Pucha Alihu looked at him deeply. "Even my own daughter doesn't understand me and even hates me. I didn't expect an outsider like you to be able to guess my thoughts so well. I didn't understand why Ge Bi fell for you in the past, but now I do. To be able to marry a man like you is a woman's greatest happiness."
Song Qingshu blushed at her praise and smiled embarrassedly. "You flatter me, Madam."
"Mother, he's not Tang Kuo Bian." Wanyan Zhongjie still hadn't come back to his senses, but he still subconsciously corrected his mother's words.
"Hm?" Pucha Alihu looked surprised. Only then did Wanyan Zhongjie roughly explain how he discovered Tang Kuo Bian's identity.
Song Qingshu smiled slightly. "Little girl, this is where you're wrong. Why do you think I'm an impostor? Just because I know martial arts? If I remember correctly, in everyone's impression, Miss Chung Jie doesn't know martial arts, right? Now that you have a consummate skill, can I suspect that you are also a fake? "
Wanyan Zhongjie was speechless. "You're twisting words and forcing logic! You admitted it before!"
"Did I admit it?" Song Qingshu looked at her with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Wanyan Zhongjie was stunned. He thought back carefully and realized that she really hadn't admitted she was an impostor. She'd just been acting alone.
Pucha Alihu reached out and pressed down on his daughter. "Whether you're the real Tang Kuo Bian or not, it doesn't matter to us. The only thing we care about is … are you an enemy? A friend? "
"Whether I'm a friend or an enemy, none of you can influence my choice. What does Madam think?" Song Qingshu looked at the mature and beautiful woman in front of him and sighed. No wonder she could walk among so many men. She did have the capital.
"Young Master is right." Pucha Alihu smiled. "From what you just said, it's clear that you don't have any enmity towards us. I was overthinking."
"Madam has been dancing on a tightrope for so many years. It's better to be careful," Song Qingshu replied.
"Dancing on a tightrope? Young Noble's description is quite apt. "Pucha's Alihu covered his mouth and laughed.
Wanyan Zhongjie frowned. Because of the shadow of the past few years, he subconsciously didn't like his mother teasing other men. Seeing this, he immediately interrupted, "Mother, is what he just said true?"
Pucha's smile disappeared and he sighed, "When your father was in trouble, I wanted to go with him, but you were still young. If I had gone, I'm afraid you wouldn't have survived. Even if you did, your life would be miserable. At first, I was still a little hesitant until Wanyan Liang broke into the mansion … After that, I finally thought it through. I want revenge. Not only do I want to avenge your father and grandfather, but I also want to avenge myself. That's why I chose to survive. All these years, I've been humiliated and looked down upon by my own daughter. I've wavered, but all these years of sacrifice haven't been in vain. I've finally succeeded in killing that old bastard Wanyan Zonggan … "
"Wait, you killed Wanyan Zonggan? Didn't he get sick and return to his hometown? "Wanyan Zhongjie asked curiously.
"Do you think that old bastard would give up his power so easily?" Pucha's father hesitated, but in the end, he shook his head, "Don't ask about the process. You won't want to hear it."
Wanyan Zhongjie was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted. His nose turned sour and he threw himself into his mother's arms, "Mother, I'm sorry. I've misunderstood you all these years …"
Seeing the mother and daughter crying together, Song Qingshu didn't want to disturb them. He went to Zhao Min's side and looked at her sleeping face. After a moment of absent-mindedness, he felt a headache coming on. What to do with her would be the real problem. He definitely couldn't let her go, but he also didn't dare to keep her here. Wanyan Zhongjie looked innocent on the outside, but she was vicious and merciless. She might just turn around and kill Zhao Min to silence her.
Wanyan Zhongjie cried for a while before suddenly raising his head, "Mother, you've already killed Wanyan Zonggan. If I kill Wanyan Liang, I'll be able to avenge Father and Grandfather."
"Don't!" Pucha's father hurriedly pulled his daughter back, "Wanyan Liang has many experts by his side. You won't be able to kill him."
"I can't do it alone, there's still him." Wanyan Zhongjie pointed at Song Qingshu, "He promised me to help me kill Wanyan Liang."
"When did I promise you?" Song Qingshu's face was gloomy. This girl is really clinging to me.
"If you don't promise me, I'll tell everyone that you impersonated Tang Kuo Bian." Song Qingshu was about to say something, but Wanyan Zhongjie quickly added, "Don't try to fool me with what you just said. Let's see if the people in the capital will believe you."
"I'm afraid of you, Young Miss." Song Qingshu felt a headache coming on. "I'll help you kill Wanyan Liang, but not now."
"When will that be?" Wanyan Zhongjie asked.
"That's none of your business. I'm in the middle of a plan to deal with Wanyan Liang. Don't ruin my plans," Song Qingshu replied.
"I don't believe you!" Wanyan Zhongjie thought to himself, I'm not that easy to fool. There's no way you can stall me with a delaying tactic.
Song Qingshu's expression darkened. Pucha's father hurriedly pulled his daughter back, "Alright, mother believes that he won't lie to us."
"But Wanyan Liang has given him his favorite carriage time and time again. I don't believe that he'll kill Wanyan Liang." Wanyan Zhongjie was also anxious. He hurriedly told his mother about how he had mistakenly hit the side carriage when he tried to assassinate Wanyan Liang. This time, even Pucha's mother looked suspicious.
Song Qingshu's mouth twitched in disdain. He thought to himself, So what if he gave me a carriage? Wanyan Liang even gave me his consort to ride …
Noticing their suspicious gazes, Song Qingshu had an idea. "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see someone."
"Who?" the two girls asked in unison.
"Ge Bi!" Song Qingshu replied in a deep voice. Actually, he didn't want to explain things to the two girls. He was just worried that if they worked together while they were suspicious of each other, it might cause some unnecessary trouble. Rather than that, it would be better to work together honestly.
With his martial arts, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill Wanyan Liang. The difficult part was what to do after he killed Wanyan Liang. Coincidentally, he had obtained an opportunity to enter the inner circle of the Jin Kingdom. It would be a pity to waste it.
When he found out that Wanyan Liang wanted to usurp the throne, he came up with a plan. First, he would let Wanyan Liang get rid of the other core members of the Jin Kingdom. When Wanyan Liang was ready to become the Emperor, he would replace him. This way, not only would he be able to get rid of Wanyan Liang, but he would also be able to gain the power of the Jin Kingdom.
However, replacing Kangxi was not an easy task. Previously, he succeeded because of various coincidences. It could be said that he had taken a huge risk. Moreover, because everything happened in a hurry, he didn't have the time to train his trusted subordinates. As a result, when he became the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom, his control over the entire Qing Kingdom was extremely limited, even with the help of a genius like Dongfang Muxue.
If he had enough trusted subordinates to help him control the entire Qing Kingdom, the Qing Kingdom would not have sent an army to encircle and annihilate the Golden Snake Battalion. Sending an army to encircle and annihilate the Golden Snake Battalion was the consensus of the Qing Kingdom's upper echelons. Even as the Emperor, he couldn't stop it. If he did, it would easily arouse suspicion.
Later, with the help of Dongfang Muxue and the help of a steady stream of intelligence, he was able to achieve a miracle. Then, he took the opportunity to purge a large number of people from the upper echelons of the Qing Kingdom. Only then was the Qing Kingdom truly under his control.
This time in the Jin Kingdom, he didn't want history to repeat itself. Last time, he acted rashly because he had no other choice. This time, he had enough time, of course, he had to be fully prepared.
After turning Zhongjie and his daughter into his allies, he already had two of the three great families of the Jin Kingdom: the Pucha Family and the Tang Kuo Family. Through Wanyan Zhongjie, he had established a relationship with Taizong. Through Yang Guo, he had established a relationship with the King of Zhao. In addition, Empress Pei Man was also on his side. Once the final plan was completed, his control over the Jin Kingdom would be much greater than when he hastily impersonated Kangxi and became the Emperor in name only.
…
Song Qingshu carried Zhao Min and brought Wanyan Zhongjie and his daughter back to the Tang Kuo Mansion. When Ge Bi saw that he had brought so many people back, she couldn't help but be shocked, "Song … husband, what's going on?"
Song Qingshu placed Zhao Min on the bed and pulled the blanket over her. "Let's not talk about this for now. You should know them, right?"
Ge Bi looked at the mother and daughter and nodded awkwardly. Wanyan Zhongjie was still alright. Occasionally, he would come to visit and call her 'Auntie' very affectionately. On the other hand, Pucha Alihu and Ge Bi didn't have much of a relationship. They only knew each other. In addition, Pucha Alihu's actions over the years had caused Ge Bi, who had always been gentle and dignified, to look down on her.
After settling Zhao Min down, Song Qingshu told Ge Bi what had happened that day. When she heard that the mother and daughter had always wanted to take revenge on Wanyan Liang and his son, and especially when she heard that Pucha Alihu had endured all these years, Ge Bi immediately burst into tears.
Because of what happened to Tang Kuo Bian, Ge Bi suddenly felt that they had a common enemy. When she looked at the mother and daughter again, she suddenly felt much closer.
"You didn't call us here just to tell Auntie about us, did you?" Wanyan Zhongjie was a little dissatisfied. If more people knew about this, the mother and daughter would be in more danger. Moreover, Song Qingshu had said that he had a way to make them believe that he was dealing with Wanyan Liang. But until now, she still didn't know if he was trustworthy.
"Of course not. Haven't you always been curious about who I am?" Song Qingshu pulled at his beard and took off his mask, revealing his true face.
