Chapter 431 Jiashu
Seeing that she was a little annoyed, Zhang Jin scratched his forehead and said, "Well... let me introduce you. This is my brother of many years, Song Jiashu."
Song Jiashu quickly straightened his clothes, took a few steps forward, clasped his fists and bowed, "Song greets the young lady."
Although Cai Xing was puzzled, out of courtesy, she returned to their side and gave a dignified salute: "Mr. Song is polite."
Song Jiashu smiled slightly, with a glint of admiration in his eyes: "Miss Caixing is indeed as dignified and generous as the rumors say. No wonder Jindi can't forget you."
Upon hearing this, Cai Xing said calmly, "Sir, you are too kind."
Seeing this, Zhang Jin quickly stood between the two of them and interrupted, "Alright, alright, I've already said hello. Go in quickly and don't keep them waiting."
Song Jiashu pushed him aside, took a step forward, and explained his purpose: "Miss Caixing, I heard that Miss Caiyue is here today. Could you please tell her that I would like to meet her?"
Cai Xing's alarm bells rang when she heard this. She took a step back and looked at the person opposite her with vigilance: "Who are you? Why do you want to see my sister Cai Yue?"
After saying that, she turned to look at Zhang Jin, her eyes full of questions.
Zhang Jin also looked confused and asked, "Do you know Caiyue? Why have I never heard you mention her?"
Song Jiashu ignored his question and looked at Caixing firmly, saying sincerely, "A few days ago, Madam Shen wanted to be a matchmaker for me, and she mentioned Miss Caiyue. Later, I heard that Miss Caiyue didn't want to leave the palace. Although I have no intention of pestering her, I still have some doubts in my heart. I just want to ask her in person, but what is wrong with me that Miss Caiyue avoids me so much? Please help me and pass on a message for me. I will be grateful."
After saying this, he bowed deeply with an extremely respectful attitude.
Cai Xing was speechless for a moment. It turned out that the person the imperial concubine was talking about that day was him.
Song Jiashu's words were clear and his attitude was extremely humble. If he didn't pass on the message, he would appear ignorant and unkind; but if he went to pass on the message, he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to Sister Caiyue.
She thought about it over and over again, and became more and more conflicted. In the end, she could only glare at Zhang Jin fiercely and turned back into the house.
Leaving Zhang Jin and Song Jiashu standing there.
Zhang Jin's face turned pale, a thin layer of cold sweat seeping out of his forehead. He whispered to Song Jiashu, "It's over, it's over. Caixing is angry. You've really made me suffer! No wonder you didn't know Doctor Wei, but you insisted that I bring you to the wedding today. So you were waiting for me here! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
Song Jiashu, however, looked indifferent and replied calmly, "If I had told you earlier, would you still have brought me here?"
Zhang Jin answered without hesitation: "Of course not!"
Song Jiashu smiled slightly, with a sly glint in his eyes: "That's why I couldn't tell you earlier."
Zhang Jin stamped his feet in anger, pointed at his nose and said, "It's okay for you to have cheated me before, but this time it concerns my lifelong event!"
Song Jiashu remained calm and composed: "It also concerns my lifelong event."
Zhang Jin was speechless and too angry to speak. He could only glare at Song Jiashu fiercely, secretly regretting how he had been fooled by this guy again.
Inside the house, Caixing quickly walked to Caiyue and whispered to her everything that had just happened.
After listening to this, Caiyue frowned slightly and sighed softly: "It's my own fault that I don't want to leave the palace. It has nothing to do with him."
Cai Xing quickly said, "Then I'll go out and explain things to him."
Caiyue held her hand, thought for a moment and said, "Since he wants to see me, I will go to see him. If I don't explain clearly, he might have other ideas, which will not be good for the Shen family."
After saying that, he stood up.
Xiao Shi came to her side: "I'll go with you."
This way, you don’t have to worry about that person having bad intentions.
Outside the house, Song Jiashu stood straight, his eyes fixed on the door. Seeing Caiyue coming out, he quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "I am Song Jiashu, and I am honored to meet you, young lady."
Caiyue returned the greeting dignifiedly, her tone gentle but distant: "Mr. Song, there is no need to be so polite. Please come this way."
She extended her hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Song Jiashu should follow her to the pavilion nearby to talk.
After all, they couldn't just talk about these private matters in front of someone else's new house.
The two came to the pavilion, and Xiao Shi stood not far away, watching their every move with vigilant eyes.
Cai Yue bowed and said sincerely, "Master Song, it's my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to my wife, which led to your misunderstanding. I apologize to you here."
Song Jiashu quickly dodged her greeting and said, "Miss, you are too kind. Madam Shen meant well, and I am deeply grateful. However, she only said that you were unwilling to leave the palace for personal reasons. That's why I wanted to ask you in person. If this was abrupt, I hope you will forgive me."
Cai Yue's expression was indifferent: "Mr. Song, you are too polite. This matter has nothing to do with you. It is my personal choice. Please don't think too much about it."
Song Jiashu's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure. He nodded, his tone still respectful, "Young lady, I'm grateful for your honesty. However, I'd like to ask you, young lady, if there's anything I can do for you, I'd be happy to help. Although I'm of humble origin, I have a small fortune and know a few people."
After hearing what Young Madam Shen said, he thought Caiyue had something to hide, or something had happened in the palace.
Looking at his serious expression, Caiyue sighed and told him her life story.
Then he said, "Young Master, you are both talented and beautiful, and you have a good character. However, I have made up my mind and do not want to jeopardize your happiness because of my own selfishness. You should find a more suitable woman to spend the rest of your life with."
Song Jiashu listened quietly, and from beginning to end, his eyes never left Caiyue.
The woman before him possessed a dignified figure and a gentle demeanor, radiating a unique charm in every gesture. As she recounted the unbearable suffering she endured, her tone calm and expression composed, as if the pain of the past had faded into the past, leaving no trace in her heart. But Song Jiashu understood that behind this indifference lay a strong heart and extraordinary resilience. She was a woman capable of holding up her own world.
After Caiyue finished speaking, she saw that Song Jiashu was just looking at her quietly without saying a word, so she thought that he had understood what she meant and her decision, so she bowed and turned to leave.
Song Jiashu finally came to his senses and hurriedly called out, "Young lady, please stay."
Caiyue turned around and asked: "Master Song, is there anything else?"
