"Got lost?" Song Qingshu's expression changed. He thought that as the eldest daughter of the Chancellor of the Directorate, there would always be servants looking after her when she went out. If she still got lost, it was obvious that she had been kidnapped by human traffickers.
No matter in which world, human traffickers were an abhorrent existence. Song Qingshu knew that the eldest daughter of the Li family was likely to meet with misfortune. If she was not sold as a slave, then she would be sold to a brothel. However, it was not appropriate to say this out loud, so he could only comfort her, "Madam, the heavens help your sister. Maybe she met a noble person and saved her."
"I hope so." Li Wan sighed. In fact, their family had long given up hope for this.
After arriving at the main hall, Li Wan originally planned to go directly to the Inner Residence. However, Song Qingshu's small talk had an effect. Second Miss Li, who had always been shy, was embarrassed to just leave like this. She asked, "It's been so long, and I still haven't had the chance to ask your name?"
If they were in the Jia family, with Li Wan's status as a widow, she would never talk to a man like this in private. However, now that she was back in her own home, she did not have so many scruples. Moreover, she had just left the Jia family, and it was as if the mountain that had been pressing on her heart had been moved away. At this moment, she appeared more excited and relaxed than usual.
"I am Song Qingshu. This time, I have come to pay a visit to your father." Song Qingshu answered.
"Song Qingshu? Why does this name sound so familiar? " Li Wan muttered to herself, and a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. She suddenly thought of something and looked at him in shock, "You are the immortal who climbed up to the sky to summon the rain?"
Song Qingshu was startled, and then smiled, "Song Mou does not have three heads and six arms, so I am not worthy of being called an immortal."
Li Wan's face turned slightly red, and she also realized that she had overreacted. However, she could not be blamed for this. It should be known that because of Sang Feihong of the Five Lakes Sect, Song Qingshu's deeds had long been made into various storytelling plays, which were sung in the streets and alleys, restaurants, and tea houses. It was unknown how many girls in the boudoir were moved, and even the womenfolk of the Jia family were no exception.
Sometimes, in the dead of the night, Li Wan couldn't help but think that if the legendary figure suddenly stepped on the colorful auspicious cloud one day and rescued her from the sea of suffering, how great would that be?
Although Li Wan's heart was like a piece of dead wood in the eyes of the people around her, only she knew that under the dead wood, there was a faint spark, as if she was waiting for something.
Of course, Li Wan was a married person after all, so she was more rational. In fact, she also understood that most of these storytellers were exaggerating. How could there be such a perfect man in the world?
However, what happened in the Imperial Palace last night was witnessed by thousands of people, and even many people outside the Imperial Palace were lucky enough to witness it. When the specific news came out from the Imperial Palace, the entire Lin 'an City was stirred.
Li Wan had originally slept very early. She only knew what had happened after hearing the servant girls' excited discussion. She was a little dazed.
However, the girl's feelings came and went quickly. She soon remembered her identity and buried some thoughts that she shouldn't have deep in the bottom of her heart. With flagging interest, she asked Mrs. Jia for a leave and went back to her parents' home to relax. Mrs. Jia actually loved her granddaughter-in-law very much, so she naturally had no reason to refuse.
However, Li Wan didn't expect that she would meet the legendary man at home. She had never looked at him carefully before. Now that she knew his identity, she subconsciously looked at him up and down. She only felt that he was handsome with starry eyes and handsome eyebrows. More importantly, he had a unique temperament of calmness and indifference, which perfectly matched the image in her imagination.
With Song Qingshu's current cultivation, he could naturally hear that Li Wan's heartbeat was almost twice as fast as before. He couldn't help but be stunned. Had his charm really been cultivated to the point that he could take people's chastity from thousands of miles away? Even this beautiful widow who had lived in seclusion for a long time would be tempted?
However, he soon dispelled this idea in his mind. After all, he was not so narcissistic. He said, "Madam, Madam?"
"Ah …" Li Wan finally came to her senses. Although she didn't touch it, she still knew that her face was hot. She said, "Childe, why did you come to our mansion?" If it was before, it was already unprecedented for her to ask for his name. How could she ask about the visitor?
Song Qingshu told her his purpose of coming. Li Wan was moved. After all, the whole Lin 'an City knew that Yue Fei was wronged. However, she knew that as the daughter-in-law of the Jia Family, she couldn't easily express her opinion. So, she had to apologize and said, "I don't usually care about things. I can only wait for my father to come back."
Although she said this, she had a higher opinion of him in her heart. After all, everyone knew about Yue Fei's grievances, but after so many years, no one stood up to uphold justice for him. It was obvious that they were worried about offending the Emperor. However, Song QingShu stood up without any hesitation. This kind of spirit was already admirable.
"Well …" Song Qingshu had expected it and didn't take it seriously. He said, "Is Madam's husband the son of Jia Shumi?"
Li Wan nodded subconsciously. Thinking of her identity as a widow, she secretly sighed in her heart.
"Since Madam is a member of the Jia Family, what is Jia Shumi's attitude towards this matter?" Song Qingshu thought that since he had nothing to do here, he might as well beat around the bush to see if he could get any information from Li Wan. Even if he couldn't get anything, it was excellent to chat with such a beautiful young woman to kill time.
As expected, Li Wan still shook her head and said apologetically, "In the Jia Family, I always pay no attention to the outside world. I'm afraid I have to disappoint you."
Song Qingshu smiled slightly and said, "After all, Madam is the daughter-in-law of the Jia Family. Why do you make yourself like a monk? In the future, Madam can try to participate in the affairs of the Jia Family. Maybe your life will be more wonderful."
Li Wan thought that with Wang Xifeng's competitive character, there was no room for her to intervene in the affairs of the Jia Family. She didn't want to continue discussing this and hurriedly changed the topic, "Yesterday, I heard that you went to the sky to pray for rain. Can you tell me how you did it?"
Seeing that her eyes were more lively and energetic than usual, Song Qingshu secretly sighed that it was good to be like this. Her previous appearance of a walking corpse really made people feel sorry for her.
"Master?" Seeing that Song Qingshu didn't answer and kept staring at her, Li Wan was ashamed and annoyed. If she was stared at by a man like this on a normal day, she would immediately get up and leave. But today, she didn't know if she was curious about the answer or something else. She moved her body several times, but in the end, she couldn't make up her mind.
Song Qingshu finally reacted and said with a smile, "Didn't Madam just say that I am an immortal? It's normal for immortals to be able to summon wind and rain."
Seeing his teasing eyes, Li Wan's heart beat wildly again. But she also understood that the two of them met by chance and that he was not willing to tell the truth. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look gloomy.
Seeing that the hall had fallen into an awkward silence, a burst of laughter suddenly came from not far away, "So it's Prince Song coming. Sorry for making you wait."
