Reborn, meet you again!

Not long after, Suifeng, who had arranged for someone to continue following Jiang Wanqiao and then turned back, appeared in front of Jun Jiuchen.

Seeing his master sitting in the hall as if he had lost his soul, Suifeng was also shocked.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

There was a dark color in Jun Jiuchen's eyes.

"This painting...where did Jiang Wanqiao get it from?"

Hearing his master's slightly hoarse voice, Suifeng knew that something might be wrong and quickly responded.

"Your Highness, this painting was painted by Miss Jiang herself last night. It was not obtained from anywhere else."

"I was just about to come over to report after His Majesty left court, but Miss Jiang came here first..."

When Jun Jiuchen heard the words written by himself, his eyes were shocked.

"Look carefully, is this really the painting she drew?"

Suifeng stood up again and took a closer look at the painting.

Very solemnly said.

"Sure!"

Although he didn't understand painting, he naturally remembered what he had just seen yesterday. However, what was wrong with the painting drawn by Miss Jiang?

At this moment, Jun Jiuchen's heart was already in turmoil.

Drawn by yourself?

Without Song Wan...this painting...was painted by Jiang Wanqiao himself?

How can this be?

Restraining the surging emotions in his heart, Jun Jiuchen quickly recalled everything about Jiang Wanqiao in his mind.

When she saw Song Yi and Yun Zheng confronting each other in the Prime Minister's Residence, the sadness in her eyes...

She has the same superb medical skills as Song Wan...

The poem she said in the carriage...

She deliberately approached the Prime Minister's residence, and proposed to him that suggestion of re-employing Song Yi...

Finally, the scene freezes as she is restrained by him using the same tactics as Song Wan. As she becomes exasperated, a similar expression appears on that unfamiliar face...

A somewhat crazy idea suddenly emerged in Jun Jiuchen's mind.

If there were no Song Wan, how could there be so many coincidences in this world...

This painting was painted by Jiang Wanqiao himself.

Then will Jiang Wanqiao...

It’s Song Wan!

Thinking of this, Jun Jiuchen stood up suddenly.

Yes, how could he forget.

Song Wan learned a lot of strange skills from the old man named Lu Lao. Could one of them be the art of disguise?

but……

He had come into close contact with Jiang Wanqiao twice, and even pinched her neck with his own hands. Is there really any disguise technique in this world that can be so superb that even he can't see the clues?

Jun Jiuchen thought about it and turned to look at Suifeng.

"In two hours, you will go to the Jiang family in person and tell Jiang Wanqiao that I have agreed to her conditions."

"Ask her to come over tomorrow to discuss the details and to treat my old illness at the same time."

No matter what, he had to confirm it with his own eyes.

Suifeng looked at the faint traces of blood oozing from Jun Jiuchen's palm, lowered his head, and concealed the shock in his heart.

"Yes! Master!"

……

At this time in Pei Mansion, Pei Qingyan had already returned home from court.

As usual, he went to Shen Jiahe's room first, and saw Pei Yujiao there, happily playing with a hairpin while talking to Shen Jiahe.

Seeing that Pei Qingyan looked unhappy, Pei Yujiao hurriedly stood up and asked.

"Brother, what's wrong with you today? Why do you look so dejected?"

Pei Qingyan sat down at the table, meeting the concerned looks of his wife and sister.

"Nothing, it's just that the affairs of the court are so complicated that I can't adapt to them for the time being. I'm a little tired."

In fact, Pei Qingyan was a little disappointed.

Because during the past two days of attending court, he suddenly discovered that His Majesty and the Regent did not treat him differently because of the Queen Mother. Instead, they seemed to have completely ignored his existence.

He was eager to show himself, so he made full preparations and put forward some insights on the internal regulations of the Ministry of War during the morning court today, trying to get the attention of His Majesty and the Regent.

It also let the court officials know that he, the newly appointed Minister of War, did not rely entirely on the Empress Dowager's blessing, but had some real abilities.

But the Regent just said that these trivial matters should not be brought up in the court, as it would waste everyone's time.

Moreover, the daily internal management of the Ministry of War can be discussed with colleagues in the Ministry of War, and the Minister of Justice can submit a memorial to report on it. There is no need to make a fuss about it.

It made him feel embarrassed for no reason.

Moreover, after being told this by the Regent, he looked at Minister Xing with a rather unhappy expression.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have made a mistake.

Logically speaking, what he said today should have been discussed with the superiors in advance, rather than being presented directly to the court without going through him.

Moreover, his views on the internal system of the Ministry of War, from another perspective, actually mean that the Minister of Justice... has no measure in governing his own people and no direction in governing his subordinates!

He was too eager to show off, and was used to the way he behaved in his father's tent when he was in Mobei, so he neglected this point...

Shen Jiahe looked at Pei Qingyan's expression, glanced at Pei Yujiao beside him, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Thank you for your hard work, my husband. You have just taken up your post and it is understandable that you may not be able to do your best."

"By the way, how's the matter of going to the Jiang family that I discussed with my husband two days ago going? If this goes well, my husband will be able to make a difference in the court."

"I think as long as the foundation is laid, everything will gradually become easier."

When Pei Qingyan heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

He shook his head, a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"Don't think about it anymore. The Jiang family thought they could be arrogant just because they had a few silver coins. Not to mention discussing business, they directly blocked the door with the guards and refused to let me in."

"Jiang Wanqiao is even more arrogant, and her words are full of disdain for our Marquisate."

"I don't even want to associate with such an ignorant person!"

Pei Yujiao listened to the conversation between the two and was a little confused.

"Brother, what are you talking about? What Jiang family, Jiang Wanqiao?"

Pei Qingyan knew his sister's temperament and didn't want to tell her.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jiahe sighed and told Pei Yujiao the whole story.

When Pei Yujiao heard this, she slammed the hairpin in her hand onto the table.

"How ridiculous! Brother was so kind to praise the Jiang family, but they actually dared to chase him away. They simply don't know the difference between superiors and inferiors!"

She already held a grudge against her father for scolding her because of Jiang Wanqiao last time.

Later, because Jiang Wanqiao took away the dowry, the Marquis's Mansion lost face on the wedding day, and she dared not go out.

Life at home was even more difficult because she schemed against her mother and emptied the public treasury's money.

Take the new hairpin she got today, for example. It was given to her by the daughter of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. It is not expensive. If it were in the past, she would have simply disdained it... But now it can make her happy for a while.

Jiang Wanqiao had embarrassed her many times during the three years she had been in the Pei family. Now that he was gone, he wanted to make life in the Marquis' Mansion uneasy.

What a bitch!

Seeing this, Shen Jiahe hurriedly tried to comfort him.

"Okay, Second Sister, don't be angry. This is indeed not a small expense. It's inevitable that the Jiang family has some concerns."

"It's such a pity. My husband could have made a great political achievement with this..."

Pei Yujiao snorted coldly.

"Sister-in-law is too kind-hearted."

"In my opinion, since the Jiang family won't take soft words, we should teach them a lesson and force them to agree!"

Pei Qingyan was also moved when he heard this.

Today he had violated the taboo of Minister of Justice in the court, and he really needed to do something to gain a foothold in the Ministry of War.

But Jiang Wanqiao's attitude was so arrogant, and his father repeatedly told him not to cause trouble for her.

He felt... perhaps there was some hidden secret that his father hadn't told him about why he agreed to her divorce.

The situation might be more serious than he thought, so if he really wanted to deal with the Jiang family, he had to get the truth from his father...

Pei Qingyan thought about it and stood up to look at Pei Yujiao.

"Yujiao, don't get involved in this matter."

"If you really want to do something, you have to wait until I discuss it with my father before making a decision. Don't act rashly and ruin things, understand?"

Pei Yujiao felt a little dissatisfied.

He just muttered "I know" softly.
