Speaking of this, Jin Fuyun nodded slightly, then shook his head, "Twenty-seven days is only a month, too short. The marriage is scheduled for October 8, which is a date favored by Master Huijue. Even if it is delayed to winter, it will be of no use to me."
"No, young lady, you are the descendant of a princess and a member of the royal family. Not to mention He Jiang, he is a prince personally appointed by the royal family. During the period of the Qin King's mourning, the royal family members had to mourn for three months. There are precedents for this, such as when Princess Zhuang's father passed away, it was also the same."
"Three months!"
Jin Fuyun was certain in her heart, "In three months, too many things can happen. It's really hard to say about the marriage."
Even if we take a step back, she will still get married in three months. Jin Fuyun tilted her head and pondered, "In three months, I don't believe that we can't solve the problem of Song's family and Jin Chun'er."
She let out a breath and helped Xia Hua up from his kneeling position.
"Good girl, you are really smart." After saying that, she took out the hairpin that had just been inserted in her hair and gently pinned it on the double buns painted on her head. "This is a reward for you. Keep quiet about this and don't tell anyone."
Miaohua knelt down and whispered, "Don't worry, young lady. I can share your worries, so my life is not in vain."
The next thing that happened was that Huahua was kicked out.
When the secretary came up to her and saw her swollen face, he knew that the girl was not strong enough to hit him like that, "Did the second brother hit you again?"
"It's for my own good. If I had said something wrong in front of the girl, it wouldn't have been just a slap."
The two of them understood what was going on. Miao Hua turned around and pursed her lips, "That dead girl is still crying?" After Pan Xi came back in a daze, she hurriedly paid her respects to the eldest girl and then hid in her own little room, weeping.
She cried all night until dawn, and just now went to ask, the mansion wants her to go back and be a concubine, is she willing?
I was scared and cried again.
"Is there any use in crying all day long?" Miaohua curled her lips in disdain. The servant shook her head, also disdainful. "If I had gone there yesterday, I would have given medicine to Song. She was so timid and could not accomplish anything. She was almost seen by Pei Si's servant——"
She was in disguise and happened to be passing by, so she raised the wooden ladle in her hand and gave the boy a heavy blow.
"It's a pity that the success fell short."
The two came from the fishing village and had followed Qiao Wan for many years. They were also violent. "It was just a weak young lady. If you really beat her to death, you and I would escape and wander around the world for three to five years. We would change our identities and find a man to marry. Even the gods and the gods would not be able to find us."
"Forget it, the eldest lady and the second brother have their own arrangements."
The two were indignant and complained about Yu Cheng's stupidity. "For a man like him, the young lady had to spend so much gold and silver to redeem him, and he even lost an eye—"
Pan Xi washed herself and was about to come to Jin Fuyun to beg for mercy, to be allowed to shave her head and become a nun, thus severing her worldly ties. But she never expected to hear those words.
These words are not a secret, Pan Xi knows them all.
But she was reminded again that it was impossible. She wanted to escape from the elder girl, but she was afraid that she would die. She knew that the elder girl had so many problems, so who could let her leave without worry?
What's more, the Fourth Young Master wants her back.
Become a concubine? How is that possible? She smiled bitterly. How could the Fourth Young Master like her? He just wanted to go back and interrogate her. What could she do now? She was just a little maid. Her whole family was in the hands of the young lady. Whether she lived or died depended on the young lady's mood.
Thinking of this, she tiptoed away.
She returned to the room, thought about it, and looked at Panlan's original bed. No maid dared to come in to sleep in it at this time. She looked over with tears in her eyes and vaguely saw the shadow of Panlan sitting there.
"Good girl, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death."
Pan Xi wiped away her tears and murmured, "How can I live?"
Unexpectedly, the sitting figure laughed, "Whatever you fear, it will come true. Just go for it. The eldest lady doesn't like you, so you might as well ask for a marriage. Live one day at a time."
Pan Xi covered her eyes and started crying.
"Sister, I really can't make it through the day. In this mansion, I am in danger of dying. Outside, my brother is drinking and gambling like others. The whole family is going to drive me to death."
Pan Xi was choking with sobs, and the looming shadow came up to her and supported her.
"Just stay alive. If you can't ask the eldest girl for help, go ask Qiao Wan."
what?
Pan Xi raised her head, "Sister..."
"Don't look at him. He is short and thick, plain-looking, but he is cruel and ruthless. Go to him and beg for mercy. You can live one day at a time. It's not easy to be a wandering ghost, my dear sister."
is it?
Pan Xixi seemed to have some hope. She wanted to ask more questions, but the shadow became fainter and fainter. After she wiped her tears, she realized that it was just her imagination.
I touched Panlan's bed. It was a hot autumn day, but the bed was hard and cold. It was not a place for a living person to stay...
But, live.

On the way back, Pei An rode his horse very fast. When he turned a corner, he almost collided with a small blue-topped cloth sedan that suddenly appeared in the alley.
In the dim light, he couldn't see clearly.
Just as he was about to ask why, the curtain of the sedan chair was half lifted, revealing a feminine and charming man's face, "Brother, could you please honor me with a cup of tea?"
Senior Brother——
Pei An did not refuse the title, but he did not accept it either. He sat comfortably on the saddle, looking down at the pale face of the man who did not like him. "It's getting dark, it's time to go back home and rest."
He and Song Youan had already settled the matter of money and goods, so there was no point in having further dealings with them.
Song Youan softened his voice, "Brother, I have something to ask of you." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Pei An riding his horse forward, and he immediately raised his voice, "Master asked me to seek your help, you look down on me, why don't you do it for Master's sake--"
Although dusk was approaching, this was the main street and people coming and going would look over from time to time. Pei An saw that he couldn't get away and asked unkindly, "Where are we going to eat?"
Seeing that his anger had softened, Song Youan was quite excited and said, "Senior Brother, it's in the teahouse owned by Xiao Zhoulang in front." Xiao Zhoulang?
Pei An frowned in displeasure, "Where? I've never heard of it."
A servant jumped out from the side of the sedan chair and pointed to a dark alley not far away. "Sir, I'll take you there." Pei An looked in the direction and saw a bean-sized light in the deep alley.
"Brother, I have no bad intentions."
Song Youan's words were full of pleading. Pei An didn't look at him for long. He rode his horse and followed the short servant into the darkness.
After receiving Song Youan's instructions, the sedan bearer immediately turned around and followed the horses inside.
Xiao Zhoulang Teahouse was already empty of customers. His wife, wearing an apron, was still preparing roasted food for the next day's sale. Seeing a handsome man riding a horse stopped at the door, she was stunned for a moment before she was about to greet the little man who came out from the horse's hoof, "Madam Kuan, are there any elegant seats upstairs?"
