Chapter 107 My sister already has a lover
Xiao Jin could escape the death penalty, but he could not escape punishment for his crime. In the end, he was sentenced to exile in a remote area and was not allowed to return to Beijing during his lifetime.
His legs were completely broken, and he would suffer no good consequences. Several concubines begged Xu, but Xu was unwilling to bear it and was willing to donate all her property in exchange for the freedom of her two grandsons.
You know, Xu has many unique industries in secret, and his net worth is at least more than 500,000 taels of silver.
Xiao Linyuan was unwilling and rejected Xu's request.
Xu had no choice but to resort to his ultimate strategy: donating the method of making bombs to the imperial court.
As a general, Xiao Linyuan's heart beat faster when he saw the completed bomb.
With this weapon, the whole world can be taken into his pocket. Not to mention exchanging the lives of the two illegitimate sons, even Xiao Jin's life is more than enough!
However, because of this, Xu's freedom was restricted and she was not allowed to leave the capital again.
On the day Xiao Jin left, Xu gave him a hundred taels of silver.
Not too much, not too little, just enough for him to live out the rest of his life.
Xiao Linyuan sent two people to watch him, not allowing him to commit suicide or spend money to treat his leg.
For Xiao Jin, this was simply a life worse than death.
In addition, Xiao Linyuan sent people to Xingzhou to look for someone, and specially arranged for government officials to post the details of Xiao Jin's speech everywhere, for fear that Song Zijin would not see it.
Song Zijin really couldn't see it.
She has learned to grow vegetables on her own, and her family rarely goes to the county.
In September, Tan County is still as warm as spring, and villagers have already started to plant the second crop of rice in the fields.
Song Zijin also bought a piece of land. Changfeng, Changshun, Wen Yan and his servant, four men, were more than capable of cultivating two acres of land.
Fu Yue moved a small stool and placed it beside the rice field. "Girl, don't stand there. Sit down and take a look."
Song Zijin readily followed suit and sat down carefully, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.
"Girl, I saw that Ah Hua in the village is also three months pregnant, but why isn't yours as big?" Fu Yue was puzzled.
Song Zijin touched her belly and teased her: "Maybe the food you and Changshun cook is so delicious, so the baby eats better."
Fu Yue smiled shyly, "Then I'll go catch snails in the summer and make soup for you in the evening! I promise to make you fatter!"
Song Zijin just smiled and said nothing.
I was afraid that if I told Fu Yue, Changfeng and the others would accidentally find out.
Having one child was already enough to make Changfeng distressed. If he knew that he had two, Xiao Linyuan would probably come looking for him within half a month.
I don't know how he has been doing in the past two months.
He must be very angry that I left without saying goodbye, right?
Would the old princess arrange for him to meet a girl? If he got married in the future, he must not know about the existence of these two children.
This place where my heart is at peace is my hometown. In the past two months, she has gradually become familiar with this place. Before giving birth, she will go back with ease...
Seeing that she was frowning, Wen Yan scooped up some mud and made two little figures, placing them on the edge of the field.
"Lili, look, am I doing a good job?"
Wen Yan either grows vegetables or works in the fields all day long. He has become much tanned, and his teeth look even whiter when he smiles.
Song Zijin suddenly came back to her senses and was about to make a comment when she saw a goose yellow figure rushing out from behind her, rushing in front of her, squatting down, and poking the little clay figurine.
"Brother Shouqian, you are so awesome!"
The girl's voice was sweet and cute, and Wen Yan's ears blushed.
"Really?" His voice was not as flattering as when he was talking to Song Zijin just now, but rather a little cold.
Chen Miaoqing pouted, "I want some too, Brother Shouqian, please make two for me too!"
Wen Yan didn't even think about it, "My craftsmanship is not good, and these two were made with great difficulty."
"Ah~" Chen Miaoqing felt disappointed and poked the pair of not-so-good-looking clay figurines again.
After Wen Yan returned to the fields to work, Song Zijin touched Chen Miaoqing's furry head.
"Why do you want the clay figurine so much?"
Chen Miaoqing raised her head, her big eyes were watery, and she looked unusually well-behaved.
"There were a pair of little clay figurines in my father and mother's house. Later, on the day my father was murdered, my mother committed suicide while holding the clay figurines..."
Song Zijin panicked. She never expected this story to be like this.
Seeing that Chen Miaoqing was about to cry, she stood up and moved the two clay figurines in front of her, "Then I'll give this pair to you, okay?"
"No! This is for you and Brother Shouqian, I want mine and his!"
Song Zijin's mouth twitched. Such an ugly clay figurine doesn't look like her at all!
"Sister can also make two, okay?"
Chen Miaoqing finally wiped away her tears and asked, "Really?"
"Well, of course it's real. I was the one who taught Shouqian how to make clay figurines!" Song Zijin said proudly.
"Then will you marry Brother Shouqian?"
Song Zijin shook her head, "Sister already has a lover."
Chen Miaoqing was a little surprised, "Is he the father of my sister's child?"
Song Zijin nodded.
"But he's a bad guy. He doesn't want me and my child anymore. Why would I still like him?"
"The relationship between us is a bit complicated and can't be explained in just a few words. He is the best person in the world to me. I love him very much. If there is a next life, I want to meet him again."
Chen Miaoqing seemed to understand something. "So every time Sister is in a daze, she's thinking about her brother-in-law?"
The call of "brother-in-law" successfully made Song Zijin blush. "Don't yell, we've already separated. He will have a new wife in the future."
"Since my sister likes him, then he is my brother-in-law~" Chen Miaoqing smiled with her eyes curved.
Song Zijin did not correct her. Uncle Chen said that the little girl lost her parents when she was seven years old. After Uncle Chen took her in, he protected her very well, so she was a little spoiled, but overall she was lively and cute.
"Then sister, please tell me what Brother Shouqian likes. I like him!" Chen Miaoqing suddenly whispered in her ear.
Song Zijin looked up at the young man working in the field, and then looked at Chen Miaoqing, who was simple and naive.
You know what, it’s really good!
She couldn't help but feel envious. If she and Xiao Linyuan had met two years ago, she would have expressed her passionate and sincere love as unrestrainedly as Chen Miaoqing!
——
Xu Zihan has now become a key protected person by the court, and she has been assigned four guards.
She has always known how to find joy in adversity. She disliked the four bodyguards' appearance and went to the government to find replacements, but they ignored her.
In a fit of anger, she went to the palace in person.
The housekeeper knew how much the old princess hated Xu, but he didn't dare let anyone in.
Xu Zihan was furious and ordered four bodyguards to carry her over the wall and jump in.
As soon as he landed on the ground, he was caught by the guards of the palace. On the way out of the palace, he saw Xiao Linyuan who was about to leave the palace at the corner.
"Regent!" Xu Zihan shouted from a distance.
Xiao Linyuan stopped and his eyes twitched.
He had never seen such an energetic woman. She was already 42 years old, but she was more energetic than a 24-year-old.
"Lord Regent, the four bodyguards you assigned to me are too ugly. I want handsome men! If you don't give me a replacement, I will come to bother you every day!"
The housekeeper came running over and said, "Madam Xu, how can you behave like this?"
After all, she is the one who gave birth to a child for the old prince. Saying such things in the palace is an offense to the old prince!
"Hmph, don't use your old-fashioned ideas on me. I like handsome men, not..."
Her voice stopped abruptly.
Xiao Linyuan turned his head to look and saw the new Minister of Revenue Sang Huan walking up behind him, his eyes fixed on Xu and his jaw tense.
