Shangguan Yu seemed to be interested after hearing this and looked at Jun Jiuchen with a sly look.

"Why do I feel that your attitude towards this Xiangfu is very unusual?"

"I heard that when we were returning to the capital from Mobei, you were the first to lead Suifeng on a thousand-mile expedition, rushing all the way to Leiyang. After you came back... you even vomited blood?"

"If I remember correctly, the eldest daughter of the Song family died in Leiyang..."

"Could it be... that you have some past relationship with the eldest daughter of the Song family?"

Shangguan Yu said as he moved closer to Jun Jiuchen, not missing any expression on his face.

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Song family fell in love with Prince Yun Zheng when she was just 15 years old. In order to win Yun Zheng's heart, she pursued him all over the capital, using every possible means. Everyone in the capital knew about it, and finally got engaged to him a year after she came of age!"

"Who knew that Yun Zheng's biological mother would pass away? She waited for another three years, until she was twenty years old, before finally marrying him..."

"Tsk tsk, that's truly a deep love!"

"And if I remember correctly, you joined the army exactly five years ago... When I first met you, you still spoke with a Beijing accent."

"Such a coincidence, could it be... that the eldest daughter of the Song family fell in love with Yun Zheng five years ago, and you, out of love turning to hate, fled to the frontier, waiting to return after achieving success... and she died?"

"So you're feeling dissatisfied and are taking your anger out on the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Shangguan Yu seemed to have glimpsed some truth as he spoke, and became more energetic.

"But this doesn't seem like you, or...was it Prime Minister Song who broke up you and Miss Song?"

However, no matter how carefully Shangguan Yu looked, he still couldn't see anything unusual in Jun Jiuchen's eyes.

He just looked at him calmly, without any emotion in his eyes.

"If you are really bored, why not go to the palace tomorrow?"

Shangguan Yu felt bored looking at his unchanging expression.

Yes, it was foolish of me to associate this person with such romantic things.

Really... what a waste of this face!

It’s strange to say, although this person is from “that background”.

But he had been in a place like the Shadow Pavilion since he was a child, where people were eaten without leaving any bones. Later, he came to Mobei and fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield for two years. Only then was he promoted by his old man.

But even so, there was not a trace of roughness about him.

If it weren't for the scarred body hidden under his robe, at first glance, he would still look as noble and unparalleled as he should be, as if he grew up precious.

But he clearly still remembered the first time he saw him.

It was a dark and windy night.

In order to gain merit, he sneaked into the Mobei military camp alone, burned the enemy's food and supplies, and was chased by a group of Mobei soldiers.

There were at least thirty or forty people in that team.

When they arrived, he was covered in blood and had countless wounds of varying sizes, but those thirty or so Mobei soldiers...

But they were all dead and died in a miserable way.

And he knelt on one knee in the dirty pool of blood, supporting his body with his sword, his scarlet eyes filled with undisguised ambition.

At that moment, he was wondering what kind of past would make him become like that...

Shangguan Yu thought about shifting his gaze away from Jun Jiuchen, and stood up and walked to the window.

"It's better to wait a little longer until you have a clear understanding of the little emperor's character before you waste my time."

Shangguan Yu stopped in front of the window as he spoke, his eyes finally falling on Song Wan and his group who were surrounded downstairs, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, isn't this the young lady I met that day?"

"Isn't she the young lady of some marquis's mansion? Why is she showing up in public..."

After being stunned by the woman's appearance that day, he asked someone to find out more about her. Who knew that he would find out that she was already married.

He felt very regretful for a while.

He had seen the little tricks that the Pei family played on the battlefield.

Who would have thought that after returning, Pei Qingyan actually established a relationship with the Queen Mother.

He didn't want this incident to cause any rift between his friend and the new emperor and the empress dowager, so he simply turned a blind eye.

The court can do without such a fool.

He could clearly see what kind of person Pei Qingyan was. He knew he was not worthy of such a beautiful and intelligent woman.

However, although he was determined to come back and marry a beautiful woman to comfort the spirit of his dead father in heaven.

He had no interest in stealing other people's wives, so he let the matter go.

Jun Jiuchen didn't know what Shangguan Yu was thinking. He just glanced at the three masters and servants again and said in a calm voice.

"Not anymore."

Shangguan Yu was just muttering a few words to himself, but he didn't expect Jun Jiuchen to respond to him. He couldn't help but look back at him.

"No longer?"

"What's not?"

But then he reacted.

"You mean, she's not the young lady of that marquis's mansion anymore?"

"That's not right... How do you know such trivial things?"

Jun Jiuchen remained silent.

Shangguan Yu suddenly understood.

"So, you asked me to come here early in the morning just to see this beauty?"

He was just imagining the love-hate relationship between him and Miss Song, but it turns out that this person is waiting for him here.

But before Shangguan Yu could say anything inappropriate, Jun Jiuchen put down the teacup and said.

"She's heading for the Prime Minister's Mansion."

This sentence is an affirmative sentence, without any doubt.

"Okay, don't worry about this! If you're tired, go back first."

Shangguan Yu raised his eyebrows and shifted his gaze back to the banner behind Song Wan and the others.

He checked the Prime Minister's Mansion for Jiuchen, so he naturally knew about the old lady of the Song family's eye disease.

And now...

Miraculous doctor Lu Ming, who can cure all diseases...

Also lure them with benefits.

It's quite interesting.

"I've suddenly become more energetic, so I'll begrudgingly sit with you for a while!"

Although he didn't know why this person was so persistent in attacking the Prime Minister's Mansion, based on what he had investigated these days, Prime Minister Song was actually someone he admired.

He didn't believe that he had really made a mistake.

……

Song Wan, completely unaware that she was being watched, was praising the street food with the two maids.

Although these street snacks are not as exquisite as those in the palace, they have their own unique flavor.

The sun is rising.

Perhaps it was because there was no follow-up to the excitement yesterday, and more and more people knew the identity of the girl setting up the stall.

So when Song Wan came out again today, there were more people gathered in front of the stall.

The way Song Wan was addressed was changed to Miss Jiang, just like the previous hawker.

However, among these onlookers, apart from those who asked about what happened yesterday like the small vendors just now, more of them focused their conversation on Pei Qingyan.

"Miss Jiang, tomorrow is the day General Pei is marrying the Princess of Jianing County. I heard that the Ningyuan Marquisate attaches great importance to this marriage, and the wedding procession will circle the city tomorrow."

"If Miss Jiang is still here tomorrow, you'll probably have to witness General Pei getting married. You'd better be mentally prepared."

In response to these words, Song Wan just smiled indifferently.

"Since General Pei and I have divorced, marriage and remarriage have nothing to do with each other. Whether he takes a wife or a concubine is none of my business."

The onlookers continued to indulge in gossip.

"After all, they are husband and wife. Isn't Miss Jiang sad at all?"

Song Wan just continued calmly.

"nature."

Well, although the focus has shifted a bit, it’s not a bad thing for her that people are curious about her.

What she wants now is to attract attention, right?

The process is not important, as long as the goal is achieved.

But before Song Wan could get the patient, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Isn't this Madam Pei? I thought I was seeing things!"

Song Wan raised her eyes slightly and looked at the man and woman in luxurious clothes who were blocking her view.

I thought to myself, it really is true that enemies will always meet.

"It turned out to be Master Xing."

Seeing that he still remembered him, Xing Zixian's smile grew wider. After glancing at the banner behind Song Wan, he said with some pride.

"Yes, it's me!"

"Why are you showing up here today, but your remarkable husband isn't with you?"

Song Wan looked at the pride in Xing Zixian's eyes and the words "Mrs. Pei" that he emphasized deliberately, and knew that he knew about her divorce.

If it were the old Song Wan, seeing him looking like he was asking for a beating, she would definitely fulfill his wish without hesitation.

But now she has important things to do and her status is different from before, so she naturally cannot get entangled with him and cause trouble.

I pretended not to understand the sarcasm in his words and replied seriously.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Xing. General Pei and I have already reconciled."

Xing Zixian pretended to be surprised when he heard this.

"Oh? Divorced?"

"Didn't you praise your husband to the skies the other day? Why are you suddenly getting divorced?"

"Could it be... that I did something unworthy of a woman, provoking the dislike of my husband's family and being driven out?"

Song Wan continued to reply calmly.

"This is my personal matter, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to discuss it with Master Xing."

"I am here today to practice medicine. If Mr. Xing is not here to seek medical treatment, I hope you can take your people and leave first."

"I'm very grateful."

The charming woman next to Master Xing suddenly smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and said to Master Xing.

"Xing Lang, please don't embarrass this young lady. Even if she did something shameful and unethical in public, she wouldn't have the nerve to speak of it so easily."
