Chapter 867 Chapter 867
In the evening, Shaohua Garden became deserted.
Song Guanzhou cheered up and accompanied Pei An for dinner. Since she had just eaten during the day, she only took a few bites of the soup and vegetables and put down her chopsticks.
"Silang, if Jin Fuyun had not chosen to commit suicide, would she have entered the Yongjun Prince's residence?"
This is a good question.
Pei An put down his chopsticks and looked at Song Guanzhou, "... Guanzhou, do you think she will commit suicide to preserve the reputation of the Princess's Mansion?"
Song Guanzhou shook his head.
"I heard that she had tried to commit suicide in Yingxue Pavilion. For some things, you may have the courage to do them for the first time, but you may not be able to do them again."
Pei An thought today's old duck soup was quite good, and persuaded Song Guanzhou to eat half a bowl.
Just now he said leisurely, "Her mother... is dead."
Song Guanzhou was puzzled. "Who?"
Pei An put down his bowl and chopsticks, "Princess Hong'an, Jin Fuyun's mother, the general's original wife."
Song Guanzhou's face was filled with astonishment.
"How long ago?"
"It was reported at noon that when Princess Hong'an committed suicide, she also left a blood letter. Although the content of the letter is unknown, it is probably nothing more than blaming herself first, trying to arouse sympathy from the palace."
Song Guanzhou leaned back in his chair, his face full of disappointment.
"She is a mother who really loves her daughter."
Pei An knew Song Guanzhou's worries. "Don't worry, even if Jin Fuyun can't pay for her life, her reputation will be completely ruined. She will have no place to go except the Prince Yong's Mansion if she wants to live in the future. But——"
Having said that, Pei An's eyes became sharp.
"If you want to call yourself the Princess of Yong County, that is definitely impossible!"
Song Guanzhou leaned back in his chair, looking up and closing his eyes. His face looked peaceful, but in fact, there was a fire burning in his chest.
What a lucky guy!
She had killed so many people and caused so much trouble, but her parents always helped her to settle it. Now she had lost all her face. She should either have her hair cut to become a nun or be tied with a hemp rope for the rest of her life.
Who could have thought that her mother would pay with her life for her.
Song Guanzhou looked a little lonely. Pei An, with his fiery eyes, understood what was going on. He stood up and sat beside Song Guanzhou, gently stroking her full and smooth forehead and resting his forehead against it. "Guanzhou, let me be honest with you. The emperor cannot tolerate the Jin family. It's only a matter of time!"
"But His Majesty can't do anything to him."
This "he" is Jin Meng.
"It's not time yet!"
Pei An mentioned the Dongjun delegation, "Your Majesty has been ignoring them for quite some time, and he must be considering Jin Meng's attitude. Now that Jin Fuyun has caused such a thing, no matter how powerful Jin Meng is, it is impossible for him to do anything about this marriage under the supervision of Your Majesty."
"what for?"
"My lady, you don't know that Jin Meng is an extremely cruel and cold-blooded superior. My third brother and I went to the general's mansion to study and had a deep impression of him."
On the surface, he looks like an amiable elder.
In fact, he is extremely iron-blooded.
If someone violated military discipline, he would be punished with 50 strokes of the cane, but when it came to Jin Meng, he was beheaded in public as a warning to others.
His iron-fisted approach to military management cannot be questioned.
Pei Che mentioned to him at that time that this man should be a local hero in troubled times, but now the emperor is governing the country well, if he still behaves like this, he will not last long.
"This matter is a big deal, it won't just die down like this."
Song Guanzhou felt powerless. "I never thought that I could do whatever I wanted when I was in a high position. Maybe my parents protected me too well, so I am surprised by the rare things I see."
Pei An kissed her face distressedly, "This world is not black and white. But don't worry, justice will be sought."
When Song Guanzhou heard that Princess Hong'an had died, he suddenly felt bored.
Pei An did not sleep well that night. He had nightmares one after another, which woke him up several times. He had to comfort him and give him water. By the time it was time to go on duty, Pei An could no longer delay and had to get up.
Honeysuckle and a few others came to serve him, and he whispered some instructions to them.
"Young Madam, do whatever you want. When she wakes up, give this to her."
After saying that, he took out a lacquer box carved with butterfly patterns from a corner under the dressing table. The box was about the size of a palm and handed it to Rendong.
Just as Rendong was about to speak, Pei An made a gesture to keep quiet.
The maid in the inner room followed Pei An out, and Ren Dong just whispered, "Fourth Master, is this for your wife?"
It looks small and exquisite, and the things inside must be very valuable.
Pei An sighed, "The day before yesterday was your young lady's birthday, but who would have thought that it would coincide with Prince An's funeral. Such a big thing happened, and I didn't have time to give it to your lady."
When Honeysuckle heard this, she looked up.
"Fourth Master, why don't you give it to the young lady yourself?"
Pei An glanced back at the screen curtain and said, "She is still sleeping soundly. It will be the same if you give it to her after she wakes up."
After Pei An left, Rendong looked down at the box in his hand and smiled.
Dieyi muttered, "We didn't remember it, which is a dereliction of duty. But the Fourth Master remembered it."
Honeysuckle sighed, "Yesterday, the young lady sent me to give a gift to my cousin's wife's daughter. My cousin was surprised by the gift. It's a small golden and jade Buddha. It looks very valuable."
"Such a wonderful fate is really rare."
Song Guanzhou slept until the sun was three feet high before getting up. He rested for two days and took several doses of herbal medicine. He felt a lot more relaxed.
"Madam, this is what the Fourth Young Master asked me to give you."
Song Guanzhou looked at the lacquer box that Ren Dong handed over. It was the size of a palm, small and exquisite. "What is this?"
"This is a birthday gift from the Fourth Young Master."
Huh?
Song Guanzhou looked puzzled, "Did you tell Silang yesterday?"
Ren Dong and Die Yi shook their heads repeatedly, "I never said that. Seeing what the Fourth Young Master meant, I prepared it long ago, thinking that I would come back on the evening of the 22nd of the winter month and give it to you personally, but in the end..."
"Shiro is really thoughtful. I thought he had forgotten about it."
After saying that, he lightly pressed the copper button, and with a click, the lid of the lacquer box popped open.
When he looked inside, he saw a folded document. "What is this?" He looked up and asked Rendong. Rendong shook her head. "I have never opened it, so I don't know."
Dieyi was quick to speak and laughed, "I thought it was a head ornament. Why is the Fourth Young Master so stingy? This palm-sized lacquer box can hold a pair of earrings, a necklace or a bracelet, but it can't hold a gold hairpin."
Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "I don't like those things either. I work every day. I feel more comfortable if you braid my hair."
"Young Madam is naturally beautiful. There is no one in the capital who can compare to her looks. If a girl from another wealthy family had such looks, she would definitely dress up and wear gold and silver. Needless to say, but our young madam doesn't like to put on makeup and prefers to be plain."
Dieyi smiled and said, "That's because our young lady doesn't need to put on any makeup. Her skin is as white as snow and her lips are bright red."
