Chapter 1220 Chapter 1220
Rendong did not dare to forget the young lady's arrangement, so she asked several maids and servants to recall the visitor yesterday.
Everything was almost in order, and the list was originally written, but before entering the house, Rendong thought about the young lady's illegible handwriting, and her mind changed. She wrote down the list and went in empty-handed to report.
Song Guanzhou was confused after hearing half of it.
She held her forehead and smiled bitterly, "Rosewood, I remember you can read and write, how about writing it down?"
Honeysuckle: ...
After a while, he took it out and asked in confusion, "You clearly wrote it, why didn't you give it to me first? I'll listen to you and it will be clearer."
Ren Dong brought up another excuse, and Song Guanzhou sighed, "My handwriting is ugly, so you don't dare to show it to me. Are you afraid that I will be sad when I see it?"
"..."
Young Madam, you don't have to be so smart.
"Don't be so careful. I know that my few strokes scared everyone. I will practice harder next time."
Back to the list, listening to Ren Dong talking about the names one by one, "Young Master Liu and Young Master Huang are all acquaintances, but this Young Master Jin is Jin Fuyun's brother?"
"Replying to Madam, it is Miss Jin's half-brother."
Born out of wedlock? Yes! Jin Fuyun has no brothers from the same mother.
Song Guanzhou narrowed his eyes, "His biological mother died a long time ago, but he was brought up by the princess. Now he and Jin Fuyun are like real siblings—"
In the original novel, the relationship between the two siblings is described as being better than that between two siblings from the same mother.
But Song Guanzhou doesn't think so. For a legitimate girl without brothers, looking for a illegitimate brother without a mother to rely on, in the final analysis, interests outweigh blood ties.
After looking around, apart from the sudden arrival of the Jin family, everything else was clear enough.
"The fourth son of the Xiao family invited several students from Long En Academy, as well as several accountants from the second master's mansion, the eldest son Hua."
"Are there any special things for the female relatives?"
Honeysuckle shook her head.
"Except for Mr. Jin's wife, that is, Miss Jin. But..." Rendong paused, and then said, "She is very close to the wife of the prince in the mansion, and they go in and out together."
Song Guanzhou heard this and his oval face showed a dignified expression. "...Does the second sister-in-law not know that the two families are not getting along?"
"The Crown Prince's wife knows this, but the two families have never been openly hostile to each other. It just seems to me that they don't seem to be just going through the motions."
Jin Fuyun held Xiao Yinxiu's arm and called her "Second sister-in-law" all the time, which was more intimate than calling her the eldest young lady of the Jin family.
"She wants to replace me. She wants to make friends with anyone in this mansion who doesn't get along with me. Besides, my second sister-in-law is the mistress of this mansion. How can she marry in if she doesn't curry favor with her?"
Her face is as white as jade, smooth and fair.
But when she turned her head to look at Rendong, what she saw was not just a leisurely young lady. Her lips were rosy, and her eyes were expressive, yet gentle and submissive, and smart and cold.
"Madam, what should we do?"
"You can't just sit there and wait for death. Go down and explain everything to Mrs. Meng and the others. Don't let any word leak out in front of Pei Si and his servants."
this--
"Young Madam, why don't you tell the Fourth Young Master?"
say what?
Song Guanzhou seemed to have heard something very funny. He asked Rendong to step forward half a step. The master and servant held hands and heard Song Guanzhou say earnestly, "He favors the eldest daughter of the Jin family. I will never trust him again."
With just one sentence, Pei An's life or death was decided.
Honeysuckle was shocked and kept saying, "No, Madam, you can't do this."
"Why not?"
Song Guanzhou let go of Honeysuckle Rouyi, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Jin Fuyun is determined to get the position of the fourth young master of the Pei family. I heard Qin Er mentioned that she is discussing marriage. With her personality, she will definitely ruin the marriage. In the future, be more careful and keep an eye on her for me."
"Yes, Madam, don't worry. The eldest girl left the house early yesterday, which just proved what Madam just said."
"Why did you leave the house early?"
"She said she had a headache and fever, and she just said sorry to the Crown Prince's wife and hurried back home. But I watched carefully and heard what the cousin said casually."
"What did my cousin say?"
"She--" Ren Dong stepped over, bent down, and whispered to Song Guanzhou. After listening, Song Guanzhou's eyebrows were slightly angry, and his sword-like eyebrows were slanted, "Humph! My cousin can see it clearly, who else can't see it? Only Si Lang is blind, I don't know what kind of trouble he has brought to me!"
"Young Madam, please don't worry. I think the mansion is heavily guarded. Even if Jin Fuyun has extraordinary abilities, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to run into the mansion and cause trouble."
One sentence awakened Song Guanzhou.
You can accuse her of conspiracy theorizing or paranoia, but if you read all those modern novels about palace intrigue and domestic fighting, you will know that the simplest form of assassination and frame-up is nothing more than killing someone with a borrowed knife.
"Second sister-in-law, you guys should be more careful next time."
"What the young lady said is——"
"My second sister-in-law's people. You know that my second sister-in-law doesn't like me. Although I don't know the reason, she is stubborn and stupid. It's not impossible that she was really tricked by Jin Fuyun into making a raft."
In the original novel, Jin Fuyun is very versatile.
Not to mention that Xiao Yinxiu listened to her, even Pei An's mother, the once glorious and bad-tempered old lady of the mansion, Xiao Muxue, had a harmonious relationship with her mother-in-law.
So, Honeysuckle's words woke her up.
She doesn't have to go to the house or take any action. She can just conspire with Xiao Yinxiu. One of them gets rid of the thorn in her side, and the other gets her ideal husband. It's a win-win result. Why not?
After hearing this, Honeysuckle broke out in a cold sweat.
"Young Madam, I'm afraid the Crown Prince's wife will not be used by outsiders..."
Song Guanzhou raised his eyes slightly, smiling, "Dong'er, you have served her for so many years, you probably understand her personality better than I do."
This one sentence suppressed Jindong's doubts.
Her shoulders dropped, and her whole body seemed to be exhausted. Looking at the young lady whose legs were broken, she could no longer hold back and choked up, "There are so many men in the world, why can't Jin Fuyun see others and only stare at your husband, the young lady, and not give in! She is obviously the daughter of a powerful person, but she does these covetous and despicable things!"
There are more men in the world than just the Fourth Young Master!
"Don't cry. Tears can't change any predicament. I'm not afraid, so why should you be afraid?"
"I just feel sorry for the young lady. I am not bringing up the past. You and the fourth young master were both from the Jianshui family, and then things slowly got better. After all the hardships, you didn't have time to live a stable life for a few days, and then a princess' daughter showed up—"
A real bully.
Song Guanzhou rubbed the good side of her face and wiped away her tears.
"Don't be afraid! I have a clear conscience and I am not a humble person. It's just that you have to suffer with me."
"Young Madam——"
Honeysuckle crossed her arms and wiped away her tears in a very bandit-like manner.
"My life is worthless. If someone were to murder you, they would step over my body first."
Ouch!
No, no, no!
"Silly girl, you don't trust your master. I'm not afraid. As long as I'm here, even the fourth young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, with her extraordinary abilities, can't make me lose my life overnight."
Otherwise, would her whole day of math competition have been wasted?
