Sheriff Zhang looked at her suspiciously.
Song Wan Yue took a deep breath, lifted her feet and walked in, “obviously” startled when she saw the second prince on the main seat, “Meet ……”
Not waiting for him to finish, the second prince gave a false hand, “No need.”
The county governor walked to the door, dismissed all the people, and personally guarded the door.
“Miss Song sit.”
Song Wangyue sat down.
The Second Prince lifted the tea jug, flicked the leaves with the lid, deliberated on what to say, and before he could speak, he heard Song Wan Yue ask, “I don’t know if you are calling for my daughter to come ……”
The Second Prince’s fiddling with the tea leaves gave a start, she did not believe that Song Wangyue did not know the purpose of her visit. Since this was the case, and she had to play dumb, it meant that she did not want to be on her side.
He simply didn’t cover up, “This prince is here to find you on purpose.”
“Looking for me?”
The Second Prince put his tea down and looked at her, “Miss Song is so intelligent, she must have guessed the purpose of my search for you, then I will not beat around the bush, as long as Song Si can be put at my disposal, I will ensure that your Song family is safe and sound.”
Song Wan Yue laughed softly, “You have found the wrong person, if you want to make my elder brother work for you, you should go to him, not to me. I am still too young to be the master of my family, let alone my elder brother.”
“Miss Song, why do you pretend to be confused? This prince has investigated clearly, and the Song family all listen to you.”
“You have flattered me, I am just a child, only ten years old after this year, indeed I cannot be the master of my family.”
The Second Prince stared at her.
Song Wangyue didn’t dodge or evade, she just met his gaze.
The county magistrate at the door felt the atmosphere inside the house, and his heart lifted so high that he couldn’t help but hold his breath.
“Is Miss Song not agreeing?”
Song Wan Yue said, “It’s not that I don’t agree, it’s that I can’t be my elder brother’s master. Even if I were his own sister, he wouldn’t necessarily listen to me, let alone the fact that I’m only a cousin, so you’ve really found the wrong person.”
The Second Prince looked at her steadily for a moment and smiled abruptly. He lifted his tea again and took a sip without delay, “Does Miss Song think that no one knows about Qing Yun County?” .
Song Wan Yue’s pupils contracted violently a few times.
The Second Prince saw it in his eyes and knew that he had caught her by the seventh inch. He took two more sips of tea without any urgency before looking at him, his tone also without urgency, “Do you think that if word of what happened that night got out, would the Song family still have peace?”
Song Wangyue’s face changed a few times, and her lips opened, as if she wanted to say something, and then closed them tightly.
If it wasn’t for the incident that night, he wouldn’t have been able to make up his mind to take Song Wangyue in. Song Si was certainly important, but there were many people watching him, and once he turned to himself, he would soon be noticed. The reason why Song Si was mentioned first was just to lower Song Wangyue’s guard.
“The Qingping governor is one of your people?”
Surely clever!
The Second Prince smiled, “Not bad.”
Song Wangyue was silent again.
At the door, the county magistrate didn’t know what the two were playing at, but he sensed that Song Wangyue seemed to be compromising. The thought of what would happen to the Song family if the Second Prince sat in that position was fine, but if he didn’t ……
He couldn’t help but shiver and a cold sweat broke out all over his body.
“What do you want my big brother to do?”
Song Wangyue’s voice rang out, and the magistrate snapped his head up and looked inwards.
The Second Prince’s smile deepened as he once again put down his tea, “He won’t be asked to do anything for the time being, just wait until the critical moment when he contributes.”
“What is considered a crucial moment?”
“Naturally ……”
The second prince placed his hand on his tealight and glanced outside, his dark gaze ……
The Prefect seemed to sense something, so scared that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.
The second prince withdrew his gaze, and his low words reached the county eunuch’s ears word for word, “The time to fight for that position.”
The County Magistrate regretted that he had not been implicated in the Third Prince’s affair, if he had been, he would have been sent to a sh*tty place by this time, naturally he would not have heard these words from the Second Prince and would not have been implicated in the nine clans in the future.
Song Wan Yue’s voice was very smooth, smooth not like what she should have at her age, “This is a big matter, I can’t make the decision, I will go to the capital in a couple of months and personally tell big brother, please also ask the second prince to give some time.”
“Fine.”
……
The second prince came and went in a hurry, and left Qingping County again in just an hour.
Looking at the distant carriage, the county magistrate took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his face. Seeing Song Wan Yue looking calm, as if he did not take what just happened to heart, he gave a pause in his wiping motion, “Miss Song, Miss Song.”
Song Wan Yue looked over and smiled apologetically, “I’ve even bothered Your Excellency.”
The magistrate hurriedly waved his hand, wanting to say that he was fine, but how could he be fine? The Second Prince did not avoid him, he saw him as one of his own, and in future he would have to work for the Second Prince, whether he wanted to or not.
“Your Excellency will only pretend that today’s incident never happened, and don’t say anything to anyone.”
“I know, in the future, if Miss Song has anything to do, just come over to the subordinate, and I will do my best.”
“Thank you very much, Your Excellency.”
The county magistrate waved his hand.
The County Magistrate did not see the carriage, so he called out to Sheriff Zhang to come out and take her back.
The sheriff’s head, Zhang, was also an expert, and when he saw that his lord was personally guarding the entrance to the back of the courthouse, he knew that the person who had come today was not of ordinary status, so he was even more polite to Song Wangyue, sending her all the way to the entrance of the restaurant and watching her go in before turning around and going back.
Song Lin and Xu hadn’t returned yet, so Song Wan Yue went to the account room, looked at the accounts for the past few days and spoke to Lu Xing for a while before the two came over.
Xu followed her back into the room and said, “Qi Ying is sick, she was talking nonsense all night last night. Your father went to get a doctor and I helped her with the medicine before she came back. She went to the mountains knowing she was in such a state, who can blame her?”
“Why didn’t father come to call me?”
“I told your father to come and look for you, but Qi Ying wouldn’t do it, so your father had to go and ask another doctor.”
After a pause, Xu couldn’t help but lower her voice, “I saw that she looked like she was blaming you for her illness, I was so uncomfortable in my heart, if it wasn’t for the fact that she had no one to take care of her, I wouldn’t have helped her boil the medicine.”
Song Wan Yue smiled, put her arm around Xu’s shoulder and told her to sit down, and poured her a cup of hot water and put it in her hand, “Mother, why do you have to be so normal with her? Go back and tell grandmother to tell the family to pay less attention to her in the future.”
