After thanking everyone, Xiao Song looked at Ran Pingyu and then said, "I have a few words to speak with the Seventeenth Lady, if I may..."
Ran Pingyu hesitated for a moment, then seeing that Ran Yan had no objections, he said, "Go ahead."
With the exception of Ran Yan's personal maid, everyone in the room withdrew.
Xiao Song weighed his words carefully and said, "I don't know what your relationship with Su Fu is, nor am I trying to interfere, but that man... he was destined to live a life of bloodshed from the moment he was born. Now that you're involved, it's impossible to come out of it unscathed. For your own sake and those around you, it would be best to avoid any association with him. Today it is Li Ke; tomorrow it could possibly be Li Tai."
Xiao Song furrowed his brows slightly. As someone involved in the court's turbulent undercurrents, he was naturally very aware of such matters.
