Reborn, meet you again!

Song Wan's eyes then moved to the teahouse's signboard, and she saw the three large characters "Mingxianglou" painted in gold on it.

Mingxiang Tower?

This is... the property of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

She still remembered that it was the third year after he and Yun Zheng got engaged. One time, she found a good bow and excitedly broke into Yun Zheng's study, where she accidentally saw it from the account book in his hand.

However, Tianqi allowed officials to own private property. It was a bit strange that King Huai came in a sedan chair that was not suitable for his status and was so sneaky...

Song Wan subconsciously kept an eye on the situation outside the teahouse, but found nothing unusual.

A quarter of an hour later, just when Song Wan thought she might have overthought, another familiar figure appeared before her.

Although the woman was wearing a hat that covered her face, she could recognize her figure and clothes at a glance.

It’s Song Yan.

But just now at the Prime Minister's Residence, didn't Song Yan say that she wanted to go boating on the lake with Song Jing?

Why are you alone in this teahouse?

Song Wan frowned slightly as she thought about it, and couldn't help but stare at the door of the teahouse more carefully.

After Song Yan entered the teahouse, several other people came together to enter the teahouse. However, before they entered the door, they were stopped by a man dressed as a waiter, who said something and then walked out.

"Miss, the snacks are ready, let's go!" At this time, Luoluo entered the private room carrying a box of snacks.

Song Wan thought for a moment and then said to Luoluo.

"I suddenly remembered that Miss Fang also likes the Xiangyun Ruyi Cake from the teahouse across the street. Go buy another box and we can bring it over together."

Luoluo looked at the pastries in her hand and felt a little puzzled. Even if Miss Fang liked to eat them, what she bought today should be enough.

But since the young lady had instructed her, she didn't say anything.

"Yes, Miss, I will go right away..."

Luoluo said this, put the snack box in her hand on the table in front of the young lady, and turned to walk out.

……

At this time, in Mingxiang Tower, Song Yan was sitting opposite King Huai, and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle.

Song Yan had a bit of anxiety on his face as he stared at King Huai. It seemed that he was stimulated by something King Huai said, and his tone became a little higher.

"King Huai has gone back on his word. Aren't you afraid that I will make public what happened back then?"

Compared with Song Yan's somewhat excited mood, King Huai was calm and composed. He even poured himself a cup of tea leisurely and spoke slowly.

"What happened back then?"

"Miss Song San is referring to you betraying my eldest sister, telling me the true identity of her lover and the news that he was planning to assassinate the late queen, and asking me to ambush and kill him in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Or did you trick Song Wan into going to the City God Temple and trying to have someone discredit her, causing her to become seriously ill?"

Song Yan's face turned pale when he heard this.

"What does King Huai mean by this?"

"That was a heroic rescue scene you arranged for me so the prince could get closer to my eldest sister! I was just following your plan."

"You promised me that if I could help you accomplish this, you would agree to let the prince accept me as your wife once the Huai Palace was completed."

"Now I have done what I promised. I helped you find the man that your eldest sister loves, and I also told you all her preferences. That's why the prince was able to marry your eldest sister so smoothly."

"If King Huai wants to break his promise... I will no longer keep my mouth shut about what happened back then!"

Yun Xiao chuckled when he heard this, as if he didn't care at all about Song Yan's threat.

"Is Miss Song San confused?"

"I am completely unaware of what you just said. My son simply happened to be passing by and saved the Song family's distressed eldest daughter. That's how we met and became married."

"Miss Song San, please don't lie..."

Seeing that King Huai completely denied what happened back then, Song Yan couldn't help but bite her lip.

Although she was well aware of the plans of Prince Huai's Mansion, she felt that it was understandable that Prince Huai and Prince Yun wanted to replace the previous emperor since he was incompetent.

But in her eyes, King Huai has always been a modest gentleman who keeps his word. After all, a man who can teach Prince Izumo to be so upright and kind must not be too bad.

Who would have thought that now, he suddenly changed his attitude.

"Does King Huai think that he can cover up what happened back then by simply saying he knew nothing about it?"

"If I tell my father about your plot, does King Huai think he will let you go?"

Upon hearing this, King Huai just chuckled calmly.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is now at the end of its strength. Do you think your father is still a threat to me now?"

"Miss Song, if you have anything to say, go ahead! But... if your father knew what you've done, would he still recognize you as his daughter?"

King Huai took a sip of tea and continued.

"Miss Song San should be aware that in Song Yi's heart, the combined weight of you, your brother, and your aunt may not be greater than that of Song Wan."

"If it weren't for this, I would have let Zheng'er marry you. Why would I have gone to so much trouble to let Zheng'er marry Song Wan and exploit your father's weakness?"

"If you expose this matter, the price you pay will be much greater than what I will pay."

Upon hearing this, Song Yan pinched her fingers tightly into her palms.

It was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that she had no capital to negotiate with Prince Huai's Mansion.

But how can that be possible?

This was an opportunity she had earned by betraying her father and elder sister, abandoning her own conscience, and enduring the inner torment and condemnation...

For so many years, she has been waiting, waiting for the Huai Wang Mansion to be completed, waiting for Prince Yun to marry her.

Even if she shares a husband with her elder sister.

She also believed that as long as she was given the same opportunity, Prince Yun's heart would definitely fall on her.

How could everything become a dream in an instant?

As Song Yan thought about it, a sharp look flashed across his eyes.

"Prince Huai is so aggressive, aren't you afraid that I would really risk my life to drag your Prince Huai's Mansion into trouble?"

"Even a rabbit will bite when it's anxious!"

King Huai looked at Song Yan, who was a little excited, but still remained indifferent.

"Miss Song San, there's no need to scare me. Five years have passed, and everyone who deserved death is dead. Do you have any evidence?"

"How many people will believe what you say? Doesn't Miss Song Wan have any idea?"

Song Yan's eyes suddenly dimmed when he heard this.

Yes.

That person is dead.

Song Wan is also dead.

Most of these things were done by her own hands. Even if she exposed them, it would not hurt Prince Huai's Mansion at all except making her disliked by her father?

King Huai looked at the look in Song Wan's eyes and curled the corners of his lips slightly.

However, he did not continue to be aggressive, but suddenly changed the subject.

"Miss Song San, there's no need to bear a grudge against me. Zheng'er never had any interest in you. I only promised him to welcome you into my palace because I saw your infatuation with him."

"But now it hasn't been accomplished yet, so I can't be considered as breaking my promise."

"Also, if you're willing, I can give you another chance. As long as you do one more thing for me, the original agreement will still be valid..."
