Reborn, meet you again!

Song Wan had just applied medicine to Luoluo when a servant came to report that someone was outside the mansion asking to see him.

Song Wan glanced at the darkening sky outside the window.

"Did you say your name?"

The servant responded immediately.

"Miss, he said his name is Chen Tai."

Song Wan was a little puzzled when she heard this. Why did Chen Tai come to see her at this time?

"Let him wait in the main hall, I'll be there right away!"

"Yes! Miss!"

After telling Luoluo to go down and rest, Song Wan brought Hongshang to the main hall.

The servant originally wanted to put up a screen, but Song Wan waved him away.

When Chen Tai saw Song Wan coming, he immediately stood up from his chair and bowed.

"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry for bothering you by coming here."

Song Wan just gestured for him to sit down and got straight to the point.

"But what's the emergency?"

However, Chen Tai did not sit down. Instead, he bowed to Song Wan again, bowing even lower than before.

"I am a humble person, but I am willing to follow Miss Jiang and serve her like a dog or a horse!"

Song Wan raised her eyebrows when she heard that, and became interested as she saw Chen Tai bending over and lying motionless.

"Oh? You and I have only known each other for two days. Why do you think I will accept your surrender so rashly? My Jiang family has no shortage of servants."

"Or rather...what are you aiming for?"

Faced with Song Wan's usual straightforwardness, Chen Tai just remained bowed and stood still.

"Of course I know that the Jiang family has no shortage of servants, but I've been hanging around in the streets of Shangjing since I was little, and I'm not familiar with the big and small things happening in the capital."

"I know a thing or two about all kinds of things, both visible and shady."

"From what I've seen Miss Jiang do these past two days, she might be up to something big. The Jiang family has just arrived in the capital, and Miss Jiang might need someone like me by her side."

"As for what I'm after... it's naturally money!"

Song Wan looked at him and saw that he was still wearing the long gown that had faded from washing that he had worn when he first met him the day before. He thought for a moment before speaking.

"If I remember correctly, the silver you took from me in the past two days alone is two hundred taels."

"If you don't squander it recklessly, this money is enough for an ordinary person to live a peaceful life for ten years. What do you want so much money for?"

She did listen to what others were saying that day.

It seems that he was trying to recruit a girl for Hongxiu.

But in her opinion, Chen Tai did not seem like a lustful person, nor did he seem like the kind of person who indulged in the pleasures of life.

After all, every time he looked at her, his eyes never showed the slightest covetousness, but were clear and frank!

So, she wanted to hear it from his own mouth.

Chen Tai didn't hesitate and told his story directly.

"I have a crush on someone named Shuangshuang. She suddenly disappeared five years ago. When I found her, she had already been sold to Xunfang Pavilion as a prostitute."

"Fortunately, I could still afford the money to redeem her from Xunfang Pavilion, so I sold my family's land and collected enough money to redeem her!"

"But just when I went to redeem her, the people from Hongxiuzhao thought Shuangshuang was a rare treasure and bought her away first!"

Song Wan understood after hearing this.

Hongxiuzhao is different from ordinary brothels like Xunfangge.

It is a famous red building in the capital. Most of the women in the building are well-versed in poetry and literature, or have proficiency in arts, which has attracted many elegant people, most of whom are nobles.

Naturally, the value of the women in the building is also extraordinary.

Chen Tai's voice continued to ring out.

"Since then, I've disregarded my dignity and used every possible means to make money."

"However, as Shuangshuang's reputation in Hongxiuzhao grows, the money needed to redeem her becomes more and more expensive day by day, far exceeding the speed at which I can raise the money!"

"Now, even if I try my best, I can only visit her once or twice a month and see her."

"Miss Jiang, these two hundred taels are indeed a lot, but for a whoring den like Hong Xiu Zhao, it's a drop in the bucket. I don't want to see her live like that anymore, so I'm taking a gamble and coming to you for help."

Song Wan listened to Chen Tai's words and pondered for a moment.

"From what I know, Xunfang Pavilion is just an ordinary brothel. Although the Red Sleeves Dance is elegant, it doesn't have the rule of selling art but not the body..."

Chen Tai immediately understood what Song Wan meant, raised his head and looked straight into her eyes.

"I believe that a woman's chastity is never hidden beneath her skirt."

Song Wan looked into Chen Tai's eyes for a moment with a hint of scrutiny. After a while, a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Okay, based on this sentence, I can give you a chance."

"It's just... you have to show me what you can do first."

A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Tai's eyes when he heard this.

"Of course! Please give your orders, young lady!"

Song Wan's eyes turned and he said nonchalantly.

"Tomorrow, the Ningyuan Marquis's wedding procession will go around East City. I heard that the betrothal gifts prepared by the Marquis's mansion for Princess Jianing are very generous."

"Tomorrow, I want to see those boxes containing the betrothal gifts displayed clearly before the people of Shangjing City."

"Let all the people in the capital see the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion's 'enormous wealth'!"

Pei Qingyan actually offended her today and beat up her people.

The price of that slap...

Not enough!

She is not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness. She only knows how to protect those who are good to her, and repay those who hurt her double...

Chen Tai paused slightly when he heard Song Wan's words.

Since he came here today, he naturally knew about the matter between Miss Jiang and the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

Although he didn't know the reason why Miss Jiang divorced General Pei, since he chose to follow her, he would not back down.

Chen Tai thought about it and bowed again.

"Please wait and see, Miss Jiang!"

Then, he said goodbye and left.

There were just some words that Chen Tai didn't say.

The previous emperor was incompetent and his rule was unclear. This seemingly prosperous Shangjing was actually a place where filth and corruption were rampant.

Given his abilities, many people have approached him in recent years, wanting him to help with some shady matters, but he always refused.

He wants money, but he also has his own bottom line.

Otherwise, even if they redeem Shuangshuang, they will feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

But strangely, this woman, who I've only met twice, has an inexplicable ability to make people trust her...

After Chen Tai left, Song Wan remembered something and called Hong Shang, but Hong Shang didn't respond.

Song Wan couldn't help but glance at her sideways, and saw that she was staring at Chen Tai's departing back in a daze.

"Hongshang?" Song Wan called again.

Hong Chang finally came to her senses and quickly realized her own gaffe.

"What did you say, young lady? I was distracted for a moment."

Song Wan looked at this most reserved girl thoughtfully.

Suddenly she remembered that she had been sold to a brothel before, and when Liu redeemed her, it was already half a year after she entered the brothel...

She must be thinking about the past...

Song Wan thought about it but didn't point it out to her.

Some knots in your heart can only be untied slowly and cannot be rushed.

"Nothing, please get some hot water ready. I want to take a bath."

Hong Chang nodded.

"Yes! Miss!"

Hong Chang slowly retreated, but the words "A woman's chastity is never hidden under her skirt" kept echoing in her mind for no reason.

She, who was always dignified and steady, couldn't help but show a trace of tears in her eyes.
