Chapter 93
Pei Yancong didn't mention his parents, but glossed over the issue. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Crown Prince, he brought up the matter of Song Yunzhao's kidnapping. "How does the Crown Prince plan to deal with this matter?"
Song Yunzhi had already seen the anxiety on his face. Zhao Jie L was going to marry into the Duke's Mansion in the future, so she was half a member of the Duke's Mansion. So he asked, "What do you think?"
Pei Yancong said, "Han Zhang believes that the robbers are so brazen as to openly rob the princess. This is unforgivable both publicly and privately. They should be eliminated as soon as possible..."
Song Yunzhi didn't say anything.
Pei Yancong saw his hesitation and didn't quite understand what he was thinking. The prince always protected Aruo. This time Aruo was robbed, wouldn't he be angry?
Pei Yancong's expression became increasingly anxious. "If it were any other girl, she would report a robbery to the authorities and seek justice. But Aruo is a princess, a daughter of a royal family. How terrified must she be to suffer such a calamity? If the Crown Prince had been too late, the consequences would have been disastrous. If word got out, how would your reputation be..."
Song Yunzhi raised his eyes. How could it be spread out?
Pei Yancong shut up.
"Aruo's reputation won't be ruined." Song Yunzhi reassured him and said slowly, "Her current misfortune is revenge against me. I will handle this matter. You just came here, go change your clothes first, and bring Aruo to the banquet tonight."
——
Not long after Pei Yancong left, the guard came in and reported, "Madam Qian is here."
Song Yunzhi had a gloomy face for the whole day, but finally a trace of emotion appeared on his face. Then he heard the guard say, "Again, he left again."
Qian Tong just left.
After hearing that the young master from Kyoto had arrived, he specially bought some food and planned to come over to say hello. When he arrived at the prefectural government, he saw that Prince Song was summoning him, so he waited outside without letting anyone in to pass on the message. He turned back halfway through, and casually tossed a piece of Yangzhou specialty braised pork he had just bought to Fu Yin, "Feed it to the dog."
Fu Yin took it, looked over it over and over for a while, then looked at Qian Tong and said, "Feed it to this servant."
Qian Tong: ...
"Is your master usually short of food and clothing than you?"
Fu Yin shook her head and said with a smile, "It smells so good, I can't bear to throw it away. If you're unhappy, I'll go buy you a pot of wine and get you drunk to relieve your sorrow."
That evening, the 'two dogs' got drunk.
Qian Tong has always been a good drinker and had good drinking habits. After drinking two pots of wine, she fell down and couldn't get up. Fu Yin knew this would be the result, so she prepared a pillow for her early on. After helping her lie down, she fed her some sobering soup.
Qian Tonghao Ziqi: "Why aren't you drunk?"
Fu Yin smiled at her, "I didn't drink. My mistress is by my side. I have to watch over her safety at all times. How could I dare to get drunk? I am satisfied just by watching her get drunk."
That was really a thank you to her. Qian Tong rolled his eyes and said, "We have Fu Yin, who is such a good person."
Fu Yin was not annoyed and handed the soup spoon to her mouth: "My wife is the best. Come, drink the hangover soup and have a good sleep."
Fu Yin was not trying to coax her. The words "My wife is the best son" had become her untouchable reverse scale, and no one could refute her.
There is never a shortage of compassionate people in this world. They will shake their heads and sigh when they see someone starving to death, and they will shed tears when they see someone struggling to survive, but they will never share the last bit of food in their hands.
But my wife can.
The Qian family was not extremely wealthy, and only a few people knew that the warehouse was empty from beginning to end. During the two most difficult years, my wife also chewed tree roots.
When she learned that the life-saving steamed bun she had eaten was the last bit of food for her mistress, she decided, "I will watch my mistress enjoy delicious food for the rest of her life."
After Fu Yin finished feeding her the hangover soup, she lifted her head and gently massaged it. "My lady, if you don't want to go to Kyoto, I will accompany you in Yangzhou."
Qian Tong started to feel dizzy and regretted drinking too much. She smiled and said, "Why are you accompanying me? I'm not going to marry you..."
Fu Yin also laughed: "Yes, my wife will only marry the prince..."
Now that you're drunk like this, don't think about the bad things or people anymore. Qian Tong cleared his mind under the influence of alcohol. He was about to fall asleep when Fu Yin suddenly shook her. A voice drifted in from far away, "My wife, the prince..."
Qian Tong felt dizzy and impatient, "What a jerk! I've already broken up with him. Oh, go tell Madam Qian that there's no need to plan the wedding, and don't send out the invitations that haven't been sent out yet, for fear that she'll be embarrassed..."
Fu Yin went to cover her mouth, "Madam, it's the prince..."
Knowing that she was talking about the prince, Qian Tong felt dizzy and ignored her, and decided to get some sleep first.
But she did not sleep well. In her dream, she was trapped in the bed and kissed all over. The man was incredibly strong and a little violent. His lips moved between her teeth and neck, as if he wanted to swallow her into his stomach and gnaw on her bones.
As a result, her whole body ached.
If she saw a bright red tooth mark, she would wonder if she had suffered sleep paralysis last night.
.
Qian Tong was quite speechless, rubbing his sore arm. It was probably because of his head. He sneaked into the other party's house at night and took advantage of the other party's drunken sleep.
But... she won't admit defeat even if I bite her.
With bite marks all over his body, he didn't want anyone to see them. Qian Tong endured the pain and stood up to find some clothes. Just as he put them on, he saw Fu Yin rushing in. She said anxiously, "Madam, the prefectural government office caught fire last night, and Prince Pingchang ran away. Madam Song almost didn't make it out of the flames..."
Fu Yin has been following Qian Tong for so many years that she knows how to talk about important things.
Qian Tong was startled, completely sober from the previous night's drinking. Without even bothering to wash up, he hurriedly put on his clothes, letting his hair hang loose as he hurried out. As he walked, he asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"
Fu Yin then grabbed the maid who came to report the news and put her on the carriage, and asked her to explain in detail.
"Yesterday evening, the prince released Young Master Duan and gave him fifty lashes in front of the young princess and the young master. He then had him dragged back to his room and told him to leave the prefectural government immediately after his injuries healed..."
After ten lashes, a large amount of blood oozed out of Duan Yuanjin's back.
Song Yunzhao couldn't bear it and even cried and begged Song Yunzhi for mercy, "Brother, don't hit the good boy or the bad boy. He did nothing wrong. He has never hurt me. He is a good man. If you continue to hit him, you will beat him to death..."
Song Yunzhi remained indifferent.
Song Yunzhao even brought up the copper coins: "If he dies, how will my brother explain to my sister-in-law..."
Song Yunzhi insisted on having Duan Yuanjin whipped fifty times. After that, Duan Yuanjin had already fainted. Song Yunzhao was crying bitterly and the young master covered her eyes and carried her back to the room.
At night, Prince Song held a banquet for the young master, but she did not attend.
The young master knew that she was frightened and had no appetite. After toasting with the prince for a glass of wine, he hurried away and went to Song Yunzhao's room, where he stayed and talked with her until half the night.
Soon after leaving, something happened.
Duan Yuanjin's house caught fire.
As the fire started, it was surrounded by thick smoke. The guards were unable to put out the fire, and it quickly spread to the entire courtyard. Prince Song was not at home, so Wang Zhao was alone. He hurriedly got up from the couch and rushed over. As soon as he reached the door, he heard a maid crying, "Madam Song is still in the kitchen, she is decocting medicine..."
Wang Zhao took one look at the sea of fire in front of him and was so scared that his legs went limp.
Just as he was about to rush in to save people, he saw a man rushing out from the raging fire opposite. The smoke was too thick and he couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he could see that he was holding someone in his arms.
There was no one in the kitchen at this late hour except the little princess.
Just as they were about to come out, the house collapsed again. Wang Zhao's heart sank. Just when he was in despair, he suddenly heard a voice, "Madam Song is coming out!"
The guard came running over from the side, panting, and reported anxiously: "The young master has rescued Madam Song!"
——
After learning that Madam Song was only fainted by the thick smoke and was not seriously injured, Wang Zhaoru felt as if he had saved his life. He quickly ordered people to put out the fire, and after the fire was under control, he went to visit her.
Song Yunzhao has woken up.
The young master was sitting next to her, his eyes red from staying up late, holding Song Yunzhao's hand tightly.
The two maids who served Song Yunzhao were terrified tonight. They handed the brewed medicine to Pei Yancong and said gratefully, "Thanks to the young master, if nothing had happened to the princess, we would have been blamed tonight. We can only die to atone for our sins..."
After the young master left tonight, Song Yunzhao went to bed. The maids thought she was asleep, but who knew that she would secretly get up and go to Young Master Duan's yard to boil medicine for him.
Song Yunzhao had just woken up and was about to ask something, but after hearing the maid's words, his eyes moved. He turned his head and stared at the young master blankly, and asked softly, "Did Hanzhang save me?"
Pei Yancong had endured a whole night and had been in a sea of fire. His face was covered in black ash, but he didn't bother to clean it. He just sat next to her. Seeing that she had finally woken up, he nodded, lifted the back of her hand and gently rubbed his cheek, saying in a hoarse voice, "Aruo, you almost scared me to death."
Song Yunzhao looked at him blankly without saying anything for a long time. After a while, two tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
She saw it.
Saw the scar.
Pei Yancong wiped away her tears distressedly and comforted her: "It's okay, Aruo, don't cry..."
When Song Yunzhi rushed back, everything was calm. He first visited Song Yunzhao. After confirming that she was fine, he sent people to inspect the casualties and abnormalities in each courtyard.
During this inspection, they discovered that King Pingchang had escaped during the chaos.
Song Yunzhi immediately ordered, "Seal off the city." Then he personally led the secret guards and rode on horseback to capture the man.
When Qian Tong arrived at the prefectural government, Song Yunzhi had not returned yet.
After learning that Song Yunzhao had woken up and was fine, Qian Tong went to inquire about Duan Yuanjin's situation. After some questioning, no one knew where he was.
The huge fire last night started from his house, and most people were killed.
A young bandit leader was gone, and there was nothing to regret. No one cared about him afterwards. However, Qian Tong did not give up and searched everywhere, leaving no corner untouched.
Qian Tong knew very well what kind of person Duan Yuanjin was. He would never die easily if he could survive until now.
Finally, Qian Tong found the person outside the wall of the prefectural government.
I don't know if he's still alive. He lay there, his body covered in black ash and bloody flesh stuck together with his back. It was a horrible sight. Qian Tong stepped forward and helped him up with Fu Yin. They carried him on their shoulders and said through gritted teeth, "Duan Yuanjin, you'd better be alive, otherwise this marriage of mine won't be possible."
