Chapter 2237: Chapter 2237: Distinctive (3)
Song San sneered, "Are you saying you’re a charitable family?"
The Left Protector was silent for a moment, then sighed, "There’s no need for us to compare this, right? We’re talking about cooperation now. If the Young Master doesn’t have the resolve, then I don’t mind discussing cooperation with your old Sect Hierarch." With that, he turned to leave.
"Wait." Song San spoke as the opponent took a few steps away, "I agree to cooperate with you, but I have a condition: do not harm her family’s lives."
"Haha, we are doing this for her. As long as she surrenders quietly, why add to the slaughter?" The Left Protector nodded, "As long as she’s gone, her siblings at home are of no consequence."
Song San exhaled a breath.
"I didn’t expect the Young Master to be someone who cherishes beauty, haha..." The Left Protector laughed heartily and walked away.
Song San, however, turned and looked at the moon in the sky, taking a long breath. For the first time, a great struggle arose within his heart.
Diewu looked at Song San’s back, feeling also troubled and conflicted, but more than that, she felt secretly pleased. This man she had liked since childhood was troubled over another woman, and that woman... had the audacity to slight the Young Master. Such a situation was unacceptable to her.
So, killing Yang Ruxin was something she had always wanted to do, but because the Young Master didn’t agree, she had to hold back. But now, the Young Master finally decided to take drastic action, how wonderful!
Re Bai glanced at Diewu beside him and sighed gently. As a servant, falling in love with the master, the outcome was destined... Well, it was all his own choice and fate. He could only hope she fares well.
Song San didn’t stand for long before he withdrew his gaze, "Let’s go, to Tongcheng."
Not long after, several fast horses galloped rapidly along the official road. Along the way, Re Mei sent news, reporting on the recent events in Tongcheng and Yucheng.
Having removed his mask and changed into an ordinary brocade robe, Song San’s lips curled up. The woman he fancied was just like that... ruthless, vengeful, just like that... extraordinary.
Perhaps the Left Protector’s suggestion was also good. If her family fell into his hands, he was now very curious about how Xinxin would choose, family or Gu Qingheng?
Meanwhile, Yang Ruxin was unaware of the schemes outside. She stayed overnight at Manzhi Villa with Gu Qingheng. The next morning, they took breakfast to Shu Manzhi’s tomb, sharing it as three, then bowed in farewell before leaving.
Upon departure, Gu Qingheng took the ancient zither that Shu Manzhi cherished during his lifetime. It’s said this zither was crafted by the famous luthier Master Zhong Shuzi a century ago, modeled after the ancient "Raoliang," and named "Heavenly Sound."
After this zither was made, Zhong Shuzi passed away, making it a posthumous work. It was later acquired by the Shu family’s ancestor, passed down, until coming to Shu Tongzhi and Shu Jingzhi, neither of whom appreciated the zither. Instead, one preferred the flute, and the other, the bamboo flute. Fortunately, they had a daughter who loved it, so "Heavenly Sound" was passed to Shu Manzhi.
Now, because Yang Ruxin said she liked listening to the zither, Gu Qingheng took over this invaluable instrument.
The Shu Family surprisingly had no objections, and instead felt gratified.
Now it was already late October, and if delayed any longer, they wouldn’t catch Yu Qingge’s wedding, so they really had to take their leave.
