Reborn, meet you again!
Chapter 77 Unkindness
After Song Wan returned to the Jiang family from the Prince Regent's Palace that day, he took Hong Chang to various calligraphy and painting studios in Shangjing for two consecutive days. The Jiang family also spread the news that they wanted to buy the Solitary Goose Painting for a large sum of money.
Luoluo received the young lady's order to find a special kind of rice paper that Mr. Qi Bai used when he painted the picture of a lone goose.
Although it is a copy, enough effort needs to be put into the details to make it more lifelike.
After breakfast on the third day, Jiang Zheng thought about his daughter going out early and coming back late, and couldn't help but comfort her.
"Qiao Qiao, I've already sent a message to some old friends, asking them to help find the painting. If there's any news, it will probably come back in two or three days. Don't worry too much."
Song Wan nodded and put down the chopsticks in her hand.
"Don't worry, father. Your daughter knows."
"Today is the day to go to the Prime Minister's residence to give Old Madam Song acupuncture. I will go to the Prime Minister's residence with Hong Shang first."
This time, Jiang Zheng didn't say he wanted to go with her, but just reminded her to be careful.
Song Wan then turned around and went out, getting on the carriage to the Prime Minister's residence.
She did not tell Jiang Zheng that the painting had been burned. After all, the painting was destroyed in the palace and the news had not been leaked outside. She still had to make an effort to look for it for the sake of face.
Moreover, if there is still a chance of turning this matter around, she doesn't want to disappoint Jiang Zheng and Liu too early.
After giving acupuncture to my grandmother at the Prime Minister's residence.
Aunt Wen ordered the servants to wash Song Wan's hands and asked her to stay for a cup of tea before leaving.
"Last time, when Miss Jiang was taken away by the Regent, the Prime Minister and I were worried for a long time."
"Fortunately, the Prime Minister later sent someone to inquire and learned that Miss Jiang returned home safely not long after. We were finally relieved."
Aunt Wen asked with some concern.
"I wonder if the Regent gave you any trouble that day?"
Song Wan smiled and took a sip of tea.
"Don't worry, Madam. The Regent only wants me to treat some of his old injuries."
"Besides, he suddenly had something to do that day, so I was sent back home without even entering the Regent's Palace. I wasn't bothered at all."
Only then did Aunt Wen nod in relief.
"That's good. I heard that the Prince Regent has a bad temper. If you are wronged because of coming to the Song Mansion for treatment, we will feel bad."
Song Wan's mind turned when he heard this, and he spoke tentatively.
"Thank you Madam for your concern!"
"However... judging from what happened that day, the Prince Regent seemed somewhat hostile towards the Prime Minister's residence. Could it be that... the Prime Minister is acquainted with him?"
Aunt Wen was a little confused.
"Why do you ask this, Miss Jiang?"
Song Wan showed a bit of embarrassment on her face.
"Madam, please don't blame me! It's true that I'm from a humble background..."
"I'm worried that if there's really any conflict between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Regent, then next time the Regent calls me to see a patient, I'll have to be more careful, lest I say something I shouldn't and offend the Regent."
"After all, as Madam said, the Regent looks... not someone you'd be easy to mess with."
Aunt Wen looked at Jiang Wanqiao, who was a little embarrassed, and understood.
That's right, not to mention that she was a little girl who had never seen any big scenes, even when she saw the man's hideous face and cold eyes that day, she was a little scared.
"So that's how it is. Don't worry, Miss Jiang. The Prince Regent has just arrived in the capital and has had no connection with the Prime Minister's residence since his arrival. What happened that day... maybe he believed the rumors outside and misunderstood the Prime Minister."
"If he asks, Miss Jiang can also evade the question by saying that she came to the Prime Minister's residence for treatment because of the Prime Minister's official position and she couldn't refuse!"
"I believe he won't make it too difficult for a woman like you!"
Song Wan looked at Aunt Wen's expression and thought that she didn't know the inside story, so she stopped asking.
Just drink up the tea in the cup.
"I understand. Thank you for your advice, Madam. I will take my leave today."
Aunt Wen nodded and asked the maid to bring a box.
"Last time, Miss Jiang left in a hurry, and we didn't have time to pay the medical fee. This is a small gift from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Please accept it, Miss Jiang!"
Song Wan glanced at the box on the table, which looked extremely valuable just by its appearance, but did not refuse.
She has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion now, so it would seem strange if she didn't accept it.
"Thank you, ma'am! I'd be remiss if you didn't give me that!"
After leaving Old Madam Song's yard, Song Wan was led towards the main gate by the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But before she went out, she saw Uncle Fu standing in the corridor that had to be passed through to leave the house.
Seeing Song Wan coming over, he waved away the girl who was leading the way and said with a smile.
"Miss Jiang, we meet again!"
Song Wan smiled.
"Yes, butler, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Uncle Fu nodded.
"Yes, I heard that Miss Jiang has been looking for a painting of a lone goose these past two days, so the Prime Minister specifically asked me to wait here!"
When Song Wan heard the words "Picture of a Solitary Goose", he immediately understood something, but he pretended not to know and spoke with a bit of joy.
"Oh? But the Prime Minister knows the whereabouts of the painting?"
"That's right, but the Prime Minister asked me to tell Miss Jiang that although he doesn't know why she is looking for the painting, the painting has been destroyed and you don't need to waste your energy looking for it."
When Song Wan heard this, there was a hint of just the right amount of disappointment in her eyes.
"I see……"
"I understand. Thank you, Lord Prime Minister, for telling me!"
Then, he said goodbye and left the house.
On the way back to Jiang Mansion, Song Wan's eyes were curved.
Although she had only met her father once, her father seemed to have a good impression of her.
Although this may have been due to her treatment of her grandmother's eyes.
But if the father dislikes someone, he will not take these trivial matters of irrelevant people to heart.
However, Song Wan's joy only lasted until the moment she got off the carriage.
As soon as she got off the carriage, Ping An appeared out of nowhere and blocked her way.
Then, Pei Qingyan appeared in front of her.
Today Pei Qingyan specially wore his brand new official uniform. He put one hand behind his back and looked at Song Wan with a somewhat high-spirited look.
"Jiang, I have something to discuss with you."
Song Wan frowned, took a step back, and kept some distance from him.
"It seems that Master Pei didn't hear clearly what I said last time."
Pei Qingyan saw that Jiang Wanqiao looked at him with eyes that were as emotionless as last time, and he felt a sense of frustration that came from nowhere.
Obviously... she once loved him so wholeheartedly that she was even willing to commit suicide for him.
Yet he became so determined in such a short time.
really……
She is a cold and heartless woman!
