Wei Ruolan did not answer. Instead, she kept looking behind him but did not see that beautiful figure. She could not help but ask, "Why didn't she come back?"
"Her?" Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face. He smiled and answered, "She wasn't feeling well, so she went back to sleep."
She was fine just a moment ago, but she felt unwell after going out for a while. Then, she got a chance to be forgiven … Wei Ruolan was not stupid. She naturally thought of something and her expression changed instantly.
As if he had guessed what she was thinking, Song Qingshu deliberately said in an ambiguous tone, "You're a smart person. You can guess some things even without me telling you. Speaking of which, I admire you a little."
"Admire me for what?" Wei Ruolan tried hard to restrain herself so that her reaction would be more normal.
"I admire you for making the dignified Shi family's eldest daughter fall in love with you." Song Qingshu clicked his tongue in wonder. "She was actually willing to make such a big sacrifice for you. Many couples in this world might not necessarily be able to do this."
Wei Ruolan was not happy at all when she heard his praise. She was extremely angry and her eyes had turned red.
"Are you angry now?" Song Qingshu did not wait for her to answer and said, "That's right. My fiancée was done by another man. Naturally, I would be angry."
Wei Ruolan's eyes were red but she could not speak at that moment. All that was left was a gurgling sound in her throat.
"Actually, what you should be feeling right now is not anger but regret. Regret that you were blinded by greed and regret that you shouldn't have gone against me." Song Qingshu's voice turned cold.
"Shouldn't I have gone against you?" Wei Ruolan muttered to herself. She could not help but think that if she had not schemed against him in the beginning, she would not have fallen to such a state.
Song Qingshu's pitch-black eyes became incomparably deep. Looking at the other's dazed expression, the corners of his lips curled up slightly as he slowly said, "Because of your actions, your life is hanging by a thread. You even had to rely on your fiancée to sell her body to obtain the qualifications to live. Remember what happened today. No matter what you do in the future, you will always be a complete failure in front of me."
"Loser, I'm a loser …" Wei Ruolan appeared to be a very determined person from all aspects, but after experiencing great joy and sorrow today, and then being stimulated by Song Qingshu using Shi Xiangyun in various ways, cracks would appear in her heart no matter how strong she was. At this moment, the word 'loser' kept reverberating in her mind. She looked as if she had lost her soul, as if she had lost her parents.
Song Qingshu had been waiting for this opportunity. He took the opportunity to leave a mark in the depths of the other party's heart that they did not dare to make an enemy out of him.
Of course, it was not that he did not want to make Wei Ruolan his slave, but he could not do it. For such a person with a strong will and a high cultivation base, even if he broke through the defense of her heart, he could not leave a mark on her as he pleased. He could only take advantage of the situation and go with the flow.
After all, the effort to become another person was definitely unacceptable to such a talented and arrogant young man. However, not daring to make an enemy out of him was in line with his inner thoughts to a certain extent.
Generally speaking, a man's first reaction when his wife was stolen would definitely be to take revenge. However, if the enemy was so strong that he could never reach in his lifetime, that man would rationally give up his hatred and even cheer for the other party.
There were many such cases in history. For example, Ming Wu Zong, Zhu Houzhao, called the wife of a minister to spend the night in the palace, and the minister did not even dare to fart. The Northern Song Zhenzong's Empress, Liu E, was the wife of a silversmith in Sichuan in her early years. Later, after entering the palace, she was limited by the lack of foundation and helpers, so she called her ex-husband into the palace to serve as the emperor's imperial bodyguard. In the end, that silversmith did not have any hatred for his wife, and loyally guarded his wife's current husband throughout his life.
Why would such a thing happen that defied common sense? There was no other reason than the huge difference in strength between the two parties. Although women were important to a man, they were not necessarily the most important.
Seeing Wei Ruolan's dazed expression, Song Qingshu knew that his plan had succeeded. Naturally, he had no interest in staying here to talk nonsense with her, so he directly left the room.
Meanwhile, Shi Xiangyun was waiting for him in another room. Seeing him enter, she hurriedly stood up, "How is Brother Wei?"
"Don't worry, he won't die." Song Qingshu had just healed him. Although he was interrupted by Wei Ruolan's Northern Underworld Divine Art, he had already successfully dispelled most of the cold poison in his body. Although he had not fully recovered, his life was no longer in danger.
"Then, when can we leave?" Hearing that her lover was safe, Shi Xiangyun secretly let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked.
"You can leave at any time," Shi Xiangyun did not have the time to rejoice. Song QingShu's next sentence made her stunned on the spot, "But when did I say that Wei Ruolan could leave?"
Shi Xiangyun subconsciously replied, "Didn't you promise me before?"
"I only promised to save him, I did not promise to let him go." Song Qingshu smiled like an old fox.
"You!" Shi Xiangyun immediately realized that she had fallen into a verbal trap.
"After you persuade your father to launch the censure according to the agreement, I will naturally let him go." Song Qingshu did not want to overstimulate him and cause him to have any reverse psychology, so he immediately said, "Actually, you don't have to overreact. If I let him go now, it would be harming him."
As expected, Shi Xiangyun's attention was diverted, "What do you mean?"
"Didn't I say it before? When I was healing him, he used Northern Underworld Qi to harm me, causing the treatment to be interrupted. The cold air flowed back into his internal organs, so I need some time to completely heal him." Song Qingshu's skill in deceiving people had reached perfection. When he spoke, his face was serious, and his heart did not beat fast.
"So that's how it is." Shi Xiangyun knew that what had just happened was not related to him.
"If you are worried, you can continue to stay here to accompany him." Song Qingshu suddenly laughed.
"I don't want to!" Shi Xiangyun subconsciously exclaimed.
"I'm afraid that Wei Ruolan will be sad if she hears this." Song Qingshu said with a faint smile.
"I'll go back first." Shi Xiangyun blushed. Of course, it was not that she did not want to accompany Wei Ruolan, but she was embarrassed to admit that she was recalling the soul-stirring scene just now. She was afraid that something would really happen between her and Song Qingshu if she stayed. Moreover, after going through that torment just now, her whole body was sticky with sweat. For a woman, this was really terrible. At this moment, she just wanted to go home and take a good bath.
Before leaving, Shi Xiangyun suddenly turned her head, "Just now when you called me out, you just sat quietly facing each other for half an hour. What do you mean by that?"
Song Qingshu smiled, as if he had no intention of hiding it, "Of course it's to make your fiancé misunderstand that we are doing something indescribable."
