Reborn, meet you again!

The long night passed.

Thinking that Fang Yuan should be awake by now, Song Wan set out for Jiang Mansion early in the morning to see Fang Yuan for a follow-up consultation.

When she entered the room, Mrs. Fang was sitting beside Fang Yuan's bed, holding her daughter's hand and crying. When she saw Song Wan coming, she hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and stood up.

"Wan Qiao, you're here."

"I heard everything about yesterday. Thanks to you..."

Song Wan looked at Mrs. Fang in front of her, who had obviously lost some weight.

Thinking that Minister Fang's personality had changed drastically most likely because he was addicted to the thing called "Yao Ping" that Jun Jiuchen mentioned, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

But since Jun Jiuchen told her not to act rashly, she couldn't tell her the truth of the matter for the time being and could only ask.

"Madam, you are too kind. Yuanyuan and I are friends, and I am also her doctor. This is what I should do."

"By the way, did Yuanyuan wake up after she came back yesterday?"

Mrs. Fang nodded.

"I've woken up and had some porridge early this morning."

"But when I asked her why she suddenly fell into the water, she refused to say anything... She only said that she was scared after escaping death, and she hugged me and cried for a while. Now she must have been tired of crying and just stopped."

"You've come just in time. If she wakes up later, could you ask her for me? She's your best friend, so maybe she'd be willing to talk to you."

Song Wan nodded upon hearing this.

"Then I'll take her pulse first and see how she's recovering."

Mrs. Fang hurriedly said "OK" and followed Song Wan back to Fang Yuan's bed.

Song Wan then sat down beside the bed, took Fang Yuan's hand out from under the quilt, and took her pulse. At this time, Fang Yuan opened her eyes as if she sensed something.

But when he saw Song Wan's face clearly, her eyes, which were originally bright and sparkling but now a little swollen from crying and had lost their luster, showed a trace of tears again.

He called out in a muffled voice.

"Sister Wan..."

Song Wan hurriedly helped her sit up and asked carefully.

"It's me. Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?"

Fang Yuan just shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Song Wan was still worried and continued to take her pulse before she felt relieved.

It's similar to the diagnosis yesterday. Although the lungs have suffered some damage, it won't be a big problem after a few days of rest.

"That's good."

"Yuanyuan, what exactly happened between you and Master Xing yesterday?"

Fang Yuan opened his mouth when he heard this, but when he saw his mother standing behind Song Wan, he swallowed his words, lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"I...just accidentally fell into the water."

The mother was already feeling depressed because of being grounded by her father and his recent attitude. She didn't dare tell her the truth about yesterday for fear of making her sad again.

Mrs. Fang said hurriedly when she saw this.

"Wanqiao, go talk to Yuanyuan first. The servants are making medicine right now. I'm worried, so I have to go and keep an eye on it myself."

Then, he took the maid in the room and left Fang Yuan's bedroom.

But he did not leave. He just signaled the maids to go out and close the door with his eyes, while he stayed outside the curtain and eavesdropped.

She knew her daughter didn't want to make her worry, but what happened yesterday was indeed strange, and she had to know the reason before she could feel at ease.

After hearing the door close, Song Wan's voice was heard again.

"Yuanyuan, I remember that ever since you fell into the water last time, you've been extra careful every time you get close to water. How could you accidentally fall into the water for no reason?"

"I know you don't want Madam Fang to worry, but now that she's gone, are you willing to tell me the truth?"

"Did you do what happened yesterday on purpose?"

Seeing that Song Wan had already guessed it and her mother had left, Fang Yuan stopped trying to hide it.

He just reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He nodded with a bit of stubbornness and grievance.

"Yes, I did jump into the lake on my own initiative!"

"But I originally thought that Xing Zixian was idle and fond of beautiful women, so he would be opposed to this marriage. So I just wanted to go boating with him and take the opportunity to discuss with him how to ruin this marriage together."

"Who knew that after I told him what I was thinking, he actually said he was willing to marry me and said a lot of nonsense..."

"What do you mean a wife is married for the family?... Since I don't like her and he doesn't like me, that's perfect. We can just take care of our own business after we get married..."

"As long as I don't care about him, he won't touch me. If I'm really lonely... he can go to that brothel and pick out a handsome young man for me to entertain myself..."

Thinking of what Xing Zixian said, Fang Yuan's face showed anger.

"He...he's just a bastard!"

Song Wan was not surprised when she heard this.

These words... indeed sound like something Xing Zixian would say.

Whenever they quarreled in the past, he was like this, unable to utter a single word.

"And then what? You were so enraged by him that you jumped off the boat and committed suicide?"

Fang Yuan bit his lip.

"Of course not!"

"Actually... ever since I fell into the water last time, I've secretly learned to swim. Today, I just wanted to pretend, thinking it wouldn't be difficult to wait for someone to find me and rescue me."

"I can also tell Xing Zixian and my father my determination."

"Who knew... that bastard would actually jump down to save me..."

"But if I had physical contact with him, wouldn't it be even more difficult to explain what happened between us? Besides, he saved me and complained about me being fat... I was so angry that I kicked him and tried to push him away."

"Then, amidst the shoving and jostling, my already mediocre swimming skills became useless... and I actually drowned."

Fang Yuan felt a little guilty when he said this. Logically speaking, a devil like Xing Zixian should not have jumped down to save him under any circumstances.

Who knew that he almost lost his life as a result.

She didn't know whether she was angry at him for ruining her plan or felt guilty towards him.

When Song Wan heard Fang Yuan's words, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Fortunately, Fang Yuan was not as she thought, unable to get over the problem and wanted to die to prove his resolve.

"No matter what, even if you no longer want to marry Xing Zixian, you shouldn't risk your life."

"Otherwise, if something happened to you, wouldn't your mother be heartbroken?"

"Even if you want to devise a plan to make your father understand your resolve, you can also discuss this with Madam Fang so that they can take care of you and ensure your own safety."

In fact, Fang Yuan himself was still a little scared.

"I understand, Sister Wan."

"I was completely helpless at the time. My mother was under house arrest by my father, and he was determined to force me to marry Xing Zixian. No matter how much I begged him, he remained indifferent."

"After I woke up yesterday, I thought that what had happened had already happened, so I went with the flow and told my father privately that I was seeking death on purpose. If he forced me to do it again, then whoever married into the Xing Mansion would be a corpse!"

"I just wonder if Father has changed his mind now..."

Seeing Fang Yuan's tears falling again, Song Wan hurriedly wiped her tears.

"Alright, don't overthink it now. From what I saw yesterday, even if your father didn't give in, Lord Xing and Young Master Xing might not want to continue this marriage. You should just rest and recuperate in the mansion first."

"And don't forget, your mother comes from a respectable family, and you have two uncles in office. This is the confidence of you and your mother!"

"If your mother is really determined not to agree, your father may not be able to do anything to her."

Song Wan said this to Madam Fang behind the curtain.

She remembered Mrs. Fang's footsteps and guessed that she must not have left.

After talking with Minister Fang yesterday, she realized that it would be difficult to start with him. What's more, he is now involved with Yao Ping and has become a completely uncontrollable factor. The only one who can influence Fang Yuan's marriage is Madam Fang.

Perhaps because of her past relationship with Minister Fang, Mrs. Fang still had expectations for him.

She had to make him understand that now she was Yuanyuan's only support.
