Chapter 603
At this point, Mrs. Mei held her chest, a little breathless.
Mei Qingyu and Gu Miaofeng immediately came to help by patting her back. Pei Shuyu was also scolded by her mother harshly and couldn't help but feel a little timid. Only after Mei Qingyu's urging did she lower her head and apologize to her mother.
"Mother, I am narrow-minded, please don't hold it against me. I just wanted to celebrate the festival and enjoy the moon peacefully, but I am so tired and worried..."
"You're worried too!"
Mrs. Mei looked at her daughter and, regardless of the presence of her niece and daughter-in-law, she pulled her close to her and poked her index finger on her smooth, white forehead. "Asshole! If it weren't for your fourth sister-in-law, your reputation would have been ruined long ago. Your father and elder brother were not at home at that time. If that villain had succeeded in his plan, do you know what would happen to you in the future?"
Pei Shuyu stiffened her neck and said, "At worst, I won't get married. I'll give up my hair and become a nun."
Be a nun?
Mrs. Mei was so angry that she laughed. She couldn't help but hit her daughter a few times, "Don't be ungrateful. If you want to be like your son's second sister-in-law, I will definitely not tolerate it."
Xiao Yinxiu simply forgot that Song Guanzhou risked his life to save her two brothers. Looking at his behavior tonight, if anyone was to blame, the first one to blame was Xiao Yinxiu, and the other was the one she gave birth to.
She was taught to be very versatile in the past, but when she met Silang's wife, she became confused.
However, Song Guanzhou didn't know about these things and didn't care about them.
She continued to apologize to her two sisters-in-law and one sister, as well as to the maids and old women including Honeysuckle, who had just returned home with their legs weakened. She comforted one, while another became frightened and burst into tears.
There were so many women in the room crying, and Song Guanzhou finally felt helpless and looked at Pei An and Xiao Bei for help.
The two gentlemen were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and finally they all retreated to the flower stand in the yard to have tea.
Dayou Song Guanzhou, you made your own tears, so go and wipe them yourself. Song Guanzhou wanted to drink three more pots of wine and get drunk to save himself the trouble.
Especially the maids, who tugged at her dress, reenacting the moment of separation over and over again, "Young Madam, you were blown away by the wind like a fairy. We didn't even blink, and we lost sight of you."
Song Guanzhou held his forehead and smiled bitterly, "There were too many people. The two women pushed me and I lost my balance, so I was carried forward by the crowd."
She wanted to go back and look for Pei An, but there was so much people at that time that she was squeezed into an empty space. When she looked up, she didn't recognize anyone in the huge crowd.
"Young Madam is so scary, I was stepped on several times."
good good!
Whenever they were stepped on, they would go to her to cry and complain. Then she looked at Rendong and Xu Lingqiao, who were sitting opposite each other, shedding tears at the same time from time to time.
——Oh my god!
Song Guanzhou ran out when he saw an opportunity, dragged Pei An and wailed in a low voice, "I know I was wrong, please Silang and fourth cousin, please persuade the sisters-in-law to go back quickly. My eldest sister-in-law keeps scolding me, and I can't stand it anymore."
Whenever the maid started crying, Qi Yueniang would frown and say, "Guan Zhou, look, everyone in this room depends on you for their livelihood. If you are gone, what will they do?"
good good!
Song Guanzhou apologized again.
Xu Lingqiao wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but she felt the same way and burst into tears before she could say anything. She only had time to say, "Guanzhou, you...you must not get hurt, otherwise how can my sister live——"
Before Song Guanzhou could step forward to wipe her tears, Qi Yueniang had already hugged Xu Lingqiao in her arms with a solemn expression. Just as she was about to speak, Song Guanzhou immediately imitated a man and bowed deeply.
"Sister-in-law, please forgive me soon."
It was not until Song Guanzhou came out to ask for help for the second time that Pei An and Xiao Bei smiled at each other, then stood up to persuade the people around her. Seeing that it was getting late, Qi Yueniang, Zhang Fanghui, and Xu Lingqiao left with their maids.
When Pei An sent everyone away and returned to the inner room, Song Guanzhou had collapsed like a meat pie, hanging on the kang bed.
"A room full of women crying, I don't want to go through that again."
Seeing this, Pei An wanted to scold a few more times, but he couldn't bear it. He walked over and helped the weak Song Guanzhou to stand up. "Forget it, I won't say anything to you. Let the maid help you wash up. You have to be more considerate of your man."
The one who was really exhausted was Pei An.
It is wonderful to recover what you have lost, but I definitely don't want to experience it again.
Pei An called a few maids whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and comforted them with a few words before letting them help Song Guanzhou to wash and change clothes.
The matter of Song Guanzhou getting lost was finally revealed.
The days were relatively peaceful. After August, it was September. Huang Zhi's wedding day was about to arrive, but on September 19th, something big happened.
Pei Anzhi returned late, and he had been busy with the handover of official duties recently, which made him quite hectic. When he returned home, it was often a starry night with no sun.
After working hard all day, when he was about to take a break, Linshan suddenly came running and knocked on the door of Shaohua Garden.
As soon as Zhuang Gu opened the courtyard door, she saw Lin Shan's anxious face, "Has the Fourth Young Master gone to bed?" Zhuang Gu didn't know why, so she just shook her head and pointed to the main room where the lights were still on, "The Fourth Young Master is still waiting for the Young Madam to wash up. After the Young Madam has finished washing, he will tidy up and go to bed."
"Go quickly and just say that Lin Shan wants to see you."
Ok?
Zhuang Gu hesitated for a moment, and Lin Shan quickly walked towards the yard, "Go and report quickly."
After Zhuang Gu came in dazed and reported to Pei An, who was taking a nap on the kang bed, Pei An immediately sat up, put on his shoes and walked out of the house.
As soon as Linshan saw the door open, he couldn't wait to walk over.
"Linshan, what's the matter?"
Lin Shan swallowed his saliva and was about to speak, but then he glanced inside the house again, and then he led Pei An to the flower stand in the middle of the courtyard and whispered, "Fourth Master, Prince An has passed away!"
Pei An's eyes suddenly widened.
He looked at Lin Shan, who panted and nodded heavily, "Fourth Master, I also found it unbelievable, so I rode out on horseback, and the death bell rang in Prince An's Mansion."
Pei An's expression suddenly turned gloomy, "Prince An... passed away."
He looked incredulous and continued to ask, "Can you find out the reason? If I remember correctly, Prince An is only sixty-eight today."
Prince An Liu Jue is one of the few royal relatives who is respectful to the current emperor, so he became Prince An as his cousin.
He did not care about state affairs, lived a carefree life, and kept a house full of birds, cats and dogs, which made him very happy.
Lin Shan shook his head, "I haven't asked yet. Prince An's Mansion is in a mess right now—" At this point, Lin Shan raised his head with a firm look in his eyes, "Fourth Young Master, I don't worry about other things, but considering the importance His Majesty places on Prince An, I'm afraid the whole country will have to mourn."
Pei An closed his eyes slightly.
"I'm afraid so. In the past, the emperor was decisive in killing people, and there are only a few old princes from the side branches left in the royal family. Among them, Prince An is the only one who can speak in front of the Queen Mother and is summoned to the palace from time to time."
"Fourth Young Master, the marriage between the eldest lady and Prince Yong will probably have to be postponed..."
