A gorgeous palace with a large screen. Behind the screen is a comfortable soft couch. The sixth prince Pei Juexu is leaning on it, with a white silk belt tied on his forehead. His hair is scattered casually, and his loose clothes are Only a belt of the same color was worn, revealing the young man's delicate collarbone.

"Your Highness, just let her go?"

"Don't let go."

Fugui was puzzled.

Taking the tea handed over by Fugui, Pei Juexu took a sip: "Such a little bug is more useful alive, fear... fear is very good!"

"Your Highness, just let it go outside the city?"

"It's nice and convenient outside the city." Pei Juexu said leisurely.

"What about the others?"

"Wait and see who can't stand it first, he will be the first! These veteran nobles are doing a lot in private. The eldest brother is fine now, but many people can't sit still."

Pei Juexu closed his eyes and leaned back, his face cold.

"My servant understands." Fugui understood. "Your Highness, this time we are lucky to have the clues sent by Miss Jiang Er. Otherwise, even if we find them, we will have to spend a lot of effort."

"Jiang Jin... heart..."

Fugui lowered his head and didn't move. He didn't need to answer these words.

"not bad!"

The voice was leisurely and gentle, with a long drag and a special meaning.

"Your Highness. His Highness the Crown Prince urges you to arrange a marriage." Fugui frowned and suddenly said cautiously, secretly hoping that although His Highness's words were plain, I had never heard His Highness say this to anyone before.

"Are you Jiang Jinxin?" Pei Juexu smiled.

"What does His Highness the Crown Prince mean..." Fugui became more and more careful.

"Jiang Jinxin saved...me."

"Your Highness, the second time!" Fugui said hurriedly, glancing at Pei Juexu eagerly.

Pei Juexu was very happy at the words of the chamberlain, and waved his hand: "If you don't attend a nice banquet, why is Jiang Jinxin running outside the backyard wall? That day is the spring banquet of Zuo Xiangfu, that would be very strange!"

Fugui was startled, and when he thought of this doubt, he immediately gave up all his thoughts: "What His Highness said is that Miss Jiang Er shouldn't have appeared outside the wall that day. Does Your Highness think this matter has something to do with her? "

If Jiang Jinxin has ill intentions towards His Highness, Fugui will not mind taking Jiang Jinxin's life, even if it is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister!

"It does matter!" Pei Juexu thought thoughtfully.

"Your Highness..."

"It doesn't look like there is any malice. If there really is any, it will be more beneficial to them if I... die that day! Eliminating me early will do a lot of good to those few." Pei Juexu said gently.

"What does Your Highness think...?"

"Look who the Prime Minister Zuo is getting close to." Pei Juexu tapped his slender fingers on the corner of the quilt.

Fugui was startled: "Does Your Highness think that the left... prime minister already belongs to someone else?"

"Let's see! The luck of a... left... prime minister who got such an official position by accident is really weird."

"Your Highness means..."

"Let's take a look, don't be in a hurry!"

Jiang Jinxin saw this Aunt Han, and she came so quickly.

Looking at the mother-in-law in front of her, Jiang Jinxin nodded and sat down next to the old lady. Aunt Han's eyes fell on her, as if she was looking at goods, which made Jiang Jinxin very uncomfortable.

"I heard that you stopped the worship service at Fahua Temple." The old lady put down her tea cup and did not rush to ask about the affairs of Anxinhou Mansion. She glanced at Gu Gu Han who was sitting aside.

"Grandma, the first time I heard about it was two years ago that you gave twenty taels of silver to Fahua Temple. I wonder why grandma would offer so much?"

Jiang Jinxin asked calmly.

"It is an ever-burning lamp that was lit for your grandfather." The old lady said, "It should be offered to the temple for worship."

"Didn't grandma light a lantern for grandpa before?" Jiang Jinxin raised her eyes in surprise, her watery eyes so clear and flowing that they seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

"I ordered them before, also at Fahua Temple. Later, your grandfather asked me in a dream, so I sent more offerings to the temple." The old lady looked slightly unhappy and glanced at her granddaughter, "This happened later. It became a tradition. Fahua Temple is a little far away. When Han Guagu found out about it, she did a favor to our family and asked her to take it there every month."

"Old Madam, you're welcome. Originally, I was going to listen to the sutras. It was just a matter of convenience." Han Guagu said with a smile, "I came out this time, actually just to ask if I really don't need any gifts in the future." With this offering, I don’t have to come over to bring it anymore.”

This does not mean coming to the door to hold someone accountable, but just coming to the door to ask questions.

Jiang Jinxin once again fell on this Han Guagu. It can be seen that her left eye is not working well. Just one glance will make people think that she is an old woman with eye problems. She is also well-dressed, although she is not an old lady. That kind of silk and satin is not something ordinary people can afford.

His cheeks were thin, but now he was smiling and his words were pleasant.

"Grandma, I don't want to stop this offering. Since it is my grandfather's business, I think we should pay more attention to it. After this offering, we must add incense and candles. I am willing to go to Fahua Temple to offer it myself."

Jiang Jinxin smiled slightly.

When Han Guagu came to talk about this matter, the old lady was not happy and felt very embarrassed. Originally, she was going to scold Jiang Jinxin after Han Guagu left. But now after listening to her, her face improved and she looked at Jiang Jinxin. A look of joy.

Aunt Han Gua, who was originally smiling, turned stiff.

"You can go there in one month, but it will be inconvenient in two or three months," the old lady said.

"Grandma, you don't need to go every month. You can worship once a year, and we can just go there as usual." Jiang Jinxin smiled, and she was sure that there were Han Guagu's hands and feet in it.

Twenty taels of silver? Such a large amount of money passes through Han Guagu's hands every month. It's hard to say how much of it ended up going to Fahua Temple.

It's very strange, what is Aunt Gu's purpose in giving such a large sum of money to this Han Guagu?

She didn't believe that Aunt Gu would please an ordinary woman for no reason.

If she wants to figure this out, she has to ask Aunt Han to come to her door. If Aunt Han doesn't come to her door, she won't be able to pay more attention to it. Otherwise, it will appear that she cares too much about the money she is offering. She will make a fuss about it and attract the attention of the old lady. dissatisfied.

"Maybe we'll talk about the future later. I'll send you the money for one year's worship first. Grandma, it's time for us to worship my grandfather, right? Have you worshiped your grandfather since you moved here?"

Jiang Jinxin's eyes turned slightly and said.

The old lady nodded repeatedly: "That's true. I was planning to go before, but then something happened about the spring banquet, so I was delayed."

Since Jiang Xuncheng paid homage to the prime minister, he has not paid a proper visit. Thinking about this, Fahua Temple should indeed go there in person. As for whether it takes a year or a month, the old lady thinks it is not a big problem. Since the granddaughter does not want to refute If you don't care about your own will, this matter is nothing.

"We'll be here this month. If there is any trouble for Han Guagu in the future, let's talk about it... is it possible?" The old lady looked at Han Guagu with a smile.

Jiang Jinxin also turned her eyes and looked at Aunt Han. Had she seen her later? Some vague memories that seemed to be there but not yet passed by in a flash!

Hearing Jiang Jinxin's few words brought a smile to the angry old lady's face. Han Guagu glanced at Jiang Jinxin vaguely again. This was the first time she had seen this second girl of Zuo Xiangfu.

I originally thought it was just a matter of a few simple sentences, but I didn't expect it to actually put me in an embarrassing situation.

His thoughts changed, a smile appeared on his face, he stood up and saluted the old lady: "Old madam, since this is an idea in the house, but it is not bad, then I will leave first."

Jiang Jinxin's eyes fell on this Guagu again, thoughtfully...

"Gu Gu Han, don't leave in a hurry. I wonder if what I said before is feasible?" The old lady smiled and waved her hand, motioning for her to sit down first.

"It's natural for the old lady to open her mouth." Contrary to her previous attitude, Han Guagu agreed.

"Okay, let's take a look." The old lady was overjoyed and asked Han Gugu to sit down and discuss the details.

"Old madam, I'm afraid that's not possible now. The next time I come here, I have to prepare some things first. Otherwise, it won't work without the utensils. Some things are very crucial." Han Guagu waved her hand.

The old lady frowned: "When is the right time?"

"Three days. After three days, I will bring the things over and show the house to see if there is anything... recently." Han Guagu smiled and glanced at Jiang Jinxin again covertly.

"Okay, then we have Aunt Lao Han Gua!" The old lady nodded in agreement. There have been troubles in the house recently. The eldest granddaughter, the eldest grandson, herself, her son and the Kong family all seemed to have something going on. She just heard that Han Gua Some of the things my aunt mentioned made the old lady's heart skip a beat. Could it be that she really bumped into something bad?

The new mansion we just moved to had its Feng Shui inspected at the time, and some bad parts had to be rearranged. Now I’m wondering if it’s possible... to do it, but I still haven’t seen it in place?

"Old madam, can you send someone to guide me around the house later? I'll roughly identify the location first." Han Guagu suggested.

"Okay!" the old lady said, "Here comes someone."

A woman came in and waited.

The old lady asked her to lead Han Gugu away.

Jiang Jinxin sat quietly aside, watching the interaction between Han Guagu and the old lady. Seeing that Guagu saluted her very politely when she left, Jiang Jinxin nodded with a smile.

Aunt Han Gua left.

"What did your grandmother say?" As soon as the person came down, the old lady's eyes fell on Jiang Jinxin and asked.

"Grandma, grandma sent someone over and is waiting outside." Jiang Jinxin smiled.

"What does your grandmother mean?" The old lady's face darkened, and she had a bad feeling. At this time, Mrs. Kong sent someone over. What does it mean?

"Grandma, grandma didn't say anything. She was just worried about my mother. She came here because she was worried about my mother's affairs and wanted to discuss something with her." Jiang Jinxin simply pointed out the direction.

"What happened to your aunt?"

Jiang Jinxin shook her head: "Grandma didn't say much. She only said that she had to resolve her aunt's matters by herself. Now, the thing she is most worried about is her mother."

The old lady looked at Jiang Jinxin and saw that her expression was as usual, then she said in a low voice: "Come here, bring this person in."

A maid went down and led the mother-in-law of Anxinhou's mansion into the door. After entering, the mother-in-law first bowed respectfully to the old lady.

The old lady recognized this as a woman beside Mrs. Kong.

"What's the matter with your wife?" When she looked up, the old lady had already become friendly and looked like a gentle old lady.
