"Sister Ruan ~" Shen Bijun stomped her feet. She wanted to run, but she didn't know where to go.
Shen Xiaolong smiled and said, "But Bijun's identity is a problem. If the Southern Song court hears about this, it will be troublesome."
Song Qingshu was startled. He didn't expect Shen Xiaolong to realize this as well.
Noticing his expression, Shen Xiaolong said, "It wasn't easy for our Shen family to have a crown princess. How could I not know about such a big thing? It's just that all sorts of things happened, causing my poor sister's life to be filled with misfortune."
Ruan Xingzhu comforted, "Sister Shen's suffering is over. She found a good lover like Lord. She can't be the crown princess, but your Shen family has a princess."
"It's not a princess." Shen Xiaolong shook his head, causing Ruan Xingzhu's heart to skip a beat. After all, she had deliberately avoided the fact that Song Qingshu already had a wife. Hearing him say this, did he mind? She was a married woman and naturally didn't care about such things, but the young miss of the Shen family was pure and had higher standards.
Shen Xiaolong looked at Song Qingshu and slowly said, "I feel that our Shen family will have an imperial concubine in the future."
Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows. "Thank you for your auspicious words. If I can unify the world one day, I will definitely make your sister an imperial concubine."
Shen Xiaolong laughed. "That's great. Uncle and Aunt's spirits in heaven must be able to rest in peace. I will also follow Lord and become a founding general. When the time comes, I will bring glory to our Shen family."
The two men clasped their hands tightly. This moment was a marriage alliance and also a vow for the future.
Next, Ruan Xingzhu found someone to prepare a table full of food and wine. Wine could make the atmosphere more lively and was the best weapon to get closer to each other.
Song QingShu and Shen Xiaolong quickly discussed how to deal with the sensitive status of the Crown Princess. They would first hide it from the Southern Song as much as possible, and when they were fully fledged, they would hold a grand wedding for Shen Bijun.
Shen Bijun's face was red the entire time. The knot in her heart had been unraveled, and she felt like she was in a dream. She naturally did whatever they said. Moreover, she didn't have the face to say anything at this time.
Hearing that she wanted to go back to Shaoxing to pay respects to her parents, Shen Xiaolong choked with sobs and said, "I also want to go back with you to see the Shen garden, but I really can't leave here. The Southern Song court has no choice but to allow me to stay in Sichuan. If I leave their headquarters, they will definitely take the opportunity to replace me. Based on their bottomless style, they might even send someone to get rid of me to prevent future troubles."
Shen Bijun replied, "Big brother, you have to be careful. When I was in Liao, the Imperial City Department's people wanted to kill me. I don't want you to repeat the same mistake."
"None of the people with the surname Zhao are good people!" Shen Xiaolong cursed, especially when he thought of how the Shen family had been loyal and devoted for generations, only to end up with such a miserable ending. The more he thought about it, the more furious he became.
Ruan Xingzhu was also reminded of something sad. "Didn't Prime Minister Han also work hard for the court? In the end, he didn't die in the hands of the Jins, but was killed by his own people. Not only did the emperor not care, but he also promoted the mastermind to replace Prime Minister Han."
"My poor husband also worked hard for the country, but because he wasn't Jia Shidao's man, he was also killed by his own people. Has the court ever done justice for them?"
Seeing that she was getting more and more sad, Song Qingshu hurriedly comforted her, "Madam, please take care of yourself. Don't hurt the baby."
Ruan Xingzhu smiled sweetly. Her eyes were filled with tears, but her face was very charming. "Fortunately, I met Young Master who did justice for me. This cup is for you."
Song Qingshu hesitated and said, "You are also pregnant …"
Ruan Xingzhu smiled and said, "This cup is specially prepared for me. It's fine."
Only then did Song Qingshu clinked his cup with hers and drank the strong liquor in his cup. "Prime Minister Han and I are also friends. He fell into such a situation, which made me feel a little disappointed. Don't worry, I will definitely give him justice in the future!"
Shen Xiaolong, who was on the side, saw every move of the two. He was not a fool. How could he not see the ambiguous relationship between the two? Moreover, there were many rumors about the child in Madam Ruan's belly. Now, he suddenly understood.
However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he was a little relieved. After all, he was a little worried about whether Madam Ruan would betray him or not. Now that everyone had a tacit understanding, their relationship was more stable.
Hearing Madam Ruan's words, Shen Xiaolong gradually recalled something sad. "Our Shen family has been miserable. Originally, I wanted to send troops to Jiangnan to seek justice from the emperor. Unfortunately, I know that with my strength, I can't fight to Jiangnan. So, I need the help of my lord to redress the injustice of dozens of people in the Shen family."
Song Qingshu sternly said, "Brother Shen, please rest assured. Now that I am the son-in-law of the Shen family, the Shen family's matter is my matter. Naturally, I am duty-bound."
These words made Shen Xiaolong laugh. "How could I forget this? Speaking of which, I am still your brother-in-law."
Song Qingshu raised his cup of wine and said with a smile, "A toast to brother-in-law."
Hearing this form of address, Shen Xiaolong laughed until the eyebrows and beard on his face were almost squeezed together. "This cup must be drunk. Hahaha."
The two quickly drank several cups of wine. Song Qingshu took advantage of a gap and quietly pulled Shen Bijun's hand beside him. "Are you relieved now?"
"Yes ~" Shen Bijun subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand. Unfortunately, she didn't succeed even after several attempts. Worried that the movement would be too big and attract other people's attention, she blushed and let him hold her hand.
"Do you feel that you were very stupid before?" Song Qingshu asked with a smile.
"Yes?" Shen Bijun didn't understand.
"That night …" Song Qingshu smiled a little strangely.
"Don't bring it up!" Shen Bijun was embarrassed. She wanted nothing more than to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it. Now that she thought about it, she didn't understand why she had done such an absurd thing. She had always been a well-behaved young miss, but now she had taken the initiative to undress in front of a man. She felt that she must have been possessed.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xiaolong heard the commotion and asked curiously.
"N-nothing." Shen Bijun's face was completely red. She was too embarrassed to even tell her biological parents about this, so how could she tell her brother?
Song Qingshu explained, "I'm just asking her if she wants to have boys or girls in the future."
Shen Bijun's heart jumped, and her face became even redder. She couldn't help but pout, "Big Brother Song ~"
Shen Xiaolong laughed when he heard this. "What's there to hesitate about? Just give birth to seven or eight children. If you give birth to a few boys and girls, you won't have to worry about choosing."
Shen Bijun finally couldn't take it anymore. "Big Brother! I'm not a pig! "
Ruan Xingzhu was the one who helped her out. "Don't scare the little girl. With Little Sister Shen's delicate body, wouldn't it kill her to give birth to seven or eight children?"
Shen Bijun snorted. "Big Sister Ruan, you're making fun of me too!"
"Alright, alright. The men should go drink. Let's have some intimate talk." Ruan Xingzhu pulled her to the side, and the two women began to whisper.
Song Qingshu and Shen Xiaolong continued to drink with each other. They were getting more and more excited. One had experienced the baptism of high-purity alcohol in the future, while the other was half jianghu and half military. Both of them were good at drinking, so they were truly evenly matched.
Song Qingshu didn't use his power to dispel the alcohol. That would be cheating. He was using his own alcohol tolerance to drink with him. If he couldn't get drunk every time, then drinking would be too boring.
In the end, Ruan Xingzhu looked at the two men who were lying on the table and muttering to themselves. "Drink, drink, drink. Are you drunk to this extent?"
"Nothing will happen to them, right?" Shen Bijun looked worriedly at the two of them. One was her only family, and the other was her future husband. She didn't want any harm to come to either of them.
Ruan Xingzhu was an experienced person, so she had a lot of experience in this area. "Don't worry, they'll be fine after some sleep." She then called over a few servants to bring Shen Xiaolong to his room to rest. When it was Song Qingshu's turn, she felt a bit awkward.
She originally wanted to take care of him herself, but in front of Shen Bijun, a married woman like her was too embarrassed to say it out loud. In addition, she was pregnant, so she was very tired after enduring so late. She decided to hand him over to the other party. "Little Sister Shen, I'll send someone to keep an eye on General Shen. I'll leave Prince Song to you."
"Me?" Shen Bijun was a bit flustered. Since she was going to take care of him, she clearly had to stay by his side for the entire night. Although the two of them had just gotten married, they weren't married yet. This was a bit inappropriate.
Of course, this was also because they were in front of other people. If it was just the two of them, Shen Bijun wouldn't care about this. It was just that there were other people present, and the education she had received since she was young made her feel a bit embarrassed.
Ruan Xingzhu moved closer to her ear and whispered, "Prince Song is a bit dishonest when he's drunk. If I send a few maids to serve him, I'm worried that he'll carelessly bully those maids when he's drunk. He doesn't want to carry too many debts of love. When he wakes up tomorrow, he'll definitely regret it. But with his sense of responsibility, he won't be irresponsible … Little Sister, you probably don't want to see him so distressed, right? "
Shen Bijun thought that Song Qingshu wasn't just dishonest when he was drunk, he was also dishonest when he slept. Hearing her words, she really didn't want to see her lover sleep with another woman right after they were engaged.
But what if he bullied her at night?
As if she had seen through her apprehension, Ruan Xingzhu said meaningfully, "As your elder sister, let me tell you something. Sometimes, it's better for a woman to take the initiative. There are many outstanding women around him. If you don't grasp the opportunity, you'll definitely regret it in the future.
Madam Ruan was a businesswoman. The concept of making good connections was deeply imprinted in her bones. Although she didn't want to fight for status, it would definitely be good to get close to some people as much as possible in the future. Moreover, she and Shen Xiaolong were both in Sichuan. Shen Bijun was naturally her ally, so she deliberately reminded her.
"Thank you, Sister." Shen Bijun wasn't stupid. She naturally heard the kindness in her words. Since it was like this, she naturally couldn't refuse and could only endure her shyness and agree.
Seeing this, Madam Ruan smiled and said, "Little Sister, you're also travel-worn today. I'm afraid you're a bit tired. Later, I'll send someone to prepare a bucket of hot water for you to take a good bath."
Shen Bijun's expression was strange. She thought, I want to take care of Brother Song, but you want me to take a bath in the same room …
