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

It’s still the same teahouse, and still the same seat by the window.

A girl with her face covered.

But this time, the girl kept looking out the window, as if she was absent-minded.

Without the unfamiliarity of the first time, and without the thrilling moment that no one knew except herself, Wang Shanshan finally couldn't help but said, "If you are in a hurry, we can make an appointment another day." Although she said this, she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart. She was the one who made the appointment, and now she was also the one who was fidgeting. In this case, why did she ask her out? Fortunately, she heard the invitation, dressed up eagerly, and hurried to get on time, which made her look like she was short of food and drink in the Kejing Marquis's mansion...

It was our first meeting then, and I was probably in a bad mood so I talked a lot. Before leaving, I was so reluctant that I almost lit three incense sticks to worship the gods and worshipped each other as sisters.

But now, he was dressed in simple clothes, without any jewelry, and his hair was tied up with a few pieces of cloth in the same color. He looked like a country bumpkin with no knowledge... Wang Shanshan looked at him and leaned back subconsciously. For a moment, she couldn't figure out what had bewitched her that time, and she was almost dizzy. She would not even bother to pay attention to such a country bumpkin in the past, let alone sit with him to drink tea and chat... If she was seen by acquaintances, wouldn't it be a loss of her status!

Thinking of this, Wang Shanshan no longer had the patience to continue sitting down. Instead, the girl opposite smiled warmly and explained, "No, I'm a foreigner and I don't have any work to do on weekdays, so there's no rush. It's just that I heard that there was another murder case in Xishi a few days ago, and this girl is still missing and has not been found. Now this kind of thing has happened again, and I always feel uneasy..."

The girl opposite was naturally Jin Su, who was wearing a veil.

Jin Su sighed softly as she stood up to pour tea. She did look a little nervous. She accidentally filled the cup too full and some of it spilled when she pushed it over - it was really too embarrassing. Wang Shanshan thought as she took a sip of the tea before saying in a somewhat aggressive tone, "What kind of murder lawsuit is this? You guys are always spreading rumors! The injured person is my cousin, and he's awake now! Don't curse him for no reason! He's fine!"

"Your cousin?" The other party was slightly stunned. "Oh, by the way, last time you said that you were the cousin of that uncle's mansion... Ah! I'm really sorry, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart..."

"Hmph." Wang Shanshan snorted coldly, "Rumors are spread by people like you who don't know the inside story. In the end, the living are said to be dead, and the dead are said to be alive... Hmm? What is that, it smells so good?" She sniffed gently, her eyes fell on the other person, and asked curiously, "What kind of rouge did you use today? It smells strange."

"Rouge? I don't use rouge..." The other person picked up his clothes and sniffed them, and said uncertainly, "Are you talking about the smell on my clothes? That's the soapberry I used to wash clothes. I brought the soapberry from my hometown."

Then, she explained with a shy smile, "We poor people have to do farm work every day, and sometimes we have to feed pigs and cattle, so we always have some unpleasant smell on our bodies. Later, the locals used a unique plant of ours, crushed it and squeezed out the juice, and dropped two drops into the soapberry when making it. Clothes washed with the soapberry can retain the fragrance for a long time. But I didn't bring much when I came out. If you like it, I will send it to you tomorrow?"

When Wang Shanshan heard that the people who needed these were feeding pigs and cattle, she would never want them. She smiled awkwardly, "No, no, you don't have much either. I just asked casually. Besides, my clothes are washed by the maids in the mansion. There are so many clothes in the mansion and they are washed together. If you give me that, it won't be enough for them to wash for a few days. It's a waste."

When she said these words, she showed a sense of superiority deliberately. After she finished speaking, she raised her chin, but her eyebrows were drooping. She picked up the teacup in front of her, hooked her index finger and took a sip.

The other party, however, was completely unaware of her sense of superiority. He nodded very honestly and said, "That's right... I heard from people... your cousin was seriously injured, and he has recovered in just a few days? In our hometown, we say 'it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone'. The doctors in this big city are really good... Oh, no, your family is an uncle's mansion, so you must have invited the imperial physician from the palace, right? I have never seen what an imperial physician looks like in my life. Is he like what is described in the picture book, with white hair and a highly respected appearance..."

“Hey!” Wang Shanshan waved her hands, her eyes almost rolling out of her sockets, “Don’t mention it, it’s unlucky!”

The other person pinched a piece of cake, lifted a small piece of veil, ate it in small bites, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's my cousin's wife! She probably hit her brain when she fell into the water!" When Wang Shanshan mentioned the one from Luofengxuan, she wanted to set up a table and talk about it. "You don't even know, what she did was inhumane! My cousin was seriously injured and his life or death was unknown. Not only did she stop my aunt and me from going in, she also refused to let in the imperial physician who my aunt had politely invited back!"

The other party opened his mouth, "Ah...what should we do? Who treated him in the end?"

Wang Shanshan drank half a cup of tea in her hand in one gulp, and said with some regret, "No matter who treated him, just tell me if this is something a human would do. If a husband is seriously injured and unconscious, would a wife keep the doctor out?"

"Indeed... Besides, he is the imperial physician..."

"Of course! Even Dean Zhang was stopped outside!" Wang Shanshan finished a full cup of tea and passed it to the other party. Seeing that the other party was pouring tea for her honestly, she continued, "I now feel more and more that she and Xu Chengjin are not clear, but my cousin doesn't believe me. If it was really innocent, why did they stop everyone and let Xu Chengjin in? Could it be that the imperial doctors standing by could get in the way?"

The honest masked girl Jin Su pushed the teacup over and smiled good-naturedly, "Calm down, calm down... Now the result is good, it seems that Mr. Xu's medical skills are really amazing."

Wang Shanshan snorted with a bad look on her face, obviously unwilling but unable to refute.

Jin Su lowered her eyes, the smile behind her veil disappeared, and the corners of her mouth slowly drooped... She knew how serious Song Wenyuan's injuries were. She saw it with her own eyes in Xishi that day. She also saw... the dead assassins... the poison that could kill them with one blow.

Wen Qian, was she actually an expert in using poison? Or, was it given to her by some expert? However, the girl who died for love in the rumors, holding a hairpin and killing people with such ruthlessness, made people feel a little familiar.
