Chapter 705: Cunning Western Poison
Hearing her husband’s words, Huang Rong’s legs went weak, and she almost blacked out from shock.
After returning to Xiangyang from the Golden Serpent Assembly last time, Huang Rong had recounted everything that had transpired at the event to Guo Jing. She had spoken highly of Song Qingshu, this rising star, praising both his martial prowess and his leadership abilities. He was undoubtedly one of the foremost talents of the younger generation.
Because of this, she had also brought up an idea she had been considering for some time—matching her daughter, Guo Fu, with him. Guo Fu was the apple of their eye, yet Huang Rong had to admit that aside from her beauty, her daughter’s temperament and intelligence left much to be desired. As a mother, she had worried endlessly about her future.
When she met Song Qingshu at the Golden Serpent Assembly, she immediately saw an opportunity. If she could successfully arrange a match between them, not only would her daughter find an ideal husband, securing her future with his skills and abilities, but they would also gain an exceptional son-in-law. With Song Qingshu’s martial arts and his outstanding command ability, Xiangyang would be safe under his protection, solving one of the couple’s biggest concerns.
And finally… Huang Rong had faintly sensed Song Qingshu’s interest in her, and even she had some thoughts she dared not admit to others. She hoped to establish a solid relationship between them—one of mother-in-law and son-in-law—so that any potential complications would be eliminated before they could arise.
But Huang Rong had never imagined that before she could even bring Song Qingshu into the family as a son-in-law, she had ended up bringing him into her own bed instead…
After what had transpired between them last night, how could she still consider marrying her daughter to him? Though she was the daughter of the Eastern Heretic and had been known as a mischievous girl in her youth, such a situation was simply too scandalous to bear. If she truly went through with it, it wouldn’t just be two women serving one husband—it would be mother and daughter sharing…
How could Huang Rong tolerate such an absurd situation? Yet, she couldn’t explain any of this to her husband, so she could only deflect and say, “Brother Jing, let’s discuss Fu’er’s matter later. The urgent priority now is to get you out of here.”
Ouyang Feng had finally forced Song Qingshu back and took the opportunity to say, “Surnamed Song, when you rescued Huang Rong earlier and Wanyan Liang asked about your identity, I still remembered our past ties and didn’t reveal it was you. And yet, now you’re willing to turn against me completely for this woman?”
