"Pervert ~" Madam Ruan spat, but she was not really angry. "It's really inconvenient for me to be pregnant now. If I accidentally hurt the child, then everything I've done before will all be over."
Song Qingshu also knew the importance of this matter, so he had to suppress the fire in his heart. "Ah, okay, okay."
Feeling the disappointment in his tone, Madam Ruan asked, "Isn't there an outstanding beauty Shen Guniang who came with you? You can go find her."
Song Qingshu rolled his eyes. "We are pure friends. What are you thinking about?"
"So you haven't eaten yet," Madam Ruan laughed with some schadenfreude. "But looking at her, if you knock on her door in the middle of the night, I guarantee she won't refuse."
Song Qingshu thought, "Not only won't she refuse, we'll all sleep in the same bed. I don't want to take advantage of her, and her identity is a bit sensitive."
The reason why he resisted the temptation and didn't eat was mainly to deal with the aftermath. Firstly, Shen Bijun was related to his cooperation with Shen Xiaolong. Secondly, Shen Bijun was the Southern Song Dynasty's Crown Princess. Although the Southern Song Dynasty's royal family wanted to kill her, they still had to acknowledge her identity. If one day someone exposed the affair between Qi Wang and the Crown Princess, the impact would be great. Even if the royal family didn't want to pursue it, they would be kidnapped by public opinion to deal with him. At that time, the good relationship with the Southern Song Dynasty that he had built with great difficulty would be ruined.
Although Song Qingshu was somewhat lustful, he had the world in his heart. How could he destroy the foundation that he had built with so many people for a woman? Of course, if you asked him to completely give up Shen Bijun, he would certainly be reluctant. It was just that the time was not ripe yet.
Madam Ruan ran the world's largest royal merchant. Her mind was very good. She guessed most of his concerns and no longer tried to persuade him. "If that's the case, then I'll call Pei 'er to accompany you."
Pei 'er was her personal maid. She was beautiful and trustworthy. Calling her to accompany him was perfect.
Song Qingshu shook his head and refused. "No need. I'm not a beast. I don't need a woman to accompany me." He was worried about adding another layer of emotional debt. He wouldn't even touch a beauty like Shen Bijun, so how could he do anything to Pearl?
Madam Ruan rolled her eyes and the corner of her mouth slightly raised. She already had an idea in her heart.
At this moment, a servant came in to report that Shen Xiaolong had arrived. Soon, his hearty laughter could be heard. "Madam said that an old friend had come to visit, so I guessed that it was the Lord."
They hadn't seen each other for so long, but Shen Lian still addressed them as Lord. Song Qingshu and Ruan Furen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went forward to greet him, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, Lord Shen's complexion is getting better and better."
Shen Xiaolong said with a smile, "The traitor has been eliminated. Now that the world is bright and clear, I am naturally relaxed and happy. On the other hand, Lord looks worried. I wonder if she has encountered something troublesome. "
"It's all because I heard that the Mongolians won a great victory in the Western Expedition. Now that they have returned to the capital, it won't be long before they invade the south." Song Qingshu sighed.
Shen Xiaolong was also somewhat silent, "At that time, when the Mongolian cavalry invades the south, these countries in the Central Plains will fight on their own. They may not be able to stop them. I think it will be another calamity."
Madam Ruan, who was at the side, saw that the atmosphere was somewhat depressing. She smiled and changed the topic, "In any case, there are still a few countries in the north to hold them off. Let's talk about something happy. Lord Shen, this time the Lord has racked her brains and decided to give you a gift."
"A gift?" Shen Xiaolong was surprised.
"You will know when you see it." Madam Ruan pursed her lips and smiled. She then ordered a servant to invite Shen Bijun.
Not long after, Shen Bijun leisurely came in. Shen Xiaolong saw the peerless beauty enter the door. He was startled at first, then revealed a thoughtful expression. His voice was somewhat trembling, "Bijun … is that you?"
Seeing a relative, Shen Bijun was obviously also very excited, "Cousin … brother?"
Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh, "You two are really interesting. You haven't seen each other for more than ten years, yet you still recognize each other."
Shen Xiaolong also laughed, "Since childhood, Bijun has been so beautiful. When she grows up, she will obviously be a beauty that can cause the downfall of a city. At the same time, when I see her, there is a familiar feeling. If she isn't younger sister, who else could it be?"
Shen Bijun also nodded, "When I see her, there is a feeling of blood connection."
"Then it seems that there is no need for me to introduce her." Song Qingshu smiled.
Shen Xiaolong suddenly bowed to Song Qingshu, "Many thanks to the Lord for lending a helping hand, so that our Shen family's lineage has not ended."
Song Qingshu hurriedly helped him up, "We are all family, there is no need to be so polite."
Shen Xiaolong sighed, "Us brother and sister are indebted to the Lord for saving us. In this life, even if we work like an ox or horse, we will not be able to repay it."
Ruan Xingzhu, who was at the side, giggled, "There is nothing difficult to repay. I see that Miss Shen and the Lord are a perfect match."
Shen Xiaolong noticed the way his cousin was looking at Song Qingshu, and he understood most of it. He smiled, "Not bad, not bad. If Uncle knew that younger sister had found such a good husband in the afterlife, he would definitely be very happy."
Shen Bijun immediately blushed, and she couldn't help but say, "Brother ~"
Shen Xiaolong patted his chest, "As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Now that Uncle has passed away, as her elder brother, I naturally have to make the decision for my younger sister's marriage."
The reason why he followed Ruan Xingzhu's words and made the decision for this marriage was because he felt that his younger sister's family had died, and she had no one to rely on. She needed the protection of love to nourish her wounded heart. Song Qingshu, no matter how one looked at it, was a perfect match. The only flaw was that he had a lot of wives. However, for men like them, this was only a small matter and didn't matter much.
Secondly, he was also somewhat unsure about his cooperation with Song Qingshu. He had already completely abandoned the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty. If something went wrong with his cooperation with Song Qingshu, it would be difficult for him to move forward. If he could solidify their relationship through marriage, why wouldn't he do it?
Of course, all of this was built on the basis that Shen Bijun was willing. If it wasn't for her loving eyes, Shen Xiaolong wouldn't have made such a proposal.
Although Song Qingshu had some misgivings about Shen Bijun's sensitive identity, now that things had come to this, if he refused, it would be easy to hurt her face. Thus, he smiled and replied, "If Bijun doesn't mind, then let me take care of her for the rest of her life."
Shen Bijun bit her lip, her heart in a mess. She had her own pride. Originally, she didn't want to marry Song Qingshu, who had so many confidantes. However, during this period of time, their relationship had taken another step forward. She really couldn't imagine marrying someone else.
A woman's modesty made her subconsciously want to refuse, but she was also worried that if she missed this opportunity, she would miss out on the rest of her life. In a daze, she replied, "Everything is up to big brother."
"That's good. How about we hold a wedding banquet here today and consummate our marriage?" Ruan Xingzhu teased.
