Chapter 199
Alu wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally swallowed his words, "The Fourth Young Master has a high fever and is feeling very uncomfortable."
After running back and forth, fortunately, I entered the city when the city gate fell. When I arrived at the mansion, night had already fallen. The mansion had already been lit, but it was shrouded in fog, and everything was overlapping and difficult to see clearly.
As soon as I entered Shaohua Garden, Aunt Chu and Shuangyue came to the door at the right time to ask for a meeting.
Song Guanzhou had been busy all day and had stayed in Aiqi Town for a long time. He was so tired that he had difficulty raising his hands.
Before she entered the Fang family, she had asked Lin Shan to capture the Fang family's maid and bring her to her, and bribed her with a large sum of money to make her tell everything. On the way back, the carriage was bumpy, and she was in a bad mood. In addition, she had not eaten anything for a day, and she was actually carsick at the end.
Before entering the city gate, I had already vomited everything in my stomach.
When he returned to the room and took a closer look under the lamp, he found that his face was pale.
She said weakly, "Let's send Honeysuckle away!" What was there to talk about? It had to be said in the middle of the night. Song Guanzhou walked with a floating gait, feeling drowsy.
Seeing this, Honeysuckle was heartbroken.
So she came out and refused Aunt Chu and Shuangyue, "Young Madam has just returned from the mansion, and is tired. She is now hungry and exhausted. It would be better if she feels better tomorrow and then goes to look for the Madam of the Crown Prince."
Aunt Chu smiled coldly, "Young Madam, I'm afraid you've gone out and got into trouble, right? It's really helpless. It was the Young Madam who advocated the revision of the family rules, but now she doesn't follow them. It makes it difficult for our Madam to intervene or not intervene. She is in a difficult position."
Honeysuckle was slightly stunned. "What are you talking about, aunt? How did my young mistress violate the family rules?"
Aunt Chu wanted to say more, but Shuangyue beside her gently stopped her and said with a smile, "Sister Dong, you used to serve the prince's wife, so you know the strict rules in the mansion. The family rules also clearly state that the women of the two families should report to the head of the house when entering and leaving the mansion. It's not that I want to embarrass the young lady, but today the prince's wife organized a small banquet, and when she came to invite the young lady, she realized that she was disappointed. The elders of the two mansions were waiting for the young lady--"
in this way?
Ren Dong was stunned, and called Lianhua to ask about the banquet. Lianhua looked puzzled, "I don't know when Sister Shuangyue came to Shaohua Garden. I have never seen her."
Shuang Yue's face froze. "When I came, Shao Hua Garden was empty. I called a few times but no one responded. I asked the doorman, and he said that the young mistress had asked for a carriage and left early in the morning."
Lotus's little face shook like a rattle, "Sister Shuangyue, I have been guarding in the courtyard today because I am afraid that something might happen in the mansion, but I really haven't--"
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Chu raised her hand and slapped her.
"How dare you, a servant girl, to say such nonsense! Tell the young mistress quickly, and explain it to the wife of the prince clearly. Do not let the family rules become a joke."
Honeysuckle took a half step forward and stood in front of Lotus, suppressing her anger.
"Auntie, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. The young lady went out today, but she told the master about it. It was just that she was in a hurry and neglected to tell the wife of the prince..."
Aunt Chu immediately seized the opportunity and scolded her harshly.
"Since the young lady knows about this, it wouldn't be a big deal for her to go to our lady's place."
"Aunt, the young lady has been busy all day. Longen Temple is a long way from the mountain. She is tired now and can't get up. Please give our young lady a day. I will definitely go to the prince's wife tomorrow to explain everything clearly."
Having said this, Aunt Chu still wanted to shout loudly to disturb the peace in Shaohua Garden, but Shuangyue was sharp-eyed and saw Linshan, who seldom entered the inner courtyard, step into the courtyard gate.
She pulled Aunt Chu and said, "Okay, Sister Lao, tell the young lady that there are only women in the room today. If we don't know where the young lady is, I'm afraid others will find fault with her."
Hearing this, Lin Shan came forward and said, "What are you talking about? Aren't we talking about the Duke's Mansion and Mr. Xiao's women today? They are all relatives. How can there be any talk?"
Shuangyue hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.
To say that the women of the Duke's Mansion are too talkative is to slap the Crown Prince's wife in the face. If the women of the Xiao family are gossiping, then it is the Crown Prince's wife's family, and they are even more involved...
"Linshan, how did you get into the inner courtyard?"
Aunt Chu sneered, "The Fourth Young Master is not here, and you, a worker outside, are actually disregarding the rules—"
Lin Shan narrowed his eyes, "You old fellow also knew that the Fourth Young Master was not here, and you took the opportunity to look for the Fourth Young Master's wife, didn't you? Well, come with me to the Master and Uncle Hai and explain it clearly!"
After saying that, he ignored the difference between men and women and grabbed Aunt Chu's wrist and dragged her out.
Aunt Chu screamed angrily, "You bastard, you're hurting me, let go!"
Lin Shan snorted and laughed, "Lin He, the one with no temper, is afraid of you, but I am not!" After saying that, he walked quickly and dragged Aunt Chu out of Shao Hua Garden in a few seconds. Shuang Yue saw this and hurriedly followed him, "Brother Lin Shan, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding!"
But Lin Shan seemed not to hear anything and walked straight towards Zhengxian Pavilion. Shuang Yue followed behind him, and her pleading showed no sign of easing up. However, at the corner, she ran into Prince Pei Chen who had just been informed.
Shuang Yue took a step forward and said, "Please, my aunt, please save me."
Pei Chen was puzzled, "What happened? Is your aunt seriously ill and dying?"
It can be said that Shuangyue asked the wrong person for help. Pei Chen had long been dissatisfied with the lackeys around Xiao Yinxiu. He looked at Linshan who stopped because of his appearance and smiled awkwardly, "Linshan, why are you back?"
Lin Shan hummed, "Have you finished kneeling in front of the ancestral tablets, my prince?"
Pei Chen's cheeks flushed red, "This... this is because my father is very angry--"
"In that case, why don't you follow me and pay your respects to the master?"
What?
Pei Chen stepped back subconsciously and almost fell down the stairs. He staggered a few steps and barely managed to steady himself. He waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no, I won't go. You go."
Linshan, wasn’t father released?
How come this evil spirit was called back again? He had caused trouble before the Qingming Festival and was punished by his father. Not only that, but his father also made him kneel before his ancestors for two hours every day.
Pei Chen was so miserable that he couldn't even hide from his old father, so how could he possibly get close to him? He rubbed the oil on the soles of his shoes and ran away.
Seeing this, Shuangyue looked at Linshan pitifully.
"Aunt is old and said something wrong. I beg Brother Linshan to forgive me this time."
Lin Shan sneered, "Aunt, you may have forgotten that your father, mother, brothers and sisters-in-law all died at the hands of me, Lin Shan..."
Oh my god!
Aunt Chu's body went limp and fell to the ground like a piece of boneless meat.
"you--"
"The wife of the Crown Prince has always been magnanimous, and the young lady has the master's approval. I think it must be you, the gossiping woman, who is taking advantage of the power of the tiger. So, I'll kill everyone in your Chu family, and I'm afraid of you? What a joke!"
Aunt Chu was shaking like a sieve, and whispered, "Young Madam has already violated the family rules--"
She wanted to look up, but met Lin Shan’s dark eyes. She shuddered all over, “You…you——”
