"But I feel really unhappy if I don't say it." Li Jinxiu stared at Huan Ci and said.
"Then tell me." Huan Ci found a seat and sat down impatiently, then turned to look at Fu Shen who said nothing.
Fu Shen also turned his head and looked at her. His eyes followed her eyes to her chest, and his face became more and more gloomy.
Li Jinxiu originally planned to talk to her alone, but Fu Shen remained motionless as if he was nailed to the chair.
He had heard from his mother about these two people, and he had also seen it with his own eyes in the academy, but he didn't know that Fu Shen was still so open about it. Li Jinxiu had no choice but to explain it in front of him.
It turned out that a few days after he and Huan Ci arranged their marriage, his best friend from childhood became seriously ill. He went to Yongzhou to visit his best friend and took care of him for some time. When he returned to Bingzhou, everything was fine.
It's too late.
He accused his father and mother of breaking off the engagement without consulting him and spreading rumors about Huan Ci. But his father beat him severely and accused him of not being able to attend the Autumn Palace because he was a useless person.
The cripple in his father's words was his childhood best friend, the youngest son of General Kong. The two families used to have a very close relationship, but since the Kong family committed a crime and had their home confiscated, the father and mother turned against each other and disowned each other.
At that time, most of the men in the Kong family were beheaded and the women were used as official prostitutes. Only Kong Lin and his brother were sent to Yongzhou as slaves. But Kong Lin's brother could not bear the humiliation and secretly committed suicide at night.
Kong Lin was only ten years old at that time, but he managed to survive on his own. There is no limit to the road ahead. He met a good host in Yongzhou, and he gradually gained some favor because of his knowledge. Since then, the two have been exchanging letters and developing feelings.
Much deeper than before.
But more than three years ago, plague appeared in Yongzhou, and Kong Lin was also unfortunately infected. Li Jinxiu originally thought that he would not be able to escape the disaster, so he went to Yongzhou to see him for the last time, but the boy actually survived again.
However, after this back and forth and staying in Yongzhou for a while, he not only didn't know that his parents had broken off the engagement for him, but he also missed taking the imperial examination.
"I'm so sorry for you. I have sent people to try to clarify those rumors over the years, but unfortunately the results have been very little. I have always wanted to meet you, but both your father and my mother are watching me closely." Li Jinxiu said softly.
.
"This is none of your business, you don't have to take it to heart all the time." Huan Ci said with emotion.
He knew General Kong's family and had interactions with them.
Their ancestors were from Yingdu, and they moved to Bingzhou because of General Kong. The Kong family had a close personal relationship with the Li family in Jinyang, and they did not often interact with their father.
When Huan Ci was ten years old, Zong Zhengyuan first rose to power. Within a year of taking office, he ransacked the homes of several officials, one of whom was General Kong.
She had heard these things from others, but Huan Ci still remembered that she was playing around at General Kong's house and ended up falling off the rockery. General Kong held her in his arms and coaxed her for a long time. These scenes are often seen now.
appeared before Huan Ci's eyes.
If Li Jinxiu is telling the truth, then he is a kind and righteous person. It is indeed unfair to blame him for what his mother and father did. Besides, it has been too long, Huan Ci
I no longer want to worry about it.
"Why did you come to Puzhou this time?" Huan Ci looked at him curiously.
"Last year I took the Qiuwei examination and passed the examination. I originally planned to go to Yingdu to take the examination in February. It was not because the war had postponed that I was delayed until now. I heard that you and the prince were engaged, so I came to Puzhou specially.
I want to restore your innocence, it’s all my fault.”
"You know the prince?"
"I was a queen in the palace when I was a child, and I know the prince well. When he went to Bingzhou before, he also stayed in my house for a few days."
