Prince Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Alas! This time, I did indeed act out of proportion. I..." He raised his head and looked up. Jin Feng understood and said to Jin Ming: "Go out and watch. No one is allowed to come near." After seeing Jin Ming go out, Fang turned around and said, "Okay, now if you have something to say, just say it. What is this big deal?"
"I... I went to a brothel incognito last year. I fell in love with a young prostitute, so I ransomed her body and kept her outside. Now I let your sister know about it." Prince Rong lowered his head and saw Jin Fengju just frowning and said lightly. He said: "It's not unusual for you to have a wife. A woman of this status cannot be accepted into the prince's palace, right? The emperor will scold her if he finds out."
Zhao Lun opened his mouth several times, and finally sighed and said: "The problem is... that Qing Guer now, she... she has a child."
"What did you say?"
Jin Feng raised his head suddenly, and slowly moved the tea lid with his hand. Suddenly it fell on the tea bowl, making a crisp "ding" sound.
Prince Rong smiled bitterly and said: "I just learned about this, Feng Ju, you also know that I have few heirs. This... I really can't bear to part with this child, but... But if Qiu Ju gives birth to a child and lives outside, she is a woman's family." , what should people say? What will happen to the child in the future? I can’t let the flesh and blood of my noble prince wander outside and be bullied by others, right?"
Jin Fengju said decisively: "Brother-in-law, she is a prostitute. Even if she is a prostitute, she cannot escape her identity as a prostitute. You understand the stakes in this, you don't need me to tell you, right?"
Prince Rong said with a bitter face: "Because I understood, I discussed with your sister to see if we could let her meet Qiu Ju by chance, and then recognize her as a foster sister and bring her into the house. Wouldn't this be logical? ? I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect that your sister would get angry when she heard about this. No, she has been in a cold war with me for nearly half a month. I have been looking for you, wanting you to help me make peace, but you just chose to do it. I don’t have time, so I’ll put it off until today.”
Jin Fengju took a breath of air, stood up and paced, "No wonder my sister is annoyed with you. She is the rich daughter of the Duke of Guo. If you ask her to adopt a prostitute as her adopted sister, how can she not be annoyed? What's more, you If you fall in love with a good woman, that's it. At most, you can give her a few more taels of silver, carry her in a small sedan chair to be a concubine, and give birth to a child and make her your aunt. It's no big deal. You just provoked a prostitute and got her pregnant. My child, the emperor values status most, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what you did was too thoughtless."
Prince Rong Zhao Lun swallowed his saliva, looked at his brother-in-law and said: "No... she is not just a prostitute, she... is... a sin... the daughter of a guilty minister..." After saying this, Jin Fengju seemed to have been restrained. Stopping, he sighed and said, "Oh! I only found out later. Qiu Ju only told me when she knew she was pregnant."
"You... you..." Jin Fengju said the word "you" two times in a row. If this was his own brother, he would have started to curse at this time. However, although the other person was his brother-in-law, he was also a prince. Not only can't you scold him, but you have to find a way to wipe his butt clean. This time he only raised Jinfeng to the fire, and his throat went dry in an instant.
"Do you dare to guarantee that the child is yours?" After pacing back and forth for a few times, Jin Fengju finally stood still and looked at Prince Rong seriously: "Do you know that in order for a woman to marry into a wealthy family, especially a wealthy family like yours? , anything is possible.”
"It can't be someone else's. I sent two close guards to guard the house day and night. The maids and women who serve are all old people from Zhuangzi. There will definitely be nothing wrong." Prince Rong waved his hand: "And forget it. Calculating the date, it’s right, there’s no way it could be such a coincidence.”
For a moment, Jin Fengju felt like he had a splitting headache. He kept rubbing his eyebrows with his hands. After a long while, he whispered softly: "You don't want to tell me that my sister came back this time. Although she was visiting Sister Fang in name, she was not here for a short time." I don’t plan to go back to the palace with you anytime soon, right?”
"Feng Ju, you are really smart." Zhao Lun laughed a few times with a guilty conscience: "That's why I sent her back in person. I can't let anyone know that our husband and wife are not getting along now. Otherwise, I just need to check it lightly." Are you out yet?"
Jin Fengju covered his chest with his hands, sat down on the chair angrily, looked at Prince Rong and gritted his teeth: "What time is it now? You actually caused such a thing, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you... How do you want me to say hello to you?" Woolen cloth?"
Zhao Lun drooped his head and said: "I also know that this matter is my fault. To be honest, at that time, I just loved her for her beauty and softness, and didn't think about anything else. Who knew that she would be pregnant with a child? I guess this was her fate. Fengju, just tell me whether you are willing to help me."
"Let me think of a way." Jin Fengju sighed, thought for a moment, then stood up suddenly and said, "I'm going to persuade my sister to go back with you this time. Otherwise, it will be a big trouble if people find out."
Zhao Lun smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know your sister's temper? She is the most stubborn. She has made up her mind, and I don't want her to change it. If she really has a temper, she would rather fight to the death, and don't care about any trouble? Otherwise, I will I don’t need to come to you to help me do it.”
Jin Fengju shook his hand and said angrily: "Brother-in-law knows my sister well, and what he said is true to every word."
Zhao Lun said dejectedly: "I have a powerful wife, this is what I will end up with, Fengju, you will not understand me. In the palace, if I look at a hen twice, your sister will sneer a few times."
Jin Fengju couldn't help but laugh out loud at this sentence. He shook his head and said, "Don't hurt my sister too much. Just like you said, if you look at the hen more than once and still sneer, then you have openly offended someone." Whore, it’s time for her to hunt you down with a knife.”
Although I said this, I still thought that I had a wonderful wife. Moreover, Qiu Ning and her sister are not as powerful as each other. My elder sister is quick to talk and will explain everything clearly in person; Qiu Ning is a typical person who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Once she is unhappy with anything, she will hide it in her heart but remain the same on the face. The most hateful thing is that once she makes up her mind, she never gives up.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel some sympathy for my brother-in-law, and said softly: "That's all, brother-in-law, let's go back now. As for my sister, the most important thing is to cover up this matter and never let Prince Lie Hong." The prince learned.”
When Zhao Lun saw that Jin Fengju agreed to help him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hugged him and said, "Fengju, with your words, my brother-in-law will feel relieved. You can plan this matter. Whatever you need me to do, I will do it." I will fully cooperate with you."
Jin Fengju had no energy to say anything. After sending Prince Rong out, he returned to the study.
About noon, I sent the boy out to inquire. The boy came back and said, "When I come back to you, my second grandma has come out of Kangshou Yuan, and food has just been served in Qingwan Pavilion. When I met you, my second grandma said that I was afraid that I was going to kill you." I have something to do with her, so I have prepared some food for you and asked me to come over and use it."
Jin Fengju nodded, walked out of the study, and came to Qingwan Pavilion. Sure enough, he saw Jiang Wanying and a pair of children waiting there. When they saw him coming, Jin Zhenxuan and Jin Xiuzhen rushed towards him, showing great affection. Jin Fengju was in a good mood. He picked up a pair of children and kissed them. Jiang Wanying ordered someone to take off the cover of the food and said with a smile: "I didn't know that I was coming over for dinner today, and I didn't prepare anything you like to eat. But today This suckling pig is well roasted. If you like meat, just make do with it. Yes, the hot mutton soup is boiling in the small kitchen. Qiuxia, please bring me a big bowl.
Jin Fengju and his two children sat down at the table and saw more than twenty dishes listed on the table. This has always been Jiang Wanying's rule. It is said that when she was a girl in the boudoir, her home was more luxurious. After coming to the Hou Mansion, she was already extremely luxurious. As frugal as he was, this reminded him of Wanfengxuan. Fu Qiuning would never have more than six dishes on the table. If he didn't go there, the ladies would just have one meat and one vegetable with a bowl of soup. It was really Extremely simple.
But now is not the time to think about this, because he looked at Jiang Wanying and said, "Sister, are you staying in the old lady's house? What do you think of the look on her face?"
Jiang Wanying shook her head and said solemnly: "It's not that good. Although we were joking, I saw that my sister's eyes were not smiling, and she was very cold. Now I am staying in the old lady's room, and I haven't said when I will return to the palace. Could it be? Are you going to stay in the mansion for a few days?"
Jin Fengju's frown deepened. Qiuxia brought the mutton soup. He took a few sips and then hesitated: "Did you tell your sister about me? Are you considering if I can persuade her now?"
Jiang Wanying put a piece of chicken with chopsticks into his bowl, shook her head and said, "I told you, don't go there at this time, or you'll run into trouble. Even today, I made a few jokes, and my sister took away some of what I said. That's right. Sister Fu is smart and saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she didn't open her mouth. As expected, the less you say, the less you make mistakes. If I go now, if you don't persuade me, I'll do it. If you want to persuade me for something, don't accept it as soon as possible, sister. How powerful is your mouth? It’s not like you don’t know, otherwise you would be able to defeat the prince?"
Jin Fengju smiled bitterly and said: "Don't say such words again. He is a prince, and he may sit in that seat in the future. It is taboo to take what cannot be taken." After saying this, Jiang Wanying asked: " What happened? The prince just left like that. Logically speaking, my sister shouldn’t go back to her parents’ home so easily. She is the princess now, so going back home is no different from the mother-in-law’s marriage. It can be seen that there is a big quarrel with the prince, but I don’t know Because of what happened, if I know, tell me and I will see if I can get a chance to persuade my sister."
