Want to hold the king's hand, but the king runs away

For seven whole days, Jin Shu didn't see Kang Ting again, even for dinner, he didn't eat in the main hall, but moved directly to She Man's room.

This series of actions naturally let Jinshu know his choice.

From this point of view, the two should also be separated from this, and I don't know if they will just forget about each other when they return to the Zhao Mansion this time, and they will be well and have nothing to do with each other in the future.

Just thinking about such an ending, Jin Shu felt a sharp pain in her heart.

I hate my pitiful appearance very much, but emotions are really something that cannot be controlled if you want to control it. It really complies with the phrase "cut off the water with a knife and make it flow more, raise a glass to relieve your sorrow and sorrow."

Fortunately, she also clearly understood that although it was difficult to accept, she still had to face the truth.

Jin Shu now only hopes that she can go back to the Zhao Mansion soon. At this moment, she needs a warm-hearted person to accompany her, so that she will no longer appear so isolated and helpless.

Just like a few days ago, although Jin Shu was holding a scroll in her hand, she kept staring at the new shoots on the branches in the distance, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

When she was in a daze, she didn't want Mrs. Han's close servant Xue Mei to enter Jin Shu's room.

Seeing Jinshu holding a book, Xue Mei was afraid that she would disturb her mood, so she hurriedly saluted and said, "Miss Jinshu, well. I don't know that the girl is reading a book, so I'm bothering you."

As Mrs. Han's personal servant girl, Xue Mei is naturally very aware of her wife's love for Jin Shu, and she is determined to match the eldest son and Jin Shu on weekdays.

Because of this, she was very polite to Jin Shu.

Jin Shu looked at the book that was upside down in her hand, and smiled helplessly.Put it behind the kang case, and greeted her: "Xue Mei, get up. But what is Mrs. Han looking for me for?"

After hearing Jinshu's answer, Xue Mei got up and approached her.

"Miss Jinshu, the invitation to Prince Kang's Mansion has been delivered today. The girl said last time that she wanted to go with Madam, so Madam sent me to ask if you will go with her tomorrow?"

Ever since Wanru married into Prince Kang's mansion, Jinshu had no chance to meet Wanru alone because of her low status, so she begged Mrs. Kang to bring herself along when she went to visit.

It's just like entering the palace for the first time, making peace in the morning and evening, serving in-laws, following the rules of the palace, taking care of housework, and taking care of the prince.Just pick one out and you can overwhelm Wanxiang.

In order to relieve Wan Ru's pressure, for half a year, Mrs. Kang never took the initiative to find Wan Ru so as not to cause trouble for her.

Now, I finally have a chance to meet Wanru.

There are a lot of jokes that I have thought up before, but now I can't say the next sentence. If Zhao Mu treats her well, how can he marry Fanshu so quickly.

I and Wanru are really a pair of troubled brothers and sisters, and this kind of thing can also be gathered together.

"Xue Mei, Mrs. Han is fine this afternoon."

"Madam has no appointment this afternoon, but Miss wants to visit Madam?"

See Jin Shu nodded.Xue Mei showed joy on her face, and said: "Madam often thinks of the girl in my ear, I think you are gone, Madam must be very happy."

"I have something to say to my wife today, otherwise I won't be able to say it when I arrive at the palace tomorrow."

Jin Shu didn't delay, she got up quickly, called Chen Qin to prepare her sedan chair, and then she and Xue Mei prepared to walk out of the house.

The two passed by the west chamber, and Jinshu heard She Man and Kang Ting exchanging medical theories from a distance, and recalled in her mind that she had come to Kangfu to study medicine in the past.

After so many years, I still don't know anything about medical skills, but under the guidance of that person, I have practiced calligraphy and painting that can be read.

The scene where he held his hand and taught him to write for the first time is still vivid in his memory, now??

Jin Shu immediately controlled herself and couldn't continue thinking about it.

Concentrating her mind, Jin Shu walked very lightly, for fear that the people inside would overhear and find her.

It's just that the windows of the west compartment were wide open, so how could two such a large person pass by without being noticed.

"Jinshu." She Man called out to stop her.

Now that she was seen, Jinshu thought she had to say hello, so she asked Xue Mei to go out of the house and wait, and went in by herself.

"Sister She Man, adoptive father?"

She Man looked at her and nodded with a chuckle, but Kang Ting looked down at the book and ignored her.

After not hearing Kang Ting's reply for a long time, She Man turned around and saw that Kang Ting had no intention of responding to Jin Shu.

She Man was puzzled. When Kang Ting mentioned Jinshu when she was here for the first time, she was always extremely gentle. How could she become like this in just a few days?

No wonder Jin Shu's condition got worse, and she didn't want to tell Kang Ting.

It stands to reason that it is not She Mantiao's turn to intervene in the matter between the two of them, but she saw Jin Shu's complexion getting worse and worse, and knew that this person's illness could not continue, so she thought about letting the two of them talk alone a bit.

"Jinshu, since you're here, just wait for me here for a while. I prescribed some dietary prescriptions for you yesterday, and they are in Master Kang's place. I'll go get them for you now."

Before Jinshu could refuse, She Man hastily left the room, leaving only two people here.

Kang Ting never looked up at Jin Shu, but just sat there quietly flipping through the pages of the book, wondering if he really read it.

"Father?"

"Don't you think it's particularly disgusting for you to call me such a name with such a mind?"

After saying this, Kang Ting regretted it a little, but he really couldn't stand Jin Shu calling him that.

nausea?It turned out that Kang Ting could also say such words.

Jin Shu sneered inwardly, she just wanted to tell him that she would go back to the mansion in three days, and said that she took care of it.

At this point, I don't want to say any more about the treasure.

Jin Shu simply shut her mouth, looked out the window and waited for She Man to return.

After a long silence, Kang Ting suddenly said: "Jin Shu, I will choose a date to propose marriage to She Man, and then move to Lin'an with her."

"Really? Then congratulations." Only seven words, nothing else.

Kang Ting said these words to let Jinshu get rid of his unreasonable thoughts, but the other party's concise answer seemed to have no thoughts at all.

Knowing that she has such thoughts is worrying.

But her indifferent attitude was actually upset.

Kang Ting knew that his heart had been completely disturbed by Jinshu, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.

Because of what Kang Ting said just now, Jin Shu only felt that her mouth and nose were being strangled, and even breathing was a little difficult. She couldn't wait for She Man to come back, so she was going to leave here.

Kang Ting heard the noise, looked up and found that Jin Shu had stepped out of the room: "Where are you going?"

Jin Shu just paused, didn't answer, and fled here in a little embarrassment.

Looking at her back, Kang Ting already regretted the two words he said without thinking just now, but the words had already been spoken and could not be taken back.

When encountering Jin Shu in everything, all the persistence in his heart will disappear in a flash.There is nothing like the smile on this girl's face when she is acting like a spoiled child in her arms.

It would be great if Jin Shu didn't say that sentence.

All the way in a daze, Jin Shu only felt that she had arrived at Pingyuanhou's Mansion in the blink of an eye. She shook her head, trying to wake herself up.

Following Xue Mei to Mrs. Han's room, she was making incense in the room at this time, seeing Jin Shu immediately stopped what she was doing, kindly pulled her aside and sat down, and ordered Xue Mei to prepare some tea and pastries .

Mrs. Han knew that Jinshu was afraid of the cold, so she asked her considerately: In this weather, do you still need the copper stove to warm your hands?I watched the weather warm up the other day.It was only then that someone specifically put those things away.

"Thank you Madam for your kindness, I don't need that thing anymore." Jin Shu said while holding her hand with a smile: "Fortunately, Wan Ruo is not here, let her hear that you are partial to me."

Speaking of Wan Ru, Mrs. Han rarely showed a hint of worry, she lowered her head slightly: "I thought I would see you tomorrow, but since I came today, it's because of your sister's entry into the palace?"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Han would be so direct, so Jin Shu nodded.

Mrs. Han asked her with some embarrassment: "Do you want to drag Wanru into the palace and take care of your eldest sister?"

During these years of getting along, Jin Shu never mentioned the affairs of her mansion to others. The wives of Kang and Han only knew that she had a father who was worthless, but they didn't know that there were other monsters in Zhao's mansion.

Jinshu straightened her face, and answered Mrs. Han seriously: "Ma'am, I misunderstood, I am not here today to let Wanru take care of her, but to remind her through your mouth, be careful of me, the eldest sister."

Hearing this, Mrs. Han looked at Jinshu puzzled.

"Ma'am, Kang Wang's mansion accepted Fanshu as a concubine, did they ever tell you anything?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Han's face was a bit embarrassed: "Huh? Explain? Concubine Kang just sent someone to send a letter. It only said that the prince is going to take a concubine. Before I went to the palace to ask clearly, they first On the second day, I carried your sister into the palace."

Recalling the actions of Prince Kang's mansion, Mrs. Han added angrily: "The two men call each other brothers in the officialdom, but they turned their heads, but they bullied my Wanru like this in the inner house."

These words have gone beyond the etiquette, it can be seen that Mrs. Han was also dizzy with anger.

"Ma'am, when I say these things later on, don't blame me for breaking the rules. The world can learn from others. Everything I think and say is just like that." Jin Shu's words were extremely cautious.

The first time Mrs. Han saw her like this, she quickly said to her: "Jinshu, it's okay to say it. From the moment we met, I regarded you as my own family. How could I blame you for just a few words."

"The main reason I came here today is to persuade Madam to be patient for a while, otherwise I will bring infinite troubles to Wanru." Jin Shu looked at Madam Han deeply and sharply, "Madam has always been bright and bright, but I am afraid that if you care chaos."

"What do you mean by that?"

Jin Shu sighed, and said: "In these years, no one in Bianjing knows that King Kang has acted cautiously since the crown prince was deposed. It stands to reason. Pingyuanhou's Mansion and King Kang's Mansion have always been on good terms, as if they should be kind after entering the mansion. How can you rush to take a concubine after only half a year of marriage? Although the elder sister has a very good reputation among the officials in Bianjing, if it is really the princess herself who has taken a fancy to her and wants to bring her into the palace, why is she in a hurry? I will explain it to you first."

"What do you mean? Fanshu's entry into the mansion was not the idea of ​​Concubine Kang, but was forced by someone." Mrs. Han's face was full of doubts

"That's right. Besides, the person who is forcing the princess is most likely the son of the prince. After all, the identity of the princess is there, and who can force her to do such a stupid thing in troubled times."

This answer only reveals one thing.Shizi is either a romantic, or he is ruthless to Wanru.

No matter which one of them it is, it is the most fatal blow to Wan Ru.

Mrs. Han took a deep breath, closed her eyes slowly, and gritted her teeth: "It's like that silly girl, who sent back two letters from home, and never complained about the relationship between the husband and wife, so I just treat her as being raped." My husband dotes on me. Now it seems that the prince doesn't care about Wanxiang?"

"So, Jin Shu wants to tell Madam here. When you go to the palace tomorrow, don't make trouble with this matter. The princess will not do anything to the Han family, but she will definitely make things difficult for my powerless eldest sister. And I Thinking about it, the eldest sister has fascinated the son so much that she will definitely push him to bear the grudge."

Fan Shu is more and more like her mother in her cruelty in dealing with the world.

Mrs. Han's face was solemn, and she was about to ask more about Fanshu, but Xue Mei hurried in and said, "Miss Jinshu, your maid came to look for you outside the house, it seems that there is something urgent."

When Jin Shu heard this, a bad premonition hit her heart in an instant. If she could come here from the Kang Manor, some shocking event might have happened at home. Think long term."

Seeing that Jin Shu was so anxious, Mrs. Han didn't dare to stay longer, so she quickly asked Xue Mei to take Jin Shu out of the house, and when she went out, she also told her that if she needed help, she must remember to ask someone to come to her.

Jin Shu rushed out of Pingyuanhou's mansion quickly, and it was Zhong Ling who came.

She was full of panic and uncertainty. After seeing Jin Shu, her whole body couldn't help shaking, and she even walked tremblingly.

Although there is still some distance between the two and there is no communication, but Jinshu looks at her like this, she just feels that she is having difficulty breathing at this moment, and the world is spinning before her eyes. on the ground.

Seeing Jinshu like this, Zhong Ling ran over eagerly and stroked Jinshu from Xue Mei's hand.

Thinking that the two of them should have private matters to discuss, Xue Mei took the initiative to bid farewell to Jin Shu.

"Tell me, what happened?" Jin Shu looked at Zhong Ling, and her breathing became inexplicably rapid.

Seeing her like this, Zhong Ling didn't know what to say to her, so she had to bury her head for a long while before hesitatingly said: "Miss Jinshu... Aunt Jin has passed away."

The words "bolt from the blue" are not enough to describe Jin Shu's feelings at this moment. At this moment, except for the sound of her own heart beating wildly, Jin Shu can't hear anything clearly.

"Girl? Girl?"

Zhong Ling called Jin Shu anxiously for a long time before seeing the light in her eyes.

Seeing Zhong Ling staring at her anxiously, Jin Shu asked her: "What's going on? Why is she such a good person. If you say no, you'll be gone."

Zhong Ling bowed her head guiltily, and told Jinshu everything with tears in her eyes.

With the money sent by Prince Kang's mansion, the Zhao family was much richer, so the Yu family asked Qingyi to buy five men and five women from Ren Yazi a few days ago as slaves.

Early this morning, Mrs. Yu ordered all the servants in the mansion to go to the front hall to prepare for a new division of labor and plan work, but no one noticed that Aunt Jin slipped out from the back door quietly.

When Pingyue and Pingrui returned to the side courtyard, they found that Aunt Jin was nowhere to be found. They searched the entire Zhao Mansion softly, but found no one.

When the two were anxious, they didn't expect that there was a sudden knock on the door of Zhao Mansion. When they opened the door, they found two official servants standing outside.

Because Zhao Chi was still on duty in the Ministry of Industry, the servant led the official to see Mrs. Yu.

At that time, Mrs. Yu was instructing Zhong Ling to keep an eye on Cuiwei's every move. Seeing the officials came in, she didn't send them away, and asked them what happened.

From this statement, I found out that Aunt Jin had an affair with someone and died in the inn, leaving only a naked body there, the adulterer may have escaped out of fear.

They said that they had asked Wu Zuo for an autopsy, and the result of Wu Zuo was that Aunt Jin's sunflower water was not exhausted, which made it easier for her adulterer to turn her head upside down, causing her to vent herself and die.

In this way, the case was closed in a hurry. Aunt Jin's body was being placed in Yizhuang, and the Zhao family sent someone to identify the body as soon as possible.

After Zhong Ling finished telling Jin Shu everything, she was sobbing, Aunt Jin is such a wonderful woman.To die so tragically.

Thinking that Zhong Ming had only told her to pay more attention to Aunt Jin when she left, but now that it has become like this, she doesn't know how to face Jin Shu.

At this time, Jin Shu felt her head swell and hurt, she supported her crumbling body, and asked, "Is mother's body in Yizhuang now or back to Zhao Mansion?"

Zhong Ling choked up and sobbed back to her: "After the eldest lady sent those two officials away, she didn't arrange for someone to go to Yizhuang to collect the corpse. She only said that I would wait until the master returned."

"Zhong Ling, go back to the mansion first, and help me go back and look at Yu Qingxin." Jin Shu ordered Zhong Ling with a blank face.

"Girl, what about you, where are you going?"

"I have to go and stay with her."

Zhong Ling saw that Jinshu was the only one who went out without a hat, so walking on the street in a daze like this would definitely cause her to be mistaken.

She stepped forward to hold Jinshu who was walking, but she pushed her away, "Don't bother me, please? If it's really for my own good, the only thing you have to do is to help me take care of Yu Qingxin."

Zhong Ling had no choice but to send Jinshu away with tears in his eyes.

Following the astonished gazes of passers-by, Jinshu asked pedestrians all the way to Yizhuang, the guard saw Jinshu coming here, and quickly stopped her: "You little girl, why are you running around? Where?"

"I'm here to pick up someone." Jin Shu's voice was like fine lines, if it wasn't for the fact that no one was moving around, she couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

"Pick up? It's full of..."

The gatekeeper was afraid of frightening the little girl in front of him, so he didn't finish the rest of the sentence.

Jin Shu looked up at him: "It was delivered today. Jin Mingruo."

The gatekeeper instantly understood what he said.

After being here for so many years, I have never seen a girl who has not been out of the court come to pick up the corpse, and she is not an ordinary person from the clothes.

"Girl, you'd better let the adults in the family come, here?"

Before the gatekeeper could finish speaking, Jin Shu handed her a tael of silver: "Brother, I know what's inside, so I don't need to say more."

The gatekeeper looked at her heartbroken, and felt sorry for her, "Girl, I'm not asking you for money. It's just that there are several other corpses besides the one you mentioned. You will be terrified when you go in." of."

Jin Shu didn't talk anymore, and stuffed a tael of silver into his hand, and pushed open the gate of Yizhuang regardless of the gatekeeper's stop.

In the huge hall, there were more than a dozen cold boards scattered, some were empty, some were covered with white cloth, and some held yellow watches over their faces.

There was a corpse supporting a hand. There were several bruised finger marks on the pale and stiff hand. Jin Shu recognized the bracelet on it at a glance. It was given to her by herself on Qixi last year.

At this moment, Jin Shu's face has lost any expression, she even forgot to blink, big teardrops flow down her mouth one after another.

Walk towards her step by step.

She said she would wait for me to go back, how many days away?

She said she would wait until she got married, why did she leave like this?

Why did I have a bad premonition and leave her alone in the Zhao Mansion?

Jinshu's mind has been blasted by all kinds of scolding, and she can't listen to anything.

The closer you get, the more trembling you get all over your body.

Arriving in front of Aunt Jin, Jin Shu shook her hand: "Mother?"

All she answered was dead silence.

"Mother. I'm back?"

Still no sound.

Jin Shu lifted the white cloth off her body, only to see that she was naked, with love marks all over her body, her eyes were slightly open and the light had disappeared.

Aunt Jin died, and she woke up so unbearably.

Jin Shu looked at her for a long time, and finally broke down emotionally. She knelt beside Aunt Jin's corpse and cried hysterically.

??

Kang Ting had been sitting in Jinshu's room for a long time, but he hadn't waited for Jinshu to return. Seeing Chenqin come in to light the lamp, his heart became more and more uneasy.

When She Man came back today, seeing Kang Ting alone in the room, she thought that Jin Shu had confessed that her condition had worsened, so she took the initiative to discuss her pulse with Kang Ting.

After listening to She Man's statement on Jinshu's pulse condition, Kang Ting thought that she was depressed and couldn't sleep at night, and felt that the big thing was not a second, and that Jinshu's health had reached its limit.

She is so fragile now that maybe a wind and cold can kill her.

This realization made Kang Ting almost suffocate with heartache. He hated himself so much why he refused to look up at her today.

With just one glance, he will be able to see what's going on.

Why did I treat her like this.

"Master, master, the bearers are back..." Lerin shouted hastily outside the courtyard.

Kang Ting thought that Jinshu should have followed her back, and hurriedly got up to open the door for her, but to his disappointment, there was only Lelin alone.

He asked Lelin with a sullen face, "Where are the people from Jinshu?"

Le Lin stammered back to him: "The bearers said that they haven't waited for the girl to come out after they sent the girl to Pingyuanhou's mansion. They sent someone to ask, and only then did they know that Miss Jinshu had left long ago."

Kang Ting asked coldly, "Where did you go?"

"It seems that after a servant named Zhong from Zhao's mansion found Miss Jinshu, he didn't know the rest of the news."

Kang Ting's hand clenched into a fist, with nails embedded in his flesh, strode out.

Lerin quickly followed and asked, "Master, where have you been?"

Kang Ting answered coldly: "Zhao Mansion."

Lelin knew that Kang Ting cared about Jinshu, but he still reminded him: "But it's curfew now."

Kang Ting looked at him with a snort and strode to the stables.
