Chapter 269 Prevent anyone from being a peacemaker (one more)
As for the young prince, the wife of the seventh prince just married was the Princess of Fanbang. Where can the princess of Fanbang be seen? The wife of the eighth prince can compete with each other, but Rong Jingsi promised marriage to He Yin, and the He family and the Rong family are also considered in-laws, so there is no need to compare.
Madam Lan thought she could see clearly, so she patted her mouth lightly and smiled apologized, "It's still the third girl who thinks carefully. The old slave is almost misleading the girl. It's a sin."
"Mum, don't blame yourself." Rong Jingqiu hurriedly stopped him. He really didn't like Mama Lan's self-punishment behavior. Although it would not cause any substantial harm, it always looked a bit annoying.
However, Madam Lan's favorability towards Rong Jingqiu is constantly rising. After all, who doesn't like to mess with the servants will not like it? She originally thought that she would have to run back and forth several times before Rong Jingqiu could confirm the clothes and jewelry for attending the royal family banquet. How could she have made such a easy decision? How much effort would it save her?
She was extremely satisfied when she left. When she went back to report her life, there would definitely be a few more good things to say to Rong Jingqiu in front of her to ease the relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren.
"Girl, these clothes are all good in color, and they will look good whenever they wear them." Lin An, who was carefully looking through the new clothes, wished he could take them to Rong Jingqiu's body to gesture.
"That's right, I see this begonia red one, which can make the girl's skin look better." Zhu'er quickly picked out what she liked and gave it to Rong Jingqiu to see.
This color was not what Rong Jingqiu liked, so she said, "It's too beautiful, it's not like to show off. Besides, Princess Dora has just gotten married, so she must have worn red clothes. What should I do to steal her from the limelight?"
Low-key is the principle of being a human being. She and Zhao Yu have not gotten married yet. The more unobtrusive she is, the better. Otherwise, some people will definitely say that she doesn’t know that the world is so high, so why should she make such a fishy outfit?
Upon hearing this, Zhu'er put down the clothes in a little disappointed manner.
Lin An actually thought that the begonia red dress looked good, but what her girl said was right. It would be no good to offend Princess Fanbang for nothing, so she threw the begonia red dress behind her and looked something else.
Rong Jingqiu looked at the pile of clothes bored and lazily. Rong Fu was quite generous this time. The winter clothes were already expensive, not to mention that these were all made of good materials? She was really dazzling. She pointed to a primrose-colored piece, "I think that one is good, and this color looks lively."
Then Lin An took out a pile of inconspicuous primrose-colored clothes from the piles, and held them in his hand and looked left and right, but he was still a little dissatisfied, "Will the girl be a little plainer? This color doesn't look very festive."
"The Seventh Prince's concubine who just got married needs to consider whether she is happy or not. I'm going to make up the numbers. What should I consider?" Rong Jingqiu said, as long as there is no mistake anyway.
Lin An thought about it and it was the same, "Anyway, the girl is in her prime and looks good no matter how she wears it."
Rong Jingqiu smiled and said, "Why do we keep this saying to you? I'm just trying to get rid of Nanny Lan, and I'll let her bother me when I'm old." After a pause, "There will always be a day when people get old, and no matter how good the appearance is, it can't stand the passage of time. If you really care about this, it will be superficial. How long can the flowers be bright?"
It is sad to serve people in love. When wrinkles climb onto their faces, they are no longer young, and the person next to them will shout that their faces are disgusting, which will really make them lose all their thoughts.
She hopes that her partner can still treat her as old as before when she gets old. This is the unwavering relationship.
At this moment, the curtain was picked up, "I heard some bright flowers from afar? What are you talking about?"
When Rong Jingqiu heard this, she immediately looked at the curtain with joy. Sure enough, Princess Qinglan stood there pretty. She hurriedly stepped forward and said happily, "I just received your letter before, saying that I would not return in two days, why did I come back so soon?"
"The Queen Mother asked me to attend the family dinner at Laoshi, and then I ended the winter hunting early and rushed back." Princess Qinglan's hands suddenly stretched out from behind, and handed a pure white fox fur scarf to Rong Jingqiu like offering treasures. "Look, this is what I hunted for you. When I saw this fox, I thought of you."
He stepped forward and put the pure white fox fur scarf on Rong Jingqiu's neck. She took two steps back and looked, "It looks good, it sets off your skin color."
Rong Jingqiu touched the soft fox fur. The one he had shaken before saw clearly that there was no miscellaneous fur. Hunting such a fox must have taken a lot of thought. If it was given by someone else, she would definitely not accept it. But this was a gift from a good sister, so she said openly, "Then I will be disrespectful."
Princess Qinglan waved her hand happily and said, "It's all you have to do, why are you and I still polite?"
Rong Jingqiu pulled Princess Qinglan into the inner room for tea. At this moment, Lin An and others had already packed up the clothes and jewelry. The two of them sat down. Princess Qinglan took the lead and said, "I just returned to Beijing and heard that Rong Jingdong was dead? Why didn't you mention a word in your letter, which surprised me very much?"
When he mentioned Rong Jingdong, Rong Jingqiu's smile suffocated slightly, and then he told the whole story. Princess Qinglan was stunned by this, but soon she said dissatisfied again, "I didn't expect that it was her and Wu Tingyu who poisoned you. This heart was too cruel. According to me, it was too cheap to send her a bowl of poison soup to the road. She should torture her and then call her to die."
The room was very hot. Rong Jingqiu took off the fox scarf on her neck and loosened her neck bones and said, "It would be nice to deal with it like this at that time, otherwise she would be upsetting now."
Princess Qinglan thought a little and knew that what Rong Jingqiu said was reasonable. Such a poisoning case is the most difficult for the murderer to commit suicide. After all, the family is protected. What can you do? Most of them can only kill teeth and blood, otherwise what else can you think? You can't kill each other, right? Such remarks are absolutely indispensable.
Thinking of this, her chin blinked towards the direction where Rong Jin was, "Your mother?"
Rong Jingqiu said calmly, "It's all this in her life. She is so sick now that I won't be angry with her anymore. I'm afraid I won't meet again in the future."
Princess Qinglan couldn't help but sigh and reached out to hold Rong Jingqiu's hand tightly. She knew that this little sister was eager for family affection, otherwise she would not have put so much effort into Rong Jin before. In the end, the mother and daughter still broke into a rift.
"I'm fine." Rong Jingqiu smiled, "It's hard to meet relatives. I may have so many fates with her. She shouldn't want to be a mother and daughter with me in the next life."
"You and me, no matter what you want to do, I will support you." Princess Qinglan said very firmly.
Rong Jingqiu looked thoughtful, but after thinking about it, she still didn't plan to add Princess Qinglan to her escape plan, and she didn't want to implicate her.
The two hadn't seen each other for a while and there was endless things to say. When Jin San came to pick up Princess Qinglan, Princess Qinglan was reluctant to leave and wanted to stay with Rong Jingqiu for dinner. In the end, Jin San compromised.
Rong Jingqiu also left him. With Princess Qinglan here, it would be unnecessary to avoid suspicion.
Taking advantage of Princess Qinglan's toilet and walking away, Jin San said to Rong Jingqiu, "I just went to see my aunt, and her condition seems to be getting worse and worse. Cousin, you and her..."
He had accompanied Princess Qinglan to the royal yard to hunt in winter, so he missed a lot of things in the capital. After returning to Beijing, he realized that Rong Jingdong's cousin had passed away. He was shocked no less than his fiancee Princess Qinglan. One of the purposes of this trip was to comfort his aunt Rong Jin.
But when he heard such explosive news, his aunt was still worried and never opened her eyes. No matter how much he comforted him, he was just scratching his itchy. The knot in his aunt's heart still had to be untied by Rong Jingqiu himself.
"Three cousin, don't mention this matter again. My mother won't be happy to see me, and I don't want to get upset when I get in the way of her eyes." Rong Jingqiu immediately spoke to stop Jin San from being the peacemaker.
Jin San sighed, "I don't judge who is right or wrong among you. After all, it's hard for a clean official to make a decision. She has always loved to be stubborn. She is the dead end she has sought, and she has nothing to do with others." After pausing for a while, "But what's wrong with aunt? She..."
"Why is that right?" Princess Qinglan, who was turning around, just heard this sentence, immediately glared at Jin San with his eyebrows, "If you are a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, then our marriage will fail. I will not marry a fool like you, so that the children in the future will not be able to follow suit and not even have a view of right and wrong."
"Where are you talking about this?" Jin San hurriedly got up and approached Princess Qinglan, coaxed her, "Okay, okay, I'm saying the wrong thing, I'll pour tea for you." He immediately picked up the tea bowl on the table and handed it to Princess Qinglan.
Princess Qinglan glanced at him sideways, and he knew what he knew, so he took the tea bowl he handed over and said, "Don't learn from your aunt's trick, otherwise it will harm the future of the Ningjing Marquis' Mansion."
She could see clearly that Rong Jinshi not only did not teach Rong Jingdong well, but also did not teach her only son Rong Hong well. She had been to and from the Marquis' Mansion many times. She naturally heard the rumors about Rong Hong. She sneered at such a heir to the Marquis' Mansion in her heart, and was also worried about Rong Jingqiu that her mother's family was the backing of a woman after she got married. There was a brother who could not be helped up like this. It would be certain that Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion would go downhill in the future. Anyway, she was not optimistic about the continued glory of this family.
Of course, she couldn't say these words, even if Rong Jingqiu didn't care, she couldn't poke her heart. No one wanted to see her parents' decline. Rong Jingqiu showed no care, which was also related to her interests.
But not only Jin San understood this mere sentence, but also Rong Jingqiu understood it. Princess Qinglan looked down on Rong Hong.
Rong Hong, who was about to let the maid inform him outside the door, happened to hear Princess Qinglan's words, and immediately shivered. Even if he was stupid, he could hear Princess Qinglan mocking him. How could he not feel embarrassed or angry?
He didn't want to come to see Rong Jingqiu, but Jin San's cousin came to the mansion and he had just returned from the house. He always had to meet the previous one when he came back, so he arrived at Rong Jingqiu's yard.
I never thought that I heard others ridicule him.
If a person says he is not good, he will not take it seriously. If two people say he is not good, he will only laugh it off. However, if a group of people say he is not good, he will have to reflect on whether he is really that bad?
Rong Jingdong's death split the family affection of the second house. Everyone seemed to be escaping and did not want to see each other. My father had not stepped into the backyard for a long time, and his mother became more and more confused. He also wanted to escape from all this on the excuse of having to be busy with something.
But now looking at it, is he wrong?
"Why is the second young master standing here?"
Rong Hong came to his senses and recognized at first glance that this was the capable maid beside Rong Jingqiu. So he said with a stern face, "Go in and invite the young master of the Jin family to come out."
Lin Lan'er frowned, but did not refuse. She immediately nodded and then lifted the curtain and went in. She didn't want the second young master to come in and get angry with her girl.
When Jin Sanyi heard Rong Hong come to find him, he immediately accused the two daughters of guilt, and then he was able to let Rong Hong go.
After not seeing each other for a while, Rong Hong was so haggard that his cousin couldn't blame him too much, so he put his neck on his shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's have a drink."
Rong Hong felt relieved when he saw that his cousin's expression remained the same.
The two cousins were drinking, and Rong Hong, who had something to do, couldn't help but drink a few more glasses to relieve his worries. He soon got drunk and couldn't help but talk nonsense, "Is it useless? I can't handle it at home or outside..."
His new position has not yet been completed, which inevitably makes him a little setback. Because of some quarrel with his father, he did not seek help from his father. He thought that he could handle it without borrowing the power of his family. Now it seems that he is overestimating himself.
Jin San was slightly stunned. He rarely saw Rong Hong, who was unconfident, and immediately snatched the wine pot in his hand, "Okay, stop drinking it anymore, you're drunk."
"I'm not drunk, I can drink more..." Rong Hong reached out to grab the wine pot in Jin San's hand.
During this period, he couldn't even find someone to express his thoughts. In the past, Wen Ruyi could comfort him, but now even Wen Ruyi couldn't make him happy. He was holding a breath in his heart and took this opportunity to vent.
Seeing him like this, Jin San gave him the wine pot. Forget it, let him get drunk and relieve his worries.
When Rong Ma came in, both of them became drunks. The smell of alcohol in the room was full of wine. She pinched her nose in disgust and found someone to take Jin San to the next room. This was where Rong Hong lived, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.
When facing Rong Hong, she felt even more disgusted, so she directly asked someone to give him a big bowl of quenching soup, but others still slept to death.
She curled her lips and told someone to take good care of it. Then she turned around and left. She personally went to Rong Jingqiu's yard and told Princess Qinglan that the Jin family's cousin was drunk.
Princess Qinglan said dissatisfiedly, "Let him die of drunkenness, don't worry about him."
