Xie Chengqian's thoughts were elsewhere. He asked in a deep voice, "Who has Song Kangwen been in contact with recently?"

"They are all from the Ministry of Justice. This person has high expectations but low skills. He feels that there is no future in the Ministry of Rites, so he wants to be promoted to the Ministry of Justice. He also arranged to meet with him in the name of Lord Song."

Mu Yun had a look of disdain on his face when he reported.

Everyone in the capital knew that the Dali Temple Minister Song Wenyi was impartial and ruthless. Song Kangwen's action was to trample on Mr. Song's reputation.

Unexpectedly, the prince said, "Give him a hand."

Mu Yun was stunned again, feeling a little sad.

Now he is increasingly unable to understand the prince's thoughts.

……

The next day.

It was already late when Song Xiwan woke up, and her head was a little dizzy from drinking a few cups yesterday.

Song Lingxi's sobbing voice could be vaguely heard outside the door. "Sister, yesterday was all my careless mistake. Please forgive me!"

Song Xiwan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

What's going on here?

Song Xiwan got up and changed her clothes. When she went out, she saw Song Lingxi kneeling in the yard, crying bitterly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"What are you doing?"

"Lingxi knows she's wrong. I won't get up until my sister forgives me today."

Song Lingxi's cheeks were flushed from the sun, and sweat was running down her face. She looked like she was about to faint at any moment.

Song Xiwan had known for a long time that Song Lingxi would not give up, so she started making trouble early in the morning.

She asked playfully, "What did my sister do wrong?"

Song Lingxi looked at her with a stubborn and unwilling expression, "Sister, do you know there's a rumor going around that I was the one who wanted to make you fall into the water that day?"

Not only that!

The incident at the palace banquet last night was also exaggerated and spread out, so that outsiders thought that it was because Song Lingxi couldn't tolerate Song Xiwan that she resorted to such dirty means.

Song Xiwan was not surprised. After last night, Song Lingxi's reputation must have been affected.

"So, you are asking for forgiveness?"

Song Lingxi's face was pale, and she smiled weakly. "Just take it as that. Lingxi shouldn't have annoyed me and made me feel resentful towards her. Please don't be angry anymore."

Song Xiwan sneered.

Why does it sound like she is the one who spread the rumors outside?

He is using a self-torture tactic to throw dirty water on her!

"Do you really think so?"

Song Lingxi was stunned by the question, especially when she met Song Xiwan's half-smile, she couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

Shouldn't this bitch deny it to the death?

Song Lingxi nodded reluctantly, "Yes, if sister is still angry..."

Song Xiwan sighed softly and interrupted her hypocritical words, "I'm not angry, but such rumors outside are not good for your reputation."

Song Lingxi looked up blankly.

Song Xiwan added, "If they knew you were so determined to prove your innocence, the rumors would surely fall apart on their own."

Song Lingxi's face froze. Did this bitch really intend to make her continue kneeling?

"I……"

"Sister, don't you want to?"

Song Xiwan smiled faintly and blocked Song Lingxi's retreat.

How could Song Lingxi agree to this!

She came here kneeling early in the morning just to portray Song Xiwan as the one who persecuted her, so that everyone would pity her.

Song Lingxi gritted her teeth and winked at her personal maid.

Then he fainted.

"Someone come quickly, the second girl has fainted!"

The maid immediately shouted in panic.

Song Xiwan watched them leave with a sneer, having seen through Song Lingxi's trick.

She had important things to do today and had no time to deal with Song Lingxi.

Qiu Zhu was very worried. "Second Miss's fainting will definitely alarm the old lady. Should we go tell the eldest lady?"

This is the maid that A Niang personally selected for Song Xiwan. She is not only smart but also loyal.

In his previous life, Song Xiwan was able to hold on for three years in Prince Xuan's Mansion thanks to Qiu Zhu's company.

"No need, my mother is not in good health, don't let her worry about these things."

"Yes."

Qiu Zhu agreed obediently.

Song Xiwan asked her to prepare the carriage and go to Mingxuan Tower.

That miraculous doctor Xu should be there now.

The carriage passed through the noisy streets and arrived at a relatively secluded teahouse.

There were already quite a few customers in the store at this hour, so Song Xiwan went straight to the shopkeeper and explained his purpose.

"I want to see Dr. Xu."

The shopkeeper flickered his eyes and refused vaguely: "There is no one here that the girl is looking for."

Song Xiwan was not surprised, as few people knew that the genius doctor Xu had come to the capital.

She took out a silver ingot and said calmly, "I come here with sincerity. Please tell the shopkeeper that I know where what he is looking for is."

When the shopkeeper saw the silver, his eyes lit up.

Looking at this girl again, I found that she had an extraordinary demeanor and her words were unusual. I'm afraid she must be a lady from a wealthy family.

The shopkeeper's attitude slowed down, and he said awkwardly, "It's not that I don't want to help you, young lady, it's just that Doctor Xu left early this morning and hasn't returned yet."

go out?

Song Xiwan frowned and asked, "Do you know where he went?"

The shopkeeper shook his head. "I only know that someone came to see him early in the morning. I don't know what they said to Doctor Xu, but he left in a hurry."

Song Xiwan pursed her lips. Who is it?

However, at least Dr. Xu hadn't checked out yet, so she decided to sit here and wait.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down, I heard a lot of talk about Xie Chengqian.

"Although Prince Xuan won the battle this time, it was a tough one! If it weren't for Prince Xuan's efforts to turn the tide, I'm afraid half of the troops would have been lost."

"Prince Xuan has accomplished such a great feat and is anxious to return to the capital. I heard that he wants to marry the Su family girl?"

"I'll tell you something in secret. Someone saw the prince drawing a portrait of a woman late at night before he returned to the capital. These two were childhood sweethearts, a man of talent and a woman of beauty. It was natural for them to get married."

"..."

Song Xiwan's body stiffened slightly.

This Miss Su is the daughter of Prime Minister Su, a famous talented woman in the capital, Su Xunyao.

The two had been very close since childhood. When they were about to get engaged, Xie Chengqian was attacked by a wild beast during autumn hunting and broke both legs. No one mentioned the marriage again.

Song Xiwan couldn't help feeling depressed and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

In this life, she doesn't want to pick up rags!

Another half hour passed.

The shopkeeper walked up to her and whispered, "Miss, Dr. Xu is back."

Song Xiwan immediately stood up and followed him upstairs.

A Niang's health is what cannot be delayed the most!

As soon as he pushed open the door of the tea room upstairs, Song Xiwan saw an old father-in-law with a head full of white hair but a particularly rosy complexion, scratching his head and looking at the prescription.

Doctor Xu didn't even raise his head when he heard the noise, but just asked, "Do you know what I want?"

Song Xiwan had long heard that the genius doctor Xu was obsessed with studying medicine, and today she finally got to see it for herself.

"Yes, Doctor Xu is looking for the thousand-year-old snow lotus. I know where it is, and I am willing to pick it for Doctor Xu personally."

Only then did Doctor Xu raise his sharp and clear eyes with a hint of surprise.

"Then what do you want?"

"Please ask the miracle doctor to heal my mother."

Song Xiwan's attitude was extremely sincere.

Doctor Xu's eyes flashed, and then he looked at Song Xiwan.

Could this be the Miss Song that King Xuan mentioned?
