Reborn, meet you again!

Along with the word "good", Uncle Fu's steady voice continued to reach Song Wan's ears.

"He was indeed picked up by the eldest lady. At that time, the eldest lady had just learned medical skills from Dr. Lu, and her interest was very strong. When she saw someone injured, she naturally couldn't help but help..."

"Besides... he is indeed good-looking..."

"Although he was covered in wounds when the young lady rescued him, and his face was dirty as if to hide his identity, the facts prove that the young lady's vision has never been wrong."

"That's why, after his injuries healed, the young lady... insisted on him staying to 'repay her debt' and serve as her secret guard for three years."

"At that time, we saw that Jun Jiuchen was quiet and not easy to get along with, so we thought he wouldn't agree. Who knew... he actually agreed."

"The Prime Minister became suspicious and met with him privately, fearing he was deliberately approaching the Prime Minister's residence for ulterior motives. However, he was very frank and simply said he was staying. Firstly, he really didn't want to owe anyone a favor, and secondly, it was a good opportunity to conceal his identity and avoid his enemies."

"At that time, the eldest daughter was still young, but she had a playful personality. She often ran out of the Prime Minister's residence without the Prime Minister's knowledge, and she didn't like Song Qi and Song Jiu following her. The Prime Minister thought that the Prime Minister's residence had many enemies in the capital, and was worried that there would always be places he couldn't take care of, so he let the eldest daughter's temper go... and let her stay, but asked Song Qi and Song Jiu to pay extra attention to her."

"So, he became Song Shi, the secret guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

As Uncle Fu spoke, he seemed to be immersed in the past.

"Actually, at first, we all thought the young lady was just acting on impulse and would let him go soon... After all, his personality was indeed too cold. Who knew he would stay for two years?"

"Although his temperament remained cold and he hardly spoke to anyone in the mansion except the eldest lady, and except for Song Qi and Song Jiu who occasionally challenged him to a martial arts competition, he almost never showed up in public. However, because he had never made any illegal moves, the Prime Minister gradually let down his guard against him."

"Who would have thought... two years later, the eldest lady... would actually fall in love with him..."

As Uncle Fu was speaking, he suddenly raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Song Wan before continuing.

"But he... seems indifferent to the young lady's feelings... The young lady, however, is unfazed and becomes more and more courageous with each setback... She even summoned several famous heads of the imperial court in the name of the Prime Minister, saying she wanted to learn... their skills..."

"Everyone in the capital thought the Prime Minister had changed his ways, and they all sent beautiful women to him to be his concubines... Aunt Wen was especially frightened for a long time."

Speaking of this, Uncle Fu had a kind smile on his face, as if he missed those times.

"That's how the Prime Minister learned of the young lady's feelings..."

"Although the Prime Minister is still worried about Jun Jiuchen's unknown origins, parents in this world can't always prevail against their children."

"The young lady was completely sincere at the time, and she even assured the Prime Minister that she would marry no one but him... The Prime Minister knew the young lady's temper, and if he tried to stop her, she would probably become even more stubborn. In the end, he acquiesced to the young lady's behavior."

"Later, the Prime Minister privately told this old servant that he actually had selfish motives. Given the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion at the time, he wouldn't be comfortable with the eldest daughter marrying up or down. However, Jun Jiuchen had told him... he had no family, and the Prime Minister thought... if the eldest daughter could "succeed," then inviting him to marry into the family, the young lady could stay by the Prime Minister's side forever, and Jun Jiuchen could always protect the eldest daughter. Actually, it wouldn't be a bad idea..."

"The Prime Minister also said that if Jun Jiuchen is truly devoted to someone, he will be more loyal than others..."

"Then... another half a year passed. We don't know what happened between the eldest lady and him. We only know that when the eldest lady was about to come of age, the three-year period was up, but he didn't leave..."

"There was a purse embroidered by a young lady herself, and a hand-carved peach blossom hairpin appeared on her head..."

Uncle Fu's voice slowly stopped here, but Song Wan couldn't help but feel a slight flush on her face as she listened to Uncle Fu talking about the past.

She had actually thought about it during the past two days. Could it be that Jun Jiuchen, the secret guard, was attracted to this "smart and beautiful" young lady, and then...

He secretly fell in love with her, and finally couldn't help himself and revealed his feelings. After saving her many times, he moved her...

But I didn't expect that this relationship was all "forced" by me...

but.

This does seem like something I could do...

Thinking about what Uncle Fu said... he was still looking for the leader to learn some "skills", and might have really used those methods on Jun Jiuchen.

Song Wan's face became increasingly hot. He raised his hand and drank the tea in the cup on the table. However, because he drank too hastily, he choked and coughed a few times in a hurry.

Song Wan felt embarrassed, but pretended to be calm and looked at Uncle Fu, saying as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you, Uncle Fu, for being so frank and honest. Don't worry, my father has already left for the capital. When he returns, I will definitely find a way to persuade the Regent to have a calm and collected talk with him to clear up all misunderstandings."

Uncle Fu watched Song Wan's behavior, which was very much like that of a young lady, and listened to her repeatedly calling "I" and "father".

She said it so smoothly, as if it was supposed to be that way.

What was even stranger was that when he saw such a strange face calling out such a name, he actually felt no sense of incongruity, and he couldn't help but trust the woman in front of him even more.

Because of this, his expression became a little complicated. He looked at Song Wan and seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking.

"If that's the case, it would be the best, but... Jun Jiuchen was already a bit paranoid five years ago. If he loves someone, he wants them to live, and if he hates someone, he wants them to die. Now, it seems that this paranoia has only intensified."

"Young lady, please be careful... Protect yourself until the Prime Minister returns and clears up the misunderstanding..."

Five years have passed, and he is still not sure what kind of feelings Jun Jiuchen has towards the young lady now.

The young lady is so close to him now. If he discovers her identity...

I’m afraid the young lady is in danger.

Song Wan listened to Uncle Fu's words and knew that he was worried about her.

But she couldn't tell Uncle Fu that she had already revealed countless flaws under Jun Jiuchen's probing...

Just to prevent him from worrying, I replied "Okay".
