Reborn, meet you again!

Chapter 277 Price

Dusk is falling.

A figure quietly walked out of the back door of the prime minister's residence, with the brim of her hat pulled down so low that it almost covered her entire face. She walked hurriedly, looking back several times. After confirming that no one was following her, she quickly walked towards an inconspicuous blue cloth carriage parked at the entrance of the alley.

Inside the carriage, Aunt Wen tightly grasped the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Ever since the eldest daughter returned home after the accident, her heart has been in turmoil and she has been unable to find peace.

Fortunately, early this morning, her son-in-law secretly sent a letter to her personal maid, saying that Yan'er wanted to see her. She was overjoyed.

Since the son-in-law was willing to take the initiative to have someone bring her into the house, then the story of Yan'er poisoning her must be a rumor.

But she also knew that if the Prime Minister knew, he would definitely not let her see Yan'er, so she had to take advantage of the night, have someone lead Song Jiu away, and sneak out through the back door.

The carriage arrived smoothly at Prince Huai's Palace.

"Auntie, we're here." The driver's low voice interrupted Auntie Wen's thoughts.

Aunt Wen lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and found that the carriage was not parked at the main gate of Prince Huai's Mansion, but at a remote side gate. The blue brick and gray tile wall here looked a little dilapidated, and there were a few clumps of weeds growing in the corner of the wall.

A trace of doubt flashed through her mind, but when she thought about seeing her daughter, she straightened her clothes and walked quickly into the mansion with the help of her maid.

The maid leading the way walked with almost silent steps, taking her through the intricate corridors. In the twilight, the lanterns under the corridors had not yet been lit, and the surrounding scenery was covered with a layer of gray shadows.

Aunt Wen suddenly felt a little nervous.

Because... this doesn't seem like the way to the main courtyard.

Fortunately, just when she was about to ask, Yun Zheng appeared in front of him.

When Aunt Wen saw Yun Zheng, she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to pay her respects.

"Uncle."

Yun Zheng just looked at her solemnly and spoke.

"Come with me."

Then, the maid who brought Aunt Wen in quickly stepped forward and opened the door of the woodshed where Song Yan was imprisoned.

At this time, Song Yan had not washed or combed her hair for two days and one night. Her hair was disheveled and she looked a little disheveled.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Song Yan couldn't help but look up. When she saw Aunt Wen being pushed in, Song Yan's originally indifferent pupils couldn't help but dilate slightly.

"Auntie?"

Aunt Wen, who was wondering why, was shocked when she saw her daughter in front of her.

Song Yan has been well-behaved since she was a child. How could she have ever seen her daughter like this?

After Aunt Wen reacted, she became anxious and staggered towards Song Yan, holding her daughter's hand. Then she felt her daughter's palm was extremely cold. She looked at her daughter's thin clothes and her eyes suddenly turned red. She hurriedly took off her cloak and wrapped her in it.

"Yan'er, what's going on?"

Song Yan felt the warmth from my palm, and then she confirmed that the aunt in front of her was not her hallucination.

She hadn't seen her aunt for a long time. If it were the past, she would definitely be happy.

But the realization that her aunt appeared before her shocked her.

Thinking of what Yun Zheng said to her before he left that day, that he would never let her get what she wanted, Song Yan did not have time to respond to her aunt's question. She just looked at Yun Zheng with some disbelief in her eyes.

There was a barely perceptible hint of panic in his voice.

"Is this... the solution that the prince came up with?"

How could she not know what it meant for her aunt to appear here at this time...

he……

This is to use her biological mother to force her!

At this moment, Yun Zheng just looked at Song Yan with cold eyes.

"I told you I wouldn't let you have your way."

"You forced me to do this, didn't you?"

Aunt Wen listened to the conversation between the two, but was confused and felt indignant for her daughter.

"Yan'er, uncle, what are you talking about?"

"And, Master, Yan'er is your concubine after all, how could you treat her like this!"

This woodshed is where servants are kept.

Yun Zheng heard this, but still did not look at Aunt Wen. He just continued to look at Song Yan with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"How could you treat her like this?"

"Instead of asking me, Aunt Wen, why not ask your good daughter what she has done?"

When Aunt Wen heard Yun Zheng's words, she suddenly remembered something. Her heart sank and she looked at Song Yan again with some doubts.

"Yan'er...what does uncle mean?"

Could it be that... the poisoning of the eldest lady is really related to Yan'er?

Apart from this incident, she really couldn't think of any other reason why her son-in-law, who was always humble and polite, would treat her daughter like this.

At this moment, Song Yan didn't dare to look directly into her aunt's eyes.

If she still cares about anything now.

Then Aunt Wen must be the first one.

Because she... is the person in this world who gives her all her love without reservation.

She hoped that in her heart, she would always be that well-behaved and sensible daughter...

She didn't want her to know a single thing about those dirty things.

Thinking of this, Song Yan spoke to Aunt Wen nervously.

"Auntie, don't ask anything. Leave now... and don't come to Prince Huai's Mansion again!"

"My daughter can handle her own affairs...you should leave now..."

As Song Yan spoke, she pulled Aunt Wen to her feet and tried to push her out the door.

But Yun Zheng stood blocking the door without moving, showing no intention of moving away.

"Walk?"

"Do you think she will be able to leave if you don't tell the truth today?"

When Song Yan heard this, her heart tightened and her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

"What do you mean, my lord? My father is still alive! Do you still dare to detain my aunt in the mansion?"

"My father and brother will definitely come looking for me!"

Yun Zheng just sneered.

"Do you think... I would openly invite her to Prince Huai's Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yan couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at Aunt Wen beside her in disbelief.

"Auntie, you..."

Aunt Wen hurriedly explained.

"Yan'er, you know that your father hasn't forgiven you yet. If he knew I was coming to Prince Huai's Mansion, he would definitely not agree. That's why no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion knew about my coming here today."

"I... didn't even tell your brother."

Hearing what her aunt said, Song Yan couldn't help but stagger back a step.

how come……

how so……

Seeing Song Yan like this, Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and continued speaking.

"Song Yan, it's not too late for you to speak now!"

Song Yan's heart was in chaos at this moment.

Although she didn't want her aunt to know those things, she also knew that if she told Yun Zheng the secret.

She has only one way to go...

The woodshed fell into dead silence, with only the occasional crackling of the oil lamp.

But seeing that she was reluctant to speak, Yun Zheng's voice rang out again.

"It seems that you don't want to talk about it anymore."

"In that case, let me speak for you first."

Yun Zheng said this before turning his gaze to Aunt Wen.

"Didn't Aunt Wen want to know if she was the one who poisoned Wan'er?"

"Now, I will tell you clearly, yes!"

"Besides... you, as a good daughter, have done more than just this one good thing..."

"Maybe Aunt Wen doesn't know... those hooligans in the City God Temple who nearly caused Wan'er to lose her life were arranged by her personally."

"Even the fact that she lost her virginity to me in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion was her own idea..."

"Shut up! Shut up!" Song Yan's chest heaved violently as she listened to Yun Zheng's words. She could no longer maintain her composure and finally couldn't help but interrupt him. She looked at Aunt Wen with panic in her eyes.

&34;Auntie, don't listen to him! He's lying!&34;

But at this moment, Yun Zheng had no intention of stopping. Instead, a hint of cruel pleasure flashed across his eyes.

"Oh, right? Just a few days ago, she also spread the news that the Jiang family was going to help the Prime Minister's Mansion raise funds for the Mobei Army. If Jun Jiuchen hadn't come out to interfere, Song Yi would probably have gone to guard the imperial mausoleum by now..."

"She betrayed the Prime Minister's Mansion, betrayed Song Yi, and also... betrayed you..."

He had said it a long time ago.

If Song Yan dares to threaten him, he will have to pay some price.
