After having a vegetarian meal at Miaoying Temple, Zhao Wangshu used the excuse that he was tired from walking and wanted to stay in the Zen room to drink tea instead of going to the release pool with Zhao Yin and Song Yuanqu to release animals
Look, how nice she is sister, who single-handedly helped the two get along.
Zhao Wangshu sat in the Zen room, sipping tea and admiring the scenery outside the window.
After Zhao Yin and Song Yuanqu came back from the Free Life Pond, they left Miaoying Temple and walked back.
When we arrived at the city gate, the road was blocked, and there was a long line of carriages in front of us.
Zhao Wangshu lifted the curtains and looked outside casually. He saw an acquaintance and blinked hard before looking again.
You read that right, it’s Fan Jinyao, but wasn’t she exiled? Why is it here?
“Wangshu, what are you looking at?” Song Yuanqu asked.
"I didn't see anything." Zhao Wangshu quickly lowered the curtains and laughed.
Her eldest brother probably didn’t see Fan Jinyao across the carriage, right?
Zhao Wangshu was quite uneasy. Fan Jinyao was her eldest brother’s white moonlight. This white moonlight was quite lethal.
She really didn’t want any twists and turns in her eldest brother’s marriage to Song Yuanqu.
When she returned home, she deliberately asked Zhao Yin, "Under what circumstances will a person who was exiled for a crime be pardoned?"
"Why did you think of asking this question?" Zhao Yin asked rhetorically.
"I went to the street yesterday and watched a play. In the play, an upright official was framed and exiled." Zhao Wangshu made up a story casually.
Zhao Yin pondered for a moment, "There are three situations. One is that His Majesty will grant amnesty to the world and will pardon some of the exiled prisoners. The second is that rich people spend a lot of money to buy their crimes, reduce their guilt, and even get pardoned. The third is that If he is rehabilitated, he will be reinstated."
Zhao Wangshu nodded, "I understand."
Afraid of arousing Zhao Yin's suspicion, Zhao Wangshu quickly ran to find Zhao Cui Mrs. Zhao Cui said, "Grandma, I'm in trouble."
Mrs. Zhao Cui was sitting on the recliner, petting the cat with half-closed eyes. When she heard the sound, she sat up and said, "My dear, what's the matter? Don't panic. Don't panic."
Zhao Wangshu took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "Grandma, I saw Fan Jinyao at the gate of the city. She has returned to Beijing."
Zhao Cui's eyes became serious, "You read that right?"
"Grandma, I have very good eyesight." Zhao Wangshu said seriously.
“It’s a bit tricky for her to return to Beijing at this time.” Zhao Cui frowned, “But as long as your eldest brother doesn’t get confused, it’s okay.”
"I'm just afraid that big brother will be confused." Zhao Wangshu sighed.
Mrs. Zhao Cui put down the snowball and patted her hand, "Don't worry, let Axiang keep an eye on him. If he dares to go to Fan Jinyao, I will ask your father to break his legs."
"Grandma, it's not enough to just stare at my eldest brother, you have to check on Fan Jinyao." Zhao Wangshu was worried that Fan Jinyao would pester her eldest brother.
Mrs. Zhao Cui nodded, "You are right, we need to check it out."
Before anything could be found, Mrs. Fan took Fan Jinyao over. The government paid a visit.
After being exiled, the appearance of the grandfather and grandson is different from before. Mrs. Fan’s hair has turned completely white and she looks very old.
Fan Jinyao is no longer as pretty as before, her figure is thin, and although she has applied makeup, she still looks lackluster, and her crystal eyes have long lost their former charm.
Although Ms. Zhao Cui sympathized with Mrs. Fan for being dragged down by her children in her later years and suffering a serious crime, her sympathy was sympathy and she would not be so unclear about it.
What's more, Zhao Yin is already engaged to Song Yuan Qu, there is no way she would give up Song Yuan Qu and choose Fan Jinyao.
"Yue'er, take your sister from the Fan family to play in the side hall." Mrs. Zhao Cui said.
Zhao Wangshu took Fan Jinyao to the side hall. The maid served tea and snacks, "Sister Fan, please drink tea."
"Okay." Fan Jinyao stretched out her hand, which was covered with frost scars. He held up the cup with both hands and took two sips, "Isn't Brother Zhao at home?"
"He is in the Yamen." Zhao Wangshu said calmly.
"Brother Zhao, is he, is he okay?"
"Very good, we are getting married in October." Zhao Wangshu didn't want her to still have illusions about Zhao Yin .
"He's getting married?" Fan Jinyao was so shocked that she almost dropped the tea cup in her hand, and said with a pale face: "With whom?"
"Song Yuanqu, the daughter of Princess Ruicheng ." Zhao Wangshu told the truth.
The tea cup in Fan Jinyao's hand finally fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. The tea splashed onto her skirt.
She looked at Zhao Wangshu blankly, her eyes full of loss and sorrow, "He...he is going to marry someone else?"
"Sister Fan, my eldest brother and you There is no engagement, it's normal for him to marry. You shouldn't dwell on the past, let it go and find your own happiness." Zhao Wangshu comforted softly.
"Happiness?" Fan Jinyao smiled sadly, "Can a person like me still get happiness?"
"Zhao Wangshu's silence and exile are the stains on Fan Jinyao, She wants to find a good match, which is quite difficult.
But no matter how pitiful she is, she can’t fill her eldest brother in, right?
After all, she was a person who had survived the bitter cold of exile. Fan Jinyao's mind was much tougher than before. After a brief period of loss, she quickly returned to normal.
"You are right, I cannot regard exile as a shackles for life. I believe that I will find someone who can accept me." Fan Jinyao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Zhao Wangshu twitched the corners of his lips and said, "I hope you can figure it out."
The Fan family's ancestors and grandson had lunch at the Zhao family before leaving.
After seeing them off, Zhao Wangshu told Mrs. Zhao Cui, "Grandma, I told Fan Jinyao about my eldest brother's engagement."
She related the conversation between her and Fan Jinyao, Said it in detail.
"If she can keep her word, our two families can still communicate." Mrs. Zhao Cui missed the old relationship.
Zhao Wangshu had a vague feeling that Fan Jinyao would not keep his word, but Fan Jinyao had not done anything yet, so she could not make assumptions.
A few days later, the shopkeeper of the board game store came over and told her, "Yesterday, a few strong men came to the store to cause trouble and were captured by Feng Jijun."
"This Ma Qiaoqiao is really good at seeking death." Zhao Wangshu didn't ask anyone for help and directly asked her elder brother to handle the matter.
Let her elder brother be busy so as not to be distracted by other women.
Don’t think she doesn’t know. If it weren’t for Ah Xiang’s cleverness, Fan Jinyao would have almost met her elder brother by chance.
She had to change her eldest brother’s daily trajectory so that Fan Jinyao could not find her eldest brother.
While Zhao Yin was busy helping his sister solve the problem, the fifth prince's secret possession of weapons had been confirmed, and this matter also involved Northern Xinjiang.
The fifth prince added another crime, having an affair with a foreign country.
Yun Hao took the confessions of the fifth prince’s gang members and went to the prison to see the fifth prince. “What else do you have to say?”
The fifth prince stared at him and said, “Check. Are the people who came to my private house your subordinates?"
"Yes." Yun Hao readily admitted.
"Why? I ask myself that I have never offended you." The fifth prince said puzzledly.
"Long Tingwei only obeys His Majesty's will." Yun Hao would not tell him that the initial investigation of him was due to personal enmity.
Who asked him to help Princess Anaya cover up the harm to Zhao Wangshu?
"You are really a useful dog." The fifth prince scolded.
"Roaring incompetently will only make your end worse." Yun Hao said coldlytypical.
