Chapter 994 Chapter 944
This marriage has been full of twists and turns.
Song Guanzhou gently stroked the hair on his forehead, "Did Mei Jia Sanlang go back?"
Lan Xiang nodded, "The Fourth Young Master's wife went back last month. But for some reason, the eldest daughter is now making a fuss about breaking off the engagement. The Second Madam's illness... is caused by this."
Song Guanzhou raised an eyebrow. "We finally arranged this marriage, but what's going on? Could it be that Mei Sanlang has done something stupid again?"
Lanxiang didn't know about these.
Qi Yueniang felt overwhelmed when she heard this. "No wonder Second Aunt fell ill. I'm afraid there must have been quite a commotion."
However, the two governments live next to each other, and although they have close contacts on a daily basis, they do not know everything.
Forget it, let’s deal with them one by one.
Back at the mansion, Qi Yueniang took charge of the matter. "Go back to Shaohua Garden. I think my elder sister is in the prince's room. I'll go talk to her now."
Song Guanzhou paused slightly, "Do you want me to keep my sister-in-law company?"
Qi Yueniang took her hand and squeezed it gently. "You have good intentions, but for such a small matter, I will go. My elder sister and Ah Xiu both have a grudge against you. Just now in the small Buddhist temple, they even questioned you. Well, listen to me and stay away."
Since this is the case, Song Guanzhou did not force it.
"Then please, sister-in-law. If I want to visit Second Aunt again, please ask Lanxiang to call me."
Mrs. Mei treated her in a rather pleasant manner.
When encountering such a thing suddenly, Song Guanzhou could not just stand by and watch.
"Don't worry, I know you are very filial. It is urgent to consult the imperial physician right now. I will leave without saying anything more."
"Sister-in-law, walk slowly and be careful of the snow."
The two sisters-in-law said goodbye and turned to walk down the corridor. As they walked up the stone steps, Rendong supported her and walked slowly. Dieyi and Hehua also came over at this time, replaced the copper hand warmer in Song Guanzhou's hand that had cooled down, took a look, and saw that their young lady was not injured, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nothing, the wife of the second house is ill. Honeysuckle, please think about sending some tonic herbs over there."
"Don't worry, Madam. We have a root of old mountain ginseng in our warehouse. We'll get it over later. But..." Honeysuckle was slightly stunned. "I'm afraid I should inform the eldest Madam first."
Song Guanzhou laughed dumbly. "I'm such a blockhead, I really don't understand the ways of the world. Honeysuckle, you decide."
Honeysuckle sighed softly, "Young Madam is intelligent. She shouldn't waste her energy on such trivial matters. Just remember this."
"Sister Dong, the young lady is not only smart, but also beautiful!"
"That's right! The young lady is both virtuous and talented. She is probably the most beautiful woman in Dalong."
Oh my, the praise is almost to the sky. Song Guanzhou smiled brightly, "It's okay to say it in front of me, but you should be more humble in front of outsiders and don't let me scold you."
"Young Madam is already good. They scold you because they feel they can't compare to you and are just jealous."
"Shut up!"
Song Guanzhou smiled brightly, "All of you, please don't say that in front of me anymore. She's beautiful and capable, and we at Shaohuayuan just need to know about it."
After saying that, he poked the smallest lotus.
The master and servant walked towards Shaohua Garden, talking and laughing. Fang Yaer stood behind the low wall and watched Song Guanzhou leave.
She was hiding behind the pine bushes and could be seen clearly.
Today, I heard that everything in the small Buddhist temple was not going well, but the fourth young master's wife seemed to be unaffected at all. She is really lucky!
Back in the courtyard, her mother found time to come out from beside the Princess and saw her struggling to enter with two food boxes. "Do you have to do these things too?"
Fang Yaer's face turned grim. "Mother, there aren't many maids serving the Crown Prince's wife. Let me and the maids take care of the daily food."
The little maid caught a cold today and kept sneezing.
She didn't dare ask the maids to get it, so she had to bring it herself.
Auntie Cha took one and sighed, "Ya'er, otherwise I'd have to sacrifice my dignity and beg the Princess of the County and the Crown Prince's wife to let you go."
what?
Fang Yaer was slightly stunned. "Mom, let me go. Then what?"
Where to go?
Auntie Cha paused, "Go back to southern Yunnan and find a good family, it's better than staying here—"
"No comparison!"
Fang Yaer carried the food box and supported her mother as they walked forward. "Mother, there's no place for me to stay in Prince Ming's mansion. The people there are like wolves and tigers, wanting nothing more than to tear me apart and eat me. Now that I'm in the mansion, even though the prince treats me like a novelty, it's better than going back and being a poor man's wife."
Now that she has lost her virginity, she will not be able to marry into a good family if she goes back.
Why bother?
Now Xiao Yinxiu is too lazy to torture her in the mansion. She is obedient and Pei Chen does not cause trouble for her. He just coaxes her and shows affection to her from time to time. As long as she can have a child, her life will be stable.
"But...if the Crown Prince's wife had chosen you as a concubine, Mother would have been relieved, but now I see..."
"Don't think too far ahead about things like this."
What's more, the old lady couldn't be rescued. She was the one who gave advice to Xiao Yinxiu and also implicated Princess Mingjun. Should she go back to southern Yunnan?
Pei Qiuyun was afraid that she would be even more displeased with her.
"Ya'er, things are not going well today. Maybe the princess will return to southern Yunnan early, and mother will have to go with her. I'm afraid that after this separation, my mother and I will..."
It’s not that we can’t meet, but it’s difficult to meet.
Fang Yaer heard this and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, whispered, "Mother, are things not getting any better?"
Auntie Cha slowly shook her head. "The Princess underestimated the old master's heart. She called the two sisters to come and beg for mercy today, but it only caused a rift between us."
What can Pei Qiuyun do?
She gritted her teeth and sat in Xiao Yinxiu's room, sulking.
Beside him, Xiao Yinxiu lowered his head, his eyes completely dim. With this incident, Xiao Yinxiu had pushed himself into a desperate situation.
Only Pei Chen was leisurely and elegantly sipping hot tea.
From time to time, he would say a few sarcastic words.
"Eldest sister, mother is even rosier than last year. There are no troubles at home. She is living a comfortable life. You, on the other hand, are just worrying about nothing."
Ah!
Pei Qiuyun raised her eyes and said, "No one wants to live in captivity!"
What's more, my mother has been holding the title of Lady of a Duke's Mansion for so many years, and she is also a dignified old lady when walking in the capital.
When it was time for her to retire, she was imprisoned in a small place and could not live in peace.
Pei Chen raised his eyes and said, "Eldest sister, you are so distressed. Your filial piety is evident. Well, while you are still here, I will tell father to pack mother's luggage and send it to your house."
"Pei Chen!"
Pei Qiuyun vented all the pain and grievances she had felt that morning. "That's your mother too!" Tears welled up in her eyes as she finished her words. "Besides my eldest brother, my mother loves you the most. Aren't you afraid of chilling her heart by saying this now?"
Chilling?
Pei Chen was not angry. He held the teacup and took a sip leisurely.
