Chapter 21 Success, Song Chi is determined



Song Chi walked out of the room and into the corridor, but he didn't hear Liang Qingwu's whispers. He had to return to the banquet as soon as possible, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.

If the news of Liang Qingwu losing her virginity were to get out, he would really be dead.

Liang Qingwu has a good figure, good looks and status, and those who pursue her line up all the way to Nanyan. It is said that even the second prince Mu Yunxiu is pursuing her.

If people knew that it was a little servant like me who took Liang Qingwu's blood... men's jealousy, even Jesus couldn't save me.

Of course, the angriest person must be Song Ming. The father and son had the audacity to drug Liang Qingwu, but in the end he took advantage of her.

If Song Ming knew that I had accomplished what he hadn't, I wonder what he would feel. I'm afraid he would be so angry that he would die...

It must be kept secret first and must not be known to outsiders. This is Liang Qingwu's request and also the reality he has to face.

A wife is like money. You can only keep her if you have the ability. If you don’t have the ability, both your wife and money will belong to someone else.

Although what Liang Qingwu said was unpleasant, it was also realistic.

Song Chi was not discouraged, and what he said was not just the boasting of a young man. As a time traveler, how could he not be confident?

What Liang Qingwu said to him was what he had said to others.

If you excel in study, you will become an official. The road that was not completed in the previous life will be continued in this life. In ancient times, if you wanted to make a name for yourself, the best way was to take the imperial examination and become an official. This is also the path that Song Chi wants to take!

When he was a high-ranking official, he asked Liang Qingwu to perform a striptease for him. Perhaps because of her martial arts training, Liang Qingwu had an excellent figure, with a curvy figure, plump and firm body.

Song Chi walked quickly towards the banquet hall, reminiscing about the past. It had been quite some time since he came out. He thought Shen Liangcai must have been anxiously looking for him. The corridor was quiet, and he unconsciously quickened his pace.

"here......."

As soon as he arrived at the door of the banquet hall, he saw Shen Liangcai waving at him.

Song Chi walked over and asked in confusion, "Prince, why did you come out?"

"It wasn't just me who came out, everyone else left the banquet."

"Leaving the banquet? Is it over?"

"right."

Shen Liangcai said, "Not long after you left, Song Ming returned to the banquet in a daze. I don't know what he said to the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister directly dismissed the banquet and asked everyone to leave."

"So that's how it is."

Song Chi pretended to be surprised, but he sneered in his heart. Song Ming failed to act at the last minute. He wanted to make a fait accompli, but in the end, he didn't even put the rice in the pot. This was a big disaster, and he had to prepare to face Liang Qingwu's anger.

Song Shiwen was feeling guilty and afraid that Liang Qingwu would embarrass him in public and damage his image as the Prime Minister, so he ended the banquet early.

There's going to be a good show to watch, but I have to get out of here early. Liang Qingwu thinks I'm not much better than Song Ming.

"Let's go back."

A deep voice sounded, and Song Chi was startled. Then he saw Shen Chong in the dark, "You can become invisible, right?"

"My Lord."

Song Chi greeted them, no longer as humble as before. He had already made up his mind to leave the Shen family after the county examination was over. What future could he have as a book boy?

"If you don't make a sound, it's nothing. But when you do, it's amazing. I underestimated you."

Shen Chong looked at Song Chi in a low voice. Even if a person suddenly became enlightened, it was impossible for him to change so much. The only explanation was that he had been hiding his incompetence before. He didn't want to ask the reason. Everyone has their own secrets.

Song Chi didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Some things cannot be explained and he really hopes that there will be such a misunderstanding.

"But you're still too impulsive. If you want to hide your abilities, you should hide them until you're strong enough. You really stole the show tonight, but you've offended the Prime Minister and the Han family..."

Shen Chong said in a low voice: "The female commander has just been named Marquis of Wu, and her background is not deep. She may not be able to protect you... If you offend the Han family, you will not be able to gain a foothold in Ning'an, and you will not be able to live in peace in the Great Zhou..."

"In life, there are always things to do and people to offend. Whoever stands in my way, I will destroy him!"

The extremely calm voice made Shen Chong shudder, and made him wonder, could the difference between a person before and after really be so huge?

The Song Chi in front of him felt too unfamiliar to him.

"Let's go."

After a moment of surprise, Shen Chong continued, "The county exam in three days will be your first test. Ji County Magistrate Bai Yong obeys the Han family's orders, and the prefect Zhou Zhengan also has a very good relationship with Han Yu. Even if you are truly talented enough to pass the exam, they can still make you fail. Then tonight's limelight will become a joke."

Shen Chong sighed again.

"The Shen family is now in a difficult situation. Although I am a marquis, I am only a captain at the city gate. To put it bluntly, I am just a gatekeeper. I can't help you at all."

Song Chi heard the bitterness in Shen Chong's tone. The down-and-out nobles were worse than dogs, which was vividly demonstrated in Shen Chong. Under the background of the Great Zhou Dynasty emphasizing culture over military affairs and civil officials being in power, these nobles with military merits were marginalized and oppressed, and their lives were extremely difficult.

After Song Shiwen became the Prime Minister, in order to centralize power, he implemented the policy of reducing titles. He was only left with an empty title, and now even the empty title is being taken away. He really left no way out.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Song Chi clasped his fists.

It was quite rare to hear such a sentence, considering that before this, Shen Chong was thinking about how to kick him out of the house.

"Let's go back."

The three of them left the government office together. It was already pitch dark. Song Chi said, "My Lord, Prince, I want to go home tonight."

"Old Wang, take Song Chi home." Shen Chong directly instructed the coachman.

This made Song Chi flattered. In the past, he didn't even have the qualifications to ride in a carriage, but now Shen Chong actually wanted to use his own private car to take him home. It turned out that he had earned his reputation by doing this.

"No, no, I can go back by myself." Song Chi waved his hands hurriedly.

Shen Liangcai pushed Song Chi towards the carriage and said, "How can you go back so late? Father and I will find another one."

It was hard to refuse such a kind offer, so Song Chi declined three times before finally getting on the carriage. He was abandoned in childhood and had been raised by his uncle. His uncle's house was on the edge of the city, far away from the government office, and it was unknown how long it would take to walk back.

Watching the carriage drive away, Shen Liangcai asked, "You won't expel Song Chi from the house again, will you?"

Shen Chong shook his head and said, "Right now it's not a question of expelling him from the house, but whether he is willing to stay."

"You mean?"

"I underestimated him before. This boy has great ambitions and may achieve great things in the future. Perhaps the prosperity of our Shen family depends on him."

Shen Chong paused and said, "No, I benefited from his influence right then and there. Song Chi performed well at the banquet and was appreciated by the female commander, so she gave my Shen family a chance."

"Yeah?"

Shen Liangcai asked in surprise: "What opportunity?"
