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

When it comes to Yuan Ge, the four people present all feel heavy in their hearts.

Jin Yunian took the last bite of the Poria cocos cake and put it aside in dismay. After a while, he broke the silence and said, "Hey, is this thing... poisonous? Is there an antidote?"

"This is about Yuan Qi. Given her personality, if there is an antidote for this poison, I'm afraid she would have to search the whole world to find the antidote." Xu Chengjin slowly leaned back in his chair, his brows slightly closed, and he sighed, then said, "Although the uncurable poison is not fatal, it is very addictive. If you get infected, I'm afraid your life will really be over."

When he said these words, he was always looking at Yuan Ge vaguely, but Yuan Ge had a blank look in his eyes and was obviously distracted.

Yuan Ge was already dead, but he didn't expect to leave behind this mess... Jin Yunian looked at this and that, and finally swallowed the words back. After a while, he sighed with a heavy heart, "How did this matter involve Zhixuan Mountain? I went to a flower-viewing banquet and asked for a few jars of wine, but I didn't expect to expose this matter. I don't know whether this is good luck or bad luck. Do you think Tong Mingru knows the details of this thing? Oh, he must know, otherwise he wouldn't have sent people to steal it from me overnight... Then what does he want to do with this thing?"

Yes, what exactly did Tong Mingru want to do with this wine? Was it for the emperor, or for Qin Yongpei? Or, for anyone in the court, even... General Jin? Tong Mingru had it, so would others have it too? And who was the master behind the alley?

Song Wenyuan poured all the wine in the glass back, corked it tightly, and then told Jin Yunian, "Go back now and send those petty thieves to the Northern Pacification Office. There are Tong Xiang's spies there, so he will naturally get the news. You just need to spread the word that the wine we asked for from the Tong family yesterday was so bad that several jars were left at the Song family, including the jar of Tusu wine. Got it?"

Jin Yunian was not stupid, so he naturally understood Song Wenyuan's intention. He frowned and got angry. "Are you going to take this over? Song Wenyuan, we all know how serious this matter is. Tong Mingru will definitely find a way to get it back. Last night, he didn't have time to prepare, so he only found a few petty thieves to try. Tomorrow, there may be waves of assassinations and ambushes. Song Wenyuan, do you think I, Jin Yunian, am that kind of person?"

Xu Chengjin was not happy either. Jin Yunian didn't know that Song Wenyuan was poisoned, but he knew that Song Wenyuan was no longer as strong as before. He was just a slightly stronger paper tiger. He leaned back in his chair and fanned himself lazily, smiling, "Why not, just tell me. Then I can stay here and let my old man deal with it. It's a good way to end up with a lose-lose situation."

He doesn't look very decent.

Jin Yunian glanced at him, too lazy to bother with him. He sneered and tilted his head to ask Yuan Ge, "Sister Wen Qian, what do you think? Is my family safe, or is this damn Kejing Marquis's Mansion safe? ... Sister Wen Qian? Sister-in-law? What are you thinking about?" Seeing Yuan Ge's bewildered look, he reached out and pushed him, asking with concern, "Are you scared?"

Yuan Ge came back to his senses and shook his head, putting aside the vague, messy, unstrung beads in his mind, and turned to look at Song Wenyuan, "The little beggar in the dark alley is very suspicious."

"I know. I sent someone to follow me last night."

Yuan Ge then answered Jin Yunian, "The military family is indeed as strong as a rock, but if Tong Xiangruo wants to deal with the Jin family, he will not foolishly go for the strongest part of your family. He will only use dirty tricks to go after your weak spot. There are the old general, you, the weak young master Jin, and the Empress Xian, who is already walking on thin ice in the palace. In comparison, although the guards of the Bo Mansion are not as good as those of the Jin family, they are more likely to underestimate the enemy and neglect them. They will not go to great lengths to embarrass my parents-in-law. Their target is nothing more than my husband... and me."

"When the time comes, I'll have to ask Young Master Jin to find two reliable people to protect me secretly. I'm timid." As he said this, he smiled gently. He didn't look timid at all, but instead had a kind of calmness that was fearless of everything.

"No." Jin Yunian still disagreed. "If my mother knew that I was such a coward, she would have to skin me alive. That's something that even the old man can't protect!" He knew that Wen Qian was right. It was not easy for his aunt in the palace. When she came home to visit her relatives a while ago, she looked unhappy. After repeated questioning, she said that she couldn't sleep well... But, his aunt is a woman, and so is Wen Qian!

"Then there's no need to let Madam Jin know. I have an unsettled account with Tong Mingru, so it's a good opportunity to bring this together." He said calmly, looking at Yuan Ge with a soft gaze, and said calmly, "I can protect my people. I know a little bit about Tong Mingru's methods. He won't break up with me unless it's absolutely necessary. Go wherever you want to go and whatever you want to do during this period."

"Okay." Yuan Ge grinned, "In that case, I'll have to trouble my husband to protect me." The way she said this was playful and cute, as well as submissive and docile, completely different from the serious look on her face when she was analyzing the pros and cons just now.

Xu Chengjin stopped fanning himself at some point, and his eyes darkened as he pressed his lips together.

Jin Yunian lifted his robe and stood up. He bowed and straightened his face, "Sister Wen Qian, I am grateful for your kindness. From now on, you are a member of my Jin family, and I, Jin Yunian, am your brother. As long as I am here, no one can bully you, not even Song Wenyuan!" At this time, Young Master Jin still did not forget his mission to turn the tables and treat his brother as his own.

Yuan Ge was dumbfounded. She really wasn't good at dealing with such a situation... After a while, she opened her mouth and asked, "Where's the wine you offered me?"

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot! We need some snacks to go with the wine!" Jin Yunian slapped his thigh, stretched his neck and howled in the direction of Qichi Pavilion, "Aunt Gui! Bring me a plate of red-skinned peanuts!"

Aunt Gui came quickly, smiling and carrying a plate of peanuts, and put it down. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Jin Yunian, who pointed at the tuckahoe cake on the table and asked her, "Aunt Gui, this tuckahoe cake wasn't made by you, was it? Wen Qian is from my Jin family, so you have to serve her well, understand?"

Is this a tip?

Even though she was misunderstood, Aunt Gui explained with a smile and a good temper, "This old servant made it. The young lady doesn't like sweets, so this old servant changed the method... Master Jin, don't worry, we won't treat the young lady unfairly."

Master Jin was relieved.

Miss Yuan was embarrassed.

She dug her ears, leaned towards Song Wenyuan, and asked him in a low voice, "Is this guy...always like this?"

Song Wenyuan nodded with a smile in his eyes.

Xu Chengjin raised his eyes... Really, even the taste is the same.
