Lu Guanying was moved. He hurriedly got up and bowed. "Then … then Guanying will thank Prince Song in advance."
"Young Master, you don't have to be so polite. Rest and recuperate. Once your injuries are healed, I will teach you the 'Bixie Swordplay'." Song Qingshu quickly reached out to support him.
"Mmm!" Lu Guanying nodded heavily, tears welling up in his eyes. His heart was filled with gratitude towards Song QingShu. He secretly compared himself to Tang Kuo Bian and realized that the difference was like heaven and earth.
"I will go out first. Young Master, rest well." Song Qingshu saw that it was about time and got up.
"I will go see him off." Cheng Yaojia also stood up. She didn't know why, but now that she was in the same room with her husband, she felt particularly depressed. Instead, she preferred to stay with Song Qingshu.
"Mmm, see the young master off." Lu Guanying didn't think too much about it. Instead, he eagerly asked his wife to see him off.
When they reached the courtyard, Song Qingshu suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at Cheng Yaojia with a faint smile.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Cheng Yaojia blushed slightly and turned her head away.
"I want to know what Madam is thinking." Song Qingshu walked to her side and chuckled. "After what happened last time, Madam and Young Master Lu's relationship is only in name. In addition to Young Master Lu's divorce letter, Madam is now a free person. Why do you still want to stay by his side?"
"I don't know." Cheng Yaojia looked at him blankly. Her lips moved slightly. "We are husband and wife. Now that he has encountered such a situation, he needs help. How can I leave him at this time?"
Song Qingshu nodded. "Madam is really kind-hearted. This is also good. Take care of him for a while. Once he gets used to it, you can make other plans."
"Mmm." Cheng Yaojia nodded. However, a trace of sadness flashed in the depths of her eyes. The other party didn't take the initiative to promise her anything, so she naturally didn't say anything. When she thought of the fact that she had been married before and that such an experience meant that the two of them were destined to have no future, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for herself.
Song Qingshu was keenly aware of the change in her mood. He thought for a while and roughly guessed what she was thinking. He stepped forward and held her in his arms. "If Furen is willing, I will marry you in a sedan chair."
Miss Cheng's heart warmed, but she angrily said, "You already have a wife at home. Even if you want to take a concubine, how can you use eight sedan bearers?"
Hearing this, Song Qingshu's heart was moved. Cheng Yaojia obviously didn't mind being a concubine. "Furen, you can rest assured. Whether it is a wife or a concubine, my Song family uses a large sedan chair. Moreover, the wives and concubines are treated equally, there is no distinction between them."
Hearing his heartbeat, Cheng Yaojia could not stop her tears from flowing down. She did not know if she was moved or gratified. She wiped the tears on her face and pushed him away. Although her tears were flowing, there was a faint smile on her face. "You can fool a little girl with such words. How can a wife and concubine not have a big or small difference? Humph, I am not stupid. Why would I give up my position as the Young Madam of the Lu family and run over to be your concubine? "
Song QingShu let out a deep sigh. "It seems that I was overthinking things."
Seeing the loneliness on his face, he turned around and was about to leave. Cheng Yaojia suddenly became anxious and pulled him back.
Song Qingshu looked at her in astonishment. Cheng Yaojia's small face suddenly turned red. "If I really abandon Guanying and follow you, it will not be good for your reputation or mine. Moreover, the Lu and Cheng families have been good friends for generations. My family will not agree to me leaving the Lu family …"
The corners of Song Qingshu's mouth slightly rose. He deliberately sighed again. "It seems that you are still more willing to be Mrs. Lu."
Cheng Yaojia anxiously stamped her small feet and her breathing became rapid. Her plump chest trembled a few times as she said, "You, do you really want me to say it so clearly? With Guanying's current situation, I … he and I are only husband and wife in name. We are not husband and wife in reality. If … if you … think about it in the future … I can … I can quietly … follow you. "
Song Qingshu saw that her earlobes were completely red. He knew that she was extremely shy. However, he liked her shyness. He could not help but deliberately moved closer to her ear and teased her, "I wonder what Madam wants to do with me?"
"Hateful …" Cheng Yaojia could not hold on any longer. She pouted coquettishly and turned around to run away. Song Qingshu laughed loudly behind her.
Song Qingshu returned to his room. A subordinate of the Golden Dragon Gang sent him a message. Li Kexiu wanted to see him.
"Strange, why does he want to see me so soon?"
Song Qingshu was lost in thought. He could not help but be curious. After all, they had parted on bad terms not long ago. There was no reason for the other party to come to see him so soon. Could it be that he was willing to give in and no longer care about his daughter's position as Empress?
With this kind of curiosity, Song Qingshu once again saw Li Kexiu. The place where the two sides met this time was on a gaily-painted boat on the river. Song Qingshu was skilled and bold, so he was not afraid of any ambush from the other side. He calmly sat down in front of Li Kexiu.
"Nephew, you really have a good bearing." Li Kexiu revealed a strange expression.
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "Uncle Li also has an extraordinary bearing."
Both of them looked at each other and burst into laughter. Both of them understood the meaning of each other's words. Li Kexiu admired Song Qingshu for coming alone. Song Qingshu admired Li Kexiu for daring to be so close to him. After all, with Song Qingshu's current cultivation, even if Li Kexiu had a hundred thousand elite soldiers, they would not be able to save his life at such a close distance.
"I was indeed a bit angry during the day. However, after I came back, I carefully thought about it and found that what you said was not unreasonable." Li Kexiu poured a cup of tea for Song Qingshu. She then said, "This time, I specifically called you over to avoid any unexpected events. I want to tell nephew that I have already thought it through and am willing to cooperate with nephew. The position of Imperial Concubine is not an injustice to Yuanzhi."
"Really?" Song Qingshu's eyes widened in disbelief. He could wear out iron shoes in fruitless search, but by chance he found it effortlessly. However, this happiness came too quickly. It was somewhat unreal.
"Of course it is true." Li Kexiu then changed the topic. "However, there is one matter that I need to trouble nephew with."
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "Uncle Li, please speak. Not to mention one, even if it was ten or a hundred, I would not even frown."
Li Kexiu shook her head and looked at him meaningfully. "Nephew should not speak too early. This matter is not so easy to accomplish."
Song Qingshu lightly said, "If it was something easy to accomplish, why would Uncle Li open your mouth to find me?"
"Nephew indeed has a good bearing!" Li Kexiu gave a thumbs up. She then continued, "You also know that Yangzhou is currently at the mouth of the wind and waves. All the forces are staring at this fat meat. If I choose the Golden Snake Camp, I will definitely offend a few other forces. Let's not talk about Jin and Qing. Nephew previously said that he could help settle them. I believe in nephew's ability. Although Mongolia is strong, it is after all too far away. It is beyond their reach. I am also not worried. However, I have always been very close to the Southern Song. They have always viewed me as something in their pocket. If they find out that the cooked duck has flown away, they will definitely fly into a rage out of humiliation. "
Song Qingshu nodded. This was also the question that he had been thinking about.
