Lin Shan nodded, "It should be very good. During this period, I also met the Third Young Master."
"That must be a good thing. Did the third brother say he wanted to come back?"
After hearing Pei Che's letter, Lin Shan showed a little regret, "Lin Chuan didn't say much, but I guess he wouldn't."
Xiao Cang frowned slightly, "Do you know where the third cousin is?"
Lin Shan shook his head, "Now the Third Young Master has become a monk, traveling around the world, his whereabouts are unknown." Hearing this, Song Guanzhou sighed, "Just like my brother, he hasn't received any letters until now."
When Xiao Cang heard this, his face was filled with disbelief.
"No letter?"
Song Guanzhou shook his head, "My brother and I had a fierce quarrel back then, and he was also hurt by me."
Xiao Cang tilted his head, looking a little puzzled, "There is no such thing as a redundant relationship among blood relatives. Even if I am angry with you, I will never dare to stop communicating like this."
Lin Shan sighed, "Don't worry, Madam. I will send someone to follow the lead to inquire about the situation in Qiongzhou."
Song Guanzhou nodded slightly, suppressing his worry.
Two days later, Xiao Cang finally did not wait for the master to enter the house, so he could only lead the team to leave first. In the meantime, Pei An met with Xiao Jin privately, and Xiao Jin bowed and saluted, "Don't worry, Fourth Master, everything has been arranged."
"That's good. The future will be better than before. If you teach him well, he will surely become a talent."
Xiao Jin nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Fourth Young Master. Don't worry. This child is sharp-minded and intelligent. It would be better for me to leave him with my wife and teach him as a young son than for the two of us to be over fifty years old and have no children."
Pei An nodded, "The past is not worth remembering anymore, it all depends on the child's future luck."
Xiao Jin thanked him with a bow, and after a moment's pause, he asked in a low voice, "The only thing that this kid is worried about is his brother. In the future--"
"Need not!"
Pei An raised his hand and interrupted Xiao Jinzhi, "Uncle Jin, his elder brother is the child of you and aunt before, there is no one else."
Xiao Jin listened with regret, "Silang, to be honest, I was thinking about settling down in the future, in three to five years, so that the brothers can meet each other..."
Pei An decisively refused.
"Uncle Jin, don't be soft-hearted. Go back and explain it to the child. His brother is a good man, but he is only good in his heart. Going against the imperial power and the court will inevitably bring disaster to you two elders and even the Xiao family. If this bastard doesn't understand, I will find another place to settle him down."
Xiao Jin quickly explained, "He is smart and perceptive. I will talk to him about it later. Silang, you are right. Don't worry."
"The emperor has never liked my Zhenguo Mansion... and the Xiao Mansion."
Xiao Jin is an old man, and he understood everything when Pei An mentioned it lightly. Thinking of the second young lady in the past and Empress Xiao in the future, he finally let out a long sigh.
"All these years have passed, and His Majesty seems to have never turned the page."
"The throne is lonely, and I'm afraid it will be harder to get over it as I get older." Pei An stopped there and didn't say any more. If Empress Xiao had not entered the emperor's harem, even if she had given birth to children for the emperor, she would have eventually become an unknown beauties in the harem.
pity--
Madam Xiao is dead.
She died when the emperor loved her the most. At that time, when the emperor had just walked through the bloody road of brotherly slaughter to the throne that looked down on the world, Empress Xiao died.
Later, many young and beautiful girls came into the harem.
When they looked up at their emperor husbands, they found that this emperor had a heart as cold as iron and they could only kneel down and admire them forever.
His occasional warmth is just a little spice in the emperor's life.
The pillars of the court are more favored by the emperor than any favorite concubine.
So, Empress Xiao is the only one.
She died at the best time, in a very tragic way. It was heard that the Queen Mother had sent people to stop the poisoned wine. If only Empress Xiao could delay it for a while, the Queen Mother could save this legendary woman.
But she did not struggle, hesitate, cry out for justice, or expect anyone to rescue her.
The Queen had never run so disrespectfully in her life. She held her phoenix-like long skirt in her hands, broke through numerous obstacles, and ran wildly in the deep palace.
When they arrived at Empress Xiao's palace gate, the woman with the fallen phoenix feather slowly fell to the ground.
The Queen Mother had no idea that she was pregnant. When she came here, she suffered from heavy bleeding, and her child, who was less than three months old, passed away along with the other women in the palace.
From then on, apart from court affairs, the Queen was the only one who could receive the favor of the Emperor. Therefore, the Queen never became pregnant again. Fortunately, the prince she gave birth to grew up healthily and was enthroned in the Eastern Palace.
Until a certain age, the old clam will give birth to a pearl.
The tenth prince was born, Liu Xian.
The reason for this is that the Queen sincerely wanted to save her husband's beloved woman, but unfortunately -
She couldn't escape the Empress Dowager's order.
Pei An now brought up the old matter again, and Xiao Jin, as an elder of the Xiao family, understood it very well.
"Silang, don't worry. I know that the Xiao family has now retreated to Jiangzhou, and they are not safe. We still need to be prepared for danger and be careful at all times."
We can't let things get ruined because of a kid.
After all, this child is the descendant of a criminal.
After Xiao Jin made repeated assurances, Pei An said no more. After bidding farewell to Xiao Cang, the mansion welcomed Pei Jian, the Duke of Zhenguo, whom they had not seen for several months.
The young men who were waiting at the city gate in the mansion received the news of Pei Jian's arrival and sent people on horseback to come. Everyone in the mansion, including Pei Chen's concubines, with their children, waited at the gate of the mansion, awaiting the return of their master.
This was the first time Song Guanzhou had seen the two of them since Pei Chen and his wife had a fight.
As soon as they met, Song Guanzhou couldn't help himself. There was an oval blood scab on Pei Chen's right cheek. It didn't look like he was scratched, but rather like he was bitten.
As for the other half of the face and neck, there were countless scratches.
Looking at Xiao Yinxiu again, her already sallow face now had several more red and swollen spots, which could not be hidden even with makeup.
Standing in the crowd, he stood out.
Pei Jian's carriage arrived in front of the mansion. As soon as he got off the car, the old man exclaimed and was the first to see the "results" on his second son's face.
When he wanted to ask some questions, he also saw the clues from the face of his second daughter-in-law who was hiding behind him.
Needless to say, the couple had a quarrel.
The doorway was not a good place to teach a son a lesson. After the father and son and the father-in-law and the daughter-in-law greeted each other, the men escorted Pei Jian into the mansion. Song Guanzhou and Qi Yueniang walked behind. "Sister-in-law, why is it so serious?"
Ok?
Qi Yueniang pinched Song Guanzhou's arm through her sleeve and said, "We'll talk about it later, you naughty monkey."
Don't bring up things that are not related to the topic. Didn't you see that Xiao Yinxiu looked extremely unhappy? After all, her appearance was the least advantageous among the three daughters-in-law. But she was always sulking and couldn't get along with herself and others. Her face was full of liver qi stagnation and was sallow and shriveled.
Not to mention that she was obviously inferior to the more beautiful Song Guanzhou when standing next to him, even in front of Qi Yueniang, who was a few years older than her, she looked ten years older.
How to not be angry?
