Fragrance Returned

Li Maigao came to the door of Ding Pandi's house.

The yard has been renovated, the tiles have been replaced, and the walls, doors and windows have been repainted. Before entering the yard, you can hear the sound of banging furniture inside.

The small cosmetics and powder workshop that was previously opened at home has been moved outside. In the future, this will be the home of Tian Hu and Ding Pandi.

They have decided to get married next April. Although he lives in Ding Pandi's yard, Tian Hu is not considered a married woman, and his future children will still be named Tian.

Li Maigao also sympathized with Ding Pandi in his heart. Just when he calmed down and started living again, my mother killed someone again.

The person killed this time was really dead, so he was a murderer, not an attempted murder.

Ding Pandi didn't know anything and became the murderer's daughter.

Seeing Li Maigao coming over, Ding Pandi asked, "Is there something going on at Second Grandpa's house?"

Li Magao said, "My master is very good, but... something happened to Hao, and she died."

Ding Pandi's expression was indifferent, "Oh, what day?"

Li Maigao said, "On the eleventh day of the winter lunar month, I received a letter from Beiquan Village today. The Hao family beat the fourth rich lady, Wang family, to death with a stick, and she hanged herself."

Ding Pandi's indifferent expression became horrified, "What, she killed Wang?"

Ding Pandi didn't want to know anything about Ding Youshou and Hao. Ding Sifu only told her that Hao was living with Ding Youshou again and didn't know anything else.

"Um."

Li Maigao said that Mrs. Hao returned to her hometown alive, but the Hao family refused to allow her to go home, so she was taken to Beiquan Village by Ding Youshou. Ding Youshou took Hao in because he wanted to use her to ask Ding Pandi for money. The two of them went to the dock to take a boat several times and were stopped by people.

Perhaps Hao felt that life was unsatisfactory and hated Wang. He happened to take advantage of the opportunity that day and killed Wang and then committed suicide...

"The second master and the fourth master of the first house are going back to attend the funeral. The second master will be back in a hundred days, but the fourth master doesn't know."

Ding Pandi's expression calmed down, "Thank you, Uncle Li, please go to the front yard for tea."

Li Magao said, "No, I have to rush into the city before closing the city gate."

Ding Pandi thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Uncle Li. Let me tell my second grandfather that in order to make my mother feel at ease, Brother Tian and I are getting married. The wedding is scheduled for the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, so it won't be a big deal."

Li Magao was stunned, this must be too fast.

He still said, "If Miss Hao needs help, please go to the uncle's house and let her know."

As soon as Li Maigao left, Ding Pandi changed into plain clothes and sat at the table in a daze.

Tian Hu came in and said, "I heard that your mother passed away? My condolences."

Ding Pandi glanced at him and said, "I have nothing to feel sad about. In my eyes, only you and the Fourth Rich are my relatives. Unfortunately, now I don't deserve that brother. What I can't bear to part with is him..."

Tears welled up in her eyes and she murmured, "My mother killed Wang and hanged her. The fourth rich man will no longer be willing to be my brother. I have been with my mother for so many years, and I have seen many of her actions. don't know.

"I don't understand. There is obviously a road that everyone takes, but she chooses to take the road that no one takes, harming others and herself..."

Tian Hu was stunned at first, then looked at her distressedly, and held her small hand on the table with his big hand.

"The fourth rich man is a good brother. It's really fate. Some fates are destined by nature and cannot be forced... Don't be too sad. In addition to me, you will also have relatives, including our sons, daughters, and grandchildren..."

Ding Pandi buried his head in Tian Hu's arms and cried loudly.

It was the first time in her life that she cried so hard, and it was also the first time that she was so close to someone.

Tian Hu patted her back gently, "Okay, okay, it will pass..."

This voice and the warmth on his back made Ding Pandi feel at ease.

This man gave her the warmth she had been seeking since she was a child...

On the twenty-seventh day of the winter lunar month, heavy snow fell and the wind howled.

Zhang suddenly came to the princess mansion.

Xun Xiang came out of the study and said, "What's the weather like for you to come here? If you have something to do, let the servants come."

She helped Mrs. Zhang to sit on the kang, took the hot tea from the girl's hand and handed it to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang pulled Xunxiang to sit down and told Mr. Hao about Mr. Wang's murder.

Xun Xiang was also shocked.

Xiang Xiang said, "What Mr. Hao did was both unexpected and reasonable. He is a bad talker and dares to take advantage of anything. A dark and perverted man, he dares to do anything."

Mrs. Zhang said, "Yes, although Pandi chose the surname 'Hao', he had no feelings for that mother and proposed a 'hot filial piety' marriage. It's a pity that she and the four rich people have gone through so many difficulties and it is impossible to be like her again. We were so close before.”

Xun Xiang nodded. No matter how big-hearted Ding Sifu was, there was no way he would associate with the enemy who killed his mother. Even public opinion couldn't bear it.

Mrs. Zhang added, "Yesterday shopkeeper Gong came to the house and said that before the fourth rich man left, he specifically told her that he didn't want the yard and the shares of Furong Powder Shop given by Pandi. Please ask shopkeeper Gong to pack up his things, and the yard and shares were returned to Pandi.

"Pandi also thought of this and said that he was too embarrassed to recognize shopkeeper Gong as his godmother again and would not marry at Gong's house. She would rent a yard in Kaixian County and get married there. As for the yard and shares that the four rich people gave back, Ding Pandi confiscated...

"Alas, this incident made Mrs. Hao angry, but she harmed her child again. And Ms. Wang, who wants to take advantage of others every day, would be afraid if she knew that the yard and shares of the fourth rich were returned to Pandi. I can't even close my eyes until I die.

"She has been taking advantage of Hao's for more than ten years, but she can't compare to one thousandth of those things..."

Xunxiang also felt sorry for Ding Sifu and Ding Pandi. Asked, "When will my brother and sister get married?"

"The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month."

Xun Xiang said, "So soon? I can't go that day. The crown prince canonization ceremony will be held on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. It has been agreed that on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, I will go to the palace to spend more time with the eighth emperor's uncle. From now on, he will not be able to see the imperial grandmother and me often. He is not used to it. , the Queen’s grandmother is not used to it either.”

It was decided at the beginning of winter that the eighth prince would be crowned prince, and the canonization ceremony would be held on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. Time is tight and the Ministry of Rites is busy with this important matter.

Although they have only been together for a few months, Queen Ye and Gao Guang see each other almost every day. They have already gotten along with each other like mother and son, and their relationship is very good.

The prince is very different from the prince. He will be much busier in the future. He will be surrounded by either officials or teachers and accompanying students. He will not go to Kunning Palace every day like before.

Xiao Gaoguang has just had a few good months and is getting busy again...

As soon as she talked about this, a smile appeared on Zhang's face.

The future emperor has visited his home many times, and the future of the man's son is better.

Ding Zhuang and she had never thought about letting Xunxiang attend Ding Pandi's wedding in person.

She said, "My brother is lonely and not close to the Ding family. We have already agreed that when she gets married, Liren, Third Uncle, Zhao, Zhen Yatou, Shopkeeper Gong, Ling'er, I, and I will go."

Xunxiang asked someone to bring out two pieces of palace satin and two gold hairpins embedded with treasures. The same is to add makeup, and the same is a congratulatory gift. Please ask Mrs. Zhang to bring it to Ding Pandi. (End of chapter)
