"A charming widow living alone with a ridiculously beautiful daughter. Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder how many men would be jealous …" Although Song Qingshu had never seen her mother, with Ge Bi as a comparison, since she was known as the number one beauty of the Jin Kingdom in the past, she must be a beauty that could bring disaster to the country and its people.
"I've actually wanted to visit auntie for a long time, but I never had the chance. Today, I happened to run into Brother Wei Wang, so I came along." Zhong Jie smiled sweetly, but her eyes glanced at Song Qingshu intentionally or unintentionally.
Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel strange. Why did this girl keep staring at him? When he thought of that strange feeling of déjà vu, he became even more puzzled.
Ge Bi pulled Chong Jie to sit down. Hearing her say this, she casually asked, "Chong Jie, do you know why Prince of Wei is here?" She couldn't help but be curious. After all, Wei Wang rarely came to her place these past few years. This time, he must have come for a reason.
"Zhong Jie, I don't dare." The girl looked at her hesitantly.
Ge Bi was slightly startled. "We're all family, why wouldn't I dare?"
"I'm afraid that auntie will be unhappy if I come out." The girl's big eyes blinked, like a delicate porcelain doll sitting there. However, Song Qingshu keenly noticed a trace of slyness in the depths of her eyes.
"Alright, auntie promises that she won't be unhappy." Ge Bi's interest was indeed aroused.
"Actually, it's like this …" The girl paused and looked at Song Qingshu before continuing, "Brother Wei Wang can't bear to see auntie being deceived by a bad man, so he decided to come and warn auntie."
Song Qingshu was puzzled by her gaze. "Why are you looking at me?"
"Because the bad man is Uncle Tang Kuo." The girl's smile was sweet and clear, but her words almost angered Song Qingshu to death. "Uncle Tang Kuo, how did it feel to be the top courtesan of Qiu Xiang Brothel yesterday?"
Song Qingshu's face heated up. "What does a girl like you know about taste?"
"The Courtesan of Autumn Fragrance Brothel?" Ge Bi looked at Zhong Jie blankly.
"Looks like Uncle Tang Kuo didn't talk to Auntie," the young girl said as if inadvertently, "It's like this …" She then told her about how a group of men spent a lot of money to fight for the title of Courtesan Belle in Autumn Fragrance Brothel last night, and how Tang Kuo won the beauty.
Song Qingshu's face was very dark. This young girl looked innocent and romantic on the surface, but she was intentionally or unintentionally sowing discord between them. Wei Wang had clearly left, but she had repeated what Wei Wang wanted to do. From his point of view, Wei Wang might have come here because of this young girl.
Song Qingshu was still thinking about how to explain it to Ge Bi. After all, he only came back last night when it was almost dawn. After being deliberately provoked by Zhong Jie, it would be strange if Ge Bi wasn't angry.
However, Ge Bi's following reaction almost made his eyeballs pop out. Her expression was normal as she smiled faintly. "It's normal for a man to go out and have fun occasionally. Wei Wang is really making a big deal out of it."
"Uh …" Song Qingshu didn't know what to do. With a wife like this, did Tang Kuo save the earth in his past life?
The young girl was also stunned. The scene she had imagined didn't happen. She didn't expect Ge Bi to be so calm. However, she reacted quickly and immediately said, "That's right. In my opinion, Brother Wei Wang might not really have any sense of justice. I'm afraid it's more because Uncle Tang Kuo snatched the title of Courtesan of Autumn Fragrance Brothel from him last night. That's why he came here early in the morning to cause trouble."
Ge Bi smiled gently, revealing a row of white teeth. She didn't continue the conversation. Instead, she sighed softly. "I pity that Courtesan of Autumn Fragrance Brothel. She used to be a high and mighty princess, but now she has become a commodity for men to pick and choose from. Sigh …"
Song Qingshu didn't expect Ge Bi to have such a kind heart. For a moment, his heart was filled with emotions, and he didn't know what to say.
The young girl, however, didn't think much of it. "Those Song people are useless. What's there to be pitied about?"
Ge Bi shook her head slightly. "Otherwise, when the Song Kingdom was weak and the Jin Kingdom was strong, the Song Kingdom's princess became a captive. If the Jin Kingdom is weak in the future and the Daxing Constabulary is conquered by a strong enemy, how can our fates be any better than hers?"
"The weak are prey to the strong. That's the truth of the world." The young girl said expressionlessly. However, Ge Bi's words had touched a sore spot in her heart, and she suddenly fell silent.
Seeing the two women's dejected expressions, Song Qingshu laughed. "Don't worry. There are still men like us to protect the country."
Ge Bi looked at him tenderly with a smile on her face. The young girl replied coldly, "Those Song women were also sold by their men."
"Uh …" Song Qingshu choked. Why was this young girl always making things difficult for him? Had Tang Kuo Bian offended her in some way?
The young girl also realized that she had lost her composure. Embarrassed to stay any longer, she stood up and bid farewell to the two men. Before she left, she suddenly asked, "By the way, tonight is Qiu Cao's coming of age ceremony. Aunt and … Uncle Tang Kuo, are you going?"
"Qiu Cao? Coming of age ceremony? "Song Qingshu was confused. He had no idea who Qiu Cao was.
Ge Bi nodded and smiled. "It's the coming of age ceremony of the eldest sister of the Pucha Family. Of course, the Tang Kuo Family will be there." After receiving confirmation from Song Qingshu, the young girl suddenly became happy and skipped away.
Seeing the confusion on Song QingShu's face, Ge Bi explained, "During this period of time, you've been elusive, so I've received the invitation from the Pucha Clan on your behalf. Today is Qiu Cao's fourteenth birthday, and our three great clans have always been close, so of course we have to go and support her. I've already prepared the gift, so you don't have to worry, husband."
"Is Qiu Cao Pucha Ahute or Pucha Ahudi's daughter?" Song Qingshu asked directly. After all, Qiu Cao was still young, so it was normal that Tang Kuo Bian didn't know her. Pucha Ahute and Ahudi were now the masters of the Pucha Family. One of them was the Left Deputy Prefect, while the other was the Right Deputy Prefect. It could be said that they controlled the Imperial Army of the Imperial City.
"Look at your memory. Qiu Cao is Pucha Ahute's daughter." Ge Bi rolled her eyes at her husband.
At this time, in the Pucha Family's mansion, a delicate young girl was smashing vase after vase at a middle-aged man. "I don't want to marry that cripple Yang. I, Pucha Qiu Cao, am in love with the most valiant warrior in the entire Jin Kingdom. I won't even look at that cripple!"
"Don't smash it, don't smash it! That vase was a gift from Father's friend in the Qing Kingdom. It's very precious!" Looking at the shattered vases on the floor, the middle-aged man looked distressed. "This isn't a matter of whether you want to marry him or not. You were betrothed before you were born."
