Chapter 131

Song Qingqing looked at Gao Yang's departing back in disbelief; she could not believe it for a moment.

"He... he actually left, and even the Zhao Gao in his arms is more important than me!" Song Qingqing said, her face full of disbelief.

In the past, Gao Yang would absolutely never treat her like this; a single word from her could summon him to her side or dismiss him at will.

In fact, ever since she was stood up yesterday, she had made up her mind; anyway, she didn't have much feeling for Gao Yang, so it would be better to just let go.

It is hard to find a four-legged toad in this world, but there are plenty of two-legged men.

She, Song Qingqing, is a descendant of a prestigious family, after all.

In her heart, there was more of a sense of unwillingness and imbalance.

But now, Gao Yang's attitude stung her, as if she were the most disgusting thing in the world, and even looking at her twice felt nauseating.

Seeing this, Chen Yi sighed deeply in her heart.

She found it difficult to blame Song Qingqing for this matter; after all, she and Song Qingqing were best friends, and the Song and Chen families were family friends for generations.

But for Song Qingqing to personally go to his door to break off the engagement was too humiliating, and Gao Yang's coldness was understandable.

Either stay completely away from Gao Yang, or if you get close, be prepared to be humiliated.

But seeing Song Qingqing's appearance, Chen Yi still felt a bit of heartache, so she said, "Qingqing, deep love leads to deep hatred. Gao Yang must have written this poem for you, but you hurt him too deeply, so now his heart is full of hatred for you."

"Don't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Song Qingqing's face flickered, revealing a hint of being moved.

"Really?"

"This 'Clouds as clothes and flowers as face,' was it really written for me? If so, why would Gao Yang want to insult me?"

"It is certainly true." Chen Yi looked helpless, but since the words were already out, she could only bite the bullet and comfort her.

"Hmph!"

Song Qingqing let out a cold snort, a hint of hatred in her eyes.

"When he comes to beg me, I will also make him taste the feeling I have now—no, ten times, a hundred times that feeling!"

Song Qingqing looked forward to that scene; just thinking about it made her feel vindicated.

Chen Yi instantly felt a headache; in fact, her heart leaned more toward the idea that Gao Yang was telling the truth.

He truly felt that Song Qingqing had insulted this poem.

But seeing Song Qingqing like this, she didn't know how to speak up...

In the carriage.

Gao Changwen looked full of admiration, "Brother, the way you looked just now was simply too cool."

As he spoke, he rubbed his chin and said, "But this Song Qingqing is really strange. It was clearly she who broke off the engagement, yet now she acts as if she is deeply in love."

Gao Yang sneered, "Love?"

"This is just a sense of imbalance and the discomfort of losing a sycophant!"

"If the Duke of Dingguo's mansion were successfully suppressed by Prince Rong now, or if I were punished by the Empress and even thrown into the celestial prison, this Song Qingqing would only feel fortunate."

"Once separated, not many people truly wish for their other half to live well. The worse you live, the more she will feel that her original choice was right. Conversely, if you become excellent, she will feel unbalanced in her heart and start to regret it. This is human nature."

Gao Changwen clutched his head, "Brother, my head hurts so much!"

"Could it be that I caught a cold? But that shouldn't be."

Gao Changwen shook his head, "No, it's just that after hearing these words from you, Brother, I feel like my brain is about to grow a brain."

Gao Yang: "..."

Soon, Gao Changwen returned to normal, "Forget it, women will only affect the speed at which I draw my blade; only the brothel is eternal!"

His eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "Brother, can you return to the mansion first? It was hard for me to get out, and I have some important matters to attend to."

Gao Yang looked surprised and said indifferently, "Oh, what matters?"

Gao Changwen said righteously, "Studying, reading books of noble spirit!"

Once these words were out, Gao Yang's mouth twitched.

Chen Sheng and Zhao Da outside the carriage also had black lines on their faces.

Even a fool would know there is a problem with this excuse.

"Studying, are you sure? You wouldn't be wanting to sneak off the carriage, using studying as a cover, while actually going to the brothel for a free ride!" Gao Yang said with deep meaning.

Gao Changwen didn't even blush and flatly denied it, "Brother, what kind of words are these? It seems you have always had a misunderstanding of me. I am a reader of the 'Spring and Autumn Annals'; how could I go to that filthy, unclean place!"

"Today, after hearing your words, Brother, I have never been so thirsty for knowledge."

Gao Yang couldn't listen anymore, "Go ahead, but don't touch the wine, and keep your mouth shut."

Gao Changwen didn't expect it to be this simple to succeed.

He was overjoyed and soon got off the carriage.

Gao Yang said helplessly, "Zhao Da, I'm afraid this kid is flying toward the brothel. Arrange a few men to follow him secretly."

Zhao Da pulled the reins, somewhat surprised, "Eldest Young Master, isn't a free ride not against the law, allowing one to be carefree outside the law?"

Gao Yang said with deep meaning, "A free ride in Da Qian is indeed not against the law, but I never said anything about whether one would get beaten up."

Damn!

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Da and Chen Sheng both widened their eyes, shock in their gaze.

Gao Yang continued, "Otherwise, why keep so many thugs? Is it just to prevent those courtesans from running away?"

"But it's good for this kid to suffer a little and know the dangers of the world."

"This first lesson of life should be taught to him by me, Gao Yang."

Zhao Da and Chen Sheng looked at Gao Changwen's back, unable to help but feel a touch of sympathy.

Afterward, the carriage slowly drove toward the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.

"..."

The Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Study.

"Clouds as clothes and flowers as face, the spring breeze brushes the railing, the dew is thick!"

"If not seen at the top of the Group Jade Mountain, we would meet under the moon at the Jade Terrace!"

Wu Zhao murmured this poem, her beautiful face showing some shock.

"Was this poem really written by Gao Yang?"

Wu Zhao suddenly turned her head, her gaze fixed on Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er's face also flashed with shock, "This matter is absolutely true!"

"All the guests at the Rouge Pavilion saw it with their own eyes, and now this poem has spread to the entire Changan at an extremely fast speed."

Wu Zhao looked surprised and picked up the copied poem.

Her phoenix eyes stared straight at the poem, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she was.

"But Gao Yang publicly set up Wu Cheng, the son of Prince Rong, not only kicking the young prince in the crotch but also likely colluding with Gao Changwen to drug the young prince."

"According to the nature of these two brothers, I estimate it was likely a mixture of Aphrodisiac Powder and the Powerful Ejaculation King."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao imagined the scene of these two drugs mixed together.

A chill ran through her heart.

"The most critical thing is that this drug wasn't administered secretly, but by tricking Wu Cheng, the son of Prince Rong, into drinking it, and Gao Yang spat it out. I'm afraid Prince Rong will not let this matter rest."

Shangguan Wan'er looked worried, feeling that Gao Yang's methods were a bit too impulsive.

Wu Zhao shook her head and said indifferently, "In the entire Da Qian, no one can surpass the wickedness of the Vice Minister. He has always planned before acting. Since he has made a move, even if he doesn't have ten percent certainty, he has at least nine percent!"

"I will not wipe his ass for this matter. Tomorrow at the morning court, order Gao Yang to come along with Vice Minister Gao."

Wu Zhao spoke directly.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, also in full agreement.

But at this moment, Wu Zhao suddenly said, "I heard that Gao Yang has always admired the eldest daughter of the Song family, but was broken off ten days ago?"

Once these words were out, Shangguan Wan'er was instantly stunned.

She didn't expect that Wu Zhao would actually care about such things.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed true. It is rumored that Lord Gao greatly admired the eldest daughter of the Song family and was summoned and dismissed at her will."
