Chapter 931 Chapter 931
Everyone in the capital city was keeping their eyes on Princess Hong'an's villa.
Especially since Prince An's Mansion had just completed the funeral ceremony, white banners were hung in the princess's villa the next day, and the whole house was in mourning. With just a quick question, everyone knew that Princess Hong'an had passed away.
Why?
It’s only been a few days since you arrived in Beijing?
There is never a shortage of curious people, not to mention that under the imperial city, the common people live a hard and tiring life, and they really have to find entertainment by following the trivial matters of these wealthy and powerful families.
There was also a rumor that on the day of the funeral at Prince An's Mansion, Princess Hong'an was called by Prince An. After all, they were all members of the Liu family, so it was good for her to have someone accompany her on her journey to the underworld.
Some people also refuted, "You are wrong. My seventh aunt's son's cousin worked as a maid in the kitchen of the princess's villa. She heard that the princess died tragically. It seems that she was frightened by the wronged spirit in the princess's villa."
When they heard that it was an injustice, they clapped their hands and said that it was very likely.
"After all, it's still her daughter who has a strong destiny. I heard that she killed her fiancé in the past, and now she is engaged to Prince Yong. Unexpectedly, she failed to kill the prince, but harmed her mother instead."
There were many rumors, and it happened to be the funeral of the royal princess.
Normally, any wealthy family would have to hire some help from outside for funerals, but this time it was unusual for the princess's villa not to hire a single person.
"impossible?"
The listeners were shocked. "Ordinary people have to invite monks to pray for the souls of the deceased, but this is a princess from the royal family!"
"Yes! This princess is not an ordinary little princess. She has a husband who is a general."
With such a noble status, how could his funeral be so sloppy?
"Well, you don't know. I heard that the princess passed away in a strange way, at a bad time. We asked the Imperial Observatory to look at the date, but it didn't happen before the New Year."
Gee!
A bunch of people sighed, "If this is the case, the marriage between the eldest daughter of the Princess's family and Prince Yong will probably be delayed again and again!"
"will not!"
In a corner, there sat a dusty traveler, with worn clothes and ordinary appearance. Everyone took a look and laughed at him, "Brother, tell me, why don't you know it?"
The man picked up the large bowl of coarse tea and drank it all in one gulp.
He waved again, calling the waiter who was carrying hot water, "Add another bowl."
Some people were also anxious, "Brother, please tell me, is it possible that the two of them are not able to make it, and the engagement... is no longer valid?"
The traveler smiled strangely, "You all only know that there are countless wronged souls in this princess's villa, and you think that the princess was taken away by the wronged souls, but that's not the case!"
Damn!
——Why don’t you just tell me? Why keep us in suspense?
The man picked up the big bowl again and ate it all up, not even spitting out the tea. He swallowed it all.
The tea bowl fell onto the wooden table with a thud.
Everyone was about to urge him on, but they were also startled.
Before he could say anything more, the traveler stood up, picked up the tattered bag behind him, picked up a walking stick, and walked away.
When he reached the door, he turned back and sneered, "The Jin family gave birth to an evil creature. He committed adultery with Prince Yong when Prince An's mansion was about to hold a funeral. The county prince was incompetent in raising his daughter and had no face to face the people of the world, so he swallowed gold and committed suicide."
Hey!
Some people even stood up out of fear, stuttering, "My dear..., you shouldn't spread rumors like this."
"That's right, that's right. Someone made a joke before, and he was arrested by the government and beaten with ten boards—"
"The reputation of the young lady as a whore has long been rotten!"
After the traveler finished speaking, he opened the tattered blue cotton curtain and left in the cold wind. Someone chased him out, but the heavy snow and white fog blinded their eyes, and in a moment there was no trace of the traveler left.
"This person must be talking nonsense."
Someone immediately grumbled, and the others nodded, "From the accent of this rough guy, it's obvious that he's not from the capital. He's an ignorant country bumpkin who's trying to attract attention."
After a burst of noise, the tea drinkers watched the charcoal fire crackling in the house and the boiling water making the teapot lid flap.
After a period of silence, someone spoke carefully, "Hello, foreigners, just leave as you say, leaving me waiting, hey!"
Others quickly said, "Have some tea! Let's not ask about the affairs of rich people."
But anyone who passed by the gate of the princess's villa would look around.
Qin Qingdong took advantage of the opportunity and visited Shaohua Garden on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. It was snowing heavily. Qin Qingdong, wearing a brocade robe, a snow hat and a scarf, even his hand warmer, knocked on the gate of Shaohua Garden with Chun Ge'er.
Alu opened the door and saw that it was Qin Qingdong, his face was full of smiles.
"Second Master, you know how to choose a day. Last night, the young mistress told me that she would invite you to eat mutton today."
Qin Qingdong chuckled, "That saves you the trouble of making a trip. It's already bright in the day, have Silang and your young lady gotten up yet?"
Alu pointed to the study and said, "Young Madam has been very busy these days, taking care of the accounts day and night."
Qin Qingdong shook his head, "It's all because of that bastard Xiao Wulang. He made your young lady suffer so much."
As they were talking, they had already walked through the corridor and arrived at the main door. He Hua lifted the door curtain and almost bumped into Qin Qingdong, who scolded her, "Hehehehe! You blind little girl, you're already in my arms."
This sentence made Lotus almost blush.
It wasn't because of shame, but rather anger, "Second Young Master is so scary so early in the morning!"
Check it out!
This wooden maid was trained by Song Guanzhou, and she dared to challenge him. Qin Qingdong did not indulge her and said with a fake smile, "Good girl, I will go back to the mansion later, can I take you with me?"
Lotus immediately moved back and said, "The Second Young Master is drunk. I will talk to the Fourth Young Lady next day and let her take care of you."
"what!"
Qin Qingdong became malicious and blew a breath at the little maid. Hehua cried out and ran away in panic, making Chun Ge and Alu almost unable to hold back their laughter.
"Hmph! I don't know how to appreciate it!"
He turned to the two servants and kicked one of them. The force was not strong, but it made Chun Ge stagger and almost fall. "Second Young Master, it's okay for you to tease others, but don't waste your energy on the sisters of Shaohua Garden."
Ouch!
I don't like to hear this.
Qin Qingdong narrowed his eyes, "If I could see the maids in Shaohua Garden with my own eyes, I would be so proud of them. It's a pity that they are so stupid and not worthy of my attention!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei An's voice was heard from inside the room.
"Xi Hui, who are you calling stupid?"
The two servants quickly opened the door curtain, and when Qin Qingdong stepped in, the words on his lips suddenly changed, "Where is Jin Fuyun!"
Ok?
"What did Xi Hui hear?"
"The general came to the capital yesterday. I'm afraid I can't hide this from you."
Pei An invited Qin Qingdong in, Dieyi brought hot tea, and the maids followed in carrying food boxes.
On the high table, hot tea was brewed.
The maids also took out two plates of seven-layer pastry, a plate of dried fruits, and a plate of cloud cake from the food boxes.
Among them, there are seven layers of Su, which is still hot.
"Oh, is this freshly baked?"
