The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 207

Linshan listened without making any comment.

Back at Zhengxian Pavilion, Ben asked to see the master, but Linhe quietly came out of the study room and said in a low voice, "Brother, the master just fell asleep."

In that case, let it go.

If you put your heart into it when you are in the mountains, it will be extraordinary.

He turned to ask Linhe, who chuckled, "Brother, even a calm and ruthless person like you can't escape the curiosity about the young lady."

"how do I say this?"

Linhe pointed to the courtyard and said, "Although you have been away for the past few years, things in this mansion have been happening one after another, and it is extremely lively, especially this year."

After that, he called for fragrant fruits and ordered some tea. Then the two brothers went up to the pavilion, facing the fresh breeze and rain, and poured out their heartfelt feelings.

"You just returned home a few days ago, so you should have noticed that things are quite different in the mansion."

Lin Shan took a sip of spring tea, "Of course, the old lady is a vegetarian and a Buddhist, and doesn't care about the household expenses; the third son avoided the mansion and came and went without a trace; the fourth son married the daughter of the Song family, but now he has no children... They are all very different."

"Brother, there are still many."

"for example?"

"Madame Fang and her servant jumped into the big-bellied well near the old lady. On the night they fell into the water, it was the young lady who went down and rescued them."

"Young Madam is good at water. Liu Er told me about it."

"Yes, so at the Peach Blossom Banquet held by Miss Jin after she came to Beijing, five children who fell into the water were all rescued by the young lady. The young lady shined so brilliantly that she almost lost her life—"

"Wouldn't that take away all the glory from Miss Jin?"

Lin He was slightly stunned. He never expected that the always calm senior brother actually understood the inexplicable fights between women.

"It was the master who asked me to investigate privately, and I found some clues. Big brother, you actually guessed it right at once, but that young lady is not a simple girl."

"Of course. Princess Hong'an and the daughter of General Jin, there is no reason for her to be so stupid."

Lin He lowered his head and smiled, "This... I won't comment on it."

Linshan asked Song Guanzhou many more questions, and Linhe told him everything he knew, even the fact that the young lady and the fifth young master of the Xiao family did not get along and had quarreled several times.

"I know this. If the prince hadn't brought the fifth young master into trouble, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had peace in the near future."

Linshan asked a lot of questions about Song Guanzhou, then rode out again.

When Ji Feng sneaked into the old alley where people lived, he was spotted by Ji Feng who was walking halfway. Thinking of the figure he saw outside the back door of Miss Jin today, he immediately blocked the way.

"Afon!"

Ji Feng's hands were tied behind his back, and he almost thought he would die here today, when a familiar yet inexplicably trembling voice sounded in his ears.

He didn't need to look back, he only heard himself calling out subconsciously with a trembling voice, "Big... Big Brother..."

The two of them sat in the innermost private room of Qianlixiang Teahouse. Ji Feng had a sad face and said, "Aren't you not going back to the capital?" It was clearly an evil spirit. They had finally sent it away, but now it's back again.

Lin Shan ignored him and asked casually with his head down, "Are you working for Er Lang?"

"No, I've been following our eldest son..." He looked up and met those unfathomable eyes. He lowered his head and whispered, "Erlang has been looking for someone in recent days, and asked the eldest son to bring me and A Rui over."

"What did Erlang tell you two brothers to do?"

Ji Feng smiled awkwardly, "Big Brother, I'm afraid I can't do things for the master with you--"

"Following Yu Cheng, did you find out anything?"

Uh - I forgot that the eldest senior brother I saw in the morning was standing in front of the fourth young master's wife of the Pei family.

"...Nothing has been discovered so far, but Yu Cheng lied. A Rui ran to the city gate. There was a fellow villager who carried a banner at the city gate every day to tell fortunes. He said that people came and went in the capital, and his fox eyes would definitely remember everything he saw. So -"

Linshan: Hmm…?

Ji Feng was a little excited, "Yu Cheng and the fourth son of the Pei family, our second son said he entered the city yesterday morning, but A Rui asked that fellow villager and he said that Yu Cheng had been in and out of the city gate several times four or five days ago."

"okay, I get it."

After hearing this, Linshan went downstairs without paying for the tea.

Leaving Ji Feng completely bewildered, is that enough? Let’s not talk about the wildfire that happened at Wanxing Wharf two days ago, which burned down many buildings and stalls.

When it was dusk, the time when Pei An was on duty on weekdays, Qin Qingdong finally supported Pei An, whose steps were unsteady, out of the back door of the Princess's Mansion. "You have a high fever, and it's fierce. Fortunately, Fuyun has medicine. Otherwise, when you fell down, I thought you were going to die."

"It's not that serious, I just feel dizzy."

Song Guanzhou left the Princess's Mansion in a rage, and Pei An was so angry that he tried to chase him. However, his body, which had been burning for nearly two days, could not hold on any longer, and he fell to the ground as soon as he raised his foot.

Jin Fuyun was so frightened that her face turned pale, but fortunately Qin Qingdong was there and helped her to the guest room to rest.

Erpan was quick and efficient. He boiled the fever-reducing herbs he had picked earlier and served them to Pei An. After the medicine took effect, Pei An fell into a deep sleep. Qin Qingdong had no choice but to guard the outer room.

Seeing that Jin Fuyun was still worried, he couldn't help but say a few words to comfort her, "Song Guanzhou is outspoken, you have always been tolerant and generous, don't take it to heart, or you will be sad."

If it were in the past, Jin Fuyun would naturally follow Qin Qingdong's words and show magnanimity.

But today, no matter how calm and experienced she was, she couldn't stand Song Guanzhou's shocking words: "I will drag you down with me even if I die."

Song Guanzhou——

What did you know...

In this life, the two of them have only met three times, but each time they were on the verge of a fight. This time, they didn't even care about their faces and just tore each other apart.

Song family, ah Song family, did I underestimate you?

Because Qin Qingdong and Pei An were right in front of her, she didn't have the energy or time to think too much and could only remain silent. Qin Qingdong saw this and knew that Song Guanzhou had gone too far, so he could only smile awkwardly, "... When you discuss marriage later, I think she won't be jealous of you anymore."

Discuss marriage?

Jin Fuyun's heart suddenly felt like a cold wind passing through it, and there was no peace anymore.

"Song is so ignorant, Erlang, you should avoid associating with her. Today, I am responsible for this, and I will not put the blame on you. But if it were someone else, I am afraid it would not be so easy to explain."

Qin Qingdong spoke a little slowly.

After a moment, he agreed with Jin Fuyun, "She is impulsive and does things without thinking. That's it. I will listen to you."

"...It's a pity for Ji Zhang. He is destined to be burdened by the Song family for the rest of his life."

Qin Qingdong laughed while fanning himself. "Of course. As long as Song Guanzhou is alive, Silang will definitely not be able to take a concubine, let alone others—"

Jin Fuyun lowered her head slightly, revealing half of her dignified and delicate face.

"You and Ji Zhang are both my precious close friends. Although the future is unpredictable, I always hope that everything will go smoothly for us."

When she said this, she didn't look at Qin Qingdong.

Because - she was afraid that she could not hide the pity in her eyes. Qin Qingdong had never been well in the past three lives.
