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

Although Wen Yizhuo's arrival caught everyone in the Wen family off guard, after the initial confusion and anger towards his rebellious son, everyone liked this delicate and beautiful baby from the bottom of their hearts.

Even Wen Changling, who was always serious, patted Wen Yizhuo on the head with an expression that looked a bit out of place. The expression was generally smiling, but everyone felt that there was something unfamiliar about his facial features.

The old lady was really happy, hugging Wen Yizhuo tightly and holding Yuan Ge's hand from time to time. She was so happy that her face had a few more wrinkles. She just smiled and occasionally sighed in silence, probably because she thought of the child's mother. After sighing, she asked about Song Wenyuan again. Yuan Ge replied perfunctorily while serving food to the old lady, "I'm busy, don't worry about him."

As he spoke, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some meat to eat, but unexpectedly, it was knocked away by another pair of chopsticks. The force was not strong, just a light hit.

Yuan Ge looked over and saw that it was Wen Peiji. This brother hadn't said a word since he sat down, and he didn't seem to have moved his chopsticks much, so why did he hit her chopsticks when he moved? She raised her eyebrows and asked silently.

The other person's eyes were deep and his tone was cold as he said, "Come out with me." After saying that, he stood up and walked out without caring whether she agreed or not.

Yuan Ge was a little confused. He turned around and looked at everyone present. After seeing that everyone was surrounding Zhuo Zhuo and not paying attention to this side, he stood up and followed.

Wen Peiji walked in front, dressed in black, with a straight back and unparalleled elegance. He stopped in the courtyard and turned to wait for her. Between his slightly furrowed brows were a pair of eyes as deep as the sea. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "What's the matter with your marriage?"

I thought he was going to talk about Zhuozhuo's mother, but it turned out to be about her marriage? Yuan Ge was slightly stunned, and shrugged indifferently, "Your Majesty has granted the marriage by imperial decree, there is nothing we can do."

"Father invited him and you today, but you refused to come just a few days after your wedding? The Northern Pacification Office can't do without him, and they don't even have time for a meal?"

Wen Peiji frowned, looking like a serious old scholar, with an air of "elder brother is like father". Yuan Ge felt a little scared for no reason, touched his nose, and said honestly, "I didn't tell him. He didn't know that his father wanted to have dinner with him, nor did he know that you were back."

Wen Peiji's brows were furrowed to the point of knotting. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out why Yuan Ge did this. After a while, he really didn't know what to say, so he asked again, "Then what's going on between you and the second prince?"

This guy is really... trying to get to the bottom of things! Weren't they "strangers living under the same roof" before? Yuan Ge sighed helplessly, "If I say... there is no relationship, would you believe me?"

"But they all said that you hanged yourself and jumped into the river for him... I didn't believe it at first, but I asked the old man who served you in the mansion, and then I knew it was true." His tone was quite earnest, "Qianqian, now you tell me that there is no relationship between you? If it is really groundless, why don't you explain it to father? You are the daughter of a minister, you are respected and valued, how come you have become so famous now?"

Yuan Ge sighed helplessly. She herself hadn't figured out the problem, so she naturally didn't know how to explain it. Wen Peiji was not like others. He knew Wen Qian better than Yuan Ge did, so it was not easy to make excuses. After a while, she pointed to her head and said concisely, "I was deceived by the villain, confused for a while, did some stupid things, and hit a rock when I fell into the water, which woke me up."

"The girl from the Tong family." Wen Peiji said with certainty, his eyes surging with undercurrents, and he sneered, "She's just a little girl. I'll take care of it for you while I'm still here."

When he said this, he was indifferent, calm, as if it was a matter of course, and looked down on everything. There was even a kind of disdain in his words, as if he was crushing an ant or a mouse. But that was... the Tong family. Even if she was born out of wedlock, she was still a concubine's daughter of the prime minister's mansion, not an ant or a mouse on the side of the road. Yuan Ge was confused about Wen Peiji, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just shook his head and refused, "It doesn't matter, you said it, she's just a little girl, I can do it myself... Besides, it won't sound good if you, a grown man, bully a girl."

"That's fine... In the past, you would get upset when I said something bad about her. Now that you can finally see the true nature of people, all the suffering you endured is not in vain."

As they were talking, a servant came running over breathlessly. Seeing the two of them, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, Miss, the son-in-law of the Kejing Marquis's mansion is here."

Yuan Ge was stunned, and subconsciously called him by his name, "Song Wenyuan?" He realized something was wrong after he said it - his eldest brother, who was unmarried and had a three-year-old son, behaved conservatively towards others. If he called him by his name like this, he was afraid that he would be criticized again.

As expected, the other party shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to give him "earnest instructions", he saw Song Wenyuan coming towards him.

Today, Lord Song was wearing a crimson purple gilded robe, with the hem brushing the ground, and dark silver feather patterns faintly visible as he walked. The black jade waistband tightly fastened his slim waist, and he looked handsome and noble after carefully dressing up. He walked over leisurely, glanced at Yuan Ge nonchalantly, and then nodded slightly to Wen Peiji to say hello, and went straight to the point, "I heard that you are back, and you brought a son with you. Congratulations."

His expression was so perfunctory that there was really no sign of congratulations, but the news was very timely and he even knew about his son's affairs. He was indeed a leader among the younger generation in the court.

Wen Peiji also nodded in return, "Master Song, you have come at the right time. It is lunchtime. Can you enjoy your meal?"

"Never."

It was obvious that everyone else had already eaten. Shouldn't everyone here politely say they had already eaten? Wen Peiji didn't know what this person was thinking for a moment, so he had to ask tentatively, "Then... just use it here?"

"The servants have prepared the food. It's really unfortunate. Maybe next time." Song Wenyuan finally seemed to be polite and said "next time", a polite phrase that everyone understood. After that, his eyes fell on Yuan Ge. The little girl looked up and down, touched her nose and the back of her head, but didn't look at him. He sneered in his heart and said suddenly, "Besides, my wife said that I'm busy and don't have time to eat at the Wen family. I can't... ruin her show."

As she spoke, she stopped smiling and her brows drooped slightly, feeling lonely and desolate after having given her heart to the wrong person.

"Cough cough!"

Yuan Ge, who was looking at the sky, the ground, touching his nose and the back of his head, but whose attention was all on Song Wenyuan, suddenly choked on his own saliva... If this isn't sabotage, what is it? ! This petty person who will take revenge for any slight!
