Chapter 1022 Chapter 1022
During the Little New Year, Jin Yunfan and his wife, as well as other uncles and aunts of the Jin family, gathered together with the general and had a hot meal.
It's just warm.
Now that the Jin family is holding a funeral and observing mourning, everything is kept simple.
The several tables of food arranged to entertain the guests were all vegetarian dishes, with no meat or fish in sight, and they did not taste very good. There were twenty or thirty people in the room, but not a single sound was made.
Jin Qidu sat at the table with the women, but Jin Fuyun was not there.
She wanted to ask a few questions, but seeing that the atmosphere didn't seem festive, she simply lowered her head and acted like a well-behaved girl, keeping silent.
It was not until Jin Meng finished his meal and took his brothers and nephews to the study that the female members of the family breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin San's mother called out to Jiang, "Miss... why aren't you here?"
Everyone was dressed in plain clothes, or mourning attire. Looking at the table of leftovers, they all looked lifeless. Jiang shook her head, "The eldest girl is unwell. She knelt for two hours earlier and developed a high fever. She has to be sent back to Diecuixuan to recuperate."
"Tsk tsk, she doesn't even know how to be filial in front of her mother, the princess."
A daughter was so perfunctory in keeping vigil for her mother, which seemed disrespectful to outsiders!
Jiang listened without showing any emotion. She only sighed, "Aunt, please don't criticize her. If someone else had encountered such a thing, such continuous blows, they wouldn't have been able to endure it and would have collapsed long ago."
Ah!
Jin San's mother was even more displeased when she heard this. "She brought this upon herself. It's only because my eldest brother felt pity for her. Otherwise, she should have built a family temple, cut her hair, and cultivated herself. Why did she harm others?"
The only legitimate son of her family was being arranged to marry. She had long had her eyes on a suitable family, but in the end, the man said that the girl was too young and asked her to wait a little longer, so the arrangement was cancelled.
Why is this so?
Everyone knows that after hearing that the Jin family had a whore like Jin Fuyun, no family dared to propose marriage to the general. They used to admire the general's great reputation, but now they avoid him.
I can’t afford to offend!
The Jin family has always prided itself on being a farming and scholarly family, but now it's really laughable. Which family that has been passed down farming and scholarly traditions could tolerate such a shameless adulterous woman!
Not to mention that she didn't die at that time, she wouldn't have been able to live any longer.
What a disaster!
Whenever Jin San's mother thought of this, she wanted to grab Jin Fuyun and beat her up, but she didn't dare to do so in the past, and she didn't dare to do so now.
Nothing can happen to Jin Fuyun.
Prince Yong's mansion is still waiting for such an unclean woman to enter and sit on the throne of mistress.
Jin San's mother couldn't control Jin Fuyun, so she could only find some words to pick with Jiang. When she heard Jiang defending Jin Fuyun, she snorted and laughed, "My niece, I'm going to say something unpleasant, but it's also for your own good. This young lady is very cunning. The women in the back house like me are not as good as her. And you are her sister-in-law. You should be more careful in everything."
Jiang sighed softly, "We are all family, but we can't write two golden characters. The eldest daughter has realized her mistake now. She is either keeping vigil for her mother or kneeling in the house copying scriptures. It can be considered thoughtful."
Copying scriptures?
Jin San's mother sneered, "I feel sorry for my princess's sister-in-law. She was a burden when she was alive, and her life was not very comfortable. Now that she is gone, I am afraid she is still thinking about the eldest girl."
After a lot of sarcasm, he left with his female relatives.
Jiang sent the others away and sat down dejectedly. Before she could catch her breath, her personal nanny came in from outside, lifting the curtain. "Madam, the eldest young lady said she wants a doctor."
Jiang held his forehead with one hand, letting his temple swell and ache.
After hearing this, he raised his head after a long time, "Is she going to cause trouble again?"
The nanny swallowed and whispered, "Shi Niang, who serves her, came to report that the young lady hasn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days. I'm afraid we should ask a doctor to take her pulse and prescribe some medicine to help her recover."
snort!
Still recuperating? !
Jiang closed her eyes and said, "We'll talk about hiring a doctor tomorrow. The palace has given me some tonics. Please choose two or three and send them to Diecuixuan."
"Madam, what about the doctor...?"
Jiang shook her head. "Is it my decision? Let them go and tell the master. If it's about the eldest daughter, if she's short of food, clothing, or other expenses, tell me. I'm no less cruel than she is, and I won't stand idly by. But when it comes to the doctor's affairs, huh? How can I handle it?"
The nanny sighed softly, "Madam, you're in a difficult situation too. You're really worried about having a girl like this."
Jiang shook her head. "It's not a big deal to worry about her. I'm just afraid she'll harm me. I don't take the Jin family's cannibalistic women seriously. They can't do anything to me anyway. But don't underestimate the eldest girl. She's definitely not the weak and helpless type."
The master and servant sighed a few times and went about their business.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, cold winds blew early in the morning, bringing rain and snow to the world. There were two fire pots in the mourning hall, but the cold could not be suppressed.
As Jin Fuyun knelt before the spirit of Princess Hong'an, she suddenly smelled cloth falling onto the charcoal basin. The smell of burning reached her head. She had only eaten some porridge that morning, and now all the nausea surged up in her stomach. She covered her mouth several times to suppress the urge to vomit...
"Stone Lady..."
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Shi Niang was too cold to kneel. When she heard Jin Fuyun's cry, she quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Hel me back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Aunt Qing, who was kneeling on the right side, looked up and said, "Young lady, why don't you kneel down quickly? The masters haven't finished reciting the scriptures yet. What are you doing standing up?"
Jin Fuyun didn't care about it at the moment. He held Shi Niang's arm, with most of his body almost pressed on Shi Niang. He limped, covered his mouth with one hand, and walked forward with a hunched back.
"Big girl!"
Aunt Qing raised her voice and chased after them. All the female relatives looked over. Jin Qi knelt at the back, looking up early. She saw Aunt Qing rushing over and grabbing Jin Fuyun's arm that was covering her mouth. "Miss, please behave yourself in front of the princess!"
The hand covering his mouth suddenly ripped away, and the cold wind rushed into his mouth, choking his throat. "Get out!"
Jin Fuyun couldn't hold it in any longer, so she bent over and vomited. After she had vomited out all the porridge and vegetables she had eaten in the morning, she still couldn't stop, and she vomited until she was dizzy.
When Qing Sangu saw this, her face became even gloomier.
She had heard about the girl's vomiting for days, but she never imagined it would be this serious...
Some speculations flashed through his mind, but before he could start to worry, he heard Shi Niang exclaim, "Miss, Miss——"
Jin Fuyun had just straightened up, but before she could say anything, she suddenly felt a headache, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted...
"What...what's going on?"
Jin Qi whispered, "Could it be that my elder sister is too tired——"
Jin San's mother glanced at this spineless person who always liked to be humble and subservient. "How is she tired? During the wake, you guys could kneel, but she couldn't?"
It’s really funny!
Shi Niang hurriedly hugged Jin Fuyun and said to Qing Sangu, "Sangu, I'm afraid we need to go and get a doctor. If we delay, something serious will happen."
A servant heard it and was about to leave when Aunt Qing coldly shouted, "Send the young lady back to Diecuixuan!"
