Wang Xifeng was still immersed in what had just happened and hadn't come back to her senses yet. Now that she suddenly heard a voice, she couldn't help but be startled. She looked back and found Jia Lian sitting on the bed with a gloomy face, looking at her.
Wang Xifeng snorted and asked, "Where were you just now?"
"Didn't I just find someone as promised?" Jia Lian noticed that there was a faint blush on Wang Xifeng's white and tender cheeks, and her eyes were full of blurriness. That kind of feeling made Jia Lian feel a little regretful. Was it really worth it?
"Promise?" Wang Xifeng sneered. "Did we make that promise? I'm afraid you didn't just go to find someone to deal with Jia Baoyu. You also wanted to ruin my reputation."
Jia Lian smiled embarrassedly and wanted to put his arm around his wife's shoulder. "How could that be? You think too much."
Wang Xifeng dodged and instantly exploded. "Why not? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I turned a blind eye when you and Second Sister You were fooling around. Now you want to get rid of me and help her get the position. Do you think I'm dead?"
Jia Lian felt a little guilty and subconsciously explained, "You misunderstood. I really didn't mean that."
"Okay, I have my own eyes! Go away, I don't want to see you now. "Wang Xifeng pointed to the door and ordered him to leave.
Jia Lian had no choice but to walk out. He originally wanted to ask where his wife and Jia Baoyu had gone, but he thought that she was angry, so he thought that he would ask her when she calmed down.
As for being kicked out of the room, he didn't care. He could go to Second Sister You and have some fun. Thinking of her gentle and gentle appearance, his lower abdomen was a little restless.
After Song Qingshu separated from Wang Xifeng, he decided to go to Li Mochou's place to see why she had suddenly become Miaoyu.
He had already found out where Miaoyu's master lived, and the Jia Mansion had specially prepared a courtyard for her, called the Black Jade Nunnery.
In the battle of WuTang Mountain, Jia Shidao and many of his direct subordinates had suffered heavy casualties. The Jia Mansion was no longer as strict as before. Song Qingshu easily avoided some patrolling guards and soon arrived at the Black Jade Nunnery.
Song Qingshu was going to return to his original appearance before going to find her. After all, it was inconvenient to expose his identity as Jia Baoyu.
Suddenly, a woman whispered in his ear. Although the voice was low, Song Qingshu still heard it clearly.
"That Bao Yu in your residence, just looking at him makes people angry, especially those shifty eyes. If I saw him in Jianghu before, I would have dug his eyeballs out." Li Mochou's cold voice was filled with killing intent.
"Song Qingshu" was, Song Qingshu held his breath and wondered.
"I just looked at you a few more times during dinner."
At this time, another gentle voice sounded, "Sister, don't mind him. That's just how he is. Whenever he sees a beautiful girl, he can't take his eyes off her. There are so many beauties in the Grand View Garden, so naturally, his standards are high. To be able to stare at you without blinking, doesn't that just prove how beautiful you are?"
Song Qingshu recognized the gentle woman's voice. It was the young widow, Li Wan.
"Humph!" Although Li Mochou didn't admit it, she obviously enjoyed it. Which woman didn't care about her appearance?
"Father's arrangement is also very thoughtful. I live in the Jia Mansion most of the time, and Third Sister is traveling in the Western Regions. There is no one in the mansion to talk to you. Father is a man, and he can't take care of you." Li Wan comforted her in a low voice.
Li Mochou snorted, "You don't have to speak up for him. In the end, it's just that he doesn't like my Jianghu habits. He wants me to come to the Grand View Garden and interact more with the other young ladies and noble ladies, so that I can learn from them."
Li Wan laughed awkwardly and said, "Father is the Chancellor of the Directorate after all. He teaches others. His own daughter should set an example."
Li Mochou's voice was a little angry and said, "Isn't he afraid that I will kill all the people who offend me in the mansion on a whim?"
Outside, Song Qingshu nodded in agreement. Li Mochou was a devil in Jianghu who killed without batting an eye. Sometimes, people were killed by her just because they were surnamed He. There were so many disputes in the Grand View Garden, and it was possible that old things would happen again.
"Sister, although you usually pretend to be fierce, you are still a good person. I guess you don't want to see father in a difficult situation …" Li Wan laughed. Behind her, the two women whispered in their ears. They were playing together, but they couldn't hear it clearly.
Song QingShu nodded his head, Li Mochou was originally a good girl, but because of Lu Zhanyuan's betrayal, she was pushed to the extreme. Now that she had returned to the embrace of her family, the warmth of family should be able to slowly heal her pain.
Now that he knew the whole story, Song Qingshu didn't go in to meet them again. After all, it was the middle of the night, and it was not convenient to go in and talk among the women in the boudoir.
As for why Li Mochou changed her name to Miaoyu, it must be because Li Shouzhong was worried that his daughter's reputation in Jianghu was too bad and would scare the people in the Jia Mansion. So he simply changed her name, which could be regarded as a farewell to the past and a new life.
He quietly returned to the Yihong Courtyard. Seeing that Xiren and the others didn't find anything unusual, he went to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, Xiren, Qingwen, and the other maids helped Song Qingshu to dress up, which gave Song Qingshu a headache. No matter how exquisite his disguise was, he would still show flaws when he washed his face. Fortunately, not long after, a servant came to report that the palace had come.
The imperial edict was issued.
Song Qingshu was delighted. He took the opportunity to grab the handkerchief and casually wipe his face. Then, he put on his clothes and walked to the main hall.
The content of the imperial edict was expected. The gist of the imperial edict was that the Xixia Country was about to select a bride. Some outstanding young masters of aristocratic families of suitable age were specially selected to go to the Xixia Country and encourage them to win glory for the country. It would be best if they could marry the princess. It was also an opportunity to strengthen the diplomatic relations with the Xixia Country, so that the Xixia Country would not be roped in by the enemy.
In addition to Jia Baoyu, the more important ones were Xue Pan of the Xue Family, Lu Shidao and Lu Shisheng of the Lu Family of Xiangyang, and so on. These were decided by Song Qingshu and Ren Yingying in secret.
With such an imperial edict, the whole Jia Mansion was naturally excited. Many people came to visit and congratulate Jia Baoyu. Ordinary people only thought it was a great honor. Only the mother of the Jia Family wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. In the end, she just told Jia Baoyu to take good care of herself and not to force herself.
After Lin Daiyu and the other girls heard the news, they all locked themselves in the courtyard. Anyone could see that they were in a bad mood, but no one wanted to get in trouble. Song Qingshu just happened to be free, so that these people close to Jia Baoyu wouldn't see through him.
In the evening, Liao Yingzhong found Song Qingshu and said, "Young Master, you just need to pretend this trip. Don't marry the princess of the Xixia Country."
"Oh, why?" Song Qingshu pretended to be surprised and asked.
Liao Yingzhong explained, "What's so good about a princess of the Nanman Kingdom? Even if she has the beauty of a fairy, it won't help you. The Xixia Country is too far away from the Great Song. If something really happens here, they can't do anything. It won't be as good as marrying the ladies of the Xue Family or the Shi Family, and it won't even be as good as the lady of the Lin Family. "
"Well, I see." Song Qingshu wasn't surprised. As the chief advisor of Jia Shidao, if Liao Yingzhong couldn't even see this, he shouldn't be in the position anymore.
"I don't know where the palace got the news. They all know that you just came back." Liao Yingzhong's eyes showed a trace of suspicion, but it was not the time to think about it. He quickly said, "In addition, I used my connections and arranged for the lady of the Xue Family to protect you all the way. You can take the opportunity to get close to her on the way."
"Xue Baochai?" Song Qingshu was stunned.
As if he saw his confusion, Liao Yingzhong explained, "This time, Lady Xue's brother is also one of the candidates. Otherwise, no matter how powerful I am, I wouldn't be able to invite the lady of the Xue Family."
Song Qingshu imitated Jia Baoyu's tone and said, "But if something really happens, Sister Baoyu will definitely protect her brother immediately. As for me …"
Liao Yingzhong stroked his beard and smiled. "Don't worry, Young Master. The lady of the Xue Family will only protect you in name. I just want to use this opportunity to matchmake the two of you. As for your real safety, there's someone else."
