When the servants brought the food, Ren Dong was surprised, "What? The fourth young master is back?"

The little girl shrank her neck and said, "Sister Dong, it wasn't long ago, but the Fourth Master just left with Alu Ge. What should we do with our food?"

Song Guanzhou smiled lightly, "Those who haven't slept can share the food."

Honeysuckle stamped her feet anxiously, "Why didn't you come in and report the news?"

"Madam, the Fourth Young Master wouldn't let him in, he walked in on his own." Originally thought to be a surprise for the Fourth Young Master's wife, but now it seems more of a shock. Ren Dong paced back and forth, rubbing her hands with an anxious look on her face, "Madam, could it be that the Fourth Young Master heard my slip of the tongue?"

Song Guanzhou waved his hand.

"Okay, let's eat and go to sleep."

She didn't take it seriously at all and walked towards the bed in her embroidered shoes.

Ren Dong followed her and lifted the quilt. After she took off her shoes and socks, she checked the growth of her toenails. She chased Mrs. Meng and the little girl out and whispered, "Why don't I invite the fourth young master to have dinner tomorrow? You and your wife haven't seen each other for more than ten days. A short separation is worse than a new marriage. Madam, you should be more gentle and maintain the love between husband and wife."

"No need."

It would be good for the good male protagonist who stays away from the future to survive these two years.

Song Guanzhou covered herself with a peach blossom quilt, smoothed her long, thick black hair, and lay down gently, "Go to sleep." Rendong had no choice but to cover her with the quilt, lowered the curtains, and tiptoed out of the main room.

Mrs. Meng was cleaning up in the kitchen. Lianhua and the two little girls also woke up and were sharing the food in the kitchen.

Seeing her push the door open, Lianhua took the bowl and chopsticks.

"No, I ate too much last night, you guys eat."

The two little girls were about ten years old. Originally, Song Guanzhou didn't like to give names to people, but after Rendong persuaded her, she reluctantly called the two children to her side and said, "Well, they both look decent, so let's call one Qingfang and the other Qingfei."

The beautiful April has ended, I just hope my two children can have a good life.

Song Guanzhou felt sorry for them, but in real life, being bought by a wealthy family to be a maid was the last and most merciful way out for these refugee girls.

If there is no good family to buy it, and the owner criticizes it harshly, or it is sent to a brothel, then life will be difficult for you.

Song Guanzhou has read a lot of books and novels, and he could only sigh when he thought of this.

Qingfang has bigger eyes and a round face, while Qingfei has smaller eyes and an oval face. When the two children came into the mansion, they were pale and thin, but after being raised for a while, they have grown into decent-looking people.

Rendong took some time out of her busy schedule to learn the rules from a few maids and wives.

"If you break the rules and get punished outside, the young lady will be implicated." He used both kindness and severity, and both soft and hard tactics, and Lotus and Hehua both improved a lot.

After he had explained tomorrow's affairs and bolted the door, he returned to the couch outside the main house with the lantern in his hand, spread the mattress and quilt, extinguished the lantern, and went to sleep with his clothes on.

Early the next morning, Pei An went on duty.

Aru carried various gifts and delivered them to each room from top to bottom. The Duke was not feeling well and Chunri was feeling sleepy, so the gift box was given to Aunt Fang.

The next one is the room of the old lady and the prince’s wife.

Xiao asked A-lu a few more questions, including whether he had rested well and whether he was tired. She asked about food, clothing, housing and transportation in great detail. A-lu knew that the old lady loved her son very much, so he was very eloquent and told her all kinds of stories, which made the old lady very happy.

"He went all the way on an errand, and he brought these things to the mansion. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Alu bowed quickly and replied, "Madam, please try it. If it tastes good, I will write a letter to someone to buy it and send it to you."

Xiao Shi came to pay her respects at that time. Upon hearing this, she also joked, "This Aluhun is a glutton. No matter where he goes with your brother, he can always find some rare food."

Alu quickly bowed and greeted.

Xiao liked it most when others praised her three sons, even her eldest son Pei Jie who had died unexpectedly.

"Brother An is going to work early this morning?"

Alu replied, "The mission is important, so I have to report to the higher-ups."

Xiao smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very good. You traveled all the way here under the stars last night. It was very tiring. Did you rest in Yanlai Hall or return to Shaohua Garden last night?"

Good guy.

Aru mumbled.

When Xiao saw him like this, she was furious, "Is Song still in a bad mood?"

Alu quickly denied it, "Not really, it's just that it was late at night and the young lady was not feeling well and went to bed early. The fourth young master thought it would be bad to wake her up, so he returned to Yanlai Hall."

"Xiu'er!"

Xiao Yinxiu's heart skipped a beat, and she had no choice but to step forward and said, "Aunt, don't worry."

"Your eldest sister-in-law is in Qijiang. Now you are the head of the family, and you are her second sister-in-law. You should talk to her more often. How can a wife be so rude? Your husband is busy outside, and he must be causing trouble when he comes back. How come you can't even get a warm welcome?"

"Don't worry, aunt. I think if you treat your fourth brother's wife well, they will naturally live in harmony."

Xiao's face was full of wrinkles and she didn't smile at the moment. She looked like a sullen witch.

"I told the master that day, how can this delicately raised girl of the Song family enter our mansion? Her fate is so tough, let alone her parents, but she has no brothers or sisters around her. She finally has a foster brother, but he has disappeared. It's hard to say whether she is dead or alive! With this fate, I'm afraid my brother An will suffer in the future."

This is not the first time Xiao has said these words.

Alu could only lower his head and put his head close to his ear.

Xiao Yinxiu was also in a dilemma, but she had to agree with him on the surface. However, after all, they were a family. As a legitimate girl raised in the Xiao family, she naturally could not stab her fourth brother's wife in the back.

"Don't worry, aunt. When Fourth Brother's wife is well again, I will arrange a plan and invite this proud couple to have a meal and drink. They will definitely reconcile."

Xiao snorted coldly, "Take it to heart!"

"Don't worry, aunt!"

Xiao stroked the golden hairpin and couldn't help shaking her head, "I know it's hard for you, but who made you the mistress of this mansion? An'er is this age, Chen'er is this age, Ling'er is three years old, Huan'er is also over one year old, Jie'er has a hard life, and he also has Qin'er as a child, but An'er, look at him!"

If Song cannot give birth to a legitimate son, the illegitimate son will take over, and An Ge'er's family will become weak.

Xiao thought a lot and sent Alu away. She also told Xiao Yinxiu, "Let the doctor take Song's pulse another day to see how she is doing. If she can't have children, make plans early."

When Xiao Yinxiu heard this, he felt overwhelmed.

"Aunt, there is no rush. My fourth brother is only 23 years old, and his wife is even younger, just 18. Just wait."

Can this wait?

It seemed that everyone could wait, but there was one person who was as impatient as Xiao.

After Doctor Gao came out of the Princess's Mansion, Jin Fuyun returned to her bedroom with a solemn face. Now in her fourth life, everything was changing rapidly, except for her own body, which remained the same as always.

"Young lady, you worry too much. You have a yin deficiency and insufficient menstrual blood. In addition, your spleen is damp and your heart and kidney fire are extremely weak. It is best to regulate your body."

The prescriptions they prescribed were all similar, and Jin Fuyun couldn't help but feel disappointed after reading them.

She has been taking care of herself since she was young, but she couldn't stand her poor foundation.

Princess Hong'an was also unable to keep her pregnancy going, and she went through a lot of trouble to have Jin Fuyun, her only child.

During that period, due to the lack of fertility, General Jin had to be allowed to take concubines and have children. Jin Fuyun's two elder brothers were all born to concubines. However, Princess Hong'an was cruel and took the eldest son who had lost his mother to her side and treated him as her legitimate son.

Like her mother, she and Pei An were married in two of their three lives and got pregnant two or three times, but all the pregnancies ended in miscarriages at three or four months.

In this life, she started to make careful adjustments when she got herself into trouble.

how...

Still can't escape the arrangement of fate.

Suo Hong came in holding a cup of sweet tea and whispered, "Miss, Imperial Doctor Gao left two prescriptions. Why don't I go get the medicine and take a few first?"

Jin Fuyun took off her head jewelry and shook her head slightly.

"It's just the same thing. I've been taking it for four or five years, but there's no improvement. My spleen and stomach are getting worse and worse. It's better to stop taking it for a while." She looked at the red lock in the bronze mirror, but she was worried about something else, "How are Panxi and Panlan's affairs going?"

Suohong put down the sweet tea.

Walking behind Jin Fuyun, he picked up a sandalwood comb and gently combed her hair. "Don't worry, young lady. Everything has been arranged. Pan Xi's parents have also been brought to the mansion. Pan Xi and Pan Lan have also signed the indentures. It's just that -"

There was some worry on Suo Hong's face.

"Just what?"

"The maid that was kicked out of the Duke's Mansion is now brought in by the eldest daughter. Will the Pei family find it inappropriate?"

Jin Fuyun's face darkened. "Don't worry. Panxi and Panlan are only staying at the mansion to do some minor work. I'm still used to you maids around me."

Suo Hong smiled shyly, "I'm not afraid that the young lady will dislike me."

"After some time, when the peach blossoms in the other garden bloom, I will invite some sisters I know well to come and enjoy the flowers. Then you will know that I will be very busy."

The Jin family owns a farm at the foot of Jin Mountain. Half of the hillside is covered with peach trees. People there enjoy a great reputation for admiring the flowers in February and March and eating peaches in July and August.

In the past, all the masters of the Jin family lived in remote areas, and this farm was often rented out when the peach blossoms bloomed.

When Jin Fuyun comes back this year, she will definitely take advantage of the peach blossoms to hold a peach blossom banquet.

Suo Hong nodded, "For the eldest lady's banquet, I'm afraid many ladies and daughters of princes will come to join in the fun. If it's just the few of us, it will definitely not be enough."

"Don't worry, there are only a few people I know well."

The next day, he summoned the second steward, Uncle Zhu, who had come with him, and gave him instructions about the Peach Blossom Banquet.

Uncle Zhu thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it will take another half month. The mountain is cold this year and the peach blossoms haven't bloomed yet, unlike the peach blossoms in the courtyard, which are blooming in groups of three or two."

Jin Fuyun had to temporarily put aside her anxiety.

After dismissing his attendants, he asked Zhu San, "Uncle San, have arrangements been made for Madam Xian and her group?"

Zhu San narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Don't worry, young lady. I'll give them some silver to get rid of them. They don't have many dirty deeds. The life of the concubine of the Song family is still hanging by a thread, so they will never dare to make trouble for others."

Jin Fuyun snorted coldly.

"How dare she come and bite you? She can't even do this."

Speaking of the group of witches led by Xian Da Niang, Zhu San was also very angry. "Although this matter was not done well, it is better than not doing it. I saw that Pei Guogong did not want to pursue it, but just drove him out of the capital. As for the matter that the young lady is worried about, they are all in the capital now, waiting for the opportunity."

"How did the investigation go?"

Zhu San said doubtfully, "I asked Madam Xu, and she said that she sent the maids and servants in, but Song didn't show up."

"Have the people you arranged gone in?"

Zhu San shook his head.

"The Fourth Young Master selected them personally, and only picked two yellow-haired girls and two wives of average looks." Zhu San selected carefully, but none of the ones who came from Jincheng were chosen.

"Pei An, a young man, actually interfered in the affairs of the harem, and Xiao Shi let him do it?"

Why was it completely different from what she remembered?

It’s still the same familiar people and the familiar Duke’s Mansion, but now they have a different style of doing things?

Zhu San sighed, "I asked someone to inquire again. According to what you said, young lady, there is no shortage of people in Shaohua Garden now. But there is also good news..."

"Say!"

"The Fourth Young Master's wife got angry with the Fourth Young Master because of the exorcism. The couple started arguing without saying a word. I heard that the Fourth Young Master has been living in Yanlai Hall for a long time."

Jin Fuyun didn't believe it at all. "Song Guanzhou would only chase Pei An, why would he be angry? I'm afraid this woman is doing something evil again--"

In the past three lives, the two of them were chasing each other. It was only later when Song Guanzhou was responsible for Zhu Baoyue's murder that he began to resent Pei An.

There is a deep grudge between the two of them. She is determined to win over Pei An, but Pei An refuses to obey her.

"I heard it was true, and during this exorcism, the Pei family used a lot of things to shut up the Song family, including Wenxi Villa in the hands of the Duke of Pei's family."

what?

Jin Fuyun's face was full of disbelief, and he slammed the table and stood up, "Uncle San, did you hear it wrong?"

Wenxi Manor is a manor bestowed by the late emperor. It is not large or exquisite, but it is valuable because it is the emperor’s recognition of Duke Pei.

Her once proud mother-in-law, Mrs. Xiao, could not get the farm, and neither could the Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Xiao. The farm was kept in the hands of the Duke until a hundred years later, when he returned it to the royal family.

...From the beginning to the end, this manor has been coveted by many members of the Pei family, but they can only occasionally receive the grace of the Duke and stay in for a few days.

How could such a Zhuangzi be given to Song Guanzhou?

Zhu San sighed, "It's true, young lady. I even went to the government office to inquire and found out that Wenxi Manor is still the real name of the Song family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Fuyun sat down dejectedly, unable to recover for a long time.

Finally, she waved her hand and asked Zhu San to leave. She sat in the outer room, in a trance.

Song Guanzhou, who was already in a daze, became even more dazed. He looked at the two bags of valuables that Aru had asked the servant to carry and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
