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

Chapter 226: The Imperial Prison's Methods

The layout of the guest house is easy to recognize.

There were a few evergreen trees planted in the yard, a few clothes drying on the wall, some common stone tables and chairs, and a swing that looked a bit old, but nothing else. The cousin's room faced south and sat north, with the door ajar, but the maid led Yuan Ge to the west wing.

Yuan Ge paused for a moment, stood in the yard and pointed at the half-open door, "Can't we go to that room?"

A look of matter-of-factness.

The maid probably didn't expect that the "guest" would go so directly into the master's bedroom. She was also stunned, then said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Madam, my cousin doesn't like others to enter her room. I will take you to the west wing first, and then take the clothes to find you, how about that?" She seemed to have forgotten who was the host and who was the guest.

"Forget it." Yuan Ge didn't argue with her. "If I go back to Luofengxuan now, it will be a waste of time. Let's go to the wing room. You don't have to send me there. I know the way. Just go there and come back quickly!" After saying that, she lowered her head to look at her dirty skirt, shook her hand with more disgust, and quickened her pace to the west wing...

……

In the garden, the dishes were all served, but the maid said she couldn't find the wine she had prepared early in the morning. After all, she was a temporary maid assigned by Wang's family, so it was normal that she couldn't find anything. Wang Shanshan apologized to everyone and was about to get up to find it herself. Unexpectedly, she sat for a long time and her legs became numb. She stood up and fell again, and her ankle was twisted. So the cousin called out to the genius doctor present, "Mr. Xu."

Although a minor matter like a sprained foot did not really require Dr. Xu's intervention, since he had already been called, Xu Chengjin did not refuse. He stood up and walked towards Wang Shanshan.

After walking two steps, Miss Wang changed the subject and said, "These maids were transferred by my aunt. One of the two maids beside me just made a mistake and was punished, and the other took my cousin's wife to change clothes. They know where the wine is. Mr. Xu, please go and ask my maid to bring the prepared wine over... I'm sorry, I didn't expect so many accidents to happen when I invited you to dinner for the first time."

Song Wenyuan put down his teacup and stood up, "I'll go."

He always felt a little uneasy in his heart, with Shiyin who had not come yet, Wen Qian whose clothes were splashed with water, and Xu Chengjin who was deliberately sent over by Wang Shanshan - he vaguely guessed what kind of play was being performed today, so his face sank slightly, and he wanted to stand up and shout to end the show.

When it comes to planning to harm someone, ten Wang Shanshans are no match for Song Wenyuan, but with all these coincidences put together, it's hard for Song Wenyuan not to realize that there's something fishy going on.

Xu Chengjin raised his hand to press him, motioning him to sit down, "No need. You're already standing, I'll go. It's just a matter of taking a few bottles of wine... If you have the time, you might as well ask which servant did the job. The cobblestones were spilt with oil and not cleaned up. I felt my feet slippery when I came in just now... No wonder Miss Yu almost fell down."

"Oil?!" Miss Yu, who had nearly fallen, stood up quickly, "It was oil! I thought it was the dew that caused me to slip!"

"It's so late now, the dew has long since dispersed." Xu Chengjin glanced at Wang Shanshan vaguely, pressed the corners of his mouth, and instructed Song Wenyuan, "This is your family's matter. It's difficult for me, an outsider, to handle it. Only you can do it. Wine is just a physical job." After that, he waved his hand and went to the yard.

Yu Qingqing had already walked to the cobblestone, bent down to touch it, twisted it between her fingertips, sniffed it, and looked up at Song Wenyuan, "It's really oily!"

Wang Shanshan stood up with one foot, leaning on the edge of the table to look over here, and explained hesitantly, "Maybe a servant fell down and spilled the liquid on the ground. But this servant was careless and didn't clean up properly, which is why Miss Yu almost fell. Maybe the maid just now was the same. She slipped while walking and accidentally spilled the liquid on my cousin's wife... Cousin, don't punish her too severely."

Song Wenyuan leaned back in his chair and slowly glanced at all the servants present. He smiled faintly and looked intimidating without being angry. "Did he accidentally drop it and fail to clean it up, or did he deliberately brush it with oil to intentionally harm others? This young master has been in charge of the imperial prison for many years and never believes in the lies before torture. I will hang up and whip all the servants who entered and left this garden today, and they will naturally know what to say."

The servants knelt down tremblingly.

It was a fine day, and the sun was shining on my body, making me feel warm. But at that moment, it felt like a cold wind was blowing through the gaps between my bones, taking away all the warmth from my body.

Wang Shanshan felt terrified just by listening to this. She almost lost her expression and reminded him awkwardly, "Among them, there are people transferred by my aunt. Cousin, you should give them some face... After all, it's not a big deal. If it's too serious, my aunt might feel resentful."

Song Wenyuan put one hand on the back of the chair and asked with a lazy smile, "I just found out the servants around her who were harboring evil intentions. She was so happy that she couldn't wait to feel resentful. Besides, she and I are mother and son. There is no resentment between mother and son. It's all for the betterment of the Kejing Marquis's Mansion."

"That's true. Auntie won't blame my cousin." Wang Shanshan sat down slowly, clutching the back of the chair. But she was still nervous. Although she didn't know the tempers of these servants, she heard that there was no mouth that couldn't be opened by the imperial prison... She was worried, so she thought of changing the subject in a roundabout way. "But if a servant who is used to being used suddenly commits a crime, Auntie will definitely be unhappy. When the matter is investigated, she may vent her anger on my cousin's wife... My cousin's wife just changed her clothes, why hasn't she come yet?"

Young Master Jin's mind was not here today, and he did not see any clues for a while, but he laughed angrily when he heard the words, "I say, what's wrong with you, little girl? Whether the servants made an unintentional mistake or a deliberate mistake, it has not been determined yet, so we have to find out everything, right? What are you doing, stopping me from doing this or that? Did you spill the oil?"

Jin Yunian has been used to being straightforward since he was young, and he speaks directly without giving anyone any face.

Wang Shanshan was so confused by his words that she couldn't sit or stand. Her face turned red. "I, I... How could I do that! Why would I throw that stuff?"

Jin Yunian sneered and answered without thinking, "To ruin this meal! He said he would treat us, but he tossed and turned in bed at night and felt reluctant to leave, so he deliberately made all these things happen so that we can't eat!" After he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly fell on the corner of Zhong Wei's mouth opposite him. He was stunned, and the self-righteousness he had at that time suddenly disappeared.

My neck is red.

It is estimated that all the twists and turns in Mr. Jin's life have been spent on Zhong Wei.
