In the back room of the Xiangguo Temple mansion, the little princess whispered what happened. Lin Jue sat there dumbfounded and listened.
"Last night, while you were drinking with guests and friends, Xiaohu came to the back house and told Lu Wu what he heard. Lu Wu was distracted after hearing this. After my repeated questioning, Lu Wu told all about it.
She told me. In fact, Lu Wu had discovered the clue not long ago, but she never dared to be sure." The little princess said softly.
Lu Wu nodded beside him and said: "Yes, sir, do you still remember the day we went to Mr. Yulin Lane's house for a drink? Mr. Yan was there too. When you were drinking in the main room that day, I saw the raccoon figure exposed behind the door curtain of the west wing.
Sister Qiu’s face. I was so frightened at the time that I thought... I thought it was Sister Huanqiu’s ghost who had come back. But when I thought about it later, I thought it was impossible. I planned to tell you on the way back, but...
But I didn't dare to say it. After all, I couldn't be too sure, and I was afraid that the young master would say that I was talking nonsense. When I went there again later, I looked for any clues, but found nothing, so I kept this matter in my heart. Xiaohu followed me.
Said, I realized that this is all true, Sister Huanqiu is indeed not dead."
Lin Jue's mind went blank and he didn't know what to think. His whole body seemed to be frozen.
"Husband, we planned to tell you last night. But you were drunk and fell asleep, so we didn't tell you. We didn't intend to hide it from you. After I learned about this, I decided to tell you.
Wu can testify. I know what happened between you and Miss Huanqiu, and I admire her for making such a choice in order not to drag you down. I think I shouldn't hide it from you. It's just that I didn't have time." Guo Caiwei said solemnly.
"Yes, Young Master, when I told you about this, I was still worried about whether you would... would run to find Miss Huanqiu. But the princess sister said that if the Young Master has no love for her in his heart, he will not be able to stay no matter what.
If there is love, the young master will have his choice. So, I decided to tell you." Lu Wu looked at the gold hairpin and the marriage certificate on the table and said softly: "Now it seems that Sister Huanqiu will definitely know.
She has heard about the marriage between the young master and the princess, so these things must have been sent by her. She must be angry and sad. Hey, what should I do?"
Lin Jue's mind gradually became calmer, and he began to think more slowly. The context of the whole incident was already very clear. Fang Huanqiu did not die, but she thought her illness was incurable, so she faked her death to make herself give up.
.This silly girl acted out such a play because she really thought about herself. Moreover, Mr. Fang and his wife must also love their daughter very much and cooperated with her in acting out this play in order to fulfill her wish.
After the whole incident came to light, many details suddenly became clear. All the things that aroused my doubts after learning about Fang Huanqiu's death also became clear.
For example, after the Fang family informed him of Huanqiu's death, Lin Jue was devastated, but he felt that his husband and his wife were not so sad. Lin Jue had this feeling at that time. Mrs. Fang was such an emotional person, and he
When she cried bitterly, she only shed a few tears, and there was no sadness in her expression. Her husband didn't show any expression at all. They all focused on comforting themselves, but it didn't look like their only daughter had died.
I was so distraught and upset at the time that I didn't think deeply about it at all.
Also, I later went to Mr. Fang’s residence in the academy, but I rarely went into the house to talk. My husband always took me to talk in the yard or on the porch. Thinking about it carefully, I rarely even went into the house.
.The only time I asked to go into the room where Huan Qiu was alive was to sit there, but my wife refused because the room had not been cleaned for a long time and was full of dust.
After the Southeastern Oiran Competition last year, Lin Jue originally made an appointment to send Fang Dunru and his wife back to the academy. However, his husband and his wife left without saying hello. When he caught up with him, he was in the carriage of the big car.
I saw a vague figure. It was funny that at the time I jokingly thought it was Mr. Fang who had taken a new concubine. Now that I think about it, it must be Huanqiu who came to watch the Oiran Competition.
There are also recent things. On the day I went to see Fang Dunru for the first time after arriving in the capital, I had already arrived at the entrance of Yulin Alley, but my husband suddenly changed his mind and refused to let me go. There was also the day when I asked to visit Huanqiu’s tomb, and my husband and I
Neither the wife nor the wife agreed. Every time they arrived at Fang's house, both the husband and the wife would speak loudly, as if they were reminding someone in the house.
Etc., etc……
The more I think about these kinds of details, the clearer they become. All of this is to prevent myself from discovering the truth about Huanqiu's life. But I am as unconscious as a blind and deaf person, and I don't even have the slightest clue about Huanqiu's death.
I have no doubts. In fact, the more I think about it, the more flaws there are. I just blame myself for being too slow and not thinking deeply at all.
But now, he is married to the little princess, but he has learned that Huanqiu is still alive. And these things must be sent by Huanqiu. From that poem, we can see that Huanqiu is blaming himself for finding a new love.
Ungrateful. In this ignorance and slowness, I broke Huanqiu's heart. This girl who loved me so much should be heartbroken now and hate me to the bone.
What should I do now? Lin Jue was also in a state of confusion. He was filled with guilt, but at the same time he felt a strange sense of joy. Huanqiu was still alive, and that was his first love, a woman who held a very important place in his heart.
Of course he hopes that she is alive, and hopes to see her again. However, now that he is a husband, how can he see Huanqiu again? What will happen if he does? Can he still abandon the little princess? That is absolutely impossible
possible.
Guo Caiwei's position in his heart has already surpassed that of all women in more than a year. She has endured all the hardships for herself but remains unswerving. It is impossible for her to be sorry for her. She is already his wife, and he
I will protect her and love her all my life, so how can I abandon her all the time? But Huanqiu is alive, how can I pretend not to know? That is even more impossible.
Of course Lin Jue hopes that he can be with Huanqiu, but this is impossible. This is an era where three wives and four concubines are very normal, but it is absolutely impossible for a woman like Fang Huanqiu to marry someone else as a concubine. Fang
Dunru will never allow his daughter to become a concubine. This is an insult to him. Therefore, between the young princess and Huanqiu, he, Lin Jue, can only marry one person as his wife. If it is someone like Xie Yingying, who is dancing in the green dance,
Because of his identity, it was much easier to handle. Because of this, the matter became irreversible, forcing Lin Jue to be in a dilemma, and he was heartbroken and soulless.
It was quiet and peaceful in the back house. A breeze blew through the flower trees in the yard. The leaves of the trees shook and the willows and flowers moved. The branches made a rustling sound in the wind. The sound was as turbulent and difficult as the emotions of the couple in the hall of the back house.
An, ups and downs.
"Husband, Weier thinks you should go see Fang Huanqiu. I was moved by her after hearing what you said. You should go see her and have an explanation." Guo Caiwei's soft voice broke the dull silence.
atmosphere.
Lu Wu looked at Guo Caiwei in surprise. She didn't know if Guo Caiwei was telling the truth. Logically speaking, how could Guo Caiwei let the young master go to see Miss Huanqiu? Wouldn't it be rekindling an old relationship, and what good would it do to her?
Lin Jue was also a little surprised and looked up at Guo Caiwei's calm and pretty face.
"Weier, what... do you mean?"
"My husband is a loving and righteous man, so he should resolve this matter. Miss Fang is very affectionate towards you, and your husband is not a ruthless person, so he cannot remain indifferent. Therefore, your husband should go see Miss Fang and clear up the misunderstanding, so as not to make Miss Fang sad."
Misunderstood you."
"But……"
"You don't have to worry about me." Guo Caiwei smiled and said: "I didn't say anything against my will. If it weren't for Miss Fang's identity that it would be impossible for me to marry you as my concubine, I would even personally facilitate this. One more sister, one more caring person.
I will not be jealous or unhappy if a righteous man serves my husband. Unfortunately, Miss Fang’s status makes it impossible for her to marry her husband. I let her husband go, not because I have no feelings, but I believe that my husband can solve the matter by himself. If my husband
I feel that if I love Miss Fang more, Weier will help me. If my husband has me in his heart, he will solve the problem properly. Therefore, my husband should go find Miss Fang. Weier is telling the truth."
Lin Jue reached out to hold Guo Caiwei's weak and boneless hand, feeling both moved and guilty in her heart. Regardless of whether Guo Caiwei really thought so, the fact that she could say these words at this moment shows that she is an intellectual.
Da Li is a virtuous and virtuous woman. Yesterday, she took the initiative to ask Lu Wu to marry her, which shows that she is a person who cares about the feelings of others. This move at this moment is even more admirable.
Lin Jue had actually decided to explain it clearly to Fang Huanqiu, but if he hurt the little princess for Fang Huanqiu, Lin Jue would never do it. Some things may be destined to leave regrets. Although Lin Jue didn't want to, he couldn't change it.
"Weier, thank you very much. You are right, I should go and settle this matter. I am going to see Huanqiu to untie this knot, so that she and I can take off this burden and live a better life. So.
I'm going on this trip, but I want to take you with me to see her. If Huanqiu knew that I married a wife as virtuous and courteous as you, she would be relieved. I know Huanqiu, she is actually
She is a very kind-hearted woman. Although she sent this gift with the intention of blaming her, she was restrained." Lin Jue said softly.
Guo Caiwei smiled and nodded. She knew what Lin Jue was thinking. Lin Jue was willing to take her with him. This was a way of telling himself that he would not have second thoughts about her. With this smart move, he gave himself a
Reassurance, this made Guo Caiwei fall in love with Lin Jue even more.
"That's fine, I'll just accompany my husband. Maybe Miss Fang and I can become good friends." Guo Caiwei said with a smile.
At that moment, Lin Jue asked Xiaohu to set up the car, and the couple got on the car together and headed to Fang's house in Yulin Lane. The closer they got to Yulin Lane, the more excited Lin Jue became. His thoughts and emotions for Fang Huanqiu still surged out in his heart, and it was difficult to
Containment. Lin Jue secretly warned himself to be calm and rational, and not to act emotionally.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Fang family's courtyard. Lin Jue slowly got out of the car. Several people stood in front of the courtyard door, but found that the courtyard door was locked. The Fang family was actually empty.
Lin Jue stood at the door and called several times, but no one responded. When the neighbor's old woman heard the noise, she poked her head out and asked Lin Jue and others: "Are you here to see the Fang family?"
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Yes, Madam, do you know where the Fang family has gone? Why is there no one at home just this morning?"
The woman smiled and said: "Of course there is no one left? In the middle of the night last night, the Fang family all moved away."
Lin Jue opened his mouth in shock and was speechless.
