Chapter 55

Song Yunzhi's understanding at that time was that she was a merchant and had not yet reached the status of pursuing fame. She cared more about personal vendettas and seeking temporary benefits.

So, he insisted on pulling her up.

"You don't care." He looked at the woman beneath him. The faint light from the fire in the distance made her eyes appear and disappear. When the light faded from her face and she couldn't see him, he said, "I care."

He went to get the person back.

Before he could stand up, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed his neck and pulled him down hard.

Song Yunzhi was caught off guard, or perhaps he had already let down his guard against her without realizing it. When she pulled him, his body was pressed down and pressed tightly against her. Before he had time to think about her intentions, a soft and gentle kiss landed on his lips.

Like cotton, yet like fire.

It was clearly a very gentle touch, but it made his whole body burn, as if he was in flames.

Song Yunzhi was born in a marquis's mansion, and his every word and action were in accordance with the gentleman's demeanor. The eldest princess explicitly stipulated that the two brothers and sisters could not have physical contact with anyone before they got married.

It is even more impossible for the eldest princess's son to visit a brothel.

Song Yunzhi had lived for twenty-one years and had never even touched a girl's hand. Yet, today, he touched a woman's lips. The electric shock of touch made him drift away, leaving him in a momentary trance. However, when he realized what she was up to, he regained consciousness, instantly propped himself up, and stared at the woman beneath him, whose arms were still hanging around his neck. He gritted his teeth and said, "Qian Tong, don't try to fool me with this..."

Qian Tong raised her head again and kissed him on the lips, as light as a dragonfly touching the water. "Since the prince said that the engagement banquet still counts, then I am still your fiancée. My dear prince, is your prince unwilling?"

If one kiss isn’t enough, how about two?

Song Yunzhi felt the restraint of the arms behind his neck, as if she would continue to kiss him if he didn't compromise.

The place on his lips where she had pecked him was still burning, and the tip of his nose could smell the delicate fragrance of her body. Song Yunzhi's lifelong knowledge was not enough to deal with such a situation. He could only warn, "Don't mess around..."

Qian Tong didn't want to listen to his lecture at this time, so he just asked, "Does the prince like it? I've never kissed anyone before, so I don't know how to kiss. Can you teach me later?"

Song Yunzhi was glad that she was in the dark at this time, and she could not see the love and desire in his eyes.

He thought he was not an angry person, but sometimes he really had the urge to strangle her, but that anger was born from her and ended by her.

All his anger was like a fist hitting cotton. Song Yunzhi asked her: "Since you know that our marriage is still valid, hand over Park Er and I will clear your name. We can discuss whatever your Qian family wants."

He spoke for a long time, but the woman under him did not say anything.

Song Yunzhi asked, "You don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't trust the Crown Prince, it's that you and I have different positions and our choices will be different. If I had told you in advance that Park Seung-jun couldn't be imprisoned in the prefectural government and asked the Crown Prince to hand him over to me, would you have given him to me?" Qian Tong shook his head. "According to the ideals and education the Crown Prince has received throughout his life, you wouldn't have trusted me either. If you didn't give it to me, I would have no choice but to execute him first and report him later."

Song Yunzhi was silent for a moment because of her words, and found that he had nothing to say.

An official and a businessman are enough to create a gap between the two, let alone an official and a thief.

"Let go, I want to talk to you." In the end, he lowered his head first.

Knowing that he had calmed down, Qian Tong let her go.

Song Yunzhi got up from her and sat on a pile of hay beside him. There was a long river rolling underground, and the sound of the rushing water reached his ears at this time. He watched the woman get up and sit cross-legged opposite him.

He asked her, "Who are you giving him to?"

The first problem gave Qian Tong a hard time.

She looked at him pleadingly, "Can I tell the prince in a couple of days?"

She kidnapped someone and kept it a secret from him. Is there such a good thing? Song Yunzhi didn't give him a chance to bargain. He said coldly, "Qian Tong, you can choose not to answer, but from now on, don't even think about leaving me."

The people on the cliff seemed to have found the rope, and they would probably be able to come down and find them soon.

Under the gaze of the Song prince who would never admit defeat, Qian Tong had no choice but to say, "The palace."

Song Yunzhi was stunned, but he knew her intention in an instant. He looked at the woman in front of him and once again witnessed her audacity.

He was soft-hearted and would not tolerate hardship, so Song Yunzhi had no choice but to reason with her. "Once you get involved in the incident at the palace, there's no way you can get out. You have no background, no connections, and those assassins you hired were lucky to have tricked me tonight. They're no match for a truly powerful army."

Tong looked at him and said, "My backers are Zheng Ey, the prince, and the court."

"The world has seen that I am difficult to deal with. Since I have been appointed, I cannot just conquer the prince with my beauty. I must serve the court."

Song Yunzhi's eyebrows twitched again because of her beautiful words.

With my status, I can't think of what I can bring to the prince. The only thing I can do is to make some contributions when the court needs me. Then when I go to Kyoto in the future and meet the prince's parents, I won't be told, "Look, you are just a merchant.

"No

Qian Tong: "Hmm?"

Song Yunzhi: "I won't let my mother say that about you, and she won't say anything like that either."

Qian Tong said sadly, "But I'm scared."

The wind was strong on the cliff, and the river breeze rushed up through the cracks in the wooden planks. Qian Tong felt a little cold. She kept rubbing her hands, but they didn't warm up after a long time. So she offered her hand to Song Yunzhi, "Prince's hands are warm. Can you warm them for me? Warm them for a while, I'm leaving."

After she asked, regardless of whether he was willing or not, she clenched her fists and put them into his palms.

The cold air was wrapped in the warm current, and she couldn't help but rub it, looking up at the crowd approaching above. After a while, she felt the hand stretched out in front of her slowly clenching.

In the end, Song Yunzhi warmed her hands.

When they were almost there, Qian Tong withdrew his gaze and said softly to the Prince Song, who had remained silent, "I'll be back in five days at most."

She didn't look at his expression, knowing that Prince Song's silence at this moment was his greatest concession. If she said one more word, there would be a risk that he would regret it.

She reluctantly pulled her hands away, stood up from in front of him, took out a rope from her waist, and tied it to the wooden stake that fixed the stand in front of him.

This time she placed her trust in him. She climbed up the rock, and before she went down, she looked up and called out, "Yunzhen, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Song Yunzhi sat there quietly without saying a word.

It was not until Chen Che came over with the secret guards that he saw that only Song Yunzhi was sitting in the stands, and his face looked not very good. His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly looked towards the water below.

“She…” died?

"He ran away." Knowing what he was thinking, Song Yunzhi finished explaining and said, "Go back home."

Chen Che was speechless for a moment. Because the prince Song had his soul taken away by the witch, he could not show any regret in front of him that the witch was still alive. However, he could not help but say with anger: "Park II was kidnapped."

"If she hadn't come here to cause trouble..." Chen Che couldn't figure it out. "The arrest of the second son of the Pu family would have cleared the Qian family's grievances. Why would she be dissatisfied? Now that the second son of the Pu family has been kidnapped, how can the case be tried? Without any evidence, will they just post a notice to expose the case? Will the Pu family be happy with that?"

Song Yunzhi said, "So what if I'm not happy?"

The case can be closed even without Park II.

——

Red Moon Casino.

Tonight, after being led to a private room by the housekeeper, Lan Yizi waited for someone to come and pick him up. When he came out of the dungeon, he saw the words written on Qian Tong's palm: [Follow the Qian family.]

Prince Song is very reliable and holds a high position. I believe he can give me justice.

But in his subconscious, he believed in Qian Tong more.

Three years ago, when the Lan family just arrived in Yangzhou, he was surrounded by a group of people who were vying to show their affection to him. Only she stood aside and watched from afar. Later, after the people left, she sent someone to deliver a pair of paintbrushes.

She said she knew he liked it.

After they had more contact, she always knew what he wanted and never let him down.

He thought the same thing this time.

She didn't forget what she promised him.

Lan Yizi waited in the room for an incense stick, and then he heard the cry of a crow. He had heard that sound for seven days and seven nights, and he was too familiar with it. He knew someone was coming to pick him up, so he found an excuse to go to the bathroom, opened the window, jumped down, and then followed the sound and found Azhu, one of Qian Tong's four guards.

Ah Zhu led him into the carriage, out of the city gate, and waited in a deserted area outside the city.

After waiting for about half an incense stick, someone came up behind him. When he saw Park Chengjun being escorted by the second wife of the Qian family, he couldn't help but tremble.

Unlike his usual arrogance, Mr. Park seemed to have been seriously injured. He didn't even have the energy to tease Lan Yizhi anymore when he saw him. He beckoned, "Young Master Lan, if you can help me leave, I can give you unexpected benefits."

Lan Yizi felt a little nauseous when he saw that face again.

He went up to him and beat him up, getting back at the humiliation he had suffered in those days.

Mrs. Qian Er did not stop him and let him vent his anger.

Seeing Park Chengjun lying on the ground and unable to get up, Lan Yizi felt very happy. He sat down on the ground and laughed and cried.

When Qian Tong rushed over, she saw Young Master Lan, his face covered in tears, slumped on the ground in disarray. If anyone didn't know better, they would have thought he was the one being beaten. She stepped forward, pulled him up, smiled, and asked, "Are you relieved now?"

Qian Tong looked at Park Er, whose face was bruised and swollen after being kicked by Lan Yizhi, and told Lan Yizhi, and also told Park Chengjun, "This is just the beginning. Just wait and see what happens to him."

Although Park Seung-jun was injured, he was conscious.

When he saw someone coming tonight, he actually thought that it was the Third Madam who sent someone to rescue him. Later, he was captured, beaten up, and thrown into another carriage. Only then did he realize that it was not the case.

He didn't expect that Qian Qi Niang was so capable that she could kidnap him from Prince Song.

Park Seung-jun couldn't figure out where there was anything that could be more satisfying than being locked up in the government jail.

She doesn't want to seek justice anymore?

It was not until he was taken out of the city that he began to feel a little scared. Although he didn't know where Qian Tong would take him, he could predict that the place he was going was definitely not a good place.

After hearing what Qian Tong said, Park Chengjun struggled twice.

Qian Tong now looked at him as if he were a drowned dog, not afraid at all. She asked Qian Erniang beside her, "How are Second Sister's legs?"

"Prince Song is quite difficult to deal with." Madam Qian Er had her face covered, so only his eyebrows and eyes could be seen clearly. His willow-shaped eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of the deceased Madam. She did not answer, but glanced at Qian Tong suspiciously, "Did you finish it so quickly?"

Qian Tong shook his head. "You'll understand when Second Sister meets him in the future. He's a stubborn person. It took some effort to convince him."

Madam Qian Er didn't ask her what effort it took to convince her. Time waits for no one, so the group took advantage of the last ray of night in the sky and headed straight for the neighboring Chuzhou.

——

The next evening.

In a village in Chuzhou, a maidservant hurried in from the outer courtyard, passed through the corridor, and passed through the hanging flower gate. She arrived in front of an exquisitely decorated house, took off her shoes, and went in wearing long stockings.

The faint fragrance of borneol filled the air, and the house was silent, without a single sound.

The maid lifted the pearl curtain and went in to report to the woman sitting in the main seat: "Princess, someone is visiting."

The woman sitting in the upper seat was watching a pair of katydids fighting. Seeing that the one she favored was about to be killed by the other, she held a piece of iron wire in her hand and stabbed the defeated katydid's head straight, "Useless thing."

When the katydid chirped sharply, the servants beside him all closed their eyes, not daring to look.

The maid who reported the news knelt on the ground, frightened out of her wits.

When the katydid could no longer struggle, the woman raised her head and looked at the trembling maidservant kneeling on the ground. She asked curiously, "Who is it? This princess just arrived in Chuzhou, how come someone knows her?"

The servant suppressed her fear and reported, "Yes, it's the second young master of the Pu family."

The princess was stunned. "Who?"

The maidservant reported again: "The second young master of the Pu family."

I heard it right. It really was the second son of the Park family. The princess snorted coldly, "The Park family kept saying they were sincere, kneeling at my father's feet, begging for a marriage, but the one they offered was the second son. I heard Mrs. Park bragging about him so much. This princess wants to see what's so special about him. Bring him in..."

But the people were carried in.

Following him in was the young master of the Lan family.

The princess didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here, and he looked like he'd been ravaged. "Lan Yizi? Wasn't your house raided? Are you absconding from justice?"

Lan Yizi was not afraid of her threats. As if he had risked everything, he said with a red face, "I came here today to give the princess a gift."

——

On the third night.

Haizhou.

The servant who led the way, holding a lantern, walked around three courtyards and five corridors before stopping. He stepped aside to make room for the door and said to Qian Tong behind him, "Seventh Lady, please come in."

Qian Tong nodded and walked into the house.

The moment she stepped in, the talking in the room stopped. When people came up to her, they saw that she had taken off the veil on her head, revealing a stunning face.

The third lady sitting beside him said, "You came quite quickly."

On the main seat to the right of the third lady sat a woman with a dignified look. Ever since she came in, his eyes had been on her. When he saw her face, he couldn't help but sigh.

It is even more eye-catching than two years ago.

She said, "If it weren't for the second brother forcing her, Qian Qi Niangzi would never have come to me in her lifetime."
