"The young marquis has been running to Wanfengxuan frequently these past two days, but he doesn't stay here overnight. But why do you have to do anything at night? Look at the dark circles under his eyes, it looks like they were painted with ink. Although you You have heavy responsibilities and the emperor's expectations, but you should take good care of yourself. You are the pillar of the Duke's palace." Fu Qiuning sat down opposite Jin Fengju and seemed to be trying to persuade her, but Jin Fengju looked at her smile and said, But I always felt that there was a pun in her words.
So he coughed and said in his words: "It's okay to be busy, but there are too many things to worry about. I don't need anything else. I just want to talk about Qiuning. Living in Wanfengxuan is my worry. , when you are willing to move to Fengya Building, I can let go of my heavy heart. Alas!"
"Wanfengxuan has been a bit strange these past few days." Fu Qiuning nodded seriously: "First of all, those snakes have come out at this time of year. Usually they can only be seen nearly half a month later. Then these two days It was haunted again at night, and the ghost was even more ridiculous. At first, it was said to be an innocent ghost in this yard, but then I remembered that my father told me that the concubine in this yard was obviously dead by Shen Tang. So I asked her if she had gone to the wrong place. , I only asked one question, but she left without saying a word. It was obvious that she was looking in the wrong place. Is it funny or not? Is there such a confused ghost in the world? Especially a ghost with deep resentment and resentment. She She can’t even remember where the person who harmed her lives.”
Jin Fengju was still very shocked on the surface, but in fact he was already sweating. He nodded and said: "Qiu Ning, you are right, it is a bit abnormal. However, this Wanfengxuan is unsettled after all, so why not..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Fu Qiuning. She smiled and said, "What's the point? I think that this way, Wanfengxuan will be more lively. It was indeed a bit cold before. Fortunately, I was considerate and dialed it." There are so many people here to serve me, and now there is such an interesting episode. I am living well, so don’t make any more plans, little Marquis."
Jin Fengju sighed dejectedly. He understood that at this point, no matter whether Fu Qiuning saw through the tricks he played, this operation would end in complete failure.
"Do you want to go out tonight?" Seeing Jin Fengju finish a cup of tea unknowingly, Fu Qiuning gave him another cup. However, Jin Fengju gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not going out. I've neglected my beloved wife these days. Today You should be gentle and gentle tonight." Humph, I want you to give me such energy, I have to drain you tonight.
Fu Qiuning's cheeks were slightly red, but his eyes looked at Jin Fengju with a bit of viciousness, and he wanted to come over, huh, it's not sure who squeezed who.
Jin Fengju admitted that he really couldn't think of any good ideas anymore and forced Fu Qiuning to move out. When he told the old lady, the old lady was dumbfounded. In the end, she had to give her grandson an idea and said: "Wanying has always come to the city." Shen, you might as well let her help you think of a way, but there is no rush. At this moment, listening to what you said, Qiu Ning has probably seen through your trick. If you push too hard, it will not be beautiful. Alas! Your grandma This is the first time in my life that I have met such a woman. Logically speaking, as a young prince, you don’t have to be so accommodating. But now that you have her in your heart, you are really helpless."
Therefore, Jin Fengju thought about the days when he had neglected Jiang Wanying, and the scene when the two children cried on his shoulders that day. Although he knew in his heart that 90% of the time it was Jiang Wanying who ordered the children to cry in front of him, he still felt heartbroken. So he went to Qingwan Pavilion, but in the end he was still a little cold. He only said that Jiang Wanying had messed up the matter this time, and asked her to find a way to get Fu Qiuning to move out of Wanfengxuan, otherwise she would not forgive her.
Jiang Wanying really suffered a big loss this time, but fortunately her cousin finally relaxed. As for whether Fu Qiuning will move out of Wanfengxuan, we can wait and see. So I put this matter aside for the time being.
After half a month of this, Jin Pengzhan finally went to Jiangnan to take up his post. Before leaving, two brothers, Jin Fengju and Jin Luanfeng, each gave him a red envelope of ten thousand taels of silver. Needless to say, the two brothers had the same idea, and they used this gesture to tell him: We have plenty of money, so don't covet those with evil intentions. Salt merchant's. Everyone else also expressed their opinions and did not mention it.
However, Mrs. Liu finally left her two children in the mansion. She followed her husband south and brought several concubines with her, while Aunt Han and Aunt Mingyan stayed in the mansion with their respective children. However, Ms. Liu was not at ease about entrusting her children to them. Fortunately, her children were grown up and lived in Mrs. Jin's Kangshou Yuan. It was good to have servants to take care of them.
On this day, Jinfeng was raised to the court. Prince Rong held his arm and refused to let go, saying that if he didn't go to the palace today, the two of them would never see each other again. Jin Fengju was helpless and thought it was time to go and have a look. My sister was not an unreasonable person, so why was she so unyielding this time? After all, her brother-in-law is a prince, what does she want? Once this reputation of jealousy spreads, it will be difficult to explain it in front of the emperor and the queen mother.
As Yin was about to leave, he saw a boy beside Jin Yu riding over on horseback. Before he could get off the horse, he shouted: "Master Hou, hurry up... go back quickly, something big happened at home."
"What happened?" Jin Fengju's face suddenly turned pale. Just looking at the boy's expression, it was obvious that this big incident at home was not a good thing.
"Aunt... When my aunt was on her way back to Beijing, the whole family... The whole family was robbed by the gangsters. I heard that Mr. Feng and my uncle were killed on the spot. I don't know whether my aunt and the ladies are alive or dead. The old lady just fainted, and the second wife was crying like a child. Yes, the second master has gone to the suburbs of Beijing. He has already sent people to look for him. I asked you to go back as soon as possible. Now uncle Feng is in a hurry to go out to find someone for questioning."
The young man rolled off the horse, probably knowing that the matter was important, so he didn't care about panting and told the matter in one breath. Before he could finish speaking, Jin Fengju, Jin Ming and even Prince Rong were shocked and stunned.
"Brother-in-law..." Jin Fengju only said one sentence, and Prince Rong understood it and said quickly: "Go and do your work quickly. I will send someone out to help inquire later." Before he finished speaking, Jin Fengju turned over and Ma Jue The dust went away, and Jin Ming was left rushing to the Hou Mansion. Only the boy who came to report the news couldn't run anymore, so he sat under the wall to catch his breath.
Jin Fengju dismounted from the front door of the mansion. At this time, the mansion was already filled with dark clouds, and sobs could be heard coming from the surroundings from time to time. Jin Yanfang is a very good person. As a girl, she was gentle and generous, and she was loved by people. Now that they heard about her suffering, many people couldn't help but shed tears. You know, if you fall into the hands of gangsters, as a woman, can you still have a good son
He hurried to Kangshouyuan, only to hear loud cries coming from inside.
Jin Yu was also there at this time, but her mother and sister-in-law were crying and couldn't move, leaving the Duke at a loss as to what to do. Seeing his son come in, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Fengju, you are the only one in the family now. Think about it quickly, how are you going to come up with this idea?"
"Fengju... Fengju... think of a way to save Yanfang, she is the only girl I have..."
As soon as Mrs. Fang saw Jin Fengju, she rushed over. Jin Fengju looked sad and quickly supported her and said: "Second aunt, please take care of yourself. I swear, as long as sister Fang is alive, no matter...what happens to her, as long as she can save people, my nephew will do whatever it takes." No one in this house is allowed to treat her lightly. My nephew will protect her from all wind and rain and make her happy and safe throughout her life."
These words seemed a bit abrupt, and it should not have been said by Jin Fengju. It should be noted that when Jin Yanfang came back, she would naturally live in Jinshi Mansion, and her parents would make the decisions for her. However, Jin Fengju knew very well that these were the only words that could best comfort Mrs. Fang now. Mr. Feng and his son died tragically, but only the female family members were missing. Even if they didn't say it, everyone knew the fate. Even if she was rescued in the future, there would be no shame in living. Even if she didn't want to die, in a family like the Duke's Mansion, in order to keep her reputation, she would have to be forced to die. Just as Fu Qiuning expected, he would end up being divorced and going home.
Therefore, what Mrs. Fang is currently worried about is not her daughter's life. Since she was not killed on the spot, it means she is still alive. With the current power of the Jin family, it is not impossible to rescue her. What she is most worried about is after her daughter is rescued.
A loving mother naturally hopes that her daughter will live well. But even her husband, she didn't know if she could convince her. After all, in a wealthy family, under the title of "a century-old noble family", everyone must be prepared and willing to sacrifice for their family and reputation at any time. Prepare, let alone a woman who has lost her virginity.
Now, with just one word, Jin Feng could bear all of Mrs. Fang's worries. He is now the soul of the entire Duke's palace. Although he is young and is a nephew, even his father, uncle, brothers and sisters have to take his words seriously. He said that he would protect Jin Yanfang, even his father and uncle. You have to sell him some face. In this way, my daughter's life was finally guaranteed. What's more, the eldest brother-in-law and her husband may not be hard-hearted people. With Jin Fengju, they would probably be happy to go along with the situation, which is not impossible.
After comforting Mrs. Fang, Jin Fengju came to his mother again. Although Mrs. Jiang was not as sad as Mrs. Fang, she felt a little uncomfortable. She was wiping her tears with a handkerchief. When she saw her son coming, she choked up and said, "I must have a hard time thinking about this." The solution is to rescue the people first and then..." At this point, I couldn't go on.
"Yes, it is up to the son to work hard. Mother, don't be sad. It's important to take care of yourself." Jin Fengju wiped his mother's tears, came to the old lady again, shook her hand and said firmly: "Ancestor, please relax. , at your age, you can't help but be overly sad. With your grandson here, as long as Yanfang is still alive, your grandson will definitely save their mother and son."
