Chapter 239
Others who had not slept all night included the masters and servants in the princess's mansion.
Yu Cheng and Zhu San looked grim. Jin Fuyun held his forehead with one hand, feeling a headache. "Why don't you stay out of the spotlight for a while?" Zhu San heard this and looked worried. "What about Shopkeeper Yu? Recently, several groups of people have been following us two..."
"If Yu Cheng leaves, I will have no one to use here."
Jin Fuyun didn't expect the situation to be so difficult. "Can you find out who is following you two?"
"Miss, the opponent is quite capable. My subordinates have only seen a few figures of him several times, but have never fought with him." There are many capable people in the capital, and it is hard to say whether he is from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
"Of course not."
Jin Fuyun knew the mansion that she was so familiar with. "Even if the Duke has a few people he can use, he will never give them to the Song family. As for Ji Zhang, although he has doubts, there is no one else around him who can use him except Alu."
Yu Cheng was a little suspicious, "But... Lord Pei has completely doubted me. Judging from what he said that day, he also has some doubts about you, young lady."
"The friendship between him and I is deep, and it can't be wiped out by such a coincidence. But Uncle Zhu might as well go out for a while to avoid the limelight. Yu Cheng is in the mansion. Ha! I want to see if he can really catch up with me to the princess's mansion?"
Zhu San was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't say it on his face.
He knew that Yu Cheng had come, and the eldest girl was dispensable to him. If he was sent back to the border to be a manager with no future, wouldn't this trip to the capital be in vain?
"Miss, I will stay at your house to avoid the limelight for now."
Jin Fuyun raised her eyes, "...Okay."
The next day, thick clouds covered the princess's mansion. Yu Cheng and Jin Fuyun were talking about something when the doorman ran in in a panic.
"Big girl, big girl..."
When Yu Cheng heard the urgent sound of the house on fire, his face darkened, "Miss, I'd better train you some capable people. This fuss will definitely cause trouble."
"Just do it as you see fit. I'm in the capital right now, and I really don't have anyone to use. Even if there were some capable people, they wouldn't be able to do everything satisfactorily. One wrong step will lead to many wrong steps."
For example, it would be better if the Song family was killed directly in Jianshui House than living in glory now.
At the emperor's birthday banquet, she thought of dozens of ways to torture and kill this daring man, but because it was in the palace, she did not dare to act rashly.
The emperor today is not the benevolent emperor before him.
He was decisive in killing and had killed almost all the male members of the royal family. He would not allow others to take advantage of him and take advantage of them.
The emperor is furious, who can resist him?
Jin Fuyun suppressed all kinds of pressure and finally managed to endure it.
When Yu Cheng stepped out of the door and was about to scold him, he saw the doorman pointing in the direction of the mansion gate in a panic, "Manager Yu, Lord He, the Jingzhao Yin, has brought people here to see Uncle Zhu!"
Lord He?
Jin Fuyun heard this and walked out immediately.
"Master He is here in person? Don't panic, just speak properly."
The doorman swallowed his saliva and said, "My dear young lady, Lord He brought more than ten first-class guards and waited at the door. I thought that only young lady was in the Princess's Mansion and they were not allowed to barge in. I stopped them. What do you think we should do?"
Lord He is a capable general of the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor.
He is in charge of various murder cases in the capital. He looks honest and simple, but only those who have really dealt with him know how difficult he is.
Jin Fuyun naturally knew.
Yu Cheng understood and whispered, "Miss, why don't I go out and take a look first?"
Oh! What's so good about it?
Jin Fuyun thought about it carefully, and when she looked up again, she was much calmer. She said to the doorman, "Master He, can you tell me why you want to summon Uncle Zhu?"
The concierge shook his head.
"I am a humble person with little influence. I asked a question but was scolded by the guards under Lord He. They said that it was a confidential matter and ordinary people were not allowed to talk too much."
in this way--
Jin Fuyun said calmly, "You can talk to Lord He. Because the mansion is being renovated recently, Uncle Zhu San has gone to the quarry outside Beijing to look at bluestone bricks. It's better to wait until Uncle Zhu San comes back."
The doorman whispered, "Miss, if Master He wants to force his way in, I'm afraid we can't stop him."
"Let them wait for a moment. I will dress up and go out to explain everything myself."
The doorman took the order and ran out. Suohong was a little flustered when she came forward and wanted to speak, but Jin Fuyun turned around and scolded her, "Where are Panlan and Panxi? They are on duty, but there is no sign of them. Go find them and punish them if they deserve it. Don't be lenient. What are the others doing here?"
Suohong was scolded for no apparent reason and had no choice but to call the maids and servants in the courtyard out.
Yu Cheng said nothing and waited for arrangements.
"You personally send Zhu San out."
Yu Cheng was a little confused, "Young lady——"
Jin Fuyun lowered her eyes, her long and curled eyelashes covering the fierceness in her eyes. She said softly, "Uncle Zhu has worked hard and made great contributions. I am not a heartless and ungrateful person. It's just that he did act too hastily on some things."
"Miss, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to send her away. Since the Jingzhao prefect is personally supervising this matter, you might as well go with the flow..."
"Although you sent a few people to me when you were away, in this capital, if an errand boy makes a mistake, he won't even know where to go... I praised Uncle Zhu too much. If he doesn't leave, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his mouth shut."
Jin Fuyun sighed slightly, "Blame me for being indecisive."
In this life, she would always be timid when it came to anything related to Pei An, and was not at all as courageous as she was in other matters.
"My dear young lady, if you send her out so suddenly, she won't be able to get far. If someone from the Princess's Mansion comes to investigate, she might get dragged down even if she wants to leave the matter alone."
"It will be even more troublesome if we can't send it out!" Jin Fuyun began to get annoyed.
"Miss, I have something to say, but..."
Yu Cheng hesitated, Jin Fuyun raised his eyes and urged: "Ah Cheng, between you and me, why don't we just speak frankly."
"Zhu San..., young lady, we can't protect her."
Jin Fuyun snorted and laughed, "He did such a stupid thing, so of course I can't protect him. But now that things have come to this, we can't just let him be imprisoned." One Gu Sanniang was enough to give her a lot of trouble, and if there was another one, she was afraid that she would lose everything.
"I received a letter this time and was given some instructions when I came."
"What's the matter?"
Yu Cheng took a half step forward, leaned over and whispered, "Miss, you don't know, Zhu San had a mistress in Liyang, who gave birth to a girl for him a few years ago. But the mistress already had a husband, and the two of them had been hiding their affair, so it was never exposed. Now the girl is six or seven years old, and looks less and less like her husband. The mistress heard the gossip from the neighbors, and after beating the mistress's wife several times, she actually sold the girl privately--"
