Jiang Wanying then showed a proud smile and said softly: "Yes, I can finally get rid of it. But you know that I have been a common wife for six years and I am tired of it. Logically speaking, it is time for me to be a real wife."
Not to mention that the two masters and servants were discussing secretly in Qingwan Pavilion, but only about Fu Qiuning. As she walked back, she was confused in her heart, secretly thinking that Jiang Wanying had always hated her to the core. Why would you ask such an intimate question today? Logically speaking, even if she and Jin Fengju were in the same room, she should be extremely jealous. How could she take the initiative to uncover this scar? There must be some problem here, but I still can't figure it out yet. Damn it, what is the problem? Could it be that she was here to test herself? What's the use of just testing this
As she was thinking about it, it was March, when the willow wind was blowing in her face, and she saw two flowers blooming on the apricot tree. She couldn't help but smile, secretly thinking that when the buds were opened a few days ago, , I caught the wind and cold after standing outside for a while, but now the weather is so warm.
Although Fu Qiuning has passed through this green garden many times, he has never visited it seriously. Every time he just took the nearest road to Kangshouyuan. At this time, looking at the willow trees in the distance, the small bridges and flowing water, and the pavilions and pavilions, I couldn't help but have the idea of playing. Thinking that there was nothing going on in Wanfengxuan anyway, I just walked around.
It didn't matter that she was in a hurry, but she forgot that this ancient garden was not like modern times. There were tourists and staff everywhere. If she got lost, she could just ask a few people to get out. I also forgot about my nature as a wanderer, and just followed the flowers, trees and flowing water all the way, looking at the waterside pavilion, green trees and beautiful flowers, and gradually deepened my sight.
Speaking of which, Fu Qiuning did not stay home in modern times. He often visited Suzhou Gardens, Hangzhou West Lake. Even if she is a road addict, she can go out to the Humble Administrator's Garden and the like with her eyes closed, because she herself is from Suzhou. However, looking at it now, I realized that those gardens were much inferior to the Yongcui Garden. The Dream of Red Mansions said that the Grand View Garden occupies several acres of land. The Yongcui Garden is even larger than the Grand View Garden, and because no one lives in it now Inside, the people who clean it are a little lazy, so there are fewer artificial traces, just like a paradise of natural beauty.
She watched and admired until the sun was at its peak. She thought it was time to go back to eat, so she turned around and walked back. After only walking a short distance, she was dumbfounded by the five or six side roads in front of her. She felt a thump in her heart and looked around. , the scenery was gone, and everything was quiet. The garden, which was sunny and beautiful just a moment ago, suddenly seemed a little quiet and gloomy.
Fu Qiuning was a little panicked. She knew that the situation was not good, so she had to speed up and walk around. She had no hope of leaving the garden. She only hoped to meet the cleaner, even one, and let him take her out by then. Just fine. Unexpectedly, after wandering around, I didn't meet anyone. Instead, it seemed I couldn't even see where I was coming from.
It wasn't until after noon that Fu Qiuning was panting from exhaustion. She finally saw a pavilion. She walked in and sat down but refused to get up. I secretly thought that I would definitely not be able to get out, and now I was counting on Yujie Jade Lady to report to Jin Fengju and ask him to send someone to look for me when she saw that I had not returned. When I thought about this, I thought about being found by someone, and asked myself why I was hiding here? If you answer because you can't find a way out, this... this is really a bit embarrassing. I wanted to think of another excuse, but I don't know if it was because I was hungry that my brain was not very clear, or for some other reason. After thinking hard for a long time, I couldn't find an excuse.
As for Yujie Yuniang, when she didn't see Qiu Ning come back for dinner at noon, she felt panicked and hurried to the backyard. They knew that Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanying hated Qiu Ning to the core, and the only one they could rely on was the old lady. It happened to be a coincidence that Jin Fengju returned home for dinner, because the emperor rewarded him with a box of cheese and halva. The old lady liked to eat these things, so after having a meal at Qingwan Pavilion, she took advantage of a little leisure to go to Kangshouyuan. When he saw the two of them approaching from a distance, he stood still and said with a smile: "Why did you come here empty-handed? Where is your grandma? I thought she was going to give it to the old lady..." Before he could finish his sentence, Yu Jie saw He Yuniang's face was full of tears, and he felt a chill in his heart. The smile on his face immediately disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "What happened? Where is your grandma?"
"Little Marquis, grandma went to Qingwan Pavilion this morning to discuss the marriage of Yu Niang and Zhang San with Grandma Wan Er, and she hasn't gone back until now." Yu Jie saw him, but finally found the backbone, and after saying that, "Wow "He cried loudly. Yu Niang also cried at the side: "Little Marquis, please order someone to look for her quickly. I don't know... I don't know if grandma has been harmed by someone."
"Don't talk nonsense. The people in the Marquis Mansion are not that courageous." Jin Fengju lowered his face and scolded in a low voice. Even so, she clenched her hands tightly, thinking to herself, does Wanying really dare to do such a sinful thing? No... not that, even if she wanted to harm Qiu Ning, she would not dare to be so blatant. If there were some conspiracy behind the scenes, there would be some, but she would never dare to kill someone like this.
Thinking of this, he whispered: "I know about this. Don't tell the old lady. She is too old to be shocked. You go back to Wanfengxuan first and leave this matter to me. If Feng'erjiao My son is back, I just said that I have something to do with Qiu Ning, don't scare them." After saying that, he didn't bother to send cheese and halva, and turned back to Qingwan Pavilion.
Seeing him coming back so quickly, Jiang Wanying couldn't help but get up and smile: "Why so fast? Are things in the yamen so urgent? It's better to be a Hanlin editor, every day..." At this point, Jin Fengju looked wrong and couldn't help but Surprised: "What's wrong?"
"Did Qiu Ning come to Qingwan Pavilion this morning?" Jin Fengju asked with a gloomy face. Jiang Wanying couldn't help but feel a "sudden" jump in her heart, and nodded: "Yes, sister came to discuss with me Yu Niang and Zhang My father had already made plans for San's marriage, so I happily agreed, and my sister said goodbye without saying anything else to me. What's wrong?"
"Qiu Ning is missing."
As soon as Jin Fengju spoke, Jiang Wanying sat down on the chair in fright. After a while, she said nervously: "How...how could this happen? My sister was obviously fine when she walked out." Seeing Jin Fengju's unkind expression, she couldn't help but step forward. Crying: "Cousin... Cousin, do you doubt me?"
"Why are you crying? I don't think you have such courage." Jin Fengju patted her shoulder: "Okay, the top priority is not to cry, but to quickly gather people and search everywhere. I don't believe it. At this time Although there are all kinds of overt and covert fights in the house, there are still people who dare to attack Qiu Ning blatantly. After all, she is also my legal wife."
Jiang Wanying nodded and said: "Yes, although several aunts and concubines are a little jealous of my sister, if they dare to do such a heinous thing, then God will not allow it. This kind of thing will never happen in our Hou Mansion. ." As he said that, he went out to look for someone, and he was thinking secretly in his heart. Is there really someone who has the guts to swallow the sky, secretly harmed Mrs. Fu, and is going to put the blame on me? I really don’t want to live anymore. What kind of person is my cousin? He dares to rub sand into his eyes without thinking about how much he weighs...
At that time, all the courtyards in the mansion except Kangshou Yuan were searched, and everyone learned more about Fu Qiuning's disappearance. Many servants and servants were sent out to look for him. They searched until the end of Shen Shi, but found nothing.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jin Fengju became even more anxious and ordered Jin Ming, "Take a few people with me to walk through Yongcui Garden again to see if there are any clues." He had already searched for Yongcui Garden several times, but he didn't expect it. Qiuning will go deep, so nothing will be found.
Because Jin Ming hurriedly called a few smart boys to follow him, he heard Jin Fengju mutter as he walked: "There are not even any extra servants around. Is this the behavior of a grandma who is in charge of the house? Once someone has malicious intentions, ..." At this point, he didn't dare to say any more. Jin Ming thought to himself: Master, that's not the head of the house, just a grandma. Just as he was thinking of this, Jin Fengju said bitterly: "I found her this time. , No matter what, Wanfengxuan has arranged for me to have twenty or thirty people, and if anything happens, I will ask them."
Jin Ming hurriedly agreed, thinking that you had a good plan, but he was afraid that you couldn't be the boss of Second Grandma Ning. Because I looked up and saw a few apricot flowers blooming on the branches, an idea suddenly came to my mind, and I whispered softly: "Sir, didn't I say a few days ago that grandma stayed outside for a long time to look at those flower buds, and ended up getting cold? It can be seen that she is a person who likes spring flowers and autumn moon. Now the garden is full of green willows and red flowers, which is a good scene. A few days ago, the master said that he would come here for a walk when he had time. You see... Could it be that grandma is greedy for the scenery? Did you go deeper into the garden?"
It is really a word that wakes up the dreamer. Jin Fengju stopped for a moment, then slapped his forehead twice, and said in one voice: "Yes, yes, it's very possible. He didn't know the way. He walked to Kangshouyuan many times that day before he finally remembered the way." , it is still a straight path. Now if it goes deep into the garden, where can she get out?" He quickly turned around and ordered: "Quick, you all separate, search in all directions of the garden, shout a few times if necessary ." After saying that, he complained to Jin Ming: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me worry about it for half a day."
