Reborn, meet you again!

In the back garden, Song Wan had been playing mahjong with Fang Yuan and the other girls for quite a while.

Since she could remember all the cards, playing with these innocent girls was not a challenge at all. While she was killing everyone with ease, she also won the starry eyes of those girls who didn't really want to play with her.

Fang Yuan stood aside, looking proud of himself.

At this moment, a strange little maid suddenly came over and whispered to her.

She said Su Ziyao asked her to come over and talk to him to discuss something that needed to be clarified.

Song Wan thought, what was supposed to come has finally come.

However, since she knew that Su Ziyao had ill intentions and was now in the territory of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, she naturally could not just let her leave the back garden like that.

"I am no longer a member of the Marquis' Mansion, so it is not easy for me to move around."

"Since Master Su said he was trying to clear things up for me, why don't you have your son come over? Everyone's gathered here anyway, and things can be explained in a few words. Why bother discussing it further?"

The maid looked a little embarrassed.

"Miss Jiang, my master said that this happened in the Bo's Mansion, and it was spread by people in the Bo's Mansion who saw it with their own eyes."

"If my young master rashly comes out to clarify things for Miss Jiang, it would be tantamount to slapping the reputation of the Bo family and would also bring hatred upon the young lady for no reason."

"Therefore... my master thinks it would be best to discuss this matter with Miss Jiang first, come up with a good excuse, and find a win-win solution. This way, we can clear Miss Jiang's name without bringing shame to the Earl's Mansion..."

Song Wan remained unmoved.

"So Master Su is in such a dilemma. But since that's the case, I won't force him."

"It's just a few rumors. There's no need to clarify."

"Farewell."

Since Su Ziyao went to so much trouble to get her to come to Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, he certainly wouldn't give up just like that.

She was looking for an opportunity to get him to explain the matter first because of the Jiang family's upcoming pharmacy, but she also had to choose the place.

Otherwise, she would rather not see him.

Song Wan turned around and was about to leave after saying this, and the girl became anxious when she saw this.

"Miss Jiang, please stay."

"My master said that he knows this incident has affected the young lady's reputation, and many families are unwilling to invite you into their homes for treatment."

"The girl's family's medicine shop is about to open, and it would be a shame to bring bad luck to her at this critical moment. He has no choice but to take care of her. Otherwise, his conscience would be uneasy."

"Since you don't want to go with me, that's fine. There's a pavilion over there. Why don't you go and wait there? I'll tell my master to come out and see you."

Song Wan nodded after hearing this.

"it is good."

……

Song Wan didn't have to wait too long before Su Ziyao appeared in the pavilion.

Since most of the people's attention was focused on the pitching pot competition, it did not attract too much attention.

When Su Ziyao approached, a hint of excitement unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

When he had looked at this woman before, he was mostly at a distance, but he had always felt that she had a graceful figure and unparalleled beauty. Last time at the Earl's Mansion, she was supported by the maid beside her and left in a hurry, leaving him no time to take a closer look at her.

Now that I see her up close, I realize that she is not only beautiful, but her skin is also white and delicate, just like the finest white jade porcelain...

It makes people feel more and more itchy.

Su Ziyao tried to suppress the throbbing in his heart and bowed to Song Wan in a polite manner.

"Miss Jiang."

Song Wan saw the covetous look that flashed across his eyes, but pretended not to know.

"Mr. Su is here, please take a seat."

The two of them then sat down in front of the stone table, and Su Ziyao immediately looked at Song Wandao with a caring look.

"I heard that Miss Jiang suffered a lot of injustice in the last incident at the Bo Mansion. I am really worried."

"I know that a woman's reputation is of paramount importance. I hope you can be more open-minded and not let those things cause you grief."

Song Wan just looked at Su Ziyao calmly.

"Mr. Su, you're worrying too much. I'm a divorced woman, and I've experienced harsher words and more embarrassing situations than this. I wouldn't let such a small thing make me feel sorry for myself."

"Besides, Master Su has already agreed to come forward and clear the name on my behalf. He can clear my name today. How could I be saddened by this matter any longer?"

Su Ziyao was quite surprised by Song Wan's indifferent attitude.

Now that the rumors are flying everywhere, he specially arranged for people to exaggerate the matter before she entered the mansion, leading people to slander her in person and make her anxious to see her.

Unexpectedly, not only did she not want to enter the inner courtyard, she also left without saying anything, and now she seems quite calm.

But...it doesn't matter.

As long as she came today, his plan would be half successful.

Su Ziyao thought about it and responded.

"That's good."

"Seeing Miss Jiang being so open-minded, the guilt in my heart has been alleviated a lot."

Song Wan didn't comment on Su Ziyao's pretense, and was too lazy to continue beating around the bush with him, so she spoke directly.

"Then I wonder what the win-win strategy Mr. Su wants to discuss with me is?"

Su Ziyao had already prepared his words, so he spoke without hesitation.

"After all, this matter was spread by the Bo's Mansion. If I truthfully say that I have no contact with the girl, firstly, the Bo's Mansion will be suspected of fabricating it, and secondly, I am afraid that others will not believe it."

"I thought it would be better to mix the truth with the lies. I'll just say that the young lady accidentally lost her balance and I happened to be passing by and helped her up out of kindness. Someone from the Earl's Mansion happened to see us and that's why they misunderstood. What do you think?"

Song Wan said immediately.

"Of course it's inappropriate. Master Su also saw it. It was clearly the maid from the Bo Mansion who was reckless and bumped into me that day. Moreover, there was no physical contact between you and me from beginning to end."

"If you really want to clear the air for me, you have to tell the truth. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives hears your explanation, they will interpret it as me deliberately falling down in front of you to seduce you, which will only make the truth worse."

"Of course, as I just said, if you are really embarrassed, you don't have to explain for me."

"After all, I am just a merchant's daughter, and I am already divorced. My reputation may not be as precious as that of the ladies in the capital. I will not bother you anymore."

Song Wan said this and stood up again pretending to leave.

Seeing this, Su Ziyao became a little anxious. His eyes rolled and he immediately spoke.

"Miss, you are right. I was not thoughtful enough just now."

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he continued.

"Well, just as the young lady said, tell the truth. I will first come forward to clear the young lady's name, and then persuade the young master of the Bo Mansion to bring out that clumsy girl as a witness."

"After all, the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion isn't unreasonable. They'll definitely understand. Miss, do you think this... is okay?"

When Song Wan heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

My father once said that in negotiations, anyone who is impatient will be at a disadvantage. This is more than enough to deal with someone like Su Ziyao.

So he stopped and lowered his eyes.

"Then I'll have to trouble Master Su."

Su Ziyao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her stop.

He had indeed intended to leave the matter ambiguous, but she refused to give in.

Well, how about he explain to her what happened that day first?

Anyway, as long as he can prove that she climbed into his bed today, he can change his story later...
