A group of people walked in one after another and arrived at the newly renovated Shaohua Garden.

Compared to the dull courtyard before, Shaohua Garden now has all kinds of trees, flowers and plants, especially several transplanted plum and peach trees. The flowers have faded, and the trees are full of green buds, full of vitality.

The grape vines had spread and had climbed up half of the rack. A round table and a drum stool had been placed below. Song Guanzhou was lying on a recliner with a palace fan covering his face, spending his day leisurely.

The maids and wives nearby all stood up to greet the guests. Pei An was just coming out of the main room with a box of incense in his hand.

Seeing Jin Fuyun and Zhu Baoyue coming, he did not even have time to put down his hands, and stepped forward to greet them, "Thank you both for coming to visit Guanzhou."

Jin Fuyun looked over and whispered, "If the Fourth Young Master's Madam is resting, let's go sit somewhere else." Qin Qingdong shouted from behind, "Hey, Fourth Young Master's Madam, wake up!" Before Jin Fuyun and Zhu Baoyue could stop him, Song Guanzhou slowly took off the palace fan, "...Qin Er, wait until I get better, and then I'll settle the score with you."

After saying that, he yawned loudly.

When she was about to get up, Pei An walked over and helped her up.

The two parties greeted each other, and Jin Fuyun smiled and said, "My sister-in-law looks good, it's a blessing."

Song Guanzhou smiled wryly, nodded, and deliberately leaned in Pei An's arms, "Thanks to the young lady, Guanzhou is in good health." However, when she saw the timid little girl hiding behind Jizi, she struggled to bend down and waved.

Pei An quickly stopped him, "You have wounds on your back and waist, don't open them."

"Come here, auntie, I'm fine."

"Thank you very much for saving my life, Madam. Qin Tong is the child of my deceased sister. If anything happens to me, I will be ashamed to see my deceased sister."

The dancer pulled the boy playing the zither forward, knelt down in front of Song Guanzhou, and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Song Guanzhou was so scared that he turned around and buried himself in Pei An's arms. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Pei An was calm and hugged Song Guanzhou. At the same time, he called Ren Dong and others to help him up. Seeing this scene, Jin Fuyun couldn't bear to look directly at it, and silently lowered her head, no longer looking at the pretentious bitch.

She hates Song Guanzhou in this life!

Although I have only met her twice, this bitch is like a vixen. Look at her, she seems to have no bones, leaning in Pei An's arms, she doesn't look like a proper woman at all!

What was even more disappointing was Pei An's reaction. Although he was such a solemn and serious man, he still carefully helped Song Guanzhou to sit down. After some humility, everyone sat down one after another. Song Guanzhou pulled the boy to his side and took a closer look. He looked good and well-behaved. Fortunately, he was saved.

"Your name is Qin Tong?"

Jizi wanted to stand up to reply, but Song Guanzhou said, "There are no such rules in our courtyard. Just sit down and reply."

"My brother-in-law's surname is Wang, and my sister is good at playing the zither. We call her Qintong."

"Eight years old?"

Jizi said, "I just turned eight two days ago, and now I am eating the food of a nine-year-old."

Song Guanzhou pulled Qintong and said with a smile, "What a good child! That day was very dangerous. She and Huan Ge'er both sank into the water and were motionless. I lost my strength and it was difficult to move in the water. I had to throw Qintong onto a branch and hang her there, and rescue the younger Huan Ge'er first. After Huan Ge'er was pulled up, Qintong also recovered and was breathing again. What a strong child."

After saying that, he hugged her in his arms and hugged her again and again.

Qin Tong was now a little braver and whispered, "Qin Tong thanks Madam for saving my life. You held me in your arms in the water and praised me for being brave. I remember it all."

"Good boy, you will surely grow up safely and have a smooth life."

Jizi thanked him with tears in her eyes, "We two slaves will share in the young lady's blessings, and we also hope that the young lady will be free from disasters and live in peace in the future."

Song Guanzhou leaned back in his chair and smiled, "That's natural, no illness or disaster, safe and sound." As she spoke, she glanced at Jin Fuyun inadvertently, and caught the anger in Jin Fuyun's eyes. She was stunned for a moment, and asked casually, "Miss, is that what I said?"

Jin Fuyun suppressed her anger and smiled dignifiedly, "Of course."

Song Guanzhou pulled Pei An, who wanted to avoid Qin Qingdong, and said, "Not only must you be healthy, but you must also get along with my Silang and his wife, and have a few children as soon as possible, so that we can live happily together." After saying that, he looked up at Pei An who was helpless, "Yes and no, Silang?"

Knowing her personality, she must be trying to be clever in front of Jin Fuyun on purpose.

Pei An had no choice but to say, "As you wish, Erlang and I will go to Yanlai Hall to discuss something, and you two can sit together. If there is anything missing, let the servants fill it in."

Sun Lin and Hua Chonglou also came out to meet the guests, as it would be inconvenient for the two of them to be present.

After the two men left, all the women in the room fell into silence. Jin Fuyun sat in the place where she once lived. No matter how smart she was, she couldn't muster any energy to entertain Song Guanzhou.

It was still Ren Dong who had some ability. He treated the host and the guests to freshly made sweet fruits, shortbreads, and vegetarian cakes. Jin Fuyun took a small bite, looked up at Ren Dong, whose face was half scarred, and said slowly, "How did you get burned? Why were you so careless?"

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, an alarm bell sounded in Song Guanzhou's heart.

Looking again, I saw Honeysuckle kneeling and bowing, and replied, "Miss, there was a fire in the house, and I was sleeping. I didn't know that the fire started from the tent, and a coil of silk thread fell down, and immediately melted on my face..." She said it lightly, but everyone present knew that it must be a catastrophe.

Jin Fuyun and she had a lifelong master-servant relationship. Now when she ate the familiar pastries, she couldn't help but think of the old friendship.

Thinking about that life, Zhenniang did not suffer this disaster, but now after following Song Guanzhou, she has become like this.

"It's pitiful. Otherwise, he looks fine...ah."

Song Guanzhou was shocked. Before she could ask, Rendong was a little shy. "Thank you for your concern, Miss. I just didn't expect that I had met you when you were young in front of the Crown Prince's wife, and you still remember what I look like."

Jin Fuyun sobered up instantly and ate another piece of auspicious bean paste cloud cake. "Of course I remember. You are the most beautiful maidservant in front of my second sister-in-law."

Song Guanzhou's expression was very playful. He ate snacks and drank tea slowly, seemingly unintentionally but not missing any expression on Jin Fuyun's face.

"Miss Baoyue, you have been here for quite some time but have not yet greeted the young lady. Today you are a guest. Please, for Fuyun's sake, do not make things difficult for Miss Baoyue." As soon as Jin Fuyun finished speaking, no one in the yard dared to say a word. Everyone present knew about the dispute between Song Guanzhou and Zhu Baoyue.

You know, Song Guanzhou's heroic feat during the Lantern Festival is still talked about among people today.
