Hearing his words, Madam Ruan and Ren Yingying's faces changed, but Ren Yingying was behind Song Qingshu, so he couldn't see it.
"Where did you get the news?" Madam Ruan asked.
"It doesn't matter where I got the news. What matters is whether Madam can cope with the upcoming crisis." Song Qingshu put down the teacup and said lightly.
Madam Ruan was silent. The previous attack almost made Mirror Lake change owners. Moreover, after that attack, the strength of the guards was not as good as before. In the face of a stronger enemy, the result was obvious.
"I hope that Prince Song can lend a helping hand. Ruan family will repay you generously." After a long time, Madam Ruan looked at him with a face full of hope.
Song Qingshu replied calmly, "Why should I lend a helping hand?"
"Ah?" Madam Ruan was instantly dumbfounded. She opened her mouth wide and didn't know what to do for a while.
Song Qingshu frowned slightly. He felt that Madam Ruan didn't have her usual quick-wittedness and maturity today. This kind of reaction shouldn't appear on her.
Ren Yingying, who was on the side, helped him out, "Song Qingshu, Madam Ruan is so considerate to us. Why do you deliberately tease her like this?"
Song Qingshu was also depressed. Ren Yingying had ruined his show several times today. However, he had always pitied her. He only thought that she got along with Madam Ruan these days and the two of them developed a friendship.
"The friendship between women is really hard to understand." Song Qingshu shook his head secretly.
Madam Ruan got the hint and finally calmed down, "What orders do you have in the future? Please say it directly. Ruan family will definitely follow your lead."
"Follow my lead?" Song Qingshu chuckled but was not moved, "If these words were passed to Minister Han, it would be terrible."
As soon as these words came out, even Ren Yingying, who was on the side, suddenly changed color. Madam Ruan smiled embarrassedly, "What are you saying? I don't quite understand."
"Madam, there is no need to quibble. You are Minister Han's subordinate. This time, I sent you to Sichuan as a secret envoy to investigate and deal with Wu Xi's betrayal." Song Qingshu said slowly.
At this point, there was no point in denying it. Madam Ruan subconsciously looked at Ren Yingying and said, "I don't know how young master knew all this."
At this time, "Ren Yingying" was also very depressed. She had tried her best to get close to him without hesitation, but not only did she not find anything useful, but he had found out about her first. It was truly an unprecedented loss.
Song Qingshu smiled faintly. "It doesn't matter how you know all this. What matters is whether we are friends or foes."
At this time, Madam Ruan also smiled sweetly, "Since young master already knows our ins and outs, then dare I ask young master, are we enemies or friends?"
Song Qingshu looked her up and down as if he was admiring her graceful figure. Seeing that she was avoiding his gaze, he replied, "Friends. Of course we are friends."
He continued, "Since Madam is Minister Han's trusted aide, you are obviously not stupid. I estimate that during this period of time, you have already guessed our identity."
On the side, Ren Yingying nodded imperceptibly. Madam Ruan then said, "May I ask if young master is Prince Qi?"
"Since you know my identity, then you should know that I have a close personal relationship with Minister Han. We are naturally friends." Song Qingshu laughed.
Madam Ruan secretly curled her lips. Originally, they were indeed friends. However, some time ago, Golden Snake Camp's actions were strange, causing Han to suspect his intentions. They even suspected that the betrayal of Sichuan's Wu Xi was related to him.
However, she did not show it on her face. Instead, she smiled like a flower. "After all this time, it turns out to be Prince Qi. I have neglected you before."
"Madam is too polite." Song Qingshu also returned the courtesy.
Who knew that at this time, Madam Ruan suddenly opened her mouth. "I have a question to ask Prince Qi. I don't know if it is appropriate to ask."
In his heart, Song Qingshu ridiculed these ancient people. They obviously wanted to ask but deliberately said so. However, ridiculing was ridiculing. He could only follow these rules. "Madam, please ask."
Madam Ruan adjusted her expression and faintly looked at him. "I don't know why Prince Qi is going to Sichuan at this critical moment."
Song Qingshu thought that there was nothing shameful about it. He directly said, "I am going to see what happened to Wu Xi."
Hearing his blunt words, Madam Ruan and "Ren Yingying" were both shocked.
Song Qingshu pointed to his wife and said, "Madam has traveled extensively and is well-informed. You should know that Yingying and Wu Xi are old acquaintances. We all know his character. We know that he is not the kind of person who would betray his country for glory. Therefore, we want to see what happened to him."
Madam Ruan and Ren Yingying looked at each other. Obviously, they saw the shock in each other's eyes. They had been guessing the other's motives. They did not expect him to tell them so calmly.
"Let's not talk about other things first. Time is urgent. Why don't Madam first disguise as Bei Haishi." Song Qingshu calculated the time. The people sent on Friday would most likely arrive soon. He did not notice the two people's eye contact.
"Ah?" Madam Ruan was confused.
Song Qingshu explained the reason and then continued, "I have long heard that Madam Ruan is an expert in disguise. Today, you can show your skill to Song Mou. I wonder if it is possible?"
"This …" Madam Ruan looked at Ren Yingying with a guilty conscience.
"Ren Yingying" thought to herself that he really knew her very well. When she saw "Madam Ruan" looking over, she timely opened her mouth and said, "Madam need not worry. If time is tight, I can help from the side."
Song Qingshu was startled. He wondered how she would help. However, seeing her winking at him, he finally realized that she was going to be a spy to spy on the other side's disguise skills. This was just right. In the future, he could learn from her strong points to make up for his shortcomings.
Madam Ruan showed a face of embarrassment. Finally, as if she had made a difficult decision, she said, "Then … if that is the case, I will embarrass myself. Please leave."
Song Qingshu deliberately said, "Actually, I have long heard of Madam's miracles. I also want to see it with my own eyes."
Madam Ruan said, "Young master, please forgive me. This is our Ruan family's secret. Every generation, only the head of the family can learn …"
Ren Yingying also glared at him, "Disguise as Bei Haishi. A woman disguised as a man will have to change clothes later. Won't you damage the Madam's reputation by staying here?"
Song Qingshu only thought that his wife was giving him a way out. He did not think much of it, "If that is the case, I will go outside and wait for Madam." Anyway, Yingying was watching from the side. When the time came, she could come back and talk.
In the room, Madam Ruan took off the mask on her face. It was the real Madam Ruan's personal maid, Pei 'er. She lowered her voice and said to Ren Yingying, "Madam, since the other side is a friend and not an enemy, why don't we tell them frankly. Let Miss Ren out and apologize. I think they will not blame us."
"No!" Madam Ruan subconsciously rejected. Seeing the other's puzzled expression, she couldn't help but blush. She hurriedly explained, "Did you forget that night when Bei Haishi and his group offended Miss Ren? Did Song Qingshu fly into a rage? Miss Ren is clearly his reverse scale. If we tell the truth and he flies into a rage, who on our side can stop him? Everything will have to wait until after Sichuan and when we return to our territory. "
Pei 'er frowned, "But after these few days of contact, Prince Song is a modest gentleman. He should not harm us."
Madam Ruan's mind floated to the scene from a few nights ago. She thought to herself, "Who knows if what he said is true or not. What if he is lying to us? What if he is the mastermind behind Wu Xi's betrayal?"
"This …" Pei 'er also hesitated.
Madam Ruan continued, "The consequences cannot be predicted. It is better to be careful."
"But in this way, Madam will have to disguise as Miss Ren to accompany him?" Pei 'er widened her eyes and looked at her in shock.
Madam Ruan smiled bitterly, "I am also riding a tiger and cannot back down. I will take one step at a time."
Pei 'er's expression suddenly became strange, "I think Madam is not riding a tiger and cannot back down. Rather, you are enjoying it."
Madam Ruan's expression changed. She stretched out her hand to pinch her, "You damned girl, you even dare to make fun of me?"
Pei 'er dodged and smiled as she repeatedly begged for mercy, "Madam spare me, Madam spare me …"
"Sit properly, I will help you change your appearance!" Madam Ruan snorted. In her heart, she was somewhat at a loss. Just why did I make such a choice …
After a while, the two women opened the door. Song Qingshu was far away on the deck looking at the situation in the direction of Jiangling. Hearing the movement, he turned his head and could not help but reveal a surprised expression, "Madam really has a godly skill. You are exactly the same as Bei Haishi." He was praising her from the bottom of his heart. It must be known that he was also a master of disguise. Even though he knew that the other party had changed her appearance, he could not see a single flaw. It was truly a godly skill.
Hearing his praise, Ren Yingying, who was to the side, was secretly pleased. Pei 'er raised her chin and stroked her beard. Imitating Bei Haishi's voice, she said, "Prince Song, we meet again."
"Good, not bad!" Song Qingshu circled around her and nodded his head in satisfaction, "In a moment, you will go and receive the people that Friday sent and stabilize Jiangling. When we arrive, we will capture them all in one fell swoop."
At this time, Pei 'er followed the words that Madam Ruan had taught her and asked, "But with the current armed forces on the ship, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat so many experts from the Isle of Heroes. Even if Young Master were to make a move, with so many people, it is hard to guarantee that nothing will happen …"
Song Qingshu smiled, "You do not need to worry about this. I have my own plans."
Pei 'er was just about to continue asking when a sailor said, "There is a small boat coming this way."
"Madam, just follow our previous plan and send him away. Do not let him suspect anything. Do not be afraid, I will be nearby to receive you." Song Qingshu finished speaking and pulled Ren Yingying's hand to hide in the shadows around the corner.
Pei 'er could only swallow the questions in her stomach. She collected her emotions and walked to the front of the deck.
