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

Song Wenyuan looked at the dishes on the table again. After a while, he brought over the bowl that she had not finished drinking. He lowered his head and took a sip amid Lin Mu's exclamation. He suddenly felt that Aunt Gui's soup today was indeed a bit bland.

He put down the bowl in his hand, sighed softly, and after a while he instructed, "She likes the spice that His Majesty gave as a reward, you can give it to her... Also, the frankincense from Huajiantang, she has mentioned it several times and said she is reluctant to give it away, you can buy two jars and send them to her tomorrow." He never knew how wealthy the Wen family was, but that day, the wedding procession was so beautiful that it stretched for ten miles, and the wedding procession had already entered the Earl's Mansion, but the ones at the back were still at the Wen family, which showed how huge the wealth of this young lady was... and yet she was reluctant to give away these few taels of silver.

Lin Mu was dumbfounded. His leg stopped hurting instantly, and he only felt a throbbing pain in his head. "No! Master, why is this happening? She has already given you the cold shoulder, so why should we send her this and that? Master, this woman is so heartless. Didn't you see how arrogant she looked when she left just now, gritting her teeth and stepping on her subordinates? Like a villain who has succeeded!"

Song Wenyuan tilted his head to look at him and reminded him lightly, "You can raise your voice a little louder. There's only a wall between Qichi Pavilion and Luofeng Pavilion. If your loud voice is heard through the wall, do you believe she will come back and step on your other leg and make it crippled?"

Lin Mu choked, thinking that this was something that woman could really do... He touched his nose and carefully tested, "Then...then Master, you won't protect me?"

The other person's eyes fell on his shoes, and his tone became more and more understated, "I can't protect it."

Can't protect her?! How can she not protect her? Lin Mu almost doubted his life. Was he going to let this woman do whatever she wanted in the mansion? If he were to say, he shouldn't have taken her back from the Madam just now. He should have let the Madam set some rules for her! Although... maybe, it felt like the Madam couldn't set her own rules...

Lin Mu sighed in his heart, but still reminded him seriously, "Master, aren't you worried that she is really Wen Changling's spy? At that time, you said that it is better to have a stupid spy than a smart one, but now I see that this woman is very clever and cunning, isn't it hard to guard against?"

Yes, the little girl is indeed too smart, eloquent, and insightful, but because of this, she cannot be a chess piece. How can a little girl who never treats herself badly and cannot bear the slightest grievance be so obedient as to let others manipulate her? But... it's hard to guard against? Song Wenyuan chewed on these words slowly. The early autumn evening breeze still had the heat that had not dissipated during the day, which seemed to make people feel dry and uncomfortable and powerless.

He didn't want to explain, nor did he know how to explain, so he just frowned and urged, "Why don't you go quickly? Don't call her 'bitch' anymore, it's so unruly! Now Jianshu is with her, watch out for her and let Jianshu beat you up."

...Well, so this is what Jianshu was asked to do. Fortunately, he thought it was a spy planted there... Can such a "lust-induced" master still be accepted? Lin Mu looked up at the roof beams and let out a long sigh. That's it... Can I throw away the master I chose? Just use him for what he wants. As for Luofengxuan, you have to work harder and keep a close eye on him. Don't let that fox spirit seduce the master!

This guy was complaining in his heart, but his facial expression was very interesting. Song Wenyuan was so angry that he laughed and kicked him, "Why don't you go? Are you waiting for your master to send you there?"

If the master goes there in person, what difference will that make him a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth? Lin Mu's body suddenly trembled, "I'll go right away!" After saying that, he grabbed the incense in the cabinet and ran away!

……

Yuan Ge was still a little angry when he returned to Luofengxuan. He had a sullen face and ignored everyone, and directly ordered to prepare hot water for a bath.

When Lin Mu came over, Yuan Ge was still soaking in the tub. The heat made him feel lazy and his temper subsided. But when he heard that Lin Mu's guards were coming to deliver incense, he immediately became even angrier and shouted, "No need! The one Lord Song used was a gift from the emperor. We can't afford it. Let someone take it back!"

She said to return it, so naturally no one dared to accept it. Lin Mu took the box of spices back to Qichi Pavilion and delivered Yuan Ge's words intact. After that, he carefully looked at Song Wenyuan's expression and asked, "Master, are you still sending the Stork tomorrow?"

"Send it." Song Wenyuan tapped the edge of the table. "Put it here first and send it over tomorrow."

Her expression was indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry. Lin Mu sighed secretly, responded softly, and left... The master was rejected for the first time when he gave a serious gift to a girl. I'm afraid he must feel bad!

……

The next morning, someone from the Wen family came and said that the young master had returned and invited Lord Song and the young mistress to come back for dinner.

Yuan Ge had a good sleep, but still didn't like Song Wenyuan. Hearing this, he just said casually, "My husband went out on business early this morning and is not at home." Then he asked Shiyin to pack a few gifts and get on the carriage to go back to the Wen family for dinner. As for Song Wenyuan, that inexplicable man, he didn't even let her finish her bowl of fish soup and drove her away. And he invited him to the Wen family for a free meal? Wishful thinking!

Wen Qian only had a few memories of this young master of the Wen family. His name was Wen Peiji, and he was the adopted son of Wen Changling from a branch of the family. He was mature beyond his years, and did not spend much time in the mansion. He was studying away from home most of the time, and only came back during the holidays. The young man grew up quickly and changed a lot, so every time he saw him, he seemed a little more unfamiliar, so they became less and less close.

Of course, Wen Qian doesn't really have any close friends.

The only one who was close to her pushed her towards the underworld step by step.

On the contrary, Wen Qian avoided the people of the Wen family like the plague. Combining his own interactions with them and Wen Qian's memories, Yuan Ge felt that they were really just a little cold and indifferent to her, but never had the intention to harm her.

What a silly girl...

Yuan Ge got off the carriage while complaining in her heart. No one greeted her at the door of the Wen family, but she didn't care. She walked in as if she was familiar with the place. She stopped a maid and asked where her masters were. The maid hurriedly said "the old lady's place" and then ran away with her head down.

Weird!

Yuan Ge felt something was wrong. Normally, since the Wen family had invited Song Wenyuan, there should be someone waiting at the door to greet them. How come there was no one there when they walked in? She walked to the door of her grandmother's yard with suspicion, and saw a small white figure squatting at the door. Just as she was about to ask, she heard a thunderous roar from the yard, "Is this what you call studying away from home?! What kind of knowledge are you seeking?! Are you ruining a girl's knowledge?!"

Bai Tuanzi shuddered and looked up...
