Chapter 72
After struggling for a night, Fu Rong couldn't sleep soundly and had a lot of dreams.
When I woke up, my headache was broken.
Look outside, it's not dawn yet.
Fu Rong closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.
Finally, I broke off a relationship with Xu Jin, but there are hidden dangers.
Xu Jin will definitely not help his father deal with the matter of going to Beijing at the end of the year, and Fu Rong doesn't expect it, but will he turn the tables on the ground and secretly make his father unable to even be the prefect of Jizhou? He also arranged the official positions of Liang Tong and his brother. Will he find an opportunity to withdraw? And what about Wu Baiqi? It's not easy for Fu Rong to feel at ease without a certain letter.
As expected, plans are not as good as changes, and nothing is unchanging.
But Fu Rong didn't have to worry too long. She would work hard to get what she wanted in the best of her ability. She would not worry too much if she was not under her control. Moreover, Fu Rong vaguely felt that Xu Jin could only stumbling on her father's promotion and would not be the other side. After all, Xu Jin liked her a little, except for those men he thought she might like. Therefore, the worst result was that his father would not be able to enter Beijing by the end of the year...
Don’t think about anything for now, let’s see the situation at the end of the year.
Fu Rong rubbed her forehead and heard something moving beside the pillow. She smiled and saw Tuantuan woke up at some point, looking at her with her black eyes as big as beans.
Fu Rong turned around and placed his fingers on the edge of the cage.
Tuantuan came to peck at him, it didn't hurt or itchy.
Fu Rong deliberately moved his finger aside and jumped and chased after her, as if her fingers were delicious. Fu Rong kept teasing it like this, and suddenly stopped moving after a while. He tilted his neck and looked at Fu Rong, and shouted mutely: "It looks good!"
Fu Rong was stunned.
Tuantuan immediately jumped forward and pecked.
Fu Rong didn't continue to make trouble with it. Somehow, she heard Tuantuan say it looked good. She thought of the night when Xu Jin sat in front of the bed and mentioned that she wanted to send her parrot. That night was also a rare time when Xu Jin did not touch her. She first promised to send the parrot and then a box of pearls.
Once so gentle and slight...
Did Xu Jin really decide to break it?
Fu Rong was suddenly not sure. He was only happy last night. Now thinking about it, Xu Jin's anger was unreasonable this time. Is it possible that Xu Jin was just jealous and said harsh words to her. After a few days, he regretted it and continued to come to find her? Just like at the beginning of the year, he also said that he would not come to find her again, but he appeared again when Xu Xi of the County Prince's Mansion was born...
If so, she would no longer have to worry about the future of her relatives, but...
She was so angry that she could come back to her, and she probably wouldn't be able to get rid of Xu Jin again.
Compared with the two, each has its pros and cons, and Fu Rong could not tell which one brought greater benefits.
Without any sleepiness, Fu Rong lifted the quilt and sat up.
Everything is speculation, but the same thing is said. Let’s take a look. If the soldiers come to block the water and the soil, nothing can be solved.
Comfortable and stretched, Fu Rong called Lanxiang and others to come in to serve.
Today is the last day for their mother and daughter to stay in the capital, and they will set off to return to Jizhou tomorrow morning.
Before parting, of course, I had to do face-saving work. In the morning, the mother and daughter went to Wufutang to have dinner with the old lady.
Fu Bao had arrived early. When she saw Fu Rong coming in, she excitedly pulled Fu Rong to sit next to her, blocking her hands and whispered: "Three sisters, I'll tell you a good news. Last night, my father went to Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion to ask for an explanation. Mr. Wu learned that his grandson bullied us, so he ordered someone to press Wu Baiqi on the stool. He personally beat ten boards and punished Wu Baiqi for three months in custody!"
Fu Rong was overjoyed. Mr. Wu was not ruthless to his grandson and said that he would definitely be locked up after being locked in the house for three months. Then Wu Baiqi is at least not dangerous for the next three months. After three months, Xu Jin probably forgot about him, right?
She was happy, and the smile on the corner of her mouth looked like she was gloating, "I deserve it, I deserve it!"
When the old lady heard the words, she advised with great sincerity: "What are you two whispering about? Wu Baiqi is wrong, but if you stay in the garden and don't join in the fun, Wu Baiqi will be on you? Especially Rong Yatou, you are good-looking and it is easiest to call those young men to target them. In the future, you must be careful and careful when you go out to avoid losing."
It seemed as if she had brought it to her own fault.
Fu Rong was too lazy to be angry with the old lady when she was separated. She was about to act obediently and Fu Bao pouted, "It's not just us, but my cousin went there too. I left faster than us." Chen Qing lived in the capital since she was a child and had good friends in the capital. Fu Bao remembered clearly that Chen Qing and those girls were the first to go to the lakeside.
Chen Qing bit her lip awkwardly when she heard this.
The old lady's face sank.
Lin quickly smoothed out: "Don't be angry, mother, the little girls are always fun to be together. Now that we have suffered, we don't need to discipline them, they will definitely remember the lessons themselves. Do you think so?" The last sentence was to ask Fu Rong and the girls.
Fu Rong led the leader to stand up and admit his mistake to the old lady: "Don't worry, grandmother, remember it, and you will never make any more mistakes in the future."
Fu Bao, Chen Qing and others also admitted their mistakes, with Fu Mi exception. She did not go to the Duke Qingguo Mansion yesterday, so naturally there is no need to apologize now. She stood quietly beside the third lady, silently watching the sisters at home being scolded and apologized. The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, and she quickly restrained her body when the old lady changed the topic.
Because she has never been noticed, no one noticed her abnormality.
After leaving Wufutang, Qiao took her two daughters back to the East Courtyard to pack her luggage. After so long she had been away from home, she wanted to grow wings and fly home all at once to see if her baby son has gained weight and see how her eldest daughter’s dowry is embroidered. The most important thing is whether her handsome and concerned husband has stolen food. If she trusts her, she will inevitably worry.
But there are also things she can't let go of in the capital.
At dusk, Fu Chen and Liang Tong came over together. Fu Chen looked ugly. When he entered the main hall, he asked Fu Rong: "Why didn't you tell me when someone was bullied yesterday?" My sister was most afraid of black bugs, so she must have been scared to tears at that time.
Fu Rong suddenly felt very sympathetic to Wu Baiqi, and I don’t know why he was eyeing her. The family is not happy with him now. In the future, he wants to marry his sister and he will have to pass five levels and six generals.
Although Wu Baiqi deserves it, Fu Rong couldn't help but want to help him, and said deliberately indifferently: "Brother, don't be angry. He just bluffed and didn't really throw the insects on me. Instead, Xuan Xuan beat him with a stone. I heard that his grandfather had punished him last night. Brother, don't do anything else, don't let us go uneasy."
Qiao was also worried about this and persuaded him softly.
Fu Chen looked at his mother and sister and suddenly smiled: "Since you said that, I will let him go, and we will settle the score together next time."
Qiao nodded with relief. She had been in Beijing for so long, and her son had become much more calm.
Fu Rong didn't take his brother's words seriously, looked at him suspiciously, and secretly made a frustrated Wu Baiqi. Fortunately, his brother was reasonable and at most he beat Wu Baiqi. He was not as extreme as Xu Jin. He was used to being a prince, so he would fight and kill him if he had a little mistake.
The whole family talked for a while and went to the main courtyard to attend the banquet together, which was considered a practice before leaving.
And there are also people in the Duke of Qingguo’s Mansion discussing going home.
In the magnificent bedroom, there was only mother and daughter. Princess Yongning, who was over 50 years old but still had black hair, leaned on the couch and looked at her little daughter reluctantly: "Why are you going back in such a hurry? It's rare to come once, stay for a few more days." Jizhou is not far from the capital, but after all, it took several days to drive, and her daughter can't go back to her parents' home several times a year, so she thought ruthlessly.
The princess smiled bitterly, and while pounding her mother's legs, she said, "My daughter is married, so you can't live in her parents' home all the time."
Princess Yongning looked at her beloved daughter carefully and frowned and said, "Look at you, you have lost weight again. What happened to the family? Did the prince take a concubine? Or was he worried about Yunsheng's marriage?"
The princess' expression changed slightly, afraid that his mother would tell her that she was worried, so she lowered her eyes and said, "The prince has no one else. Don't think about it. It's Yun Sheng. That child is seventeen this year. He mentioned marriages several times. He even said he didn't want to marry him. The prince spoiled him, so I was in vain."
Princess Yongning nodded, thought of the third girl of the Fu family, and snorted: "Did he fall in love with the girl in the second house of the Marquis of Jingyang?"
The princess of the county said: "I didn't see it before, but now I look at it, it seems to be."
"What do you think?"
The princess thought for a moment and hesitated: "Actually, that girl is not only of her low-class background, but also has a good appearance and temperament..."
"Come on." Princess Yongning interrupted her with a sneer, "Look at her vixen's face. If Yun Sheng really marrys her, he will definitely hold it in his hand. From now on, there is only a wife without a mother and a temperament. She is pretending to be good-looking. How can she get into your eyes? It's like when she appeared by the lake yesterday. Maybe she was deliberately pretending to be pitiful. A bug, as for fear like that? She had a good plan. There were so many noble men by the lake, and any one of them saved her. She was all climbing up the branches, but unfortunately she was disturbed by her sister."
The princess of the county heard that her mother was disliked by Fu Rong, and her words just now made some sense, so she said, "My daughter understands and will persuade Yunsheng. My mother is in the capital, so I should pay more attention to Yunsheng. I will be at ease by deciding the marriage as soon as possible."
Speaking of this, Princess Yongning couldn't help but say angrily: "How many good candidates do I have? Haven't they all been rejected by Yun Sheng's father? Humph, I know he doesn't like me. If it weren't for your approval back then, I wouldn't have agreed to the emperor's matchmaking and marry you so far!"
The princess of the county did not answer the conversation.
When she was young, Xu Yaocheng was tall and handsome, and was the prince of the Prince's Mansion. How could she not like him?
Princess Yongning waved her helplessly when she saw her showing a memory: "Forget it, I don't care about your husband and wife's affairs. It's getting late, go back to bed, and you will get up early tomorrow and leave Beijing."
The princess responded softly, got up and walked out, walked to the door, and stopped again before leaving the house.
Princess Yongning looked at her daughter's back in confusion. Just as she was about to ask, the princess of the county suddenly broke back and threw herself into her mother's arms and cried bitterly.
Princess Yongning was startled and bowed her head in disbelief.
Her daughter is the most proud. She has suffered so many grievances since she was a child, and she has never cried. Now she is like this...
Seeing that his daughter was crying and her shoulders were trembling, Princess Yongning was about to break her heart, and she hugged someone to coax her: "My heart, what's wrong with you? Tell me, I'm going to make the decision for you. You just cry and don't talk, and you are trying to be anxious to death, right?"
No matter what she said, the princess of the county just cried.
Princess Yongning had no choice but to wait for her daughter to calm down.
The princess cried for a quarter of an hour before stopping sobs. She wiped her tears, slowly raised her head, and said in a hoarse voice in her mother's anxious gaze: "Mom, I suspect he has raised someone outside. He keeps his eyes on me. He knows what I send someone to do. I can't check it myself. Mom, please send two confidants to write to him and stare at him for me. I must find that bastard! "
Princess Yongning heard this and her face was cold. She looked at her daughter and did not ask why she suddenly had such suspicion. She just said, "Okay, mom, I'll help you find it. I've really found it. What are you going to do?"
The princess of the county lowered her head and smiled, her voice was as weak as the woman had just cried, but the words she said made people feel cold all over her body.
