Did the three people not far away hear Song Yusheng's words without saying a word? What does he mean?
The father of their family is a high-ranking official of the third or fourth grade after all. It is no exaggeration to walk sideways in Baishan Town. Why on earth does this person of unknown origin dare to reject them. Besides, Jiang Cai and the others clearly helped him, but not only did he not repay the favor, he even said such things!
What happened during a meal? It could kill him.
Even though Song Yusheng's words sounded quite helpless, they sounded a bit provocative in Lin Sujian's ears. Lin Sujian's eyes darkened a bit and he raised his voice and asked : "What does this young master mean by this?" Did we ever offend you?"
Lin Sujian was already good-tempered. Zhang Chenghu had a bit of a bad temper and strode forward. Seeing his menacing look, Zhang Ruhuan hurriedly stopped him. .
In the end, Zhang Chenghu was afraid of hurting Zhang Ruhuan and did not move forward. He just pointed at Song Yusheng and said: "How can you repay kindness with hatred? You look like a human and a dog, can you still be a human being?! We invite you to have a meal, that's all I'm giving you shame, how dare you say such things!"
Zhang Chenghu has never seen someone as shameless as Song Yusheng, and he was so angry that he almost cursed.
Song Yusheng turned around and looked at them, with a faint smile on his lips, and said warmly: "Why don't I dare to say such things? It's just to refuse your invitation. It’s just dinner together, is it so unbearable?”
Using the most gentle tone, he said the most hurtful words.
His calmness and gentleness made them look more like clowns.
Song Yusheng's words hit the mark, and Zhang Chenghu felt that no one could refuse them, not to mention that they had helped him just now. He should naturally feel that Wen Chu and the others should agree, even if they are not willing, they should agree.
So, when Song Yusheng expressed his unwillingness, he felt as if he had heard a big joke and felt that they were too disrespectful.
Their power is much higher than that of Wen Chu, and they are not on the same level as her, so even if Wen Chu doesn't want to go, he can't say no.
This is not an invitation, this is disguised coercion.
Seeing that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction, Wen Chu wanted to come forward to smooth things over, "Isn't it just a matter of a meal? There is no need to make such a fuss!"
Lin Sujian stopped looking at Song Yusheng and moved his eyes towards Wen Chu.
"Wen Chu, I just ask you, are you willing?"
Lin Sujian had never called him by his first name like this. Wen Chu could tell that his tone was not kind, and she hesitated. Maybe, she can't afford to offend anyone here!
She can't afford to offend Lin Sujian now, and she can't afford to offend Song Yusheng in the future.
She wanted to open her mouth to talk to Xini, but she heard Song Yusheng say, "She doesn't want to."
Before Wen Chu could react, he grabbed his wrist and strode away from here.
Lin Sujian looked at the back of the two people leaving, the fan in his hand was broken, and his eyes were so heavy that they seemed to drip water.
This incident completely offended those three people.

Wen Chu and Song Yusheng were speechless all the way because of what happened just now, so they bought some food and went home.
The moon was sparse, the path home was bright and quiet, and the night breeze at this time of the year was the most comfortable, but it could not dissipate the sadness in Wen Chu's heart.
She walked behind Song Yusheng, her voice a little dull, "You shouldn't have been like this just now, we can talk about it if you have anything to say."
There was no complaint in her words. With the taste inside, Song Yusheng pursed his lips tightly. After a long time, he asked: "So, you are willing to go with them. Are you blaming me now?"
Isn't she blaming herself for stopping her words now? Her?
Song Yusheng's voice was filled with a refreshing coldness at this moment. Wen Chu said hurriedly: "How could I ever blame you! I just thought that it would be good to go out and make good friends. You would offend them like that. It’s clear, they are all noble young ladies here, how have they ever been so angry? I’m afraid they are causing trouble.”
Song Yusheng didn't have to worry about offending anyone. After all, he was the eldest son of the Duke's family and he could do whatever he wanted. But Wen Chu couldn't. She was an orphan without a father and a mother. She was no different from a beggar in this world. She didn't dare to offend anyone, and she couldn't offend anyone.
So, when the chief clerk asked her to kneel down, she would kneel down without hesitation. She has always believed that doing more is worse than doing less. If you say it sounds good, you are aware of current affairs; if you say it sounds bad, it means you have no spine.
Song Yusheng repeated: "A good relationship?"
What kind of good relationship does such a person have? Is Wen Chu stupid or something? Can't you tell with such obvious thoughts?
Song Yusheng's mood has always been stable, and there are few things in this world that can cause his mood swings. When King Li launched a rebellion, the whole court was shaken. At the age of seventeen, he helped to quell the rebellion, but he never panicked or panicked; even when he won three yuan in a row and was named on the gold medal list, he was not aware of it at all. No sadness, no joy.
However, after being picked up by Wen Chu and brought home, in this small town, in that shabby and leaky little house, for two months, he would always be distracted by her.
Just at this moment, when he heard her say such words, he felt a sense of irritation in his heart for no reason.
Wen Chu turned around to face Song Yusheng. She walked sideways, still explaining, "Your injury is almost healed now. You will go home sooner or later. You have a family, but I don't." Ah! I can't offend anyone. Even if I don't want to eat, it's not a big deal. We can't lose a piece of meat. Isn't it an easy thing for a son of a prefect and a son of an inspector to make others unhappy?"
Wen Chu spoke a little eagerly, After a long series of words, her chest heaved and she almost lost her breath.
Song Yusheng turned his head and looked at the woman beside him. She was like a little sparrow, jumping around while talking.
The chirping voice calmed my already irritable heart a little.
Song Yusheng said: "You really just don't want to offend them?"
"Otherwise? Why else?"
She didn't understand what Song Yusheng meant. What did Song Yusheng think it would be?
He turned around and looked away. He said: "It's okay, I'm here, you don't have to worry about offending them."
If these words were said by others, they would feel rather arrogant and arrogant, but if Song Yusheng said them, they would be unreasonably reassuring.
The night was silent, except for the footsteps of two people walking on the road. Song Yusheng suddenly asked: "I have recovered from my injury, and I don't know when I will be able to return to Beijing. Do you want to come with me?"
Wen Chu didn't understand what Song Yusheng meant. He subconsciously said "huh?" with doubts in his tone. She said before that she wanted to go to Jiangnan, but not Kyoto. Why should she go back to Kyoto with him?
She said hurriedly: "What I said before was that I wanted to go to Jiangnan, not Kyoto."
Song Yusheng suddenly let out a chuckle.
This laughter seemed low and magnetic in the silent night, with an inexplicable mockery.
When she went out in the morning, she told him not to abandon her, but now she wished she could break away from him earlier.
Wen Chu realized that her reaction was too violent. She said: "It's not that I don't want to go back with the young master. I am unfamiliar with the place. I am afraid that I will trouble the young master when I go to Kyoto. Moreover, I am not familiar with the young master." People are still comfortable in the countryside, and it is really inappropriate to go to Kyoto. "
Wen Chu's words are sincere, and Xiaozhi is moved by emotion. I just hope that Song Yusheng won't pester him too much.
Song Yusheng was silent for a moment when he heard Wen Chu's words, and then pretended to be aggrieved and said, "But didn't Mrs. Chu agree that I won't abandon you?"
His voice was soft and a little entangled. A lingering air of complaint.
Wen Chu felt extremely regretful at this time. He only hated himself for speaking so freely and shooting himself in the foot. I don't know why Song Yusheng insists on clinging to this matter. It's really uncomfortable.
Song Yusheng completely saw her reluctance and did not intend to go into details. He just said: "Then Madam Chu has to go to Kyoto with me to get money, right?"
Like this After all, I still want to go to Kyoto.
Wen Chu didn't want to go to Beijing. This place really had some bad memories for her. She wanted to retort. His family was so prosperous that they didn't even have an errand boy.
Song Yusheng seemed to have figured out what she was thinking, and said calmly: "These days are really troublesome, and I naturally want to repay you well, but there is too much money, and I don't feel comfortable giving it to you. If someone else delivers it, it’s better for Mrs. Chu to come with me.”
It’s just Song Yusheng’s nonsense to not trust others to deliver it. Not to mention that he doesn't care about the money at all, and what's more, his secret guards are all very skilled, and they kill people without blinking an eye. If they can give away the money, they don't have to live.
There is a lot of money.
Wen Chu's attention was immediately attracted by these words, and he couldn't put anything else into his mind.
She was torn in her heart. She had treated Song Yu well these days, and it was coming to an end. She couldn't let everything go to waste at the last moment just because she didn't want to go to Kyoto.
That’s all, just go! She finally nodded in agreement with Song Yusheng's words.
The two of them just walked farther and farther on this road with their own thoughts, until they disappeared. Then two people hung upside down from the tree they passed by, and their legs were hooked on the branches. He looked down at the direction they were leaving.
"Brother, you heard it just now, the master actually said that he would take her back to the capital with him."
The person who spoke was Dongyue, Chunfeng next to him.
After they finished dealing with Zhao Shun's matter, they went to protect Song Yusheng. Their martial arts were among the best, so they followed him silently, and Wen Chu didn't notice at all.
The spring breeze was cold and sharp, and she was clearly only a few years older than Dongyue, but she gave people a feeling of youth and maturity.
He was slightly surprised by Song Yusheng's behavior, but he still said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about the master's rights and wrongs. Do you want to be whipped?" With that, he jumped down from the tree.
Dongyue still wanted to gossip, but she could only frown when she heard Chunfeng's words. Even though she was reluctant, she finally shut up obediently and quickly jumped down from the tree to follow his pace.

Lin Sujian and his party failed to invite anyone to eat with them, so in the end they went to eat by themselves and drank a lot of wine before going home. When Lin Sujian returned home, he happened to bump into his father Lin Ping.
Lin Ping has also been annoyed recently by matters entrusted by the Duke Song Lin. Song Lin asked him to find Song Yusheng, but he couldn't find him. Yunjing Town also sent people I searched, but no one said they had seen any strange people. If the Duke of Guo hadn't told him not to keep it public, he would have wanted to issue a reward order!
Lin Ping had many concubines, but Lin Sujian was the only legitimate son, so he was mostly doted on. He couldn't complete the task assigned by his boss, so he was naturally worried and frowning. At this moment, he bumped into Lin Sujian drinking and playing outside again, and he was not very angry. He said: "Can you do this all day long?" Let’s get down to business. I’m already 20 years old. I don’t want you to start a career first, but you can start a family for me. How can you just go to a brothel and drink wine?”
Lin Sujian was already very angry because of Wen Chu. When he saw Lin Ping say this, he directly retorted: "It's so unreasonable. My father is so angry that he will take advantage of me."
Lin Ping scolded: "I couldn't find anyone over there, and I was so worried that I couldn't even eat anything! You are so good, you are so happy that you can go to heaven! I can't even say a few words about you?"
Looking for someone? Lin Sujian didn't want to talk more about drinking flower wine with his father, so he changed the subject and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Lin Ping didn't expect Lin Sujian either. Can help him, waved and said: "Don't No matter what, what's the use of talking to you?"
While he scolded Lin Sujian for not doing his job properly, he complained that Lin Sujian didn't let him worry about it, but when Lin Sujian asked him what he was worried about. time, but he didn’t say anything.
Lin Sujian also felt that he was really incomprehensible, and said: "My father is very funny and complains at the same time, but when I ask you, you don't tell me."
Lin Ping called this He choked on his words. After thinking about it for a long time, it really made sense, and he finally replied. After answering Lin Sujian's words, he said: "The prince of the Duke of Guo's family has disappeared from our place. The Duke of Guo sent a message asking me to help find him, but he couldn't find him! In such a big place, where can I find him?" So easy to find? I can’t find anyone, and I can’t explain it to Mr. Guo.”
For some reason, Lin Sujian thought of the man in white in the county government office today. He asked, "What does the prince look like? What color clothes does he like to wear?"
Lin Ping heard this and asked in a loud voice Said: "What? What do you know?"
Lin Sujian did not answer and just said: "Just tell me first."
Lin Pingye I don’t know what tricks he is doing over there, but he replied to what he just said, "The prince certainly looks good. I have seen him a few times in Kyoto in the past. He looks like an immortal, and he especially loves white clothes. Have you seen him? ?”
Lin Sujian guessed that the man he saw this year might be the person his father was looking for. To confirm, he asked again: “When did he disappear?”
"It's been more than two months, let's count."
At this point, Lin Sujian was almost certain. For a moment, his mind turned over and over again, and he had an idea, and then he said out loud: "Father, I know where that person is, but don't worry about it for now. Ask me to help you this time."
