Chapter 429 The Real Gold Fighted Over by Handsome Men (6)
Qin Qingwu's best friend is dead, but her son is still alive.
It is none other than the current Marquis of Weiyuan—Song Chengge.
Because the old Marquis Weiyuan had rendered meritorious service in saving the emperor, and because Song Chengge had also won several battles, the emperor granted Song Chengge the special privilege of not having his title stripped, so Song Chengge remained a marquis.
He is the same age as Bai Ruofu this year and is known as "Young Master Song".
but……
Bai Ruofu thought of Xu Nanzhan.
Although Xu Nanzhan is just a minor general, currently serving under her father, the Marquis of Zhenbei, they have a long-standing friendship, and she has already given herself to him...
Bai Ruofu felt that she would never fall in love with another man again.
But she hasn't told Qin Qingwu about this yet.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Judging from Bai Ruofu's expression, Qin Qingwu knew that she was struggling with her inner conflict.
"Afu...is there something on your mind? Or perhaps you already have someone you love?"
"mother……"
“Afu, don’t be afraid. You’re of age now, so feel free to speak. Besides, your marriage to Song Chengge is only a verbal agreement. You two haven’t exchanged birth certificates. If you’re not willing, I won’t force you to marry a man you don’t love.”
"However... Young Master Song is indeed a rare man. Although he is a military general, he has been well-versed in poetry and literature since childhood and is quite accomplished in poetry and strategy. He also knows how to take care of young ladies."
Bai Ruofu shook her head and said, "Young Master Song is good, but in my heart, there is already someone else..."
Bai Ruofu told Qin Qingwu about her and Xu Nanzhan's experiences.
She did not hide the fact that she was no longer a virgin.
Qin Qingwu treated her sincerely, and she didn't want to hide anything. Besides, this matter couldn't be kept secret forever.
The elderly nanny beside Qin Qingwu had sharp eyes and, after spending many days with her, could tell that she was not a virgin.
Bai Ruofu felt uneasy when she told him about it.
She was afraid that Qin Qingwu would dislike her...
After all, in the Heng Dynasty, in the hearts of most people, a woman's reputation is more important than her life...
However, Qin Qingwu simply hugged her gently and said, "Afu...you've suffered...don't worry, I'll handle the rest for you. Just remember, you have to keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone, not even your father."
"Also, tell that brat Xu Nanzhan that he absolutely must not let this matter get out..."
"Thank you, Mother, I understand..."
-
However, walls have ears.
The young Marquis of Weiyuan, Song Chengge, originally came to see Bai Ruofu.
He is a man of his word.
He initially thought the girl he was betrothed to since childhood was Bai Baozhu, and even though he had no interest in Bai Baozhu, he never said he wouldn't marry her.
Now it's a different person.
Bai Ruofu is the true daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Eavesdropping on others is an immoral act, but Qin Qingwu had invited him here today.
Song Chengge has practiced martial arts since childhood, and his hearing is better than that of the average person.
The soundproofing in Tianxiangzhai wasn't very good, and he overheard Bai Ruofu and Qin Qingwu's conversation.
However, his entourage did not hear it.
Having good hearing is one of Song Chengge's special qualities.
-
Song Chengge never expected that Bai Ruofu's experience would be so tragic...
To be honest, he had already seen Bai Ruofu from a distance.
Her appearance and manner of speaking were exactly his type.
Perhaps this is fate.
He was uninterested in anyone else, but only in the girl he was betrothed to since childhood.
