Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 108 Whistleblower

Seven days later, the last batch of Mobei troops were finally about to arrive in Shangjing.

In the past few days, Song Wan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to give acupuncture to his grandmother, and went to his father's study to discuss with him the details of the silver needed for the resettlement of the Mobei Army. The rest of the time he rarely went out, and only stayed in the mansion to prepare detoxification herbs for Jun Jiuchen.

However, there was one thing that surprised her these days.

According to the news that Luoluo girl inquired about, several officials from the Censorate have been reporting Pei Qingyan to the court these days, and they have been accusing him of having poor personal ethics.

Therefore, the news of his affair with Shen Jiahe before marriage soon spread like wildfire.

Song Wan was a little puzzled. Even though the two of them had done something inappropriate, they were married after all. It was definitely not the case that they would have to make a scene in the court.

After all, he was the Queen Mother's new favorite, so he had to give the best of both worlds...

But since that day, no one dared to come to the Marquis's Mansion anymore, and she was too busy to pay attention to them for the time being.

At this time in Prince Huai's Palace.

Yun Xiao and the Minister of Revenue Xie Yanzhi were sitting opposite each other in the main hall.

King Huai looked at Xie Yanzhi thoughtfully.

"You mean, Song Yi has never contacted you once so far?"

Xie Yanzhi nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Mobei Army is about to enter the city. Song Yi's behavior is extremely unusual."

"You mean... could he have already found a way to resolve this? And wants to catch us off guard?"

Originally, he was worried that Song Yi would come up with some method and force the people from the Shangjing Chamber of Commerce to raise money for him under the banner of the new emperor and the regent.

I specifically gave a heads-up to the people from the Shangjing Chamber of Commerce in advance, telling them that Song Yi was just a spent force and they didn't need to be afraid of him.

If he really comes to your door, just give him a few hundred taels of silver to send him off.

But Song Yi seemed to have no such idea at all.

There was no attempt to start with the Ministry of Revenue, which really left them confused.

Yun Xiao was already suspicious of Jun Jiuchen's sudden decision to hand the matter over to Song Yi. Now, after hearing what Xie Yanzhi said, he knew that something might be wrong.

However, such a huge amount of silver.

Where could he raise it without making a fuss?

Yun Xiao was thinking when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"I heard that the daughter of the Jiang family who divorced Ningyuan Marquis's mansion often came to the Prime Minister's residence to treat the old lady of the Song family?"

Xie Yanzhi immediately understood what he meant when he heard it.

The Jiang family was once the richest family in Jiangnan. As the Minister of Revenue, he naturally knew all about those who could be exploited and provided with a steady stream of silver and money.

When the late emperor wanted to build a mausoleum, he asked him to find a way to raise money. If Song Yi had not suddenly made a suggestion to the late emperor, the Jiang family would have been in his pocket long ago.

"Your Majesty, are you worried that the Jiang family will help Song Yi?"

But immediately, he shook his head again.

"impossible!"

"Anyone with eyes can see the current plight of the Prime Minister's Mansion. These merchants are the most capable of weighing the pros and cons."

"How could they come up with so much silver to help someone with an uncertain future and unstable status? Even the Jiang family can't easily come up with over one million taels of silver."

"Besides, it's no secret that Jun Jiuchen wants to use this incident to make things difficult for Song Yi and ask him to guard the tomb of the late emperor. Even if the Jiang family wants to find a backer, it won't be him."

"I've also heard that the old lady of the Song family had an eye disease and had invited famous doctors from the capital. I guess it was just a coincidence."

Yun Xiao's eyes flickered when he heard that.

What Xie Yanzhi said makes sense.

According to common sense, the Jiang family and the Prime Minister's Mansion were not related, so there was really no need to bet half of their wealth on a notorious and treacherous Prime Minister...

But at this moment, the housekeeper of Prince Huai's mansion suddenly walked in.

He first whispered something in Yun Xiao's ear, and then handed a piece of letter into his hand.

Yun Xiao took the letter and immediately showed a slightly sarcastic smile on his face.

He knew that the concubine of the Song family would not let him down.

I just didn’t expect that…

She figured it out so quickly...

He reached out and opened the letter, glanced at the contents, and suddenly a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

Although the letter did not mention what he wanted to know most, the hidden card in Song Yi's hand.

However, it was said that every time after treating Old Madam Song, the Jiang family girl would go to Song Yi's study and stay with him for a long time. However, Song Yi did not allow anyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion to disclose this to the public...

Yun Xiao slowly put away the letter in his hand, put it back on the table, and looked at Xie Yanzhi.

"It seems that we all guessed wrong."

……

So that night, Hong Chang handed an invitation to Song Wan.

"Miss, the concierge has sent over an invitation, saying it's specifically for you."

"The messenger also said that he was from Prince Huai's palace."

Song Wan, who was sitting at the table studying the antidote, heard the three words "Prince Huai's Mansion".

The hand holding the pen paused.

Then she frowned slightly, put down the pen in her hand, reached out to take the invitation, and her beautiful eyes quickly scanned it.

King Huai asked her to come to his house to treat Yun Zheng’s injuries?

But now so much time has passed, the injuries Yun Zheng inflicted on himself that day in the Prime Minister's residence should have almost healed.

At this time, what did King Huai ask her to do?

Thinking of the Mobei Army that was about to enter the city, an idea suddenly flashed through Song Wan's mind.

Could it be that King Huai had discovered something, and his real purpose was not to drink...

And she.

Of course I have to go.

Song Wan thought about handing the post back to Hong Shang.

"Take a letter for me to the Prince Regent's Palace."

"Then get ready and go with me to Prince Huai's Mansion tomorrow."
