Chapter 66 Chapter 66 [VIP]
Chapter 66
A person who has been hurt in a relationship is already the one who suffers a loss when he or she receives material compensation. Now, before he or she has the chance to cash out, the compensation is taken away by someone else.
Can he bear it?
Qian Tong stood in front of his desk, head slightly lowered, looking pitiful and sympathetic.
However, Prince Song is no longer the original Prince Song, and he has no sympathy at all.
The thief cries "stop thief".
Song Yunzhi said coldly, "If I remember correctly, the Qian family's Seventh Lady is getting engaged to the eldest son of the Park family. Their old love has rekindled. A saltworks is nothing to you. The Park family can offer you much more."
"Of course, of course not." Qian Tongbai thought he had grasped the point and explained, "The salt fields are really important to me..."
Song Yunzhi's face finally showed anger, and his expression was solemn. "Qian Tong!"
He was tall to begin with, and when he stood up suddenly, even though there was a table between them, Qian Tong was so overwhelmed by his imposing aura that his neck tilted back.
"Since you've decided to marry the eldest son of the Park family, you shouldn't discuss your past or future with anyone else. I don't care. I don't care where your salt works came from. Once you've signed the agreement, you can't take it back."
Qian Tong was stunned.
What had she said? Why was he so angry? If she didn't want to say it, then she wouldn't say it... But she couldn't help but mutter, "But you're not someone else." He was the one who took her things, and she was trying to reason with him.
Song Yunzhi's eyes once again flashed with fire because of her words. He asked, "Who am I? Or, should I ask, who am I to you, Qian Tong?"
Qian Tong was stunned by his question.
Who is he to her? Qian Tong could immediately give many answers. He was her wishful thinking, the seventh uncle who married into her Qian family, or her... ex-husband?
But even if she had the courage, she would not dare to say this name casually. She looked into his eyes tentatively and asked, "Is the prince my adopted parent?"
Song Yunzhi looked at her heartless face and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He lowered his voice and shouted angrily, "Get out!"
Isn't that right?
Before he could summon the secret guards to drive them in, Qian Tong seized the opportunity to test them one by one, "Benefactor? Former ally, no, ally... there's no 'former' in that word. We're still allies. Prince, think carefully. Since we met, apart from the initial offense, have I, Qian Tong, ever done anything to let you down..."
She looked at him, waiting for him to recall.
Although she had her own goals and her methods were somewhat extreme, in the end, she was on the side of the court. This included this time when she delivered the third wife to him and helped the court to take back the canal from the Park family.
The eldest lady did not understand the prince's abilities, so she was fooled by him and agreed in a hurry. If she knew more about Prince Song, she would not agree so easily.
She believed that as long as the Park family opened the canal, Song Yunzhi, with his decisive personality, would dare to snatch it from King Pyeongchang.
With such a great benefit, Prince Song should give her the benefit instead of confiscating it.
Qian Tong waited eagerly for him to recall how good she had been to him, but after staring at her for a moment, the anger in Song Shizi's eyes grew instead of subsiding. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you have done anything wrong to me, think about it carefully."
What Qian Tong hates most is trying to guess what other people are thinking.
"Prince, I'm not smart, and I'm not good at guessing people's hearts. Just tell me directly, how did Qian Tong let you down?" Although she said so, she still thought about it, and it was too much to think about.
First of all, she knew his identity when she kidnapped him and took him to be the seventh uncle of the Qian family.
She admitted this herself that night.
In order to force him to confess her, she admitted many crimes that night that she should not have been responsible for. Qian Tong felt a little regretful that she should not have been so talkative.
The more you talk, the more evidence you have.
Including the Lian Xiang he stole today, it was also because of her leaky mouth.
When a person feels guilty, his momentum will be diminished.
Qian Tong glanced at Prince Song, who seemed about to swallow her up, and defended himself, "Prince, even though you won't believe it, everything I said that night was to provoke you..."
"Which one is true and which one is false." Song Yunzhi's voice was as cold as ice. He insisted on clarifying every detail with her and then determining the right and wrong.
But what Qian Tong hated most was living too seriously. He wanted to tell him that he didn't need to take every word to heart, but he was afraid to say it out loud. The next moment, Prince Song called the cavalry over again.
She apologized honestly, "Prince, are you angry that I lied to you?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qian Tong knew that Bai Ji had guessed correctly. She explained his original difficulties for him, "If I hadn't kidnapped you in the beginning, how could the prince and Mr. Shen have broken into the Four Great Merchants so quickly? The identity of the Qian family's seventh son-in-law may seem like an insult to the prince, but isn't this also another way for me to protect him?"
"Who would have thought that the husband of a merchant's daughter would be the choice of the dignified prince Zhi said, "Look, this time, once the prince's status is restored,"
The anger in Song Yunzhi's eyes suddenly paused.
Qian Tong said earnestly, "Your Highness, don't look at the process. Just look at the result now. Has this matter made great progress?"
He looked into her cunning eyes, trying to find a hint of her true intentions. He asked, "Why are you seeking profit for the court?"
Qian Tong knew that he would ask sooner or later, "Are you going to get engaged to the eldest son of the Pu family? There is no conflict between my loyalty to the court and my righteousness. Before the Pu family is formally convicted by the court, what I am doing is not against the law, right?"
Song Yunzhi clenched his fists slightly, and the breath that had finally calmed down began to fluctuate again. He said to the man, "It's getting late, Madam Qian, please go back."
Having said so much, the original problem is still not solved.
Seizing on the fact that it was getting late, Qian Tong suddenly started to act shamelessly. "If the prince doesn't return the saltworks to me, I won't leave tonight. When the news gets out tomorrow, everyone will know that the prince and I, Qian Tong, have been acting out our real life. Taking advantage of the meeting, he left me to spend the night alone in the prefectural mansion. By then, it will be too late for the prince to regret. He will have no choice but to let a sparrow like me fly to your high branch and defile you..."
"Meng Qing." Before she finished her words, the prince suddenly called out.
The secret guard who had just served food to Qian Tong flashed into the house and said, "Prince."
Qian Tongdao was about to call someone in to chase her out, and he quickly lay down on his desk, hugging a corner, showing his perseverance, "If the prince doesn't return, I will never leave..."
Compared to the salt fields, his reputation as Prince Song was obviously more important.
Song Yunzhi didn't even look at her and ordered, "Close the door and lock it."
Qian Tong was stunned.
Before she could react, the two doors behind her closed at lightning speed, and soon there was a crisp sound of locking.
What does he mean?
Qian Tong slowly stood up, full of doubts, and looked up to Prince Song for an explanation.
Song Yunzhi closed the petition on the table, sorted it out, and placed it in a corner of the desk. When he walked out of the room, he glanced at her lightly and replied, "Gao Zhi is here, you fly."
Qian Tong: “…”
He walked to a dressing table on the left, took off his official hat, and placed it on the table. His voice remained calm, "The bathroom is on the right. There's water inside, enough for you to wash."
After hearing no response for a long while, Song Yunzhi turned around.
The sharp-tongued girl just now was like being struck by lightning, staring at him with dumbfounded eyes, as if she had not yet recovered from the sudden defeat.
Song Yunzhi looked at her calmly, without saying a word, and walked into the inner room.
As he took off his official robes, the person outside finally came to life and called out to him through a beaded curtain, "Prince Song, are you really not afraid of word getting out? I'm just a merchant's daughter, and I don't care about my reputation anyway. But it's different for you, Prince. You're of noble status and high moral character, so you can't ignore your reputation, right?"
Song Yunzhi turned a deaf ear to him, sat on the bed and began to take off his boots.
After a while, the girl's voice came again, "Prince Song, aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into your house?"
Song Yunzhi lay down, his hands resting on the back of his head, and listened to her with his eyes open.
"Sir, do you know how tempting a man of your status is to a girl? You're lucky you met me today. If it were any other woman, she would have climbed into your bed, ruining your reputation and forcing you to give her a legitimate status..."
Qian Tong talked for a long time but didn't get a response.
But she clearly saw the other person go in, and she couldn't really break into someone's bedroom. She could only stand outside and continue, "People's hearts are hard to predict. It's best not to test a person's nature, Your Highness..."
Still didn't hear him.
Qian Tong walked to the door and tried to pull it. There were several clangs of the lock, and it was really locked tightly...
Even the windows were shut.
She ran to the partition in the inner room and said to the person pretending to be dead inside, "I am not as noble as the prince thinks. What if I can't help myself and forcefully kiss the prince like last time? What should I do..."
It was unclear whether the person inside was truly fast asleep, but he didn't answer her and just let her chatter on.
Until she was thirsty and exhausted, she finally resigned herself to her fate and went to the bathroom on the right side as he said, and began to wash, rubbing her teeth and rinsing her mouth with salt while soothing her pounding heart.
A man and a woman alone in a room...
Even Prince Song is not afraid, so what is she afraid of?
No matter how strong her energy was, she couldn't last through the night. By this time, she could no longer hear any sound in the entire prefectural government office and felt a little sleepy. Qian Tong looked around and found a chaise longue behind the desk where Prince Song had just been sitting, which was designed for a nap. She lay down on it, intending to spend the night there.
The incense in the house remained burning all night.
She was sleeping soundly. When she was dazed, the fresh smell at the tip of her nose became stronger and stronger. However, she was too sleepy to open her eyes. When she was half asleep and half awake, she felt a slight chill on the injured shoulder.
After a moment, her skin seemed to be exposed to the air, and was gently brushed by the gentle breeze, causing her to tremble layer by layer. The place that had been hurt was the most vulnerable, and she subconsciously reached out to protect it.
The next moment, a warm kiss fell on her lips.
From shallow to deep...
Her lips and teeth were pried open, and she was forced to mumble in her sleep, trying to open her eyes.
A hand covered her heavy eyelids, blocking her body's instinctive struggle. Only her throat rolled slightly and she kept swallowing...
