recently, which always makes people nervous. He didn't want to let this little girl go today without getting a positive answer. He lowered his head and rubbed his nose against hers, "Qianqian... come back to the mansion with me, don't leave me, never in this life... okay?"

As their breaths intertwined, their voices sounded ambiguous and alluring, and even their skin felt numb when they fell into their ears. Miss Yuan couldn't stand such a teasing, and she responded unconsciously, "Hmm..."

A light cough sounded. Lord Yao, who had hurried over, could not stand to see Song Wenyuan being so shameless and impetuous. He shook his head and admired that the eldest lady of the Wen family was really an extraordinary person, who could make this cold-faced high-class flower turn into a soft and gentle person. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk...

Over there, the little fellow who obediently shielded Wen Xiaobai’s eyes with his five fingers spread out, consciously “not looking at anything inappropriate”, rushed towards the people around Yao Yunfeng with a smile on his face, “Daddy! Zhuozhuo has found his mother!”

The little guy's face was full of joy, and the burning of the pleasure boat had long been forgotten - mother was right, where mother and father were, that was home.

Wen Peiji has only known for these years that his son seems to have completely forgotten what happened during that period, but he has no idea about the twists and turns. Seeing this, he picked up his son who rushed over, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xu Yi who was evasive. He was a little surprised. This woman abandoned her husband and son for many years. She ran away when she saw him a while ago. I thought she was a heartless person, but I didn't expect the little guy to recognize her as soon as he came... If I had known this, I would have thrown this little guy out as bait. Wouldn't it be less troublesome? Thinking this way, he didn't say anything. He just said "um" in a low voice, and then asked Xu Yi, "What's the matter? How did the fire break out?" The gorgeous voice seemed to be stained with the coolness of this winter night, a little cold.

At this time, the fire was almost out, and the entire houseboat was burned into a huge black skeleton, which looked a bit creepy in the night.

Speaking of business, Lord Song seemed much more reliable. He was still reluctant to take back the palm of his hand that lingered on Yuan Ge's waist. He held her and looked at Yao Yunfeng, summarizing the servants' words just now, "It must be arson. If it was an accidental fire, the servants found it in time, and it was a winter night, it would not have gotten out of control to this extent. I came early, and I did smell the smell of kerosene. Someone must have secretly poured kerosene early in the morning and set fire to the pleasure boat while everyone was asleep, so the fire could be so fierce."

Lord Yao put his fist to his chin and nodded, agreeing, "As expected of Lord Song, you hold a beautiful woman in your arms and can even smell the kerosene. I really admire you."

Someone couldn't hold it back and laughed.

Song Wenyuan was in a very good mood at the moment. He changed his hug to hand-holding, lowered his eyebrows and clasped his fingers, then smiled at Yao Yunfeng, "Since Lord Yao is here, this matter will be handed over to Lord Yao. I think that the matter of the burning of the pleasure boat should not be difficult for Lord Yao to investigate and judge... I will not make any comments here, so as to avoid more memorials to criticize me in the court tomorrow. Let's go, madam, let's go back to the mansion to rest..."

Yao Yunfeng bent down and raised his hand, "Please. Lord Song, please rest assured that I will send the news to the Kejing Marquis's residence as soon as I get it."

Yuan Ge didn't leave, he looked at Xu Yi, "Sister-in-law..."

Wen Peiji took Wen Xiaobai out of his son's arms and handed him back to Yuan Ge, "It will be dawn soon, take your husband who is still seriously injured back home to rest, I'm here with him." Song Wenyuan, who was "still seriously injured", was indeed not suitable to be here.

Yao Yunfeng sent Yuan Ge and Song Wenyuan away in a warm and friendly manner, with some joking and familiarity. However, when he turned around, his expression changed instantly. He raised his hand and shouted coldly, "Take the servants who were on duty in the painting boat today back to Jingzhao Prefecture and interrogate them one by one!"

Everyone's faces turned pale. Xu Yi was about to speak to help, but Yao Yunfeng had already turned around and bowed, "I guess this must be Madam Wen... Madam, today the gangsters set fire to the pleasure boat, and it is my duty to take these servants back for questioning. Don't worry, it's just a routine matter, and they will be sent back soon after questioning."

Xu Yi nodded his head and said yes, comforting everyone with kind words, and arranged an inn for them to stay in for the next few days. Then he looked back at his hard work over the past few years and sighed softly... The fire was too big, and he only had time to save a very small part of the accumulation over the years. This fire really caused huge losses. The only thing to be thankful for was that no one was injured or killed.

Yao Yunfeng had already brought his men to the burned pleasure boat to investigate. For a moment, only the family of three was left on the shore. Wen Peiji glanced at Xu Yi and said stiffly, "It's getting late. Come back with me and rest."

The other party looked back at him, looking surprised, "Why should I go back with you?"

Young Master Wen's face turned even colder, and his voice was also cold, "What else? Are you planning to stay at Marquis Kejing's residence for a few days?" He emphasized the word "stay", and it was faintly heard that he was grinding his back teeth. The smile on his face was also evil, and it was somewhat threatening, as if to say, "Just try and nod your head."

"I..." Xu Yi had no intention of staying at the Bo's Mansion temporarily. She just felt a little guilty in front of Wen Peiji. She didn't know why she felt guilty. She touched her nose and said, "I can stay at an inn."

"Heh." Master Wen was so angry that he laughed. He looked at the dark night, then nodded his son's head and said seriously, "If he, Wen Yizhuo, the legitimate grandson of the Wen family, goes to the inn to see you every day...what do you think the rumors will spread? Xu Yi, I don't know what you are afraid of, but I, Wen Peiji, am not a pushover, and my Wen family is not made of paper. We can't even protect our own young lady, and we need you to hide outside under an assumed name and abandon your husband and children!"

Xu Yi shuddered slightly, and the color on his face faded a little, "You...you know?"

That's true.

Wen Peiji pressed the corner of his mouth, "In the past, I thought you were as cunning as a fox, but now I think you are as stupid as a pig!"

"you--"

"I don't know, but I think the Wen family has never offended anyone, let alone harmed anyone. But you ran away as soon as you knew my identity, and even left your son behind. If it's not because of the Wen family, then it must be because of a certain family in Shengjing City." Wen Peiji glanced at her unhappily, "So, do you want to explain it to me here, or do you want to go home and sleep with your son whose eyelids are almost glued together?"

Using his son to control his biological mother - Wen Peiji has mastered this tactic to perfection.
