Seeing Fang Yi’s resentful eyes as she left, Song Qingshu’s heart trembled.
‘If the women builds up too much resentment, I will be in trouble…’
A few days ago, Song Qingshu went to bring Bing Xue’er and Miao Ruolan, who had been waiting at an inn in a nearby town. Bing Xue’er agreed at first, but when she heard that Zhou Zhiruo was also present, she immediately refused.
It turned out that Bing Xue’er was bothered about her as a widow. So she really couldn’t bear to face Zhou Zhiruo, who was the official wife. Bing Xue’er had previously heard that Miao Ruolan’s mother was in Yanjing City, so she volunteered to take Miao Ruolan to meet her mother first.
Song Qingshu felt extremely reluctant to let go, but if Bing Xue’er wanted to leave, he had no choice but to let her go.
Not long after Ah Jiu led everyone from Prince Mu’s Mansion away, Song Qingshu sighed due to his troubles.
Meanwhile, it just so happened that a group of people from the Heaven and Earth Society led by Chen Jinnan was passing by. When he saw Song Qingshu, his eyes lit up, and he asked everyone from the Heaven and Earth Society to find a place to sit first, while he approached Song Qingshu.
“We haven’t seen each other for several months, Young Master Song is still as charming as ever.” Chen Jinnan cupped his hands and said with a smile.
When Song Qingshu and he rescued Wei Xiaobao from the hands of the Blood Saber Elder and others, Chen Jinnan had a favorable impression of the man. Not long ago, when he heard about Song Qingshu’s feat of assassinating Kangxi, he began to admire him even more, so when he saw Song Qingshu, he couldn’t help coming over to greet him.
“Leader Chen, you are very polite.” Song Qingshu quickly stood up with a smile and returned the greeting.
After the two chatted for a while, Chen Jinnan suddenly lowered his voice and said, “Does Young Master Song have any problems with Red Flower Society?”
Song Qingshu was startled, and then he remembered that the Heaven and Earth Society and Red Flower Society always had a close relationship, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “When I was undercover in the Forbidden City, I just happened to hinder the Red Flower Society’s assassination attempt.”
Chen Jinnan gave him a strange look, “Why did the Young Master stop them in the first place? It is said that they could kill the Invader Emperor then and there.”
As the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, he knew exactly what happened in the Forbidden City that day. At that time, the Red Flower Society was about to succeed, but Song Qingshu intervened to stop them. However, Song Qingshu himself went to assassinate Kangxi sometime later, but failed. So Chen Jinnan couldn’t help but become suspicious. .
Song Qingshu’s heart trembled, but his face showed no expression, “The Leader Chen is unaware. I didn’t stop the Red Flower Society that time, but I wanted to save them.”
“Oh?” Chen Jinnan’s expression changed, “I would like to hear the details.”
Song Qingshu cleared his throat and began to bullsh1t, “During the time when I was undercover in the palace, I found out that there was a team of first-rate masters secretly guarding Kangxi. Leader Chen should have heard of Yu Zhenzi’s name, right?”
Chen Jinnan nodded, “As a guest of Prince Bao’s Mansion, many masters of Heaven and Earth Society and Red Flower Society have fallen into the hands of this demon.”
“The leader of the secret guards killed a master like Yu Zhenzi in one move, he seems to be called Wei Mo. You can imagine the martial arts of those secret guards.” Song Qingshu began to weave a mixture of truth and lies.
“This Chen had thought that the matter of the secret guards was just groundless rumors, but I didn’t expect it to be true.” As the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, Chen Jinnan had more or less heard of the existence of the guards.
“That’s right.” Song Qingshu nodded and continued to talk, “These people will only take action at the last moment. And when they do, they will never leave anyone alive because they want to maintain the secret of their identities.”
“On the surface, it looked like the assassination attempt of the Red Flower Society was about to succeed, but I actually noticed that the secret guards were already preparing to take action. I knew in my heart that if they took action, the entire Red Flower Society would be annihilated, so I had no choice but to take action first, and some members of the Society was sacrificed in the process. I knew I couldn’t save them all, but I saved most of them, and later I quietly rescued them from the prison.”
“It was indeed you who rescued them from the prison, but…” Chen Jinnan nodded secretly, then suddenly changed the subject, with a strange look on his face, “According to Fourth Master Wen, it seems that you took advantage of this to b1ackmail his wife?”
Song Qingshu knew that the people in the Red Flower Society hated him to the core, so they would definitely try to pour dirty water on him every chance they got…not to mention that it wasn’t really an unjust accusation.
Thinking of Luo Bing’s snow-white body and her charming gestures, Song Qingshu’s lower abdomen felt hot. He wondered how she was doing now after following that girl Li Yuanzhi home.
Song Qingshu quickly came to his senses, and seeing that Chen Jinnan was still waiting for his reply, he quickly explained, “Kangxi is very smart. How could he not know about the things happening in the palace? I had to pretend to be greedy for beauty, and use it to let those people from the Red Flower Society go. Kangxi turned a blind eye because he thought of my past achievements.”
“So that’s it. It seems that the situation was really complicated.” Chen Jinnan suddenly realized, but immediately inquired, “If that is the case, you only needed to explain it to the heads of the Red Flower Society, so why did you act that way in Shengjing.”
Chen Jinnan secretly sighed.
Song Qingshu kil1ed Taoist Wuchen from the Red Flower Society, and had already formed a b1ood feud with several other leaders. Thinking that both sides were righteous anti-Qing people, but they were fighting among themselves first, it was really a matter of huge headache.
Song Qingshu sighed, “Leader Chen is a gentleman. This Song could not do such things as speaking ill of people behind their backs. However, I am worried that you will be harmed by the traitors, so I have to inform you of a matter.”
“Please explain.” Chen Jinnan was shocked.
“Does Leader Chen know that Yu Wanting of the Red Flower Society is not dead? He actually wanted his son to be the emperor…” Song Qingshu roughly described Yu Wanting’s conspiracy.
“Is this true?” Chen Jinnan was extremely shocked.
“This is what Yu Yutong told me before he died…” Song Qingshu then recounted the story of Yu Yutong being silenced by Yu Wanting. “The Leader Chen will know the truth of this matter by following those clues.”
Yu Wanting followed Lu Buwei’s example and designed to give his lover to Prince Yong, so that his son could take over their bloodline. The scheme was indeed quite flawless, but as long as the ins and outs were known, there would always be clues to be found.
The Qian and Chen family still existed in Haining, and there was also the matter of Hongli’s biological mother, Qian Zhenhuan, later being adopted as the daughter of Lingzhu, the minister of the Xianghuang Banner and changing her name. With enough investigation, you can always find something out.
“Okay, I will start investigating this matter.” Although the Red Flower Society and Song Qingshu each insisted on their side of the story, but Chen Jinnan subconsciously chose to believe Song Qingshu considering the matter of Yu Wanting.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to remind him, ” Young Master Song, you must be careful. This time the Red Flower Society has found a top master from Kunlun through Chen Jialuo’s master Yuan Shixiao, which may be detrimental to the Young Master.”
Song Qingshu didn’t care. He didn’t believe that the Red Flower Society could find any master that would be able to harm him, but since it was Chen Jinnan’s reminder, he didn’t dare to ignore it, “May I know what the master’s name is?”
Chen Jinnan thought for a while and lightly said, “She seems to be called Ah Qing.”
