Chapter 309
Xu Lingqiao and Jiang walked into Jin Fuyun's courtyard hand in hand. Wang Qionglan and Zhang Fanghui followed with their maids. The two sisters-in-law held each other and followed them into this grand and elegant place.
Now Xu Lingqiao was no longer as destitute as a beggar, nor was she as timid and cautious as a maid. She changed into a fine brocade silk top and long skirt, and tied her hair into a bun. She smiled more generously than before.
She is truly a rare beauty!
Jiang was amazed at what she saw, and after entering the house, she said to Panxi, "Where is your eldest daughter? I brought a younger sister to see her, but is she still having a headache?"
Pan Xi stared at Xu Lingqiao blankly. When she first saw him, she was so scared that she took a step back.
Why does he look so similar to Song Guanzhou?
"Madam, my daughter is feeling better now. I'll go and report it first..." As she spoke, Pan Lan came over to greet her at the main door not far away, smiling, "Madam, my daughter wants to see you."
Xu Lingqiao followed Lianhua and when she passed by Panxi, she called out in a low voice, "Sister Panlan, Sister Panxi."
The two of them didn't want to show her a good face, but thinking of Jiang and Xu Lingqiao watching, they could only pretend to be familiar with her, "Sister Lianhua is a cousin, why is the young lady not here?"
Lianhua was not afraid of the two of them. "It has been raining recently and the stone steps are slippery. My young mistress accidentally fell down yesterday. The doctor said her leg was broken and she needs to rest well. That's why I can't come to your house these days. I want to personally thank the eldest young mistress and the eldest daughter."
The same words, I have been saying to everyone since I left the mansion, and now that I have entered the princess's villa, I am still saying...
Lianhua remembered Song Guanzhou's thoughtful advice and put it in a different light. The Jin family saved her cousin, which was a great favor. Don't be shy about talking. Even if it's a great thing, you have to tell everyone about it.
Along the way, the servants and guards beat drums and gongs, and set off red flowers and firecrackers.
Whenever someone asked, the team would stop and sing praises, saying that the Jin family was kind and generous...
Jin Yunfan saw this and had someone open the door. He personally welcomed everyone in. Xu Lingbai helped his sister get off the carriage. The two of them came to Jin Yunfan and were about to kowtow and bow. Jin Yunfan hurriedly held them back, "No, no, no! You absolutely can't do that..."
Xu Lingbai's eyes were filled with tears and he thanked him profusely.
Behind them, Xiao Du and his wife, Xiao Bei and his wife, and Xiao Cang, who was supporting Mu Er, also came over. Jin Yunfan was overjoyed, he never expected that the woman his wife casually rescued was actually a relative of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Someone was sent to report to Jin Fuyun. After Xiao Du and his companions hung red ornaments on the stone lions in front of the princess's house and set off firecrackers, they loudly reiterated the great kindness of the Jin family in front of the onlookers.
Linxi has a loud voice, and he said loudly, "My cousin left Beijing at the end of March. When she returned to Beijing to meet her cousin, she was unfortunately separated from her family. She was saved by the eldest son and mistress of the Jin family who came to Beijing, and was escorted to Beijing. Both the Song and Xu families will never forget this great favor." He also talked about how Jin Fuyun found a mentor for the fourth son of the Pei family, and he sang praises to the entire Jin family, praising them as unparalleled in the world.
Jin Yunfan could not hide his joy and welcomed everyone in.
Jiang was waiting for Xu Lingqiao at the hanging flower gate. She saw from a distance that when Xu Lingqiao was about to kneel down to pay her respects, several maids who were familiar with Xu Lingqiao supported her and said, "The eldest young master's wife said that you can't do that! It turns out that Sister Li is the cousin of the fourth young master Pei's wife."
Xu Ling's pretty face was smiling, just like a peach blossom in March.
She bowed gracefully and said, "Thank you very much, Madam, for saving my life. My cousin Guan Zhou wanted to come in person, but she broke her leg yesterday and has difficulty walking. Now she can't sit or lie down."
After all the talk, it also revealed the fact that Song Guanzhou looked very similar to himself.
Jiang was originally sincere in helping, but after hearing her husband and sister-in-law say that she would not be thanked even if she saved someone, she gradually let it go. Who could have expected that within a few days, they would come to her house to express their gratitude sincerely.
She was very happy and personally took Song Guanzhou's arm and walked towards Jin Fuyun.
As soon as she entered the door, Jin Fuyun's face changed into a gentle and smiling one. She went to the outer room and wanted to pretend to be friendly, but when she saw the face that looked 60% like Song Guanzhou, she couldn't pretend anymore.
She and Song Guanzhou are destined to fight to the death in this life.
Yu Cheng left early through the window. Xu Lingqiao thanked Jin Fuyun again. Jin Fuyun was not as warm as Jiang. She invited Xu Lingqiao and the two young ladies of the Xiao family to sit down and asked the maid to serve tea. She and her sister-in-law Jiang sat in the main seat. "My sister-in-law came back and told me about Miss Xu. I thought she was from an ordinary family, but she didn't expect that she was an old relative. What a great fate."
Xu Lingqiao stood up and bowed solemnly to the two hosts.
"Thanks to the young lady's righteousness, otherwise when we passed by Aoshan, there were many thieves there, and even if I was more careful, I would have had a hard time returning."
This was the second time Jin Fuyun saw Xu Lingqiao. The last time, Xu Lingqiao was knocked unconscious. She lit a torch and moved closer to take a closer look. At that time, she thought about setting her face on fire, but the plan in her heart made her calm down.
What's the use if it's ruined?
This is just a fake, and he is trying to curry favor with Pei Jizhan in a serious manner!
She asked Yu Cheng and Zhu San to personally send her to Qingmei Garden, but unfortunately, Qingmei Garden almost implicated her.
Now, Xu Lingqiao was standing in front of her, smiling sweetly, as if she was that bitch from the Song family. Jin Fuyun was in no mood to deal with her and was very taciturn from beginning to end. Fortunately, Jiang was very tactful and made way for the two young ladies of the Xiao family and Xu Lingqiao.
After about two incense sticks, Wang Qionglan stood up and said goodbye.
"No, I have to eat before I can go back." Jiang was hospitable and warmly tried to keep her, but Wang Qionglan politely declined, "Young Madam, you are too polite, but today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the elders in the mansion are waiting. It is rude to come to disturb your mansion so early, and it would be a sin to keep you for dinner."
Jin Fuyun stood up and saw the guests off with her sister-in-law.
When she reached the door, she realized what the scene was like. The two stone lions at the door were hung with red hydrangeas, and the ground was covered with firecracker debris, just like her plan that had failed miserably in front of Song Guanzhou.
Six people came from not far away, carrying three loads of heavy gifts.
When everyone was confused, the leading steward bowed to Jin Yunfan and said, "My Lord, today is the Dragon Boat Festival. My Lord has specially sent us to bring some delicious rice dumplings and fruits to the lady of the mansion. Please don't despise them."
Sent by He Jiang! He was really interested in this marriage——
Jin Fuyun's heart couldn't be colder.
She had no right to say these words of refusal before she even left the second door. Jin Yunfan had someone take the message outside and asked Jin Mo to give the errand boy some money. After sending the female relatives out, the courtyard inside the gate, which was originally empty, was now filled with gift boxes of all sizes.
Most of them were sent by the government, and the other three were just put down by the prince's mansion.
Seeing the happy expressions of his brother and sister-in-law, Jin Fuyun felt disgusted to the extreme and wanted to throw them all out!
She doesn't care!
After leaving the house, Alu came up to greet her, "Miss——"
"Is this your fourth son's idea? Why doesn't he come in person?!" She said coldly. Alu didn't dare to look up, like a quail...
