Chapter 614
In fact, Song Guanzhou was already very drunk, but she still remained conscious and struggled to take a bath.
With the help of maids and old women, Song Guanzhou was soaking in the wooden barrel for a while.
She only left Ren Dong to serve inside. Pei An wanted to help, but Song Guanzhou refused. "Silang, you've worked hard all day. Go wash up and rest early. I'll take a bath to warm myself up and come in a while."
Pei An held her, feeling very guilty.
"My wife, please don't be angry. If your husband does something wrong, just reprimand him. Don't keep it in your heart, as it will hurt your internal organs."
Song Guanzhou forced a smile to comfort Pei An.
"I'm really not mad at you, I just miss my brother."
Her parents passed away long ago, and her only adoptive brother was driven away by the original owner. As fate followed her step by step, her life and death were unpredictable, and she missed the family affection that she had never taken seriously before.
Song Guanzhou didn't have much energy to calm Pei An's mood. She turned around and helped Rendong into the bathroom. When she took off her clothes and sank into the hot water, the warmth invaded her cold heart from the surface of her skin. She couldn't help sobbing anymore.
Ren Dong had not seen the young lady weeping for a long time, and was immediately frightened and panicked. She lowered her voice and asked repeatedly, "Young lady, what's wrong with you? Tell me, please don't cry like this..."
Having said that, Honeysuckle's eyes instantly turned red.
Who is wrong?
No one is wrong!
Ren Dong squatted in front of the wooden barrel, holding Song Guanzhou's hand tightly, "I was careless. I didn't let Sister Meng go out for a walk these two days. Otherwise, I could find a random passerby to find out something about such a big event as Prince An's death."
Song Guanzhou cried silently but violently.
Soon, the straight eyelashes were covered with residual tears, and the pretty oval face was also covered with tears.
From time to time, tears as big as beans rolled down.
There was only her sobbing, without any sound.
"Young lady..."
Song Guanzhou lowered her head slightly, letting two lines of tears drip into the bathtub. She choked and said, "I'm afraid my foster brother... is gone."
"Young Madam, you must not say that."
Ren Dong hurriedly comforted Song Guanzhou, "Dalong is a vast country. I heard that the territory is thousands of miles. It is so vast. I am afraid that the uncle was reluctant to leave, or he wanted to report his safety to you during this period. Unfortunately, the journey was too long and he lost contact with you just now."
Song Guanzhou shook his head.
In the original novel, Song Xinglu's ending was not explained, because they, the brother and sister, were not important in the original novel.
Everything is just a foil for Pei An and Jin Fuyun, a good couple.
Song Guanzhou covered his face and cried softly.
If Song Xinglu were still around, she would have given up everything in Shaohua Garden, taken a few maids who were willing to follow her, and traveled around the world with Song Xinglu. This would have been better than what she is living now.
When Rendong saw the young lady crying, who hadn't been so sad for a long time, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
But she was worried that the Fourth Young Master would hear it, so she had to scoop water with a wooden ladle and pour it softly on Song Guanzhou.
The sound of splashing water covered up the layers of sadness of the master and servant.
"Young Madam, don't worry. I will definitely send Sister Meng out for more walks in the future. Even if the Fourth Young Master doesn't tell you, you will know the big things."
Song Guanzhou shook his head slightly.
Tears fell again from her tightly closed eyes.
"He treats me very well. Compared to other couples, he dotes on me. But I am sad. Thinking about my brother who has disappeared without a trace, I can't help but feel sad because of the alcohol."
She sighed a few times, but still couldn't suppress her endless sadness.
He simply sank into the barrel in search of a moment's peace.
He poked his head out of the water again and saw that Honeysuckle was also crying secretly. He wiped the water and tears off his face and gently wiped away Honeysuckle's tears.
"I was crying because I was drunk, why are you crying?"
Honeysuckle shook her head, "I feel sad for you."
Song Guanzhou felt much better after crying. Hearing what Ren Dong said, he smiled and said, "Forget it. I am not sad anymore. Just wipe your tears and fetch a bucket of hot water."
Honeysuckle wiped her tears and said "OK" in a low voice.
She got up and opened the door to go out, only to see the Fourth Young Master standing in the main hall. She was stunned for a moment, and after a moment she asked, "Fourth Young Master, why haven't you rested yet? Why didn't He Hua come to serve you?"
When she wanted to stick her head out and greet He Hua, Pei An raised his hand to signal her to be quiet.
Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Is Guanzhou okay?"
Honeysuckle nodded slowly, "Don't worry, Fourth Young Master. The Madam is probably very drunk today and is still sobering up. I'll go get a bucket of hot water and help her get up in a while."
Pei An wanted to go to the bathroom, but Rendong carefully stopped him and shook his head gently.
"Fourth Master, go and take a rest. It's wet inside. I'll take care of you in a moment."
Letting the Fourth Young Master see the Young Madam crying is probably not what the Young Madam wants.
Pei An sighed, "She still blames me."
Ren Dong was about to speak, but finally managed to smooth things over, "Fourth Master, the young lady said that you treated her very well, but she was drunk and was worried about her uncle who hadn't sent any news for more than a year."
"I know that. Never mind. You can try to persuade her later."
He took a half step back and turned to go into the inner room. Honeysuckle and Lotus brought large buckets of freshly boiled hot water and added it into Song Guanzhou's bathtub one scoop at a time.
"You two heard it right. Qin Er said that Prince An choked to death, right?"
Song Guanzhou suddenly thought of this and immediately asked.
Lotus nodded repeatedly, "Young Madam, you heard it right, that's what the Second Young Master said. He also said that throughout history, there have been many ways of death, but among the princes and nobles, it is rare for someone to die from choking on a bite of cake."
It is not only rare, but probably only Prince An is the first one in the history of Dalong.
Song Guanzhou closed his eyes slightly. Damn it, this was definitely Jin Fuyun's doing. She was so bold that she even dared to murder the royal prince and delay the wedding date.
Why is Song Guanzhou so confident?
Because Jin Fuyun's invaluable mother, a princess, choked to death after eating glutinous rice balls.
At that time, many people frequently debated that this way of death was illogical, because there were so many servants and maids around Princess Hong'an, how could they allow her to choke to death while eating a glutinous rice ball...
It's a little confusing.
It was only after careful consideration that I realized that there was someone around who didn't know how to give first aid. The glutinous rice balls were glutinous and sticky, and if he didn't vomit them out or swallow them within three to five breaths, he would definitely hold his breath.
Jin Fuyun must have used this method to make Prince An die without knowing it.
Why are you so sure?
Song Guanzhou didn't believe it was accidental until this time in her life. Besides, Jin Fuyun was reborn. She knew that her mother would choke to death from eating glutinous rice balls, so she simply tried every means to murder Prince An.
Thinking of this, Song Guanzhou got goose bumps on his arms.
Honeysuckle and Lotus didn't know and thought it was the cold water. "Madam, do you feel cold?"
Song Guanzhou shook his head slowly and said slowly:
"Three months of mourning is neither long nor short. Anything is possible. Please be careful."
