Chapter 764 Chapter 764
Pei An raised his eyes and looked at Song Youan, "Don't act rashly on some things. It's not as easy as you think. The emperor's will cannot be violated. I hope you will think twice."
His clothes were not dry yet, and he left again in the rain.
Song Youan chased to the door and wanted to speak again, but the sound of horse hooves had faded away. Baocai trotted over to Song Youan with an umbrella and held it over his head.
"Sir, Master Pei is gone."
"I know, it turns out... all men in the world are the same, unfaithful and fickle." He had heard so many rumors outside that he actually mistakenly believed them to be true. The fourth young master of the Pei family regained his affection for his wife, and the couple lived in harmony.
But now it seems that there is no such thing... ?
Jin Fuyun murdered his wife, a woman who had no support from her natal family. Not only was he not angry, but he also wanted to send Jin Fuyun to the Prince's Mansion to become the high and mighty Princess of the County?
Unkind and unjust!
Song Youan thought of himself. He always thought that He Jiang treated him sincerely, but after the beatings, torture and brutality over the past six months, all his love had become a thing of the past.
Baocai helped him close the door and go back to the house, whispering some advice to him.
"Sir, can't you count on the Fourth Young Master?"
Song Youan shook his head slightly, "I overestimated him. I thought he would reject Jin Fuyun's admission with me."
Baocai sighed, "These high-ranking officials protect each other, and it's all linked together. How could they be willing to do such a thing with you just for a wife who can't give birth..."
Song Youan had revealed a few words to Baocai, and after hearing this, he asked Baocai to pay more attention to the Pei family's affairs.
Baocai pouted, "Master, how about we leave the capital?"
Song Youan raised his head and said, "This world is so big, but there is no place for a descendant of a criminal like me to stay. If I can really escape by chance, do you think I don't want to?"
If you can't escape, you can only hold on and fight for your life.
At noon, Baocai went out to buy food, and when he came back he brought Song Youan a shocking message, "Sir, I met Si Niang from the kitchen of the Prince's Mansion, and she told me that Gua'er and Zhou'er were sold."
"Selling?"
"Yes, sir. Si Niang said that after the two were beaten with a stick, they were restless while recovering from their injuries. They kept talking nonsense and offended the butler. After reporting to the prince, he sold them out directly."
...This kind of ruthlessness?
Song Youan knew that these two servants had been favored by He Jiang. Otherwise, they would not have been able to show off in front of him.
Unfortunately, they all miscalculated He Jiang.
I thought the prince was sentimental——
"If Jin Fuyun really gets into it, that would be the end of my life."
Baocai tilted his head, looked at the young master who couldn't eat, and whispered, "That Miss Jin didn't want to marry into the Prince's Mansion. She was forced to enter the mansion, but she couldn't possibly be favored by the Prince!"
Although he had only been serving Song Youan for a few months, the boy was smart and had already found out a lot of things.
Song Youan tested him for many days and felt that the boy was smart.
Some things were not hidden from him. "You underestimate the prince. He doesn't like Jin Fuyun's bad reputation, but the Jin family is capable. You remember that the prince will make Jin Fuyun pregnant as soon as possible. Lord Pei is right. Only when they give birth to a child can the marriage be stable."
"It's not that the prince doesn't like women—"
"I don't like it, I even hate it, but for the sake of my future and wealth, I will close my eyes and spend a day or two with Jin Fuyun. Once I get pregnant, I will have nothing to worry about."
Upon hearing this, Baocai scratched his head.
"My lord, this is just a temporary measure. It has nothing to do with you. When Jin Fuyun is pregnant, the prince's heart will still be with you."
Song Youan had heard these words before.
More than one person persuaded him, including He Jiang.
But Song Youan judged others by herself and did not dare to believe it. "Baocai, if I were Jin Fuyun, and I really had to marry into this mansion, the Prince's Mansion would not be just a decoration. As the mistress, I would never allow the Prince to do whatever he wants."
She has a family and capital, and He Jiang is a cruel man. If he really wants his future, he will definitely sacrifice himself for her.
In this case, Song Youan sneered in his heart. Now that his younger brother has a place to go, he might as well go all out and earn a future for himself.
In his opinion, it would be better if He Jiang was weaker.
Only a He Jiang like this could belong to Song Youan. Otherwise, how could such a powerful prince stay with him forever?
It's just a dream.
Pei An already knew that Song Youan had such intentions. When he returned to the mansion, he called Lin Shan to come to Yanlai Hall. It had not been used for many days and was a little deserted.
"Fourth Master, it's cold here. Can I get a charcoal basin?"
"No, just a few simple words."
Pei An invited Lin Shan to sit down and asked A'lu, "Did you and A'lu help Cang Ge'er with shopping today?"
Lin Shan nodded and answered respectfully.
"Don't worry, Fourth Young Master. Although we are not familiar with this place, it will be fine with Uncle Jin leading us."
This time, Xiao Jin also went to Beijing with Xiao Cang.
"That's good. I asked you to come here today to tell you something. When you went to Song Youan a few days ago, what did you think of this guy?"
Lin Shan recalled briefly and told the truth.
"He is good at observing people's expressions and is very hardworking. I have changed the medicine with him several times. To be honest, I feel pain in my butt just by looking at him. But this Pipa boy can really hold on to the cloth ball without making a sound."
"Observe the words and expressions. If you are stupid enough, you will not be able to survive if you enter the Jiaofang Bureau."
Pei An seemed to be talking to himself.
Lin Shan listened and added two more sentences, "Anyone who can endure such hardship, in my humble opinion, is definitely not an ordinary person. He can endure hardship, and he is not as extravagant as the rumors outside say. His small courtyard is simple and plain, and he only has one servant to serve him."
Pei An nodded.
"The matter of his younger brother must not be leaked."
Lin Shan bowed, "Don't worry, Fourth Master. He has tried to test me many times, and I also said that since you have agreed to the fixed salary, I will do it."
"Ah."
Pei An touched his damp sleeves and bowed his head, saying, "Today on the 1th, he sent someone to stop me and invited me to have a private talk. He told me two things."
Lin Shan was slightly surprised when he heard this.
"He is so bold that he dares to bother you."
"Maybe he was returning the favor, or maybe he was desperate and wanted to seek help from anyone. He Jiang tortured him too cruelly, so he had other ideas."
When Linshan heard this, he got the wrong idea.
He immediately raised his head and asked, "Could it be that he is asking you, the Fourth Young Master, to help him escape from Prince Yong?"
"Not really."
Pei An sighed, "After he knew that he was a criminal, I was able to help his brother escape, which was already the most I could do. If I help him again, don't say I don't have the ability to do so. Even if I do, I don't have the kindness to do so."
"Then, what is Pipa Lang doing? At least from what I can see, he is smart and cold, not the kind of person who would do a business that loses money."
When Pei An heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Linshan, you are very good at judging people."
