Reborn, meet you again!

The man in white quickly guessed Song Wan's intention after hearing her words.

When he saw the curtain of the carriage opened from afar, he was dazzled by the face of the young lady in front of him.

Now, after a closer look, he realized that this young lady not only looked more and more beautiful, but was also quite clever.

This Shangjing City is really a great place, I just wonder who this young lady belongs to...

How old is she?

Is there a marriage...

I silently repeated it in my heart a few times. Now we are not in the Mobei military camp. We need to have good manners.

He forced himself to swallow these presumptuous questions.

"I see, thank you for the reminder, young lady!"

"Just wait here for a moment, young lady. We'll find a way to get there ourselves."

Then, he waved his feather fan again in a dashing manner, walked to Jun Jiuchen and said something.

Jun Jiuchen's eyes swept across the carriage, and his voice, with a hint of indifference, immediately sounded.

"Huodu, go around to the right."

Upon receiving the order, the burly man immediately ordered the men behind him to line up again.

Seeing this, Song Wan also lowered the curtain of the carriage. Without waiting for their instructions, he took the initiative to instruct the driver to move the carriage as far to the left as possible, leaving space for the cavalry to pass through in a single file.

Then, a burst of horse hooves sounded past the carriage.

For some unknown reason, Song Wan lifted the curtain on one side of the car to look, but she only had time to see a black robe corner and a profile covered by a mask that quickly passed by, and was stopped by Mrs. Pei who had recovered.

The car curtain was lowered, and Song Wan's vision was immediately blocked.

As if to cover up her earlier display of weakness, Mrs. Pei put on airs again and lectured Song Wandao.

"What are you looking at? Be careful not to get into trouble."

"You were too rash just now! Since they've said they're going to withdraw, we should just do as they say. Why bother saying those things?"

"Your father said that this Regent is not a soft-hearted person. He used ruthless tactics during the march to Mobei! If you encounter him in the future, you must be careful, lest he bring disaster upon yourself and the Marquis' Mansion!"

Song Wan, however, had no intention of paying attention to Madam Pei, but was slightly lost in thought.

For some reason, although it was just a quick glance, the eyes under the mask made her feel inexplicably familiar.

But it was clear that she had never seen those eyes before.

Really...

Strangely tight.

……

After the carriage arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, Mrs. Pei thought about how she almost offended the Regent today, and returned to her room with some lingering fear.

But he did not forget the important matter and told his servants to wait for Pei Qingyan to come back and invite him over.

But when she saw Pei Qingyan, Mrs. Pei was shocked.

It was because there was a big bruise on Pei Qingyan's face.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with your face? Aren't we going on a boat trip with the young masters of the ministers and vice ministers today?"

"But what happened?"

Pei Qingyan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he pretended nothing happened and responded calmly.

"It's just an accidental injury while sparring with someone, it's nothing serious."

Mrs. Pei continued to ask worriedly.

"Nonsense! Boating is supposed to be a refined activity. Why would you want to spar with me for no reason?"

"If there is something wrong, don't hide it from mother."

Pei Qingyan didn't want to talk about what happened today.

"Don't worry, mother."

"It's just that some young men from military families suddenly got interested and admired my son's military achievements, so they 'discussed' with him and exchanged a few moves."

Mrs. Pei finally felt relieved when she saw that her son did not seem to be lying.

That's right. Now that my son is a new official in the court, why would others make things difficult for him?

Just looking at the bruises under her son's eyes, she felt a little distressed and couldn't help complaining.

"We're just sparring, why are you hitting someone in the face?"

Pei Qingyan finally became a little impatient when he saw his mother talking on and on.

"Mother, my son is a military commander. It's normal for him to get injured while sparring with others!"

"Besides, my son is a grown man. A minor injury on his face is not a big deal! Mother, please stop talking."

"Mother, is there something you want to ask your son today?"

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Pei had no choice but to stop talking.

After ordering the servants to bring some medicine, he sighed and got down to business.

"Of course something happened."

"It's been a while since you returned to the capital, and you haven't stayed overnight in Wan Qiao's room. Mother thinks she must be feeling resentful."

"Tonight, you go to her room."

Pei Qingyan was already in a very bad mood today. When he heard Jiang Wanqiao's name, he looked at his mother with a little surprise.

"Mother, you know I don't like her."

"Besides, I've already given her the position of principal wife and am willing to put Jiahe in a difficult position for her. What else can she complain about?"

Mrs. Pei looked at her son, who made her proud, and sighed again.

"Yan'er, mother knows that you look down on her, and isn't mother the same?"

"When our mansion married a merchant's daughter, people laughed at us. Mother felt bad too, and she knew she had wronged you."

"But now that she's married, you can't go too far. Apart from anything else, Jiang Wanqiao's beauty isn't an insult to you. As a man, how can you possibly let her suffer such a loss?"

"Besides, she is now planning your wedding with Jiahe. You should at least give her some due respect as a consolation."

Pei Qingyan listened to his mother's words and thought of Jiang Wanqiao's face, and a hint of emotion flashed across his face.

But when he thought of Shen Jiahe, he immediately suppressed the urge.

"I understand my mother's painstaking efforts."

"It's just that Jiahe and I have been childhood sweethearts. In the past, she was forced to marry a foreign prince, and I had no power to keep her. Now, I finally have the opportunity to rekindle our relationship, and she is pregnant again. My son really doesn't want to hurt her feelings at this time."

"Even if I want to consummate my marriage with Jiang, I have to wait until I marry Jiahe!"

"Mother saw it too. Jiang Wanqiao had the guts to confront me that day. She was quite ignorant of her own limitations. I have to suppress her arrogance, otherwise she will definitely bully Jiahe in the future."

"Let's discuss this matter later!"

Mrs. Pei actually agreed with her son's words in her heart, but when she thought of Jiang Wanqiao's dowry that filled several rooms, and the silver that was moved out of the warehouse like water today, she continued to persuade him patiently.

"That being said, Jiang has been very well-behaved and obedient in the three years since you were away. She probably got upset when she bumped into you that day, which is why she behaved abnormally for a while."

"After all, the doctor also said that she was seriously injured the day she attempted suicide. It was a miracle that she survived. You wouldn't want her to do anything drastic again and cause unrest in the family, right?"

"Besides, you also said that Jiahe had suffered so much before. After all, she is now getting married for the second time, so she is bound to be subject to gossip. Don't you want to give her a grand wedding ceremony so that she can be proud in front of her old friends? Now, only Jiang Wanqiao can do this!"

"Just think of it as Jiahe's sake and try to coax her. It's a crucial time for your career right now."

"A harmonious family brings prosperity to all!"

Pei Qingyan still felt a little unhappy when he heard this.

However, Mrs. Pei kept persuading him for a long time without giving up.

Pei Qingyan thought that what his mother said was not entirely unreasonable.

He really didn't want to let Jiahe down and wanted to give her a grand wedding ceremony.

From what her mother had just said, Jiang Wanqiao had really put a lot of thought into preparing the betrothal gifts for Jiahe.

He also engraved his and Jiahe's names on the jade ruyi, wishing them a happy marriage.

I think he knew he was wrong and was using this incident to show his goodwill to him.

Never mind, it's just a matter of time.

He reluctantly gave her some respect.

There is one thing my mother said that is true.

Only when the family is harmonious can everything prosper.
