Chapter 928 Chapter 928
At night, Jin Qi called Pan Xi to sleep together.
"Good sister, this is my chance."
Pan Xi was slightly stunned. The dim candlelight shone through the curtains and fell on her expressionless face. After a while, she asked, "What is your plan, young lady?"
"Tomorrow morning, you and I will go with you, and we will follow my uncle into the capital by car."
When Pan Xi heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"Girl, you can't do it!"
Jin Qi snorted, "My aunt, the princess, is gone. Sooner or later, I will have to go to the capital to guard the coffin and send off the body. If I go earlier, I can also find out what's happening in the capital."
Pan Xi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave and was so frozen that she couldn't speak.
"Seventh Miss, things are not that smooth in the capital."
The prosperity is dazzling, the situation is changing, if Pan Xi goes back, it would be like seeking death.
"My dear sister, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Now my elder sister has lost her dignity and cannot bear children. Even if she can still enter the Prince's Mansion, I am afraid it is impossible for her to be as rich as she said during the marriage proposal."
She had committed adultery before marriage, but she did not hang herself to prove her innocence.
How could Jin Fuyun, who had survived, have the nerve to compete with me for favor?
Pan Xi murmured, "This marriage has not yet been completed, and many troubles have already occurred. Seventh Miss, why should we go down this path to the end?"
Jin Qi smiled and was not angry when he heard Pan Xi say that.
Turning to face Pan Xi, he said, "I know you're thinking about me, and you're afraid that if I thrust in too suddenly, something bad might happen."
"This matter is strange, and I don't know who planned it. But I think in my heart, if I were the Prince of Yong, and I really believed that this matter was done by the eldest girl, I would definitely have a grudge against her. No matter how gentle the seventh girl is, she is also a sister of the eldest girl's family. I am afraid that-"
He Jiang must be crazy to marry another girl from the Jin family.
Jin Qi nodded, "I know what you mean, but if I can take this opportunity to go to Beijing and meet a better man, it will be better than wasting my time in Liyang."
Ever since the death of the only grandmother in the Jin family, it has become difficult for Jin Qi to return to Beijing.
There is no way to hope for happiness, just obey.
The next day, before dawn, I heard lights being lit outside the second gate. Ruilian had already come to inquire, "Miss, the general will be leaving soon."
Jin Qi also changed his clothes, wearing a bright red quilted cloak with a high collar rolled with white rabbit fur, which made his little face look even more energetic.
The three big maids also prepared their own things, carrying large and small bags, and followed behind them.
"Girl, are we just going to follow quietly?"
Jin Qi shook his head, "Of course not. Go outside the second gate and report to my uncle. If I beg him again and again, he will surely agree to my request."
It really works under the banner of filial piety.
Jin Meng refused at first, but he could not bear Jin Qi's earnest words. "Since my aunt passed away, I am afraid that the relatives in Beijing dare not come forward to help. Only my eldest sister-in-law is alone, and there is no helper for socializing inside and outside. Although I am not very old, I have been taught by my uncle and aunt, and I know a little bit. If I can help to deal with it, it will be better than my sister-in-law's hardship."
"Your child is so stubborn. It's not easy to travel thousands of miles!"
"I can endure hardships, and my uncle can ride a horse, but I can't ride a car..."
The little girl had a stubborn look on her face, which made Jin Meng find joy in the midst of misery and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Forget it. Your cousins are not as capable as you. Since you are not afraid of hard work, just follow me."
After Jin Qi got on the carriage, he followed Jin Meng's team and left Liyang in a mighty procession.
The concubines in the back house were stunned when they heard the news. They were usually at odds with each other, but now they were gathered together. "Did that little girl convince the general to come to the capital with him?"
The third concubine snorted and laughed, "Second brother, this little bitch grew up in front of you. She used to call you aunt and was very sweet. Now why didn't she tell you, her foster mother, when she passed away?"
The second brother is not young, in his forties.
At this moment, his face was full of displeasure. "What foster mother? Don't tell her about it if the Seventh Miss hears it. She might say that I, a half-slave and half-servant, am fawning on her."
"Never mind, I underestimated this little hoof."
The fourth brother laughed, "She thinks the capital is so good. If she were good, she could be brought to Liyang. It's ridiculous!"
"Oh, Old Four, you are so mean. If the little girl can't find a good marriage in Liyang, she will definitely crawl to the capital."
"The eldest girl has a bad reputation in the capital. She is running to the capital at the height of the storm. She is really walking into a trap. Who among the good families would be willing to discuss marriage with the Jin family?"
The third brother stroked the ruby on his forehead and felt distressed.
She hadn't worn this new headband twice before her mistress passed away. For the next year or so, she couldn't wear the rubies or the red dresses.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help sighing in my heart.
"Young lady, you really are the type who will make a splash if you don't make a sound!"
Jin Fuyun realized it later. She learned from her mother's servants that her father had gone to Beijing. "Has he left Liyang?"
She had been in a daze all day and all night, as if her mind was not clear after hearing her elder brother mention that their father was coming. Now when she heard the mother-in-law talking about it, she felt like she was falling into an icy cave.
"Father, you absolutely cannot come."
Jin Yunfan stepped in and sneered through the screen, "Father can't come, but does that mean he has the final say?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked around the screen and came in.
The maids and servants quickly bowed and brought a chair. A charcoal basin was placed between the brother and sister. Jin Yunfan sneered as he looked at his haggard and broken sister lying on the imperial concubine's couch.
"You're not going to make trouble today?"
But within a few days, the eyes of the once dignified and elegant young lady were now filled with red bloodshot and dullness, like a pearl covered with dust.
She was in her twenties, and although she wasn't stunningly beautiful, she had a rosy complexion, white teeth, and a youthful appearance.
At this moment, it has lost its luster and is only pale.
Her rosy cheeks had become haggard, and her red lips had turned pale and cracked, with blood oozing out from time to time, forming dark red blood scabs.
What’s more important is that this incident was like a sharp knife cutting into Jin Fuyun’s heart, almost taking away all of her knowledge and reason.
She stared blankly with her eyes, lacking their former radiance, and looking more like a wild ghost jumping out of the underworld.
It's soul-stirring.
"Father had all sorts of reasons not to come to Beijing. Now that he has finally come, he is being roasted on the fire."
Jin Fuyun woke up, held a mouthful of blood, and spoke in a low voice.
Jin Yunfan just found it funny.
"You know that, but how can you hide from the saint's guidance?"
At this point, Jin Yunfan raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Princess Hong'an's coffin. "Your biological mother, my stepmother, what crime did she commit? Now she is lying in the cold mourning hall. If your father doesn't come, who will come to see her off?"
Speaking of her mother, Jin Fuyun's broken heart still ached.
"Mother..., mother has you and me, and the palace to help."
