Chapter 927 Chapter 927
But I can’t elaborate on this…
After a moment, he shook his head gently, "The eldest girl would not do such a big thing. She is engaged to the prince and can get married in the spring. Why rush it now?"
Jin Qi curled his lips, "Panxi, you overestimate my elder sister. This time, my elder sister came back and was whipped by my uncle himself. She is lame and covered with scars. Her reputation is also ruined. If she returns to the capital, I am afraid that Prince Yong will also want to cancel the engagement——"
At this point, she pinched Pan Xi gently and said, "Many women don't know their own feelings at first, and think they are very tired of men, but when they really have to leave, they suddenly feel reluctant to leave."
Pan Xi was speechless for a while before he asked carefully:
"The eldest girl and the prince have done something, I'm afraid she is too embarrassed to face it, I wonder how she is doing now?"
Jin Qi snorted and laughed, "Eldest sister has always looked down on me, saying that I am a coquettish person by nature and cannot even stand up straight when talking to men. Now that she has caused such a huge disaster, she may not die headfirst, and it will save the reputation of our Jin family!"
He said the last few words with some gnashing of teeth.
After some hesitation, Pan Xi slowly asked, "Young lady...are you safe and sound?"
Jin Qi nodded, "My eldest brother wrote in the letter that my eldest sister went crazy when she returned home, and it was useless to persuade her."
Anyway, I didn't see the word death throughout the whole article.
"Young lady... you are so confused!"
Pan Xi could only sigh, but Jin Qi was angry. "If she banged her head against a pillar and died, I would admire her a little. In the past, she said that I was not a chaste and heroic woman. Now that it's her turn, why doesn't she just die?"
Really dead!
She will be able to marry into the Prince Yong’s Mansion…
"The princess brought the eldest daughter to the capital, and it has only been a few days since they met the Communist Party. Apart from such a major event, the seventh daughter should be careful in what she says and does in front of the general, and don't make the general angry."
Jin Qi nodded, "My uncle has always treated me like his own son. I have been filial to him for many years and I know the limits."
The next day, Jin Qi went to pay her respects to Jin Meng again. Although Jin Meng looked unhappy, he did not vent his anger on her.
But the house fell into deathly silence.
Jin Meng would certainly not publicize such a scandal, but no one knew who did it, and the news spread like wildfire in Liyang City.
The eldest girl was extremely lewd. She had attempted to elope with a servant in October but failed. Seeing that her fiancé could not bear the humiliation and wanted to cancel the engagement, the eldest girl decided to go all out and gave him an aphrodisiac, making the marriage a fait accompli.
Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.
When someone with ulterior motives heard it and reported it to Jin Meng, Jin Meng's eyes went dark and he almost fell to the ground.
When people were sent out to stop the rumors, they discovered that everyone knew about it, from the prefect of Liyang to peddlers, from ordinary people to wealthy families.
"who is it?"
Jin Meng slammed the table in anger, "Who sent this?"
But with so many people in Liyang, how could they find out? The government and his soldiers were all dispatched to severely punish those who spread the rumors.
But even so, it can't stop people from talking.
Some people even wrote doggerel and posted it all over the streets. The general idea was that the general had done many evil things and was getting his retribution by having a lewd daughter and an incompetent son.
How can one be simple and unpretentious when he is in a high position?
A simple person can never achieve great success, but anyone with a complicated past, even though Jin Meng is a great general, cannot stand being talked about.
As a result, the scandal of Jin Fuyun drugging and having an affair with Prince Yong in Liyang became impossible to suppress.
Just when Jin was feeling overwhelmed, the second secret letter rushed into the general's mansion at lightning speed.
The person who came was dressed in mourning and his voice was choked with sobs.
"General! The princess is dead—"
"What did you say?"
Jin Meng stood up suddenly, but he felt dizzy and staggered, almost falling down. Jin Qi quickly supported him, but Jin Qi was too weak to support him. If it weren't for Pan Xi and several maids helping him, Jin Meng would have fallen to the ground.
"Say it again!"
"The princess...is dead!"
The man knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, handed over the secret letter written by Jin Yunfan himself with both hands, and walked on his knees to the general.
"The emperor held the princess accountable. The Prince An's Mansion and the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion jointly submitted a petition. The Jin family threatened the princess's villa... The princess swallowed the gold... and committed suicide."
Jin Meng's body went limp, and several maids couldn't even hold Jin Qi back. With a clang, she fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Uncle! Uncle!"
The maids hurried to tell each other, "Come quickly, call the doctor!"
The general's mansion was rarely in such a state of panic. When the concubines in the backyard heard the noise, their first reaction was, "Impossible, a figure like the princess would never be gone..."
Secondly, ah!
really dead?
The favored aunt had already rushed to the front yard and supported Jin Meng to cry. The unfavored aunt was a step slower and knelt hypocritically on the periphery, weeping softly.
At night, Jin Meng had no choice but to compromise and go to Beijing to apologize.
Jin Qi looked at Jin Meng who had not eaten for the whole day. He had been depressed for several days because of Jin Fuyun's matter. If he didn't eat anymore, he would definitely not be able to endure it.
The seventh girl cooked the porridge herself and brought Ruilian Ziling to the study.
After much persuasion, Jin Meng finally started to eat. After eating half full, he sighed, "Seventh girl, it would be great if you were born to me and the princess."
Jin Qi knelt down, lowered his eyes and replied, "Uncle, this matter is strange. I am afraid that someone in the capital has plotted against my sister. She has been raised by my aunt with humility and kindness, and she would never do something that would bring shame to the Jin family."
Jin Meng's eyelids were swollen from staying up all night, and even if he closed them tightly, he couldn't suppress the burning pain in his eyes.
"She has always been too opinionated. In the end, the Jin family has to take responsibility for this matter."
"But my great aunt passed away suddenly. Do we need to bring back her coffin?"
"The Heavenly Family won't allow it."
Jin Meng took a short rest and his mood gradually eased. "Your eldest brother wrote to me, saying that your eldest aunt passed away suddenly. As a husband, I can only go back to attend the funeral at this time."
When Jin Qi heard this, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately knelt on the ground. "Uncle has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently, and has lost a lot of weight. Qi Niang is worried about your health, so I ask you to allow me to go to the capital with you."
"Seventh girl, you are thoughtful."
Jin Meng waved his hand, "We have been rushing all the way, and you have always been weak, so you'd better stay at home."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Qi raised his little face, tears streaming down his face.
"I lost my parents when I was young, and I was able to grow up thanks to my uncle and aunt's teaching. Now that my aunt has passed away, it is reasonable for me to go to her house and show my filial piety."
After saying this, the tears fell faster.
Jin Meng sighed, "If you walk with me, you won't be able to catch up. Don't worry, when the date of your aunt's funeral is set, all the brothers and sisters in this mansion will go to the capital to kneel before the coffin."
Two days later, another secret letter arrived. The general locked the door tightly and everyone
