Chapter 627
This was a humble remark. After giving instructions, Pei An asked the Xu brothers and sisters to go back and rest early. Xu Lingqiao was worried about Song Guanzhou, so she went up to him and said, "My cousin has been busy all day, so you should go back and rest early. The young lady has taken medicine and is sleeping soundly. I see that the fever on her forehead is slowly subsiding, and I think she won't wake up tonight."
In this case, there is no point in staying with him, and it will only make me tired.
Seeing this, Xu Lingqiao was a little worried, so she followed Ren Dong in to take a look before giving up. After the Xu brothers and sisters left, Pei An stopped Qin Qingdong who was about to explode, "Come with me to Yanlai Hall."
"Hmm? What can't be said here?"
Pei An said nothing, and ordered Rendong to look after Song Guanzhou, and to report to Yanlaitang immediately if he felt unwell.
On the way to Yanlai Hall, Qin Qingdong asked, "What's wrong? You're so anxious. Guan Zhou is still sick, and you don't care about him?"
Pei An was speechless, looking at him with a questioning expression, "Why would I ignore Guan Zhou? Guan Zhou is sleeping now, I'll let Ren Dong look after her."
"Humph! Should you accompany him in person?"
Pei An held his forehead and smiled bitterly, "Wait until tomorrow. If I see that the fourth young lady is not feeling well, you can stay by her side all day and all night."
Qin Qingdong opened his folding fan and fanned it a few times.
"Of course I wouldn't! But you are different, Ji Zhang. Guan Zhou's illness is most likely caused by your negligence."
Pei An was so angry that he laughed, "...what you said!"
"It's you who's incompetent. I told you, Guan Zhou is smart. She doesn't ask you for anything because she doesn't count on you. Think about it yourself. As her man, if she doesn't count on you, what good are you?"
"...If you stay in Shaohua Garden day after day, I'm afraid you will say these words to Guanzhou to sow discord between my husband and me?"
Qin Qingdong rolled his eyes. "I protected you too much in front of Guan Zhou. After what happened today, I think I won't be able to indulge you anymore."
Indulge?
Pei An put his hands behind his back and walked in front, ignoring Qin Qingdong's words.
When they were almost at Yanlai Hall, Linshan was already standing in the shadow beside the wall. "Linshan pays respects to the Fourth Young Master and the Second Young Master Qin."
"Ouch! Linshan, you are scaring me to death!"
Pei An was fine, but Qin Qingdong was so frightened that he almost fell off the stone steps. He walked over with a fan in his hand and slapped Lin Shan's arm three times, "Lin Shan, your life as the Second Young Master Qin is very valuable."
Yes Yes Yes!
Linshan bowed and apologized. Qin Qingdong grabbed Linshan's arm and asked him to help him up the stone steps of Yanlai Hall.
Only after they entered the door did Aru and Linxi busy themselves around, lighting the night lights and serving hot tea before they closed the door and left.
There were only Pei An, Qin Qingdong and Lin Shan in the room.
Pei An invited Lin Shan to sit down. Qin Qingdong looked at the formation and became curious. "What's going on? It's so mysterious?"
Lin Shan coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and then asked.
"Fourth Master? Did you hear the neighbors' discussions when you came back?" Pei An shook his head as soon as he finished speaking. "No, I wanted to send A-Lu to Qianweizhai to buy some food for Guan Zhou, but because there were so many people, I gave up."
What's more, he is now deeply in love with Song Guanzhou. If he doesn't see him during the day, he can't wait to return to Shaohua Garden at night.
Lin Shan looked at Qin Qingdong with a smile. Qin Qingdong waved his folding fan and said, "I've been in Shaohua Garden all day. What can I expect to hear?"
"Something happened."
Lin Shan spoke briefly and to the point. Qin Qingdong sat up straight and pointed at Lin Shan and said, "Brother, you are already in your thirties. Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly."
"Fourth Young Master, Second Young Master, the Jin family has become famous today. Early yesterday morning, the eldest daughter of the Jin family and her follower Qiao Wan disguised themselves and secretly ran away from the princess's villa. The two drove a carriage to the outskirts of Beijing. Unfortunately, they encountered falling rocks from the mountains, which startled the carriage and horses, and both the people and the carriage rolled into the river. The eldest daughter's life was not in danger, but her leg was injured. Qiao Wan was crushed to death in the river by the horse, and two men from Hujia Village were also killed."
Ok?
Pei An's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Qiao Wan is dead?"
"That's right. The eldest girl ran away secretly, and the eldest son and his wife of the Jin family had no idea. After the accident, the eldest girl was rescued by the villagers of Hujia Village. With the eldest girl's trust, I rushed to the King's Courtyard to ask the eldest son Jin to help, but the gatekeeper didn't believe it. For some reason, the eldest girl seemed to be confined to the inner courtyard in recent days, so the eldest son didn't know that his sister ran away secretly."
Hearing this, Qin Qingdong couldn't help laughing, "What a joke, what happened next?"
Lin Shan smiled as he looked at the two young masters and said, "No one came to rescue the Jin family. After much trouble, it was getting dark. The eldest girl was in danger of escaping the disaster, but there was nothing they could do. They were ready to pay a large sum of money to have the people of Hujia Village carry her back to the city. At this time, the carriage of Prince Yong arrived."
Pei An's eyes lit up, "Prince Yong? He Jiang's carriage?"
Lin Shan nodded, "Looking at the direction they were coming from and the people in the car, I guess that Prince Yong just came back from playing in Spider Pond."
Oh open!
Qin Qingdong folded his fan and asked, "Is there a Pipa boy in the car?"
Lin Shan nodded and said, "I didn't see him at first. The Pipa Man didn't get off the carriage. When we entered the city, the carriage stopped. What surprised me was the Pipa Man who got off the carriage with the help of the driver. But - the Pipa Man was disfigured."
Upon hearing this, Pei An and Qin Qingdong's eyes met, and they saw confusion in each other's eyes.
"Disfigured?"
Lin Shan raised his hand and compared it with the scar on his left cheek, which was about the length of his index finger. "It's very conspicuous. I'm not too far away, but I can still spot it at a glance. However, the scar has already scabbed over, and it doesn't look like it was done recently."
Qin Qingdong's face was full of disdain.
"What a fool. He relies on that long face to charm people and make a living. He is not careful every day. I am afraid that he has angered He Jiang and got stabbed like this just now."
Pei An thought of something in his mind, but because Qin Qingdong was here, it was not appropriate to ask Lin Shan more, so he swallowed it.
"Linshan, let's talk about the eldest girl first. We'll talk about Song Youan later."
Lin Shan nodded and continued, "I saw the excitement and followed the Yongjunwang carriage to the back door of the princess's villa. The eldest son came out first, and then hurried in. A little while later, a sedan chair came, and the eldest young lady came in in a panic, and took the dishevelled young lady in."
"This……"
Even Qin Qingdong couldn't bear to watch it. "What kind of thing is this? An engaged couple went out, one with her lover, the other with her guards, without any maids or servants, and they ran into a carriage... Tsk tsk tsk tsk! It's so lively, Linshan, why didn't you come and ask me to take a look!"
Lin Shan touched his chin, and Pei An finally responded, "Lin Shan, you shaved."
