Chapter 125
When Aru was carrying a lantern and sending Panxi out of the corner door of the kitchen, Jin Fuyun's carriage was waiting quietly outside.
A'lu stepped forward and reported to Jin Fuyun, "Thank you, Miss, for sending my fourth son back tonight. I also sent Miss Panxi out to you. Please be careful on your way back."
Jin Fuyun opened the curtain and showed half of her dignified and elegant face. "Alu, don't be polite. It's just that Ji Zhang drank a lot of wine and vomited several times. I'm afraid his stomach has been hurt. Tomorrow you should pay more attention and ask the kitchen to make some soft and easy-to-digest food to coax him to eat."
Aru replied yes.
Jin Fuyun wanted to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she sighed and warned, "Your young mistress is still young. You should keep an eye on Ji Zhang's health on weekdays. There are many people here today, and he has new worries. It was difficult for others to persuade him to drink a few more cups. You should ask him to restrain himself in the future. It is not easy to enter the officialdom. Keeping a healthy body is the most important thing."
Alu was somewhat moved by what he heard, and could not help but say with emotion, "My fourth son is very lonely. On weekdays, apart from being able to talk to the master, he also interacts with the second son and the eldest lady. Thank you, the eldest lady, for sympathizing with my son's difficulties."
In Alu's heart, it wasn't that the young lady was a bad person, but that she was too willful.
In the past, she only knew how to chase the Fourth Young Master and woo him. Although she is not so extreme now, she has coaxed the Fourth Young Master to turn around and be humble to her. The two of them would quarrel whenever they disagreed. After a long time, no matter how good the Fourth Young Master's character was, he could not help it.
Jin Fuyun was not having a good day today either. When she met He Jiang, she had no intention of even looking at him. She just felt dizzy.
How to do?
Is it possible that she will miss Pei An again?
Now, after hearing what Alu said, she felt even more upset. "When your young lady grows up, she will naturally understand the hardships of his career. As for Erlang and I, we are just friends. It is beyond our distance to worry about each other from time to time, let alone to accompany each other for a long time."
The night watchman's drum began to beat, and the night watchman's singing could be heard from the distant alley.
Jin Fuyun stopped talking, said goodbye to Alu, and told the driver to drive away.
Aru watched the carriage go away, sighed and murmured to himself, "It would have been great if the Fourth Young Master had married the eldest girl. Unfortunately - it's a pity that the eldest girl has a strong father who is a general, and has never gotten along with the Duke."
Having read this, he had no choice but to walk in and ask the doorman to lock the door.
After he left, Lianhua and Qingfang walked back quietly in the darkness. Seeing Alu entering Yanlai Hall, Qingfang grabbed Lianhua and said worriedly, "Sister, do we really have to report everything we just heard to the young lady?"
Lianhua was already a little hesitant. After hearing Qingfang's words and looking at the little girl who was a head shorter than her, she felt unsure.
"If I tell you, I'm afraid the young lady will make me angry."
Qingfang pouted, "Who said it wasn't true? I just feel sick just by listening to it. A-Lu is in our courtyard on weekdays, and we treat him well. The young lady treats him even better, but he is so heartless and he actually speaks to that vixen!"
"Shut up, aren't you afraid of bringing harm to the young lady?"
Qingfang quickly covered her mouth, looked around to see if there was anyone around, then pulled on Lotus' sleeve and said, "Sister, we can't not tell you, otherwise the young lady will be off guard and get tricked by that young lady."
"Plan?"
Lianhua was a little uncertain. "She is a girl raised in a princess's family, I'm afraid she wouldn't dare. Now the Fourth Young Master and the Young Madam are in harmony, and she is also a well-known figure. She can't just enter the house and become a concubine."
"Of course not."
Qingfang clenched her fists and said angrily, "Even if he doesn't come in, but if he disgusts the young lady every three or five days, she might be pissed to death!"
She was so shameless and said those things shamelessly, saying that when the young lady grows up, she will understand the hardships of the fourth young master's career. What about the fourth young master?
What's wrong with understanding the young lady?
Everyone saw the quarrel this morning. The young lady just wanted to know the truth.
However, the Fourth Young Master, who is said to be knowledgeable and talented, still does not take the Young Madam seriously.
After a quarrel, he just walked away, spent the whole day drinking and having fun, and when he came back, he provoked such a vixen to say some rude words to him!
Just as the two were in a dilemma, the door of Yanlai Hall suddenly opened wide. Alu smiled shyly and said, "Madam, it's really because the fourth young master drank too much and vomited several times. I can't handle it. I can only ask Miss Panxi who is in front of the eldest lady to help. Please forgive me, Madam."
Song Guanzhou didn't even turn his head, and said with a smile, "Alu, take good care of your fourth son."
After that, he supported Ren Dong and followed Zhuang Gu's lantern out the door and down the stairs. Aru wanted to walk a few more steps, but Ren Dong turned back to stop him, "Brother Aru, go and take care of the fourth young master. I just fed him a few sips of honey water, and put the rest on the desk. If the fourth young master is still thirsty later, you can feed him a few more sips."
After the explanation was completed, the people helped Song Guanzhou out of Yanlai Hall.
Lianhua Qingfang was standing there obediently, waiting, and Song Guanzhou did not ask any more questions, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
The two little maids had a lot to say in their minds, and they followed silently towards Shaohua Garden. When they were halfway through the Chuihua Gate, they heard rustling sounds, as if someone was weeping.
Zhuang Gu held up a lantern and shouted, "Who is it?"
Hearing the series of crackling sounds, Zhuang Gu couldn't help but hold up the lantern and took a few steps forward, and shouted again, "Where did you come from, you night rat? You're scaring people here in the middle of the night. If you don't come out, I'll skin you alive."
Just as Zhuanggu finished speaking, she saw a small figure crawling out from the bushes towards her.
Rendong took a step forward and blocked Song Guanzhou's way.
"Who are you? Which room are you from? You're not sleeping at night and playing tricks here. I'm afraid you don't want to live." After Ren Dong scolded, the black shadow knelt down, kowtowed three times, and said with a sobbing voice, "I am Xiang Guo. I didn't mean to disturb the fourth young master's wife. I just have nowhere to go."
Nowhere to go?
Song Guanzhou pushed aside the honeysuckle, walked forward, and took Zhuanggu's lantern to take a look. He took a deep breath and asked, "Why is your face so swollen?"
Xiangguo, who was still young, was now crying and snotting. Her originally almond-shaped eyes were now swollen into a thin slit, tilted on her face, and tears were squeezed out from her eyes from time to time.
"I went to the kitchen to ask the maid for food in the evening. The maid saw that I didn't have any money, so she made things difficult for me, saying that supper was only for the masters. I was dumb and couldn't trick the master into asking for food. After being scolded, I went back empty-handed. I didn't expect that the maids got angry, took off their shoes and hit me dozens of times on the face—"
Honeysuckle quickly stepped forward to help Xiangguo up, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh, "What a cruel heart! He's just a ten-year-old child, how could he do that?"
