Chapter 606
Chapter 606
It turned out that after the princess's villa received the imperial edict, Jin Yunfan knew that the wedding date would be postponed. He felt it was troublesome and simply asked the housekeeper to guard the front and back yards strictly.
When talking to Jin Fuyun, they all had good intentions.
Basically, the thieves from Longen Temple are at large, and there are reports that there is a cholera outbreak in the suburbs of Beijing, so it's hard to say when they might get into the city. Jin Fuyun is extremely wealthy, and it would be bad if he were targeted when he went out.
"Brother, you are worrying too much. The incident at Longen Temple must be because the Song family is so powerful that it attracts the attention of villains. I usually act low-key and reserved, so how could I encounter such a bad thing?"
Jin Yunfan still refused to give in, and then continued, "Prince An has passed away, and the funeral is not a small matter. All the officials and dignitaries outside the capital have to come to the capital to pay their respects. There are so many outsiders, and I am afraid that my sister will be bumped into."
Jin Fuyun looked up at Jin Yunfan, and the brother and sister exchanged glances for a moment, "Brother just wants to imprison me."
Upon hearing this, Jin Yunfan hurriedly bowed to Jin Fuyun. Jin Fuyun turned sideways and did not dare to accept the greeting.
"Sister, you have read father's letter. He would not treat you like this. You have always treated me as your own brother, born of the same mother. How could I not know that? Actually, I have disobeyed father's order by letting you go out from time to time."
Jin Fuyun lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she sighed almost inaudibly.
"Forget it, I won't embarrass you, brother."
But after returning to the house, Jin Fuyun always wanted to go out for a walk. After thinking it over, she wanted to take Jiang with her, but Jiang was too timid.
She thought about it for a while, then called for Hua Hua, "Let Qiao Wan come to see me tonight."
"Miss..., if it's not an urgent matter, why don't you let me pass the message? Now Panxi is still working in the yard, so she can tell Brother Qiao."
Since Qiao Wan climbed over the wall for the first time, he did so more and more often.
The maidservant thought it was no problem at first, but as time went on and the number of times increased, the two maids, no matter how ignorant they were, felt that if people knew about this, it would definitely tarnish the young lady's reputation.
"Go and invite!"
There was no doubt about Jin Fuyun's words, and Shishu had no choice but to follow them.
At night, Qiao Wan once again imitated the call of the partridge, depicting the opening of the window frame, and he jumped into the house nimbly.
Jin Fuyun had not yet washed or changed her clothes, and was waiting in the house early.
"I am late, please forgive me, young lady."
"It's nothing, why are you here so late?" Jin Fuyun was suspicious. Qiao Wan sighed, "Since Prince An passed away, the number of patrol officers in this mansion has doubled. It used to be once an hour, but now it's half an hour. I waited outside the second gate for a long time before I found a chance to jump into the inner courtyard."
It rained heavily all day and there was no moon.
It was also very inconvenient to walk in the dark. Qiao Wan missed a step twice and fell with half his body wet. It was really not easy.
"Jin Yunfan, he was afraid that I would run away."
Qiao Wan bowed, "The eldest master knows that the young lady is smart and will not choose such a desperate path. He must be worried that the capital will be in chaos and bring disaster to the princess's villa."
When Jin Fuyun heard this, he looked over with a frown, "What's going on in the capital?"
"I have inquired and heard that Dongjun and Dongqiao sent delegations to the capital respectively. There are also rumors that Prince An's death may be related to Dongjun and Dongqiao. Rumors spread widely in private, and the capital was indeed in chaos for a while."
Jin Fuyun sneered, "I didn't expect it to be this way. Why don't we take advantage of their trick?"
Qiao Wan looked up, "What do you mean, young lady...?"
"Find someone to pass on the message and say that it was the Dongqiao delegation who did it. The purpose was to put the blame on Dongjun, thereby dragging down He Jiang and preventing him from marrying General Jin."
this--
When Qiao Wan heard this, he looked up suddenly.
"Miss, please think twice. This is no small matter. After all, Prince An died peacefully, and no one doubts it. If we add fuel to the fire, we may end up getting burned."
Jin Fuyun sighed coldly, "It's not like you're directly blaming Dongjun. It's not a festival, but the fact that the envoys from both countries came to Beijing at the same time has already aroused suspicion. If you add fuel to the fire, you're just adding fuel to the flames. If you drag He Jiang down like this, I won't have to consider this marriage anymore."
Hearing this, Qiao Wan found it even more unbelievable.
He considered it for a while before speaking, "Does the eldest lady really hate Prince Yong?"
"Correct!"
Jin Fuyun looked at Qiao Wan, and she would always think of Yu Cheng in her heart. Both of them were loyal to her, but Yu Cheng would not question it. Compared with him, Qiao Wan talked more.
"Miss, I am asking you why. I have investigated many matters concerning Prince Yong and I can see that he is very smart. Although he is in the six ministries, he knows that he is not an orthodox prince, so he simply uses laziness and love of play as an excuse to avoid official duties."
"Maybe he is just weak!"
Jin Fuyun was not interested and obviously did not want to say more, but Qiao Wan seemed to be full of doubts and simply said it all at once, "Since Prince Yong sent his concubine away, my subordinates have followed him several times and have never heard of him being promiscuous. As for his personal morality, there is no doubt about it."
He has a good look and a good family background, so why doesn't the girl like him?
Of course Jin Fuyun looked down on it.
"Allow me to say something without being modest. We are very similar. We are both not ordinary people. You also said that he is smart, sharp, and good at dealing with people. How could such a person be willing to be an ordinary prince?"
"this--"
Qiao Wan was speechless and didn't know how to respond to the older girl's question.
"He must have some ambitions in his heart. The marriage with my Jin family might just be a scam. I am unwilling to be my father's pawn."
"Girl, maybe it's not that serious."
Jin Fuyun thought to herself that this Prince Yong had never appeared in the previous three lives, yet he suddenly appeared in this life and even discussed marriage with her. This in itself was an incredible thing.
Furthermore, it is said that the third generation of Dongjun lost its country ten years later.
"He must be planning something big. Otherwise, if he really wanted to be a dissolute prince, he would have indulged in drinking, whoring and gambling. You and Yu Cheng have painstakingly investigated the person, but he does not have these bad habits."
Is it really so perfect?
No, no!
Even Pei An has various shortcomings. Can He Jiang compare with Pei An? Of course not, so he must have a big conspiracy. If this marriage cannot be refused, Jin Fuyun always has a premonition that she will be swallowed up and destroyed by him.
Seeing this, Qiao Wan bowed and answered.
"Don't worry, young lady. I will check again. However, the prince has had two more guards recently, and the people I sent were almost discovered. Fortunately, they were not caught, but we must be careful."
"Okay, now that the capital is in mourning for Prince An, this is a good opportunity. Think of a way to help me get out. I want to meet someone."
Ok?
Qiao Wan looked up and asked, "Excuse me, young lady, who is it?"
Jin Fuyun raised his head and sighed, "Before leaving Beijing, I want to visit Mr. Jiang Qu."
"Miss..., you——are still reluctant to give up Fourth Master Pei?"
