? Hearing his words, the Tang family couldn't help but be furious. Cheng Ying also looked unhappy, thinking that this person really didn't know what was good for him.
Lu Guanying and his wife looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh at Song Qingshu's valiance. At the same time, they were secretly delighted. He and his wife had suffered a lot from this old woman over the years. Now that Song Qingshu was arguing with her, he could help them vent their anger.
Lu Wushuang had been holding back for a long time. At this time, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She stepped forward and shouted, "Do you know who the old madam is?"
Song Qingshu was not moved at all. He just replied lightly, "Oh? I'm all ears. "
Lu Wushuang held her breath. For a moment, she really couldn't think of a way to flatter the old madam. She could only say hurriedly, "The old madam is a madam of the imperial title bestowed by the current emperor. She is also from the Jiangling Tang family. Do you know the Jiangling Tang family? The old madam's grandfather was involved in the political affairs during the Xining era. He was known for his honesty and uprightness! "
Cheng Ying smiled bitterly in her heart. She thought that her cousin was too simple and straightforward. How could she flatter someone like this?
However, she had misunderstood Lu Wushuang. Because the old madam always talked about these deeds, Lu Wushuang subconsciously used them in a hurry.
Song Qingshu didn't show regret or fear like Lu Wushuang expected. Instead, he glanced at her and said lightly, "I'll add 30 more kowtows."
Lu Wushuang was in disbelief at first, then she shouted angrily, "Who do you think you are? … "
The old madam finally couldn't hold back anymore. She slammed her walking stick heavily on the ground, "Wushuang, don't talk nonsense with this kind of person. Someone, drag this person away for me and give him 80 floggings."
Cheng Ying hurriedly said, "Old madam, I'm afraid even a strong man will die after 80 floggings. I'm afraid his thin body won't be able to withstand it."
As Huang Yaoshi's last disciple, her martial art skill was considered very good among her peers. A moment ago she quietly observed this somewhat arrogant young master, but she could not detect any internal energy fluctuation from his body. Who would have thought that at such a young age he had already reached the realm of returning to one's true essence? She thought he did not know any martial art at all.
Song Qingshu looked at her in surprise, thinking that she was kind-hearted.
Old Madam Tang frowned when she heard Cheng Ying's advice. She was displeased, but when she thought of the other party's identity, she snorted and said, "I'll give Miss Cheng some face and change the punishment to 60 strokes."
Cheng Ying smiled bitterly, thinking that if he were to be flogged sixty times, he would most likely be crippled. But in the end, she couldn't persuade him any further. She could only think of teaching this arrogant young man a lesson. If worst comes to worst, she could take out some of the Peach Blossom Island's elixirs and save his life.
When they heard Old Madam Tang's shout, a dozen burly guards rushed in and aggressively surrounded Song Qingshu.
However, Song Qingshu acted as if he did not see it. Not only did he not avoid it, but he also picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank it leisurely.
"Stop!" Lu Guanying hurriedly rushed out to stop those people. What kind of joke was this? He was well aware of Song Qingshu's martial arts. If he were to make a move, these people would have no way out.
Old Madam Tang, however, thought that he was protecting the other party. She was so angry that she smashed the teacup on the floor. "Lu Guanying, you traitor! Get lost!"
Lu Guanying suppressed his anger and explained, "Reporting to Old Madam, this young master is … he is …" Suddenly, he did not know how to explain. At this point, even if he revealed Song Qingshu's identity, with her temper, there was no way she would let it go so easily.
Just as he was in a dilemma, a surprised voice suddenly came from the door. "What are you all doing?"
Song Qingshu was still leisurely drinking his tea, not even his eyes moved. The rest of the people in the room turned to look and saw an old man and a middle-aged man standing at the door. It was Lu Zai, the clan leader, and Lu You, who was then the Privy Council's Secretary.
Old Madam Tang seemed to have seen her savior. She immediately burst into tears. "Master, you have to help me."
Lu Zai was shocked. "What happened?"
Lu You was also bewildered. He couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. "Prince Song, it's you?"
Everyone was taken aback by this turn of events. Even Old Madam Tang stopped crying and looked at them in confusion.
"Wu Guan, who is this person?" Lu Zai couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw his usually calm son like this.
Lu You said with a smile, "Father, weren't we talking about his deeds on the way here?"
"Talking about his deeds, and his surname is Song …" Lu Zai's eyes suddenly lit up. "Could it be the Golden Snake King Song Qingshu, Prince Song?"
Only then did Song Qingshu stand up and bow. "Greetings, Uncle Lu. Greetings, Brother Lu." He had always admired Lu You very much. Moreover, when he was poisoned in Yangzhou City, Lu You had saved him, so he was naturally polite to him.
The reason why he had confronted Old Madam Tang before was because he had read about the sad love between Lu You and Tang Wan in his previous life. It was caused by this old woman's outstanding obstructions. It just so happened that she was deliberately making things difficult for him this time, so he naturally wouldn't be polite to her. Secondly, this trip to the south this time was to make an appointment with the Southern Song Dynasty. If his attitude was too humble, it would be easy for others to guess his real trump card. If that happened, the Southern Song Dynasty would know that he wanted to negotiate peace, and then the following negotiations would be at a disadvantage. Therefore, he used the matter of Old Madam Tang to send a strong signal to the outside world, just in time to confuse the relevant people's judgment.
"Previously, I heard from Wu Guan that the Golden Snake King who took the general's head in the midst of thousands of soldiers was an elegant young master. This old man didn't quite believe it, but now that I've seen him, he's indeed a talented man. He's even a few years younger than Wu Guan's description." Lu Zai laughed.
Lu You also smiled. "Prince Song has always been a god-like figure. Those people in the Privy Council said that the battle report from Jianghuai was exaggerated, but I've personally seen Prince Song in action. I absolutely believe that he can capture Li Kexiu in the midst of thousands of soldiers by himself."
Song Qingshu lightly smiled. "The two of you are too polite. Previously, Brother Lu saved us in Yangzhou, so it's not too rude for us to pay a visit this time, right?"
"Not at all, not at all. Young Master, please take a seat." Lu Zai said with a smile. It should be known that the Lu family had been declining by his generation. He had always been thinking about how to revive the Lu family's former glory. Originally, he had taken advantage of the relationship between Lu Feiqing and Li Kexiu to get in touch with Han Xingzhou. Just as he was about to rise to the top, who knew that what happened in Yangzhou would ruin his many years of planning.
Having lost his value, Han Xingzhou's attitude towards the Lu family had clearly become much colder. Just as Lu Zai was worrying about this, Song Qingshu appeared in front of him. He keenly realized that the Lu family's comeback depended on this young man.
Apart from Lu Guanying and Miss Cheng, everyone else in the room was dumbfounded by the sudden change in the situation.
Cheng Ying's beautiful eyes shone. So he's the Golden Snake King who has been in the limelight in Jianghu for the past two years? Even her prideful master had once praised this rising star and felt that it was a pity that they didn't have the fate to meet him …
"What's this?" Lu Zai and his son noticed the strangeness in the room and couldn't help but be shocked.
Old Madam Tang's face instantly turned red. Although she was usually hot-tempered in the family, she was not a fool. When she saw the expressions of her husband and son, she instantly realized that this young man's identity was absolutely noble.
What's more, she had heard about what happened in Yangzhou from her son. She knew that even a person like Han Xingzhou was very polite to him.
But after all, she had been living like a princess for decades. She couldn't immediately smile at him.
Just as she was feeling awkward, Song Qingshu said, "Nothing. I was just chatting happily with Old Madam Tang. Don't you think so, Old Madam?"
Song Qingshu knew that enough was enough. After all, he didn't come to find trouble. He still had to cooperate with the Lu Family and teach Old Madam Tang a lesson. After all, this was a world that paid attention to ethics. Lu You would definitely help his mother. It wouldn't be good if both sides couldn't get out of the situation.
Old Madam Tang was startled. After all, she was from a prestigious family. She quickly reacted and took the opportunity to say, "Yes, yes, yes. We were just talking about the injury on Wushuang's leg. Wushuang, quickly go and kowtow to Prince Song and beg him to help."
Since the other party had saved her face, she naturally understood the principle of returning a favor. After thinking about it, she could only let Lu Wushuang suffer.
"Old Madam?" Lu Wushuang's eyes suddenly turned red. She didn't expect the world to change so quickly. Old Madam, who was on her side just a moment ago, suddenly changed her attitude.
Old Madam Tang glared at her fiercely. "Prince Song is treating your leg. Shouldn't you kowtow a few times? Quickly go! "
Lu Wushuang looked stubborn. She bit her lips tightly and a trace of blood seeped out, as if she didn't notice it. She originally wanted to leave, but when she thought of the fact that Old Madam had treated her well during her years of living in the Lu Mansion, she felt that she would be guilty if the matter just now was exposed because of her and Old Madam was disgraced because of her.
Cheng Ying couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up and said crisply, "I have heard that Golden Snake King is loyal and courageous. He is a great hero admired by the world. Why should you lower yourself to the level of a little girl?"
Song Qingshu replied lightly, "I won't lower myself to the level of her. But according to etiquette, it's not wrong for her to kowtow to me."
Cheng Ying asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Song Qingshu smiled slightly. "Miss Lu is Li Mochou's disciple, and Li Mochou is my subordinate. Even she has to bow to me when she sees me, not to mention her disciple."
Hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked. As members of the Lu Clan, they naturally had a deep impression of Li Mochou. They hated and feared Li Mochou. Li Mochou had killed Lu Zhanyuan's family, so they naturally wanted to avenge their clansmen. But Li Mochou's martial arts were too strong. She had killed many of their experts, so the Lu Mansion had to give up on the idea of revenge.
Even a demoness like Li Mochou was his subordinate. The Lu Mansion's respect for Song Qingshu increased by another level.
