After a while, I heard news from the front that Prince Rong had left with the princess. The atmosphere in the room was sad for a while, and then slowly became warm again due to the deliberate actions of Jiang Wanying and others. After gathering for a while, everyone gradually dispersed.
Seeing that Jiang Wanying and Mrs. Jiang were about to leave, Fu Qiuning couldn't take care of that much anymore. He was worried, what was he thinking? I am Jin Fengju’s first wife, isn’t it just right to go and visit him? Why bother looking forward and backward. Thinking of this, she stepped forward and said to Jiang Wanying: "Sister, I heard that I am recuperating in Qingwan Pavilion. I don't know how injured he is. I am willing to go and find out, but I would like to ask my sister to make it easier for me."
Jiang Wanying glanced at her and had already walked out of the room. In the yard, only Mrs. Jiang was in front and a few aunts and concubines were behind. There was no more suitable opportunity to show off to Mrs. Fu, so she sneered: "Sister, this is What you say is so strange. Isn’t it natural for you to visit me? Why do you want me to make it easier? "
Fu Qiuning had known that she would be quick to talk. But even though he was going to the other party's territory, he didn't want to tolerate this tone. She now knows very well that if you give these women one foot, they will take another step in their complacency. Moreover, she is Jin Fengju's first wife. With this status, if she is still bullied, she can only blame herself for not living up to expectations.
So he smiled slightly and said: "Really? It turns out that I underestimated my sister. I never expected that my sister would be so sensible and resourceful. Previously, I was only afraid that my sister would get some vicious dogs to stop me at the door. But now I listen to my sister's words. The heart of a man is judged by the heart of a gentleman, so I am here to apologize to my sister."
"You..." Jiang Wanying was startled angrily, glaring at Fu Qiuning with sharp eyes, but she saw that the other party was looking at her with neither humility nor arrogance, refusing to give in even a step. Because he shook his body twice, he sneered: "Sister, go ahead, sister, I'm just afraid that you will lose face in front of the young marquis. If it weren't for the fact that my sister prides herself on being noble and only wants to avoid staying in Wanfengxuan, our master would not be like this today." It's an innocent disaster. If my sister has no regrets in her heart and rushes to see me, I won't have a problem with it."
Fu Qiuning said with a smile: "I'm not worried about you, as long as my sister doesn't interfere with you. If I think about it later, if you are angry with me and shame me in public, wouldn't you be fulfilling your sisters' wishes? I wonder if my sister is doing this today. It's so happy, but it turns out it's for this. It's okay. As a wife, even if the husband hits you, you still have to fulfill your obligations. I have no shame for you, but I must do this etiquette. My sister is born Wealthy nobles must understand this principle."
Jiang Wanying asked her to say this, but she didn't know how to refute and stop her. When she was racking her brains, she suddenly saw Jin Yanfang coming up from behind and said with a smile: "My sisters and I just wanted to go see our second brother together, and my sister-in-law also wanted to go." Go and come back as a companion when the time comes.
Jiang Wanying frowned, a stern look flashed in her eyes, and she felt unhappy in her heart. She secretly thought, why are you coming here to join in the fun with a dead husband? Calling you aunt is out of respect for you, what? Do you really think of yourself as your aunt? Don’t you even look at whose house you live in, whose food you eat and whose food you use? Don't you even know who you want to take refuge in
Thinking like this, I felt even more angry, and suddenly I heard Mrs. Jiang say lightly: "Since you are so serious, let's go over and sit for a while, but don't delay for too long, your second brother still needs to recover from his injuries."
Jin Yanfang agreed and winked at Fu Qiuning. Fu Qiuning looked at Mrs. Jiang's back in a daze. He originally thought that Mrs. Jiang would take action when Jiang Wanying was at her wits' end, but she didn't expect that the other party would let him go in an understatement. Even with Jin Yanfang's help, the result was really unexpected. .
In fact, Mrs. Jiang did this out of helplessness. According to her thoughts, how could she rescue Fu Qiuning in such a noble style? It's just that he can't help it. He likes this woman so much that he can't even hold it in his hands and put it in his mouth. He's hurt like that, and all he wants to do is prevent himself from getting into trouble with this woman. I used to hate this woman for not knowing how to advance or retreat and relying on favor to be arrogant. Now that she heard that she was going to visit her son, she obviously still had some conscience. Her son was injured, so maybe he was happy to see her. Because of this thought, I said this out of desperation. No matter how angry his son is for doting on Fu Qiuning, he always loves his children. This love for his children is enough to overcome any disgust.
When Jiang Wanying heard what her aunt said, she was surprised and jealous, but she had no choice but to lead Fu Qiuning and others to Qingwan Pavilion. On the way, Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao found out that their father was injured again. They were both surprised and held their mother's hand. , I wish I could spread my wings and fly to my father to see how he is doing.
When they arrived at Qingwan Pavilion, Jin Fengju was leaning on the bed reading a book. Just now Prince Rong came to check on him, and by the way, he said what the emperor had called them to the study to ask. The situation is unclear now, and there is no point in talking more, so he sat for a while and left. Jin Fengju thought that this storm was almost over. As long as the princess went to the Queen Mother to admit her mistake in the future, the emperor might punish Prince Rong lightly. However, it should not be serious enough to kick him out of the selection of crown prince. I just don’t know what to do with the prostitute and the child in her belly. My brother-in-law wouldn't dare to bring someone into the house in this limelight, right
So he was holding a book in his hand, but he was actually thinking about these messy things in his mind. Suddenly he heard the noisy footsteps outside, he stretched out his hand to hold his forehead, and thought to himself, am I taking a rest? From noon today to now, people have been visiting me. Now I don’t know which woman came here on the order of the master, or the housekeeper in the house, oh my god, how annoying it is. Kill me.
Thinking of this, just as he was about to lie down and pretend to sleep, he heard a familiar voice on the top of his heart: "Is it in the back room? I don't know if I'm asleep? Let's keep it quiet and take a peek." If not Qiu Ning, who else could it be? Perhaps because he was afraid that he had fallen asleep, his voice was very low, but Jin Fengju couldn't clearly hear what kind of ears he had, especially the voice of his sweetheart.
So the impatience on his face was suddenly replaced by excitement and joy. He put down the book and said loudly: "Is it Qiu Ning? Why are you here?"
Before he finished speaking, the door curtain was raised, and then Fu Qiuning, Jin Yanfang, the shy and timid three sisters of the Feng family, and Jiang Wanying walked in.
Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao paid their respects to their father and rushed to his bed. They grabbed his hand and asked with tears in their eyes: "What's wrong with daddy? Mom said you were injured. Is it bleeding? Does it hurt?" Let Jiaoer blow it for daddy, and then the pain will fly away."
Jin Fengju touched the heads of his two children, and the boredom caused by being in bed that day was suddenly thrown away to Java. He felt that the injury was worth it. He had won the emperor's sympathy and his sister's heartache. Now that he has received the care of Qiu Ning and his children, it is like killing three birds with one stone.
Jiang Wanying invited everyone to sit down and asked Qiuxia to serve tea. Here Jin Fengju smiled and said: "But they are from the ancestors? Have the princess and the prince returned home?"
Jiang Wanying rushed to answer. Jin Fengju nodded, looked at Fu Qiuning and smiled: "I also specifically asked my ancestors not to talk about my affairs, and only asked Jin Ming to tell you that he is very busy these days. How come you still know? But who accidentally let it slip? Mouth?"
Fu Qiuning said with a warm smile: "It's not who let it slip. I thought it was strange. I happened to make some snacks and asked Jian Feng to send them to Kangshouyuan. But I said that my ancestors came to visit you. Jian Feng inquired about it, and then I I know this. How did you get hurt? Not long after you left that day, it thundered. I just felt uneasy, and I thought that the thunder was not strong, let alone such a coincidence? I am a lucky man and a heavenly minister, go to Yangzhou I don’t know how many people have been saved in one trip. That thunder shouldn’t have fallen on you. Who knows why something happened?”
Jin Fengju said with a smile: "Isn't this the retribution for having betrayed so many of your wives that day? In fact, it's God's mercy. He didn't die. He just got pricked by a stone on his leg. It’s just some blood, don’t worry.”
The two of them talked here as if they were gossiping, and they didn't seem to care about other people at all. The three Feng sisters kept their heads down, but they couldn't help but look at Jin Fengju from the corner of their eyes from time to time, feeling their daughter's heart beating wildly, but Jin Fengju didn't even look at them.
Suddenly Jiang Wanying interjected: "The injury is nothing, just a few more days of recovery. But what about the emperor's punishment? I heard that the emperor asked me to recuperate, but he asked you to listen to the announcement and go to court. This is not Is it rewarded? Otherwise, if your injury is healed, you should go to court. I heard it’s all because of that Chu Daxiu... "
"Cough cough cough..." Before Jiang Wanying could finish speaking, Jin Fengju coughed suddenly, and then looked at her calmly. Jin Yanfang and others didn't know the reason, but Fu Qiuning knew in his heart that this was a sign of his extreme displeasure. "
However, Jiang Wanying hated Jin Yanfang for rescuing Fu Qiuning. She had always been aloof and aloof. Apart from the old lady and several wives, there were also two aunts like Jin Fengju. Who dared not to support her like a star holding the moon? How could a few orphans and widows who depended on others dare not take her seriously? How could you endure this? Therefore, even if Jin Fengju was unhappy, she did not intend to follow his wishes. She had to make these women realize their status.
