Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 54 Father and Daughter Finally Meet

It was half an hour later when Song Wan finished the acupuncture.

Uncle Fu, who was guarding outside the door, said something to Aunt Wen, then brought Song Wan to the main hall.

Jiang Zheng saw that his daughter was unharmed and that he could cure Old Madam Song's illness, so he finally felt relieved.

Just as I was about to say goodbye with my daughter, I heard Uncle Fu say.

"The Prime Minister was delighted to hear that the old lady's eye disease could be cured, and he wanted to meet you two in person to express his gratitude. Please wait a moment! I'll go and fetch the Prime Minister right away!"

When Jiang Zheng heard this, he was actually a little reluctant, but since the other party said so, it was difficult to refuse, so he maintained a smile on his face and said.

"You are so polite, my Lord. It is an honor for us father and daughter!"

Uncle Fu smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.

Song Wan sat down again with Jiang Zheng, but her heart had already drifted away to who knows where.

Fortunately, Song Wan didn't have to wait too long, and Song Yi walked out from the inner hall.

Jiang Zheng felt a little nervous when he saw someone coming in, and hurriedly led his daughter to kneel down respectfully.

"I, Jiang Zheng, greet the Prime Minister."

Although she and Qiao Qiao did not encounter any harsh treatment when they entered the Prime Minister's Mansion today, Qiao Qiao also said that she could cure Old Madam Song's eyes, which meant that the Prime Minister's Mansion had something to ask of their daughter.

But he was still somewhat afraid of meeting this rumored "traitorous prime minister" in person.

After Song Wan knelt down with her father, she suppressed her excitement and bowed her head slightly in a polite manner.

"I, Jiang Wanqiao, greet the Prime Minister!"

But after the two of them exchanged greetings, Song Yi did not immediately let anyone get up.

Instead, he looked at the two people kneeling in front of him with a bit of scrutiny, a hint of seriousness in his voice.

"The servants reported back that Miss Jiang can cure the old lady's eye disease?"

When Song Wan heard the familiar voice, she raised her head and looked at her father whom she had been thinking about for a long time.

Just this look.

Song Wan's heart sank involuntarily.

Because she clearly saw that although her father looked a little haggard, at this moment, he was looking at her with a gaze that was completely unfamiliar to her.

There was also an unexpected hint of dominance on his body that he only displayed when dealing with outsiders.

Song Wan felt a little sad.

Yes! She is Jiang Wanqiao now.

How could her father look at her with such loving and doting eyes again?

She collected her thoughts and responded respectfully.

"Replying to Prime Minister, that's right!"

There was still no expression on Song Yi's face.

"Miss Jiang is so young, yet she possesses such superb medical skills. I wonder where she learned them from?"

"He is an old doctor named Liu from Jiangnan. He is not worth your question, Your Majesty." Song Wan replied.

Upon hearing this, Song Yi reached out to pick up the teacup, gently scraped the teacup, and looked sharp.

"How can it be unworthy of asking if he can teach Miss Jiang such a brilliant disciple?"

"It's just... I heard that Miss Jiang came to my residence a few days ago to ask for an audience, and after her request was rejected, she set up a stall in East City..."

"I wonder if Miss Jiang's setting up a stall is a way to find another way out, or... a roundabout way to find a secluded place?"

Jiang Zheng listened to Prime Minister Song's questioning of his daughter, and thought to himself that he had been deceived by the old housekeeper's appearance. Prime Minister Song was indeed not an easy person to deal with!

Moreover, this statement clearly shows that he suspects his daughter has ulterior motives.

But my daughter was clearly invited by the Prime Minister's Mansion today to come for treatment. Now Prime Minister Song is interrogating Qiao Qiao like a criminal, which is too unkind.

Although Jiang Zheng was quite afraid of the government because of his experience in Jiangnan, he could not bear to see his daughter being bullied. He suppressed his tension and fear and prepared to speak up for his daughter.

Song Wan's voice rang out first.

She knelt upright and looked at Song Yi without blinking.

"I suspect the Prime Minister also wants to ask why I have never shown my true colors in the three years since I came to the capital, but suddenly appeared when Madam Song was suffering from an eye disease."

"Did someone else instruct me to approach the Prime Minister's Residence?"

"Since the Prime Minister has doubts in his heart, I will naturally help him to resolve them, but..."

Song Wan paused as she spoke, suppressing the grievance in her heart that was even greater than when her grandmother kept calling her "Miss Jiang", and continued calmly.

"Before I explain this to you, sir, please allow me and my father to stand up."

She was afraid that if she knelt down and accepted her father's questioning again, she would not be able to hold back her tears.

Song Yi looked at the girl in front of him who was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes moved slightly, and after looking at her for a moment, he spoke.

"Get up!"

"Uncle Fu, have someone watch the tea."

Song Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to sit down with Jiang Zheng on the side.

After calming down a little, she took the initiative to speak without waiting for Song Yi to continue asking questions.

"In fact, even if the Prime Minister didn't ask today, I still wanted to see him. Because I didn't come here just to practice medicine and treat patients!"

"As for setting up a stall in East City, it's just as the Prime Minister thought. It's because I was rejected by the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I'm trying to find another way! But these are my own ideas, not instructed by anyone, and..."

Song Wan paused, looked at Song Yi, and said confidently.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is only my first choice, not my only choice!"

Her father was a thoughtful person, and since he saw through her behavior, there was no need for her to hide it.

After hearing what Song Wan said, Song Yi seemed to become interested and motioned for her to continue.

Song Wan continued without hesitation.

"Our Jiang family just moved to the capital last month. Originally, we wanted to live with my husband's family, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Unfortunately, I had some conflicts with my husband's family because of the mansion's policy of marrying a concubine, so I left the mansion."

"For the past half month, my father and mother have been looking for ways to gain a foothold in the capital, but they have been met with setbacks everywhere."

"So when I learned about Madam Song's illness, I had this idea. I thought that if I could cure Madam Song's eye disease, maybe I could do the Prime Minister a favor."

"In this way, the Prime Minister will be able to take care of our Jiang family in the future."

Song Yi put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Song Wan with a smile.

"Miss Jiang, since you've been in the capital for three years, don't you know who I, Song Yi, am?"

Song Wan looked directly into her father's eyes without a trace of retreat.

"know."

"A traitorous prime minister!"

Jiang Zheng, who was standing by, was startled when he heard his daughter was so bold, and quickly stood up to apologize.

"My Lord, I am still young and outspoken. Please forgive me, Lord!"

This is this...

Could it be that my daughter has gone crazy? This Prime Minister Song is clearly not someone who is easy to deal with. How can such words be brought up in public?

Fortunately, Song Yi was silent for only a moment. Seeing that Song Wan was not at all flustered, he waved his sleeves and said it was okay. He motioned Jiang Zheng to sit down, and then continued to look at Song Wan.

"Since you knew this and still dared to seek the skin of a tiger, Miss Jiang is quite courageous!"

"But what you said made sense in the past."

"Miss Jiang, you must be aware of the current reputation and situation of my Prime Minister's Mansion. If your Jiang family wishes to join me, I'm afraid not only will there be no benefit, but they will also be implicated. Therefore, I am very curious why the Prime Minister's Mansion was your first choice."

Song Wan looked at her father with a smile.

"There are three reasons."

"First, I know in my heart which is more important, helping someone in need or adding icing on the cake. The Prime Minister rose from a humble background to his current position, so what does a temporary hardship mean to him? Our Jiang family is in business, making a small investment for a big return. I think this deal is worth doing."

"Secondly, I don't want to wait. The Prime Minister's Mansion is the first opportunity that appeared before me, and I must seize it. As for the situation and reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, from the outside, I just dare not refuse the invitation of the Prime Minister's Mansion and come to treat my illness. No matter what happens to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, it will not implicate me!"

"As for the third... and most important thing, my father and I respect the Prime Minister as a person!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

respect?

If he had not been forced by the power of the Prime Minister's Office, he would have wanted to have a good argument with Prime Minister Song just now.

Where does the admiration come from?

Is my daughter trying to... flatter me?

This is this...

Will it work?
