Reborn, meet you again!

Pei Yujiao's coming-of-age ceremony was held in the main hall. The seats were fixed and not everyone could enter to watch the ceremony.

Jun Jiuchen and Yun Zheng were naturally greeted warmly as they entered the mansion, but Song Wan was led to the back garden by servants.

After all, the Marquis's mansion was originally given by the palace, so the layout of the back garden is quite stylish.

Among them, there are rugged rockery and an exquisite water pavilion built by the water. In the rippling pond, koi fish shuttle among the lotus leaves.

When Song Wan arrived, he saw groups of young men and women scattered everywhere.

Some were throwing arrows into pots, and every time someone hit the target, there would be applause and cheers from all around. Others gathered in the waterside pavilion, beating drums, passing flowers, and playing drinking games.

It looks quite lively.

However, as soon as Song Wan stepped into the back garden, she noticed many eyes on her, and then, the undisguised discussions reached her ears.

"Wasn't she divorced by Minister Pei? Why is she still coming to the Marquis' Mansion with such a shameless attitude? And she's dressed so extravagantly, I wonder who she's showing off to!"

"Who else could it be? It's naturally the young master of the Su family. I heard that the Su family will also be coming today. She must have heard about this and followed here on purpose."

"She's such a shameless person, seducing someone to come to her former husband's house. I don't know what the Ningyuan Marquisate was thinking. Why would they let her in for no reason?"

"That's right. Now she's no longer the young lady of a marquis's mansion, but the daughter of a lowly merchant. Letting her in won't pollute the threshold of the mansion!"

Song Wan listened to these words, but her heart remained calm.

In the past, she was the daughter of the prime minister, and when she occasionally went out of the house in disguise, she heard much more discussions than this.

Especially during the time when she was pestering Yun Zheng, she had heard the most unpleasant words.

It's just that no one dared to say it so blatantly in front of her at that time.

If she were to hide away and feel sorry for herself because of a few words from others, she might as well not live.

Song Wan walked through the crowd without looking around, wanting to find a secluded place to stay first.

But at this moment, a familiar figure ran towards her hurriedly, speaking with some nervousness.

"Sister Wan, why are you here too?"

Song Wan looked at Fang Yuan in front of her, whose face was rosy and had completely returned to her former appearance, and smiled.

"Someone sent an invitation, so I came over to join in the fun."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan looked around, then stealthily pulled Song Wan aside and whispered.

"Sister, why are you so stupid? Your relationship with the Marquis' Mansion is already awkward. What good intentions could they have in sending you an invitation..."

"What the hell is this excitement? It's not worth your while to join in!"

Of course she heard the gossip just now, but she was not popular to begin with.

If I rashly defend Sister Wan, it might backfire.

Song Wan couldn't help laughing when she saw Fang Yuan's nervous look.

"With so many guests in the Marquis' Mansion today, how could they possibly eat me? And if I don't come, won't they think I'm scared?"

"I know you heard the rumors about me and Su Ziyao, but there's no need to feel guilty about it since it's something I didn't do."

"As for you, you look so full of energy. Has your marriage been settled?"

Fang Yuan was secretly relieved to see that Sister Wan didn't mind the rumors.

"Sister Wan has really changed a lot now."

Although my sister was kind-hearted, she was very concerned about what others thought of her because of her background. Whenever she was around a lot of people, she would be extra cautious.

She was afraid that she would bring shame to her husband and the Ningyuan Marquisate.

Now that they are divorced, it seems that they have let go of a lot of things.

She was also happy about her changes.

Fang Yuan thought about it and put away his nervous look, revealing a bright smile.

"As for my marriage, you don't need to worry about me, sister. My mother and I have returned to my grandparents' home for a short stay. Before we left, my mother told my father that we would not return until he gave up the idea of ​​letting me marry into the Xing family."

"And I heard from mother that Xing Zixian made a big fuss after returning home. He pestered Madam Xing to cancel the marriage and said he would rather become a monk than marry me."

Fang Yuan snorted as he spoke.

"If he had agreed to reject the marriage proposal with me earlier, that incident wouldn't have happened that day."

"He did a good deed."

Song Wan said casually when he heard this.

"What about Lord Fang?"

Fang Yuan just responded immediately.

"Now that things have come to this, Dad's attitude has naturally softened. He even came to my grandparents' house the day before yesterday and said he wanted to take Mom and me home. But Mom said she wanted Dad to reflect on his actions for a few more days and spend more time with Grandma and my uncles."

"My cousins ​​have been taking me on walks these past few days to comfort me, but I don't want to go home yet."

As Fang Yuan spoke, he suddenly turned around towards Song Wan.

"Sister Wan, hurry up, how much weight have I lost?"

"It's strange to say, ever since I went to my grandparents' house, my appetite has decreased a lot. Even if I skip a meal, I don't feel that anxious anymore..."

Fang Yuan looked at the excited Fang Yuan, thinking that although he had obtained the Yao Peng, he still had no clue, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

If Yuanyuan knew that her father was infected with such a terrible thing and there was no way to break it, she would not know how sad she would be.

But at the moment, she couldn't come up with any good ideas, so she had to suppress her worries for the time being.

"It seems so. He looks much more energetic!"

"Seeing that your problems have been resolved, I feel relieved."

Fang Yuan nodded and took Song Wan's hand.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Sister Wan came just in time. I'm not very good at reciting poems or painting, and I'm bored, so I'm playing leaf games with my friends. Why don't you come join us, Sister Wan?"

The ladies who played leaf games with her were all from subordinate houses of her father's Ministry of War. She brought her younger sister over, thinking that they would not say anything unpleasant.

In this way, Sister Wan won't have to be left alone and ostracized.

Song Wan also knew Fang Yuan's good intentions and did not refuse. She just nodded in agreement, and then followed her to an inconspicuous stone table and sat down.
