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

Yuan Ge suddenly turned around and saw Song Wenyuan standing there with a gloomy face, staring at him silently.

To be exact, following the trajectory of his sight, he finally landed on the dagger in her hand that she had not yet taken back. The blood on the dagger had not yet dried... Yuan Ge's heart suddenly jumped, and he hid the dagger in his hand behind his back, almost making it more obvious. He smiled sheepishly as if he was feeling guilty, "Husband..."

Before she could think of a way to defend herself, Wen Peiji smiled and took a step forward. He stared at the woman opposite and asked with gritted teeth, "Why are we here? Before you answer this question, can you please answer this question first, why are you...Xu Yi, here?"

The distance was not close to begin with, and even if it was shortened, it was still out of reach. However, Xu Yi took a step back and almost bumped into the servant behind her in a hurry. She also subconsciously looked back, as if she was ready to turn around and run away at any time... That posture was somewhat familiar. Yuan Ge looked at the other party's beautiful eyebrows behind the brocade handkerchief and was stunned, "Ah, sister-in-law..."

Xu Yi jumped up and down instantly, "Who is your sister-in-law? Stop yelling!"

The woman who had made a grand entrance with her hands on her hips and made righteous remarks at that time, now looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She was fierce and looked a little more lovely. Even her slightly messy and casually tied hair exuded a sense of playfulness. Yuan Ge's eyes turned and he had an idea to kill two birds with one stone. He grinned and threw the "evidence" dagger in his hand towards Xu Chengjin without even looking at it. Xu Chengjin was so scared that he jumped up and took a step back, his voice out of control, "Auntie! How dare I touch your poison?!"

The dagger fell to the ground with a "thump".

Yuan Ge had floated to Xu Yi and took her arm in a familiar manner. "We have met several times but have never been formally introduced. I am Wen Qian from the Wen family, the half-sister of Wen Peiji... We felt like we got along well when we first met, and I felt like I had found a close friend when we met again. So, sister-in-law, can you let me stay with you for a few days so that we can have a personal chat?"

The servants that Xu Yi brought with him were all stunned. They came here aggressively, thinking that a fight was inevitable, but they didn't expect that before the fight on the first deck was over, they had already started to recognize each other as relatives and build relationships here? This... aunt and sister-in-law? How could they fight?

Xu Yi was also stunned - she was really stunned, her whole body was stiff and unable to move as if someone had pressed acupoints on it.

She has never liked to be close to others, so she has been traveling all over the country over the years without even a maid to serve her, and she has never asked anyone to take care of her daily life. This is known to everyone around her... Suddenly, someone took her arm and called her "sister-in-law" to get close to her. At that moment, her mind went blank. She just tilted her head and stared at the smiling little fox biting its tail and begging for shelter. She opened her mouth, but was rarely speechless.

How could Song Wenyuan not guess the little girl's purpose? He pressed the corners of his mouth and called softly, "Qianqian, come here..."

Yuan Ge did not move, still holding Xu Yi as if she was holding a life-saving straw, looking up at the sky and down at the ground, but not daring to look at Song Wenyuan, "Husband, you should take these troublemakers and Doctor Zhang back for questioning first. I will not go back yet, I will accompany my sister-in-law."

My sister-in-law said that you don't need to accompany her.

The servants behind my sister-in-law looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't figure out who was the troublemaker. After all, the others had spent money to eat, and only this group of people who were related to the master had knocked out a few guards and sneaked up. The one who drugged the guard now held their master's arm and said calmly that others were causing trouble... outrageous!

Only Wen Peiji thought this was feasible.

Song Wenyuan walked up to Xu Chengjin without saying a word, bent down and picked up the dagger that was still stained with blood on the ground. He lowered his brows and looked at it for a moment before saying softly, "I think I, as a husband, have failed in my duty. I only just realized that my wife is so skilled..." He looked over calmly, his thin eyelids suppressing the surging emotions in his eyes, and his fingertips seemed to unconsciously stroke the blade, neither fast nor slow.

Yuan Ge sighed helplessly, loosened his arm around Xu Yi, closed his eyes, and said, "The knife is poisonous, don't touch it. If you want to hear it, I will explain it to you when I go back in a few days."

"How many days?" Song Wenyuan's fingertips were still pressed on the blade, as if he was suppressing the emotions that were about to burst out. His voice was hoarse and obscure. "Then make up another outrageous lie to coax me?"

"Song Wenyuan..." Yuan Ge frowned and called him, trying to persuade him kindly, "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk after I get back."

"Then you come back with me now." Song Wenyuan insisted, his tone a little stiff, "Either you come back with me now, or we can make it clear here. Don't use those specious lies of yours to deceive me. Wen Qian, I'm not a fool, I can see clearly, I just, just..."

I’m just afraid that after I expose you, you’ll leave me… These words kept rolling around in my throat, and I swallowed them hard. What came out of my mouth was an even more stern rebuke, “I just don’t want to expose you!”

The gentle facial features suddenly became cold and sharp. Yuan Ge had never seen Song Wenyuan like this before. He was strange, cold, and distant. It was as if he had completely changed into a different person. It was as if a cold high wall had been erected between them. She frowned, and the last bit of her desire to explain quietly disappeared...

For some unknown reason, I suddenly felt tired and weak.

The sudden dispute caught the others off guard. Xu Chengjin coughed, stepped forward to smooth things over, fanning the fan in his hand that he had just used to kill people, and put his arm around Song Wenyuan's shoulders with a playful smile, "Alright, alright! What's there to quarrel about... Take these people away, I'll talk to you when we get back..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Song Wenyuan, "You want to explain to me what kind of filthy things you sent her to drink these days. Xu Chengjin, she is my wife, shouldn't you tell me if she has any health problems? When did you become so familiar with her? You always call her 'aunt'. She is your aunt, then who am I to you?"

Xu Chengjin also choked, and raised his hand on the other's shoulder slightly, maintaining a state of being about to fall but not yet falling, and about to rise but not yet rising. He clenched his teeth, endured it, and tightened his teeth again. In the end, he couldn't hold it back and cursed at Song Wenyuan, "Song Wenyuan! Did a donkey kick your brain?!"

Lin Mu, who had just solved the problem downstairs and came up happily to take credit, was so frightened by the roar that he lost his balance and almost fell down again.
