Chapter 46
Chapter 46
Pei An stayed with his father until late at night, talking by candlelight, and said a lot.
As for the handling of the funeral, we will discuss it in detail the next day. After all, she is just a concubine and with her status, it is impossible to have a grand funeral.
"Let's go back. Are you still living in Yanlai Hall?"
Pei An lowered his head, "I went back to Shaohua Garden and watched the boat go down the well to save people. After all, I was weak. I dreamed of Jinzhu last night..." At this point, Pei Jian nodded, "Shou'an and I have known each other for a long time. The girl he raised won't be too bad. It's just that you two are young and frivolous, so you need to get used to it slowly. There are too many traps and temptations in a man's life, but when he reaches the age of a father, he will know how precious it is to have a woman who understands your feelings by your side."
When I returned to Shaohuayuan, the lights in the bedroom were still on.
Pei An took a few quick steps forward, and Lianhua, who was on night watch, heard the sound and quickly opened the door to greet him, "Fourth Young Master, you are finally back."
"what happened?"
Lotus looked into the inner room and said, "Young Madam is having a nightmare again."
The courtyard was filled with female family members. Although the news of Aunt Fang's death had not yet officially reached Shaohua Garden, Jinzhu's death made all the maids and old women a little scared.
Pei An lifted the cotton curtain and saw Song Guanzhou pacing back and forth.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Song Guanzhou raised his eyes. Pei An was startled by her red and swollen eyes. He walked over and gently stroked the corners of her eyes, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Waking up crying from a nightmare?
Honeysuckle lowered the cotton curtain and walked out.
Song Guanzhou sniffed and asked in a tearful voice, "Aunt Fang...is gone, right?"
"How do you know?"
Pei An was surprised. He asked Aru to block the news from Shaohuayuan just because he was afraid of scaring Song Guanzhou. But Song Guanzhou actually knew about it. He heard the beautiful girl in front of him come over and hug his waist, leaning on his chest.
"Aunt Fang came to thank me in my dream and said that Jinzhu would never bother me again, so I could live my life in peace."
Thinking of everything in the dream, her tears softened again, "How could such a good person die? I rescued him, why can't he survive?"
Pei An sighed softly, hugged the woman in his arms to his knees, and gently kissed away her tears. "She cut her neck a few days ago, and the wound was soaked in the well water for so long that it became aggravated and no medicine can cure it."
Song Guanzhou asked in a lost voice, "Why?"
The concubine Fang whom she rescued from the well... died. Does that mean that the plot has not collapsed and everything is still the same? She must have died two years later...
I shed tears for two young women.
And for myself.
Song Guanzhou simply hugged Pei An and cried softly, "Silang, I'm sad."
"I know."
Perhaps it was because he knew that Song Guanzhou had deep feelings for him, or perhaps it was because of their intimate love last night, but at this moment he was deeply shocked by the woman sobbing in his arms.
He superficially believed that Song Guanzhou was just a spoiled and jealous woman who had a desire to possess him like gold, silver and jewelry, but he did not expect that she was heartbroken over the fate of the two women.
After all, she is a kind woman.
He stroked her thin back gently, "Don't worry, life and death are determined by fate."
ha?
Song Guanzhou choked up and looked up at Pei An, but he touched his stubbled chin, which pokes the delicate skin and causes slight pain. He asked with tears in his eyes, "Can't I change my fate?"
"Others may not know, but for me..." His face was handsome and serious. He lowered his head to look at Song Guanzhou and said seriously, "I don't believe in fate after all. I will definitely fight for the final result."
Song Guanzhou was encouraged and nodded heavily.
"I think so too."
After saying that, she buried her face, with tears and snot all over it, in Pei An's chest and used his clothes to wipe it clean.
Pei An was so amused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm really curious about how my father-in-law and mother-in-law raised a quirky little goblin like you."
"Not everything is taught by parents. You have to practice everything yourself. Only when you encounter it, you will know the ins and outs, and understand what you can and cannot do." Song Guanzhou sniffed his nose and said heroically, "Besides...can't I grow up by myself?"
"May I ask, madam, what can I do for you?"
Song Guanzhou's eyes were firm, "Acting bravely is what you can do."
Pei An laughed, "Then what can't be done?"
Song Guanzhou faced Pei An, their noses just a hair's breadth apart. The woman's lips parted slightly, her breath sweet as orchid. "For example, loving Silang is not something you can do."
"Why?"
Song Guanzhou got off him and sighed, "It's good like this now, don't think too much about anything else." Love or not, has always been the most wasteful thing of expression since ancient times.
At night, the two of them were lying on the bed. Song Guanzhou leaned against Pei An and asked out of the blue, "Does Aunt Fang have any family members?"
Pei An shook his head.
"She was a purchased slave, and later assigned to serve my father."
Song Guanzhou was a little depressed, "What about the funeral of this aunt——"
"She kept everything simple. She was of humble status and had no children. The Pei family had a small cemetery in the poplar forest in the eastern suburbs. She must have been buried there." Pei An hugged her, more clingy than usual, and chatted with her from time to time.
“What a pity.”
Since he was young and had no family from his mother's side, he could be buried in a random small grave when he died.
Pei An suddenly added, "We're preparing the coffin tonight, using my father's coffin materials. It's a little difficult to carry the coffin back to my hometown, but it will definitely be more dignified than what an ordinary aunt would do."
Decent?
People in ancient times paid great attention to dignity. A wife had to maintain the dignity of her husband, and a concubine had to maintain the dignity of her masters.
Song Guanzhou turned his back to Pei An, revealing a look of contempt, "People are dead, these things are meaningless, they are all done for the living. If they do it well, the government will get praise from outsiders, which is hypocritical."
This is Song Guanzhou today.
She knew that saying this would not be tolerated by the world.
She had learned a lesson from these things, but she couldn't help it. Pei An was intimate with her skin, his hands on her slender waist, feeling helpless, "My lady, this mouth is unforgiving."
"If we hadn't taken a concubine, my father and mother probably wouldn't be like this now."
Pei An loosened his hand on her waist, turned over and lay flat on his back, his voice cold, "It has never been a concubine or a maid between them. Even if father only watched over her and had children with her for his whole life, there would still be unrest in this house."
Hey!
Song Guanzhou was puzzled and told the truth, "No woman would really like her husband to have sex with other women. If it weren't for my father having a concubine, I'm afraid my mother wouldn't be so determined. Everyone calls me a jealous woman, but who knows that the most jealous woman in this mansion is actually my mother, haha!"
Mrs. Xiao is really hypocritical. She is cruel and ruthless, but she does not allow her daughter-in-law to imitate her.
Song Guanzhou knew that Pei An disliked his biological mother, so he took advantage of the fact that they were lying in the same bed and spoke boldly.
Sure enough, Pei An just remained silent and had no resentment.
"Today I went to the second house. My second uncle gave birth to a whole room of girls, all of whom were not much different in age. Pei Shuyu is really good at dealing with people, and she has taken good care of the sisters born by my aunt."
Song Guanzhou laughed and turned to look at Pei An, "Silang, I'm so tired for her."
