Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 162 Struggle

Before Yun Zheng could answer, Pei Qingyan seemed to have finally noticed Song Wan's arrival, and a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes.

He remembered that after Jiang Wanqiao married into the Marquis's Mansion, she liked to wear plain and simple colors in order to cater to his preferences and to appear more dignified.

Now she suddenly changed into a red dress, and her beauty was bold and bright. She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and her logic was clear, as if her whole body was radiating light.

Is this still the woman who tried to please him and tried to kill herself in his mansion?

Moreover, when he saw her standing side by side with the Regent, smiling at him in a way that he hadn't done in a long time, he actually felt a bit strange...

It was as if something that originally belonged to him was suddenly taken away by someone else.

He naturally knew that she had not only married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also frequently visited the Regent's Mansion with her medical skills.

But he always thought that maybe...

It was really just because Jun Jiuchen had some old injuries that needed her treatment.

but……

How could she smile at a man like that?

Could it be that... every time she goes to the Regent's Palace, she dresses like this today, trying to seduce the Regent with her beauty?

Not only that, he also heard from Jiahe that Jiang Wanqiao had attempted to seduce Su Ziyao at the Bo Mansion a few days ago...

An ugly freak with a disfigured face who can only hide it with a mask, and a despicable bastard who is addicted to sex.

She now...

Really not picky!

Just when Pei Qingyan was feeling a little annoyed, Yun Zheng's voice rang in his ears.

"What Miss Jiang and Master Shangguan said does make some sense."

"It's just like what Miss Jiang said, a gentleman's competition is about harmony but difference. There are those who enjoy this kind of competition, and naturally there are those who don't..."

"I've simply been influenced by my father's words and deeds since I was young, and I just happen to be the one who dislikes him, so my views differ from yours."

"But today we're not in the Imperial Academy, so let's just stop discussing this victory or defeat. How about that?"

However, Song Wan didn't want to give Yun Zheng a chance to whitewash the situation.

"The Crown Prince is indeed as radiant and bright as the rumors say."

"But I vaguely remember that the last time I went to Prince Huai's mansion, Prince Huai had someone falsely accuse my maid of destroying the imperial gift. He used this as a threat to force me to break my agreement with Prime Minister Song and not give him the money to help him settle the Mobei army. Instead, I would help Prince Huai deal with the earthquake in the south..."

"The Crown Prince was also present at the palace at the time, and presumably approved of Prince Huai's actions. Could this be what the Crown Prince meant by 'teaching by words and deeds'? Does the actions of Prince Huai's palace really qualify as a sign of competitiveness?"

"If that's the case, then what the Crown Prince said today... isn't it a bit of a reputation-seeking move, unworthy of the reputation?"

Jun Jiuchen looked at Song Wan, who was so ruthless in making things clear in front of so many people, and raised his eyebrows in pleasure.

"Miss Jiang, you don't know this. Some people in this world just don't like to fight openly, but are very good at fighting secretly."

"Perhaps... Prince Huai and the Crown Prince are the best among them."

Yun Zheng didn't expect that the merchant's daughter would speak the truth so bluntly in public.

Even though she had just found an excuse to ridicule him outside the mansion, that was in private after all.

The disputes in this mansion, like the intrigues in the court, will never be brought to the surface so easily.

After all, if you are not careful, you will get yourself into trouble.

But at this moment, he also keenly noticed some doubtful gazes falling on him.

Now that Jiang Wanqiao has made the matter clear, he can no longer remain silent and let the Prince Huai's Mansion be tainted with a stigma.

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng's face showed a hint of seriousness.

"Miss Jiang and the Regent are truly biased."

"My father was simply worried about the people in the earthquake zone day and night, so he mentioned this matter when Miss Jiang came to treat me."

"There's no way anyone knew about the agreement between Miss Jiang and Prime Minister Song in advance, so how could there be any talk of fighting over it?"

"On the contrary, it is an indisputable fact that Miss Jiang and the Regent successively destroyed the imperial gifts. My father, out of kindness, did not want to pursue the matter and took full responsibility for it in front of Your Majesty..."

"Today, Miss Jiang has turned the tables and slandered my father... It's truly chilling!"

After hearing Yun Zheng's explanation, Pei Yujiao could hardly wait to speak again.

"So, isn't Miss Jiang confusing right and wrong and repaying kindness with enmity?"

"You were once the eldest daughter-in-law of my Marquis's mansion... How come after three years in the mansion, you still can't change your despicable ways as a merchant woman..."

Song Wan just glanced at Pei Yujiao indifferently.

"Who is actually confusing right and wrong? Prince, do you know the answer?"

"As for Miss Pei, I still vividly remember you slandering me in the Dali Temple and being punished for it. Now... do you really want to argue with me about your character?"

"It's quite a coincidence that the scene where Miss Pei fabricated and framed me back then was exactly the same as the method used by Prince Huai's Mansion. And today, Miss Pei is defending Prince Yun like this..."

"You two really are so in tune with each other and have such a great understanding!"

"You..." Pei Yujiao's face turned red when she heard that.

She was so overjoyed at the arrival of Prince Yun today that she forgot for a moment that this man now had a sharp tongue and was ruthless.

But remembering the truth her father had told her, she really didn't dare to provoke her again. She could only hold her breath and stand there, not daring to say another word except the word "I".

Song Wan then scanned the faces of the people around him one by one.

"I know that my words carry little weight. Compared to what Prince Yun said today, not many people will believe me."

"But the reason I'm still willing to fight against a rock with an egg is simply because of my own personal experience. I also want to remind everyone present here not to be misled by appearances, lest you be exploited by someone with ulterior motives in the future without their knowledge."

"I believe that time will reveal a person's true character. One day, someone will understand... that what I said today is true."

She never thought that just a few words could change the reputation of Prince Huai's Mansion in the eyes of the world.

However, a thousand-mile long dam can be destroyed by a small hole.

She just wanted to take this opportunity to plant a seed in these people's hearts.
