Fragrance Stealer

Seeing that her explanation was well-founded, the doubts on Ren Yingying's brows gradually disappeared, and she said lightly: "After all, paper can't contain fire, so you can take care of it yourself."

Seeing her graceful and calm appearance, Mrs. Ruan didn't know why, she felt a little guilty, she hurriedly left the secret room, and then told Pei'er: "You must take good care of Miss Ren, and don't let her get hurt in the slightest. "

"I know." Pei'er nodded nervously, thinking of Song Qingshu's demon-like figure last night, she shuddered.

"How was the loss last night?" After confirming Ren Yingying's safety, Mrs. Ruan began to take stock of her losses.

"It's not optimistic. Nearly [-]% of the guards died, and even more were injured." Pei'er frowned.

"I was careless. I focused all my attention on these two people, and I didn't take proper precautions," Madam Ruan sighed. "From today onwards, patrols will be strengthened day and night, and any ships approaching the Jinghu will be raised. Be vigilant. When you reach Jiangling ahead, transfer some people from the Ruan family's sub-helm, remember, you must choose those veterans to prevent others from sneaking in."

Mrs. Ruan continued to instruct: "By the way, remember to invite Mr. Song over later. He helped so much yesterday. If I, the master, don't show up again, it will inevitably arouse his suspicion."

Hearing her instructions, Pei'er said with some surprise: "Madam is planning to come back?" After what happened last night, she is really not used to the situation of lacking a backbone, so how can she not be unhappy when she hears that Madam is going to restore her identity.

Mrs. Ruan shook her head and began to change into her own clothes: "It's just to stabilize him temporarily, and I still have to pretend to be Miss Ren in the future, otherwise he will know right away that something happened to Ren Yingying, and we will be finished."

"That's right." Pei'er nodded hastily.

At this time, Mrs. Ruan thought bitterly, she hadn't found out any connection between them and Wu Xi's rebellion, how could she give up like this, otherwise, wouldn't all the sacrifices be in vain?

Thinking of some scenes from last night, she felt a little hot again.

When Pei Er came outside Song Qing Bookstore, he had already woken up and was wondering why Ren Yingying was not there, when he heard Madam Ruan's invitation.

"Mrs. Ruan?" Song Qingshu was planning to use what happened yesterday to find out about her, so he accepted the invitation.When he entered Mrs. Ruan's boudoir, the other party had already removed Ren Yingying's makeup and restored her own appearance.

Mrs. Ruan saw the handsome man in front of her, her heart skipped a beat, she hurriedly suppressed the strange emotions in her heart, and she came forward with her usual smile and bowed: "My concubine thanked you for helping me last night, you are very kind." Great Virtue, I don’t know how to repay you.”

Song Qingshu said at this time: "Why don't you promise me with your body?"

Chapter 1676

Mrs. Ruan never expected him to say such a sentence. She was a little embarrassed about what happened yesterday, but when she heard this sentence, her face instantly turned red.

Before she could figure out how to respond, Song Qingshu had already smiled: "Just kidding with Madam, Madam don't mind."

Madam Ruan was frightened to death, and said angrily: "I hope you will respect yourself."

Song Qingshu smiled slightly, apparently not taking her words to heart, and directly changed the topic: "I don't know why Madam wasn't on the boat at such a dangerous time last night."

"I went to the city to do some private business, but I didn't expect these people to sneak in." Mrs. Ruan was also depressed. Just after Li Daitao's stiff plan was implemented, the other party attacked the door.

Seeing that she didn't mean to do anything, Song Qingshu didn't want to ask, so he could only say: "The enemy's timing is so accurate, madam, be careful there are traitors on board."

Mrs. Ruan nodded: "Thank you for reminding me, my lord. I will pay attention." After being reminded by the other party, she also felt that there was a possibility of an inside thief, so she decided to order Pei'er to investigate carefully later, and to strengthen the room. strict security measures to prevent Ren Yingying from making any mistakes.

"By the way, I saw that those people yesterday were all very skilled, not like ordinary robbers who murdered and robbed you. Does Madam know why they came to you?" Song Qingshu asked while staring at her, trying to get something from her expression Information, he has always suspected that Mrs. Ruan is not simple, but unfortunately there is too little effective information, he has no way of judging.

Seeing him staring at her, Mrs. Ruan couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, as if she could feel his scorching gaze scanning her skin, which made her tremble slightly, and finally noticed that his gaze fell on her. On the red lips, subconsciously thought of what happened last night.

Song Qingshu on the side is inexplicable, why suddenly this Mrs. Ruan showed a coquettish and infinite expression, of course, no matter how narcissistic he is, he will not think that he has only seen a few mature faces. Women will fall in love with him, after all No matter how you look at her, she is not the kind of watery woman.

But don't tell me, this Madam Ruan's shy appearance is really pretty, she is fair and beautiful, her waist is thin and soft, and her red lips are small and charming. Her husband is really a blessing.

"As for the son, I don't know what's going on, and I don't know where I provoked these monsters." Madam Ruan managed to regain her composure and hurriedly replied.

"Oh," Song Qingshu saw that he couldn't find anything to ask, so he could only start from another aspect, "By the way, I don't know who is Madam's husband's family?" The wealthy Yang family married, what happened to Duan Zhengchun, what about Azi and Azhu?

This is not a secret, and Mrs. Ruan didn't mind answering: "My concubine's husband's family is the Yang family in the middle of Shu, Yang Zhenzhong, who was the general judge of Xingyuan Mansion at that time, and the commander of the Da'an Army."

"It turned out to be General Yang." Song Qing wrote strangely. He had heard that the Yang family in Sichuan was a wealthy family. He didn't have any idea at the time, but now he understands that Xingyuan Mansion is also the famous Hanzhong in history. It is the first prefecture in Western Shu, and it is in charge of the gates in the north of Sichuan. Yang Zhenzhong, who controls these two places, is definitely a pivotal figure in the official circles of Central Shu.

"It seems that Sichuan is not peaceful recently." Song Qingshu planned to test her again.

Madam Ruan was worried that she could not find an excuse to inquire about the connection between him and Linghu Chong, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "That's right, there are rumors everywhere that Wu Xi in Sichuan intends to treason, and now the entire Song Dynasty is somewhat panicked."

"Since that's the case, madam is still entering Shu at this time, aren't you afraid that the sheep will go to the tiger's mouth?" Song Qingshu asked.

Mrs. Ruan spat secretly, obviously she wanted to ask him, but he turned her back on him, but she couldn't help but answer: "Who made my concubine husband still in Shuzhong? Shuzhong has been cut off from the outside world for a long time. Wanted to see if he was safe."

Song Qingshu wondered: "I heard that Madam is doing business with the Imperial Merchant this time, and there should be a large amount of goods to be shipped to Sichuan."

"Of course there has to be a cover." Mrs. Ruan's kung fu has returned to normal at this moment, "otherwise it's easy to attract attention by blatantly entering Sichuan."

"But it turns out that it has already attracted people's attention." Song Qingshu thought to himself that you are acting low-key when you enter Shu with such a big fanfare.

"Who would have expected that?" Mrs. Ruan sighed quietly, and immediately asked back, "Master is well-informed, do you know the origins of these people?"

Song Qingshu spread his hands: "Madam, as the world's number one imperial merchant, is well-informed only by traveling all over the world. How dare I play tricks on others."

"I hate it, why do you have to tease me, sir?" Mrs. Ruan subconsciously blurted out, and then she froze. This kind of coquettish connotation was too strong.In fact, she was a bit naughty by nature, so it was normal to use some means like this, but the two of them made her feel ashamed because of her guilty conscience yesterday.

Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, her voice was already tender, a bit childish, but if she acted like a baby on purpose, even a tough man would melt into juice.

"I only know that the leader is Bei Haishi, the military advisor of the Changle Gang. As for the others, Madam needs to investigate by herself." Song Qingshu still decided to reveal something to her. After all, he and Yingying will be on this boat for a while, It is still useful to let her improve her security defense in a targeted manner.

"Thank you, sir." Mrs. Ruan felt a burst of disappointment in her heart, she knew yesterday that it was Bei Haishi.

Looking at her elegant and dignified appearance, Song Qingshu's heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "By the way, I wonder if Madam knows a man named Duan Zhengchun?"

Madam Ruan's heart skipped a beat, but there was a smile on her face: "Dali Zhennan King, do you know this person, why did you suddenly mention him?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of it suddenly." No flaws could be seen on her face, Song Qingshu secretly sighed, this woman is not simple.

Next, the two of them were like a pair of foxes testing each other and chatting with each other, but unfortunately neither of them got any useful information.

When Song Qingshu got up to leave, Madam Ruan also got up and asked Pei Er to see her off: "It is inconvenient for me to send you off as a married woman, and I hope you will forgive me. Pei Er, please send me off."

Song Qingshu nodded slightly, followed Pei'er and walked out, but after walking for a while, seeing that it was not the way back, he couldn't help asking: "Pei'er, did you go wrong?"

Pei'er pursed her lips and smiled: "You didn't go wrong, please come with me, young master."

Song Qingshu was puzzled in his heart, but he was very skilled and bold, so he didn't expect any ambush, so he followed her all the way, and soon came to a well-guarded room.

Pei'er raised the token in his hand, and the guards at the gate let them in. After entering, Pei'er said: "My lord, our Ruan family is an imperial merchant. Zhenbao, the Ruan family can't repay the young master's rescue yesterday, Madam asked Pei'er to bring the young master here, take whatever you like, and just treat it like the Ruan family to express your gratitude."

Song Qingshu was taken aback, he didn't expect this to happen, and said flatly: "It's just a matter of little effort for me, so don't be so polite."

Pei'er hurriedly said: "Although it is a little effort for the young master, it is a life-saving grace for us. The young master must choose a few things and give them to the respected wife." The reason why she brought Song Qingshu here is mainly It was to spare time for his wife to change back to Ren Yingying. If he left so soon, it would be a big deal if he went back and broke his wife's identity.

Song Qingshu was moved by her words, and nodded: "That's fine, then I'll choose a hairpin."

The Ruan family's treasury did have a lot of gold and silver jewels, Song Qingshu didn't even look at it, he only chose a crystal clear jade hairpin from among the pile of jewellery. Not worth mentioning.

And at Song Qingshu's current status, he really doesn't value its value, he chose it just because it looks pleasing to the eye.

"This hairpin will do. Thank you, madam, for me." Song Qingshu waved the jade hairpin in his hand to Pei'er, and then went out by himself. He was anxious to give it to his wife, but he didn't bother to follow Pei'er and write ink slowly.
