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

The wooden door creaked open, and a refreshed Lord Song came in with breakfast. Seeing Yuan Ge sitting on the bed in a daze, he smiled faintly, "Awake?"

We slept in the same bed last night, so it was a bit awkward and embarrassing to see each other now.

Yuan Ge pulled the quilt up, lowered his eyebrows and responded softly, "Yeah."

Song Wenyuan put down the tray in his hand, took the outer robe from his cloak and said with a smile, "Now that you are awake, get up and wash up. Jianshu is serving in grandfather's courtyard now, so there is no one around you. I will go to the kitchen to bring breakfast. After you finish eating, will you accompany me to go somewhere?"

This is Zhixuan Mountain. How could he, who just arrived yesterday, know where to go? Yuan Ge asked him while putting on his shoes, "Where are you going?"

"It's a rare trip to Zhixuan Mountain, so I have to go see my parents and brother." Song Wenyuan helped Yuan Ge put on his clothes, paused, and then said softly, "I also want to see... you."

This statement would have seemed particularly strange in any situation, but here it only revealed a hint of sadness. The dark pupils trembled slightly, then slowly drooped, and after a while, "Okay..."

……

It's not like he had never seen his own tombstone and tablet before. He was still joking about it when he went up the mountain that day, but he was no longer in the mood today. Yuan Ge watched Song Wenyuan burn incense and pay respects in front of the tablets of his parents and brother, and finally stood in front of his own tablet. He pursed his lips, but he couldn't be funny after all.

That was her, but it seemed not to be her anymore.

She is Yuan Ge and also Wen Qian, but to put it another way, she seems to be neither Yuan Ge nor Wen Qian. It seems that no matter who she is, there is a sense of alienation and strangeness. She turned around and walked out silently.

Not long after, Song Wenyuan followed her out, and seeing her dejected expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Ge lowered his eyes and shook his head, saying that it was nothing. His gaze fell on the mountains in the distance. After a long while, he said softly, "Maybe I am the only one in the world who can stand in front of my own tablet... It feels quite novel."

That's what she said, but her expression was completely different. Song Wenyuan tilted his head to look at her, gently held the little girl in his arms, and said, "Yuan Ge, when I am a hundred years old, bury me here too."

"Huh?" Yuan Ge looked back at him. The Bo Mansion had its own ancestral hall. He was the legitimate son and the next head of the Bo Mansion. How could he be buried outside?

"I have been thinking that you and I are husband and wife, and we should live and die together... After a hundred years, our souls will cross the Naihe Bridge, but our bodies will remain in this world. If I bring you back to the Song Family Ancestral Hall, there will always be Wen Qian between us. It would be better for me to come here to accompany you... What do you say?"

He held her in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, and whispered softly about what would happen after his death in front of this forbidden cliff. It was inexplicably appropriate. Yuan Ge's unclear loneliness was completely gone, and he looked back and joked, "Now it seems that my Yuan family has died out. I'm afraid that no one will worship me after I die. Lord Song, think about it. I'm afraid that I won't even get half a cent of the incense after I go to the underworld."

"That's easy. When we have a child, let him have the surname Yuan, so that the family line won't be broken." Song Wenyuan lowered his eyebrows and chuckled. His eyes fell on the other's slightly raised mouth. He leaned forward and kissed him, then said, "When Xu Chengjin came to Zhixuan Mountain in the early years, he also mentioned inviting me to come with him, but I refused. Now that I think about it, I really regret it..."

If she had gone up the mountain with Xu Chengjin, there would be a little bit of her own shadow in the past about Yuan Ge, and even... everything would have a different ending. She would not fall off the cliff, die, or be bitten by poisonous snakes. She would still be the omnipotent, arrogant, and dazzling Yuan Ge, his wife. But these words eventually turned into a silent sigh, "Go back."

Halfway through the journey, the trees were already waiting there in an orderly manner.

"Young Madam." Lin Mu saluted Yuan Ge first, then turned to Song Wenyuan and said, "Master, Yanhuo and I found Honglan in the wooden house halfway up the mountain."

Yuan Ge was surprised, "Hong Lan... is in Zhixuan Mountain?"

Lin Mu followed behind, wondering why the young lady of Zhixuan Mountain didn't know Hong Lan, but he still explained honestly and patiently, "Yes. Not long after I and my master set out, we received a pigeon message from Shengjing saying that Hong Lan had run away. We thought that since she was related to the Second Prince and Jin Su, she might also be from Zhixuan Mountain, so we took Hong Lan's portrait and asked along the way, and only got the news at the foot of the mountain."

"It is said that this Hong Lan looks exactly like the accountant of the Third Elder. They also have similar names. The accountant's name is Hong Jie'er. Has the young lady ever heard of this name?"

At that time, Lin Mu said that since the young lady was Yuan Ge, then Hong Lan must not be from Zhi Xuanshan, otherwise how could he not know her. Unexpectedly... she really didn't know her at all.

Yuan Ge shook his head, subconsciously glanced at Song Wenyuan, and then said, "I seldom go to Zhan Yanfeng's place. Even if we meet occasionally, we usually part on bad terms. He thinks I am stubborn and unrepentant, and I think he is stubborn and rigid, acting like an old scholar all day long, which is really boring. So I really don't know who are the people in his courtyard... I just heard that there should be no women."

Lin Mu clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I caught her in a wooden house halfway up the mountain. The house looks quite old, maybe she lived there before."

Zhan Yanfeng's accountant actually lives outside?

Besides, all the business on the mountain has been managed by Zhuang Lichuan in recent years. How many businesses under Zhan Yanfeng need the help of an accountant? Yuan Ge was suspicious, so he kept silent. He just lowered his head, kicked the stones on the mountain road, and walked absent-mindedly.

Song Wenyuan pulled her towards him and asked Lin Mu, "Where is he now?"

"It's in the courtyard where you live. Master Xu and Yan Huo are watching. Even if the Third Elder comes, he can't escape."

After saying that, he secretly glanced at Yuan Ge. From Lin Mu's perspective, he could only see Yuan Ge's back, and nothing else. But he kept stealthily glancing at him, and Yuan Ge couldn't stand it anymore. He turned around and rolled his eyes at him, "If you have something to say, just say it. What does this little wife mean?"

This tone is strangely familiar.

During this period of time, the young lady treated him more kindly and easy-going, which made him forget how the young lady bullied him when he first entered the mansion - now she is so reckless and arrogant, not like a girl at all! Well, no need to ask, this is what the rumored witch of Zhixuan Mountain looks like! No doubt!

Lin Mu touched his nose and said, "No, no, my eyesight is just not good..."
