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

Yuan Ge looked at the other person sideways, and his straight eyes made Tong Wanzhen feel scared. The hand that was holding Yuan Ge's arm shrank back and smiled awkwardly, "Qianqian...what's wrong with you? Doctor, is Qianqian ill?"

The doctor turned around and bowed calmly, "It's okay, she just got frightened after falling into the water, it's nothing serious. I'll write you a prescription, Madam Third Young Master will be fine after taking it. But..."

The doctor subconsciously looked at the person standing at the door, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

The people at the door were standing in the dark, so their faces could not be seen clearly. However, one of them was wearing a red wedding dress, and his identity was obvious—Song Wenyuan, Wen Qian's newlywed husband. He stood there with his hands behind his back, and said in a cold and unfamiliar voice, "If you have something to say, just say it." He spoke briefly and did not even glance at Yuan Ge.

The doctor responded with two "ah hey" sounds, and then bowed again, "Madam Third Young Master is overly worried, and her illness is in her lungs... Bitter medicine can cure the symptoms but not the root cause. Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. Madam Third Young Master... you need to be more at ease." After that, he bowed to Yuan Ge again.

On the wedding day, the bride became depressed and sick? The guests talked even louder. The doctor's eyes flickered and he stepped aside on the pretext of writing a prescription. Tong Wanzhen held her hand and said comforting words. Her intimate words always inadvertently brought up "that person", but she was able to react in time and stop talking.

Yuan Ge let her chatter in his ear, and waved towards Shiyin. He asked for some warm water to moisten his throat, and then called in a low voice, "Miss Tong..." Her voice was still hoarse, but obviously much better than before.

The other party was slightly stunned, and held Yuan Ge's hand even tighter, looking at Yuan Ge with inquiring eyes, "Qianqian, you... why did you call me like this? Are you going to be estranged from me?"

She was clearly poisoned, but the doctor pretended to treat her for a long time, but could not find anything. The theory of "depression leading to illness" was unequivocal. There were still doubts about Wen Qian falling into the water, but Yuan Ge did not know who the doctor belonged to, and it was not good to alert the enemy for a while, so she just lowered her eyelids to cover her eyes and pretended to be weak. Fortunately, at this moment, she looked so weak that a gust of wind could blow her away. No matter how good the rouge was, it could not cover her pale face, so it was not difficult for her to act weak.

She looked at her wrist that was so painful from being clenched, and sighed softly, "I thought you were always on my side... but just now every word you said was about the Second Prince, as if you were trying to put me in an irretrievable situation... Miss Tong, others may not know, but don't you know why I would rather die than agree to this marriage?" After saying that, she raised her eyelids and looked at Song Wenyuan at the door.

The other party was still standing there with his hands behind his back, looking as if he had stayed out of the matter from beginning to end. It was as if it had nothing to do with him that his newlywed wife was in love with someone else. He had such a cold and heartless personality.

Instead, Tong Wanzhen's expression suddenly changed. She subconsciously looked in a certain direction behind her, and accused Yuan Ge first, "Qianqian, what do you mean by this? What does it have to do with me if you don't want to get married? Qianqian, I treat you so well, and always put you first. But now you want to throw dirty water on me?"

The direction Tong Wanzhen was looking was Madam Tong, Tong Wanzhen's biological mother and the person Tong Wanzhen feared the most in Wen Qian's memory.

Is it related to her too? Yuan Ge lowered his eyes and thought, if this matter is really just a quarrel between girls, it would be fine, but if it is a targeting between the political enemies of the noble families... I am afraid that these are just small fights to test the waters. The marriage between the Wen and Song families, the marriage granted by the imperial decree of His Majesty, how many people cheered, how many people sang against it, and how many people watched the show from the other side? Wen Qian, Wen Qian, you only know that the person who smiles at you likes you and treats you well, but you don't know that these are all faces performing plays, appearing on stage with makeup, but smiling with a knife hidden in their smiles.

Well, now that I have borrowed your body to live again today, I am indebted to you for your kindness, and I should let you go with a clean conscience.

The bride's long eyelashes drooped, casting a green shadow on her pale face. She tightly grasped the wedding veil that her new husband had never removed, lowered her head and bit her lips, and spoke incoherently, "The imperial decree granted the marriage, how could it be up to you and me? But, but you told me that he was extremely ferocious and ugly, and that he was an alcoholic and would beat people when drunk, using sticks, whips, and torture instruments from the imperial prison that were still covered in blood and flesh... You, you still said that he was unlucky..."

"If it weren't so, if it weren't so, why would I choose to die rather than marry him? Now you say that I did it because of the Second Prince... Isn't that throwing dirty water on my path to the underworld so that I can't rest in peace even after my death?"

Tong Wanzhen was dumbfounded. She suddenly shook off Yuan Ge's hand and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! When did I tell you this?!"

Yuan Ge really didn't know whether she had said these words or not. After all, he had only been in this body for a short time, and his mind was so dizzy that he couldn't remember many things. However, the only thing that was certain was that Tong Wanzhen herself couldn't prove that she had never said these words, right? Just like when the spit was splashed at him, Wen Qian was also isolated and helpless and couldn't defend herself.

Who among these people watching the show would seek the truth?

Besides, Yuan Ge now looked weak and innocent enough. In comparison, Tong Wanzhen, whose little thoughts were obvious before, became the villain. Amidst the whispers and pointing, the expression on Tong Wanzhen's face quickly collapsed. She shook her head and took a step back, suddenly screaming, "No! You are not Wen Qian! Who are you?! Wen Qian is dead! How could she survive? She clearly-"

The sound stopped suddenly.

"Mingming... Mingming what?" Yuan Ge looked up at her, his calm eyes revealing a kind of madness as if a storm was about to come.

Mingming what? Mingming had been poisoned, his whole body was paralyzed, and he couldn't even splash in the water. Even if someone passed by, they would never notice that someone had fallen into the water. Tong Wanzhen must have calculated the time to confirm that Wen Qian was really dead before pretending to find someone in the water and calling for help. However, the scene was chaotic at the time, so naturally no one would notice who was the first to notice Wen Qian falling into the water.

Tong Wanzhen was leaning against the dressing table behind her, her face as pale as Yuan Ge's at the moment.

She racked her brains to make up for the sin that she almost blurted out, "Obviously...Obviously you were no longer breathing when you were rescued! You are not Wen Qian, you must not be Wen Qian, Wen Qian is dead! You, you, you are the water ghost that has resurrected from the dead! Yes, you are a water ghost!"

A water ghost that has resurrected from a dead body... It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying this, Yuan Ge thought happily.

However, the discussion of ghosts and gods is a taboo, not to mention that it is on the "happy occasion" of the Wen and Song families. Madam Tong frowned and called out in a cold voice, "Wanzhen, stop talking nonsense."
