Ren Dong gently massaged the parts of Song Guanzhou's legs and feet that were not tied up, and whispered, "Young Madam, I'd better stay out less in the future. This face... I'm afraid it will offend you."

Song Guanzhou was very clever. He lowered his head and looked at her when he heard this.

"The maids in my second sister-in-law's yard treat you badly?"

Honeysuckle shook her head quickly.

"No, now the maids and servants in the mansion see that I have gained face in front of the young lady, so they dare not treat me badly. But I feel sorry for you, young lady. If you take me out with a good face, it won't be embarrassing. But..."

Song Guanzhou raised his slender hand, holding the small and round chin of Honeysuckle like a dandy boy, and chuckled, "Don't think about it. If I can't let you go, I won't let you go. There's nothing else to worry about. Don't think too much. Second sister-in-law doesn't like me, so she will definitely say more dirty things to you. Be more open-minded and don't rely on her for food."

"If..." Ren Dong lowered her eyes and couldn't help but say Xiao Yinxiu's threatening words, "What if the wife of the prince wants to call me back?"

what!

I was absent-minded because of this matter.

"It depends on whether you are willing or not."

Song Guanzhou asked casually, and Rendong knelt down with a plop, "Of course I don't want to, but I'm afraid..."

"It's okay if you don't want to, unless I have no way to survive."

"Young Madam, please don't say such things!" What does it mean that there is no way out? Honeysuckle looked up, tears welling up in her eyes. "Young Madam, please don't say these unlucky words. If you say them too much, God might hear them—"

Seeing that Ren Dong was worried and scared, Song Guanzhou quickly helped her up and said, "Why are you kneeling? Your knees are more valuable."

"Young Madam, please don't scare me."

Everyone in Shaohua Garden was pointing at the delicate master in front of them. Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will go to Longen Temple to burn incense in the future. You should make more offerings to the Buddha and pray for peace of mind."

After comforting Rendong, Song Guanzhou sent Hehua to the kitchen to ask for a table full of delicious food, and waited for Sun Lin to come.

At this time, Qin Qingdong knocked on the door of Shaohuayuan with the good news. Since the weather became increasingly hot, Pei An sent Rendong and a few others to keep the courtyard door ajar on weekdays.

When I entered, I saw Song Guanzhou, a show-off, copying calligraphy.

Qin Qingdong came closer to take a look and couldn't bear to look at it, "You've been sketching for more than ten days, why is it getting uglier?"

"...What's the rush? You can't learn calligraphy in a day or two." Song Guanzhou had never learned calligraphy before, and now that he was starting from scratch, he became more and more impatient. Pei An was on duty that evening to give him some instruction. One was meticulous and the other was impatient, and they almost got into an argument.

"Well! Ji Zhang said he couldn't teach you, so he asked me to come and give you some pointers when I have time."

Pei An and Qin Qingdong met yesterday and drank two cups of tea in the teahouse outside the official residence. Pei An said helplessly at the end, "You walk dogs and play with cats every day. If you have some free time, go to Shaohua Garden and teach Guan Zhou how to practice calligraphy."

Qin Qingdong raised his eyebrows, "Why, now you don't mind my weak handwriting anymore."

When it comes to calligraphy, whether it's cursive, running, or regular script, Pei Che was the best. It's a pity he lost his arm, so let's not mention him now. Next is Pei An.

Pei An heard this and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Husband and wife cannot be master and disciple. Guan Zhou got angry after just a few words of advice. Forget it, just go. You are thick-skinned anyway. It doesn't matter if the two of you quarrel. You will make up in a few days anyway."

Qin Qingdong looked over with shame, "So I'm going to use your wife as a punching bag for you?"

That’s a good plan!

Because of this, Qin Qingdong came up to him, made fun of him, and talked about his ability in calligraphy. Song Guanzhou was not a child and became even more impatient.

If there is a disagreement, he will hide his face and remain silent.

Qin Qingdong laughed in silence, "Why? You said yourself that this matter is not urgent, but you are getting anxious about it."

Song Guanzhou felt a little aggrieved. "Forget it. If you are here, I will just accompany you and stop writing."

What?

Lin Shan and Lin Xi just wanted to see him, so Song Guanzhou simply abandoned his writing brush and asked He Hua to put it away. Qin Qingdong was stunned, "Song Guanzhou, can you have some backbone?"

The woman sat up straight and ignored him.

Instead, he waved to greet the two people coming from the corridor. Linxi followed behind Linshan, "The fourth young master's wife is really rare. I have never heard of her being so lively before."

"The Fourth Young Master's wife is open and honest in her heart, and so is the Fourth Young Master."

Otherwise, who can tolerate it?

When they arrived, the two of them greeted each other politely. Qingfang and Qingfei had already brought out the drum stool. The two of them sat down and the maids served tea.

"According to Second Aunt, the 28th is a good day, not the 1st or 15th. Longen Temple has relatively fewer pilgrims, and women do not need to be cleared out when entering the temple, which is much more convenient."

Song Guanzhou told Mrs. Mei about the day she had chosen to burn incense, and invited people to Linshan and Linxi.

"Please follow closely that day."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Lin Shan and Lin Xi hadn't reacted yet, but Qin Qingdong's face changed drastically, "Someone wants to harm you?"

“Nip problems before they happen.”

A few days ago, Song Guanzhou sent Meng Sao Hehua out to spread some news. It might not be possible to get what people want if Meng Sao always hides in the government office. It would be better to be a bait and take the initiative to attack.

She never told anyone about her thoughts.

But she did not dare to take it lightly. Jin Fuyun was capable and she never dared to underestimate him, so she called Lin Shan and the other two over.

Upon hearing Song Guanzhou's instructions, Lin Shan immediately bowed and agreed, "Young Madam, rest assured, my brother and I will certainly protect you."

"only you."

Song Guanzhou pointed at Linxi and said, "You protect my cousin. She was murdered in the capital. I think the person who murdered her must be watching from the dark and looking for an opportunity to harm her."

"Can't you?"

Qin Qingdong was half lying on the chair, but now he sat up straight and squinted his eyes at Song Guanzhou, only to hear the latter sneer, "Why not? Don't think that the thief has given up just because my cousin returned to the mansion safely."

"I didn't know your cousin's identity before, but now that the Duke's Mansion is behind you—"

"No!"

Song Guanzhou looked at the three men in front of him and said without hesitation, "The thief knowingly committed the crime. If my cousin was not my sister, Song Guanzhou, the thief would not even bother to care about me."

At this point, she looked at Qin Qingdong, "Qin Er, you know it well. If you don't want to be in charge, don't make trouble for me."

This statement pierced Qin Qingdong's suspicion. He turned his head away and did not dare to look into Song Guanzhou's starry eyes.

"Watching the boat——"

Song Guanzhou raised his hand to stop Qin Qingdong, "Qin Er, don't make trouble, don't give me advice, you and Silang have your own place to stand, I can't rely on anyone else, my father asked Brother Linshan and Linxi to help me, I will go find them."

This is a very cold and mean remark.

Qin Qingdong opened his mouth to speak, but then he knew what Song Guanzhou said.

He wanted to explain several times, but he knew why he didn't check it. Wasn't it because of the friendship between them?

Having said that, Qin Qingdong could only remain silent.

Little did he know that Lin Shan's heart was in turmoil. He never expected that the Fourth Young Master's wife had guessed part of the truth based on just the few words he handed back.

That's right!

The Duke knew Jin Fuyun's plan very clearly.
