Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 26 Stepping Stone

Mrs. Pei didn't quite understand what her husband meant, but she still responded.

"After something like this happened today, how could I still have the mood to inform her!"

Lord Pei nodded.

"That's good! Jiang Wanqiao is not sensible, but her father certainly doesn't understand..."

"What's the point of Jiang Wanqiao's dowry? If the Ningyuan Marquisate wants to truly regain its heyday, it needs both money and power."

"And the Jiang family is the best stepping stone!"

Pei Qingyan seemed to think of something when he heard this.

"Father, you mean..."

Lord Pei smiled.

"Although there is a relationship between the Queen Mother and Jiahe, the Regent is still in power at the moment."

"Once you've secured a real job, you'll have to make some connections. Some jobs have different approaches depending on whether you have money or not."

"Although the Jiang family is not well-known, the money they have is real. As long as we can persuade the Jiang family and persuade Jiang Wanqiao to give in, why not tolerate her for a while longer?"

At this point, a fierce light flashed in Lord Pei's eyes.

"When you have established a firm foothold in the imperial court, I will completely turn the Jiang family's assets into our Marquisate's..."

"You can find another opportunity to divorce her, or... make her disappear without a trace. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Pei Qingyan was shocked when he heard the word "disappear".

Although he doesn't like Jiang Wanqiao.

but……

After all, they were husband and wife, so he wouldn't take her life.

However, he did not dare to refute his father.

Well, if that day really comes, he will just divorce her.

"Father, I understand."

Although he actually disdained the Jiang family's wealth, he always felt that without the Jiang family, he could still make a way for himself.

But as my father said, if there really was a smoother path to take, there would be no need for him to object.

Lord Pei then nodded and continued to give orders.

"Okay, let's keep the Jiang family's letter for now and don't let Jiang Wanqiao know the exact date!"

"When the Jiang family arrives in Beijing, find a pretext to lure Jiang Wanqiao out of the mansion, and then... you will personally bring her back to the Marquis' Mansion!"

"Then we will decide what is right and wrong, and what is free."

……

As soon as Pei Qingyan and Lord Pei came back, they went to talk about what happened in Madam Pei's courtyard, and Hong Shang naturally reported it to Song Wan.

Song Wan originally thought that someone would cause trouble for her soon, and she could take the opportunity to propose a divorce.

But after one day, the Pei family did not take any action, and no one even came to her yard again.

At breakfast that day, Hong Chang was adding fuel to the charcoal fire in the room while looking at her young lady and reminding her.

"Miss, you caused such a big commotion with Luoluo, yet the Marquis' Mansion is still so peaceful... This is not like the style of the Pei family."

Song Wan slowly drank a mouthful of the hot chicken porridge.

"It seems that the Pei family's appetite is bigger than I thought..."

These past two days, Luoluo has been looking at her young lady's full warehouse and is very happy.

Listening to the young lady's words at this moment, my heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"Miss...what does this mean?"

"Does the Pei family still want to take the things back?"

Song Wan was actually quite surprised at the calmness of the Pei family at first, but then she figured out the key.

They were probably waiting for the Jiang family to come to Beijing to persuade her.

What a coincidence, she was waiting too.

"Based on the date father sent the letter last time, he and his men should arrive in Beijing in the next two or three days. Have you completed everything I asked you to do?"

Luoluo responded immediately.

"It's done. I've already had the house that the young lady bought cleaned up. We'll be able to move in once the mistress and the master arrive."

The house that Luoluo mentioned was prepared long ago by Jiang Wanqiao after he knew that the Jiang family was going to move to Beijing.

Song Wan nodded.

"Okay, starting today, you two will go out with me every morning."

"If anyone asks, just say that we're calculating the time. Father and Mother are coming soon, so we have to go to the new mansion in advance to make some arrangements and return by dinner time every day."

"Then send someone to guard the city gate. If you see my father and mother entering the capital, notify me immediately!"

The Pei family was probably trying to be the first to file a complaint, so she naturally had to give them this opportunity...

Although according to Jiang Wanqiao's memory, Jiang's parents loved her very much, the situation is different now.

The Jiang family came to Beijing with the support of the Marquis' Mansion.

She had to see what the Jiang family's attitude was when it came to interests, and whether they would sacrifice their daughter just to curry favor with the Marquis's Mansion.

After all, Jiang Wanqiao isn't the only child in the Jiang family...

And this result will also determine her attitude and measure towards the Jiang family in the future...

……

At dawn, it was a winter morning, the wind was cold and the world was quiet.

Only a few jackdaws stood on the branches, occasionally chirping, breaking the silence.

The house that Jiang Wanqiao chose for the Jiang family was only two streets away from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. It was a large house with three courtyards. The two big words "Jiang Mansion" were written on the plaque on the door, and the decoration was also quite exquisite.

Although it cannot compare with the Jiang family’s house in Jiangnan, it is still spacious and comfortable.

After all, we are in Shangjing, where powerful people are everywhere, so we can't be too conspicuous.

Around noon that day, the servant who had been sent by Song Wan to guard the city gate for two days finally ran away and reported back.

"Miss, the master and the mistress have already arrived, but before they even entered the city, they were picked up by the son-in-law and taken directly to the Ningyuan Marquis's residence. He said he was going to welcome the master and the mistress."

Song Wan nodded.

"I understand. Luluo, Hongshang, tell the people in the kitchen to start preparing the meal."

"We'll be back home in an hour."
