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

At the end of the forest, the horse that Song Wenyuan had abandoned halfway was spinning in place.

Song Wenyuan stopped walking, tilted his head slightly towards Yuan Ge, and said in a gentle voice, "Yes. If you need natural treasures, I will spend my entire life to find them for you. If it's a life for a life, I won't hesitate. But you and I both know that even if the evil secret technique is effective, the resurrected person is probably just a devil in human skin... If that's the case, I might as well go with you and go to hell together."

He was really thinking about this issue seriously instead of just saying nice things to make her happy.

Yuan Ge tightened his arms around the man's neck, and smiled softly on his back. After laughing for a while, he said contentedly, "Song Wenyuan, remember, there is no resurrection technique in this world. It is precisely because of this that life is so precious. So never ever think of exchanging one life for another and going to hell together."

The little girl's breath sprayed on his neck, and his skin was itchy, and the itching went all the way to the bottom of his heart. He suppressed all the thoughts, looked forward and said "OK" softly, and then said, "As long as you behave yourself, don't take risks, don't do stupid things, stay by my side well and healthily, I will naturally not have those thoughts."

Yuan Ge choked. Isn't this nonsense?

"Song, Wen, Yuan! You idiot!" She called out his name word by word, and she was so angry that her teeth itched. She bit his neck right there, and even felt unsatisfied, so she gritted her teeth. As she wished, she heard the man gasp, and then she let go, staring at the teeth marks that were clearly visible under the moonlight, hummed with satisfaction, and ignored him.

……

The Wen family went to bed early, and they didn't learn about the eldest young master bringing a woman back home in the middle of the night and directly arranging her in his own courtyard until breakfast time, from the servants.

Xu Yi originally said that she didn't want to live in the same courtyard with Wen Peiji, but it was past midnight, and asking the servants to tidy up the courtyard was too much trouble. If she woke up the master, she would feel even worse. So she moved into Wen Peiji's courtyard. Although the news spread slowly, it spread quickly! In less than half an hour, the old lady had already walked to the gate of the courtyard with a cane. She didn't see the woman, but she saw the little guy who was doing horse stance in a proper manner.

As soon as the little fellow saw the old lady, he rushed over and confessed with a giggle, "Great-grandmother, Zhuozhuo has a mother! Her name is Xu Yi, and she has a very big pleasure boat... Although it burned down yesterday, it doesn't matter, my mother said it will be fixed soon!"

The houseboat... She knew that Zhuozhuo had been living on that houseboat with Qianqian recently, but she had not received any news that the houseboat had burned down. She was shocked, "The houseboat burned down? Are you and aunt okay?"

"Zhuozhuo is fine, Auntie is fine, and Mother is fine too."

The little fellow called mother, mother very fluently, but the old lady was a little hesitant. She looked at Madam Wen who arrived later, then bent down and asked in a low voice, "That girl... is Zhuozhuo's mother, the owner of the pleasure boat?"

She naturally thought that the girl was still an unmarried girl, and was still worried about the girl's character and whether she would treat the little boy as her own if she got married. After thinking it over, she asked indirectly, "Does the girl have a good relationship with your aunt?" If it was a girl she slightly approved of, she thought it wouldn't be too bad.

Zhuozhuo was unaware of the excitement and anxiety in the elderly's heart, and laughed, "Yes! Mother has a very large and beautiful pleasure boat. She said that she has been guarding it by Zhuozhuo's side all these years, but she has never shown up! Great-grandmother, Zhuozhuo is not a child without mother!"

At the creaking sound of the door opening, the old lady suddenly understood what the little girl's rapid and excited words meant, and subconsciously looked up. In an instant, she was stunned by the bright and beautiful face even without makeup - she had never lost her composure like this in her life. When their eyes met, she didn't even know how to react or how to greet her. Should she call her "girl" or "grandson's wife"?

……

Not long after, Wen Peiji, who had already gone out, was called back.

In the huge reception room, sitting upright at the top was the stern old lady, and at the lower left sat Mrs. Wen. Opposite her was the equally silent but gentle Xu Yi, and Wen Yizhuo, who was clinging to his mother's arms and refused to leave.

Wen Peiji, who had rushed back without stopping, thought Xu Yi had run away again. He slowed down his pace, stepped into the reception room with his hands behind his back, and bowed slowly, "Grandma, mother... I left for some urgent matters just now. Now it seems that there is no need for me to introduce you. This is my wife, Zhuozhuo's biological mother, Xu Yi."

The old lady slammed the ground with her cane and looked at Wen Peiji with a stern face, "You sent Zhuozhuo to the pleasure boat. Did you know who the pleasure boat belonged to? That's why you sent your son there, right?"

"……Yes."

"Qianqian lives in the houseboat because of you?"

"that is not."

The old lady raised her eyelids and glanced at Wen Peiji, her voice cold and heavy, "Last night there was a big fire and the pleasure boat was burned. Fortunately no one was injured... But have you ever thought about what would happen if the mother and son were injured, or even, even..." The old lady opened her mouth several times but couldn't say the following words. She just pounded the ground with her cane in her hand, "Will you regret it then?!"

Mrs. Wen lowered her head, remained quiet, and did not offer any words of advice.

Xu Yi looked at the old lady, then at Wen Peiji who was silent. Although she felt that she was still an outsider with an awkward status and that this kind of occasion was not suitable for her to speak, she felt that it was unreasonable to blame Wen Peiji for this matter, so she moved her body and said, "Old lady..."

The old lady raised her hand to stop her from speaking, "Girl, don't say anything first, let me ask him, Pei Ji, if this is really the case, do you regret it?!"

Wen Peiji glanced at Xu Yi and said, "Regret."

"I have always said that it would be best if a man could achieve great things and bring honor to his family. If not, then he should support his family and take care of his wife and children. It would be great if the family is harmonious... But what did you do? I am old and my words are useless. Wait until your father comes back from court, and then you can go and explain it to him yourself."

Wen Peiji bent his back and replied respectfully, "I will always remember what my grandmother said. I was inconsiderate this time and I will never make the same mistake again."

The old lady's expression eased a little and she asked, "Have you investigated the burning of the pleasure boat?"
