Song Qingshu was dumbfounded. He never thought that this matter would spread. Those people talked about it as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Although many of the stories were not true, many of them were close to the truth. He didn't know if the other party was spreading rumors or if they really knew about him and Huang Rong.
"This is going to be troublesome." Song Qingshu was curious about how the other party would deal with him. He thought that contacting Shuang 'er to assassinate him was already the most exaggerated plan. He didn't expect that there would be something even more difficult to deal with.
Huang Rong had always had a good reputation in Jianghu. Although it was affected by Guo Jing's "usurpation", many people still loved and respected her.
In addition, the Southern Song Dynasty paid a lot of attention to etiquette and morality. If they attacked him from this angle, he really couldn't defend himself.
Public opinion couldn't be forcefully changed by force. It made it impossible for him to use his unparalleled martial arts. Moreover, after his reputation was ruined, it would be difficult for him to do anything in the future, just like Wu Sangui.
Hearing many of the surrounding tea guests talking about the romantic affair between the two of them, Song Qingshu's face was as black as charcoal. Sure enough, no matter which world it was, gossip was the most loved by the common people.
He didn't know how much pressure Rong 'er was under now. Also, what would Guo Jing's reaction be when he found out?
Thinking of this, Song Qingshu felt a headache. After entering the city, he thought about it and went to the Wang Family's mansion.
Because of the battle on Mount Wudang, the Wang Family was theoretically his ally. They were in the same boat. But he didn't understand why the Wang Family just watched the whole process when the Jia Family and Shi Family made things difficult.
After he was announced at the door, he was led in. As soon as he entered the study, several sharp swords stabbed at him.
Song Qingshu coldly snorted and waved his sleeve. The sharp swords in those people's hands were instantly broken. One by one, they fell to the wall as if they were hit in the chest.
"Wang Ziteng, is this how you treat your friends?" He stared coldly at the middle-aged man in the study.
Wang Ziteng's eyebrows jumped. He didn't expect that the carefully selected top masters would be so weak in front of him. His cultivation was now really unfathomable.
"You still have the nerve to come see me?" Wang Ziteng also snorted coldly.
Song Qingshu was stunned. Not only was the other party not guilty, but he was also very angry. What was going on?
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Wang Ziteng stood up. "Li Qingluo is the daughter-in-law of our Wang family. My younger brother was unlucky and died young, causing her to be a widow at a young age. But all of this is not a reason for you to make my younger brother a cuckold!"
"You know?" Song Qingshu was shocked. Now that it had come to this, he disdained to quibble. He was just shocked that the mastermind behind the scenes had investigated so thoroughly about him. He was really unscrupulous. "Humph, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Although our Wang Family isn't a great family, we can't tolerate such humiliation!" Wang Ziteng sneered.
Song Qingshu finally understood why the change in Lin 'an and why the Wang Family's attitude was so ambiguous. It turned out that the problem was here.
He replied unhurriedly, "Your thinking is really not in line with the identity of a patriarch of a big family. Compared with the rise and fall of the family, you should be clear about which is more important."
Wang Ziteng snorted. "I don't need you to teach me this. If it were another person, I would turn a blind eye, but Li Qingluo … humph, the basis of our previous alliance was the engagement between you and Yu Yan. Now in this situation, I know that you have been deceiving me all the time!"
Song QingShu finally understood everything that he could not understand before. It was no wonder that the Wang Family would sit on the sidelines. They no longer had the basis of an alliance with him. Instead, they had in-laws with the Jia Family and the Shi Family. The person hiding in the dark was indeed brilliant in taking drastic measures.
"You have nothing to say, right?" Wang Ziteng said in a low voice, "If you leave now, I can pretend that you have never been here. Otherwise, don't blame me for informing the Jia and Shi Families and using the power of the Front Palace Department."
Naturally, Song Qingshu didn't want to leave like this. If he did, he would completely lose the most advantageous alliance. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I still say the same thing. For the rise and fall of a big family, those rules of etiquette are nothing."
Wang Ziteng fell into silence. He knew that what Wang Ziteng said was also true. Those rules of etiquette were more likely to deceive ordinary people, but these nobles didn't take them seriously.
Years ago, a servant of the Jia Family scolded that in their whole family, only the pair of stone lions in front of the door was clean, and there were many dirty things inside.
In fact, not only the Jia Family, but all other families were like this.
Although the thing about Li Qingluo was difficult for ordinary people to accept, it was not a problem at all for big families. She had been a widow in her youth, and it was expected that she would find a man in these years.
Wang Ziteng wasn't angry because of this, but because of her relationship with Wang Yuyan. It should be known that Wang Yuyan was the foundation of the alliance between the Wang Family and Song Qingshu. Now, all of this no longer existed.
Song Qingshu thought quickly and quickly understood what Wang Ziteng was thinking. He answered, "The thing about me and Li Qingluo is at most a rumor. It is impossible for others to have proof. When the time comes, we just have to deny it. Also, the marriage with Wang Yuyan is still the same. Isn't it fine? "
Wang Ziteng was so angry that he laughed, "How can you say such shameless words so confidently?"
Song Qingshu said calmly, "You should know that although the Jia and Shi Families used to be glorious, they have already been greatly weakened. Also, this plot to usurp the throne will not end well. Even if they are lucky and succeed, your Wang Family will definitely be under them. How can your cooperation with them compare to cooperation with me?" "The reason why I arranged the marriage with Wang Yuyan was completely because of the situation at the WuTang Mountain. We were not familiar with each other and needed this to build trust and alliance. But some time ago, our two families worked together and are already familiar with each other. Whether we really need to marry her or not will not affect us at all. Of course, if you are still worried, I still agree to the marriage. If you think that Wang Yuyan's status is unacceptable, you can also find any daughter in the Wang Family. I have no problem with that, "Song Qingshu said in a low voice.
He couldn't help but sigh. Today, he was indeed much more 'mature' than before. He could use marriage as a bargaining chip without hesitation.
Sigh, was this the inevitable price of 'maturity'?
Wang Ziteng's expression changed. Clearly, he was also thinking about what Wang Ziteng had said. In fact, he was also not willing to cooperate with the Jia and Shi Families, so he had been watching from the sidelines. At the same time, he also knew that after the situation was settled, the Jia and Shi Families might not be able to tolerate him.
After understanding all these, he gradually calmed down and said, "Okay, but this time the matter is not simple. The whole thing is too strange. I suspect that there is someone behind the Jia and Shi Families. So before everything is clear, I can't let the Wang Family take the risk. As long as you have the ability to settle this matter, our previous alliance is still valid. During this period, I can even use the power of the Wang Family to help you. But all this is on the premise that I need to make sure that you have the upper hand this time. "
Song Qingshu nodded. He knew that these big families were very cunning and would not release the eagle without seeing the rabbit. But it was enough to make sure that the Wang Family would not help the Jia and Shi Families. Now that the other party agreed to help him at the right time, it was already beyond his expectation.
Wang Ziteng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Also, regarding the matter of the marriage alliance, there is no need to choose another daughter of the Wang Family. Let's choose Yuyan."
In his heart, he was clear that none of the ladies of the Wang Clan who were suitable for marriage could compare to Wang Yuyan, and Song QingShu was famous for having many beauties by his side. If an ordinary daughter of the Wang Clan was not favored by Song QingShu, it would instead be disadvantageous to the Wang Clan. Rather than that, he might as well be more generous and send the most outstanding one over. This way, the Wang Clan would be able to benefit the most in the future.
This time, it was Song Qingshu's turn to be shocked. "But her identity is a little troublesome."
Wang Ziteng's expression was as calm as still water. "You don't have to worry about that. I will take care of it myself."
