Feeling the chill in the air, Shi Xiangyun's body trembled slightly. In fact, she regretted taking it off just now. After all, this kind of sacrifice was a bit big. However, the regret in her heart was quickly replaced by the great feeling of sacrificing herself to save her lover. Her eyes quickly became firm again.
Song Qingshu looked at everything in front of him indifferently. He did not stop her, nor did he feel uneasy. "What are you doing?"
She did not expect the other party to have such an indifferent reaction. She originally thought that the other party would put on the clothes for her like a gentleman. Even if he pounced on her full of lust, it would not be surprising. But what was with this reaction?
This was the first time she showed her body in front of a man. Shi Xiangyun's pretty face was already so red that water was about to seep out. She said with a trembling voice, "I know that with your current status, ordinary things are not worth your attention. After thinking about it, I can only use my most precious thing as a bargaining chip."
"Bargaining chip?" Song Qingshu chuckled. "This thing is indeed very precious to you, but it may not be that precious to me. I have never lacked women by my side, and there are many who are more beautiful than you. Why don't you tell me, why should I accept such a bargaining chip? "
Hearing his words, Shi Xiangyun was simply ashamed and indignant. In her mind, a dignified daughter of a noble family had made such a sacrifice. Shouldn't the man anxiously pounce on her? That way, she could take the opportunity to bargain with him and save her lover's life. Then, as long as she used it properly, she might even be able to keep her innocence …
However, the plot did not develop as she had planned. She was suddenly at a loss.
Feeling the confusion in her eyes, Song Qingshu secretly shook his head. After all, she was a flower in a greenhouse that had been carefully cared for since she was young. How could she have seen the ugliness and darkness of the world?
"Brother Wei Wei hurt you. Now that he has a chance to vent his anger on his fiancée, I think no man can refuse the pleasure of revenge." After the initial bewilderment, Shi Xiangyun gradually calmed down. After all, she was the daughter of a high-ranking official of the imperial court. Even if she had not eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. Although she had not seen many of the methods used by the higher-ups to kill people without spilling blood, it did not mean that she did not know anything about it.
Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows. He got up and walked in front of her. His fingers slid across her smooth and delicate chin. "I have to say, you've made me have a whole new level of respect for you. I thought you were just a spoiled rich young lady. I didn't expect you to have some intelligence."
Being touched by him, Shi Xiangyun felt disgusted and shy. She turned her face to the side, "Unless you promise to save Brother Wei, you are not allowed to touch me!"
After saying that, she picked up her clothes and put them on again. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking very alert.
Song Qingshu chuckled and did not do anything to provoke her. He sat back on the chair and scrutinized her with Wuji. "I'm suddenly curious. You're doing this to save your fiancé, but is your fiancé willing to see you save him like this?"
Shi Xiangyun's face paled. "It's better to be alive than dead."
"You sacrificed so much to save him. Do you think that after this, you can still be like before? Perhaps Wei Ruolan will choose to be with you out of gratitude and guilt. However, this matter will become a thorn between you two. Sooner or later, he won't be able to endure it. After all, there aren't many men in the world who can endure this kind of thing. "Song Qingshu continued to break down the defenses in her heart.
"Won't it be fine if he doesn't know about this matter?" Shi Xiangyun's tone was incomparably calm. It was as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"As expected of Shi Miyuan's daughter. Your decisiveness is truly admirable." Song Qingshu immediately changed the topic. "However, you said before that the only reason I accepted your bargaining chip was to take revenge on Wei Ruolan. If he doesn't know about this matter, where would I get the pleasure from taking revenge?"
Shi Xiangyun was startled. Then, a red line visibly rose from her neck to her face. She said shyly and angrily, "How can you be so shameless!"
After all, she was an inexperienced young girl. Although she had said something similar before, it was mainly to find a reason to convince the other party. She did not know that the other party really thought so.
"You're the one who suggested this. How is it that I'm the shameless one?" Song Qingshu sneered.
Shi Xiangyun snorted. She turned her face away and did not look at him anymore.
Song Qingshu smiled. "I have to say, your condition has successfully aroused my interest. I can consider helping you save Wei Ruolan."
"Really?" Shi Xiangyun felt extremely complicated at that moment. She thought about how she was about to lose something that she had kept for more than ten years. However, she was the one who suggested it.
"Of course it's true." Song Qingshu smiled faintly. "However, I have another condition."
"What condition?" Shi Xiangyun looked at him vigilantly.
Song Qingshu replied, "When I visited you before, you said that if I agreed to accompany you to the Beggar Clan, you would help me persuade your father to start the remonstrance. Now that I've accompanied you to the Beggar Clan, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
When Shi Xiangyun heard this, she was extremely annoyed. How could she have forgotten about this? If she had known about this earlier, she would not have used her innocence as a bargaining chip.
"Okay, you help me save Brother Wei, and I'll help you persuade my father." Shi Xiangyun said as she observed the reaction of the man in front of her.
Song Qingshu sneered. "Miss Shi, you're really naive. I already told you that condition was just an extra. Now you want to replace it with the bargaining chip that we discussed before?"
"Why not!" Shi Xiangyun plucked up her courage and said, "I have a favor to ask of you, and you have a favor to ask of me. We can cancel each other out."
Song Qingshu shook his head. "First of all, I don't need your father to start the remonstrance. Now that I have the help of the Beggar Clan, there will naturally be people who will impeach Moqi Zhao under the pressure of public opinion. Secondly, Wei Ruolan has cultivated Yin Zhen Qi. When he was seriously injured, he was hit by the Phantom Yin Finger. The cold air of the Phantom Yin Finger has penetrated deep into his bones. In the whole world, only I have the ability to save him, so you have to beg me."
"Lastly …" Song Qingshu dragged his tone. Seeing that Shi Xiangyun was confused, he continued, "Not only did you beg me to save Wei Ruolan, but you also asked me to hide our deal from him. These are two things, so of course you have to pay for them."
"You're a devil!" Shi Xiangyun pointed at him, trembling with anger.
