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

Song Wenyuan tilted his head to look at her. The little girl lowered her head slightly. Although he couldn't see her expression, Song Wenyuan always felt that he could guess that she looked a little lonely, a little annoyed, a little confused, and a little stubborn and disappointed.

The two walked side by side, while Lin Mu followed slowly in a horse-drawn carriage not far away. No one mentioned riding in the carriage, and the "coachman" was tactful enough not to rush them.

It seemed like this was the first time they had a serious conversation about this matter.

It felt a bit strange for a woman to talk to her new husband about her lover's past.

But what was even more strange was that… he did not feel uncomfortable, nor did he get angry because of the teasing that was meant for him during that time. Instead, he felt strangely relieved. He subconsciously raised his hands in the air and then put them behind his back as if nothing had happened. He stared at the top of her head, which looked so nice to touch, with his eyebrows down, and smiled lazily, "Not too stupid. But you only told me half of the reason… This concubine of the Tong family is not as simple as you think. You think that they just treat you as a money bag and a sucker, but you don't know that in their eyes, you are already a stumbling block no less than the legitimate daughter of the Tong family."

Hearing this, Yuan Ge frowned slightly, turned his head and saw Song Wenyuan nodded affirmatively.

Yuan Ge's face turned from black to white, and from white to green, and his back teeth were grinding again and again. He endured it for a long time, but couldn't hold it in anymore and cursed silently, "Asshole!"

With his teeth bared, he looked like a tiger with its fur standing on end, ready to pounce and bite the opponent's neck at any time.

Song Wenyuan's lips curled slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes. He lowered his head and took two steps, then turned his head to look at Yuan Ge who was obviously upset, "I thought... you would be sad." After all, she was his sweetheart, and the person he thought was his best friend.

Sad? Yuan Ge kicked the stone in front of her hard and far away, then sneered coldly, "I hate being treated as a fool the most! Before, I thought that as long as I could prove my innocence, it would be fine. Just now, I thought that good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished, so it's fine. But now I suddenly feel that this is still not enough. I want her to pay back all the money she spent from me and the treasures she took away, with interest!"

The little girl's chest heaved with excitement, and the black pearls under the peacock hairpin drew smooth arcs, casting dazzling fragments of light.

She was quite stupid at first, but she became smarter after surviving three disasters. Song Wenyuan was secretly complaining and laughing at the same time, with a mischievous smile between his eyebrows. His eyes fell on the string of black pearls, and he coaxed in a low voice, "Okay, I'll help you. By the way, I'll also help the concubine of the Tong family. She wants to fly to Qin Yongpei's branch, so I'll send her up... How do you think?"

Yuan Ge looked up.

The man who was looking over with his hands behind his back still had facial features that deceived the world with their gentleness, and even the smile on his lips was modest and gentle. However, in his pair of eyes, as dark as splashed ink, there was a kind of coldness that spread silently, as if there was a man-eating beast hiding in them.

The Queen intended to form an alliance with the Tong family, but if the news that Qin Yongpei and the Tong family's concubine were together became known to everyone, it would be a great shame for both the Queen and the Tong family. Not only would the marriage not be successful, but the relationship would also have to be completely severed. Thinking of the gossip he had just heard in the back garden, Yuan Ge understood Song Wenyuan's purpose almost instantly and asked him, "What does your Majesty mean?"

"Not really." Song Wenyuan did not hide the truth from her, "His Majesty wanted to keep a check on the princes and did not want any of them to become too powerful. I helped him destroy the alliance, which was a great achievement. It was like killing three birds with one stone."

Isn't it a three-pronged approach? It not only solved the emperor's problem, but also fulfilled Tong Wanzhen's wish, and cleared Wen Qian's name - if his lover and his friend were having an affair, what would Wen Qian have to do with it? Wen Qian was just a poor person. Yuan Ge tilted his head and looked at him from head to toe. The way he was calm and calculating others really didn't look like he was poisoned at all, but rather like he was poisoned.

I don’t know who has such great ability to use the Nine-Turn Heart-Breaking Powder on a monster like Song Wenyuan.

The question just lingered in his throat, but he swallowed it back and said jokingly, "I didn't expect that Lord Song, the commander of the Jinyiwei, even knew about the affairs of the boudoir. Is there anything in Shengjing City that you don't know?"

Song Wenyuan coughed, and avoided the other person's sight with a flicker of his eyes, "I found out something by accident..."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Song Wenyuan glanced at her, and said nothing. But his eyes expressed something clearly: You were so stupid at that time, why did I tell you? Did I tell you that you were too old, so I asked you to jump off the Vermillion Bird Bridge again? Or jump into the lotus pond again?

Yuan Ge choked. This stupid thing obviously had nothing to do with her, but she was speechless and couldn't explain it at all. She even had a vague premonition that this stupid thing would be brought up countless times in the future... Every time it was brought up, it was like being stabbed with a fatal wound. She felt angry and powerless.

Seeing the little girl beside him walking lazily with her arms swinging, Song Wenyuan shook his head and laughed, but as he laughed, the corners of his mouth slowly fell... There were still many things he didn't know in Shengjing City. For example, surviving a disaster could indeed make people sober and even have some changes in temperament, but to be transformed so completely, from the handwriting, knowledge, to the mind, it was like a completely different person... How could he explain it?

Although he didn't believe in supernatural things, he wasn't so easily fooled. He asked Yan Huo to investigate secretly, but still could not find out anything - Wen Qian was a real person, and it was clear that he had been a weak and soft-hearted person in the past, but... it was also true that he had been reborn.

Yanhuo said that maybe because he lost his mother when he was young, he didn't dare to show his strength in order to protect himself and deliberately showed weakness.

Now it seems that this is the only explanation... After all, she is just a little girl, and she will tell the truth when she feels it is appropriate.

Song Wenyuan suddenly glanced behind him, then looked away as if nothing had happened, and reminded him calmly, "Walk carefully."

"Miss, Lord Song seems to have discovered us." At the entrance of the alley not far away, a little maid in a green shirt was a little worried, "I heard that Lord Song is very good at martial arts. If he knows that we are following him and Miss, I'm afraid... it's not good."

Wen Ning walked out of the alley. The two people had already walked far away. The carriage followed slowly behind them, blocking her view. She didn't care. She looked for a while, then turned back and told the maid calmly, "Go back."

After saying that, he walked away in the opposite direction, with a blank expression on his cold facial features, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Only the maid followed closely behind, whispering, "Miss, the eldest lady seems to be different from before."

"Ah."
