Jin Yanqiu nodded. After Fu Qiuning walked down the steps, she suddenly asked: "You were in Fengju's study last night, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone back to Wanfengxuan so early in the morning. He... What did he say?"
"The young prince said that if this matter is not handled well, it will be a complete failure. Just because the emperor values virtue the most, Prince Nalie investigated everything clearly. Now the emperor is very disappointed with Prince Rong's character and determination. , what will it mean if the emperor is disappointed, the princess must also know in her heart that the young prince stayed up all night last night, just thinking about how to deal with it." Fu Qiuning turned around, lowered his head and answered softly.
Jin Yanqiu's body shook for a moment, but he soon regained his composure and asked in a deep voice: "Brother, has he... come up with a countermeasure?"
Fu Qiuning sighed and said: "There is no good countermeasure, it's just a temporary measure. It's probably impossible to survive this incident safely, so I said we can only try to minimize the harm. "
Jin Yanqiu's body softened and she leaned slumped on the pillar, murmuring to herself: "Is it really my fault for being willful?" Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly saw Fu Qiuning still standing there, so she cheered up and waved: "You Go ahead."
"Yes, I'm retiring." Fu Qiuning felt blessed, turned and left, and walked for more than ten steps. When he looked back, he found that Jin Yanqiu was still sitting there, like a wood carving and clay sculpture. She thought to herself that if the princess still didn't understand, then she would really have nothing to do.
Returning to Wanfengxuan, he probably knew the danger that Duke Jingguo was currently facing, and the servants did not dare to talk and laugh loudly. Fu Qiuning found a boy and ordered him to wait in the study room in the front yard. If Jin Fengju comes back, he will come at any time. Come and tell yourself something. Then he picked up the unfinished silk handkerchief and continued to embroider peonies on it, while secretly thinking about the whole thing and wondering if there was any other breakthrough.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Yu Jie coming over and saying, "Grandma, the palace has sent someone to see grandma. She is waiting outside the door right now."
Fu Qiuning's eyes lit up, but his face quickly dimmed, and he sneered: "Really? It's not the annual holiday, so why did you think of sending someone to see me now? Just say I'm sick, and I'm not here." After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to embroider. After a while, he heard a laughing voice saying: "My aunt, please don't be angry. The prince has been thinking about my aunt a few years ago. He wanted to send people to check her out a few times, but she turned to the prince." It's not good. The prince asked the doctor to take medicine and serve at the bedside, so he was so busy that he forgot about it. Now that the old prince's health has just begun to improve, the prince and his wife immediately sent their servants over. "
Fu Qiuning put down the embroidery and pretended to be surprised: "What? Grandpa is sick? What disease? How are you now? Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing?" As he spoke, his expression finally softened, and he said to Yu Jie: "Go and give it to me. Sister Zhou pours tea."
Zhou's daughter-in-law felt relieved now, and when Fu Qiuning asked her to sit down, she only sat half-way down her buttocks, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I was infected with wind and cold. The doctor prescribed two doses of medicine, and it relieved me a little. The prince originally wanted to ask his aunt to go back, but first of all, the prince is not seriously ill, so it doesn't matter. Secondly, since before the Chinese New Year, things have happened one after another in my aunt's house. The prince's intention is not to disturb his aunt. Today The prince is fine now. On the one hand, he came to report to his aunt that he is safe. On the other hand, many important things have happened in the house in the past few days, so the prince sent his servant over to see if there is anything that my aunt can use. If necessary, please stay. It’s also appropriate to come down and serve my aunt.”
Fu Qiuning was startled and wanted to stop it. I thought it was not troublesome enough, right? Deliberately keeping you here to repay God? Yin sneered and said: "Don't mention this problem. Now because the young marquis suspects Prince Lie of arranging someone in the house, he is causing a stir. I am keeping you at this time. Is it because I am afraid of not arousing suspicion? Originally, Prince Lie last time The young Marquis was very angry when Prince Hong was involved in that matter. If Prince Hong had not taken the lead, then the great credit would have fallen on the head of the young Marquis or Prince Rong. I swear in front of him He said that he had not mentioned it in the palace, and said that he could find out such a thing. How could he know that others could not? Then he gave up. We will not tell secrets in front of people. Where did dad get the news? You and I also know it well. Ming, hum, if I hadn't been quick to speak and let the air out at the rockery, I'm afraid dad and Prince Hong wouldn't be so clear about it, right?"
As the wife of the Prince of Zhenjiang's wife, Zhou's daughter-in-law is naturally a confidant. There is no reason why she doesn't know about this matter. However, at this time, she absolutely did not dare to complain. She only smiled and said: "This slave has no idea at all. He has no idea at all." I don’t understand what my aunt is talking about. I think she has some weird family. My aunt heard what my slave said, no one in this world can compare to her parents. Her parents’ love for their own flesh and blood really hurts, others are just false stories. It seems that the little Marquis is very obedient to my aunt at the moment. However, as time goes by, who can say that this favor will not be transferred to others? By then, who will my aunt rely on? Or her parents' family? "
Fu Qiuning thought that if I believed you, I would die without a burial place. When you first pushed me in, why didn't you think about the feelings of flesh and blood? On his face, he pretended to think for a while, then softened completely, and sighed: "Of course I understand this. Alas, life in this wealthy family is difficult. If you don't have strong natal family power, you will only be abused by others. . Especially my appearance is not outstanding. Perhaps the young Marquis was tired of the appearance of those wives and concubines. When he saw me teaching his two children to become talents, he felt that I was virtuous and talented, so he was favored for this moment. I didn't want to lose him later. Let's start? How much is virtuous? Especially nowadays, you don't know, right? Our aunt, father-in-law, and son were robbed and killed on the way. She had nowhere to go and returned home. Instead, she took her three sisters-in-law I brought her here too. Tell me, is there such a truth in the world? Not only do we have to raise her, but we also have to raise her three sisters-in-law."
Wife Zhou knew about this, but hearing that Fu Qiuning's tone was wrong, she naturally wanted to take the opportunity to fan the flames, so she pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, is there such a thing? The three sisters-in-law that my aunt mentioned were the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, Master Feng. His two daughters and a cousin? Oh, those three girls were well-known in the capital back then, and everyone said they were beautiful. How... why are they living in the mansion now? Even Master Feng and his only son are... If they die, is it possible that they will have no clan members in their own family?"
Fu Qiuning sneered: "I said that I didn't have much contact with the clansmen, so I went to seek refuge at this time, but I was not looked down upon and refused to accept the insult. Huh, I have become more noble at this time, but I don't want to think about being in the hands of bandits." What kind of innocent daughter can come out? She still has such an innocent face that she would rather starve to death than lose her integrity. It’s really disgusting.”
After saying that, seeing Zhou's wife nodding, she seemed to have finally found someone to talk to. She immediately started chatting and said angrily: "Sister Zhou, tell me, are the people in Duke Jingguo's palace mentally ill?" How could the family's daughter and her sisters-in-law be innocent when they came out from the hands of bandits? If they were chaste and martyr girls, they would have been killed long ago, and they actually lived in the Duke's mansion. If this was allowed to the emperor The historians know that if a memorial is presented to the emperor, who can bear the responsibility for one of their lax family traditions? However, relying on the favor of the emperor, our foolish man did not take this into his heart. Not only that, I reminded him a little bit. After two sentences, he was not happy, and said with a stern face that I had a heart of stone. As a sister-in-law, I should sympathize with my sister-in-law's experience. It is depressing to arrange them in this way. You can tell me, I devoted myself to him, and in the end I earned this A few words of comments, what am I talking about? I was so angry that I simply ignored him and just let him do whatever he wanted. How about it? Within a few days, something happened to Prince Rong. Until now, the princess still has nothing to do with him. In our house, tell me, why do their family members seem to have no brains?"
Mrs. Zhou kept nodding her head, then heard Fu Qiuning let out a long sigh, put down the embroidery in her hands sadly, and said sadly: "I haven't eaten in the past two days. I feel distressed and angry with him, but after all, he is my man." , although it is all his own fault. Sister Zhou, go back and tell your father that the emperor values friendship the most. After all, he is also Feng Ju’s father-in-law. At this time, let grandpa go to the road to say a few good words for Prince Rong. Not only Feng Ju If you are so grateful to him, even the emperor will definitely look at our palace in a different light."
Wife Zhou smiled and agreed. But I don't think so in my heart. I think it's a woman's family after all. If I care about it now, it will be chaotic, right? If something goes wrong in Duke Jingguo's mansion, it's better if our mansion doesn't just add more firewood, and we still hope to help put out the fire. After chatting for a few more words, I saw that Fu Qiuning was looking miserable. Knowing that she had something on her mind, she left. Before leaving, she repeatedly asked Fu Qiuning to go home and take a look.
Fu Qiuning agreed and walked out of the door in person this time. Watching Zhou's wife and the two wives she had brought waiting outside the door walk away, she smiled softly and turned around to enter the house.
Just as he sat down and before picking up the embroidery, he heard Jian Feng say outside the door: "Grandma, Yanxi is here. He said that the young Marquis has gone to court. Please go to the study."
Fu Qiuning hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "I have sent people here to wait for his whereabouts. The people he sent ran faster than the people we were watching in the courtyard." While busy changing into a light blue embroidered jacket Underneath Hibiscus Huazhi's double-breasted long coat, she wore a light green pleated skirt embroidered with dark flowers. She brought Jian Feng to the study.
