Listening to Mu Wanqing's sobbing narration, Song QingShu finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
After Qin Hui killed Yue Fei, he became very powerful in the country. Coupled with his many henchmen, even Emperor Zhao Gou was afraid of him and worried that he would seize the throne.
Zhao Gou was lucky. Qin Hui was old and couldn't hold on any longer. Before he died, he wanted his son to take over his position, but Zhao Gou politely refused.
Everyone in the Qin Family was instantly shaken. They knew that they had stood at the heart of the struggle these few years, and had offended many people. Adding on the fact that Zhao Gou's attitude was also ambiguous and hard to understand, the people of the Qin Family were worried that they would be punished in the future, and that they would be exterminated. Thus, they had started planning for the future very early on.
After Qin Hui's death, Zhao Gou found an excuse to retire all the Qin family members. The Qin family took the opportunity to move abroad.
At that time, only the Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty could compete with the Southern Song Dynasty. Qin Hui had a good relationship with the Jin Dynasty, but the Jin Dynasty used him to control the court of the Southern Song Dynasty. Now that the Qin Family had lost its power in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty had lost its value. If they went to the Jin, they might be sold to the Southern Song for more benefits.
The Qing and the Jin were brothers. Since they couldn't go to the Jin, they couldn't go to the Qing either.
Other than the Qing and the Jin, Dali was too weak, Tubo was too remote, Mongolia was too far away, and Liao was struggling at death's door. In the end, only Xixia was left. It had a feud with the Song and wouldn't betray the Qin family. It was strong enough to protect itself. In addition, Xixia was in dire need of talents. It was easy for the Qin family to make a name for themselves there. Thus, after many considerations, the Qin family moved to Xixia.
Perhaps because they had done too much evil, Qin Hui and his wife didn't have any children for many years. To avoid having no descendants, they adopted the son of his wife's brother and named him Qin Hui. After Qin Hui's death, Qin Hui became the leader of the Qin family.
Mu Wanqing's mother, Qin Hongmian, was also from the Qin family. In terms of seniority, she was Qin Hui's niece. She had been beautiful since she was young. After the Qin family came to Xixia, they promised Qin Hongmian to him. In order to gain a foothold there, the Xixia General Mu Yuqi wanted to remarry.
At that time, Qin Hongmian had already met Duan Zhengchun in the Jianghu and was even pregnant with his flesh and blood. Unfortunately, Duan Zhengchun could not marry her. No matter what, the Qin Clan was still a prestigious clan. How could they allow a woman of the Qin Clan to get pregnant before marriage?
Because her clansmen kept pressuring her, and because Qin Hongmian wanted to hide the fact that she was pregnant, she had no choice but to marry Mu Yuqi.
Mu Yuqi was the Great General of the Western Xia Country and held nearly half of the military power in the Western Xia Country. His sister was also the Empress of the Western Xia Country. The Qin family had used Qin Hongmian to cling onto this thick thigh and finally settled down in the Western Xia Country.
"Wanqing, even if you were Qin Hui's granddaughter, I would still like you, let alone the fact that you and your mother are only members of the Qin family!" Song Qingshu hugged her and said softly, "Everyone has to bear their own sins. What does it have to do with their loved ones? You and your mother can't choose where you come from, but you can choose what you will do in the future. You haven't helped Qin Hui over the years, so why would I take my anger out on you? "
"Really?" Mu Wanqing looked at him with a face full of surprise.
"Of course it's true!" Song Qingshu didn't understand why the other party was so excited. It turned out that in this world, the son had to pay the father's debts, and the daughter had to pay the mother's debts. Although Mu Wanqing wasn't Qin Hui's granddaughter, she still had some family connections. This had always been a knot in her heart, so Song Qingshu's advanced thinking naturally hit Mu Wanqing's heart.
"You're so nice!" Mu Wanqing threw herself into his arms and pressed her face tightly against his chest.
Hugging her soft and youthful body, Song Qingshu suddenly felt a wave of warmth. He hurriedly hugged her and comforted her softly.
"Song Qingshu, you're so bad …" Mu Wanqing's face suddenly turned as red as rouge, and she pouted coquettishly.
"What's wrong?" Song Qingshu was startled.
Mu Wanqing glanced at the lower part of his abdomen and said with a red face, "Are you holding it in? Do you want me to help you …" As she spoke, she shrunk back into the blanket.
Song Qingshu's face heated up. He couldn't help but curse himself for being a beast. She probably felt it when their bodies were pressed against each other. He hurriedly helped her up and said softly, "No need, I just want to hug you and sleep."
Mu Wanqing was grateful. She curled up in his arms and gently drew circles on his chest with her fingers. "Song Lang, do you blame me for not giving my body to you?"
Song Qingshu smiled slightly. "How could that be? In my heart, you're the most pure girl."
"If I was really pure, I wouldn't have done that for you … for you." Mu Wanqing's face heated up. She lightly spat and sighed faintly. "Song Lang, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. It's just that my mother suffered too much because she got pregnant out of wedlock. She warned me since I was a child to learn from her mistakes and made me promise her that I would never make the same mistake again. I don't want to see her sad, so …"
Song Qingshu hurriedly hugged her and comforted her. "I know the reason. So in the future, I will go to your house to propose marriage. After I get your mother's approval, I will … 'bully' you."
Mu Wanqing's face reddened. Her expression suddenly became bashful. "Actually, if Song Lang, you really want to … want to bully me now, I … I won't … won't refuse you."
Song Qingshu shook his head. "Your Big Brother Song is not a beast. I will save the most beautiful moment of your life for the wedding night."
Mu Wanqing was moved. She hung on his neck and whispered, "Big Brother Song ~"
The two of them stayed like this for a long time. Mu Wanqing suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were shining. "Big Brother Song, if you really want it, you can go next door and find that Madame Lu. I won't be jealous."
She had been raised by Qin Hongmian and lived in seclusion deep in the mountains. Her temperament was very similar to her mother's. At the same time, she never had any ethical principles in her mind. In her opinion, it didn't matter if Miss Cheng was Madame Lu or another madame. As long as her lover liked her, it didn't matter what happened between the two of them.
It just so happened that Miss Cheng had heard the noise next door. She struggled for a long time in her heart. In the end, she couldn't suppress her curiosity. She put her ear to the wall to eavesdrop and happened to hear this sentence. She was startled and hastily ran back to the bed. She curled up under the quilt. Her heart was immediately filled with worry. "Will he come over later? If he really comes, should I pretend to be asleep or fight back with all my might … "
Song Qingshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Mu Wanqing's words. He gently kissed her forehead. "I won't go anywhere tonight. I just want to sleep with you in my arms."
"Okay ~" Mu Wanqing's face lit up with joy. She twisted her body and changed into a more comfortable position as she curled up in his arms.
Song Qingshu smiled knowingly. He hugged her and comforted her gently. On the other hand, Miss Cheng next door was filled with worry. She did not sleep the entire night.
At dawn the next day, Song QingShu woke up. The Joy Dhyana that he cultivated mainly focused on Yin and Yang Qi, so he didn't need to sleep as much as ordinary people. Seeing that Mu Wanqing was sleeping like a baby, Song QingShu gently kissed her forehead and quietly walked out of the room.
He ordered his subordinates to prepare breakfast for Mu Wanqing and ordered a few of her favorite snacks. Suddenly, he remembered that the White Lotus Mother was in the courtyard. After a moment of hesitation, he ordered his subordinates to prepare a new set of women's clothes. He took the clothes and made his way to her room.
When he opened the door, she had already vanished without a trace. The room was empty. Song Qingshu was not surprised. He had been expecting this long ago.
Suddenly, his gaze landed on a piece of paper on the table. Song Qingshu immediately smiled bitterly. "I wonder if I'll release the tiger back into the mountains this time." It turned out that there were a few beautiful but fierce words written on the piece of paper: Yesterday's humiliation, I will definitely return it in the future!
When he returned to the room, Mu Wanqing was already up. Just as Song Qingshu wanted to talk about love with her, there was a noise at the entrance of the courtyard.
"I am Mu Wanqing's uncle. Why can't I go in?" Then, a hunchback rushed in.
"Reporting to the Marshal, he …" Several guards were sweating profusely. Just as they were about to use force to get him out, Song Qingshu waved his hand, indicating for them to leave.
"So it's Hero Mu." Song Qingshu cupped his hands and said.
"I'm not worthy of being called a hero."
Mu Gaofeng laughed awkwardly. He turned to Mu Wanqing and said, "Come back with me!"
"But uncle …"
Mu Wanqing still wanted to say something, but Mu Gaofeng immediately interrupted her. "Have you forgotten your mother's lesson?"
Mu Wanqing immediately fell silent. Only then did Mu Gaofeng say to Song QingShu, "Sir, although your martial arts are matchless, the daughter of my Mu family can't be bullied for no reason. If you are interested in our family's girl, you can come to Xixia and marry her. Before that, I'm sorry that I can't let her stay here with you."
Song Qingshu frowned. He was about to say something, but Mu Wanqing was worried that he would vent his anger on Mu Gaofeng. She hurriedly pulled him aside and whispered, "Song Qingshu, Uncle Gaofeng has been very good to me since I was a child. Don't blame him."
Song QingShu smiled. "He's your uncle, so naturally, he's my uncle. Why would I blame him?"
"Thank you, Song Qingshu!" Mu Wanqing smiled sweetly, which made Song Qingshu's bones soften. "But this time uncle came to me because something happened at home, so I have to go back with him."
"So soon?" Song Qingshu frowned.
"I can't bear to leave you …" Mu Wanqing's face turned red. She quietly glanced at Mu Gaofeng and whispered, "But uncle just said that. How can I continue to stay here?"
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. Although with his martial arts and power, he didn't care about Mu Gaofeng at all. But he was Mu Wanqing's elder, and he was in the right. He and Mu Wanqing didn't have any status. It was really not good for her reputation to hang around like this.
"After I deal with the things here, I will come to Xixia to find you as soon as possible." Song Qingshu didn't want to put Mu Wanqing in a difficult position, so he gave up the idea of forcing her to stay.
"En ~" When Mu Wanqing saw that Mu Gaofeng wasn't paying attention to them, she tiptoed and kissed Song QingShu. Then, she ran back to Mu Gaofeng's side as if she was escaping. Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving, Song QingShu suddenly felt lost.
