Just after returning home, Shangguan Xizhi heard what Song Jingxiu said.
He frowned and said: "Meng Qingze's economic acumen is indeed great, but he has not made any achievements in business. Perhaps the most important thing is that his political vision is not sharp enough. After all, Meng Qingze was Song Jingyu's confidant, and Now the Song Dynasty has become history."
Shangguan Xizhi knew that it was not appropriate to mention the Song Dynasty in front of Song Jingxiu at this time. After all, Song Jingxiu himself was part of the Song Dynasty.
"It's okay. The Song Dynasty will fall sooner or later. I already understand that there is no need to be so shy about me. Just say it straight, Xizhi. How about this Meng and Meng Qingze?"
Shangguan Xizhi smiled slightly and said softly: "It is true that Meng Qingze's business ability is impeccable, but perhaps his political vision is indeed lacking. After all, politics and business are completely different fields and require different ways of thinking. and strategy. For a businessman, the most important thing is how to gain a competitive advantage in the market, while in politics, a broader vision and more complex thinking are required."
After listening to Shangguan Xizhi's words, Song Jingxiu nodded slightly, with a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.
She deeply understood that as a member of the Song Dynasty, she had witnessed the rise and fall of the entire dynasty. As a close confidant of her brother, Meng Qingze was once the backbone of the dynasty, but now he has become a part of history.
"Perhaps, Meng Qingze is destined to be unable to achieve anything in politics." Song Jingxiu whispered to himself, "His talents and abilities are destined to only shine in the business field. Perhaps, for him, this is also a kind of luck. "
Shangguan Xizhi listened quietly, and his understanding and respect for Song Jingxiu deepened in his heart. He knew that as a woman with a strong family background, Song Jingxiu had already accepted reality and understood the difference between Zhongzhou and Tianqi.
And her evaluation of Meng Qingze is also a kind of recognition and appreciation for him.
"However, now is not the time to discuss the past." Shangguan Xizhi broke the silence with a smile, "Although Meng Qingze has not made any achievements in politics, his talent in business cannot be underestimated. I can introduce him to His Majesty."
"Although this Meng Qingze is loyal to our Song Dynasty, I still ask my husband to appoint people on their merits. I will not force my husband to use him just because he is a person who strives to protect the Song Dynasty."
Shangguan Xizhi listened quietly, and his understanding and respect for Song Jingxiu deepened in his heart.
He knew that as a subjugated princess, Song Jingxiu had already accepted the reality, and her evaluation of Meng Qingze was also a kind of recognition and appreciation for him.
"My wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for?" Shangguan Xizhi broke the silence with a smile.
…
The Yang family in Zhongzhou.
Li Mengxue looked at the unhappy Yang Liulang and snatched the wine glass from his hand: "Now that Apocalypse has unified all countries, why do you need to be sad here?"
Yang Liulang said: "What do you, a woman, know?"
Li Mengxue sneered: "I don't understand. I don't understand that our Yang family will be in disaster because of you. You insisted on following Song Jingrong in the first place. What was the result?"
"Shut up, you have no place to speak here!" Yang Liulang said angrily.
Li Mengxue raised her eyebrows and raised a provocative smile at the corner of her mouth: "Oh, do I still need your permission to speak? Who do you think you are?"
Yang Liulang clenched his fists tightly, a look of pain flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart: "You are right, I am the one who brought it upon myself. I was the one who dragged down the Yang family."
Li Mengxue looked at his clenched fists. The ridicule in his eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced by a trace of concern: "Liu Lang, don't blame yourself too much. After all, you are only a young man. Who doesn't make mistakes?"
Yang Liulang raised his head suddenly, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Thank you for your understanding, Mengxue."
Li Mengxue shook her head gently, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Actually, I have always understood your concerns. You chose this difficult path for the honor of your family and to protect the peace of Zhongzhou. But, you Have you ever thought about whether your heart can really withstand such pressure?"
Yang Liulang remained silent, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He once thought that he could shoulder the mission of the entire Yang family, but the cruel reality made him gradually understand that he was not an invincible hero.
Li Mengxue sighed softly, walked to Yang Liulang, and patted his shoulder gently: "Liu Lang, maybe what you need is not to bear the burden blindly, but to find someone to talk to. Don't put all the pain in your hands. Bury it deep in your heart and let yourself become lonely and helpless.”
Yang Liulang nodded silently and looked at Li Mengxue gratefully.
He finally understood that he was not alone and that he had someone who truly cared about him.
In this way, Yang Liulang and Li Mengxue sat quietly in the garden of the Yang family in Zhongzhou, confiding to each other their inner pain and confusion.
They found that in each other's company, the pain seemed to become less heavy, and the confusion began to gradually become clear.
The road ahead is still bumpy, but at least they are no longer alone.
They decided that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, they would hold each other's hands tightly and face them together. Because they firmly believe that as long as they have love in their hearts, they can overcome all difficulties and find their own firmness and courage again.
…
Zhongzhou, prison.
The mistress of the Qian family looked at Qian Chuwan and slapped Qian Chuwan: "You little hooves, you have done these things, but it has caused us so much trouble!"
Qian Chuwan covered her face and said angrily: "Have I harmed you? Who insisted on following King Feng and Song Jingrong in the first place, and now you say that I am the one who harmed the whole family? Mrs. Qian is kidding!"
Mrs. Qian sneered, with deep disdain in her eyes: "You still dare to talk back to me? Who do you think you are? You are just an unknown person, and you relied on our Qian family to marry Song Jingrong. But what about you? ? With Liu Xiangchen’s private message, you didn’t save our Qian family and only cared about yourself!”
Qian Chuwan gritted her teeth and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "I am not indifferent. I married Song Jingrong not out of selfish motives, but for the benefit of the family. This was all done by you. Now you blame me. I want to join the court." As an official, don’t you understand that this is for the long-term development of our family?”
Mrs. Qian smiled coldly, her eyes full of distrust, "Do you think I don't know your true purpose? Do you think you can hide it from me? You are just fighting for the inheritance of the family. You want to pass Liu Qingge's power to control the entire Qian family, right?"
