"The Mu family of Xixia?" Song Qingshu had a strange look on his face. "Which Mu family? Don't tell me it's the Mu family of the Mu brothers, Mu Yuqi and Mu Wangrong?"
Mu Yuqi and Mu Wangrong's original names were Ye Li Yuqi and Ye Li Wangrong. However, these nomadic tribes were deeply influenced by the Han culture. It was popular among the aristocrats to give themselves Han names. The Ye Li family chose the surname Mu. Latest
The reason why Song Qingshu knew about these two brothers was that half of the power in Xixia was in the hands of the emperor, and the other half was in the hands of various tribal leaders. The Ye Li brothers were the most powerful tribal leaders. They directly and indirectly controlled almost half of the army in Xixia. Moreover, the current Empress of Xixia was also from the Ye Li family. Song Qingshu studied the leaders of various countries, so he naturally paid special attention to them.
"You know them?" Mu Wanqing was also surprised. Then, she said with an embarrassed expression, "Mu Yuqi is … is my father."
This time, it was Song Qingshu's turn to be surprised. "Mu Yuqi is your father?"
As if she knew what he was thinking, Mu Wanqing could only explain, "Back then, Duan Zhengchun abandoned me. My master … my mother was pregnant, and coupled with the family's elder brother's coercion, she had no choice but to marry Mu Yuqi. However, because my mother had just become pregnant with me, Mu Yuqi did not suspect anything. Instead, he took great care of us."
"But my mother still could not let go of that person. Every once in a while, she would take me to live in seclusion near Dali with the excuse of going out to relax. You probably know what happened after that. " These secrets were really embarrassing, and they also involved her mother's scandal. If she did not love Song Qingshu very much, she would not have revealed anything.
Song Qingshu thought, Your identity is really complicated. You are the daughter of the King of Southern Defense and the daughter of the Great General of Xixia. You can practically shoot a blockbuster about ethics in my previous life.
"What's the matter with that Mu Gaofeng?" Song Qingshu continued to ask.
"Recently, something happened in the Xixia Country. My father … Mu Yuqi was in a hurry to look for me and my mother, so he sent his brother, Mu Gaofeng, to fetch us. He learned from my mother that I went to Gusu City to carry out an assassination, so he followed me here. It was only then that he managed to rescue me from Mantuo Villa," Mu Wanqing answered.
"So that's how it is." Song Qingshu nodded secretly. No wonder Mu Gaofeng changed his attitude to protect her. It turned out that she was his niece.
"Brother Song, will you despise me because of this?" One had to know that premarital pregnancy was a very serious matter in this world, and illegitimate children were even more looked down upon by the secular world. Moreover, her mother's actions were indeed not very kind. Not only did she let her father take over her, but she also couldn't forget her old lover.
"You are the Great General's daughter and the princess of a prince's mansion. With such an identity, I don't know how many men want to be friends with you but can't. Having you is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone. I can't wait to be happy, so how can I despise you?" Song Qingshu hastily comforted her.
Mu Wanqing was amused by his words and couldn't help but punch his chest with her pink fist. "You are always so frivolous."
After the two of them played around for a while, Mu Wanqing suddenly thought of something. Her complexion couldn't help but change. She snorted and said, "What a good way to kill two birds with one stone. During this time, I … I have been thinking about you all the time, but you are fooling around with other women here. How can you still remember me?"
Song Qingshu knew that she was talking about Cheng Yaojia, so he hastily explained, "You misunderstood me. She is already married. She is the young madam of Cloud Manor. It doesn't matter if you misunderstand me, but if this gets out and ruins her reputation, how can she face the eyes of the world?"
Because of her mother, Mu Wanqing was also quite sensitive to such matters. Hearing him say this, she felt extremely guilty in her heart. However, she was not stupid after all. She quickly thought of the intimacy the two of them had displayed in the inn, and asked doubtfully, "Is that really the case? Then why is she always by your side? "
"That's because her husband was captured by the Mongolians, so she asked me to help save him …" Song Qingshu roughly told her the whole story.
"So that's how it is. That's really too pitiful." Mu Wanqing was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She was worried about Cheng Yaojia.
Song Qingshu secretly let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but admire himself. Just now, he didn't say a single lie, but he was able to dissolve her jealousy. He really knew the essence of the four words "avoid the important and dwell on the trivial".
"Wan 'er, I feel that your pulse is chaotic and weak. I'm afraid it's because you are too tired. Why don't you take a good rest first?" Song Qingshu touched her wrist and said with a pitiful expression.
Mu Wanqing was originally fine, but after being reminded by him, she suddenly felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawn.
"I'm really sleepy now. Murong Fu has been chasing after me like a ghost. I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep." Yawning, Murong Fu has been chasing after me like a ghost.
Song Qingshu frowned and said, "He actually bullied my good Wan 'er. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let him go."
Mu Wanqing smiled sweetly and said, "Well, he doesn't know the relationship between you and me. You can't blame him."
"Didn't I tell you to say my name when you were in danger? Murong Fu and I have a little friendship. For my sake, he shouldn't make things difficult for you." Song Qingshu couldn't help but scratch her nose.
Mu Wanqing blushed and said, "I'm a girl. How can I talk about men so often?"
Seeing her extremely shy appearance, Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh, "But you still brought me up today."
Speaking of this, Mu Wanqing was angry. She couldn't help but pinch his waist and said, "You have no conscience and deliberately bullied me. I really can't do anything about it …"
Song Qingshu laughed and repeatedly begged for mercy. It took him a long time to coax her. Perhaps it was because she was too relieved to stay by her lover's side, but it didn't take long for Mu Wanqing to fall asleep in his arms.
He knew that she had consumed too much energy during this period of time. If she didn't sleep for a few hours, she wouldn't wake up. He couldn't help but tenderly pick her up and put her on the bed.
After covering her with the quilt and kissing her, Song Qingshu tiptoed out of the door.
After closing the door, Song Qingshu's face suddenly became cold. He went straight to the next door and broke in without knocking.
"Ah!" Miss Cheng exclaimed and hurriedly took a few steps back. "You, you …" She didn't know if it was because she was afraid or because of something else, but she couldn't say the rest of her words.
Song QingShu closed the door and then silently walked to the table. He ignored her and slowly poured a cup of tea for himself. When Cheng Yaojia felt uneasy, he said, "Madam, you can be considered half a Jianghu person. Don't tell me you don't know the principle of not listening to what you shouldn't?"
"I … I didn't hear anything." Cheng Yaojia looked at the handsome man in front of her. She suddenly missed the rough and ferocious bearded man from before.
