Chapter 74 I hope you live well, not about love
"It's really just friendship. Miss Jiang, whether it's you or my other friends or confidants who are in trouble, I will be willing to help. This is simply because I have the ability. I hope you don't worry too much."
Song Yunchu's tone was calm, "You have been hurt by love once, and you know how painful it is to be let down. So, Miss Jiang, you'd better give your heart to someone who likes you enough, and don't waste your time on me."
A hint of disappointment appeared between Jiang Rumin's eyebrows.
Lord Song's attitude was so calm, and it seemed that he really had no affection for her at all.
"Besides, Miss Jiang, you are simple-minded and gentle. You and I are in different environments, so it is really difficult for us to integrate. In fact, I am not a noble person either. You don't have to think too highly of me."
Jiang Rumin subconsciously retorted after hearing this, "I used to think that you were a good person, Mr. Song, and I also believed the criticisms of you from the outside world, but the facts have proved to me that you are an extremely good person. I no longer believe those claims from the outside world."
"If you were me, Lord Song, would you question someone who has protected you time and again?"
Jiang Rumin said this with a bitter smile on his lips, "Sir Song, you can reject me, but you don't have to belittle yourself."
Seeing her depressed, Song Yunchu sighed softly, "Miss Jiang, there is a reason why I have been protecting you. You must have heard the rumors about you, right?"
"When you were born, there were colorful clouds in the sky and hundreds of birds were circling over the Duke's Mansion. It was a rare auspicious sign. A wandering expert said that the Jiang family had a phoenix girl born, who would bring blessings to our dynasty. After that, our dynasty had bumper harvests for three consecutive years. The late emperor also believed this and attached great importance to your Jiang family. It is better to believe such things. So I protected you for the sake of the court and to relieve the worries of my king."
Song Yunchu said seriously, "I hope you live a good life. It has nothing to do with love."
Jiang Rumin was a little stunned.
"Does Lord Song really believe in the theory of celestial phenomena?"
"If the late emperor could believe it, why can't I? Auspicious celestial phenomena like this are hard to come by once every few hundred years. Besides, Miss Jiang, you are really kind-hearted and a doctor with a benevolent heart. Maybe you are the mascot of Tianqi Country. Do you think that your extremely despicable second sister is the Phoenix Girl?"
Song Yunchu said, "Think about it carefully. Although you have always had a bumpy love life and constant troubles, you have always been able to turn danger into safety. This is probably the magic of the Phoenix girl's fate, and it is also your blessing. What you need to do in the future is to live a good life and pray for the prosperity of our dynasty and a good harvest."
She knew that this statement made her seem superstitious, but in this world, there were many people who believed in celestial phenomena. Besides, she was not making it up. The halo that the original author gave to Jiang Rumin as the heroine was the so-called Phoenix Girl Fate - no matter how much hardship she went through, she would be lucky enough to survive.
Jiang Rumin was silent for a long time after listening to Song Yunchu's explanation, and then said: "I understand. Since Mr. Song has no intention of me, I will not be rude again in the future."
She didn't really believe in astronomy, nor did she think that this Phoenix girl's fate would bring her much luck, but she could hear clearly that Lord Song really didn't like her.
This relationship, which she had been looking forward to very much, ended before it even began.
"Miss Jiang, it's good that you understand what I mean. You should run the clinic well first, and I will find a way to cancel the engagement and do my best to protect your reputation."
"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Master Song."
Jiang Rumin didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked away quickly.
When Song Yunchu saw her hurried steps, which looked like she was running away, he couldn't help but sigh again.
Jiang Rumin finally dumped the scumbag and mustered up the courage to tell her that she would behave herself and be the mistress of the prime minister's residence from now on, but she was ruthlessly rejected. She must have felt extremely upset.
But she had no other choice. When it came to matters of the heart, one had to be decisive in rejecting someone. The more ruthless, the better.
Only by cutting the Gordian knot can you leave the other party with no regrets.
Not long after Jiang Rumin left, Chu Yuni came over carrying a bundle.
"Master Song, have you recovered from your injuries? I brought some gifts to honor you, I'm sure you will find them useful."
Song Yunchu glanced at the bundle and asked, "What good stuff is there?"
"Hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, powder of Polygonum multiflorum, and high-quality pearl powder from the Western Regions. This mountain ginseng is rare even in the palace. My lord, you can use it to make soup. Drink a big bowl of it every day. In a few days, I guarantee you will be as healthy as a rocket. And this pearl powder, if you take it regularly, you will become more handsome and dignified."
Song Yunchu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Besides praising my good looks, do you have no other adjectives to describe me?"
Hundred-year-old ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum powder, premium pearl powder... This guy is really generous with his gifts, these things are worth a lot of money.
But his flattery is still so lackluster.
"I heard from my cousin that when you were arguing with the scholars, you belittled the civil servants as worthless because in your eyes, an ugly face is equivalent to a criminal. The reason why you pay attention to appearance is naturally because you are too handsome."
"Although I am not that handsome, I am still pretty, so... I can be accepted by you and allowed to go to the Mirror Department. Don't worry, sir, I will pay attention to maintenance and will never let myself become ugly, so as not to pollute your discerning eyes."
Song Yunchu: “…”
It turns out that Gong Mingyuan said this to her outside, so much so that now some of her subordinates think that she judges people by their appearance.
She moved her lips and wanted to explain, but then changed her mind and decided not to explain.
Her subordinates thought she was moody and had a weird personality. They were used to guessing her preferences. Since everyone was accustomed to this pattern, they decided to continue like this.
She really didn't want anyone to understand her.
For those who truly understand her, having one or two confidants is enough.
Now she could only confirm that Baizhu and Honglian were devoted to her, and the rest still needed to be observed.
"How do you feel about these two days in Mingjingsi?" she asked Chu Yuni casually.
"My colleagues are easy to get along with and are very polite to me." Chu Yuni said with a smile, "Although I am just an ordinary spy and don't understand many things, everyone is very tolerant of me."
Song Yunchu snorted coldly, "You should know why they are nice to you."
He was a specially recruited person, and was brought to the job by Bai Zhu himself. A little inquiry would reveal that he was a relative of Gong Mingyuan. Even if he was the most ordinary spy, who would dare to make things difficult for him?
"Of course I understand. I am just taking advantage of my cousin."
Seeing Song Yunchu's cold expression, Chu Yuni also put away her playful smile, "Sir, I know my colleagues are only polite to me on the surface, and they don't think much of me in their hearts, but so what? It is my ability to make them polite to me on the surface. Sooner or later, I will prove to them that I am also a person of real ability."
"Where there is a will, there is a way." Song Yunchu raised the folding fan in his hand and tapped Chu Yuni's shoulder lightly, "I have a task for you."
