Chapter 28: Peach Blossom
Chapter 28: Peach Blossom
The square market in the west of the city is still as lively as usual, with people coming and going, picking out the items they need.Among the bustling crowd, Fu Rong seemed so ordinary that it was forgotten.
Today she was only wearing coarse plain clothes, and her shiny black hair was wrapped in a brown cloth scarf.The story of the young lady has already spread in the capital, and now anyone who goes out of the Zhangfu will be surrounded by varying degrees of spectators.
It's not good to be pointed at by others, so now they will dress up as peasant women when they go out to buy, and they all sneak out quietly through the back door.
A woman's boudoir reputation here is very important. The lady of Zhang's family had been cast aside by insiders for such a scandal earlier, and the public's emotions reached another peak after Miss Zhang's death. People with bad intentions even said "" An unchaste woman like this deserves to die."
People say that they hate their hearts, but they are not wrong. If the matter of Miss Zhang is exposed, she will inevitably end up in a pig cage. If she privately decides to have a dark knot for life, then what is a serious girl should do? Women would never do such a thing of unmarried first childbearing!
In the beginning, Boss Zhang frantically blocked the news, but a person's mouth is not so easy to block, and the more he is not allowed to speak, the more he speaks, until this matter becomes the laughing stock of the whole capital.
The focus is different, so people in the capital don't care who killed Miss Zhang's family, they pay more attention to the laughing stock of Zhang's family itself.
Therefore, Zhang's family must keep a low profile when they go out recently. Even the young lady's funeral is kept low-key.
Even Ms. Zhang's burial was chosen at dark time, but it was arranged for a while by the troublemaker.How aggrieved by this kind of thing, Boss Zhang, who loves his daughter like his life, wanted to get angry several times but tried to hold back.Because he is a man, he cannot fight against a city.
But here, Furong finally squeezed through the crowd to buy all the things she needed, and then suddenly disappeared at the entrance of the alley before she breathed a sigh of relief. The flow of people will not change because of the sudden disappearance of a person, and no one will notice the disappearance of this woman at all. ...
In the unknown wing room, Fu Rong was tied behind her back to a chair, and a piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth.She just woke up and was shocked to see her state, and instinctively began to struggle, but the knot that tied her hands was very skillful, the more she struggled, the tighter it became.
Knowing that it was impossible to break free, her instinct still made her struggle desperately until the last bit of strength was exhausted.
"Squealing" the door was slowly pushed open, and there was a tall figure standing in the center. She couldn't see the face of the person coming because of the backlight.
The fear of the unknown made her stare at the visitor in horror, and she didn't see his face clearly until he closed the door with her backhand.She was shocked at that moment, she knew this person, and she also knew that this person was in a distant cloud...
"I'll let you go, don't scream."
His voice was gentle and sweet, which could easily make the girl blush, and naturally made Fu Rong temporarily forget her fear, she nodded.
Zou Jinyuan stepped forward to help her untie it, the girl did not cry out, she was very quiet, even shy.
He chuckled, "I haven't apologized to the girl yet, I didn't expect them to use this method to bring you here, it's really rude." He walked around behind her and planned to untie her.
Fu Rong's head drooped slightly, just now she thought she had fallen into the hands of the gangsters, but she didn't expect to see Zou Jinyuan, the most humble and polite son in the capital, and the object of love of thousands of girls, of course Fu Rong herself was among these girls.
"This... why is the young master looking for the servant's house?"
What else could the young master "invite" herself in this way, the more she asked, the more shy she became.Really, I didn't expect Mr. Zou to look at Duanfang and use this method to invite a woman, but unexpectedly he didn't feel disgusted.
Seeing the shy look of the girl in front of him, Zou Jinyuan knew that she had misunderstood, and was quite embarrassed for a while.
"Hey, Zou is very sorry for causing trouble to the girl, but I have something important to discuss with you today."
When Zou Jinyuan said this, the girl's family naturally understood that she had met the young master by mistake, and she was even more embarrassed, so she could only nod with red smoke all over her face to indicate that she knew.
Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Zou Jinyuan returned to the subject. When it came to the matter of the young lady, the young lady was shy one second, but her face changed suddenly the next second, and she insisted that she didn't know anything.
"My lord, I really don't know. I don't know why Miss died, let alone how she..."
Zou Jinyuan raised his hand to tell her not to rush to speak, without him, this string of words does not seem to be said by the girl herself, but rather like someone taught her to say it, more like lines!
"Miss Furong, don't be nervous. I just want to know Miss Zhang's life. As for these bad things, it's up to you whether you say or not."
Having said that, Fu Rong was really relieved, she was like a frightened bird now, she was very nervous when asked about Miss.She is the closest person to the young lady, and she knows a lot more about the young lady than ordinary people, so after the incident with the young lady, the first person to focus on is herself.
As soon as the young lady left, the master locked her up alone, and gave her a warning not to reveal the story of the young lady's life, especially... the man the young lady was infatuated with.
Hearing that Zou Jinyuan said that he was only interested in the young lady's deeds during her lifetime, she was surprised after letting out a sigh of relief. "Why does the young master treat the young lady..."
Zou Jinyuan coughed when he heard the words, lowered his voice a little and said, "I have a friend who is quite interested in the deeds of the people, and the deeds of the other lady are very... Strange, so I came here to inquire at his entrustment."
But looking at your expression, it seems that you should be the one who is really interested, Furong thought, but there is really nothing unspeakable about what happened to the lady before, and it is worthwhile to see the different side of Mr. Zou who is superior.
Fu Rong, who thought she saw it clearly, didn't point it out, she just covered her lips and smiled and told about the young lady one by one.
There was nothing special about the young lady's previous affairs, only when she met the mysterious young man, Fu Rong looked at Zou Jinyuan with suspicion, and saw that he was listening intently, and then hesitated to pass this paragraph with a sentence.
But was interrupted by Zou Jinyuan, "You said that your young lady and that son met in the peach blossom forest in Anshan Temple?"
Fu Rong froze for a moment, then nodded and said "yes", thinking that Mr. Zou would continue to ask something, but unexpectedly he nodded to signal her to continue.
When it came to the sudden death of the young lady, Fu Rong deliberately blurred many key points, but he didn't see anything unusual, as if she was really interested in the story itself.
He even said with emotion: "Miss Zhang is a woman of true temperament, if I meet her, I will treat her well."
In words, he seemed to admire Miss Zhang's family very much, which happened to speak to Fu Rong's heart.She has been serving the young lady for more than ten years, and she has long regarded her as her own sister, and puts her first in everything. She also hopes that the young lady will meet a good man like Mr. Zou in the future, but the young lady is stubborn. It's really hateful to fall in love with that scumbag.
"If Miss met you first, you would definitely not be heartbroken by that beast. She conceived a child for her and even died for him!"
Zou Jinyuan was also quite touched, "Miss, don't be sad, this person is indeed unworthy of a human being, but fortunately he is already in prison and will be executed soon, Miss Quanxia will surely be relieved if she knows."
"Where is he in the prison! That bastard is still at large!"
"Ah, how come?"
"Why not, Grand Master Song...ah!"
Suddenly he realized that he had been tricked out of words, so he stopped talking immediately, covering his mouth tightly, but how could he take back what he had said, and at this time Zou Jinyuan also got fully dressed and calmly bowed to her: "Thank you for letting me know, miss. "
The two reminders from Anshan Temple Peach Blossom Grove and Song Taishi are enough for him to know who this evil person is.Taishi Song is old, even if Miss Zhang fell in love with an old man like him, he doesn't have the physical strength to climb over the wall and have a private meeting with Miss Zhang.
And if there is anyone who has the closest relationship with Song Taishi, it is only Song Qian, Song Taishi's only son.Song Qian was the eldest son of Song Taishi, although she was a concubine, she loved him very much, and raised him as a legitimate son since she was a child.Or because he was too pampered, this baby's only son is not up to the mark.
Who in the capital does not know the "little overlord" Song Qian, stealing chickens and running dogs is not enough, but eating, drinking, whoring and gambling are all involved. It is said that he is also very lustful, and there are groups of concubines at home, and he always robs men and women for his enjoyment .
For those well-educated aristocratic women, Song Qian would pretend to be Mr. Pianpian to deceive the women's hearts.Aristocratic women also yearn for a beautiful love, isn't the gentle and affectionate son what they admire most?If you don't know this person's usual virtues, how can you fall into his gentle trap.
As time passed, his reputation among everyone became rotten, and every lady in the family knew that he was not a good man, so he stretched out his hand to Xiaojiabiyu, this kind of speculation is also reasonable.
And Fu Rong, who mistakenly exposed the identity of the shameless young master, was too frightened to say a word.Among the people who came to warn her earlier was the Song family. At that time, they wanted to get rid of themselves directly, if she hadn't begged and swore that she would never reveal Song Qian's word.
But I didn't expect to be set out by someone...
"Young Master Zou, please spare the slave family. The slave family has taken this life with great difficulty. If this matter is exposed, the slave family will have to die!"
She knelt on the ground and begged with tears, as long as Zou Jinyuan didn't tell the story, she would be safe!
Zou Jinyuan frowned, "Girl please get up quickly, it's cold on the ground! How can I hurt you even if it's too late to thank you, just listen to me tell you in detail."
But Fu Rong didn't believe it. If Song Qian was stabbed out, she would never have a chance to survive, so she refused to get up even if she died.
Zou Jinyuan had no choice but to squat down to be equal to her, looked into her eyes and said: "Miss Furong, please listen to my advice, I think people from the Song Mansion have come to look for you a long time ago, let me guess, are they First he said that he wanted to get rid of you, and then he promised to save your life for your poor sake, on the condition that he swears that he will never tell about Song Qian, and that Mo Wanqing is the object of Miss' love?"
As expected, Fu Rong was stunned, "How could you..." She guessed it right.
