Chapter 452
Song Youan stretched out his hand and made a gesture for him to sit down.
Jin Fuyun snorted, motioned Pan Xi to leave, and then sat down, "Go ahead."
Song Youan laughed, "She has a really bad temper. She is indeed a woman who wants to be the Princess of Yong County. She should not be underestimated. Well, what I want is very small. It's just a matter of a word from the young lady."
Ok?
Jin Fuyun picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Where is my subordinate now?"
Jin Fuyun didn't hesitate any longer and stated his purpose directly, asking about Yu Cheng's whereabouts. Song Youan smiled, and a charming androgynous look appeared on his clean face, "Don't worry."
After a pause, Song Youan replied nonchalantly, "I'm fine. I can eat and sleep, and I eat once every two days. But the blind eye is still getting worse. It seems like it has an ulcer, and it's bleeding every day. The other eye is not doing well. It seems like it's getting worse too, and I can't see clearly."
He said it lightly, but Jin Fuyun could not hide his worry.
"What do you want in exchange for letting him go?"
"Release him?" Song Youan frowned, "Young lady, you said that, you think I, an actor, am a thief. You should know that it was he who sneaked into my carriage and almost stabbed me to death! Jingzhao Yin and the officers and monks of Longen Temple chased him, but I saved his life without any grudges..."
Song Youan felt aggrieved and had been living in subjugation for a long time, so he couldn't help but lose some of his masculinity.
"Miss, I'm scared. He wants to assassinate the Prince of the Pei family and Master Hongzhao. He is guilty of a serious crime. If Lord He finds out that I'm protecting him, I'll be an accomplice at the very least. I'll probably end up in jail."
He is good at singing and composing, worthy of being an actor.
"Tell me, how much do you want?" Jin Fuyun was impatient and asked the price directly.
Song Youan was not vague either, blurting out, "One hundred taels of gold."
One hundred taels?
Not a few, but not much either.
Jin Fuyun narrowed his eyes, "Okay, where are the people?"
Song Youan smiled brightly, "Young lady, you are so open-minded, so let's exchange the money and the person." After a few words, he explained the exchange method, and Jin Fuyun suddenly said, "I will give you two hundred taels of gold, without any mark, and of high quality."
"So generous? What do you want, young lady?"
Jin Fuyun stood up and approached Song Youan, "Just shut up. If I ever hear that my subordinate has revealed even a single word about his whereabouts, I will never forgive you."
"Oh! Girl, I'm scared to death."
Song Youan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm just trying to make money. As for other things, I'm so stupid that I don't understand."
Having finished talking, Song Youan stood up and was about to leave.
But before opening the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Jin Fuyun, "My eldest lady and Prince Yong are a perfect match, both brave and resourceful. I wish you two a happy marriage and a son soon."
"How do you know that Prince Yong is both brave and resourceful?"
Jin Fuyun glanced sideways and mentioned her fiancé without any sweet words, but instead asked coldly.
Song Youan's expression froze for a moment, and he sighed, "We in the Jiaofang Division all rely on the dignitaries of the capital for food. You and Prince Yong are the first big happy event of the year, and you are counting on being a stage master at the Prince's Mansion to get some reward money. In this case, how could I not recognize Prince He, who is a dragon among men?"
"A good marriage is a gift from heaven, thank you Pipa Lang."
He said thank you very much, but where can I see the gratitude?
Song Youan understood, and walked out with joy at having accomplished something. Pan Xi wanted to see him off, but he suddenly pulled her into his arms and bit her face hard, "You damned girl!"
Pan Xi was embarrassed enough when a strange man pulled her into his arms. She tried to break free, but she never expected that the man would ignore the difference between men and women and bite her hard on the cheek.
It hurt so much that tears came out of her eyes.
"Sir, you can't——"
But the playboy pushed her away and left, leaving her with tears in her eyes, feeling ashamed and angry. She turned around to complain to Jin Fuyun, but Jin Fuyun glanced at her coldly from the half-open door.
She was startled and hurried back to the house, kneeling down in front of Jin Fuyun, "Miss, that playboy bullied me."
Bully?
Jin Fuyun snorted and laughed, "Didn't he flirt with you? He kissed you. Look at this little face. If I were a man, I would like it too."
Pan Xi wanted to cry but had no tears, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"I just met this gentleman this morning. He was not flirting with me, but bullying me..."
Her voice became weaker as she spoke, only because Jin Fuyun moved her body. She lowered her eyes and saw the young lady's disgust, but just by saying this, Jin Fuyun felt less suspicious and stopped.
After drinking tea for a while, he was ready to go back home.
Pan Xi just opened the door, stuck her head out, then immediately retracted it and whispered, "Miss, it's the second young master Qin."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Fuyun raised her head and happened to meet Qin Qingdong who was walking under the eaves.
"Xi Hui——"
She whispered.
Qin Qingdong was somewhat surprised that when he met Jin Fuyun here, he was not as enthusiastic as before. Thinking about what the woman in front of him had done to the eldest sister of the East Palace, he no longer felt the joy of meeting a close friend.
Qin Qingdong, who always had a folding fan with him, stood outside the door and smiled faintly, "Isn't the eldest lady preparing for her wedding? How come she has the leisure and elegance to come to Xiangming Pavilion?"
Getting ready to get married?
Jin Fuyun lowered her eyes, unable to hide her disappointment, "Xi Hui and I have become so distant, the affection we once had is gone..."
"Whoa!"
Qin Qingdong suddenly laughed out loud, fanning himself and stepped into the box, facing Jin Fuyun head-on, "Young lady, you will be the princess of a county prince in the future. I am a commoner, so I dare not cling to you like I did before."
Although he is the younger brother of the Crown Princess, he does not engage in politics, has no achievements and no official position, so he is just a commoner.
Jin Fuyun closed her eyes slightly, hiding her sadness.
"There is a misunderstanding between you and me, Xi Hui."
Qin Qingdong turned his head and smiled obscurely, "It doesn't matter, future Princess of the County. In the past, Ji Zhang and I were too young and ignored the difference between men and women in terms of etiquette. From now on, we must keep our distance and don't make a fuss."
Jin Fuyun was heartbroken after hearing this. She slowly opened her eyes with endless loss and regret. "You and Ji Zhang both think of me this way? I have never changed. I have treated you two with sincerity. Why have we come to this point today?"
This was said as if it were true.
Qin Qingdong is not an idiot, so he will not stand here and yell at Jin Fuyun. He smiled faintly, strolled leisurely in the luxurious box, and said after some consideration, "The past is like a passing cloud. All good things must come to an end. I have always admired that you are a woman, but you have the demeanor of a man. The friendship between us all these years is not in vain. This time you have found a good husband, and we old friends are also happy for you."
That’s all. Don’t get involved with me in the future, my dear lady.
There were mists in Jin Fuyun's eyes. After hearing these words, she couldn't hold it in any longer and tears flowed down.
"Xi Hui——"
