Half of what Rong Chu said was a threat.
Song Yao was furious, shshetook the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, and when she put the teapot down, he used a bit more force, making a slight noise.
She estimated and calculated that one hundred taels of silver was equivalent to sixty thousand yuan. Damn, was it that expensive?
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Song Yao was skeptical as he slowly picked up the teapot. He carefully checked if there were any broken parts.
"If you don't believe me, ask Hong Yan. She definitely won't lie." Rong Chu, who looked serious and serious, and didn't seem to be blabbering nonsense, softly asked Song Yao to put down the teapot once again.
"Alright, then I won't touch the things here. I have to go, I need to go home. It's been a long time since I last saw my mother and brother."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave when Rong Chu slowly said: "Have you thought about it? You really don't want to bother with this case anymore? "
Song Yao stopped in her tracks and did not say a word.
Rong Chu then said: "I don't believe that I would misjudge you, what are you afraid of?"
The wind blew for a while, and the flower petals above his head rustled down, landing on the corner of Song Yao's sleeves. Song Yao picked up the flower petals and placed them on his palm.
"Like I said, my goal is to save the Big Sister Feng. Everything else is not my concern."
"Oh? Do you still insist on what you just said? But don't forget, the only person who can prove your Big Sister Feng's innocence is this king. If I were to make a confession, do you think your Big Sister Feng would be able to escape this prison? "
After a long period of silence, Song Yao finally asked: "Why me? Didn't you always want my life? "
"That was before. As for why is it you? It's not that I have to do it for you, but you have already half a foot in. Do you think that the things in this world are things that you can interfere with whenever you want to, and leave whenever you want to? "
"Why?" Song Yao still did not understand, "You don't lack people at all, I don't believe that the people under your command will not be able to find out about this case, and yet you still want me to come? Furthermore, I am just a country girl. Your trust in me has caused me to be in a bit of a panic. "
After Rong Chu heard what she said, he did not answer her immediately. He calmly poured himself a cup of tea and slowly sipped it until Song Yao became impatient before speaking, "Because there are some things that are not very suitable for my side to do. You know quite a lot, including the matter of Monsieur, and of course you know my position and the circumstances in which I find myself. "
He paused. "To be frank, I need someone to help me, but not in my name, do you understand?"
Song Yao nodded: "Understood, but I refuse!"
"Oh? "Why?"
Rong Chu stood up and walked behind her while holding a teacup, his tone did not change, as if he had already expected her to say that.
"I don't want to work for you, and I don't need to work for you. Moreover, the royal family's affairs are as profound as the sea, I just want to live a peaceful life with my mother and little brother. I don't want to implicate them, so I definitely won't agree to this matter."
Song Yao's tone was resolute, neither servile nor overbearing.
Rong Chu helped her to take the flower petal from her hair and placed it on her palm.
Song Yao somewhat bafflingly received the flowers that he gave, and then heard Rong Chu say softly: "Take my flowers, they are my people."
Song Yao stared blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly pushed Rong Chu a few steps back with a palm, "Are you poisoned? Why are you speaking nonsense? Is my brain damaged? "
Rong Chu was silent for a moment, then said: "You're mistaken, I just think that the scene just now was similar to the book of words that I saw a few days ago. That sentence unknowingly popped out of my mind, and I was also very surprised that I would actually say it to you."
"What do you mean?" Song Yao's face was still red, but when she heard this question, she asked unhappily.
"Nothing much, I just feel that you are too lacking compared to the female characters described in the book of words." He glanced at Song Yao from head to toe, and revealed a look of disdain.
Song Yao clenched her teeth and looked at him, "You too! "Except for the face that I can still see, everything about her character is a mess!"
"Huh?" Rong Chu was suspicious, "Could it be that my identity cannot make you have a whole new level of respect for me?"
"Let's put it this way. If it wasn't for my identity being suppressed, I wouldn't waste my time with you here." Song Yao did not hold back, and directly said to Rong Chu.
Rong Chu was stunned for a moment before replying, "I didn't realize that you and those other people were the same."
"Cut the crap, I'm leaving." Song Yao said.
"Have you thought about it? Leave this place, your Big Sister Feng will return right after coming out."
Song Yao paused, "I don't believe that you would do this."
"I don't want to either, but sometimes things don't require a strange method, and you can't achieve your goal. It's just like when you were trying to save her, wasn't it also because you threatened me to succeed?"
I never thought I could threaten you. Back then, I was only trying it out, and you only agreed to me if you wanted to test my strength and my identity.
After saying that, Rong Chu stopped drinking his tea, he walked a few steps back and leaned on the book, his hands folded across his chest, and said: "I never thought that I would be seen through so much by you."
Song Yao sneered, "So you should be content with what you have, don't push yourself too far right?"
"Then there's nothing I can do about it. With my identity, I have to push my luck. Not only do I have to push my luck, but I also have to kill everything." For people like me, being easy to talk to is extremely easy. If we were to be ruthless, no one would be able to compare to us. "
"You sound like you're describing a pervert." Song Yao said.
"Ha …" Rong Chu laughed and muttered, "You also know that the water in the palace is as deep as the sea, how can it not be perverted? In order to survive, I have long forgotten what I am like. "
Song Yao did not utter a word, and then heard Rong Chu say: "If you don't believe me, you can give it a try, when you leave the jade smoke, I can have people go to the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion to capture Lou Lingfeng, and don't forget how much effort you put in to save her, and don't forget, she saved your life, and she even left the brothel for you, and became a woman in the wind. You owe her a lot."
"What did you say?" Song Yao was stunned, she did not understand Rong Chu's words.
Rong Chu played with the teacup in his hand, "Why are you doing this, don't you know what she did for you?"
After a while, Rong Chu placed the teacup in his hand. Song Yao thought for a long time before she held it tightly.
"I promise." "No," she said.
