After the two of them fooled around for a while, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly thought of something and said with a faint smile, "You took a huge risk to sneak in here this time to save your lover, right?"
Song Qingshu said frankly, "That's right. After all, I owe her a favor. I was worried that she would be kissed by a wolf, so I snuck in. I didn't expect to meet you here. What a pleasant surprise."
"A pleasant surprise?" Zhou Zhiruo chuckled. "I think you're disappointed."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Is there a need to be jealous?" Song Qingshu looked gloomy.
"Shouldn't I be jealous when my husband is fooling around with another married woman?" Zhou Zhiruo snorted. "Get that woman here."
"Huh?" Song Qingshu was dumbfounded and said angrily, "We're on the Island of Heroes now, so we should be careful."
The corners of Zhou Zhiruo's lips curled up. "Why? Do you think I'm looking for trouble with her?"
Song Qingshu smiled awkwardly and did not answer. However, his expression said it all.
"Don't worry, I know what's important." Zhou Zhiruo reached out and pinched him. "I asked her to come here to help you force the poison out."
"Huh? Force the poison out?" Song Qingshu could not react for a moment.
"Yes, didn't you say that you wanted to use her to temporarily suppress the poison of the Golden Ripple Flower so that you can use your Vital Qi to force the poison out?" Zhou Zhiruo answered calmly.
"That … That's not very good." Song QingShu's tone was a little weak. Previously, when he was in bed with Qi Fang, he said that he was forcing the poison out, but in reality, it was a very romantic thing. Now that he was really in front of his wife, even with his thick skin, he could not bring himself to do it.
"What's not good about it?" Zhou Zhiruo said quickly, "Your safety is the first priority. Right now, the most important thing is to help you recover your strength. Only then can I be completely at ease. Otherwise, if your identity is exposed and something happens to you on this island, what do you want Ah-Jiu, Qingqing … and … and me to do? "
Song Qingshu was moved and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you jealous?"
"Yes, of course!" Zhou Zhiruo glared at him fiercely. "I'll deal with you slowly in the future, but if something happens to you here, I won't be able to be jealous even if I wanted to."
Seeing that Song Qingshu was still hesitating, Zhou Zhiruo continued, "Isn't that young woman your benefactor? Aren't you worried that she will be bullied by the other people on this island?"
Song QingShu was startled. In the beginning, Qi Fang was prepared to be offered to this young master in embroidered gown, so naturally, no one dared to touch her. But now, the young master in embroidered gown had clearly chosen Zhou Zhiruo. If the servants of the Isle of Heroes thought that the young master in embroidered gown did not fancy Qi Fang and dealt with her in private, it would be terrible.
"I'll immediately send someone to find her." Song Qingshu couldn't sit still any longer. He hurriedly got up and went out to order the servants outside the courtyard.
Looking at her husband's back, Zhou Zhiruo faintly sighed. As a woman, how could she not mind this kind of thing? However, their relationship as husband and wife was a little special. In the beginning, they were husband and wife in name, but they were not husband and wife. Later, because of a misunderstanding, they became enemies. So when she found out that her husband was fooling around outside, she didn't feel the slightest bit moved. At that time, she only wanted to kill Song Qingshu to avenge her innocence.
Later, when she failed to avenge her husband, she was forced to sleep with him. This happened a few times. Maybe it was Stockholm syndrome, but Zhou Zhiruo found that she gradually developed feelings for this man.
She had been trying to avoid this feeling, but when she heard the fake news that Song Qingshu failed to assassinate Kangxi and was turned into ashes, the suppressed feelings in her heart completely exploded. She even disregarded the risk and entered the palace alone to assassinate him.
Of course, the ending was a happy one. However, she was surprised to find that her husband also had a few outstanding women who were deeply in love with him. After all, they were all willing to enter the palace to avenge him. Zhou Zhiruo was also very moved. Moreover, at that time, the relationship between her and Song Qingshu was a little strange. It was completely different from a normal married couple. So, she couldn't put on the airs of a legal wife to drive away her husband's women.
In this way, she maintained a strange balance with the other women. Later, she accompanied her husband through a narrow escape from death. Zhou Zhiruo finally realized that those women had become an important part of her husband's life. If she insisted on putting on the airs of a legal wife to drive away those women, it was hard to say who would have the last laugh in the future.
In addition, she had experienced trials and tribulations with Ah Jiu, Xia Qingqing, and the others. They had more or less developed some friendship. Zhou Zhiruo struggled in her heart for a long time, but in the end, she chose to remain silent.
In the end, Zhou Zhiruo was a slightly two-faced woman. When she realized that as Song Qingshu became more and more outstanding, more women would appear by his side in the future. Since it was a freak combination of factors that made it impossible for her to monopolize her husband, she began to think about how to maximize her own interests.
Compared to those other women, she had a natural advantage — she was Song Qingshu's first official wife!
Since she could not monopolize her husband, she would definitely not give up the position of legal wife to others. However, she also knew that it was not up to her own will whether or not she could sit firmly in this position. When she saw how powerful the forces behind Ah Jiu, Dongfang Muxue, and Xia Qingqing were, and how each of them had provided great help to Song Qingshu in his quest for hegemony, she felt a deep sense of danger. That was why she decided to infiltrate the White Lotus Society and attempt to use her father's connections to control the White Lotus Society.
With this generous gift as a dowry, she would have enough confidence to socialize with other women in the imperial harem in the future.
However, all of this was because she treated Ah Jiu, Dongfang Muxue, and Xia Qingqing as opponents of the same level. As for women like Qi Fang, she actually did not care about them at all.
Qi Fang was a married woman. Her status meant that she and Song Qingshu would only have a fleeting relationship.
Zhou Zhiruo could clearly see the pros and cons of this situation. Rather than showing her jealous side for this kind of woman, she would rather take advantage of the situation and sell out her husband. Of course, if the other party was a woman like Zhao Min, she would definitely not be as easy to talk to as she was now.
Not long after, a servant of the Isle of Heroes led a beautiful young woman into the room. Then, he tactfully left and closed the door.
As she looked at the graceful young woman in front of her, Zhou Zhiruo snorted inwardly. This scoundrel's standards are really high. Every time he hooks up with an extremely outstanding woman, she thought.
Qi Fang's hands were trembling nervously in her sleeves. The servant who brought her here told her that she would be serving an extremely distinguished guest tonight. At the same time, he also placed a restriction on her body. Now, she could be said to have no ability to resist at all. She could only allow herself to be taken advantage of by others.
These days, she had been hoping that Song Qingshu would come and save her. However, as the days passed by, he still did not appear. In the end, she became a little disheartened. After all, she knew that Song Qingshu was currently suffering from a highly toxic poison. It would be a problem for him to even protect himself.
However, there were so many magical stories about him circulating in the boudoir circle of the noble ladies in Lin 'an City. Thus, she always held on to a glimmer of hope.
Unfortunately, this glimmer of hope was finally shattered. She had already been taken into another man's room. One could imagine what would happen next.
