After being reborn with my scumbag ex-husband, I became his sister-in-law.

As the group was chatting, a carriage suddenly stopped outside the Marquis's residence.

Immediately afterwards, Song Xizhi, supported by the old woman, got off the carriage.

Upon seeing that the person outside was Song Xizhi, both Song Ruoan and Lin Miaoxin's expressions darkened instantly.

Seeing this, the ladies said meaningfully, "Young Master He, you should ask Old Madam He to properly discipline her granddaughter-in-law. This is really outrageous!"

Madam Sun also snorted coldly: "She has no medical skills, yet she went out to treat patients, almost killing Madam Xin, and even made a scene at Baifanglou. It's truly astonishing."

Seeing that Song Xizhi was about to reach the door, the ladies raised their chins, rolled their eyes, and left.

"We'll be going now. Ruo'an feels great after taking the medicine today. I'll be waiting for your next treatment!"

Sensing the sudden change in the ladies' attitudes, He Yunze was somewhat puzzled, but he knew that Song Xizhi had once again been swindling and cheating outside, doing bad things.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as in my previous life.

It's absolutely disgusting.

After Song Xizhi crossed the threshold, Song Ruoan raised her chin slightly and stood in front of her arrogantly: "Sister, since you treated Madam Xin, what about the money you received?"

He Yunze's face was so dark it could drip water: "You have no medical skills at all, how are you going to treat patients?"

"If you want to die, don't drag the Marquis's mansion down with you. Otherwise, Ruo'an will have to clean up your mess."

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi slowly stopped and met He Yunze's gaze.

Her gaze held a hint of amusement: "You know I have no medical skills, but what medical skills does Song Ruoan possess?"

He Yunze looked at her coldly: "Stupid and wicked, you're a pathetic wretch."

He pretended in his past life, and he will pretend in this life as well, using the same methods and approaches. However, in his past life, he had hesitated and doubted whether Song Xizhi's words were true, but in this life, he will not waver at all.

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi suddenly laughed: "Poor thing... What an interesting description. I'll pass this on to you."

Upon hearing this, He Yunze's eyes practically overflowed with disgust for Song Xizhi: "Now that your brother is dying and can no longer protect you, if you go out and do whatever you want, you will surely suffer the consequences in the end."

In his previous life, Song Xizhi married him. At first, she fawned over him so humbly that he believed her. As a result, Song Xizhi also benefited from the honor that belonged to him.

At that time, no matter how outrageous she acted, everyone would forgive her out of respect for him.

In this life, her brother is useless and will die young. If she marries him, everything will return to square one, and her life will only get worse.

"Stop pretending to be Song Xizhi. This is my final warning to you. Medical skills that don't belong to you will never be yours no matter how much you pretend."

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi slowly shifted his gaze from He Yunce to Song Ruoan.

She looked at Song Ruoan meaningfully for a long time before speaking calmly, "Alright, we'll see."

"I have to go back to take care of my husband. Goodbye."

Looking at Song Xizhi's departing figure, it was as if he was fleeing in panic.

Song Ruoan sweetly hugged He Yunce's arm, her mind filled with the humiliation He Yunce had just inflicted on Song Xizhi, and she was overjoyed.

"Husband, please don't be angry. Although my sister has made a fool of herself outside, she still takes good care of my brother at home."

He Yunze also stared intently at Song Xizhi's back, his mind filled with Song Xizhi's repulsive face.

"What do you mean she likes her brother? She's completely faking it; she's an extremely hypocritical woman."

In her past life, despite being healthy and having a successful career, she was still promiscuous and went out to find other men.

In this life, she married her eldest brother, who was a living dead man and an extremely useless man. How could Song Xizhi possibly fall in love with her eldest brother?

She simply couldn't stand being alone.

She must be filled with regret these days, seeing her own meteoric rise and the Prime Minister's favor, and is already planning how to attract his attention.

He Yunze quickly banished Song Xizhi's bright face from his mind, then tightly embraced Song Ruoan's waist.

"Let's ignore her self-destructive path and go back to Guanyun Pavilion. I want to properly thank the clever and capable Ruo'an today!"

As He Yunze spoke, he reached out and hooked Song Ruoan's nose again, his eyes filled with impatience.

……

Song Xizhi fiddled with the jade pendant in his hand all the way back to the courtyard.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Qing Tong rushing to find her.

"Madam, you're finally back. Your subordinate has been waiting for you for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi suddenly felt a little guilty and hurriedly clutched the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes wary: "What do you want from me?"

Qing Tong shook his head: "The Su family sent a message today, asking you to go to the Su family tomorrow."

"My maternal grandfather is looking for me?" Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi suddenly stood up from the soft couch, his heart leaping into his throat.

My maternal grandfather never sent a message to the Marquis of Anding's residence on his own initiative, unless... something happened to my uncle.

"No, no," Qing Tong hurriedly shook his head when he saw her worried eyes. "Don't worry, I heard it's good news. The messenger even waited a while to see you, but you weren't here."

"A happy occasion?" Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi slowly sat back down. She was happy, but also a little curious: "What happy occasion could it be?"

"But judging by the days, it's about time I went to check on my uncle's health."

After delivering the news, Qing Tong didn't leave. Instead, he stared at the jade pendant in Song Xizhi's hand and hesitated for a moment before asking, "How did you feel about your visit to Baifanglou today?"

Song Xizhi smiled slyly: "The scenery is beautiful, but the people are even more fun."

“I used my husband’s jade pendant to bully him.”

Bronze nodded absentmindedly: "As long as Madam is happy, then do you intend to... return the master's jade pendant now?"

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi's smile froze on her face for a moment. She felt that Qing Tong's attitude was problematic:

She carefully observed Qing Tong's expression: "Qing Tong, I'd like to ask, where did this jade pendant come from? How could it have such a great function?"

"My husband went to the frontier when he was young and has been fighting on the battlefield ever since. He doesn't even have time to spend money. So how did he get to know the owner behind Baifanglou?"

Bronze felt the scrutiny in Song Xizhi's eyes, and his expression twitched slightly:

"Merchants travel all over the country, and it's likely that the boss behind them met their master on the frontier, was rescued by him, and that's how they obtained this jade pendant..."

Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, I see. That's quite a coincidence. But then again..."

“We’re husband and wife, he’s completely mine. It’s just a jade pendant, what’s there to return?”

Qing Tong tightly closed his eyes, cold sweat rolling down his forehead: "Madam, I dare not make the decision to give you the jade pendant without my permission."

Originally, it was thought that the lady would only show the jade pendant to the servant, but unexpectedly, the matter escalated and the manager of Baifanglou saw the jade pendant.

This has aroused the lady's suspicion, and now she doesn't even intend to return the jade pendant.

If the master finds out, he will definitely hold him accountable!

Song Xizhi raised an eyebrow. "You dared to let me take all of He Jingyan's private savings before, but now you don't even dare to give me a jade pendant?"

Qing Tong raised his hands in surrender, betraying He Jingyan without hesitation: "Go ask your master. If he agrees to give it to you, I will have no objection."

Song Xizhi smiled, gripped the jade pendant in his hand, and got off the soft couch: "Alright, after I bathe and change my clothes, I will torture him to extract a confession."

As if granted a pardon, Qing Tong ran out like the wind, leaving He Jingyan alone on the bed.
