Chapter 347
After Aunt Chu and Shuangyue desperately dragged Xiao Yinxiu away, Pei Chen stepped forward to apologize to Song Guanzhou. Song Guanzhou was furious and pointed at Pei Chen mercilessly, "If you two want to quarrel and fight, go to your room. Why did you come to my Shaohua Garden? Are you trying to disgust me on purpose?"
Pei Chen bowed and said no repeatedly.
"Second brother, I respect you as a man. Father is old, and you have to support this mansion. If you only care about supporting your concubine and indulging your fierce wife, will you ignore your two brothers?"
Another Aunt Qin and another Third Young Master?
Pei Chen's face turned red, and he kept saying no, then he walked out of Shaohuayuan in shame. However, as soon as he walked out of the door, his temper flared up.
After all, he is the prince of a noble family!
He held his breath and walked towards the main room with his head down. The servants didn't dare to say a word along the way, thinking that nothing serious should happen tonight.
How could it not come out?
After sending away this ridiculous couple, Song Guanzhou was so angry that his chest heaved. Ling Ge'er and Huan Ge'er hid behind Qin Ge'er and did not dare to say a word.
I looked at the adults eagerly, not knowing what they were arguing about.
But Qin Ge'er and Ling Ge'er were older and knew that their mother had deliberately made trouble to offend Fourth Aunt. Now that their parents had passed away, they had completely forgotten about them.
Qin Ge'er protected his two younger brothers and sat next to his mother, with his head lowered and a little scared.
Qi Yueniang comforted the two, while Zhang Fanghui and Xu Lingqiao comforted Song Guanzhou at the same time. Song Guanzhou calmed down and called the three brothers to him, "This is a matter between your fourth aunt and your mother. Don't take it to heart. You brothers should study hard. Apart from other things, you must be like your fourth uncle and his brothers, unite and help each other and support each other."
The three brothers kept nodding their heads like radishes.
Song Guanzhou added, "Only by reading more can you distinguish right from wrong. In this world, no one never makes mistakes. You must learn to distinguish right from wrong. Don't just listen to rumors and judge anyone or anything at will."
At this point, Qin Ge'er and Ling Ge'er seemed to understand what was said.
"Aunt Si, can you be wrong too?"
Song Guanzhou smiled calmly, "That's natural. As people grow, they keep making mistakes. Reading and learning can help you make fewer mistakes in the future. Also, you must know your mistakes and correct them."
After that, they stopped preaching and let Rendong and the others coax the three older ones and Ruige from Xiao Bei's family to eat until they were 80% full and go to the empty space nearby to play.
Looking at my brothers, sisters-in-law and older sisters, they all had complicated expressions.
She knew that she had frightened everyone, so she asked someone to clean up the leftovers, boil water and make tea, and comforted everyone, "Don't worry—"
After the four words were out, Xu Lingbai sighed, "Cousin..." But he couldn't say anything to make Song Guanzhou tolerate it. Xiao Bei beside him hurriedly bowed and said, "Eldest sister's temper is getting worse and worse. I will report it to my uncle later. Please don't take it to heart."
Song Guanzhou waved his hand, "Fourth cousin, your words are too serious, but you don't need to pass on the message to my eldest uncle. When my aunt was staying at the mansion, she had a lot of disputes with my second sister-in-law. As the saying goes, it's easy to change the country but hard to change one's nature. She is just like this by nature, so let her be."
One day, people will pay the price for their character.
Seeing that she was smiling again, Zhang Fanghui admired her very much. She was indeed a woman valued by the three elders of the Duke's family. Her ability to control her emotions freely was something that ordinary people could not achieve.
She sighed, "Forget it, Guan Zhou, you should avoid meeting her in the future. Your sister-in-law is here anyway."
Qi Yueniang shook her head. "Xiu'er's temper is hard to understand now. Fortunately, Guan Zhou has a good heart, otherwise there would be another commotion."
"Tsk! My two sisters-in-law, don't worry."
Song Guanzhou pulled the worried Xu Lingqiao over and said, "Don't worry, even if teeth and tongue are good, they still have to bump into each other. Besides, my second sister-in-law and I have no kinship or hatred. I just don't like her. My second brother has apologized for her. You kind sisters should put your mind at ease."
She is careless and doesn't take things seriously.
Qi Yueniang looked at her with some heartache, "Okay, if you think it through, we won't worry about it anymore."
worry about what?
Song Guanzhou watched the dusk sink to the west. Stars were twinkling in the dark blue sky. He couldn't help but have a bad idea. He pretended to be mysterious and said to the others, "Second sister-in-law is most afraid of me! After Aunt Fang and her servants who served father jumped into the well, no one dared to go down to the small well, so I went down and brought it up."
"what--"
Several people were stunned for a moment. Xiao Bei and Xu Lingbai didn't quite understand, but Qi Yueniang knew how horrifying what Song Guanzhou had experienced was.
Xu Lingqiao asked in a low voice, "So... was he rescued?"
Song Guanzhou nodded, then shook his head. "Madam Fang was still breathing after being rescued, but she died after two days. As for her maid Jinzhu, she was dead when I went down, and I dragged her body up—"
"what!"
Xu Lingqiao was timid. When she heard this, she covered her eyes with a scarf and screamed in a low voice. Zhang Fanghui glanced at her husband. The couple were stunned. Xu Lingbai coughed awkwardly, "Guan Zhou, aren't you afraid?"
"When I first went down, I was only thinking about saving people, so I wasn't afraid." Song Guanzhou recalled, and said helplessly, "But Aunt Fang didn't touch it, she touched the floating golden bead first, and it was really cold and scared me."
Float?
Even the brave Xiao Bei and Xu Lingbai got goosebumps.
When joking around, Song Guanzhou told a ghost story, and Qi Yueniang held her forehead and said, "Don't scare Ling Qiao and your cousin Fanghui..."
"Sister-in-law, may I ask if what Guan Zhou said is true?"
Qi Yueniang had not returned home at that time, but she found out later. Rendong was beside them pouring tea and water, nodding to confirm, "Cousin, what the young lady said is true. The well is so big and small that no man can get down. Saving lives is the most important thing. The young lady didn't care that the water was cold, she tied a rope and went down."
"Guan Zhou, I heard that you can swim and saved several children, but I didn't expect you could do such a feat."
Song Guanzhou thought of Aunt Fang's charming and gentle smile and felt sorry. She waved her hands and said, "She couldn't be saved. Jinzhu drowned at that time. Aunt Fang had wounds on her body. The spring well water was cold, and she got an ulcer and died."
Human life is cheap. Song Guanzhou recalled it as if it happened yesterday.
She leaned back in her chair, her eyes somewhat dazed, and she couldn't help but sigh, "...If I go down earlier, maybe I can rescue the master and servant. If Jinzhu doesn't die, I'm afraid Aunt Fang will be able to hold on."
Maybe I'll get through it...
It was a really heavy topic. When Mrs. Meng and her partner entered the room carrying delicate bamboo baskets with lids, they saw that the awning under the flower stand had been removed. The evening breeze was blowing gently, and rose petals were falling. The cousin, the two young ladies, and the two cousins were all there, but they didn't speak. Only the tea in the stove not far away was boiling.
Honeysuckle went forward and Mrs. Meng handed her a bamboo basket.
"It was Jin Fuyun who invited the Fourth Young Master to leave!"
It was like a thunderclap, quietly exploding in Honeysuckle's ears.
