Her wrists were covered in warmth, and Song Jinyin was pushed behind the door by a sudden force.
She looked up in confusion, and before she could react, her lip was bitten by Pei Yanzhou, who was leaning closer.
The overwhelming kiss swept her away crazily, and the man's movements were fierce and ruthless, leaving no way for her to escape.
There were footsteps passing by outside, and Xueyu's questioning voice came from far away.
Song Jinyin's heart tightened, and she stretched out her hand to push the person away.
It's just that this hand couldn't use any strength, but as soon as it touched the skirt of his clothes, he grabbed it and pushed it against the door with his backhand.
"Want to get married?"
A warm kiss slid from lips to earlobes.
Before Song Jinyin could take a breath, the hot air that fell into her ears made her whole body numb.
But just under this lingering concern, the man's tone was full of sinisterness.
"Go and ask, who dares to touch my woman, Pei Yanzhou?"
...
The kiss lasted for a long time.
Pei Yanzhou didn't stop until Xueyu left without asking anyone.
"Your Majesty, a message has been sent from the palace. Your Majesty wants you to come into the palace."
Pei Yanzhou gasped. He just wanted her to have a longer memory, but he didn't want to almost get emotional in this tug.
The cold wind outside the house rushed in as the door opened. Pei Yanzhou frowned slightly and raised his hand to call Butler Wang.
When Song Jinyin went to Fu Luyuan again, it was already half an hour later. After confirming that Mrs. Liu was not there, she followed her mother inside.
"Greetings to the old lady."
Looking at the well-behaved girl below, the old lady sighed softly and motioned for her to come closer.
"You were wronged about what happened yesterday."
"I'm not wronged, I just made the eldest daughter and the prince unhappy. It's my fault."
Song Jinyin's eyes were calm and her words were respectful.
The old lady can express her distress, but she must not accept the distress, otherwise she will be overstepping the rules and being ignorant.
"This slave is here today to receive punishment from the old lady."
Song Jinyin knocked her forehead to the ground without any hesitation.
The thin body under the dress was trembling slightly. I don't know whether it was from fright or because of the biting cold wind outside.
When the old lady saw her like this, satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Things can't be done for now, so don't worry.
As long as this person has an idea and knows where to rely, that's the most important thing.
It wasn't until Song Jinyin finished kowtowing her head properly that the old lady asked her grandma to help her up.
"I know you respect the rules, but there are no outsiders at the moment. You are... well, you have been wronged after all."
"My slave knows that the old lady is kind-hearted."
Song Jinyin's voice was filled with fear as she respectfully avoided her grandma's support.
She was still kneeling on the ground, her bloodless face showing uneasiness, her weakness and fear showing through her eyebrows.
Such a show of weakness made even the scheming old lady startled.
If she hadn't carried the Pei family on her back and such a sensible and well-behaved girl in front of her, she would have been willing to let Yan Zhouna enter the backyard and give him a status to accompany him well.
But after all, he has no identity.
Song Jinyin's voice came next, a little cautiously.
"I'm scared. Although I really want to do something for the old lady, today, the prince has already learned about it from the eldest girl's mouth, and has even made a grudge. I feel that it's no longer the time to send people in." good time."
There is a difference between seeing a new person enter the courtyard and someone else exposing the matter before the person is admitted.
The old lady frowned and looked sharply at the girl kneeling below her.
Seeing that although he was frightened but not trying to dodge, his sharp eyes softened.
It's just that there was a sense of resentment in those words. I'm afraid that what she did with her second wife would also be recorded in the fact that she was trying to hide someone behind her back.
This Qi family is really a person who succeeds more than fails!
"It's hard for you too."
The old lady's eyes turned kind again, and she motioned for her to stand up: "If Wen Shu hadn't been arrogant, you wouldn't have had to suffer such an unreasonable disaster. We'll talk about giving it away later. It's a big deal for you to take good care of yourself."
"Slave, thank you to the old lady. If it weren't for the old lady's concern, I might have lost my life long ago in this mansion... I don't dare to expect anything else. I just hope that I will be lucky to be able to leave the mansion alive in the future."
Song Jinyin bit her lip, mist overflowed from her eyes, but she quickly raised her hand to wipe it away.
Fragile, yet stubborn.
There was pity in the old lady's eyes, as if an elder in the family felt sorry for their children and grandchildren.
...
Lingqiao sent Song Jinyin out of Fu Luyuan, and when she turned around, she handed the basket of fruits to her hand.
"Miss Jinyin, please don't worry too much. Since the old lady has nodded, the girl's days will definitely get better and better."
"Thank you, Sister Lingqiao."
Song Jinyin bent her knees, facing the bright sun, and squinted her eyes slightly: "It is my blessing to be valued by the old lady."
Today's sky is a little brighter than yesterday, and the rain for several days has finally cleared away.
Song Jinyin walked around the corridor and walked towards the prince's courtyard.
The gratitude in his eyes dissipated, and as soon as he stepped out of Fuluyuan, he returned to his usual indifferent and cold look.
She had long known that the old lady had been looking for opportunities for her to do things.
The old lady is waiting, and so is she.
Now that the window paper was finally pierced, she finally got the old lady's nod.
Although this nod was only a superficial gesture, it at least gave her a little more hope.
Song Jinyin looked at the bluestone road beneath her feet blankly.
The things the old lady told her may not necessarily come true, but her intention to leave the house must be seen by the old lady.
A figure stopped in front of her. Song Jinyin raised her head, knelt down and saluted, her eyes darkening.
"This slave has met the second young master."
"Sister Jinyin, there is no need to be polite."
The clear voice was like the spring breeze blowing on the face. Occasionally, the maids passing by were brave enough to raise their eyes and look at him secretly, with joy on their faces. Only Song Jinyin felt resistance in her heart.
She calmly took half a step back, then turned sideways, waiting for Pei Jinzhi to pass by first.
"The second young master has promoted me. I am a slave and a vulgar maid. How can I be worthy of the second young master's sister?"
"Even if we don't have the relationship of eldest brother, when you entered the house, you and I were called brother and sister. Is it possible that now, sister Jinyin only remembers the current things and has completely forgotten the past?"
Song Jinyin's eyes flickered, knowing that Pei Jinzhi's words had brought up the rockery in a roundabout way.
The reason why she dared to ask Pei Jinzhi for help yesterday was because of his gentleness in the house.
A gentleman would not leave her alone, and there was no way he could attack her directly.
"The prince once told me that as a slave, you only need to remember your duty. For the rest, if you remember too much, you will make many mistakes, and if you say too much, you will make more mistakes."
Song Jinyin lowered her head and her voice was neither urgent nor slow.
"Really? Sister Jinyin is completely devoted to her eldest brother, but I wonder if the princess will enter the house in the future, will there be room for my sister in the backyard?"
"Slave, of course..."
"careful."
Pei Jinzhi raised his hand and brushed her shoulder. When he pulled it back, he raised his fingertips lightly and quickly traced the side of her cheek, "There are insects."
Song Jinyin was shocked when she saw Pei Jinzhi leaning forward and getting closer.
"I heard that your Majesty is concerned about your eldest brother's marriage. How long do you think, sister Jinyin, that you can stay with him? In other words, given my eldest brother's temperament, how long can he keep you?"
"There aren't many people in my backyard. My eldest brother has always been ruthless. Rather than being thrown into Qianjin Pavilion by him, it's better to make plans early."
"It's impossible for him to be soft-hearted for you, sister Jinyin, you know better than anyone else."
Ambition flashed across Pei Jinzhi's eyes very quickly.
He originally wanted to use Pei Yanzhou to force this girl to death, but after a few more glances, he had other thoughts.
Song Jinyin's eyes became colder and colder, and when she couldn't avoid it, she simply gave up on retreating.
She knew that Pei Yanzhou was ruthless, but Pei Jinzhi was definitely not a good person.
