"Don't!" Wanyan Ge Bi grabbed her and said in an almost pleading tone.
"Jiejie, you can't let him bully you like this." Wanyan Ping said angrily.
Wanyan Ge Bi shook her head. "He almost lost his life this time and is seriously injured. After experiencing life and death, it's normal for him to have a bad temper."
"I really have to give it to you." Wanyan Ping stomped her feet angrily. "You'll spoil a man's temper like this. They'll only bully you even more in the future."
Wanyan Ge Bi couldn't help but laugh through her tears. "Ping 'er, you're clearly just a virgin girl, but you speak as if you know men very well. Don't worry, I know your brother-in-law. He's not the kind of person you say he is. When you meet a man who truly loves you, you'll understand what I'm doing. For the person I love, what's a little grievance? "
Hearing her sister mention a man she loved, Tang Kuo Bian's face appeared in Wanyan Ping's mind. She jumped in fright and said guiltily, "Hmph, I don't like those stinky men. I want to be with jiejie forever."
Wanyan Ge Bi couldn't help but smile. She reached out and poked her sister's forehead. "You, you have a childish temper."
Wanyan Ping didn't let this go. She reached out and tickled her sister. Laughter like silver bells rang out in the waterside pavilion. After the two sisters played around for a while, they took a walk in the garden.
"Ping 'er, go talk to your brother-in-law. He's not in a good mood. Go walk around and help him recover from his depression." Wanyan Ge Bi said with a smile.
Wanyan Ping's heart jumped. She thought her sister had discovered something. She looked at her guiltily. "Uh, why don't you go yourself? Why do you have to find me … "
Wanyan Ge Bi's lips curled up, revealing a mischievous smile. "Hmph, didn't you say it? Even though I don't blame him, I have to put on a show. Otherwise, he'll be too proud. But I can't let him be depressed like this. You're my good sister. If I don't find you, who else can I find?"
"Then … okay. But let me say this first. I won't be as gentle as you to brother-in-law." Wanyan Ping cracked her whip and pretended to have a vicious expression.
"Okay, okay. Go see your brother-in-law now. I'm still worried about him." Wanyan Ge Bi smiled and pushed her sister towards Song Qingshu's residence.
"I'm scared of you. I'll go, okay." Wanyan Ping muttered and left reluctantly.
Looking at his sister's back as she left, Wanyan Ge Bi smiled. This sister of his had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although she usually had a fierce and overbearing appearance, her heart was probably even weaker than his, her sister's.
… …
After Song Qingshu purposely drove Wanyan Ge Bi away, his thoughts were a mess. After a long time, he reconsidered the problem of how to save Song YuanQiao and the others. Even though the Laundry Yard was heavily guarded, that wasn't the biggest problem. The biggest problem was that Song YuanQiao and the others had been poisoned by Rouge Drunk. They had lost all their martial arts. Even if he could save them from the Laundry Yard, he wouldn't be able to take them out of the palace.
Therefore, the most important thing was to find the antidote to Rouge Drunk. But Song Qingshu hadn't even seen the poison of Rouge Drunk. Where would he find the antidote? After thinking about it, the only way to break through was Wanyan Ping. From last night's situation, Wanyan Ping's status in the Laundry Yard was not low.
It was very possible that there was an antidote to Rouge Drunk.
Speak of the devil. As Song Qingshu was thinking about how to break through with Wanyan Ping, there was a knock on the door. He raised his head and saw Wanyan Ping standing at the door.
"Brother-in-law, can I come in?"
Song Qingshu wanted to get the antidote from her. How could he refuse to interact with her? He was overjoyed. "Come in, come in!"
Wanyan Ping's cheeks blushed. "Hmph. You look so happy. You're not as depressed as my sister said."
Song Qingshu smiled wryly. "You saw your sister?"
"Yes." Wanyan Ping walked over and pulled a stool over to sit by the bed. "She was so angry with you that she cried."
Song Qingshu sighed. "I don't know what happened. I just lost control of myself." Tang Kuo Bian and Wanyan Ge Bi were very affectionate. They had probably only quarreled a few times. Now that he was deliberately distancing himself from her, he had to find a reason.
Wanyan Ping showed an expression as if she had expected it. She accepted his explanation. "Looks like Brother-in-law must have encountered many interesting things in Kaifeng. Tell me about them."
Seeing her gossipy expression, Song QingShu was speechless. "Hey, hey, hey, isn't your behavior a little too disappointing? I almost died in Kaifeng."
"I'm not dead yet." Wanyan Ping showed a disapproving expression. Seeing Song Qingshu's angry expression, she giggled. "Okay, okay. I'm just angry that you bullied my sister. I purposely made you angry."
"Uh." Looking at the young girl in front of him, Song Qingshu found it hard to really get angry. "Okay. What do you want to know?"
"Pick the most shocking ones. For example, how you were captured by that Song Dynasty woman called Huang Rong. What did you face during that time?" Wanyan Ping looked at him expectantly. She was like a child waiting for her parent to tell her story.
Song QingShu had already anticipated these questions and had prepared them flawlessly. He spoke tirelessly, purposely exaggerating some of the details, causing Wanyan Ping to occasionally cry out in surprise.
"Luckily, that woman called Huang Rong kept her word and let you go in the end. Otherwise, I would …" Wanyan Ping patted her chest and said hatefully. She didn't know why, but she suddenly stopped talking.
Song Qingshu was startled. He asked, "You would what?"
Wanyan Ping puffed out her chest. "I would personally lead the army south and attack Xiangyang. I would capture that woman and throw her into the laundry yard. I would avenge you." Noticing Song Qingshu's shocked expression, her face reddened. She quickly added, "Don't think too much. I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for my sister."
Song QingShu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not delusional enough to think that our family's proud little princess will fly into a rage for the sake of her husband."
"What do you mean by 'my sister'?" Wanyan Ping was startled.
"Wu Sangui did anything for Chen Yuanyuan. I'm not a woman, so of course I'm 'my sister'." Song Qingshu explained.
Wanyan Ping suddenly stood up, her face instantly turning red, "What nonsense. With your looks, not to mention Pan An and Song Yu, there are plenty of nobles who are more handsome than you. What kind of face are you?"
Song Qingshu's expression darkened. "So in Ping 'er's eyes, brother-in-law is more handsome than you.
So that's how you are. "
Wanyan Ping immediately panicked. She stammered, "Actually … actually, you aren't that bad. Even though you're a bit ugly, you can barely … barely be considered handsome."
Last night, Song Qingshu saw how decisive and decisive she was in the palace. Who knew that he would see her as a little girl today? This change was too big and shocked him. But in addition to the shock, he slowly realized something. After all, he had a lot of experience in relationships now. From Wanyan Ping's words and actions, he could sense that she seemed to have a strange feeling for Tang Kuo Bian. But because of morals and ethics, or because of a young girl's naivety, she didn't know her own heart.
"Could this Tang Kuo Bian really be the reincarnation of Pan An? He has such a perfect wife like Wanyan Ge Bi, and he's unknowingly moved his sister-in-law's heart …" Song Qingshu clicked his tongue. In order to save Song YuanQiao and the others, he had to guide Wanyan Ping's feelings …
"Isn't it too shameless of me to do this?" At the last moment, Song QingShu was hesitant. "Sigh, maybe I'm not evil enough …"
"Hey, I've already apologized. Brother-in-law, you shouldn't be this weak, right?" Seeing that Song Qingshu's expression was dark and he didn't say anything, Wanyan Ping was dumbfounded.
"No, I was just suddenly thinking about the laundry brothel you mentioned." Song Qingshu came back to his senses and casually changed the topic to the laundry brothel.
"Hmph, that place is the most suitable for controlling those arrogant Song women!" Wanyan Ping said in a vague tone. She didn't seem to have any intention of continuing on this topic. Instead, she returned to the other details of his trip to Kaifeng.
Song Qingshu's heart suddenly froze. He looked at her with confusion. "Why are you asking in such detail? It's like you're interrogating me. "
Wanyan Ping had an awkward expression. "I knew I couldn't fool Brother-in-law. In fact, Brother Emperor understands that you're injured and allowed you to not go to the Shangshu Department to report. However, we still need to find out more about the matter of Kaifeng. We can't just listen to the Hailing King's words, so I volunteered to take this task."
"So it's like that …" Song Qingshu let out a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't purposely targeting him, it was fine. Then, he began to chat with her as if they were just chatting.
However, in order to increase the chances of interacting with Wanyan Ping, Song Qingshu would always deliberately leave some details out of his answers. He did this so that she would ask him a few more times in the future. Although Wanyan Ping was faintly aware of this, she still pretended that she didn't know anything. She only thought that he wanted to get closer to her. Her heart jumped with excitement. However, this thought was quickly suppressed by her rationality. She quickly used her older sister to tell her brother-in-law to convince herself.
Over the next few days, because of Song Qingshu's deliberate actions, he became more and more distant from Wanyan Ge Bi, his real wife. He didn't speak much every day. Instead, he chatted happily with his sister-in-law, Wanyan Ge Bi, whenever he had time. Regarding this, Wanyan Ge Bi was both happy and sad …
Early in the morning, Wanyan Ping happily ran over to find Song Qingshu. Her trousers were all tucked into her small boots, outlining her long and slender legs. She wore a small leather armor on her chest that matched with a belt around her waist, making her look even more slender. A young and energetic girl stood in front of him. "Brother-in-law, don't learn from those Han people. It's too slow to stay in the house all day to heal. Us Female Zhenrens should recover on horseback. Let's go, I'll take you to the suburbs east of the city to hunt."
