Wanyan Zhongjie was shocked and grabbed his clothes to cover his chest. Song Qingshu patted her hand and comforted her. "Don't worry. He's just here to deliver food."
He had heard someone approaching the room. The reason why he didn't notice was that it was the servant from before.
"Young Master, supper is ready," the servant said flatteringly.
"Got it. Leave it outside for now," replied Song Qingshu. Song QingShu replied. Right now, there was Wanyan Zhongjie in the room, and his clothes were disheveled. They couldn't possibly let him in.
The servant happily carried a plate of delicacies. He thought the Young Master would reward him or something, but the Young Master didn't even let him in.
"Oh, I'll put it at the door." After putting it away, the manservant had no choice but to leave with a long face. After he left the garden, he muttered, "Young Master has really changed today. Usually, he would stretch out his hands and open his mouth to eat. Why would he take it himself …"
"What did you say?" At that moment, he heard a low voice.
The servant looked back and saw Jia Shidao standing not far away, frowning at him. He was scared out of his wits. "Old … Old Master …" He thought he was doomed. The Young Master was the Old Master's favorite. If the Old Master heard him talking about the Young Master behind his back, he would at least be skinned alive.
"What did you say about the Young Master?" asked Jia Shidao.
The servant's legs turned to jelly. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "I said too much. I won't do it again …"
"Shut up!" Jia Shidao yelled. "What did you say? Take it yourself?"
The manservant was startled. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any intention of blaming him, he was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly replied, "It's like this. Previously, Young Master asked me to prepare supper, and then …" He explained what had happened just now.
After hearing the servant's answer, Jia Shidao frowned even more. He turned around and asked the guard behind him, "I heard there was an assassin in the mansion?"
"Yes. Although the guards injured the assassin, they didn't catch him," answered the guard.
Jia Shidao's expression finally changed. He hurried to the study and said, "Follow me."
In the study, Song Qingshu was teasing Wanyan Zhongjie with the exquisite desserts of the Jia Residence, causing the young girl to pout coquettishly. He couldn't help but sigh. No wonder those 2-D anime in his previous world put so much emphasis on the throwing of food memes. It really gave people a sense of accomplishment.
As the two of them were teasing each other, Song Qingshu's expression suddenly changed. "Oh no, someone's coming!"
He hadn't expected Jia Shidao to come back so soon. Even if he did, there was still some distance between the gate of the garden and the study, which was more than enough for him to react.
But for some reason, Jia Shidao had run all the way from the gate of the yard. He didn't have time to see Wanyan Zhongjie out.
"What should we do?" Wanyan Zhongjie also realized the seriousness of the situation. Previously, Song QingShu had made a feint in order to bring her in. Now, it was too late for him to do anything.
"Don't panic. Listen to me. Later, like this …" Song Qingshu helped her put on her clothes and whispered in her ear.
Not long after, the door of the study was kicked open from the outside. A group of guards surrounded Jia Shidao and walked in. When he saw the situation in the room, Jia Shidao's expression became even more gloomy.
In addition to Jia Baoyu, there was also an extremely beautiful young girl in the study. Unfortunately, Jia Shidao didn't have time to pay attention to her beauty, because she was hiding behind Jia Baoyu, and a shining dagger was placed on his neck.
Jia Shidao was experienced and knowledgeable, so he could tell that the dagger was a precious sword that could cut a hair. If she used a little more force, her son's neck would be instantly cut off, and he wouldn't be able to save him no matter how powerful he was.
"Who are you, young lady? Did Moqi Wu send you, or did Han Xingzhou send you?" Jia Shidao waved his hand to stop the guards and said in a low voice. With his current power, there weren't many people who dared to cause trouble in the Jia Mansion. Coupled with what had happened in the palace today, he subconsciously thought that the young girl was sent by his two political enemies, and it was more likely that it was Moqi Wu.
"It's none of your business where I come from. Get out of my way!" Wanyan Zhongjie snorted and pressed the dagger down gently. "If you don't get out of my way, don't blame me for being rude."
Feeling the cold air on the blade, Song QingShu felt goosebumps all over his neck. He took the opportunity to lie down on his back. The soft touch immediately made him feel much more comfortable.
"Little girl, don't let your hand slip." Song QingShu said using the Secret Voice-sending Technique. While talking, he secretly arranged the protective Zhen Qi around his neck. He sighed inwardly, thinking that he was still not as open-minded as Guo Jing. In the original work, Guo Jing slept with Yang Guo without any precaution. If Yang Guo really made up his mind to take revenge, Guo Jing would have already met the King of Hell.
"Now you're scared? Why weren't you scared when you spanked me and took off my clothes? "Wanyan Zhongjie used Song Qingshu's body to block the others and whispered in his ear.
"If Baoyu loses a single hair, I'll make you beg for death," Jia Shidao said angrily.
Song Qingshu noticed that Jia Shidao's body shook slightly. Obviously, he was going to make a move, but he didn't have full confidence, so he stopped.
"Really?" Wanyan Zhongjie sneered and pulled a handful of hair from Song Qingshu's head. "He's lost so much hair. What can you do?"
Song Qingshu didn't expect her to do that. He couldn't help but gasp. He pretended to be crying to Jia Shidao and used the Secret Voice-sending technique to say, "You little girl, I'll teach you a lesson later."
Wanyan Zhongjie was unmoved. He casually pulled a few more strands of hair and giggled as he blew a breath of fresh air into his ear. "If you say one more word, I'll pull again until you stop talking."
Song Qingshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Every dog has its day. He had threatened her with spanking, but he didn't expect her to take revenge so quickly.
From Jia Shidao's angle, he could only see that Wanyan Zhongjie seemed to be saying something to Jia Baoyu. Unfortunately, because Wanyan Zhongjie was talking directly into his ear, he couldn't hear what they were talking about.
However, seeing Wanyan Zhongjie pull Jia Baoyu's hair again and again, Jia Shidao's face twitched a lot. He had just said that he would make her beg for death if she lost a single hair, but he didn't expect her to slap him in the face. As far as he could remember, it had been a long time since anyone had dared to talk back to him like that, ever since he had been in a high position.
"Stop messing around. Let's get out of here first." Song Qingshu had a headache. Wanyan Zhongjie was really bold. She actually dared to mess around at such a critical moment.
Wanyan Zhongjie, on the other hand, was very playful. The excitement of dancing on the tip of a knife excited her. She knew that at other times, she could only listen to Song Qingshu obediently. Now that she finally had a chance to switch positions and make him listen to her, how could she waste it?
"If you let Baoyu go, I promise on my reputation as the imperial court's Privy Emissary that I'll let you go safely." The sword on Jia Baoyu's neck was so dazzling that Jia Shidao couldn't help but say it.
"Pfft, do you think I'm a three-year-old? If I let go of this life-saving charm, how can I live?" Wanyan Zhongjie snorted. "Get out of the way. When I get to a safe place, I'll let him go."
Jia Shidao's pupils shrank slightly. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand, signaling the guards to get out of the way.
Wanyan Zhongjie smiled proudly and walked out with Song Qingshu. Along the way, Song Qingshu also pretended to block some of her blind spots, so that the hidden masters couldn't attack her.
When they reached the gate, Wanyan Zhongjie said angrily, "Where's the horse I asked you to prepare? Why isn't it ready yet?"
Jia Shidao sneered. "The horse can be sent at any time, but if you don't let him go first, how can I let you take him away like this?"
"If I let him go, will I be able to leave?" Wanyan Zhongjie sneered as well.
"Then let's stay like this for a while. Let's see who can outlast the other." After saying that, Jia Shidao closed his eyes like an old monk in meditation.
This time, it was Wanyan Zhongjie's turn to be dumbfounded. He quietly asked, "Brother Song, what do we do now?"
Song Qingshu looked at Jia Shidao, admiring him. How could this old fox, who was powerful in politics, be led by the nose by a young girl? He would definitely find a way to break the other party's rules and do things according to his own.
In fact, it was easy to break Jia Shidao's trick. It just depended on who was more ruthless. If Wanyan Zhongjie was holding the real Jia Baoyu hostage, he would directly cut off one of his fingers, or at least make him bleed a little. Then, Jia Shidao wouldn't be able to sit still.
Unfortunately, this Jia Baoyu was a fake. Song Qingshu didn't want to cut off a finger or anything.
While he was hesitating, Jia Shidao suddenly opened his eyes. Chen Jian, who was next to him, suddenly attacked as if they had a telepathic connection. A sharp blade light slashed toward Wanyan Zhongjie's head. The strike was fast and accurate. The two of them were a few feet apart, but as soon as Jia Shidao drew his blade, the blade was already slashing toward him like a mountain.
Song Qingshu was shocked. He wondered why Jia Shidao dared to take such a risk. But in the next second, he realized that Jia Shidao had said that to see Wanyan Zhongjie's reaction. However, Wanyan Zhongjie didn't know what to do at that moment. He had instantly captured the weakness in Wanyan Zhongjie's heart, which was why he had asked his master to make such a risky move. He was betting that Wanyan Zhongjie would make the wrong choice in a split second.
Song Qingshu wanted to remind her, but it was too late. As Jia Shidao had expected, Wanyan Zhongjie didn't expect his opponent to attack without caring about Jia Baoyu's life. Originally, it would have been the best choice to use Song Qingshu as a shield, but at that moment, Wanyan Zhongjie didn't think about the pros and cons. He was worried that he would hurt Song Qingshu, so he chose to retreat.
