Song QingShu was stunned. He had been so focused on Li Wan that he didn't notice someone was outside. He looked over and saw a middle-aged man with a dignified aura standing outside. It was none other than Jia Shidao.
"Why are you here?" Jia Shidao was surprised to see Li Wan's face. Obviously, he hadn't expected to see her here.
Jia Shidao quickly glanced around the room. Seeing that there were no other women, he quickly regained his seriousness and snorted, "Why are you here?"
"I …" Li Wan couldn't say anything. She was a widow in the middle of the night in a young man's bedroom, and she was sweating all over. Who would believe her if she said she was here just to ask about her sister?
Jia Shidao glanced at her and noticed that his daughter-in-law's hair was messy, her clothes were messy, and her pale face was flushed. Jia Shidao's face immediately darkened.
Song Qingshu couldn't bear to see Li Wan so embarrassed, so he smiled and broke the awkward atmosphere in the room. "Prime Minister, why are you here so late at night?"
Jia Shidao walked in slowly and said to Li Wan, "Come in and close the door."
Li Wan had always been a little afraid of this eunuch, and she felt guilty at this moment, so she didn't dare to oppose him. She closed the door and stood aside. Her fingers hidden in her sleeves kept twisting the belt of her dress. She was very nervous.
Jia Shidao looked at Song Qingshu and said, "I treated my lord like an honored guest, but my lord bullied my daughter-in-law. That's not very nice."
Li Wan hurriedly explained, "Sir, we didn't …"
"Shut up. You have no right to speak here," Jia Shidao interrupted her and said coldly.
Li Wan bit her lips and felt so wronged that she was about to cry.
Song Qingshu frowned and said, "Prime Minister, why are you so angry at the young lady?"
"Oh, I didn't expect you to care about her so soon. I've heard that the King of Qi is surrounded by a group of women wherever he goes. You really live up to your reputation," Jia Shidao said in a deep voice. He couldn't hide his anger.
Song Qingshu shrugged. "I can't help it. That's how charming I am."
Li Wan was so anxious that she was about to cry. She thought to herself, "Why don't you explain the relationship between the two of us? Won't it make it more clear that there's something going on between the two of us?"
Jia Shidao was surprised by his reaction. "If what happened tonight spreads, I'm afraid King Qi's reputation will be ruined."
Song Qingshu smiled faintly. "In that case, wouldn't the Jia Clan be humiliated as well?"
Jia Shidao snorted and said, "We're just victims, and the world won't blame us too much. But the Lord is different. He's young and promising, and he has a bright future ahead of him. He also has a good reputation in the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid he'll become a pervert that everyone will curse."
Song Qingshu narrowed his eyes. "Prime Minister Jia, are you threatening me?"
"I wouldn't dare. I'm just telling the truth," Jia Shidao said indifferently.
Song Qingshu asked, "What is Prime Minister Jia planning to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. This is the end of it. You can go now." Jia Shidao waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
"You're just going to let it go?" Song QingShu was startled. He didn't expect that he would raise it up high and then put it down gently in the end. However, he immediately realized that the other party didn't use this matter to threaten him, but this matter had always been in his hands, as if it was a weakness that could be used against him. In this way, no matter what he did in the future, he wouldn't do anything against Jia Shidao.
Song Qingshu didn't do anything. Even if he did, he wouldn't let Jia Shidao pinch his nose like this. "Prime Minister Jia, you weren't very smart tonight."
Jia Shidao frowned and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Song Qingshu thought quickly and quickly organized what had happened that night. "First, Prime Minister Jia asked everyone in the house to drink with me, so that they could keep me in the backyard after they got me drunk. Then, they asked Young Mistress Rong of the Ningguo House to come over. Young Mistress Rong is more beautiful than a flower, and she is naturally charming. I don't think many drunk men can resist her charm, not to mention that she had a powerful aphrodisiac with her."
"Ah!" Li Wan exclaimed. She obviously thought of the towel that Qin Keqing had used to wipe her sweat.
Song Qingshu gave her a comforting look and continued, "Unfortunately, she didn't expect Young Mistress Zhu to be in the room. In a moment of desperation, she had an idea and drugged Young Mistress Zhu, so that she could complete the task for her."
If he hadn't experienced Qin Keqing's gentle trap as Wu Tiande, he wouldn't have known that Young Mistress Rong, who was beautiful in the eyes of others, was actually a high-level social butterfly in Jia Shidao's hands. She was used to seduce people at the most critical moment.
Song Qingshu didn't look down on Qin Keqing because of this, especially when he thought of her background. Instead, he felt sorry for her. She had been set up since her mother's generation, and he didn't expect that she still couldn't escape her fate.
Deep down, she must hate the people in the Jia House, so when she saw Li Wan, she asked her to replace him. She had always seduced Jia Shidao, and this time, she would let Jia Shidao have a taste of what it felt like to be seduced by his own daughter-in-law.
Song Qingshu finally looked at Jia Shidao and said, "In the end, when he thought it was about time, Prime Minister Jia showed up at the right time to catch me in the act. Since then, he has firmly grasped my weakness. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Jia didn't expect that it was his eldest son's daughter-in-law in the room, so he accidentally exposed himself when he opened the door."
Li Wan looked at her eunuch in disbelief and said, "Really … Is that true?"
Jia Shidao didn't pay attention to her. He only looked at Song Qingshu and said, "King Qi is really imaginative."
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "Prime Minister Jia, we are all smart people. Do you really have to pretend to be ignorant?"
Jia Shidao fell silent. After a long time, he said, "As far as I know, although King Qi and Han Jiefu are close, they are not life-and-death friends. From now on, as long as we let go of the past, the Song Family can absolutely be on the same level as Jia Shidao and Wang Xue, and become the fifth big family."
Song Qingshu smiled and said, "That sounds like a good suggestion."
Jia Shidao pointed at Li Wan and asked, "What do you think of her, Your Highness?"
Song Qingshu raised his eyebrows and said, "The young lady is chaste and indifferent, elegant and dignified. She is indeed a lady from a famous family."
Hearing his praise, Li Wan bit her lip. She was a little happy, but at the same time, she was more afraid. After all, it wasn't a good thing to be praised by another man in front of her eunuch.
"It's rare that Your Highness has a good impression of her." Jia Shidao nodded and said, "Wan 'er has had a hard time these years. She is still so young, and I don't want her to live like this for the rest of her life. Your Highness, you can come to the house to see her more often."
"Eunuch!" Li Wan was very angry, and her little face was as red as rouge. Although Jia Shidao's words were vague, everyone could understand that he was trying to match the two of them. No, it wasn't appropriate to say that they were a match. It was more like he was giving her to another man as a bargaining chip.
