Reborn, meet you again!

Song Wan slept very soundly and was not awakened until dawn by Hong Shang, who said that the lady wanted to talk to her.

Song Wan just wanted to go and have a good "heart-to-heart talk" with Lord Pei to finalize the divorce.

She stood up and sat in front of the dressing table, letting Luluo do her makeup.

While Luluo was carefully combing Song Wan's hair, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Although the Second Miss is a bit spoiled and never takes the Young Lady seriously, Madam used to think she was quite nice and would occasionally scold the Second Miss for the Young Lady."

"Who knew that when the son-in-law and Miss Shen came back this time, the lady would change completely, completely forgetting how the young lady treated her over the past few years! She's almost moved mountains of gold and silver into her house, and she only praises Miss Shen."

"When the young lady married in, the clothes they wore and the things they put on their heads did not look like the wives or daughters of a marquisate! They were even worse than the illegitimate daughters and concubines of our Jiang family."

“It’s really disheartening!”

When she thought about the rare treasures that were taken out from the young lady's private storehouse, she felt heartbroken.

Song Wan has gradually adapted to this money-obsessed girl based on her memory.

However, there was one thing that Luoluo said that was wrong.

In fact, when Shen Jiahe first entered the mansion a month ago, the people in the mansion did not do anything too obvious.

After all, Shen Jiahe was a person who had married into Mobei.

Even though the King of Mobei is dead and Mobei was defeated, and he agreed to let her go, she is still a second bride after all, and the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion has fallen into decline, leaving her an orphan.

Given the personalities of Lord Pei and Madam Pei, how could they agree to Pei Qingyan making a woman of such status his equal wife after he returned to Beijing in glory?

After all, it was shameful enough in their eyes that the Marquis married her, the daughter of a merchant.

The reason why the Pei family changed their attitude.

This is because the fourth prince who has ascended the throne now has a biological mother named Su Mei.

Now she has been honored as the Empress Dowager, and that Concubine Su is Shen Jiahe's cousin!

Song Wan thought about it, calmed down a little, and spoke.

"It was good in the past, but that was only because there was no other choice, and it was profitable for me."

"Now that you have found someone better, you naturally want to leave me behind."

"But don't worry, since I'm leaving, I will take back everything that belongs to the Jiang family."

"Starting today, you will take inventory of the dowry I brought with me, see which ones have been given away, and make a list."

When Luoluo heard what the young lady said, her hands stopped moving.

How come after a whole night, the lady is still talking about leaving?

Could it be...

"Miss...you said yesterday that you wanted a divorce...were you serious?"

Song Wan knew that Jiang Wanqiao's infatuation with Pei Qingyan had left a very deep impression on the girl, so it was understandable that she didn't believe it for a moment.

There is no rush to prove it.

"Of course! Just do as I say!"

Luoluo looked at the determination in her young lady's eyes, and finally couldn't help but start thinking seriously.

Could it be that the young lady has really let go of her son-in-law?

If this is the case, the Jiang family will soon move to Shangjing, and the master and mistress have always loved the young lady.

Even if the young lady divorces and returns to the Jiang family, they will not treat her badly. The young lady is beautiful and rich, which is much better than suffering in this marquis's mansion.

And if the young lady goes back, she can also go back to the Jiang family with her.

Her father was an old man who followed the master, and she grew up with the young lady, so naturally she had an extraordinary affection for the Jiang family.

Thinking of this, Luoluo's eyes gradually brightened with joy, and she said happily.

"Yes, miss!"

"Don't worry, young lady. I will check everything thoroughly! Not even a needle will be left out!"

……

After Song Wan packed up, she quickly arrived at Madam Pei's room.

"Mother."

After saying hello, Song Wan quickly glanced around the room.

Seeing that there were only Mrs. Pei, Second Miss Pei Yujiao and Shen Jiahe in the room, and Lord Pei was not there, Song Wan felt a little disappointed.

Mrs. Pei looked at the obvious bruise on Song Wan's neck, and a hint of obvious displeasure flashed in her eyes.

"Wan Qiao, mother has to say something to you. You were indeed wrong this time."

"Since ancient times, women have been dependent on their husbands. It is natural for them to marry wives and concubines and have children. Qingyan just returned from military service. If you seek death at this time, aren't you slapping him in the face?"

"I heard that you had Qingyan kicked out yesterday. How shameless!"

Song Wan glanced at Shen Jiahe who was standing behind Mrs. Pei and rubbing her shoulders.

Today he didn't hide the person but brought him directly to her. I wonder what his plan is?

"Mother is right. I really shouldn't commit suicide."

She wanted to see what this family was up to.

Mrs. Pei was pleased to see that Song Wan was so sensible. She said, how could this person change his personality in one day.

What happened yesterday must have been a shock to Jiang Wanqiao, which caused her to behave abnormally for a while.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Pei felt relieved and spoke with some seriousness.

"You're right to think so."

"Mother knows you did this because you had a clear conscience, but it's only natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines. You must not be so foolish in the future!"

"You also know that your status will not help Qingyan in his official career. Now that Jiahe has come into the family, it is also a good thing for you."

"After all, if Qingyan's official career goes smoothly, it's possible that you will be granted the title of Consort of Imperial Noble Consort in the future."

"You are still the legal wife after all!"

Song Wan looked at Madam Pei calmly, without commenting on her words.

"I wonder why my mother called me here today?"

Mrs. Pei felt that for someone of Jiang Wanqiao's background, an imperial edict was already a huge temptation.

Although she was a little dissatisfied that Jiang Wanqiao did not agree with her as usual.

But he still saved her and told her the real reason for calling her here today.

"Of course I want to discuss with you about welcoming Jiahe into the family."

"Your grandmother and I haven't been involved in the affairs of the Marquisate for many years. I'll leave this matter to you!"

"But this marriage was personally arranged by the Queen Mother. We in the Marquisate cannot treat her unfairly. You must make sure this marriage is done with honor."

Song Wan suddenly understood that he was waiting for her here.

Indeed, in the past three years, whenever the Marquis' Mansion had something to do or gave out festival gifts, if there was a shortage, Jiang Wanqiao would secretly use her dowry to make up for it.

In order not to embarrass the Pei family, she never mentioned this matter.

Although the Pei family knew the truth, they all pretended to be ignorant.

He only praised her for her "good housekeeping" and then became more and more extravagant in spending money.

Song Wan thought about it and looked at Madam Pei with a half-smile.

"Then, mother, what do you think this marriage should be, worthy of Miss Shen's status?"

Mrs. Pei did not notice anything unusual about Song Wan. She seemed to have thought about it a long time ago and spoke without any hesitation.

"Time is a bit tight. Prepare a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and a few manors and shops, and that will be enough."

"Mother has made a list of the rest of the items here. Take a look."

"As for those minor details, you can decide for yourself!"

Hearing Mrs. Pei's loud words, Luluo behind Song Wan almost popped her eyes out.

Song Wan just looked at the list in Mrs. Pei's hand and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? So mother has already thought of everything."

"Hongshang, bring it here and let me take a look."

Hong Chang immediately stepped forward, took the list from Mrs. Pei, and handed it to her young lady.

Song Wan looked at the long gift list.

One hundred rolls of various colored silks, twenty pieces of jade from famous artists, two jade ruyi handles, and...

"A huanghuali crabapple-flower bed, a huanghuali beauty couch, and two huanghuali wardrobes?"

Madam Pei: "Yes! Jiahe was originally a spoiled child, but he has suffered a lot during his trip to Mobei. Naturally, he needs the best for food, clothing, and living expenses."

Song Wan: "A golden nanmu piano table and a chess table?"

Madam Pei: "That's right! You weren't born in Kyoto, so you might not know that Jiahe is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was once praised by the late emperor! She is a truly talented woman in the capital."

"From now on, you should learn more from Jiahe."

Mrs. Pei said as she patted Shen Jiahe's hand who was massaging her shoulders.

"In the future, with Jiahe accompanying you to various banquets, you won't have to worry about being looked down upon by others!"

Song Wan just looked at the two people in front of her, the loving mother and the filial daughter, and folded the long gift list in her hand again.

"Mother really values ​​Miss Shen. If you didn't know, you would think she was going to marry a princess!"

"I've forgotten what good things the Marquis' Mansion brought when they went to the Jiang family to propose marriage..."

Upon hearing this, Luluo couldn't wait to respond.

"Miss, I remember!"

As Luoluo spoke, she recited aloud the "junk metal" that had been carried from the Marquis' Mansion to the Jiang Mansion, one by one.

Mrs. Pei felt a little embarrassed when she heard this and quickly interrupted Luoluo.

"Why bring this up now? It's all in the past."

"Today is different from the past!"

Now Qingyan is a fourth-rank General of the Central Army and is about to marry Jiahe.

Jiahe is the Empress Dowager's cousin. Just by looking at the imperial decree granting the marriage, you can tell that the Empress Dowager has taken a fancy to Jiahe.

After the young emperor ascended the throne today, one can imagine the power in the hands of the empress dowager. As orphans and widows, they naturally feel at ease with their own people.

The Su family is just the family of a seventh-rank minor official, and no one in the family has any future. Even if they come to Beijing, they will not be able to help the Empress Dowager and His Majesty.

But their mansion is different, a lean camel is bigger than a horse!

Based on this alone, Qingyan's future will surely be immeasurable!

How could Jiang Wanqiao, a merchant's daughter, compare to Jiahe? If it were during the heyday of the Marquisate, she wouldn't even be qualified to be Qingyan's concubine.

What other decent betrothal gifts do you want?

I just don’t know what it means!
