Song Qingshu's body softened when he heard Ge Bi call him a pitiful uncle. He hurriedly helped her up and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I promised Brother Tang Kuo that I would avenge him. Even if Madam didn't ask, I would still do it."
He didn't think too much about it and held Ge Bi's arm with both hands. Ge Bi felt the warmth of his palms and blushed imperceptibly. She instinctively pulled her hand back.
Song Qingshu was surprised at first, then smiled bitterly. The two of them had clearly shared a very intimate relationship. But now, just a touch of his arm made her so uncomfortable. It seemed that she hated him very much.
"I don't know if Uncle can give Ge Bi a definite deadline." Seeing Song Qingshu's stunned expression, Ge Bi looked sad. "I know who my enemy is, but I can't show it. I don't know how long I can endure it. If Uncle can give me a definite deadline, I will have something to look forward to. Only then will I not be driven mad by the thought of revenge."
Song Qingshu hesitated for a while and finally shook his head. "If I give you a deadline now, it would be irresponsible of me. Although Wan Yanliang doesn't seem to be the most powerful person on the surface, from the time I've spent with him, I've discovered that he's hiding a frightening amount of power. Without absolute certainty, everything I say is just empty words."
Ge Bi sighed. "Wan Yanliang is very powerful. It's my fault for making you take such a big risk. Have a good rest, Young Master. I'll take my leave." She then turned and walked out with a blank expression.
Song Qingshu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. "Madam, you misunderstand. I wasn't trying to shirk my responsibility. I really wanted to help you."
Ge Bi's gaze fell on her wrist. "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Young Master, please behave yourself."
"What nonsense! We've already rolled on the bed a few times. How can we not touch each other?" Hearing her tone, Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel annoyed.
A rouge-like blush appeared on Ge Bi's snow-white face. She couldn't help but glare at him fiercely. "Young Master, please be careful with your words. Ge Bi is now a widow, and Young Master is Wo Gu La's sworn brother. Ge Bi doesn't want to become a laughing stock."
Song Qingshu laughed. "Since you're talking about how Tang Kuo and I became sworn brothers, fine, we'll start with that. Why is it that you're still fine just a moment ago? Why aren't you calling me Uncle now? Why are you calling me Young Master instead? "
"Then how do you want me to address you?" Ge Bi pursed her lips and looked at him deeply.
Up close, Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh at Ge Bi's appearance. It was as if she had been sculpted by the uncanny workmanship of the heavens. Her pair of beautiful eyes were like two shining gems, and her delicate face was flawless.
Song Qingshu's heart fluttered. He blurted out, "I want you to call me like before."
"What did I call you before?" Ge Bi was stunned at first. I didn't even know you before, but then she realized that he was referring to the time when he impersonated Tang Kuo. Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment and anger. "Don't even think about it!"
Song Qingshu's expression suddenly became playful. "Actually, according to the agreement between me and Brother Tang Kuo, you should be calling me husband now."
"That's your agreement. What does it have to do with me?" Ge Bi couldn't help cursing her husband in her heart. What kind of man would give his wife to another man? However, she quickly realized that Tang Kuo was worried that she would be bullied by others. That was why he used this relationship to restrain Song Qingshu so that he could protect her in the future.
Song Qingshu smiled. He didn't force her. Instead, he said, "I also think that Brother Tang Kuo's agreement is ridiculous. You don't have to take it to heart, Madam."
Ge Bi looked at him in surprise. Over the years, because of her beauty, who knew how many crazy bees and butterflies had tried to get close to her. If it was another man with such a favorable agreement, it would be strange if he didn't use it to death. Who knew that this person would give up without a care.
"You said it yourself. Don't regret it in the future." Ge Bi still didn't believe him.
Song QingShu nodded with a smile and said, "In my opinion, unless Madam is willing, no one has the right to give you away, not even your husband. I think Brother Tang Kuo is being unmanly in this matter."
"Don't you dare insult Wugu La!" Ge Bi looked at him reproachfully. She sighed. "Wugu La and I have been married for so many years. Others might not understand why he did this, but as his wife, how can I not understand?"
"In fact, if the murderer wasn't Wanyan Liang, he wouldn't have been forced to do this. In his heart, I am the only one who can live happily. Even if I remarry his murderer, he will only give me his blessings. But Wanyan Liang and I are related by blood. He can't marry me openly. In the end, I will only become his plaything. Moreover, it will attract other people who covet me, just like Chong Jie's mother … "
"Furthermore, Wo Gu La also knows my feelings for him. He knows that I will definitely avenge him, but Wanyan Liang's influence is too great. I don't know how he has bewitched my royal brother to trust him. My greatest support is gone. Seeking revenge on him is like throwing an egg against a rock."
"But even if I don't find Wanyan Liang, Wanyan Liang will come looking for me. Tang Kuo's family isn't powerful enough to protect me, and my brother is unreliable. It will be difficult for me to resist him. If that happens, the rest of my life is destined to be miserable. That's why Wugu La used such a strange method. Avenging him is secondary. The main reason is that he wants you to protect me."
As Ge Bi spoke, tears flowed down her face again. "But Wugu La treats me with such deep affection. How can I not avenge him?"
Song Qingshu reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks. "You and your wife love each other to such an extent. There are few couples in this world who can compare to you."
Sensing Song Qingshu's movement, Ge Bi's body trembled. But this time, she did not dodge. After a long silence, she suddenly raised her head. "If you can help me get revenge as soon as possible, I can pay you the appropriate amount."
Song Qingshu laughed involuntarily. "It's very expensive to ask me to do something."
"Then how much do you think I'm worth?" Ge Bi raised her head to look at him. Her eyes were watery and emitted a strange luster.
Song Qingshu's Adam's apple bobbed. He involuntarily gulped. "You must be joking."
"I'm not joking." At first, she was a little hesitant. But as she spoke, there was only determination left in Ge Bi's eyes. "In your heart, how much am I worth?"
"Devastatingly beautiful." Song Qingshu typed dryly.
