The rebirth of the poisonous girl is back
Chapter 120: Shangyuan Lantern
Chapter 120: Shangyuan Lantern
Finally using tricks to get rid of the restraint, Jing Wanbai's appetite also came, and after eating, he went to Luoxia Pavilion.
At that time, Jing Se was reboiling the medicinal juice for Su Aoyu and brought it over. Seeing Jing Wan Bai wandering in the courtyard, Jing Se walked over and asked with a smile: "The third younger sister came to see mother?"
Jing Wanbai looked a little embarrassed, and nodded: "Yes, I wonder if mother is awake now?"
Jing Se said: "I just came back, I don't know very well, why don't you go in and have a look?"
"No." Jing Wan Bai took a step back without any trace, and said: "Eldest sister should go in for me to take a look, I'll go in like this, in case mother falls asleep, it will be a disturbance instead."
Jing Se raised her eyebrows and said nothing more.
A person like Jing Wan Bai is really top-notch, but her biological mother was lying there, but she hesitated because she was afraid of infecting herself, so she just put on a nice name of "I have visited my seriously ill mother", In fact, she still doesn't even know what Su Aoyu has become.
Silent for a long time, Jing Se said: "Since the third sister has been released from the grounds, why don't you go and take care of your mother for half a day. In the evening, there will be a Lantern Festival in Shangyuan. My grandmother told me to prepare well in the morning. I haven't had time to get out yet." , fortunately you are here."
With that said, Jing Se handed Jing Wan Bai the wooden basin filled with bitter concoction.
Jing Wan Bai wrinkled his nose and stepped back, hesitantly said: "Eldest sister, I'm not a doctor after all, I'm afraid that if I don't do well enough to make my mother suffer, you should come here yourself."
"What are you afraid of?" Jing Se snorted, "You are the mother's own daughter, even if you don't do well, she won't blame you, just go, the mother has already soaked in it earlier, She knows what to do."
Jing Wan Bai still hesitated.
Jing Se hit the nail on the head, "Isn't the third sister worried that your mother will get angry with you?"
"Why, how is it possible?" Jing Wan Bai pulled the corner of his mouth, and took the wooden basin with great reluctance, "Since the eldest sister has said so, then I will go there myself."
"That's right." Jing Se glanced at her with a smile, "I'll go in and instruct you how to help mother clean the wound in a while. This kind of thing is not difficult, as long as you study hard, you will understand it in a while."
After speaking, the two opened the curtain together and entered the door.
After half a day of tossing and itching during the day yesterday and a whole night of pain and itching, Su Aoyu still hasn't woken up, lying on the bed, her eyes are sunken, her eyelids are blue and gray, her cheekbones are protruding, her face has no normal color, like a dead person.
Seeing Su Aoyu like this, Jing Wanbai almost shook his hands and dropped the wooden basin to the ground.
Jing Se hurried over to support Jing Wan Bai, "Third Sister, are you alright?"
"No, it's okay." Jing Wanbai leaned over and put the wooden basin on the ground, and then found Xiao Zhuzi to sit down in front of the bed, glanced at Su Aoyu, then at Jing Se, with a worried face, "Eldest sister, is mother ill?" Is it particularly heavy?"
"Yeah." Jing Se didn't hide anything, and nodded, "In short, it won't get better in a while."
"Sister's medical skills are so good, even you can't do anything about it?" Jing Wan Bai is not reconciled, if her mother dies like this, she will have no one to support her in this mansion in the future, then what will happen to her marriage? it is good?
Jing Se sat down beside her, and slowly said: "Third sister, in fact, if you cared more about your mother, don't deal with these moths in exchange for labor, mother will never become like this at all."
As soon as the words fell, Jing Se lifted the arm that Jin was scratched by Su Aoyu and showed it to Jing Wanbai.
With just one glance, Jing Wan Bai felt nauseated in his chest, couldn't stand it, got up hurriedly, covered his mouth and ran out, throwing up in a daze.
Jing se smiled.
When Jing Wanbai sat down earlier, she keenly noticed that Su Aoyu was already awake, but she was just pretending to sleep. The reason why she said those words to Jing Wanbai and made her look at Su Aoyu's arm was all acting, thinking Let Jing Wanbai's ugly face be exposed in front of her biological mother.
As expected, Jing Wan Bai, who was used to rich clothes and fine food since childhood, couldn't bear such a visual impact, and immediately vomited.
When Jing Wan Bai came back, his face was as pale as paper, and his expression was particularly weak.
Jing se thoughtfully gave her a cup of tea to rinse her mouth.
Jing Wan Bai took it and thanked him.
Jing se said: "while my mother is still awake, you will wash her wound in a while. When my mother wakes up, I will tell her that you have been here."
Jing Wan Bai thought of seeing the white and wrinkled arm soaked in the potion just now, and felt disgusted again. This time, he couldn't hold it back, and pulled out a stiff smile, "Sister, I'm not feeling well today. Come back another day, when mother wakes up later, if you tell the truth, I am her biological daughter, even if she comes to see her a few days later, she will not blame me."
Jing Se smiled, "Then, the third sister can go, and I'll see you at the lantern festival tonight."
Jing Wan Bai stood up politely, "Then I'll take my leave."
After Jing Wanbai left, Su Aoyu slowly opened his eyes, which were already filled with tears.
Jing Se sat down, "How does mother feel today?"
Su Aoyu howled all night last night, her voice has long been hoarse, so she can only make a "ho ho" sound from her throat.
Jing Se moved her head closer and asked, "What does mother want to say?"
Su Aoyu stared blankly at the roof of the tent, but still couldn't make a sound, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
Unexpectedly, she never imagined that the daughter she had raised for 15 years was not as good as a stepdaughter. When Jing Wan Bai was disfigured, she was so busy as a mother that she decocted the medicine herself and then took care of her. After feeding, she was still worried that she would not sleep well at night, so she specially asked someone to move a small couch to Jing Wanbai's bedside to accompany her.
In the past few days, it was her mother's turn to be ill, but her biological daughter made such a disgusting gesture.
It was just seeing her injured arm, and she was disgusted like that. How could she be a biological mother?
Seeing Su Aoyu crying, Jing Se knew that she must be extremely annoyed by Jing Wanbai.
Jing Se didn't make a sound, and took out a handkerchief to wipe Su Aoyu's tears, with a filial daughter-in-law look on her face, "Mother, you are seriously ill, you don't want to cry, it hurts your body carefully."
Su Aoyu finally slowed down and was able to speak, she said: "From heart to body, haven't I hurt enough?"
Jing Se smiled lightly, "The third younger sister is only as old as Ji, why are you fussing so much with her?"
"But I am her biological mother." Su Aoyu burst into tears again, "Now that I am in trouble, she not only doesn't care, but is also full of disgust. She doesn't look like a daughter."
After finishing speaking, Su Aoyu looked at Jing Se movedly, "Arthur, I never thought that you were the one who cared about me and took care of me at the critical moment."
Jing Se smiled, "What did my mother say? I was sick in the early years because of my mother. When you first entered the mansion, didn't you just stay in front of the bed and take care of me all day long? Now I take care of you, as it should be."
What Jingse said made Su Aoyu instantly think of the times when she had people buy some superficial tonics that were actually not suitable for Jingse's body and fed her every day in those years, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
At that time, Jing Se was only a few years old. She was not cruel enough to deal with such a little girl, but she hated that Su Leyao would die at that time, so she had to marry Mrs. Jin. The Right Prime Minister's Mansion took care of Su Leyao's daughter, so that she and Zheng Yong would never be able to live together for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, she spread all her grievances on little Jingse, who was only six years old at the time, and hoped that she would die quickly every day.
It's just that she didn't expect the Duke of Jin's wife to care so much about Jing Se's granddaughter, and she didn't know how to persuade the owner of Wangyou Valley, Zong Zhengchu, to agree to take Jing Se in.
Seeing that Jing Se was so favored by the Duke of Jin's wife, Su Aoyu became even more jealous. She was not reconciled, why was she just a side branch of the Su family, and why was she not born in a noble compound like the Duke of Jin's mansion?
So, Su Aoyu tried her best, and finally found an opportunity. When Jing Se came back from Wangyou Valley, she asked Aunt Xue to take a few people to stop Jing Se from drugging her and having an affair with others, which led to her later Unmarried and pregnant, she lost all the love of the elder Jing Yuhuan and was sent to the countryside to fend for herself.
Looking back now, Su Aoyu has no regrets in her heart. At least in the matter of taking care of her, even her own daughter could not do it, but Jing Se did it. Not only did she not dislike her, but she was always concerned about her discomfort. , The soup, medicine and meals are carefully served, lest she will be hungry and cold.
Unable to restrain her emotion, Su Aoyu simply shed tears again, her voice choked up, "My own daughter still dislikes me so much that I dare not get close to me, and throws me aside to go to the Lantern Festival. But you treat me so favorably regardless of the past, Arthur, You are really my good daughter."
Jing Se smiled softly, and said submissively: "I did all this because of my daughter's duty. It doesn't matter if mother remembers it or not. You just need to know that I never harmed you."
Su Aoyu nodded, "I naturally know that you are kind."
Stretching out the other hand to caress Jingse's crow temple, Su Aoyu's voice became softer, "My good boy, you have to go to the Lantern Festival at night, go back and prepare earlier, I can still move, if it relapses later, I will Soak it."
Jing se stood up, bowed her knees and left.
Back in the ear room, Jingse closed the door, took out the little paper figurines she cut last night, and gave Qinger some instructions in a low voice.
Qing'er was heartbroken and nodded repeatedly, "Miss, please rest assured, this matter will be handled properly by this servant."
Jing Se never questioned Qing'er's ability, she nodded, "That's it, as long as you follow my instructions, Su Shi will never be safe tonight."
After explaining everything, Jingse left Luoxia Pavilion and returned to Muyunju. Yingluo, who hadn't seen Jingse for two days, was overjoyed, and quickly greeted her, "Miss Biao, but you don't have to go to Luoxia Pavilion anymore?"
Jing Se laughed, "You little girl, my mother hasn't recovered yet, how could I get away with it?"
Yingluo was disappointed all of a sudden, "So that's the case, then when will you come back?"
"Didn't you come back?" Jingse entered the upper room, took the teacup Yingluo handed over, and said, "Tonight, during the Lantern Festival, the old lady allowed us sisters to go to the moat to light lamps and make wishes. I plan to bring you go"
Yingluo immediately jumped up, "That's great."
Thinking of the last time Miss Biao was assassinated when she went to Famen Temple to offer incense, Yingluo's face collapsed in an instant, "No, no, there are too many people on the street tonight, what should I do if something happens?"
"That shouldn't be the case." Jing Se smiled, "The last time I was in Famen Temple was purely an accident, this time the old lady arranged a lot of guards with strong martial arts skills, and I don't want to be assassinated again."
Yingluo solemnly said: "Then servants will be guarding Miss Biao at every step tonight, even if there are assassins, servants will be able to stand in front of you."
Jing Se couldn't help laughing, "You don't know martial arts, what are you doing in the front?"
Yingluo blinked her big innocent eyes, "Naturally, it's to buy time for Miss Biao to escape."
Jing Se was moved in his heart, but smiled on his face: "In that little head of yours, you think about messy things all day long, stop quickly, or you will become a crow's mouth."
Yingluo came to her senses and hurriedly said "Bah bah" twice, "It's the slave who talks too much, she should be beaten!"
"Go and prepare." Jing Se ordered, "We have to set off after dinner."
Yingluo quickly retreated.
Not long after, a woman from the outer courtyard came to report, "Miss, the Third Highness is here."
Jing Se was stunned for a moment, then stood up and went out to greet her personally with the mother-in-law.
Today's Gu Beiyu is wearing a sapphire blue multicolored embroidered cloud-pattern brocade gown with a round collar and a half-sleeved long-sleeved gown with a dark blue base and a tufted pattern.
He was sitting in the front hall, receiving the hospitality from the maids.
Seeing Jing Se come in, Gu Beiyu immediately showed joy on his face, and stood up with a smile, "Cousin."
"Why is Bei Yu free to come over today?" Jing Se smiled back politely.
Gu Beiyu was stunned and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, maybe my cousin has forgotten?"
"I dare not forget that." Jing Se smiled.
"Did you have a chance to go out during the Shangyuan Festival?" Gu Beiyu's eyes were fixed on her face, "I will stay at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion for dinner in a while, and I will go with you when it is over."
Jing Se was stunned, "Are you going to light lanterns with us?"
"Yeah." Gu Beiyu smiled shyly, "It's the first time I've spent the Lantern Festival with my cousin!"
Jing Se's eyebrows moved, "Before you left the palace, did you tell Concubine Shu and the emperor?"
"I've already said it." Gu Beiyu said, "I specifically went to ask for instructions that I would go back to my grandfather's house during the Shangyuan Festival, and both my father and my concubine agreed."
"That's good." Jing Se breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why, cousin doesn't want me to go with you?" Gu Beiyu saw that her expression was not right, and asked quickly.
"Of course I welcome you if you can come." Jing Se forced a smile, but she was actually worried about Fan Chen.
He will definitely not miss such a good opportunity during the Shangyuan Festival. If he bumps into her and Gu Beiyu together at that time, Fan Chen will definitely overthrow the jealousy.
Gu Beiyu is not a dull person, and he vaguely saw some clues, "Cousin, isn't she worried that the matter of me going with you will be discovered by Brahma?"
Her mind was pierced, and Jing Se couldn't pretend anymore, so she just nodded along the way.
Gu Beiyu's eyes dimmed instantly, "Is his feeling that important to my cousin?"
Jing Se did not intend to expose her relationship with Fan Chen at this time, but said ambiguously: "I didn't mean that, you and I are cousins, there is nothing wrong with you going to the Lantern Festival with me, but Fan Shizi has a bit of a temper Strange, even if there is only a marriage relationship between us and no substantial progress, he doesn't like other men to be so close to me."
Gu Beiyu pulled his heart hard, and said solemnly after a while: "So what, my cousin also said that there is only a marriage relationship between you, and it's all in name. As long as you don't want to, he can take you again." how?"
Jing Se sighed helplessly in her heart, "Beiyu, there are so many sisters in the mansion, why don't you go to them, but to me?"
Gu Beiyu stared at her, "Because none of them are you."
Jing Se was afraid that he would say something shocking to the world next, so she quickly turned her eyes away and changed the subject, "Since you are going to stay for dinner, then I will take you to the old lady's place. She has been talking about you on New Year's Eve, and I just came today , I should go and see you."
When Gu Beiyu saw that she deliberately picked up a topic, he was not annoyed, he slightly curled his lips, and replied, "Okay."
Jing Se quickly took Gu Beiyu to the Millennium Hall.
When the old lady learned that Gu Beiyu had arrived, she was overjoyed and went out to greet her personally with a stick.
Gu Beiyu hurried over to help her, "Grandmother, how dare Beiyu bother you to go out to greet her in person?"
The old lady smiled and said angrily: "Even though you are my grandson, you cannot violate the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. The ancestor's etiquette is there. Do you want me to be criticized even though I am old?"
"How dare Beiyu." Gu Beiyu helped her back to the Nuan Pavilion step by step.
After the old lady sat down safely, Gu Beiyu walked into the hall and kowtowed three times to the old lady, which frightened the old lady so much that she suddenly stood up.
Gu Beiyu ordered the servants who came up behind to bring up the presents, and then said with a smile: "Grandmother, this is Beiyu's New Year's greetings for you. There were many banquets in the palace a few days ago, and the official business at the beginning of the year I'm busy, I haven't had time to visit you, so I will make up for you today."
"Okay, okay." The old lady hurriedly asked Madam Xie to help Gu Beiyu up, "You really are a very filial person, come, come and sit by grandma's side."
Gu Beiyu obediently went over to sit down, and the old lady then chatted with him about the daily routine, asking about the physical condition of Concubine Shu, the emperor and the empress, and about trivial matters. Showing a little impatience, he answered the old lady one by one.
Finally, after the old lady finished asking all the questions, Gu Beiyu was free to speak.
"Grandmother, second uncle is back?"
The old lady nodded, "I came back on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Now it's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Your second uncle has long been working in the Jingwei command and envoy department. You are busy with government affairs, so you don't know about it."
Gu Beiyu hesitated, and said, "I saw him in front of the palace gate this morning."
The old lady smiled and said, "Has he greeted you before?"
"En." Gu Beiyu hesitated slightly, and continued: "In the morning, Aunt Jiahua and I left the palace together, and Second Uncle talked to us for a while before leaving."
The old lady might not be able to see Gu Beiyu's expression, but Jing Se felt something strange when she saw it.
What kind of person is Princess Jiahua? Jingse saw it clearly last time in Luomeiyuan. She lost her son-in-law the year before last, and she has been alone in the vacant room until now. This woman is absolutely impossible to be willing to die alone. Among the brothers, he is the most beautiful and masculine. Is it possible that Princess Jiahua will fall in love with him because of this?
As soon as the idea came out, Jing Se was taken aback by herself, and quickly put away her thoughts.
Gu Beiyu paused for a long time before opening his mouth again, "How is the matter of grandma and second aunt going?"
As soon as the old lady heard it, her expression gradually became gloomy, and she sighed: "Since your second aunt's accident, the imperial court has sent people to help find it, but it has never been successful. Your second uncle can't stay in Jinling too much. The people who were sent to look for it in private didn’t report back with any results.”
Speaking of this, the old lady sighed, "Last year, according to the law, the case of the female prime minister should have been punished by the Nine Clans, but your second aunt is from the Yang family in Changzhou after all, once it is included in the Nine Clans, it will implicate We are in the house, so your eldest uncle and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will try their best to request that only Xia's father, brother, and son be punished, so that the Yang family in Changzhou is not involved. But even so, your second aunt has always been with the Xia family. There is nothing to do with it, even if she comes back now, our family is determined not to stay, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come back, after so many years, who knows whether she is alive or not. Don't ask about this matter in the future Mention it again, otherwise your second uncle will be unhappy when he hears it."
Gu Beiyu understood, and there was a cold light in his downcast eyes.
The reason why Xia Mu died so badly was not caused by the eldest uncle and the prince?
Mrs. Jing felt that Gu Beiyu was a little strange today, so she asked, "Why did Your Highness suddenly think of your Second Aunt today?"
"Nothing." Gu Beiyu shook his head, "When I saw my second uncle in the morning, I didn't dare to ask him these things, so I had to come to my grandmother to ask casually. The second aunt has been away for so many years, and the second uncle has never been willing to marry a wife. It can be seen that he treats him very well. The second aunt is deeply affectionate!"
"This matter..." The old lady hesitated for a moment, "I asked your second uncle on New Year's Eve, and he said that he had no idea of marrying a wife yet, and I don't know what he was thinking. Isn't it a joke to spread the word about the official wife of a principal?"
Gu Beiyu's eyes lighted slightly, "Grandma, if my father insists on marrying my second uncle, do you think he can agree?"
The old lady was shocked, "What did you say?"
Seeing this, Gu Beiyu quickly explained: "Grandmother, don't panic, I'm just making an analogy. The second uncle is now an official in Beijing, and the father is still worried about the disappearance of the second aunt. I'm worried that the father will follow me." This guilt was compensated by the marriage given to the second uncle, and the second uncle is not often in Jinling, so I don’t know what kind of temper he has, and I don’t know if the second uncle will agree to it if there is such a day.”
The old lady is a shrewd person, so she naturally understands that Gu Beiyu can't mention these things for no reason. In the past, when Gu Beiyu came, he would at most just talk about Concubine Shu's recent situation and the interesting things that happened in the palace before leaving. As far as the second master is concerned, it also involves major matters of marriage.
This is so unusual.
The old lady narrowed her eyes, and the old lady looked at Gu Beiyu, "Beiyu, did you hear something?"
Gu Beiyu looked a little helpless, and lowered his voice, "Grandmother, in fact, when Aunt Jiahua saw the second uncle in the morning, I noticed that her complexion was different, but I was not sure whether the emperor's aunt really fell in love with the second uncle at first sight. , That's why I came to you to say this, just want to know if the second uncle has made a private engagement, if not, Beiyu hopes that my grandmother will quickly let the second uncle make a marriage arrangement, what kind of character is my imperial aunt? In Luomeiyuan, my grandmother must have seen it too, if she really got her way, the family will definitely be in turmoil in the future."
Gu Beiyu's indifferent words made the old lady tremble and her expression was at a loss.
Even Jing Se was taken aback. She didn't expect that she guessed right just now. Princess Jiahua really had thoughts about her second uncle.
No!no!For Jing Lan's sake, she must prevent this from happening.
"Grandmother, granddaughter thinks what His Royal Highness said is reasonable." Jing Se interrupted at the right time, "Although our family is an official of the imperial court, we still can't afford to cling to the golden branches and jade leaves of the royal family. The niece you mentioned last time, my granddaughter thinks it's quite good. If grandma is not easy to speak, granddaughter can go to find out for you, once second uncle nods and agrees, we will have this marriage earlier, how about it?"
The old lady came back to her senses after a while, her eyes showed deep helplessness, "Arthur, after all, you are just a daughter, how can you let you do this kind of thing? It's not right."
Jing Se said with a smile: "I can't, isn't there still the second young master? If I can persuade him, I must have won half the battle. The second young master is the son of the eldest son, so the second uncle should be able to listen to his words, right? "
The old lady thought for a moment, and felt that it was reasonable, "Well, I will trouble you to make a trip."
Jing Se bowed her knees, "It's my granddaughter's honor to be able to share the worries of my grandmother."
After some politeness, Jing Se went to the outer courtyard and asked the maid to go in and report.
Not long after, Jing Lan came out. He was wearing a round-neck gown with tufted sleeves embroidered with gold flowers on a white background, a jade belt around his waist, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a pair of high lips under the bridge of his nose. clear his true thoughts.
Seeing Jing Se, Jing Lan seemed a little surprised, "Elder Sister, what do you want me to do?"
Jing Se nodded, "I want to talk to you alone about some private matters."
Jing Lan raised her eyebrows, "My eldest sister and I have always had a selfless relationship, so how can we talk about private matters?"
Judging from this, Jing Lan is unwilling to be alone with her.
Jing Se looked at his eyebrows, as if seeing his proud aunt Yang Qizhen, her expression was slightly dazed.
"Second brother, why don't you just reject me like this without asking me what I plan to do with you?"
Jing Lan smiled, "I have been a rough person since I was a child, I only know how to play with guns and sticks, and I don't know anything about inner houses. My eldest sister came to find me, I'm afraid I found the wrong person."
Jing Se was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Jing Lan to be so unkind, but at the same time she was very happy in her heart, because Jing Lan's behavior showed that he was alone, and like Jing Mingyuan, he was a clean stream in the Right Prime Minister's house.
"What if I'm doing it for my second aunt's sake?" At this point, Jing Se can only hold Jing Lan by throwing some weight.
After Jing Lan heard this, she really froze, her breathing stopped for a long time before a hoarse question came out of her throat, "What did you say?"
Jing Se glanced around and smiled, "This is not a good place to talk, if the second brother is willing, we can go to a quiet place to talk slowly."
"Okay." It was about his biological mother, Jing Lan couldn't calm down no matter what, he followed Jing Se step by step until he entered the empty waterside pavilion.
After Jing Se sat down, she signaled that Jing Lan was also sitting beside her.
Jing Lan shook her head, "I'll just stand there, if you have anything to say, you can say it."
Jing Se looked up at him, the handsome young man's eyes were full of anticipation and anxiety, as if he really wanted to hear the sporadic news about his biological mother from her, but he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the news .
Such a contradictory expression added a bit of sadness to the originally sunny and cheerful boy.
"Second Brother, have you ever wondered where Second Aunt went?"
Jing Lan froze, "I don't know."
At the end, looking at Jing Se, she was a little nervous, "Could it be that elder sister knows the whereabouts of my mother?"
"If I say I know, will you believe me?"
Jing Lan hesitated. In his heart, he really wanted to know any news about his biological mother, but Jing Se had been outside all the time, and it has been less than half a year since she returned home. How could she know the whereabouts of her mother? She must be idle and bored Just kidding yourself?
Seeing Jing Lan hesitating from the corner of the eye, Jing Se knew that he still couldn't fully trust herself.
"Actually, the second aunt didn't leave the Right Prime Minister's Mansion." Jing Se sighed to herself, "It's just that she has been hiding in a place that we can't see."
Jing Lan choked for breath, "Do you really mean what Eldest Sister said?"
"I know it's hard for me to trust you." Jing Se's expression was flat, "But if you can help me with something, I will have a way to let you know all the truth."
Seeing that Jing Lan was still hesitating, she said calmly, "Including how the second aunt disappeared and a little-known secret in the house."
Jing Se's words like this undoubtedly aroused Jing Lan's great curiosity.
He looked sideways at her slightly, "Then tell me, how can I help you?"
*
At nightfall, Gu Beiyu stayed at You Xiang's mansion for dinner, and then went out with Jing Se and others to catch up with the lantern festival.
Jing Wanbai released her restraint, and asked Zisu to dress her up a long time ago. Her black and smooth hair was tied up in a beautiful bun, her eyebrows were trimmed and juicy, surrounded by red hairpins, her rings jingled, and the fragrance wafted like a heavenly maiden.
As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, Jing Wan Bai attracted everyone's attention.
The number one beauty in Xiqin, no matter where she goes, she will wear countless halos because of her beauty.
When Jing Shurao and Jing Nanqing saw it, they felt very uncomfortable. No matter what the occasion, as long as Jing Wanbai was around, they couldn't even compare to the dust in the corner.
Jing Se smiled lightly, she never paid much attention to appearance, so she dressed plainly, wearing a brocade with cloud and geese pattern, wide black and green neckline, long trousers with two breasts, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, and a silver and white emerald pattern brocade on the outside Feather satin cloak, she always likes a single snail bun, with gilt jasper hairpin inserted obliquely, waist as usual, with a quiet appearance and a leisurely body.
Different from Jing Wanbai's cowardice, he can't bear the feeling of flying swallows facing the wind.Jing Se's appearance, at first glance, makes people feel that there is a lightness in the elegance, and an unstoppable nobility in the lightness, neither coquettish nor coquettish, it is just the pure beauty with plain skin and innocent innocence.
This kind of natural beauty is undoubtedly more eye-catching.
Therefore, as soon as Jing Se came out, the eyes that had previously fallen on Jing Wan Bai all came to her side.
Gu Beiyu frowned, and bought a silk scarf from a nearby vendor, and handed it over, "Cousin, you'd better wear a veil when you're going out."
Jing Se couldn't laugh or cry, "Almost all the ladies who come to the Lantern Festival tonight don't wear veils, do you want me to be the target of public criticism?"
Gu Beiyu pursed his lips, "They are them, you are you, how can those vulgar fans be compared with my cousin?"
From the corner of her eye, Jing Se caught a glimpse of Jing Wanbai's face stiffening for a moment, and she said, "Okay, stop talking, I'll just wear it."
After finishing speaking, Jing Se took the veil from Gu Beiyu's hand and was about to put it on.
A voice suddenly came from not far away, and there was no emotion.
"The Third Highness seems to be paying special attention to this son's fiancée?"
As soon as Gu Beiyu heard it, he knew that Fanchen was coming, so he turned around and looked into the distance.
The person walking slowly was wearing a brocade robe with silver patterns and a gold-painted cloak fluttering around. Under the lonely moon, his smile was light, elegant and elegant, and his walking posture was calm and undisturbed.
In an instant, the colorful lanterns around seemed to lose their color. In the shadows, only his phoenix eyes full of stars were rippling, and the starry night was blurred, and the faint fragrance was floating. He smiled slightly, drunk. The city flies and rains.
While Jing Se was in a daze, Fan Chen had already walked up to her and stood still. He deftly took the veil from her hand and put it on for her himself.
In the end, he looked at Gu Beiyu with warm eyes and a faint smile, "Your Majesty the Third Highness has a heart, and I would like to express my thanks to you on behalf of my fiancée."
Since the last time he went to Chu Palace, Gu Beiyu didn't like Fan Chen very much, and always felt that this person was very different from his cousin.
Originally, he thought that Fan Shizi was only interested in his cousin because of his marriage contract, but now looking back, it seems that he didn't understand it. Fan Shizi might care more about his cousin than he imagined.
No!
Gu Beiyu frowned indiscriminately, and suddenly remembered the last time he saw his cousin's child in Chu Palace.
At that time, he was only focused on arguing with Fanchen, and didn't realize what was wrong. He just remembered today that his cousin's baby Haohao was actually in Chu Palace!
His expression froze for a moment, Gu Beiyu had disbelief written all over his face, he glanced at Jing Se and then at Fan Chen.
He suddenly took Jing Se's arm, and went to the sparsely populated place without any explanation.
Jing Se might as well, her arm hurts from being pulled by Gu Beiyu, she frowned, "Beiyu, where are you taking me?"
Obviously, Fan Chen would not let him succeed, he snatched Jing Se back from Gu Beiyu's hands in twos and twos, and raised his eyebrows, "Why, the Third Highness is planning to rob my fiancée in front of my son?"
Right now at the Lantern Festival, Gu Beiyu didn't want to say anything excessive, but just looked at Fan Chen, "Give me a cup of tea, I have something to say to my cousin."
Fanchen pursed his lips, "As your future cousin-in-law, I have the right to listen in on your conversation."
"You!" Gu Beiyu stared, "Can you respect other people's privacy?"
Fan Shen said: "Since there is privacy between you two, if I still stand by and watch, wouldn't it appear that I don't pay enough attention to my fiancée?"
Gu Beiyu gritted his teeth, "There is a 'fiancée' on the left and a 'fiancee' on the right. Don't threaten me with this. Even if you are married, I have the right to talk to my cousin alone!"
Fan Chen didn't care about his words at all, "It is true that I am the one who has a marriage contract with Jing Se, and I will be her husband in the future. Is the Third Highness planning to ask me about the issue of 'fiancée ownership'?"
Gu Beiyu choked, his face turned red and then turned pale. After a long time, he was defeated and let out a low snort, "As long as you listen, just listen, I'm sorry you can't hear any tricks!"
After speaking, he went to the big willow tree on the river bank alone.
Jing Se glanced at Fan Chen.
Fan Chen nodded to her, "Since His Highness the Third Highness has something to say, then we can't save her face."
The corners of Jing Se's mouth twitched slightly. Isn't it called Gu Beiyu's face?
Turning around, Jing Se greeted Jing Shurao and the others, and asked them to go shopping separately and meet up on the bridge after a while.
This opportunity is only available for one day in a year, Jing Nanqing was naturally excited for a long time, and regardless of other things, she started to wander around with her maid.
Jing Shurao and Jing Shudi also walked away after a while.
Accompanied by Zi Su, Jing Wan Bai kept receiving the astonishing gazes from around.
Tonight is the Lantern Festival, which is a good day for men and women to take the opportunity to make love. Jing Se and Fan Chen have a marriage contract, and they usually cannot meet in private, but tonight they can meet in a fair manner. Therefore, no one will feel that this scene is abrupt.
Jing Se and Fan Chen walked to Gu Beiyu's side and stood still.
Gu Beiyu turned around reluctantly, looked at Fan Chen, and asked directly, "Do you know who that child in your house is?"
Fan Chen raised his eyebrows, "Why, His Highness has changed his taste now?"
Gu Beiyu's face turned black, "You answer me yes, why bother to say those hurtful things?"
Fan Chen didn't give a definite answer, but said vaguely: "Since it's in Chu Palace, whose child do you think it could be?"
Gu Beiyu squinted his eyes and looked at Jing Se, who spread his hands to express his helplessness.
Gu Beiyu realized in an instant that Fan Chen already knew Haohao's true identity, and the alarm bells rang in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Is Fan Shizi really able to accept everything about my cousin?"
Fan Chen flicked his sleeves slowly, "Next time we meet, if the Third Highness can change his name to 'cousin-in-law', I may seriously answer your question for the sake of suddenly having a relative."
Gu Beiyu gritted his teeth angrily, "I've never seen such a narrow-minded person like you!"
Fan Chen gave a light "Oh", "Maybe I want to be special, and I can't compare with those broad-minded people you usually get along with. After all, I am your only cousin-in-law! I am special because of the word 'unique' .”
Gu Beiyu: "..."
Seeing that Gu Beiyu was at a disadvantage with a few words, Jing Se hurriedly uttered a word to smooth things over, "Finally, I have a chance to come out, so you two can't be quieter, and you have to compete before you give up? Are you still going to give up this lantern festival?" Do you want to go shopping?"
"Of course I have to go shopping!" Gu Beiyu said, "I have waited half a month for this opportunity, how can I give up so easily."
Jing Se looked at Fan Chen, Fan Chen also nodded, and bought a bamboo basket and stuffed it for Gu Beiyu to carry.
Gu Beiyu looked puzzled.
Fan Chen said slowly: "I know you care about your cousin, so I will do things like carrying the basket for you."
Gu Beiyu was speechless, so he could only silently follow behind the two of them.
Fan Chen only picked heavy things to buy. It didn't take long before the bamboo basket was filled with various small objects. Fan Chen still didn't give up, so he bought another bamboo basket to hang on Gu Beiyu's other arm. When he saw the items on the stall, he bought them. Two bamboo baskets were so full that Gu Beiyu almost bent over.
Jing Se turned her head and saw Gu Beiyu's resentful face, she couldn't bear it, and said, "How about I share one for you?"
Just as Gu Beiyu was moved, Fan Chen looked over, "Your cousin is considerate and considerate. I know that you have been weak and weak since childhood, so I am willing to help you carry so much weight. I am a cousin-in-law for a while. You have to reward him well."
Gu Beiyu's face collapsed, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
Sure enough, within a short while, Fan Chen bought a lot of big things, such as a very heavy lantern, and a flower tree almost as tall as Gu Beiyu.
Gu Beiyu gritted his teeth and quickened his pace to keep up with the two of them, secretly annoyed Fanchen, a black hearted, black liver and black lungs, why didn't he hack himself to death!
Fan Chen clearly heard the sound of grinding his teeth, so he bought a sugar figurine and stuffed it into Gu Beiyu's mouth.
Gu Beiyu glared at him angrily with his hands full: "Hmm..."
"But you think one is not enough?" Fan Chen bought another one and forced it in.
Gu Beiyu's eyes almost popped out.
"Two are not enough?" Fan Chen raised his eyebrows, reaching out to grab the third sugar figurine.
Gu Beiyu shook his head violently, no more!
Jing Se felt a little sympathetic to Gu Beiyu, but with a black-bellied and jealous person like Fan Chen by her side, she couldn't help, otherwise she would only make Gu Beiyu suffer even more.
So, with two candy figurines stuffed into his mouth, with bamboo baskets full on his arms, flower trees on his shoulders, and lanterns tied in his hair, Gu Beiyu quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
The common people were amazed which family's young boy was born so well.
Fan Chen took this opportunity to lead Jing Se around, and quickly got rid of Gu Beiyu.
Standing on the other side of the river, Jing Se looked at Gu Beiyu, who was surrounded by people on the other side, couldn't help laughing, and said to Fan Shen: "He is a prince, don't you think it's a bit too much for you to treat him like this?"
Fan Chen said boldly, "I'm his cousin's husband. He doesn't care about his cousin's feelings and covets his cousin all day long. Why doesn't he think it's too much?"
Jing Se rolled her eyes, "I've said it a hundred or eighty times, we're just cousins, how could the third prince covet me?"
Fan Shen said: "As the future hostess of Chu Palace, you must always remember one sentence, except for me, any man who approaches you is not a good thing."
Jing Se held his forehead, "According to what you said, are there any good people in this world?"
"Yes." Fan Chen solemnly nodded, "I'm the only one."
Jing Se muttered in a low voice, "I don't know who took advantage of others again and again. I haven't bothered with you about what happened at Famen Temple last time. You have a thick skin, and you have long classified yourself as a good person."
Fan Shen said: "I saved you at that time, you just offered a kiss to show your gratitude, how come it turned out to be me taking advantage of others?"
Jing Se frowned, "When did I say thank you in that way?"
Fan Chen raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that I underestimated your enthusiasm, and you originally wanted to make a promise with your body?"
Jing Se was silent for a moment, "I don't want to reason with a shameless pervert like you."
"Well, you're right." Fan Chen nodded in agreement, then calmly said again: "As a pervert, why is it so strange to belittle your fiancée over and over again?"
Jing Se gritted her teeth, thinking she couldn't speak to him, so she bowed her head and walked forward.
Fan Chen followed.
"I'm going back, don't follow me." Jing Se didn't turn her head, and said angrily, she originally came to the Lantern Festival with a happy mood, but who would have thought that Fan Chen would spoil her interest as soon as he came , really boring!
It's better to go back early to see if Su Aoyu has been tricked into madness.
Fan Chen followed her not far away as if he hadn't heard of it.
Jing Se stopped and turned to stare at him, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
"I heard it." Fan Chen looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "It's just that I'm thinking about which identity I should obey your words. If it's a passerby, I have no reason to listen to you, and if it's a friend, I don't necessarily want to listen to you." Listen to you, if it's a husband, then I can't listen to you, after all, no man will let his woman walk alone at night."
Jing Se clenched her fists, "Hey! Are you being reasonable?"
Fan Chen smiled and asked: "Now you want to reason with me, a shameless pervert?"
Jing Se rubbed the throbbing veins on her forehead, "I personally thought that apart from being perverted, you are also shameless!"
Fan Chen's complexion did not change, and he muttered: "You praise me like this once in a while, are you not afraid of my shyness?"
Jing Se held her head in her hands, "Why didn't I realize that you are such a difficult person before?"
Fan Chen took her into his arms smoothly, "If you had found out before, then I would not be your fiancé now, but the husband you share the same bed with."
Jing Se broke free from his arms, "Don't play tricks on me, why don't you see Haohao at the Lantern Festival tonight?"
Fan Shen said: "Someone will take him out to play."
Jing Se was silent for a moment, "Then why don't you ask Haohao who is my child?"
Fan Chen stared at her for a while, then spat out, and asked, "Is it important?"
Jing Se was a little confused, "Isn't it important?"
Fan Chen thought for a while, "Before today, I had never thought about this issue, but since you mentioned it, I might as well think about it."
Jing Se didn't urge her, her heart was beating a drum, but her eyes were looking at his jade-like side face without blinking.
After a long time, Fan Chen looked sideways.
Jing Se's face tightened, "How?"
"I've thought about it." He said lightly, "It's not important."
Jing Se shook his head, an unknown emotion welled up in his heart, it seemed to be moved, but also seemed to be mixed with something else, in short, it was a little sour, but it felt slightly warm.
In fact, up to now, she is already [-] to [-]% sure that Haohao is Fan Chen's child, but she has been unable to find any evidence to prove it, but hearing these words from Fan Chen tonight, she is really moved.
No matter what his feelings and intentions are, at least for now, Fan Chen has no bad intentions towards her, although his mouth is still a bit poisonous, at least he has no malicious intentions.
*
At the same time, Luoxia Pavilion in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the fireworks exploded in mid-air, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside, and all the candlesticks in the upper room where Su Aoyu was located were extinguished, except for a lantern outside the window shining on the east wall.
Su Aoyu shuddered and looked towards the wall, and suddenly let out a terrible cry.
"Ah—ghost—ghost—"
(End of this chapter)
Finally using tricks to get rid of the restraint, Jing Wanbai's appetite also came, and after eating, he went to Luoxia Pavilion.
At that time, Jing Se was reboiling the medicinal juice for Su Aoyu and brought it over. Seeing Jing Wan Bai wandering in the courtyard, Jing Se walked over and asked with a smile: "The third younger sister came to see mother?"
Jing Wanbai looked a little embarrassed, and nodded: "Yes, I wonder if mother is awake now?"
Jing Se said: "I just came back, I don't know very well, why don't you go in and have a look?"
"No." Jing Wan Bai took a step back without any trace, and said: "Eldest sister should go in for me to take a look, I'll go in like this, in case mother falls asleep, it will be a disturbance instead."
Jing Se raised her eyebrows and said nothing more.
A person like Jing Wan Bai is really top-notch, but her biological mother was lying there, but she hesitated because she was afraid of infecting herself, so she just put on a nice name of "I have visited my seriously ill mother", In fact, she still doesn't even know what Su Aoyu has become.
Silent for a long time, Jing Se said: "Since the third sister has been released from the grounds, why don't you go and take care of your mother for half a day. In the evening, there will be a Lantern Festival in Shangyuan. My grandmother told me to prepare well in the morning. I haven't had time to get out yet." , fortunately you are here."
With that said, Jing Se handed Jing Wan Bai the wooden basin filled with bitter concoction.
Jing Wan Bai wrinkled his nose and stepped back, hesitantly said: "Eldest sister, I'm not a doctor after all, I'm afraid that if I don't do well enough to make my mother suffer, you should come here yourself."
"What are you afraid of?" Jing Se snorted, "You are the mother's own daughter, even if you don't do well, she won't blame you, just go, the mother has already soaked in it earlier, She knows what to do."
Jing Wan Bai still hesitated.
Jing Se hit the nail on the head, "Isn't the third sister worried that your mother will get angry with you?"
"Why, how is it possible?" Jing Wan Bai pulled the corner of his mouth, and took the wooden basin with great reluctance, "Since the eldest sister has said so, then I will go there myself."
"That's right." Jing Se glanced at her with a smile, "I'll go in and instruct you how to help mother clean the wound in a while. This kind of thing is not difficult, as long as you study hard, you will understand it in a while."
After speaking, the two opened the curtain together and entered the door.
After half a day of tossing and itching during the day yesterday and a whole night of pain and itching, Su Aoyu still hasn't woken up, lying on the bed, her eyes are sunken, her eyelids are blue and gray, her cheekbones are protruding, her face has no normal color, like a dead person.
Seeing Su Aoyu like this, Jing Wanbai almost shook his hands and dropped the wooden basin to the ground.
Jing Se hurried over to support Jing Wan Bai, "Third Sister, are you alright?"
"No, it's okay." Jing Wanbai leaned over and put the wooden basin on the ground, and then found Xiao Zhuzi to sit down in front of the bed, glanced at Su Aoyu, then at Jing Se, with a worried face, "Eldest sister, is mother ill?" Is it particularly heavy?"
"Yeah." Jing Se didn't hide anything, and nodded, "In short, it won't get better in a while."
"Sister's medical skills are so good, even you can't do anything about it?" Jing Wan Bai is not reconciled, if her mother dies like this, she will have no one to support her in this mansion in the future, then what will happen to her marriage? it is good?
Jing Se sat down beside her, and slowly said: "Third sister, in fact, if you cared more about your mother, don't deal with these moths in exchange for labor, mother will never become like this at all."
As soon as the words fell, Jing Se lifted the arm that Jin was scratched by Su Aoyu and showed it to Jing Wanbai.
With just one glance, Jing Wan Bai felt nauseated in his chest, couldn't stand it, got up hurriedly, covered his mouth and ran out, throwing up in a daze.
Jing se smiled.
When Jing Wanbai sat down earlier, she keenly noticed that Su Aoyu was already awake, but she was just pretending to sleep. The reason why she said those words to Jing Wanbai and made her look at Su Aoyu's arm was all acting, thinking Let Jing Wanbai's ugly face be exposed in front of her biological mother.
As expected, Jing Wan Bai, who was used to rich clothes and fine food since childhood, couldn't bear such a visual impact, and immediately vomited.
When Jing Wan Bai came back, his face was as pale as paper, and his expression was particularly weak.
Jing se thoughtfully gave her a cup of tea to rinse her mouth.
Jing Wan Bai took it and thanked him.
Jing se said: "while my mother is still awake, you will wash her wound in a while. When my mother wakes up, I will tell her that you have been here."
Jing Wan Bai thought of seeing the white and wrinkled arm soaked in the potion just now, and felt disgusted again. This time, he couldn't hold it back, and pulled out a stiff smile, "Sister, I'm not feeling well today. Come back another day, when mother wakes up later, if you tell the truth, I am her biological daughter, even if she comes to see her a few days later, she will not blame me."
Jing Se smiled, "Then, the third sister can go, and I'll see you at the lantern festival tonight."
Jing Wan Bai stood up politely, "Then I'll take my leave."
After Jing Wanbai left, Su Aoyu slowly opened his eyes, which were already filled with tears.
Jing Se sat down, "How does mother feel today?"
Su Aoyu howled all night last night, her voice has long been hoarse, so she can only make a "ho ho" sound from her throat.
Jing Se moved her head closer and asked, "What does mother want to say?"
Su Aoyu stared blankly at the roof of the tent, but still couldn't make a sound, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
Unexpectedly, she never imagined that the daughter she had raised for 15 years was not as good as a stepdaughter. When Jing Wan Bai was disfigured, she was so busy as a mother that she decocted the medicine herself and then took care of her. After feeding, she was still worried that she would not sleep well at night, so she specially asked someone to move a small couch to Jing Wanbai's bedside to accompany her.
In the past few days, it was her mother's turn to be ill, but her biological daughter made such a disgusting gesture.
It was just seeing her injured arm, and she was disgusted like that. How could she be a biological mother?
Seeing Su Aoyu crying, Jing Se knew that she must be extremely annoyed by Jing Wanbai.
Jing Se didn't make a sound, and took out a handkerchief to wipe Su Aoyu's tears, with a filial daughter-in-law look on her face, "Mother, you are seriously ill, you don't want to cry, it hurts your body carefully."
Su Aoyu finally slowed down and was able to speak, she said: "From heart to body, haven't I hurt enough?"
Jing Se smiled lightly, "The third younger sister is only as old as Ji, why are you fussing so much with her?"
"But I am her biological mother." Su Aoyu burst into tears again, "Now that I am in trouble, she not only doesn't care, but is also full of disgust. She doesn't look like a daughter."
After finishing speaking, Su Aoyu looked at Jing Se movedly, "Arthur, I never thought that you were the one who cared about me and took care of me at the critical moment."
Jing Se smiled, "What did my mother say? I was sick in the early years because of my mother. When you first entered the mansion, didn't you just stay in front of the bed and take care of me all day long? Now I take care of you, as it should be."
What Jingse said made Su Aoyu instantly think of the times when she had people buy some superficial tonics that were actually not suitable for Jingse's body and fed her every day in those years, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
At that time, Jing Se was only a few years old. She was not cruel enough to deal with such a little girl, but she hated that Su Leyao would die at that time, so she had to marry Mrs. Jin. The Right Prime Minister's Mansion took care of Su Leyao's daughter, so that she and Zheng Yong would never be able to live together for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, she spread all her grievances on little Jingse, who was only six years old at the time, and hoped that she would die quickly every day.
It's just that she didn't expect the Duke of Jin's wife to care so much about Jing Se's granddaughter, and she didn't know how to persuade the owner of Wangyou Valley, Zong Zhengchu, to agree to take Jing Se in.
Seeing that Jing Se was so favored by the Duke of Jin's wife, Su Aoyu became even more jealous. She was not reconciled, why was she just a side branch of the Su family, and why was she not born in a noble compound like the Duke of Jin's mansion?
So, Su Aoyu tried her best, and finally found an opportunity. When Jing Se came back from Wangyou Valley, she asked Aunt Xue to take a few people to stop Jing Se from drugging her and having an affair with others, which led to her later Unmarried and pregnant, she lost all the love of the elder Jing Yuhuan and was sent to the countryside to fend for herself.
Looking back now, Su Aoyu has no regrets in her heart. At least in the matter of taking care of her, even her own daughter could not do it, but Jing Se did it. Not only did she not dislike her, but she was always concerned about her discomfort. , The soup, medicine and meals are carefully served, lest she will be hungry and cold.
Unable to restrain her emotion, Su Aoyu simply shed tears again, her voice choked up, "My own daughter still dislikes me so much that I dare not get close to me, and throws me aside to go to the Lantern Festival. But you treat me so favorably regardless of the past, Arthur, You are really my good daughter."
Jing Se smiled softly, and said submissively: "I did all this because of my daughter's duty. It doesn't matter if mother remembers it or not. You just need to know that I never harmed you."
Su Aoyu nodded, "I naturally know that you are kind."
Stretching out the other hand to caress Jingse's crow temple, Su Aoyu's voice became softer, "My good boy, you have to go to the Lantern Festival at night, go back and prepare earlier, I can still move, if it relapses later, I will Soak it."
Jing se stood up, bowed her knees and left.
Back in the ear room, Jingse closed the door, took out the little paper figurines she cut last night, and gave Qinger some instructions in a low voice.
Qing'er was heartbroken and nodded repeatedly, "Miss, please rest assured, this matter will be handled properly by this servant."
Jing Se never questioned Qing'er's ability, she nodded, "That's it, as long as you follow my instructions, Su Shi will never be safe tonight."
After explaining everything, Jingse left Luoxia Pavilion and returned to Muyunju. Yingluo, who hadn't seen Jingse for two days, was overjoyed, and quickly greeted her, "Miss Biao, but you don't have to go to Luoxia Pavilion anymore?"
Jing Se laughed, "You little girl, my mother hasn't recovered yet, how could I get away with it?"
Yingluo was disappointed all of a sudden, "So that's the case, then when will you come back?"
"Didn't you come back?" Jingse entered the upper room, took the teacup Yingluo handed over, and said, "Tonight, during the Lantern Festival, the old lady allowed us sisters to go to the moat to light lamps and make wishes. I plan to bring you go"
Yingluo immediately jumped up, "That's great."
Thinking of the last time Miss Biao was assassinated when she went to Famen Temple to offer incense, Yingluo's face collapsed in an instant, "No, no, there are too many people on the street tonight, what should I do if something happens?"
"That shouldn't be the case." Jing Se smiled, "The last time I was in Famen Temple was purely an accident, this time the old lady arranged a lot of guards with strong martial arts skills, and I don't want to be assassinated again."
Yingluo solemnly said: "Then servants will be guarding Miss Biao at every step tonight, even if there are assassins, servants will be able to stand in front of you."
Jing Se couldn't help laughing, "You don't know martial arts, what are you doing in the front?"
Yingluo blinked her big innocent eyes, "Naturally, it's to buy time for Miss Biao to escape."
Jing Se was moved in his heart, but smiled on his face: "In that little head of yours, you think about messy things all day long, stop quickly, or you will become a crow's mouth."
Yingluo came to her senses and hurriedly said "Bah bah" twice, "It's the slave who talks too much, she should be beaten!"
"Go and prepare." Jing Se ordered, "We have to set off after dinner."
Yingluo quickly retreated.
Not long after, a woman from the outer courtyard came to report, "Miss, the Third Highness is here."
Jing Se was stunned for a moment, then stood up and went out to greet her personally with the mother-in-law.
Today's Gu Beiyu is wearing a sapphire blue multicolored embroidered cloud-pattern brocade gown with a round collar and a half-sleeved long-sleeved gown with a dark blue base and a tufted pattern.
He was sitting in the front hall, receiving the hospitality from the maids.
Seeing Jing Se come in, Gu Beiyu immediately showed joy on his face, and stood up with a smile, "Cousin."
"Why is Bei Yu free to come over today?" Jing Se smiled back politely.
Gu Beiyu was stunned and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, maybe my cousin has forgotten?"
"I dare not forget that." Jing Se smiled.
"Did you have a chance to go out during the Shangyuan Festival?" Gu Beiyu's eyes were fixed on her face, "I will stay at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion for dinner in a while, and I will go with you when it is over."
Jing Se was stunned, "Are you going to light lanterns with us?"
"Yeah." Gu Beiyu smiled shyly, "It's the first time I've spent the Lantern Festival with my cousin!"
Jing Se's eyebrows moved, "Before you left the palace, did you tell Concubine Shu and the emperor?"
"I've already said it." Gu Beiyu said, "I specifically went to ask for instructions that I would go back to my grandfather's house during the Shangyuan Festival, and both my father and my concubine agreed."
"That's good." Jing Se breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why, cousin doesn't want me to go with you?" Gu Beiyu saw that her expression was not right, and asked quickly.
"Of course I welcome you if you can come." Jing Se forced a smile, but she was actually worried about Fan Chen.
He will definitely not miss such a good opportunity during the Shangyuan Festival. If he bumps into her and Gu Beiyu together at that time, Fan Chen will definitely overthrow the jealousy.
Gu Beiyu is not a dull person, and he vaguely saw some clues, "Cousin, isn't she worried that the matter of me going with you will be discovered by Brahma?"
Her mind was pierced, and Jing Se couldn't pretend anymore, so she just nodded along the way.
Gu Beiyu's eyes dimmed instantly, "Is his feeling that important to my cousin?"
Jing Se did not intend to expose her relationship with Fan Chen at this time, but said ambiguously: "I didn't mean that, you and I are cousins, there is nothing wrong with you going to the Lantern Festival with me, but Fan Shizi has a bit of a temper Strange, even if there is only a marriage relationship between us and no substantial progress, he doesn't like other men to be so close to me."
Gu Beiyu pulled his heart hard, and said solemnly after a while: "So what, my cousin also said that there is only a marriage relationship between you, and it's all in name. As long as you don't want to, he can take you again." how?"
Jing Se sighed helplessly in her heart, "Beiyu, there are so many sisters in the mansion, why don't you go to them, but to me?"
Gu Beiyu stared at her, "Because none of them are you."
Jing Se was afraid that he would say something shocking to the world next, so she quickly turned her eyes away and changed the subject, "Since you are going to stay for dinner, then I will take you to the old lady's place. She has been talking about you on New Year's Eve, and I just came today , I should go and see you."
When Gu Beiyu saw that she deliberately picked up a topic, he was not annoyed, he slightly curled his lips, and replied, "Okay."
Jing Se quickly took Gu Beiyu to the Millennium Hall.
When the old lady learned that Gu Beiyu had arrived, she was overjoyed and went out to greet her personally with a stick.
Gu Beiyu hurried over to help her, "Grandmother, how dare Beiyu bother you to go out to greet her in person?"
The old lady smiled and said angrily: "Even though you are my grandson, you cannot violate the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. The ancestor's etiquette is there. Do you want me to be criticized even though I am old?"
"How dare Beiyu." Gu Beiyu helped her back to the Nuan Pavilion step by step.
After the old lady sat down safely, Gu Beiyu walked into the hall and kowtowed three times to the old lady, which frightened the old lady so much that she suddenly stood up.
Gu Beiyu ordered the servants who came up behind to bring up the presents, and then said with a smile: "Grandmother, this is Beiyu's New Year's greetings for you. There were many banquets in the palace a few days ago, and the official business at the beginning of the year I'm busy, I haven't had time to visit you, so I will make up for you today."
"Okay, okay." The old lady hurriedly asked Madam Xie to help Gu Beiyu up, "You really are a very filial person, come, come and sit by grandma's side."
Gu Beiyu obediently went over to sit down, and the old lady then chatted with him about the daily routine, asking about the physical condition of Concubine Shu, the emperor and the empress, and about trivial matters. Showing a little impatience, he answered the old lady one by one.
Finally, after the old lady finished asking all the questions, Gu Beiyu was free to speak.
"Grandmother, second uncle is back?"
The old lady nodded, "I came back on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Now it's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Your second uncle has long been working in the Jingwei command and envoy department. You are busy with government affairs, so you don't know about it."
Gu Beiyu hesitated, and said, "I saw him in front of the palace gate this morning."
The old lady smiled and said, "Has he greeted you before?"
"En." Gu Beiyu hesitated slightly, and continued: "In the morning, Aunt Jiahua and I left the palace together, and Second Uncle talked to us for a while before leaving."
The old lady might not be able to see Gu Beiyu's expression, but Jing Se felt something strange when she saw it.
What kind of person is Princess Jiahua? Jingse saw it clearly last time in Luomeiyuan. She lost her son-in-law the year before last, and she has been alone in the vacant room until now. This woman is absolutely impossible to be willing to die alone. Among the brothers, he is the most beautiful and masculine. Is it possible that Princess Jiahua will fall in love with him because of this?
As soon as the idea came out, Jing Se was taken aback by herself, and quickly put away her thoughts.
Gu Beiyu paused for a long time before opening his mouth again, "How is the matter of grandma and second aunt going?"
As soon as the old lady heard it, her expression gradually became gloomy, and she sighed: "Since your second aunt's accident, the imperial court has sent people to help find it, but it has never been successful. Your second uncle can't stay in Jinling too much. The people who were sent to look for it in private didn’t report back with any results.”
Speaking of this, the old lady sighed, "Last year, according to the law, the case of the female prime minister should have been punished by the Nine Clans, but your second aunt is from the Yang family in Changzhou after all, once it is included in the Nine Clans, it will implicate We are in the house, so your eldest uncle and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will try their best to request that only Xia's father, brother, and son be punished, so that the Yang family in Changzhou is not involved. But even so, your second aunt has always been with the Xia family. There is nothing to do with it, even if she comes back now, our family is determined not to stay, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come back, after so many years, who knows whether she is alive or not. Don't ask about this matter in the future Mention it again, otherwise your second uncle will be unhappy when he hears it."
Gu Beiyu understood, and there was a cold light in his downcast eyes.
The reason why Xia Mu died so badly was not caused by the eldest uncle and the prince?
Mrs. Jing felt that Gu Beiyu was a little strange today, so she asked, "Why did Your Highness suddenly think of your Second Aunt today?"
"Nothing." Gu Beiyu shook his head, "When I saw my second uncle in the morning, I didn't dare to ask him these things, so I had to come to my grandmother to ask casually. The second aunt has been away for so many years, and the second uncle has never been willing to marry a wife. It can be seen that he treats him very well. The second aunt is deeply affectionate!"
"This matter..." The old lady hesitated for a moment, "I asked your second uncle on New Year's Eve, and he said that he had no idea of marrying a wife yet, and I don't know what he was thinking. Isn't it a joke to spread the word about the official wife of a principal?"
Gu Beiyu's eyes lighted slightly, "Grandma, if my father insists on marrying my second uncle, do you think he can agree?"
The old lady was shocked, "What did you say?"
Seeing this, Gu Beiyu quickly explained: "Grandmother, don't panic, I'm just making an analogy. The second uncle is now an official in Beijing, and the father is still worried about the disappearance of the second aunt. I'm worried that the father will follow me." This guilt was compensated by the marriage given to the second uncle, and the second uncle is not often in Jinling, so I don’t know what kind of temper he has, and I don’t know if the second uncle will agree to it if there is such a day.”
The old lady is a shrewd person, so she naturally understands that Gu Beiyu can't mention these things for no reason. In the past, when Gu Beiyu came, he would at most just talk about Concubine Shu's recent situation and the interesting things that happened in the palace before leaving. As far as the second master is concerned, it also involves major matters of marriage.
This is so unusual.
The old lady narrowed her eyes, and the old lady looked at Gu Beiyu, "Beiyu, did you hear something?"
Gu Beiyu looked a little helpless, and lowered his voice, "Grandmother, in fact, when Aunt Jiahua saw the second uncle in the morning, I noticed that her complexion was different, but I was not sure whether the emperor's aunt really fell in love with the second uncle at first sight. , That's why I came to you to say this, just want to know if the second uncle has made a private engagement, if not, Beiyu hopes that my grandmother will quickly let the second uncle make a marriage arrangement, what kind of character is my imperial aunt? In Luomeiyuan, my grandmother must have seen it too, if she really got her way, the family will definitely be in turmoil in the future."
Gu Beiyu's indifferent words made the old lady tremble and her expression was at a loss.
Even Jing Se was taken aback. She didn't expect that she guessed right just now. Princess Jiahua really had thoughts about her second uncle.
No!no!For Jing Lan's sake, she must prevent this from happening.
"Grandmother, granddaughter thinks what His Royal Highness said is reasonable." Jing Se interrupted at the right time, "Although our family is an official of the imperial court, we still can't afford to cling to the golden branches and jade leaves of the royal family. The niece you mentioned last time, my granddaughter thinks it's quite good. If grandma is not easy to speak, granddaughter can go to find out for you, once second uncle nods and agrees, we will have this marriage earlier, how about it?"
The old lady came back to her senses after a while, her eyes showed deep helplessness, "Arthur, after all, you are just a daughter, how can you let you do this kind of thing? It's not right."
Jing Se said with a smile: "I can't, isn't there still the second young master? If I can persuade him, I must have won half the battle. The second young master is the son of the eldest son, so the second uncle should be able to listen to his words, right? "
The old lady thought for a moment, and felt that it was reasonable, "Well, I will trouble you to make a trip."
Jing Se bowed her knees, "It's my granddaughter's honor to be able to share the worries of my grandmother."
After some politeness, Jing Se went to the outer courtyard and asked the maid to go in and report.
Not long after, Jing Lan came out. He was wearing a round-neck gown with tufted sleeves embroidered with gold flowers on a white background, a jade belt around his waist, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a pair of high lips under the bridge of his nose. clear his true thoughts.
Seeing Jing Se, Jing Lan seemed a little surprised, "Elder Sister, what do you want me to do?"
Jing Se nodded, "I want to talk to you alone about some private matters."
Jing Lan raised her eyebrows, "My eldest sister and I have always had a selfless relationship, so how can we talk about private matters?"
Judging from this, Jing Lan is unwilling to be alone with her.
Jing Se looked at his eyebrows, as if seeing his proud aunt Yang Qizhen, her expression was slightly dazed.
"Second brother, why don't you just reject me like this without asking me what I plan to do with you?"
Jing Lan smiled, "I have been a rough person since I was a child, I only know how to play with guns and sticks, and I don't know anything about inner houses. My eldest sister came to find me, I'm afraid I found the wrong person."
Jing Se was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Jing Lan to be so unkind, but at the same time she was very happy in her heart, because Jing Lan's behavior showed that he was alone, and like Jing Mingyuan, he was a clean stream in the Right Prime Minister's house.
"What if I'm doing it for my second aunt's sake?" At this point, Jing Se can only hold Jing Lan by throwing some weight.
After Jing Lan heard this, she really froze, her breathing stopped for a long time before a hoarse question came out of her throat, "What did you say?"
Jing Se glanced around and smiled, "This is not a good place to talk, if the second brother is willing, we can go to a quiet place to talk slowly."
"Okay." It was about his biological mother, Jing Lan couldn't calm down no matter what, he followed Jing Se step by step until he entered the empty waterside pavilion.
After Jing Se sat down, she signaled that Jing Lan was also sitting beside her.
Jing Lan shook her head, "I'll just stand there, if you have anything to say, you can say it."
Jing Se looked up at him, the handsome young man's eyes were full of anticipation and anxiety, as if he really wanted to hear the sporadic news about his biological mother from her, but he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the news .
Such a contradictory expression added a bit of sadness to the originally sunny and cheerful boy.
"Second Brother, have you ever wondered where Second Aunt went?"
Jing Lan froze, "I don't know."
At the end, looking at Jing Se, she was a little nervous, "Could it be that elder sister knows the whereabouts of my mother?"
"If I say I know, will you believe me?"
Jing Lan hesitated. In his heart, he really wanted to know any news about his biological mother, but Jing Se had been outside all the time, and it has been less than half a year since she returned home. How could she know the whereabouts of her mother? She must be idle and bored Just kidding yourself?
Seeing Jing Lan hesitating from the corner of the eye, Jing Se knew that he still couldn't fully trust herself.
"Actually, the second aunt didn't leave the Right Prime Minister's Mansion." Jing Se sighed to herself, "It's just that she has been hiding in a place that we can't see."
Jing Lan choked for breath, "Do you really mean what Eldest Sister said?"
"I know it's hard for me to trust you." Jing Se's expression was flat, "But if you can help me with something, I will have a way to let you know all the truth."
Seeing that Jing Lan was still hesitating, she said calmly, "Including how the second aunt disappeared and a little-known secret in the house."
Jing Se's words like this undoubtedly aroused Jing Lan's great curiosity.
He looked sideways at her slightly, "Then tell me, how can I help you?"
*
At nightfall, Gu Beiyu stayed at You Xiang's mansion for dinner, and then went out with Jing Se and others to catch up with the lantern festival.
Jing Wanbai released her restraint, and asked Zisu to dress her up a long time ago. Her black and smooth hair was tied up in a beautiful bun, her eyebrows were trimmed and juicy, surrounded by red hairpins, her rings jingled, and the fragrance wafted like a heavenly maiden.
As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, Jing Wan Bai attracted everyone's attention.
The number one beauty in Xiqin, no matter where she goes, she will wear countless halos because of her beauty.
When Jing Shurao and Jing Nanqing saw it, they felt very uncomfortable. No matter what the occasion, as long as Jing Wanbai was around, they couldn't even compare to the dust in the corner.
Jing Se smiled lightly, she never paid much attention to appearance, so she dressed plainly, wearing a brocade with cloud and geese pattern, wide black and green neckline, long trousers with two breasts, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, and a silver and white emerald pattern brocade on the outside Feather satin cloak, she always likes a single snail bun, with gilt jasper hairpin inserted obliquely, waist as usual, with a quiet appearance and a leisurely body.
Different from Jing Wanbai's cowardice, he can't bear the feeling of flying swallows facing the wind.Jing Se's appearance, at first glance, makes people feel that there is a lightness in the elegance, and an unstoppable nobility in the lightness, neither coquettish nor coquettish, it is just the pure beauty with plain skin and innocent innocence.
This kind of natural beauty is undoubtedly more eye-catching.
Therefore, as soon as Jing Se came out, the eyes that had previously fallen on Jing Wan Bai all came to her side.
Gu Beiyu frowned, and bought a silk scarf from a nearby vendor, and handed it over, "Cousin, you'd better wear a veil when you're going out."
Jing Se couldn't laugh or cry, "Almost all the ladies who come to the Lantern Festival tonight don't wear veils, do you want me to be the target of public criticism?"
Gu Beiyu pursed his lips, "They are them, you are you, how can those vulgar fans be compared with my cousin?"
From the corner of her eye, Jing Se caught a glimpse of Jing Wanbai's face stiffening for a moment, and she said, "Okay, stop talking, I'll just wear it."
After finishing speaking, Jing Se took the veil from Gu Beiyu's hand and was about to put it on.
A voice suddenly came from not far away, and there was no emotion.
"The Third Highness seems to be paying special attention to this son's fiancée?"
As soon as Gu Beiyu heard it, he knew that Fanchen was coming, so he turned around and looked into the distance.
The person walking slowly was wearing a brocade robe with silver patterns and a gold-painted cloak fluttering around. Under the lonely moon, his smile was light, elegant and elegant, and his walking posture was calm and undisturbed.
In an instant, the colorful lanterns around seemed to lose their color. In the shadows, only his phoenix eyes full of stars were rippling, and the starry night was blurred, and the faint fragrance was floating. He smiled slightly, drunk. The city flies and rains.
While Jing Se was in a daze, Fan Chen had already walked up to her and stood still. He deftly took the veil from her hand and put it on for her himself.
In the end, he looked at Gu Beiyu with warm eyes and a faint smile, "Your Majesty the Third Highness has a heart, and I would like to express my thanks to you on behalf of my fiancée."
Since the last time he went to Chu Palace, Gu Beiyu didn't like Fan Chen very much, and always felt that this person was very different from his cousin.
Originally, he thought that Fan Shizi was only interested in his cousin because of his marriage contract, but now looking back, it seems that he didn't understand it. Fan Shizi might care more about his cousin than he imagined.
No!
Gu Beiyu frowned indiscriminately, and suddenly remembered the last time he saw his cousin's child in Chu Palace.
At that time, he was only focused on arguing with Fanchen, and didn't realize what was wrong. He just remembered today that his cousin's baby Haohao was actually in Chu Palace!
His expression froze for a moment, Gu Beiyu had disbelief written all over his face, he glanced at Jing Se and then at Fan Chen.
He suddenly took Jing Se's arm, and went to the sparsely populated place without any explanation.
Jing Se might as well, her arm hurts from being pulled by Gu Beiyu, she frowned, "Beiyu, where are you taking me?"
Obviously, Fan Chen would not let him succeed, he snatched Jing Se back from Gu Beiyu's hands in twos and twos, and raised his eyebrows, "Why, the Third Highness is planning to rob my fiancée in front of my son?"
Right now at the Lantern Festival, Gu Beiyu didn't want to say anything excessive, but just looked at Fan Chen, "Give me a cup of tea, I have something to say to my cousin."
Fanchen pursed his lips, "As your future cousin-in-law, I have the right to listen in on your conversation."
"You!" Gu Beiyu stared, "Can you respect other people's privacy?"
Fan Shen said: "Since there is privacy between you two, if I still stand by and watch, wouldn't it appear that I don't pay enough attention to my fiancée?"
Gu Beiyu gritted his teeth, "There is a 'fiancée' on the left and a 'fiancee' on the right. Don't threaten me with this. Even if you are married, I have the right to talk to my cousin alone!"
Fan Chen didn't care about his words at all, "It is true that I am the one who has a marriage contract with Jing Se, and I will be her husband in the future. Is the Third Highness planning to ask me about the issue of 'fiancée ownership'?"
Gu Beiyu choked, his face turned red and then turned pale. After a long time, he was defeated and let out a low snort, "As long as you listen, just listen, I'm sorry you can't hear any tricks!"
After speaking, he went to the big willow tree on the river bank alone.
Jing Se glanced at Fan Chen.
Fan Chen nodded to her, "Since His Highness the Third Highness has something to say, then we can't save her face."
The corners of Jing Se's mouth twitched slightly. Isn't it called Gu Beiyu's face?
Turning around, Jing Se greeted Jing Shurao and the others, and asked them to go shopping separately and meet up on the bridge after a while.
This opportunity is only available for one day in a year, Jing Nanqing was naturally excited for a long time, and regardless of other things, she started to wander around with her maid.
Jing Shurao and Jing Shudi also walked away after a while.
Accompanied by Zi Su, Jing Wan Bai kept receiving the astonishing gazes from around.
Tonight is the Lantern Festival, which is a good day for men and women to take the opportunity to make love. Jing Se and Fan Chen have a marriage contract, and they usually cannot meet in private, but tonight they can meet in a fair manner. Therefore, no one will feel that this scene is abrupt.
Jing Se and Fan Chen walked to Gu Beiyu's side and stood still.
Gu Beiyu turned around reluctantly, looked at Fan Chen, and asked directly, "Do you know who that child in your house is?"
Fan Chen raised his eyebrows, "Why, His Highness has changed his taste now?"
Gu Beiyu's face turned black, "You answer me yes, why bother to say those hurtful things?"
Fan Chen didn't give a definite answer, but said vaguely: "Since it's in Chu Palace, whose child do you think it could be?"
Gu Beiyu squinted his eyes and looked at Jing Se, who spread his hands to express his helplessness.
Gu Beiyu realized in an instant that Fan Chen already knew Haohao's true identity, and the alarm bells rang in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "Is Fan Shizi really able to accept everything about my cousin?"
Fan Chen flicked his sleeves slowly, "Next time we meet, if the Third Highness can change his name to 'cousin-in-law', I may seriously answer your question for the sake of suddenly having a relative."
Gu Beiyu gritted his teeth angrily, "I've never seen such a narrow-minded person like you!"
Fan Chen gave a light "Oh", "Maybe I want to be special, and I can't compare with those broad-minded people you usually get along with. After all, I am your only cousin-in-law! I am special because of the word 'unique' .”
Gu Beiyu: "..."
Seeing that Gu Beiyu was at a disadvantage with a few words, Jing Se hurriedly uttered a word to smooth things over, "Finally, I have a chance to come out, so you two can't be quieter, and you have to compete before you give up? Are you still going to give up this lantern festival?" Do you want to go shopping?"
"Of course I have to go shopping!" Gu Beiyu said, "I have waited half a month for this opportunity, how can I give up so easily."
Jing Se looked at Fan Chen, Fan Chen also nodded, and bought a bamboo basket and stuffed it for Gu Beiyu to carry.
Gu Beiyu looked puzzled.
Fan Chen said slowly: "I know you care about your cousin, so I will do things like carrying the basket for you."
Gu Beiyu was speechless, so he could only silently follow behind the two of them.
Fan Chen only picked heavy things to buy. It didn't take long before the bamboo basket was filled with various small objects. Fan Chen still didn't give up, so he bought another bamboo basket to hang on Gu Beiyu's other arm. When he saw the items on the stall, he bought them. Two bamboo baskets were so full that Gu Beiyu almost bent over.
Jing Se turned her head and saw Gu Beiyu's resentful face, she couldn't bear it, and said, "How about I share one for you?"
Just as Gu Beiyu was moved, Fan Chen looked over, "Your cousin is considerate and considerate. I know that you have been weak and weak since childhood, so I am willing to help you carry so much weight. I am a cousin-in-law for a while. You have to reward him well."
Gu Beiyu's face collapsed, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
Sure enough, within a short while, Fan Chen bought a lot of big things, such as a very heavy lantern, and a flower tree almost as tall as Gu Beiyu.
Gu Beiyu gritted his teeth and quickened his pace to keep up with the two of them, secretly annoyed Fanchen, a black hearted, black liver and black lungs, why didn't he hack himself to death!
Fan Chen clearly heard the sound of grinding his teeth, so he bought a sugar figurine and stuffed it into Gu Beiyu's mouth.
Gu Beiyu glared at him angrily with his hands full: "Hmm..."
"But you think one is not enough?" Fan Chen bought another one and forced it in.
Gu Beiyu's eyes almost popped out.
"Two are not enough?" Fan Chen raised his eyebrows, reaching out to grab the third sugar figurine.
Gu Beiyu shook his head violently, no more!
Jing Se felt a little sympathetic to Gu Beiyu, but with a black-bellied and jealous person like Fan Chen by her side, she couldn't help, otherwise she would only make Gu Beiyu suffer even more.
So, with two candy figurines stuffed into his mouth, with bamboo baskets full on his arms, flower trees on his shoulders, and lanterns tied in his hair, Gu Beiyu quickly attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
The common people were amazed which family's young boy was born so well.
Fan Chen took this opportunity to lead Jing Se around, and quickly got rid of Gu Beiyu.
Standing on the other side of the river, Jing Se looked at Gu Beiyu, who was surrounded by people on the other side, couldn't help laughing, and said to Fan Shen: "He is a prince, don't you think it's a bit too much for you to treat him like this?"
Fan Chen said boldly, "I'm his cousin's husband. He doesn't care about his cousin's feelings and covets his cousin all day long. Why doesn't he think it's too much?"
Jing Se rolled her eyes, "I've said it a hundred or eighty times, we're just cousins, how could the third prince covet me?"
Fan Shen said: "As the future hostess of Chu Palace, you must always remember one sentence, except for me, any man who approaches you is not a good thing."
Jing Se held his forehead, "According to what you said, are there any good people in this world?"
"Yes." Fan Chen solemnly nodded, "I'm the only one."
Jing Se muttered in a low voice, "I don't know who took advantage of others again and again. I haven't bothered with you about what happened at Famen Temple last time. You have a thick skin, and you have long classified yourself as a good person."
Fan Shen said: "I saved you at that time, you just offered a kiss to show your gratitude, how come it turned out to be me taking advantage of others?"
Jing Se frowned, "When did I say thank you in that way?"
Fan Chen raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that I underestimated your enthusiasm, and you originally wanted to make a promise with your body?"
Jing Se was silent for a moment, "I don't want to reason with a shameless pervert like you."
"Well, you're right." Fan Chen nodded in agreement, then calmly said again: "As a pervert, why is it so strange to belittle your fiancée over and over again?"
Jing Se gritted her teeth, thinking she couldn't speak to him, so she bowed her head and walked forward.
Fan Chen followed.
"I'm going back, don't follow me." Jing Se didn't turn her head, and said angrily, she originally came to the Lantern Festival with a happy mood, but who would have thought that Fan Chen would spoil her interest as soon as he came , really boring!
It's better to go back early to see if Su Aoyu has been tricked into madness.
Fan Chen followed her not far away as if he hadn't heard of it.
Jing Se stopped and turned to stare at him, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
"I heard it." Fan Chen looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "It's just that I'm thinking about which identity I should obey your words. If it's a passerby, I have no reason to listen to you, and if it's a friend, I don't necessarily want to listen to you." Listen to you, if it's a husband, then I can't listen to you, after all, no man will let his woman walk alone at night."
Jing Se clenched her fists, "Hey! Are you being reasonable?"
Fan Chen smiled and asked: "Now you want to reason with me, a shameless pervert?"
Jing Se rubbed the throbbing veins on her forehead, "I personally thought that apart from being perverted, you are also shameless!"
Fan Chen's complexion did not change, and he muttered: "You praise me like this once in a while, are you not afraid of my shyness?"
Jing Se held her head in her hands, "Why didn't I realize that you are such a difficult person before?"
Fan Chen took her into his arms smoothly, "If you had found out before, then I would not be your fiancé now, but the husband you share the same bed with."
Jing Se broke free from his arms, "Don't play tricks on me, why don't you see Haohao at the Lantern Festival tonight?"
Fan Shen said: "Someone will take him out to play."
Jing Se was silent for a moment, "Then why don't you ask Haohao who is my child?"
Fan Chen stared at her for a while, then spat out, and asked, "Is it important?"
Jing Se was a little confused, "Isn't it important?"
Fan Chen thought for a while, "Before today, I had never thought about this issue, but since you mentioned it, I might as well think about it."
Jing Se didn't urge her, her heart was beating a drum, but her eyes were looking at his jade-like side face without blinking.
After a long time, Fan Chen looked sideways.
Jing Se's face tightened, "How?"
"I've thought about it." He said lightly, "It's not important."
Jing Se shook his head, an unknown emotion welled up in his heart, it seemed to be moved, but also seemed to be mixed with something else, in short, it was a little sour, but it felt slightly warm.
In fact, up to now, she is already [-] to [-]% sure that Haohao is Fan Chen's child, but she has been unable to find any evidence to prove it, but hearing these words from Fan Chen tonight, she is really moved.
No matter what his feelings and intentions are, at least for now, Fan Chen has no bad intentions towards her, although his mouth is still a bit poisonous, at least he has no malicious intentions.
*
At the same time, Luoxia Pavilion in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the fireworks exploded in mid-air, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside, and all the candlesticks in the upper room where Su Aoyu was located were extinguished, except for a lantern outside the window shining on the east wall.
Su Aoyu shuddered and looked towards the wall, and suddenly let out a terrible cry.
"Ah—ghost—ghost—"
