"Um."

Liang Qingwu nodded in response, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

She recalled the night of the homecoming banquet when Song Chi said before leaving that one day he would stand before her with dignity.

Only a year later, Song Chi did it.

"let's go."

Shen Liangyu was overjoyed that she could finally meet Song Chi. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The two went out and got on the carriage.

Seeing Shen Liangyu’s excitement, Liang Qingwu deliberately asked, “Do you know that there are many women around Song Chi now?”

“Who are they?”

Although she is a woman dressed as a man, when they are alone, Shen Liangyu still acts like a girl.

"After we left Ji County, he entered the county government as a legal advisor. After that, he became entangled with a widow, who is still with him."

"Is that the Su Mingyue you mentioned before?"

"Um."

Shen Liangyu said: "Although Su Mingyue is a widow, isn't she also quite capable? Besides, Song Chi also needs someone to take care of him."

Liang Qingwu.......

She was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "You know An Guogong's daughter Luo Yurou, right? She has a close relationship with Song Chi."

"That's great. Luo Yurou's father is the Duke of Anguo. Being able to make friends with him will be of great help to Song Chi."

Shen Liangyu’s words once again left Liang Qingwu speechless.

She continued, "You know the Gu family, the richest family in Jiangzhou, right? Miss Gu Rongshan of the Gu family is very close to Song Chi."

"Really?"

Shen Liangyu's tone became heavier, and Liang Qingwu let out a long breath. She was finally about to get angry, but she didn't expect Shen Liangyu to change the subject, "It's great that Song Chi can get close to Miss Gu."

Liang Qingwu.....

"What's good about it?"

"Jiangzhou's richest man has enormous financial resources. If Song Chi can get close to Gu Rongshan, it will also be beneficial to his future."

Shen Liangyu looked pleased, "Song Chi has really made it. He was alone with me for three years and didn't even know I was a girl, but now he's getting close to so many women."

"you......"

Liang Qingwu took a deep breath. Although she was wearing a bra, she could still see her chest swelling and rising.

"Haven't you noticed how many women Song Chi has? He won first place at the Jiangzhou Literary Conference, and his reward was spending the night with the four most distinguished prostitutes in Jiangzhou. Since then, he's become a regular at Fanlou, frequenting brothels."

"That's nothing." Shen Liangyu said as a matter of course: "It's normal for men to have such hobbies. He just wants to make friends and socialize."

Liang Qingwu was speechless. After a while, she asked again, "Aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

"Aren't you worried that there are too many women around Song Chi and he'll ignore you or stay away from you?"

"I'm not worried."

Shen Liangyu said firmly: "I believe Song Chi is not that kind of person. Besides, I..."

A blush appeared on her face, and although she was wearing military uniform, she felt shy.

Shen Liangyu recalled the scene when she parted with Song Chi and put Song Chi's hand on her chest in order to prove to Song Chi that she was a girl.

"You have a really big heart."

Liang Qingwu said directly: "You can tolerate it, but I can't stand it. Song Chi is simply a playboy. Don't worry, I will stand up for you."

Shen Liangyu's eyes were full of emotion. Outsiders said that Wu'an Hou was cold-blooded and domineering, but he took care of her like his own sister.

"Well, really not."

"fine."

Liang Qingwu said calmly: "Your business is my business. I will definitely make the decision for you on this matter!"

It is unknown whether she was speaking for Shen Liangyu or venting her anger.

The carriage continued to move forward.

As night fell, carriages stopped outside the palace gate and many civil and military officials came to attend the banquet.

Those invited were all Beijing officials of the fourth rank or above, or had noble titles.

"Lord Wang is here."

"Master Li, you are here too."

The officials clasped their fists, smiled, and greeted each other as they entered the palace together.

"Has King Xiang returned to the capital?"

"Not only King Xiang, but also Marquis Wu'an was recalled to Youzhou."

"I'm afraid something's going on at this dinner. I heard that Marquis Wu'an has been advising Your Majesty not to start this war. Marquis Wu'an is attacking the main force of the Northern Wei. The war is about to start, but the commander is unwilling to use the troops. Isn't this a problem?"

"Not only the Marquis of Wu'an, but also the Duke of Anguo Luo Chuannan, the Marquis of Changfeng Shen Chong and other nobles have made suggestions."

"It has nothing to do with me anyway."

"In the imperial examination half a month ago, His Majesty personally designated Song Chi as the top scorer. This caused great controversy, and even many candidates were puzzled as to the reason. His Majesty decided to announce his policy essay at the banquet. I think this will be the highlight of the evening."

The courtiers who came to the banquet gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other.

Everyone knew that something unusual was bound to happen tonight.

Shen Chong arrived early, but did not go in first. Instead, he waited at the door. After watching Liang Qingwu and Shen Liangyu get off the carriage, he walked over with an excited look on his face.

"Marquis Wu'an." He greeted him and nodded to his daughter as a greeting.

The father and daughter had already met last night, so now it was time to talk about business.

"I've received news that His Majesty wants you to express your position publicly tonight in order to stabilize the court and reassure the people..." Shen Chong paused, "The Northern Palace Army is attacking the main force of the Northern Wei. If you make a remonstration tonight... I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve."

Shen Chong was waiting at the palace gate just to tell the news he knew.

The fact that even he, an unpopular and down-and-out nobleman, was invited speaks volumes.

Your Majesty will not tolerate them any longer.
