Chapter 534
Chapter 534
Everyone with eyes knows that Jin Fuyun is arrogant. Pei An is not blind, so he can see it clearly. He told the old man of the Huang family part of the story, and the old man was furious when he heard it. "How dare you! Jin Meng, this bastard, used to be a mean person, but now he has a daughter, and on the surface he looks generous. I put aside the past, let go of the grudges, and allowed my wife to be a matchmaker with her. Who would have thought that she is so stupid!"
Pei An did not tell the whole story, he only mentioned that the maid who poisoned Jin Fuyun should be Pan Xi.
"It's my fault. The maid used to be a maid in my courtyard. After I got married, I saw that the two maids were quite smart and clever, so I sent them to my wife to serve her closely. I never expected that the two maids were so bold and cunning. They were slaves but had cunning minds. They instigated my young wife to make a lot of jokes..."
He was very sad when he said this.
"Just as I sent them away, the eldest daughter of the Jin family let bygones be bygones and redeemed them. Today the little maid poisoned them. I'm afraid she's angry that I sent someone to sell them out before, so she's using the same old trick again to harm my wife and pin the blame on you, uncle."
"Little maid, such a meticulous matter, in my opinion, I am afraid she cannot manipulate it. If there is no one behind her, can you trust her?"
Pei An shook his head.
"Uncle, the Longen Temple case has also alarmed the palace. The emperor ordered Jingzhao Prefecture to handle the case early, but there has been no progress so far. Uncle..., there have been constant frictions at the border in recent days. Even if the incident today was caused by the maidservant of the eldest lady betraying her master and colluding with the thieves who murdered my wife, even if it is for the sake of General Jin and Princess Hong'an, I am afraid that we will not be able to find out the truth."
"Just a maid——"
Pei An sighed slightly, "The Queen Mother loves this marriage and will not tolerate any mistakes. Some time ago, someone died in the Princess's villa, but it was suppressed quietly."
Mr. Huang raised his head and sighed, "I'm afraid my wife did something wrong with this marriage."
"Don't worry, uncle. The eldest girl and Prince Yong are a perfect match. Aunt is kind-hearted and will make it a good thing."
Mr. Huang shook his head slightly and did not respond to this statement.
Pei An got on the carriage, his eyes became sharp. Aru felt dizzy at the moment, and he endured the pain in his head, not daring to make a sound in front of him.
"Go back soon and have a good rest."
Pei An seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but he knew that Aru in the carriage must be enduring the pain.
Aru replied softly, "Yes."
In the lonely dark night, there was only the creaking sound of wheels on the muddy road. After a long time, Aru whispered, "Fourth Master, it's Panxi."
Pei An was not surprised, nor did he open his eyes, "Why didn't you tell me at the Huang family?"
A'lu said in a hoarse voice, "I'm afraid that I'll ruin the Fourth Young Master's plan. Later, Chun Ge told me that Miss Baoyue and the first two maids were poisoned. This must have been done by Panxi. She and Miss Baoyue don't have any deep hatred. She must have gone after the young lady."
At this point, Alu became very excited and tried to stand up, but this affected the wound on the back of his head. He cried out "ouch", and his energy subsided.
"Don't let anything slip in front of your young mistress. I have my own plans."
A'lu ignored the difference between master and servant and held Pei'an's sleeve, "Fourth Master, I can testify!"
"What evidence?"
Pei An leaned against the wall of the car, letting the shaking of the car body invade his head. Disgust and anger in his internal organs were like a stream of air, circling around and lingering in his chest.
"Testify, it was Pan Xi who was instructed by the eldest girl to poison my young mistress!"
"Bastard!"
There are more than a hundred maids in the Huang Mansion today. How can you be sure that it is Panxi?
"It's Panxi! Fourth Master, I'm not blind. Panxi likes to swing her waist when she walks. I grew up with her, so I would recognize her even if she turned into ashes."
"Shut up!"
Pei An said calmly, "What's the use of Pan Xi? You go to the court to testify today. Believe it or not, Pan Xi will be dead on the street tomorrow. In the end, you will die without any evidence. I want to ask you, is your young mistress safe now?"
Hearing this, not only Aru in the car was stunned, but even Liu Er who was driving the car and Lin Shan who was riding a horse were silent.
Alu opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know how to respond.
After a long time, she was still very angry, but she still insisted on her own opinion, "Fourth Master, the eldest lady is too bullying. Even if she loses Pan Xi, the young lady will be at peace when she goes out for a small banquet in the future."
"how about you?"
"I... I'm not afraid!" A'lu realized what the Fourth Young Master meant and said he was not afraid. Then he was full of courage. "I'm not afraid of death. Pan Xi is really ruthless. You were so kind to them before. But now you are so powerful that you are harming people!"
"Alright, I'll make the decision on this matter. You should take good care of your injuries and keep your mouth shut. Your sisters in Shaohuayuan, just say you don't know to anyone who asks you."
After giving a few instructions, he arrived at the door.
He was exhausted and went in with his robe lifted. Xu Lingqiao stayed with Song Guanzhou until Pei An's message came. Then she said goodbye to Yuyan Jindie and Rendong, "Guanzhou will be in your care. The fourth young master has come in, so I will go back first and come to visit your young lady tomorrow."
She happily took Lotus out and turned to the path leading to Rongfu Garden. She then clutched her clothes tightly around her chest, her chest aching so much that she couldn't speak.
During the midnight snack, Jindie and Yuyan talked about the excitement at the banquet. "Cousin, Sister Rendong, don't worry. Who in the capital doesn't like our young lady? Today, many old ladies are going to send invitations to invite the young lady to eat autumn crabs."
During this period, Mu Yunzhi was mentioned.
"That is the wife of Huang's third son who is not married yet. She has a very good personality and smiles even when she is not speaking. She gets along very well with the young lady. Before she left, Miss Mu reluctantly saw her off. The young lady also said that she would like to invite her to her house for a drink in the future. She is sure that she will get along well with you, my cousin."
When Xu Lingqiao was having supper with Yuyan and Jindie, she heard these words. Her expression remained unchanged, but she was in great pain in her heart.
I forced myself to listen to the general idea and finally realized how gentle and generous Huang Zhi's wife was. If even Guan Zhou liked her, she must be a good girl.
No wonder...
She stood in the darkness, her pain like the muddy water in the lotus pond, drowning her emotions and blocking the lotus's whisper.
Xu Lingqiao, ah Xu Lingqiao.
A courtyard like that, with its messy ground, is just like your bitter fate. Why bother dreaming about it?
"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?"
Lianhua looked at her cousin standing under the courtyard wall, seemingly unable to breathe. She handed the lantern to Xile and hurried over to support her. "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
"My heart aches."
She murmured to herself, somewhat at a loss, half supported by Lotus, "Miss, let's go back to Shaohua Garden. Let me ask Doctor Zhao..."
