Chapter 541
Qiao Wan looked at the determination on the eldest girl's face and smiled knowingly, "Don't worry, eldest girl. I think Prince Yong will definitely not agree. The matter of concubines is just a bargaining chip. If you don't refuse a few times, how can you show the sincerity of the marriage between the two families?"
"Humph! Father, oh father, you really don't have any father-daughter love at all."
Jin Fuyun looked up to the sky and sighed, "Now that it's over, let's keep Pan Xi for now. When Pei An left, I begged for her life."
"The elder girl softened her heart after all."
Qiao Wan took a step back and said, "Let's wait and see whether the Huang family reports it to the authorities. If not, I will eliminate the trouble before you get married."
If you report it to the police, you can't keep him.
In this respect, Yu Cheng was not as good as Qiao Wan. Qiao Wan was ruthless and would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.
Jin Fuyun used to look down on Qiao Wan, thinking that his reckless character would lead to mistakes, but now she thinks he suits her taste very well. After all, there is fighting in the capital, and if she softens her heart, there will be endless troubles.
"Over there, Aunt Qing——"
"Just waiting for your words, young lady."
Jin Fuyun waved her hand, "Find a reason to send her back to Liyang. If someone dies again in the mansion, my father will probably come to the capital to punish me personally."
"This old hag is very difficult to deal with. Since you personally taught her a lesson last time, she has been sneaking around in the eldest young master's wife's courtyard and never shows up in front of you. To be honest, it's really not easy to see her."
Jin Fuyun drank some hot tea, calmed down her anger, and sneered, "She is just a slave. If you want to see her, I will send someone to call her."
No matter how useless she is, she is still the mistress of the Jin family.
"Miss, whether it's Qing Sangu or Pan Xi, they are all servants who are not worthy of being on the stage. In the end, it's still the Fourth Young Master's side. If you still insist on not changing your ways, you will definitely be dragged into the abyss by him."
When Jin Fuyun heard Qiao Wan mention Pei An who had just left, her face darkened, but the light in her heart was still there, and her dying breath dragged her body down.
Pei An, the goal of her life for four lifetimes!
"Shiro..."
"Young lady, don't be confused!" Qiao Wan stamped his feet anxiously. "I don't know how Yu Cheng indulged you before, but now you and the Fourth Master Pei have already been separated. It will be extremely difficult to get together again! Yesterday, Prince Yong protected Pan Xi and made it clear in front of the Fourth Master Pei that there must be no mistakes in your marriage."
"Of course, this marriage cannot be cancelled!"
Jin Fuyun raised her head, her brows furrowed, her eyes darkened, and the corners of her lips drooped on her chin, making it clear that she was disgusted and abhorred this marriage.
"But..., this marriage can be delayed."
Qiao Wan looked up suddenly, "Why delay? What are you planning to do, young lady?" Jin Fuyun called Miaohua in and combed her long hair. Qiao Wan lowered his head, not daring to look the girl in the eye.
But his ears pricked up, wanting to hear what the girl was planning.
"No, I'll just get sick."
Qiao Wan immediately shook his head, "Miss, you underestimate the urgency of this marriage. Not to mention that you are too sick to get out of bed, even if you are dying, as long as you have breath left, the Prince of Yong, the palace, or even the general will send you to the Prince of Yong's mansion in a sedan chair carried by eight people."
How could Jin Fuyun not know that!
Hearing this, her brows were knotted again, her face full of melancholy, "No matter how nice He Jiang is, I feel sick just by seeing him. When we met yesterday, he looked kind on the outside, but I knew he wasn't so easy to get along with inside."
"Dongqiao and Dongjun are at odds, and Prince Yong cannot remain indifferent."
Yes, he is the prince of Dongjun. The current monarch of Dongjun is He Jiang’s half brother, and he was also the culprit who drove him out of Dongjun in the first place. He was chased to Dongqiao with nowhere to hide. If it weren’t for the intervention of His Majesty, he would have died in a foreign country long ago.
"He is a king of a foreign race with no foundation. What on earth did father see in him?"
Jin Fuyun was puzzled, but after pretending to be sick failed, she only had a few dozen days left to think about the wedding date, "Let He Jiang get sick?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Wan waved his hands repeatedly.
"My dear lady, Prince Yong is as strong as an ox. Do you think he could fall ill for no reason? I have also thought about letting him fall off his horse, which is better than you marrying him. Anyway, the eldest son of the He family is gone, and if there is another Prince Yong, it means that your reputation will be worse... However, He Jiang grew up on horseback."
His fall from the horse was almost telling everyone that someone was trying to kill me.
Jin Fuyun held his forehead with one hand, feeling very overwhelmed.
"...This bastard, how come there is no flaw at all?" Looking at the girl's depressed mood, Miaohua suddenly had an idea. He looked at Qiao Wan and whispered, "Miss, I have a plan, but..."
Any ideas?
Jin Fuyun immediately raised his head and said, "Just tell me, I have never made things difficult for you in front of you."
"I am short-sighted and afraid I will say the wrong thing."
Qiao Wan snorted, "Tell me! The eldest lady even beat Qing Sangu for you two. Besides, if it weren't for the eldest lady, you two would have been sold to the ship long ago."
The boat girls in Mangzhou all do the same business as the rough fishermen. Those men are desperate criminals who will not be able to control their own life or death once they go into the sea. Before going out to sea, they will torture these boat girls to death once they get on the flower boats.
You can earn money but not spend it.
Miaohua was strong and dark-skinned, which was quite common in the capital, but on the beach of Mangzhou, for a few cents a time, he would like such a patient woman.
"Then let me ask you to forgive me if I have offended you."
"Just say it."
Jin Fuyun's eyes narrowed, and he urged her to hurry up. After thinking for a moment, he whispered, "This is the custom in my hometown. If a family member unfortunately passes away, the descendants must observe mourning for three years or one year. During this period, they cannot eat meat or get married."
"Asshole, you are cursing the general and the princess!"
Qiao Wan raised his hand and slapped Miaohua in the face, causing her to kneel on the ground immediately. She shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, no, I didn't curse the general and the prince." She was thick-skinned and used to being beaten. Even though her face was swollen, she didn't cry. She just looked up at Jin Fuyun, who had a gloomy expression.
"Miss, it's a national mourning!"
Jin Fuyun suddenly stood up and muttered to himself, "National mourning?" Then he dropped his head, "Your Majesty, ladies? No, no, no, no, this is a rebellious statement. Do you want my Jin family to be buried with you?"
When he was about to scold again, Qiao Wan's Ren and Du meridians were opened.
"My dear, although there are not many royal relatives, there are several old princes who are in seclusion. They are all uncles or great-uncles of the emperor. If——"
His face lit up, "Your Majesty now also emphasizes family ethics. The King of Qin passed away three years ago, and Your Majesty issued an order to follow the funeral rites of the previous emperor's brothers. Although the common people were not included, the people of the world still had to mourn for 27 days for the King of Qin."
What's the point of keeping those old guys in the clan?
