Chapter 67
Qian Tong had a dream.
In her dream, a man and a woman were in a passionate love affair. She and the young man rubbed their ears and cheeks, their lips intertwined, in an utterly passionate embrace... His kisses were sometimes fast, sometimes slow. A thread of his refreshing, silky scent was crushed and passed through their lips. Her breathing became disordered, her head felt groggy, and she was forced to lose herself in it...
My mouth is dry and my lips hurt...
This was how Qian Tong felt when she was about to wake up. She subconsciously pursed her lips and realized that they were very thick and slightly numb. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw a tent ceiling.
After a few moments of silence, everything that happened last night came back to my mind.
Where is she?
Qian Tong's eyes widened, and he sat up straight from the bed. He looked around and made sure that he was not sleeping on the chaise longue where he had lain down last night, but on a real bed, covered with a light blue silk quilt.
Her expression froze, and her mind was already turning over and over again.
Although she had no memory of what happened last night, she seemed to be sleeping in Song Shiliao's bed...
Song Shile is no longer here.
Qian Tong hurriedly touched his lips, confirming the tingling sensation was still there. He knew it wasn't just a dream, and his heart sank, then felt cold...
What did she do?!
Qian Tong clutched his head, desperate and panicked. After a long while without hearing any sound, Qian Tong lifted the blanket and tried to call out, "Is...Is there...Is there?"
When no one responded, she stood up, picked up her boots by the bed, and walked outside.
The door that was locked last night was now open, and the strong light flooded into her eyes, making her pupils dizzy. She quickly turned her head away and hid, her heart hanging in the air again.
It's definitely not morning at this hour.
At least it's noon.
Last night, the secret guard named Meng Qing came in and said, "Qiniang, are you awake? The master left a message, telling you to eat something when you wake up. If you have no appetite, go find him."
We really need to find him.
She had to find out what happened last night. She raised her hand to fix her hair and asked Meng Qing, "Where is he?"
When she got up, her long black hair was already loose, but now she tied it neatly into a knot and held it in her hand before looking around for the hairpin that she had lost somewhere last night.
As she was looking for it, Meng Qing handed her a box and said, "The master is in the dungeon. There are no maids here. There is no one to help Qi Niang dress up. The master asked his servants to buy a hairband. Qi Niang can use it as it is."
She had come here last night with Madam Park and without Fu Yin, but she hadn't expected to stay overnight, much less...
She suddenly asked Meng Qing, "Did you hear anything last night?" For example, if she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, walked to the bedroom, knocked Shile down, and kissed him, their secret guards had sharp ears and would definitely hear any movement in the master's room. She wanted to know, was Shile angry last night? Or did he resist?
Meng Qing lowered his head and replied, "Seventh Lady, I didn't hear anything."
That means being silenced!
See, she said that if the two of them stayed in the same room, something bad would happen, and Song Shile's reputation would be in jeopardy. Qian Tong took the box from his hand, and inside was a light blue ribbon.
She tied her hair in a hurry and had no time to eat. She rushed to the dungeon to find the world.
She had lived in the main courtyard of the prefectural government and had also stayed in the dungeon. Now she was really familiar with the place. When she went there, Wang Zhaozheng led his soldiers to guard the entrance of the dungeon.
Seeing her coming from afar, Wang Zhao immediately lowered his head and pretended not to see her.
He couldn't see Qian Tong, but Qian Tong could see him. He didn't feel awkward or embarrassed at all about appearing here at this hour. When he arrived, he took the initiative to greet Wang Zhao: "Hello, Lord Wang."
Wang Zhao tried several times but didn't raise his head. He just replied, "Mother Qian."
Qian Tong was unaware of his inner struggle. After greeting him and seeing that no one was trying to stop him, he swaggered down into the dungeon.
The second time she came back, she walked straight in without anyone to lead the way. When she was almost at the end, she saw the guards standing guard there and faintly heard a curse coming from inside, "Bullshit! Your Park family has never resold gunpowder?! Before the court came, Park Er went to the sea to blow up things every now and then. Could it be fireworks? Who are you trying to fool? Do you think the Song Dynasty is easy to fool?"
It’s Lu Daozhong.
Qian Tong couldn't help laughing. So the cells of the four major families were arranged together?
First it was the Cui family, then the Lu family, then her Qian family, and now it is the third wife of the Park family. People from the four major families have all been to the dungeon.
Qian Tong quickly found Song Shi.
He was sitting on an official hat chair with his back to her. Perhaps he noticed the movement behind him, and he glanced sideways slightly, only turning his eyes to her without turning back completely.
Then he turned back and looked at the third wife of the Park family who was imprisoned in the dungeon in front of him.
Compared to the treatment of the other three families, the Third Lady was not treated so lightly. She was held up and her hands and feet were tied, with several whip marks on her body, her clothes were torn and bloodstained. Seeing Lu Daozhong suddenly interrupt, the Third Lady was weak but her momentum was not inferior. She shouted angrily: "Shut up, who the hell do you think you are!"
In the past, whenever the Third Lady was around, it would never be Lu Daozhong's turn to interrupt.
The Third Lady raised her head with great effort and said to Song Yunzhi who was sitting outside the prison door: "Now that I have fallen into the hands of the world, I am completely at the mercy of the world. You can use whatever means you want. I can bear it..."
"It's over." Qian Tongren had already arrived.
head.
The face was still the same, still handsome and holy, but something was obviously wrong today. Qian Tong soon discovered the clue. His face was disfigured, and there was a broken piece on his lower lip that had turned into a blood scab.
Qian Tong seemed to be fixed there by something, staring at his lips, not moving for a long time. There was no need to ask anymore, this was not a dream, she really had offended the world last night.
Bite like this...
How crazy she must be.
Compared to her astonishment, he glanced at her and then silently looked away. It was this silent look that made him feel confused.
But how did she get into his bed? Why can't she remember anything...
The third lady in front of her stared at her intently, so excited that the shackles on her hands jingled loudly!
Wasn't she going to kill Song Shi and live with her nephew forever? How could she appear here so brazenly?
When she was caught red-handed by Shen Jiagong who was lying in ambush in the dungeon that night, she knew that she had fallen into the trap set by Qian Tong, who hated her for wanting to kill her.
But she didn't expect that after she told Song Shile all the truth, Qian Tong could still stand beside Song Shile safely.
The Third Madam's eyes searched the two men's faces, and she slowly realized something. She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sneered, "Qian Tong, I really underestimated you. Does my eldest nephew know that you are like this?"
What does she look like?
She was dressed neatly and had her hair combed, so what could be wrong?
Qian Tong never thought that he would see Mrs. Park San again. After all, she was imprisoned because of his own threats and intimidation, and he tricked her into the jail with his own hands.
Now that the truth is out, it's somewhat awkward for the two to meet.
As expected, the Third Lady began her revenge. "Didn't you love my eldest nephew wholeheartedly? Why, after meeting Song Shile, are you trying to cling to the rich and powerful again?" The Third Lady sarcastically said, "I thought you were a man of integrity. Back then, in order to elope with my eldest nephew, you were willing to give up your position as head of the family. You knelt in the ancestral hall and received twenty strokes of the cane from the old lady, yet you still refused to repent. You insisted on coming out with injuries all over your body and ran to the door of our Pu family, claiming that you would not leave until you saw Mingyi..."
When she was halfway through her words, Qian Tong felt two pairs of gazes as cold as ice falling on her face.
She is no longer worthy of Shi, and she is hooking up with Shi when she is thinking of someone else. The two have completely different meanings.
Besides, she had just climbed into his bed last night.
The Third Madam's words almost made her appear to be a fickle and opportunistic woman. Qian Tong didn't understand why she was still so talkative when she was about to die.
Qian Tong said, "It's such an old story that even I have forgotten it. I wonder if Third Madam still remembers it."
"An old story?" The Third Madam said, "This is an old story. The last time Qian Niang came to Haizhou, she and my eldest nephew were locked in a room for a day and two nights. When she came out, she was holding hands and said in front of me and the First Madam that your old love had rekindled and that she planned to kill Song Shi and then marry my eldest nephew. This is also an old story?"
Why is she still angry? Qian Tong suddenly exploded and rushed in, "This rotten mouth of yours, I'm going to tear it apart..."
"return!"
Just as she rushed to the door, she was stopped by a cold voice behind her.
Qian Tong stopped abruptly at the door.
The Third Madam laughed triumphantly, unable to stop, "Song Shilao, today you should see clearly what kind of woman she is..."
She was laughing happily when Lu Daozhong interrupted again, "Qiniang!"
Although Lu Daozhong didn't know the secrets between Qian Niangle and Song Shile, he was a grandfather after all. After listening for a long time, he realized that Mrs. Park was trying to sow discord between them. He was even more anxious than Qian Tong and reminded them, "Qi Niangle, explain yourself quickly!"
Qian Tong: “…”
How can she still rely on her old relationship with the Duke to maintain her relationship with the Park family?
But if she didn't make it clear today, she probably wouldn't be able to leave, and might have to stay and keep the Third Madam company. Qian Tong could only solve the current dilemma first, "Third Madam, don't talk nonsense. I have a clean slate with Grand Duke Park."
The Third Madam laughed even louder. "Isn't it you, Qian Qinniang, who begged to be engaged to my Pu family? How can you be innocent?"
Qian Tong said coldly, "It was you who locked the door and locked me in. If I didn't agree to kill Shi Le, you planned to lock me up with Da Gong Le in the house forever, ruining my reputation and forcing the Qian family to come to us. As the Qian family's seventh son-in-law, Song Shi Le can't just ignore it. Once he arrives and witnesses my affair with Da Gong Le, and leaves the Qian family, I, Qian Tong, will forever be considered unfaithful and unrighteous in his eyes."
"So, I pleaded with the Grand Duke to pretend to agree to a marriage contract with me."
Now that things have come to this, Qian Tong has nothing to hide anymore. "How and in what manner Song Shile leaves my Qian family is not for you to decide!"
Qian Tong also sneered, "Mrs. Park San is trapped in her own trap. Even now, don't you understand?"
The third lady looked at her in surprise.
Qian Tong told her, "I stopped liking Park Seung-woo two years ago." She said, "You Park family members insulted me one by one, and I still miss him?"
She smiled, her tone extremely disdainful: "I'm not a cheapskate."
She was standing at the door, and the Third Lady could clearly see the coldness on her face. At this moment, a panic rose in her heart. She had no sense of justice in her heart...
Then she would stand on the Pu family's side as a fake, and stand on the world's side as a real one.
The third lady's heart sank.
Are they really planning to target the Park family? Are they going to attack the Park family's rivals? The third wife raised her eyes and looked at Song Yunzhi sitting in the official hat chair in front. His expression was as bright as the moon and clear frost, and he was always calm.
From the very beginning, he was targeting the Park family?
She wants to see the eldest lady, she wants to see the grand duke!
"Let me out! Is there anyone here?" The Third Madam suddenly went crazy, shaking the shackles on her hands and feet. "Is there anyone from my Park family here? Please take a letter to the Park family..."
Before she could finish her words, the officer beside her stuffed a ball of cloth into her mouth, and then whipped her with the whip in his hand without mercy, again and again, until her skin was torn and flesh was exposed.
Qian Tong took a quick look and turned around.
A life-and-death struggle often depends on just a word. If she had not told the truth just now, would she be the one being beaten now?
It should be.
She subconsciously touched her arm, and Song Yunzhi just stood up and looked over. Qian Tong should have been scared, but after seeing the obvious scar on his lip, her eyes were filled with guilt.
Song Yunzhi walked up to her and asked softly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
He didn't mention a single word about what had just happened, as if that thrilling confrontation had never happened.
But Qian Tong knew that it was because she had explained it clearly. He regretted it more than once. If he had known she would not come in, it would be okay to wait outside for a while.
Qian Tong nodded.
"Let's talk outside." Song Shile walked in front and led her out.
As the two left, they could still hear the cracking of whips and Lu Daozhong's delighted laughter behind them, "Madam, my son, my dear grandson, did you see that? The person who hurt you has received retribution..."
——
Qian Tong came in in a hurry just now, vowing to find out what happened last night. Now that he came out, his steps were much slower.
Since he already knew that his engagement with Park Dae-ryeo was a fake one, after what happened last night, given Song Se-ryeo's serious and responsible personality, he would definitely bring up their previous engagement again.
After leaving the dungeon and walking a long distance, seeing that she was still hesitant to speak, Song Yunzhi asked again, "What do you want from me?"
He stopped, and Qian Tong stopped too. She had no memory of what happened last night. She wanted to know, but didn't want to know at the same time. She hesitated and said, "Yesterday, last night I..."
Why don’t we just forget it?
She was a heartless woman.
Seeing that she didn't continue for a while, Song Yunzhi took the initiative to ask, "How was it last night?"
Qian Tong noticed that he didn't seem angry about it. If she admitted it, the pure-hearted Song Shile would definitely be responsible for her.
But she doesn't want to be responsible.
She should just be a heartless woman. Qian Tong looked up and smiled at him, "Nothing, I just had a dream last night. Song Shile's room is really a good place to sleep... By the way, I haven't told Shile that I have sleepwalking since I was a child."
