Chapter 1397
Seeing this, Pan happy realized that it was Yu, the steward.
Knowing that Yu Cheng held an extraordinary position in Jin Fuyun's heart, she bowed her head and reported, "The eldest young lady is in the tea shop in Xifang City. Someone saw the Pei family women coming through the city, and the young master and several young men from the second branch of the family were riding horses and following the carriage. They are probably going out of the city."
Upon hearing this, Yu Cheng waved his hand and said, "I'll go in and talk to you myself."
Panxi dared not leave without permission. Yu Cheng turned around, his eyes cold. "What is it?" Panxi was disobedient. She quickly bowed. "I will wait in that pavilion. If the young lady needs me, please ask Steward Yu to call me."
Lately, Jin Fuyun seems to have become a different person. Since exchanging marriage certificates with Prince Yong Hejiang, everyone in the princess's villa has been on edge for three days, trying their best to guard their own little plot of land and make sure nothing goes wrong.
There's a saying that if the people and livestock in the household are safe and sound for three days, and no one is injured or suddenly dies, it proves that the marriage is very auspicious.
Jin Fuyun had thought of a solution, but without Yu Cheng, her group of old women and maids were utterly useless. She sent a few people, but before any tragic incidents occurred in the livestock pens, they heard Jiang Shi enter the house.
She sold an old woman.
“Sister, don’t blame your sister-in-law for being heartless. This reckless servant is trying to ruin your good marriage. This is absolutely unacceptable.”
Just as Jin Fuyun was about to slam her hand on the table and stand up, the old woman behind Jiang suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Young lady, please don't blame the young mistress. This old servant took care of it personally, so there won't be any trouble." Qing Sangu was the most capable servant in the princess's service.
She was also Jin Fuyun's wet nurse.
She was taken aback and looked up. "I had no idea the wet nurse had come."
Qing Sangu smiled faintly, "This old servant also cannot leave the princess, but the princess is worried about the eldest daughter, so she changed her mind after the dowry procession left and let this old servant follow."
Although she was a maidservant in the service of Princess Hong'an, she was skilled in riding and archery, and managed to ride to the capital in three to five days.
Therefore, Yu Cheng was unaware.
Jin Fuyun was unaware of this, but she suddenly understood her mother's meaning. Qing Sangu was forty-five or forty-six years old. She stepped forward, observed the rules and etiquette, and replied humbly.
"The princess has decreed that the eldest daughter's marriage is of paramount importance, and no one is allowed to interfere with this marriage."
otherwise--
Don't talk about killing.
Jin Fuyun stared blankly at Qing Sangu, muttering to herself, "Mother... why?" In the third life, no! In this fourth life, her mother still stood on her father's side. When the father and daughter disagreed, Princess Hong'an abandoned her without hesitation and sided with her father.
The fourth incarnation was the same.
"Young lady, don't misunderstand. The princess is most worried about you, and everything she does is for you."
hypocritical!
Jin Fuyun's long fingernails dug into her palm, the pain forcing her to wake up. "Mother insisted on obeying Father and selling me into the royal family?"
Jiang looked embarrassed and fidgeted.
However, Aunt Qing spoke calmly, unaffected by Jin Fuyun's suppressed anger. Instead, she leaned closer to Jin Fuyun and whispered, "The princess is knowledgeable and experienced. Aunt, you can always be right to listen to the princess."
Jiang stood up and offered a fake smile to defuse the situation.
"It must be that the subordinates were foolish and were probably bribed by thieves outside, which is why they had the intention to harm people. Fortunately, Auntie arrived in time, and everything is safe and sound."
Three days later, the dust settled.
Qing Sangu usually doesn't stay with Jin Fuyun; she serves Jiang Shi instead. Jin Fuyun doesn't speak up, and Qing Sangu doesn't come to visit on her own initiative. But Jin Fuyun knows how much her mother values He Jiang and this marriage.
When Yu Cheng returned, she scolded him for a long time. Yu Cheng knelt before her, head bowed, letting Jin Fuyun beat and scold him. Jin Fuyun's temper was completely unrestrained with him, so there was no way she would treat Panxi and Panlan any better.
It will only get worse.
Therefore, the two of them served with even greater caution, having to keep their master's secrets from them while also being able to come to their side immediately when their master called them.
Otherwise, they would either beat or scold you, making you kneel from before dark until dawn, making life increasingly difficult.
Yu Cheng gave Panxi a deep look. Panxi dared not look him in the eye and bowed as she retreated into the pavilion. Yu Cheng lifted his robe and went inside. Not long after, Panlan came out from inside.
They carefully closed the door from the outside before tiptoeing into the pavilion. The two sisters' eyes met, and they both sighed.
"Did he insult you again?"
Panxi asked in a low voice, and Panlan gently wiped the corner of her eye with a handkerchief, "What should we do? I can't live like this anymore."
Jin Fuyun's methods of beating, scolding, and punishing were crude and crude.
Perhaps because no one in the courtyard dared to resist, Panlan wiped away her tears, feeling even more aggrieved, "If you had this thought so early on, why didn't you beg to enter the Duke's mansion as a concubine? It caused my sister and me to be kicked out..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Ignoring everything else, Panlan whispered what was on her mind. Panxi was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and rushed forward to cover Panlan's mouth. "If you want to die, go jump into a well or a river yourself. Don't talk nonsense here!"
"Don't you think this makes sense, little sister?"
Panlan lowered her voice, unable to suppress the pain in her heart any longer, and tears streamed down her face. "Now that I'm going to be the Princess Consort of Yongjun, I don't feel like I want it. She's torturing us servants to the point of exhaustion. The Empress Dowager has already spoken, what room is there for maneuver?"
What were you doing all this time?!
"elder sister!"
Panxi held her close, comforting her while keeping an eye on the tightly closed door of the main room.
"There is no turning back now."
Yes!
The young woman held the indentures for the two men and their families. What could they do? The two looked at each other, tears streaming down their faces, while still keeping an eye on the door not far away.
"Why don't we ask the Fourth Young Master?"
Panlan suddenly stood up. Panxi, her eyes glazed over, grabbed Panlan and pulled her back down. "Are you crazy! You can't have such thoughts. If that's the case, it's better to do what I told you before: risk everything to win the young lady's heart and set my sisters and family free. Then, once we leave this capital, where can't we find a good life?"
How can I help?
"I'll follow the young lady's arrangements."
The two remained silent, and they dared not disobey any of Jin Fuyun's orders.
Inside the room, Yu Cheng brought in Pan Xi's letter. Jin Fuyun listened without showing any emotion. She bent over her desk and wrote in small regular script. Yu Cheng didn't need to look at her to know that she had beautiful handwriting.
"Ah Cheng, things have developed to this point, which is quite a miscalculation."
Yu Cheng lowered his head, "Just give the order, Miss. I will do my utmost to serve you." Unexpectedly, Jin Fuyun smiled after hearing this, "Ah Cheng, I can no longer tolerate you taking people to do this today."
"Please give your orders, young lady!"
"I know you have some skills. Let's find another opportunity to finish off Song Guanzhou today."
"today?"
Yu Cheng suddenly looked up. "Young lady, isn't this a bit too hasty?"
"No! This is a rare opportunity..."
The betrothal process was proceeding at breakneck speed, and the marriage was expected to take place in the golden autumn. She couldn't find a single clue about Prince Yong, yet the marriage was being pushed forward relentlessly.
She's going crazy!
