Hearing this, Song Yunsheng was a bit shaken.
If the chief secretary was just spreading false information to lull him into a trap, and Li Qiyu even called home to talk about this, it would be going too far.
If this was a plan, it was also too extreme.
Just as Song Yunsheng was filled with doubts, the gatekeeper came to report, "Sir, Miss Li Qiyu is here to see you. She's right at the gate. Do you want to see her?"
The gatekeeper's words were also heard by Zhong Yuxiu on the other end of the phone. She immediately tensed up.
What was Li Qiyu doing coming to see Song Yunsheng so late at night? Could it be that since she had become a widow, she wanted to find a backup right away?!
This Li Qiyu was really going too far!
Zhong Yuxiu quickly advised on the phone, "Your Majesty, this woman has ill intentions. Don't agree to see her."
Actually, Song Yunsheng was thinking the same as Zhong Yuxiu. He was also wondering if it was because Song Yi'an was dead and Li Qiyu had lost her support, so she came to reminisce about the old days with him.
If it was just to reminisce, he would of course welcome it. This woman was the one he had truly fallen for, and naturally he wanted to be with her.
At the same time, the images of Li Qiyu repeatedly rejecting him popped up in Song Yunsheng's mind. He was the lord of a country! How could he tolerate being insulted by a woman like this!
Song Yunsheng thought that this time when Li Qiyu came to him, he wouldn't let her off so easily.
He had given Li Qiyu a chance before, but she didn't cherish it.
Now, she didn't have that chance anymore.
His first wife would still be Zhong Yuxiu.
As for Li Qiyu -
He would torture her, play with her. He would make her a mistress, the lowest kind of whore, using her body to gain his favor.
He would let her know the price of playing with a king!
Song Yunsheng was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice Zhong Yuxiu calling him several times on the phone. It was only when the gatekeeper, seeing he didn't respond for a long time, asked again that he came back to his senses and replied, "Okay, let her in."
The gatekeeper took the order and left. At this time, Zhong Yuxiu on the phone was not happy.
"It's so late at night, with a single man and a widow. Why do you want to let her in? This... this..."
"Don't worry." Song Yunsheng comforted her softly, "She won't shake your position. You will be my wife, and our wedding won't be affected by this."
What Song Yunsheng meant was that Zhong Yuxiu would still be his first wife, but in Zhong Yuxiu's ears, it was a different interpretation - Song Yunsheng didn't like Li Qiyu. He wouldn't be with Li Qiyu and would still marry her as promised.
Hearing this promise, Zhong Yuxiu felt a little relieved. Realizing that she had been a bit offensive to Song Yunsheng in her hurry just now, Zhong Yuxiu explained, "Your Majesty, what I meant just now was... I hope you'll be careful. Li Qiyu is not an easy woman. The other day at the Li family, she even plotted against my mother and me. I'm afraid she'll plot against you."
Song Yunsheng just felt disdainful in his heart.
Plot? It would be a miracle if Li Qiyu knew how to plot. If she really had that ability, she wouldn't have been sold by him in the previous life and still counted the money for him.
"Don't worry." Seeing that Zhong Yuxiu really seemed worried, Song Yunsheng simply took advantage of her worry and arranged something for her.
"I have no other choice. We still don't know if Song Yi'an is really dead or not. We haven't even seen the body, so it's hard to draw a conclusion. I can only test Li Qiyu and find the answer from her. If you can get accurate information, I won't have to see Li Qiyu."
This woman, Zhong Yuxiu, was still firmly in Song Yunsheng's control. She quickly said, "Don't worry. I'll ask that guy surnamed Jiang to find out. Even if I can't see the person, I'll find a way to make Li Qiyu send a photo."
"That would be best."
Just as Song Yunsheng hung up the phone with Zhong Yuxiu, the gatekeeper led Li Qiyu and they were already at the study door.
When Song Yunsheng saw Li Qiyu coming, he showed a smile, but then thought that she had just lost her husband. It didn't seem appropriate to smile so happily - he still had to put on a show. So he put on a solemn expression and made a gesture of invitation to Li Qiyu.
"I've heard about Yi'an. Come in and talk."
After the gatekeeper sent Li Qiyu to the door, he walked back. Li Qiyu was actually a bit nervous facing Song Yunsheng alone, but she still braved herself and walked in.
Maybe because they were in the Song Mansion and there were many servants coming and going, Song Yunsheng didn't want to cause any gossip at this special moment.
Or maybe he thought that Li Qiyu was already in his grasp and he was sure of victory. Song Yunsheng was now in the mindset of a cat playing with a mouse, so he wasn't in a hurry.
He actually, rarely, politely kept a safe distance from Li Qiyu.
"Natural disasters and man - made disasters are unavoidable. Please accept my condolences."
Li Qiyu felt disgusted when she saw his hypocritical appearance. She got straight to the point, "Did you send someone to hit Song Yi'an?"
Song Yunsheng's eyes turned cold. After a moment, he coldly replied, "Whether in modern times or ancient times, when accusing someone of a crime, evidence is required. Don't make unfounded accusations."
Li Qiyu said angrily, "Stop pretending. We've been husband and wife for so many years. No one knows what kind of person you are better than me. It was you who killed Song Yi'an. Blood debt must be paid in blood!"
Hearing Li Qiyu's words, Song Yunsheng immediately became alert.
He had seen how high Li Qiyu's martial arts skills were. If this woman really wanted to kill him, in this room with just a single man and a widow and no helpers around him, he might not be able to escape.
Li Qiyu saw Song Yunsheng take a few steps back and sneered coldly.
"Coward."
Song Yunsheng felt ashamed being scolded by her and felt even more embarrassed.
"Li Qiyu, don't be so arrogant. There will be times when you need my help."
"Don't think that just because you killed Song Yi'an, I'll follow your orders. I'm telling you, this is modern times, not ancient times. You're no longer the emperor. Here, every bad thing you do and every life you take will come with a price! When I find the evidence of your murder, I'll bring the police to arrest you! Old Master Song, Song Yi'an, all these people you've killed will help me from above!"
Li Qiyu was really angry. Her eyes were like they could kill.
In fact, there was really a small knife hidden in her sleeve.
Every time she said another word to Song Yunsheng, she tightened her grip on the knife a little more.
She had taken it from a doctor's desk when she passed by the doctor's office in the hospital. The knife was very sharp. She was confident that it could kill with a single stroke!
