"Ah! Really?" Miss Cheng stood up in pleasant surprise. She didn't even mind that the other party was playing with her hair.
"Of course it's true." Song Qingshu pressed down on her shoulders and made her sit back down. He casually combed her hair and said, "However, Madam shouldn't be happy too early. We are going to the Clear Jade Temple to scout for information. We won't immediately save Young Master Lu and the others."
"Yes, I understand." Miss Cheng was a well-educated and reasonable person. In addition, Song Qingshu had explained the reason to her last night, so she didn't have too much of a reaction.
"I won't disturb you anymore. After you finish washing up, let's set off." Song Qingshu went out and called the soldiers to give them some instructions. Not long after, Miss Cheng also came out.
"Madam is really beautiful today." Looking at the gentle and elegant Jiangnan woman in front of him, Song Qingshu couldn't help but praise her.
Miss Cheng blushed and didn't reply. Instead, she changed the topic and said, "Where are we going now? The Clear Jade Temple?"
"We are going to eat breakfast now." Song Qingshu said with a mysterious expression.
An hour later, Miss Cheng and Song Qingshu were sitting by the window of a restaurant on the second floor near the Clear Jade Temple. They were able to observe the situation in the Clear Jade Temple.
"This time, you went to Yangzhou in secret. In addition, so many things happened later. I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity to eat a good meal. The breakfast in Yangzhou is good. Madam should try it." Song Qingshu put a snack in her bowl.
"How can I be in the mood to enjoy right now? Moreover …" Miss Cheng looked at the table full of dishes and thought that this was too exaggerated. It was just breakfast.
"It is useless for Madam to worry too much right now. The only thing you can do is eat well and sleep well. Conserve your energy. When the time is right, you will have the energy to save Young Master Lu and the others. Madam also doesn't want to faint from hunger before seeing your husband, right? "Song Qingshu said.
"It's not that exaggerated." Cheng Yaojia couldn't help but smile. But to a certain extent, the other party's words had enlightened her. Thinking that she was conserving her strength to save her husband, her appetite gradually improved.
The two of them ate and chatted. However, Miss Cheng's eyes would occasionally glance in the direction of the Pure Jade Monastery. Song Qingshu knew what she was thinking, but he didn't expose her. At the same time, he was also carefully observing the situation in the Crystal Monastery.
Unexpectedly, the Clear Jade Monastery did not show any abnormalities. There were even many commoners going in and out, as if nothing had happened last night.
"Wang Baobao is truly a genius." Song Qingshu was secretly impressed. To be able to control the Pure Jade Monastery in such a short period of time and even create a peaceful atmosphere, if it was him, he might not have done as well as Song Qingshu.
"Looks like the Mongolians are planning to occupy this place and live here." Song Qingshu secretly thought that after he took Cheng Yaojia back last night, he was afraid that the Mongolians would kidnap the Southern Song people and hide them in some unknown place. Thereupon he ordered his Imperial Bodyguards to quietly follow them.
When he found out that the Mongolians did not come out of the Pure Jade Monastery, he still had some doubts in his heart, so he came here early in the morning to check. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what the spy had reported.
Song Qingshu's sharp eyes even saw a few old acquaintances of the Ruyang Mansion coming in and out. He couldn't help but think, "Wang Baobao is doing this to let Li Kexiu come and negotiate with me …"
The morning gradually passed. Song Qingshu also roughly understood the patrolling pattern of the experts of the Ruyang Mansion. Just as he was thinking about whether he should leave first, a cursing voice suddenly came from the stairway, "That jinx has been chasing and chasing. I don't know why he is so desperate."
"The Wang woman is his aunt. Since he has this opportunity, of course he will try to please her." A delicate and clear voice echoed, but the tone was cold without the slightest warmth.
Song Qingshu was startled. This voice sounded like …
Immediately after, a strange pair appeared at the stairway. One was a short and ugly hunchback, while the other was a slender young girl with black hair that fell over her shoulders.
The young girl's chin was pointed, and her face was pale and smooth without the slightest blemish. She had a small cherry mouth, very thin lips, and two rows of fine teeth that looked like broken jade. Although there was no lack of beautiful women in Jiangnan, it was rare to see someone as beautiful as her, not to mention that she was accompanied by an ugly hunchback.
"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will dig out your eyeballs!" Noticing everyone's gazes, the young girl frowned. Before she could speak, the ugly hunchback beside her took the initiative to attack.
Seeing that he was so fierce, the guests on the second floor withdrew their gazes. They did not dare to look at the two like before.
The hunchback's eyes were sharp. He stopped and swept his gaze over the second floor. When he saw the faint guards standing behind Song Qingshu and Miss Cheng, he stopped for a moment. As if he knew that the people at this table were not to be trifled with, he led the young girl in another direction.
After sitting down, the hunchback slammed the table and yelled in a rather arrogant manner, "Waiter, bring all the delicious food and drinks here for me!"
The beautiful young girl next to him frowned. It was obvious that she could not bear to see his behavior, but for some reason, she refrained from speaking.
Miss Cheng saw that ever since the two of them went upstairs, Song Qingshu had been staring at the young girl. She did not know why, but she felt a little sour in her heart. She could not help but say, "That girl is really beautiful."
"She has always been very beautiful," Song Qingshu replied subconsciously.
Miss Cheng was startled. "Do you know her?"
Song Qingshu did not answer her. In his mind, the young girl's tender and affectionate gaze appeared several months ago as she lay in his arms. He suddenly felt a little guilty. Originally, he had agreed to look for her after rescuing the Wudang people. Who knew that the Jin Kingdom would delay him for so long?
This beautiful young girl was naturally Mu Wanqing. After the two of them parted last time, she had followed her mother's orders to go to Gusu Mantuo Villa to cause trouble for Madame Wang. He did not know why she had appeared here, and the person next to her …
Song Qingshu looked at the hunchback with an unfriendly expression. He saw that he was ugly and his clothes were not like those of the Central Plains. He also had a hunchback sword on his waist.
"Could it be him?" Song Qingshu began to count the famous hunchbacks in the Golden Book. Suddenly, he thought of one person. It was Mu Gaofeng, the Northern Ming Hunchback from The Smiling, Proud Jianghu. His various characteristics were incomparably compatible.
"Could it be that Wanqing has been controlled by him?" Song Qingshu frowned, but he quickly dispelled this idea. After all, looking at their current situation, Mu Wanqing did not look like she had been held captive.
In addition, it was not convenient for his identity to be exposed at this time. Since Mu Wanqing was not in any danger at this time, Song Qingshu planned to wait and see. He would wait until they reached a secluded place before rescuing Mu Wanqing.
Because Mu Gaofeng had been too fierce, the waiter did not dare to be negligent. He quickly served the wine and dishes. Looking at the table full of dishes, Mu Gaofeng's eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and began to eat.
Mu Wanqing's table manners were much more elegant than his, but it was still obvious that she was also very hungry.
"How could you let her suffer such grievances!" Seeing the situation between the two of them, Song Qingshu suddenly became furious and stood up.
