Reborn, meet you again!

After Song Wan and his group left Hongxiuzhao, they boarded the Jiang family's carriage.

Hong Chang keenly noticed that her young lady seemed a little worried. Thinking about what happened today, Hong Chang immediately spoke.

"I know that the young lady came here today partly because of me, but after meeting Miss Nie today, I have figured it out."

"Miss, you are right. I am me, and Miss Nie is Miss Nie. Since she has made up her mind, please don't bother with this matter anymore."

Song Wan was not thinking about Chen Tai and Nie Shuangshuang at this moment.

But...

Today, she smelled a familiar scent in Nie Shuangshuang's room.

Moreover, there was indeed something indescribably strange about Nie Shuangshuang's pulse, but she couldn't tell what it was.

It doesn't look like a disease, nor is it poisoning, it's just that the pulse beats a little faster than normal.

That smell...where have I smelled it before?

Song Wan thought about it and recalled it carefully in her mind, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.

correct!

It was in the Fang Mansion, on Fang Yuan’s father, Minister Fang.

The smell on his body that day was the same as the one in Nie Shuangshuang's room, even though it was covered up with the fragrance of flowers and powder, there was still a faint smell left.

The same.

But she had heard Fang Yuan say that her father had never been interested in women and should not have any relationship with Nie Shuangshuang. So where did this identical smell come from?

Song Wan thought about it and immediately looked at Hong Shang.

"Tell the driver to turn around, and we'll go to Fang's house."

……

When Song Wan came to Fang's house and saw Fang Yuan again, she immediately discovered that this most lively girl was obviously different from before.

Although he was still smiling when he saw her, there was a hint of depression between his brows.

The whole person still showed a trace of haggardness.

After Song Wan chatted with her for a few minutes, he asked.

"Yuanyuan, what's on your mind?"

Fang Yuan seemed to hesitate for a moment after hearing this, and then he forced a smile and said it in a relaxed manner.

"Of course there is!"

"My father hasn't let me go out much lately. He also told me to learn how to manage the inner house with my mother, such as keeping accounts, so that I can manage the household affairs well after I get married."

"You have no idea, those things are so boring. They really bore me to death."

Fang Yuan was not a person who was good at disguising herself, so Song Wan naturally did not believe her obvious insincerity, so she frowned and pretended to be disappointed.

"I remember Yuanyuan said that she regarded me as her best friend."

"Why are you refusing to tell me the truth now that you're clearly worried? Could it be that all the things you said before were just lies?"

Fang Yuan looked at the obvious disappointment on Sister Wan's face, felt a little anxious, and hurriedly pulled her hand.

"How could that be? Sister, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but..."

Fang Yuan paused and said hesitantly.

"So many things have happened in this period of time that I don't know where to start..."

Seeing that she was indeed worried, Song Wan quickly held Fang Yuan's hand and tried to persuade her.

"Since you don't know where to start, think carefully and then speak slowly."

"Maybe I can give you some advice and help you with some of the work..."

"If this conversation is too long, I'll shamelessly ask Madam Fang to let me stay tonight and sleep with you. Okay?"

Fang Yuan bit her lip when she heard her mother's name.

Now even she can't see her mother, let alone her younger sister.

But she believed in Sister Wan.

She didn't want to hide it, but she just didn't know how to start.

Perhaps because he couldn't see his mother and had no one to talk to, Fang Yuan thought for a moment. After going over everything that had happened in recent days in his mind, he finally slowly spoke to Song Wandao.

"Sister Wan...I'm no longer Fang Yuan."

"My father said that I was born with this appearance, and if I were given a name with the character 'yuan', it would only make me a laughing stock when I went out. So he decided to change my name to one with the same pronunciation, Fang Yuan."

"He also forbade the kitchen staff to cook any meat for me. Seeing how miserable I was, my mother secretly sent me food twice. When my father found out... he actually scolded her."

Fang Yuan seemed extremely aggrieved as he spoke, tears quickly gathered in his eyes, and his tone became increasingly agitated.

"But my mother said that my father gave me this name because he wanted me to have a smooth and fulfilling life."

"But now, in his eyes, this word has become his shame!"

Song Wan was also extremely surprised when she heard Fang Yuan's words.

This was not her first time at the Fang Mansion, and she had met Minister Fang several times.

But like Mrs. Fang, he has always loved his only daughter like a treasure.

How could he change his attitude in such a short time?

"Yuanyuan, is there some misunderstanding here? Master Fang has always loved you."

"Maybe... he wanted to protect you and couldn't bear to see you continue to be criticized behind your back?"

Fang Yuan's eyes were still filled with sadness.

"No, Sister Wan, you didn't see the way father looked at me right now... There was only disgust and impatience in his eyes."

"Not only that... he also asked me to marry that bastard son of Minister Xing!"

Song Wan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"Minister Xing's son?"

"Xing Zixian?"

As far as she knew, Minister Xing had only two sons. The eldest son was steady and had already entered the court as an official and had a wife. Given Fang Yuan's status, it was naturally impossible for her to be a concubine or marry a concubine's son.

Therefore, the bastard Fang Yuan was talking about could only be Xing Zixian.

Fang Yuan nodded angrily when he heard this.

"Yes, it's him!"

"Sister Wan should have heard of him. He's an uneducated man who spends his days hanging out in the streets, sleeping with prostitutes."

"I would rather cut my hair and become a nun than marry such a person!"

The reason why Fang Yuan was so upset was not just because of Xing Zixian's reputation.

Moreover, because Minister Fang had been in the Ministry of Justice for more than ten years and was the right-hand man of the Minister of Justice, there was a lot of contact between the Fang Mansion and the Minister of Justice Mansion on a daily basis.

But every time she met Xing Zixian, let alone talking to him nicely, it was considered a good thing if they didn't fight, because Xing Zixian's mouth was really poisonous.

She hated him so much that she wished she would never see him again. How could she be willing to marry him...
