"Brother!"
Song Shulan's eyes were red and she wanted to step forward, but suddenly stopped because of fear. She grabbed the dress with both hands and gently stirred it with her fingertips. Her timid look was particularly pitiful.
"You...I thought brother would never come to see me..."
When she spoke, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears filled her eyes for a moment. The pear blossoms and rain were particularly pitiful.
After Song Jinxiu waved the two women in front of the door to leave, he looked at her quietly after entering the room, looking at the pitiful expression on her soft skin, and gradually became a little unhinged under his gaze that had not been seen for a long time. Only then did he speak.
"Lan'er, you have regressed."
"In the past, when you looked pitiful with red eyes, you would be more sincere and your tears would make people feel soft, but now you are too utilitarian and seem too impatient."
The tenderness on Song Shulan's face froze instantly, and her tearful eyes could not hide the shame and annoyance: "Brother, did you come to humiliate me on purpose?"
Song Jinxiu said: "Why do you miss me so much? I said I would love you well, so how can I humiliate you?"
Song Shulan suddenly remembered the scene in prison when the person in front of her grabbed her neck and almost strangled her to death. At that time, his words, "Brother will love you," gave her nightmares for several days.
She trembled all over, her face instantly turned pale, and her look of shame and annoyance was replaced by fear. She suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was no longer the Song eldest son who had been deceived by her.
He is a madman!
Song Shulan did not dare to play tricks with him anymore, and said with some fear: "Brother, I have been very obedient. I...I didn't do anything..."
"I know, Lan'er is very well-behaved."
"..."
Song Shulan trembled and subconsciously took half a step back. She always felt that the current Song Jinxiu was scary.
Song Jinxiu laughed when he saw this, walked aside and sat down and said, "This place seems a bit small, and it's a bit uncomfortable for you to live in."
Song Shulan was about to say that she was not aggrieved, but she was suddenly stunned.
"Do you want to go out?"
"Brother?" Song Shulan was surprised.
Song Jinxiu raised his eyes and looked at her: "Don't be afraid. I know what you wanted to do when you returned to the Song family. But now that the Song family is gone, your dream as a daughter of the Duke's palace cannot be fulfilled. But now there is an opportunity that can make you Do you want to go back to the days when you were in the Duke's Mansion?"
Song Shulan was a little moved when she heard the words, but these words came from Song Jinxiu... She hesitated: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
"Qi Langjun of the Yongshun Prefecture will meet with someone two days later on Tongyue Lake in the western suburbs to go boating and enjoy the lotuses."
Song Shulan's eyes suddenly widened.
Song Jinxiu looked calm: "When you were going to Lingyun Temple from the capital to worship, you fainted on the way. I remember that Mr. Luo Qilang saved you and was quite fond of you."
"At the beginning of the incident in the Song family, he sent someone to visit you in the house. You have always known how to make men soften their hearts, and you also know how to handle the young masters of these powerful families. I think if I can give you a chance, let Mr. Luo Qilang deal with you." It shouldn’t be difficult for you to rekindle an old relationship.”
"Brother, you..."
Song Shulan looked at Song Jinxiu who was speaking with some disbelief. He actually asked him to seduce the concubine of the Yongshun residence. This was the Song Jinxiu who was the most disciplined!
She was both shocked and moved. Seeing Song Jinxiu's calm look, she hesitated and said, "But it's impossible for Luo Yunping to marry me."
"Of course he can't marry you."
The words coming out of Song Jinxiu's mouth were particularly heart-wrenching: "You are the daughter of a traitor, and you are infamous for framing Tang Ning. As your biological mother, it is absolutely impossible for you to remarry a high family. Even if you are a concubine, no one will take the risk, Luo Naturally, Qi Lang will not be so stupid as to put you into the mansion and make Yongshun Uncle's mansion a joke."
"Then you return it!" Song Shulan was annoyed by his words.
Song Jinxiu looked at her: "It's naturally impossible for you to become a wife and concubine, but if you just want to be a canary outside, with your appearance and ability, you should be able to do it easily."
"Song Jinxiu, are you crazy? You actually asked me to be someone else's wife?!" Song Shulan glared angrily.
Song Jinxiu was calm: "What about the outside wife? Your mother was once a outside wife, but she was able to coax my father into thinking about her for many years. He even sacrificed the entire Song Dynasty Duke's palace for her. I think you won't lose to you under your influence. Mother is.”
Seeing Song Shulan's face turning red, he said slowly:
"After you returned to the capital, you seduced Lu Zhinian, tempted Xie Yin in every possible way, and sow a relationship between me and Tang Ning. Not only for glory and wealth, but with your current reputation, no descendant of any official or powerful family in the capital will accept you into the palace. It’s hard to even get close to them.”
"Luo Qilang is your best and last choice now. As long as you can climb up to Uncle Yongshun's mansion and let Luo Qilang fall in love with you, it won't be a big deal even if you are just raised outside. As long as you can hold on tightly Luo Qilang, do you want anything?"
Song Shulan's face kept changing, not only because of the words Song Jinxiu said that humiliated her and her mother-in-law, but also because what he said was exactly the extremely embarrassing situation she was in now.
What she wanted was never to live such a miserable life. Otherwise, why would she have bothered to go to Beijing and try her best to step down on Song Tangning?
She wants to be rich and wealthy, and to be superior to others.
She is willing to do whatever it takes.
"Besides, it's not impossible for the outer chamber to rise to the top. As long as you have enough means, there's no doubt that Luo Qilang can win the Yongshun uncle's mansion for you in the future, and you may not be able to hope to be the uncle's wife."
Song Jinxiu's words were like weights weighing heavily on the balance in Song Shulan's heart, making her feel shaken. Seeing the changes on her face, Song Jinxiu said, "You only have this chance. If you want to go, I will help you make arrangements."
Song Shulan looked at him: "You would be so kind to help me?"
Song Jinxiu said: "I am your brother."
Song Shulan sneered: "Send your sister to a man's bed to be the brother-in-law?"
Song Jinxiu's expression remained unchanged: "If you think so, I can't help it. I just can't bear to see you waste your time trying to find a way out for you. If you don't want to, just pretend I haven't been here."
Although he said this, he seemed to be sure that the person in front of him would agree to him, and his figure sitting there remained motionless.
Song Shulan looked at him for a moment before gritting her teeth: "What do you want?" She paused and sneered: "Don't tell me, you asked me to seduce Luo Qilang. You really have a good intention!"
Song Jinxiu chuckled: "Lan'er is still so smart. It's hard for me to move forward in the court now, and it's extremely difficult to investigate the Lu family's case. Qi Langjun of Yongshun Mansion is close to the fourth prince, so he must know something that others don't know. If Lan'er can help brother solve the Lu family's case, he will be favored by the Holy Spirit, and many people will protect him in the future."
Song Shulan said in a deep voice: "You asked me to help you find out the news?"
"How can you help me? You are also helping yourself." Song Jinxiu said warmly: "If I get better, you will naturally get better too. Besides, if you help me make friends with Luo Qilang, you might be able to save his life. He does what you say."
"Song Jinxiu, you are shameless!!" Song Shulan scolded.
Song Jinxiu was not annoyed at all: "Then you go, or not?"
Song Shulan's face kept changing, and she whispered for a long time: "I'll go!"
She didn't want to stay here forever, and she didn't want to be trapped in this shabby yard for the rest of her life. Besides, as long as she climbed up to Luo Yunping, it was up to her to decide whether to help Song Jinxiu or not. As long as she had a bridge to see people.
In the future, she will definitely want Song Jinxiu to look good! !
Song Jinxiu didn't seem to notice her fleeting look of cruelty, and just laughed: "Okay, you've been taking care of yourself these days. I'll send you there in two days."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. After taking two steps, he said,
"Father, they are leaving Beijing tomorrow. Do you want to see them?"
Song Shulan was indifferent: "What does their appointment have to do with me? I managed to escape. If going to see them reminds me of my identity, how can I seduce Luo Qilang?"
It seemed that because of her broken face, she no longer pretended to be in front of Song Jinxiu.
Seeing Song Shulan's indifference towards Song Hong, Song Jinxiu suddenly found it funny that a man as smart as his father and cruel-hearted could ruin his life for his childhood sweetheart.
But who would have thought that the daughter he cared for in every possible way was nothing more than that.
Song Jinxiu turned around and walked out. When he got outside, he gave the two women some scraps of silver: "You don't have to look at her anymore."
Yinquan was worried: "Langjun, will she run away?"
"Won't."
Now no one in Beijing can help her. If she wants to see the Luo family, she will stay here with peace of mind. She is reluctant to run away.
Song Jinxiu whispered: "How much money do we have left?"
Yinquan said: "Eighty taels."
"Go and get fifty taels, and deliver them to the officer escorting father and the others tomorrow morning. Prepare some clothes, medicine, and food, and sew fifteen taels of silver into them and send them together."
Yinquan opened his mouth. They only had eighty taels of silver. If they gave them out fifty taels and hid another fifteen taels, they would probably have nothing left to buy medicine, food, clothing and clothing.
But it will take some time for Lang Jun to receive his salary, and Lang Jun still has to run errands...
Song Jinxiu comforted him: "Just do as I say, and you won't be short of money in two days."
Although Yinquan was puzzled, he still whispered: "Yes."
