Chapter 122: Jin'an Dynasty Tradition?
What Song Yunxi didn't expect was that the imperial physician Xu Hua whom she knew in her previous life was actually the palace physician of the Pingnan General's Mansion and the military doctor of the Pingnan Army.
To say that Xu Hua has nothing to do with Mrs. Fang San's wife, Chen...
Haha, who are you trying to fool?
Suddenly I wanted to go to the General Pingnan's mansion to ask what to do. Would it be too presumptuous to just go there?
But she was really curious. From Emperor Qinglong to the princes and then to the ministers, was being cheated on becoming a tradition in the Jin'an Dynasty?
Just as she was itching to bear it, Qing He rushed in from outside: "Miss, something happened!"
The girls' college was already in chaos; even people from Jingzhao Prefecture had arrived.
Song Yunxi saw Ye Xuanqi coming from afar and couldn't help but sigh: "The prince really has nothing to do!"
I've been encountering him too often recently, and it feels like he's everywhere.
Ye Xuanqi didn't care at all and replied with a smile: "I just joined the cabinet, so I am more informed. Besides, this is related to General Fang San, I can't just ignore it."
Song Yunxi thought about it and agreed that this was true. Ye Xuanqi had been in the army since he was young, so his relationship with the generals in the army was naturally extraordinary.
As they approached, they heard the sad and helpless cry of Mrs. Chen, the third wife of Fang San. "Miss An, please spare me. I have been married to my husband for ten years. During these ten years, he has been away fighting outside. I stayed alone in the capital and tried my best to manage the inner house for him."
"Now that he has finally returned to the capital, I thought we could finally be reunited, but now he wants to divorce me because of you..."
Chen covered her face and cried in despair: "If he really divorces me, he will force me to die!"
Those who studied in the girls' school were all noble ladies in the capital, all of whom were legitimate daughters. They had always looked down on those born out of wedlock and concubines, and even more so on those lowly women who relied on their looks to make men divorce their wives.
Especially seeing Chen's pitiful and helpless appearance forms a sharp contrast with An Qingya who is as cold and aloof as an orchid in a valley.
Moreover, it was heard that the father of Chen, the third wife of the General Pingnan's Mansion, was only a sixth-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, while An Qingya's father was a second-rank palace scholar who had long been in the cabinet. He was a clean official among the civil officials and was highly valued by the emperor. He was also a great scholar of the time whose disciples were spread throughout the Jin'an Dynasty.
In addition, the female teacher An Qingya was a well-known talented woman in the capital, and even the literati and poets in Northern Chu and Southern Yue highly praised her talent.
She had a strong family background and was extremely outstanding, so no one ever criticized her even though she was still unmarried at the age of 26.
In addition, An Qingya is a well-known iceberg beauty. She has always been cold and aloof and never interacts with anyone, which adds to her mystery. Even at her old age, she still attracts many nobles and powerful officials.
It seemed that the youth and beauty that these noble ladies had always been proud of were simply not worth mentioning compared to An Qingya.
This has already caused many of them to feel jealous. In addition, as a teacher, An Qingya is always serious and extremely strict, so these noble ladies can be said to have long-standing resentment towards An Qingya.
Such a rare opportunity to humiliate her, how could they miss it?
So you and I started to accuse An Qingya of seducing a married man and being frivolous and dissolute, which was a disgrace to her status as a teacher.
An Qingya was still aloof and arrogant: "Madam Fang San, you said that your husband has been away from home for many years, and I have lived in the capital for many years. We have not seen each other or had any contact in the past ten years. I really don't have the ability that you said can destroy the relationship between you and your husband out of thin air."
Yes, how can people in the capital seduce people far away at the border?
Some noble ladies who respected An Qingya's character and talent also seized the opportunity to refute and prove her innocence.
Chen's crying stopped abruptly. How could she have overlooked such an important point?
For ten years, she was neglected by her husband. In those ten years of life like a dry well, her youth had passed and she had withered away, no longer as bright and carefree as before.
The pain of not being able to get the love she wanted made her unrecognizable due to the resentment and unwillingness that accumulated in her heart.
She is now Mrs. Fang San, Fang Chen, but she is no longer the confident, willful, courageous Chen Sirong who dared to fight for everything. However, An Qingya is still the flower of the mountain that she could not reach ten years ago, and she is still the An Qingya that makes men covet her but disdain her.
Chen's twisted heart became more filled with hatred, and he secretly vowed to drag An Qingya, this noble flower from the mountaintop, into the mud no matter what, and make her struggle painfully in the dirty mud for the rest of her life.
When Fang Chengwei learned that Chen had gone to the girls' school to cause trouble for An Qingya, he hurried over from the military camp.
His carelessness when he was young had already caused her a lot of pain, and now she must not let her peace be disturbed or get into trouble because of him again.
"The three generals are in a hurry. What are they planning to do?"
However, before Fang Chengwei entered the girls' school, he was stopped by Song Yunxi who was waiting outside the door.
Although Fang Chengwei was grateful to Song Yunxi for curing the miasma for the men of their Fang family, allowing the Fang family to have offspring, he had no time to pay attention to her at this moment.
"I will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future, but I have to take my leave today as I am tied up with worldly matters."
After saying this, he clasped his fists and bowed to Song Yunxi and was about to leave, even ignoring Ye Xuanqi who was beside her.
"If the general thinks that Master An's notoriety is not improving fast enough, he can go and rescue her as soon as possible."
Her words successfully made Fang Chengwei pause, and he turned around and asked her with a sullen face: "What do you mean, Miss?"
Song Yunxi sighed helplessly, not knowing whether to say that he was too concerned or that his military mind was crude.
Ye Xuanqi knew that she was too lazy to say more, so he took the initiative to solve Fang Chengwei's doubts: "Chen is now accusing Master An and the general of having an affair, but she has no evidence. If the general shows up now to rescue Master An, wouldn't that be handing the evidence to her?"
Fortunately, Song Yunxi had the foresight to pull him outside to wait for Fang Chengwei. If he had not been stopped today, An Qingya would have been unable to defend herself even if she had a mouth all over her body.
Fang Chengwei calmed down and retracted his long legs that had already stepped out.
"But……"
"No buts!"
Song Yunxi interrupted him coldly: "Before the matter between you and Chen is completely resolved, you are not suitable to appear within a five-mile radius of Master An!"
She was being lenient by not mentioning Shili.
[If I hadn't known that you fell into Chen's trap in order to save Master An, and that the Master still had you in his heart, I wouldn't have bothered to care about your trivial matters! ]
This reminded Fang Chengwei of what Song Yunxi once said in her heart. In her previous life, it was An Qingya who risked his life to collect the bodies of the Fang family but was slandered by the Chen family. In order to protect his reputation, he jumped into the lake to prove his innocence.
