Lianhua immediately picked up her fingers and started to complain, "Madam, your family is well-off, and you are a dignified and virtuous person, but your stepmother made you marry the sickly eldest son of our family. You have become a widow at such a young age."
"Madam, what a pity."
Xu Lingqiao choked up and became even more heartbroken.
Lianhua continued, "Our famous wife of the Crown Prince, now... you can see that she is no longer as glorious as she used to be. Her house is full of concubines and maids taken in by the Crown Prince. She lives a worse life than the eldest young master's wife."
Xu Lingqiao lowered his head and sighed.
"That's true. I saw her several times and she looked pale and older."
Lotus nodded heavily.
"The prince's wife is only thirty years old, but the prince no longer stays overnight in her room. Cousin, there are only three or five masters in this mansion. How many of them are satisfied?"
When Xu Lingqiao heard this, she felt as bitter as Coptis chinensis.
"Yeah, I am petty."
"Miss, what are you talking about? In this world, you are the only woman who can be compared with the young lady. From you, I finally know that women can also find a way to live on their own."
At this point, Lianhua leaned close to Xu Lingqiao's ear and whispered, "When the old lady was not imprisoned, she was so cruel. The young lady is in the back house, not liked by the fourth young master, nor is she pleased by the old lady. The life she leads every day is worse than death."
"I have heard Sister Rendong say a little bit, but looking at Guan Zhou now, he and the fourth young master are a loving couple."
Lotus shook her head.
"The young lady knows in her heart that men's love is very shallow. It is common for it to be there at one moment and gone the next."
"this--"
Xu Lingqiao stopped crying unconsciously, but looked at Lianhua with a surprised look on her face, "Jin Fuyun has long coveted the Fourth Young Master, but the Fourth Young Master didn't believe it and even quarreled with the Young Madam many times over this. But what can a cheap woman do? Because of her noble status, she can do whatever she wants."
Having said that, Lotus sighed.
"The young lady has never counted on the fourth young master, so, cousin, compared to your life, everything else is trivial. Why keep it in your heart and torture yourself when you think about it?"
Lianhua was so eloquent that it took her a while to appease Xu Lingqiao.
The master and servant lay down, leaning on a soft pillow, head to head, very close, "Cousin, I still hope that you can get married, find a simple and honest man, who treats you well from the bottom of his heart, and it would be best if his parents are not at home, so that no one dares to bully you."
Xu Lingqiao laughed out loud.
"You bad girl, you just said that I should not marry, but now you want me to find a husband quickly."
Lotus smiled softly, "If the son-in-law bullies you, I will put a sack on him and beat him up in the middle of the night. If you keep doing this, he will never dare to look down on you again."
"Hun said."
Xu Ling pouted and said, "If she is so abominable, I will never marry her."
Lotus helped the girl tuck in the quilt, "Young Madam also said that men are elegant and considerate before they get married, but they really change after they get married."
Xu Lingqiao listened and sighed.
"It's still Guanzhou that's clear."
Song Guanzhou, who was missed by her cousin, was so clear-headed that she was grinning. She ran to Yanlaitang at night, reconciled her past grudges with Pei An and his wife, and became loving again.
But because of his love, Song Guanzhou was still a little worried.
In the beautiful early winter scenery, Song Guanzhou looked at Qin Qingdong who was strolling around and said jokingly, "You're not doing anything today?"
Being a mourner for Prince An is a tough job.
It was winter, but Qin Qingdong was tanned black. He had some free time now, so he made a rare trip to Shaohua Garden. One reason was to deliver some rewards from the palace, and the other was to see how Song Guanzhou was doing.
"Donkeys and mules also need to rest, let alone I am a human being."
He leaned back in his chair, fanning himself with a folding fan and looking up at the sky. The thick white clouds were being chased by the wind and were moving slowly across the blue sky.
"Tell the queen that the rewards I have received are already quite a lot, and I don't deserve more."
The Crown Princess is not stingy, and the Queen is even more generous.
At the end of the year, her private vault was filled with gold and silver jewelry, and she even had several boxes of gold and silver jewelry.
Song Guanzhou asked Rendong and a few others to point them out. Even though they had seen the world, they were still shocked when they saw the dazzling array of rewards.
Qin Qingdong came in today, holding a lacquer box that was half a foot long and wide.
"For you."
Song Guanzhou didn't dare to take it, so Qin Qingdong stuffed it into her arms and said, "This box is not valuable. If you like it, ask the maids to sew it on your hairpins and shoes, or make it into an ornament to hang around your waist."
Qin Qingdong's words sounded casual. Song Guanzhou was skeptical and opened it in front of him. He took a glance and gasped.
With a snap, close the lid.
"You are kidding me. I dare not put this huge pearl on my shoes, even if you dare to say so."
"The queen gave it to me. She said that this tribute from the East China Sea is not of very good quality. I hope you don't mind it."
Song Guanzhou almost knelt down.
"You are joking, Madam. Even if you give me one, I will treat it as a treasure."
Qin Qingdong squinted his eyes and said, "Tsk!"
After taking the hot tea from Honeysuckle and taking a sip, he said slowly, "You have made some progress. The sizes of this box are not uniform. It would not look good if it was made into a necklace or bracelet. Wen Si said that this year, the ladies in the capital all like to sew such a big Dongzhu on their shoes."
Song Guanzhou shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no, no, this is a waste of natural resources."
Qin Qingdong winked at Rendong, who immediately understood and ordered the maids and servants of Shaohua Garden to hide back in their rooms, leaving an open space in the yard for the two of them.
Song Guanzhou stroked his long braid and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"
"nothing."
Qin Qingdong leaned forward halfway and lowered his voice, "Thanks to your reminder, my elder sister escaped a disaster a few days ago."
Ok?
Song Guanzhou turned his head to look, somewhat confused.
"You once told me to persuade my elder sister not to wear gemstones of unknown origin. No matter how exquisite and beautiful they are, it is best to throw them in the warehouse."
Song Guanzhou nodded.
"Yes, this is not uncommon. Some stones carry radiation. Pregnant women are already weak and cannot withstand such damage."
Qin Qingdong sat upright and spoke truthfully.
"I sent this bracelet to honor my elder sister. It is extremely beautiful. I have seen it with my own eyes. My elder sister liked it at first, but after hearing what I said before, she became suspicious. She thought that it was in conflict with Bing Qinglu recently, so she simply put it in the warehouse."
"Ice green gemstone?"
Qin Qingdong nodded. "It's not entirely dazzling, but it does make people feel refreshed when they look at it."
Song Guanzhou curled his lips, "...You are getting more and more outrageous."
