Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 164 Destruction
The British princess saw Pan Jiaming, who looked pitiful just now, making faces with Pan Shuling in the blink of an eye, and secretly shook her head in a funny way, when will this grandson grow up?But according to the queen, Ming'er seemed to be reacting quite well these days when she was working as an errand at the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Xiao Feng's words rang in her ears again: "Although the old lady is relaxed, Zihe (Pan Jiaming's nickname) is more playful, but his heart is very clear. If he really wants to do something, he must do it better than others. Even if the old lady doesn’t believe my words, doesn’t she also believe in the emperor’s vision?”

This is true. Although the current emperor was established as a prince at the age of six, his journey has not been very smooth. He has been able to ascend the throne safely and firmly hold the position until now. He has also experienced many life and death plots. Naturally, he is not a soft-hearted or emotional person. .If it is said that because of the relationship between the queen and the emperor, it is possible that the emperor would protect Pan Jiaming more and reward him more, but it is absolutely impossible to reuse Pan Jiaming and entrust him with something as important as the Baieling Gold Mine just because of these. .

Glancing at the Duke of Guo, who still had a dark face, and Da Fang, who had ulterior motives, a calculating and unwilling look on his face, the old lady pursed her lips, as long as her grandson knew what was going on.Whether he was a real playboy before or whether he had great ambitions, now his grandson can be regarded as walking on the Sunshine Avenue, with the emperor watching and Xiao Feng helping him, there is no mistake.She just needs to take good care of her granddaughter Shu Ling now. When her grandson marries a good woman and her granddaughter marries a good family in a few years, she will be complete and have an account of her son and daughter-in-law who died young.

"Second brother," a clear voice broke the awkward atmosphere in the hall. It was Pan Shuying, the eldest daughter of Mr. Pan, "When will you come back from this trip? Will you return to Beijing at the end of the year?" Her wedding date At the end of the year, the presence or absence of the Crown Prince's son will definitely make a big difference. Now who doesn't know that the second wife is the direct descendant, and the emperor and queen only value the second wife?Pan Jiaming was kind to their eldest son. With Pan Jiaming helping to say a few nice words, the queen might be willing to give her some face. Then her husband's family would value her more, right?Speaking of which, if Mrs. Li hadn't owed the Duke a favor, her marriage wouldn't have been possible.

Pan Jiaming turned his head with a smile, and was about to agree happily, but suddenly remembered something, glanced at the Duke, and responded with a stern voice: "Well, if the emperor calls, I will definitely come back, sneak back. I don’t even dare to think about it anymore.”

The Duke of Guo nodded with satisfaction, and his expression softened a lot: "That's right, what can be more important than the emperor's mission? Not to mention sneaking back, don't even mention it. A man is a man. So what if we celebrate the New Year outside? The soldiers guarding the border still have to fight during the Chinese New Year."

Pan Jiaming responded respectfully: "Yes, my grandson will obey his grandfather's orders." His attitude was really rare and obedient.

The Duke of Guo felt a great sense of accomplishment for a moment, and his face lit up. However, why did the eldest family members look aggrieved, and his most beloved eldest granddaughter Ying'er looked at him with a begging look on her face?
Yes, Ying'er was getting married to the Prime Minister's Mansion in November, and the Duke suddenly realized that the eldest granddaughter and his son-in-law wanted the second son to return to Beijing to attend the wedding ceremony.But...but...he just educated the second boy, how could he change his mind and let him come back?Besides, the wedding ceremony of the eldest granddaughter is indeed not as important as the emperor’s official appointment, isn’t it?Once the errand is completed, the emperor will summon the second boy back to the capital. If the errand is not completed, what does it matter if he asks the second boy to come back?Do family affairs take precedence over state affairs, and do you pretend to be the abbot of the country and rely on pampering?This is the trait he despises the most, right?
Thinking of this, the unbearable feeling in Mr. Guo's heart disappeared completely: "However, when Ying'er gets married at the end of the year, you, as the elder brother, must express something. People will never come back, and their intentions will always come, so prepare in advance. Or just ask your grandmother to prepare it for you."

"Grandfather," Pan Shuying said hurriedly, no longer caring about the elegance, etiquette, restraint and quietness she usually wore, "the queen's aunt loves the second brother the most. As long as the second brother opens his mouth, the emperor will definitely..."

"Shut up! Didn't you hear what I said? It's just a marriage. How can it be more important than the errands sent by the emperor?" The Duke was so angry that his liver ached. This granddaughter has always been the most sensible and well-behaved. What happened today?Destroy him in front of the whole family?Don’t you know how many emperors and queens there are in the mansion?Of course, they just wait for the second boy and the fifth girl.

It was the first time that Pan Shuying was reprimanded by her grandfather like this. She felt so wronged that it was just a matter of getting married?If it were Pan Shuling who got married, would his grandfather still say this?No, if it was Pan Shuling, my grandfather would never have the chance to say it. The emperor and empress would have called back the second brother. What kind of errand would be inseparable from a playboy who only knows how to race and fight?
"Silly girl," Ms. Song patted Pan Shuying's shoulder comfortingly, "Who doesn't know that you are kissing your second brother? I hope your second brother can send you out. Don't worry, your second brother has always loved you the most. How many months does it take? Your second brother is determined and will definitely finish the errand and come back as soon as possible. If it is really that difficult and cannot be completed, as your grandfather said, nothing is more important than the emperor's errand. Come on, wipe it out quickly I apologized to your grandfather and second brother with tears, aren't you most worried about your grandfather getting angry and getting bad?"

Mrs. Song said while winking at Pan Shuying. This daughter has always been smart and calmer than her in many cases. Today she was really impulsive.Why are you so anxious about what will happen in a few months?If you have anything to say, you can only talk to Pan Jiaming. How can you encourage him in front of the old man and the old woman? Besides, the old man has just taught Pan Jiaming in a high-sounding way how to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Isn't this a slap in the old man's face?People like the old man must be touched along the hair.

Sure enough, after hearing the words of his eldest daughter-in-law and goddaughter, the Duke nodded secretly. This daughter-in-law is quite good. Except for her background and appearance, which are a little worse than Huo's (Pan Jiaming's mother), she is not as good as her husband and goddaughter in all aspects. Not inferior, he has also managed the Duke's mansion in an orderly manner over the years.It's just a pity that the queen just doesn't like her, alas!
Thinking of this, the Duke of Guo felt more pity for the people in the eldest house, especially Pan Shuying who was saluting and apologizing to him with tears in his eyes. He said warmly: "Forget it, it's mainly because the second boy is used to being careless, so you guys just follow I can't come back." The Duke's wife frowned and was about to retort a few words when she saw Pan Jiaming winking and coming over to pour tea for her: "Grandma, your Majesty has said that if you do this job well, you will be rewarded. I'm the only one..." The following words were almost whispered into the old lady's ear, and even little Shu Ling smiled and stretched her head to join in the fun.Although they couldn't hear anything, the smiles of the three people still hurt the hearts of some people, including the Duke.

Mr. Pan and Mr. Song were in very complicated moods. According to Pan Jiaming's temperament, he would definitely have to refute what the old man said just now, or even lose his temper.But today, not only did he endure it, but he also calmly stopped the old lady, which made the Duke feel a little uncomfortable.

Mr. Pan couldn't help but glare at Ms. Song. Didn't she always boast that she controlled Pan Jiaming very well? Why couldn't she control her recently?If he had known that he would have gotten rid of this kid back then, he would not have believed it. Even when the queen was left with only their brothers and nephews, she still looked down upon him.However, the masked man who helped him at that time warned him that if the eldest wife, father and son disappeared one after another, the queen would definitely become suspicious, and the emperor would definitely have people investigate to the end, and he would not be able to save his life, let alone seize the title.

But what now?Even if the Song family lived up to his expectations and raised that damn boy to death, and became famous, wouldn't the emperor still love him very much and even start to use him more?The Emperor and the Empress must have talked to him a lot recently and taught him a lot, right?He stayed in the palace to eat every three days.

The Song family also hated it, but there was nothing they could do about it.Pan Jiaming is becoming more and more out of character and elusive now. But in the past, she allowed him to be unreliable to others, including the Queen, the Duke and his wife, but now he is the most unreliable to her. .Yes, Pan Jiaming has been unreliable towards her as an eldest aunt since he agreed to pick up her and Min'er but easily broke the appointment, causing her to be embarrassed in her parents' home.What is the reason?Once again it can be said to be a coincidence, but again three times, four times, five times... it is not a coincidence.Could it be that being favored by the emperor aroused his ambition and made him learn to use his brain and calculate?It's just like this now, and in the future there will be Xiao Feng, a stubborn and cunning person, encouraging and instigating, won't it be even harder to control?

It was originally a happy event for the emperor to send a fat man, but many people in the British government were feeling melancholy. Only the Duke's wife, Pan Shuling, and Xiao Feng, whom the Duke's wife had specially sent for, happily celebrated Pan Jiaming that night.When Mr. Guo asked, Mrs. Guo Gong glanced at him casually: "The emperor sent Xiao Feng to assist Ming'er. Xiao Feng was rescued by Bing'er. He grew up in Bing'er's wife's village, so he can be regarded as Bing'er. The couple are juniors, so naturally our family has to show their respect. But haven’t I always liked Xiao Feng? I and Ming’er will not bother me anymore.”

The Duke of Guo was holding his breath. He didn't like Xiao Feng at that time. Wasn't it because Xiao Feng defeated Pan Jiajin?But now Xiao Feng was appointed by the Emperor to serve as Pan Jiaming's staff. Even if he didn't like it, he couldn't show it. Otherwise, wouldn't he be dissatisfied with the Emperor's arrangement?This old wife had been separated from him since he forcefully brought Pan Ruye and his mother-in-law, Aunt Xiang, into the house nearly 40 years ago. Even though he only had three aunts in his life, she never let go. , even his two legitimate sons and daughters are not close to him.

But what can be done?Madam never quarreled with him, just so lightly, and all his anger was like a heavy punch on a pile of cotton.

Two days later, Pan Jiaming set off, taking only Xiao Feng, Si Tiao, Er Tong, and the carriage driver Uncle Zhuang. Not to mention the maids, he didn't even bring a mother-in-law with him. Mrs. Song, who originally wanted to pretend to be a loving mother and arrange for two maids, quickly shut up.

In an inconspicuous little village full of sweet-scented osmanthus trees on the outskirts of Beijing, Master Pixiu, wearing a half-mask, sat on the imperial concubine's couch in the study, tapping his fingers on the table.Because half of his face was hidden in the golden mask, no one could see his face clearly, but the chaotic tapping sound revealed his irritability at the moment.When he first found the hidden risks (the list), he felt at ease and returned to his usual calmness.But then for some reason, the more I thought about it, the more doubtful I became. That list could indeed ruin many of his things, but since Yin Zhao had control of the list, why didn't he give it to the emperor?He couldn't judge Yin Zhao's thoughts and purposes, so he couldn't rest assured. He always felt that there were cold arrows pointing at him from all around.

Also, many things have been out of his control recently. He would never have thought that Pan Jiaming, the most handsome man in the capital, would help the emperor find the Baieling gold mine. Those people are so useless!He knew Pan Jiaming's virtues best. He was the one who showed Pan Ruye the way back then. It was the easiest and most effective way to raise a seven or eight-year-old child. Naturally, he couldn't let Pan Ruye and his wife except Pan Jiaming. Then It is a useful chess piece.

However, Pan Jiaming actually ruined an extremely important step in his overall plan!
Luo City, Luo City, he needs to think again!
