The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 589

Mei Qingyu looked around, sent the maid away, and went to her room with Pei Shuyu. "We'll have a banquet soon. Would it be inappropriate to leave now?"

Pei Shuyu raised her chin slightly, "When the banquet is held, the maid will come to invite her. I just can't stand her like that. But Fourth Cousin is so obsessed with her. It's really a sin."

this--

Mei Qingyu saw that there was no one behind her or in front of her, so she pulled Pei Shuyu aside and whispered, "Sister, be careful with your words. Don't let anyone hear this. Fourth sister-in-law didn't do anything wrong, so don't take it seriously."

"Humph!"

Pei Shuyu sighed, "Sister and I have always been of the same mind. I will not hide it from her. When my cousin and I had a dispute and misunderstanding, she had to mediate. Since then, my mother, my sister-in-law, and everyone else have asked me to be grateful to her. I did it once or twice, and it was mentioned every day, which made people annoyed."

Her expression was full of disgust, which showed clearly between her brows.

Mei Qingyu softened her voice, "My dear sister, I will go to my house after the spring. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see you even if you want to."

"I can't stand her coquettish look, but men just fall for it. Sister, it's a pity that you were born at the wrong time. If you were born a few years earlier, you could ask mother to ask for it, and you would be my sister-in-law now."

"useless!"

Mei Qingyu's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly stopped Pei Shuyu, "My dear sister, you are the only one who knows a little bit of my ridiculous thoughts, but I have never had the slightest extravagant hope. My sister is kind-hearted, please hide it for me quickly. When I marry a man in the future, these thoughts will naturally disappear."

"Broken?"

Pei Shuyu looked dazed, "Sister, can you tell?"

"Of course I can break it off. What in this world can't be broken off? When I have a good man by my side and have children, how can I remember these past events in the boudoir? It's the same with my sister—"

Pei Shuyu lowered her eyes, "I forgot about it a long time ago."

The two were speechless for a moment, and returned to their room hand in hand. When they mentioned their past love, they each lowered their heads and sighed secretly, saying that there are too few things in the world that go as one wishes.

After a long silence, Pei Shuyu sighed, "If sister's status was lower, she could be the second wife."

"younger sister!"

Mei Qingyu suddenly raised her eyes, full of disbelief. She almost stepped forward to cover Pei Shuyu's quick mouth, stamping her feet in anger, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can I lower myself to be someone's concubine? My sister is so angry that she is confused!"

Seeing that Mei Qingyu was angry, Pei Shuyu hurriedly served tea to apologize.

"Sister, please forgive me for my nonsense. I have no ill intentions. I just want to find a husband of my dreams. Why should I care about these titles?"

"Sister, be careful with your words!"

Mei Qingyu tilted her head, her face showing a hint of anger and sorrow, "I am just daydreaming. Sister is smart and can figure out this stupid idea in my mind. I just hope that sister will forget it as soon as possible and don't mention it again."

Pei Shuyu pouted and moved in front of Mei Qingyu. She brought a drum stool and sat opposite Mei Qingyu, looking at each other.

"Sister, my fourth sister-in-law can't have children."

"You told me so, but what does it matter? The Fourth Young Master only has the Fourth Sister-in-law in his heart, why should others worry about these things?"

She choked with tears and felt increasingly sad.

Pei Shuyu saw this and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears. "My dear sister, I was just talking nonsense. You don't have to be sad. It's just that Fourth Brother is very capable and will definitely achieve something in the future. I am just lamenting that if you were of a lower status and really became a second wife and gave birth to a boy or a girl, then what would Fourth Sister-in-law be? She can't give birth, and she can't hold Fourth Cousin back from taking concubines and having children for the rest of his life. Rather than being an outsider, it's better to be..."

"Shuyu!"

Mei Qingyu could no longer bear the pain in her heart, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and flowed down.

"My fourth sister-in-law is like a fairy in heaven. How can I compare to her? From now on, I will never say such things again. Please don't let my sister and I have any grudges against each other."

Pei Shuyu watched her cousin cry because of her anger and apologized repeatedly.

After some consolation, Mei Qingyu looked up at Pei Shuyu with red eyes, "Could it be that my sister is still thinking about Qin's Erlang——"

"Sister..., of course I never miss you."

Pei Shuyu softened her voice, "Now that the Crown Princess is pregnant again, I heard that the pregnancy is very good. The Qin family will surely rise in the future. Don't say that I couldn't get close to them before. Now that I am engaged to Sanlang, we each have our own future and I have long forgotten him."

"Since my younger sister has forgotten, I will be able to forget it completely when I get engaged in the future."

Pei Shuyu hesitated, "Sister..., I only mentioned this because you haven't mentioned him yet--"

"Don't mention my sister anymore. Don't make me lose face in front of others."

The Mei family tradition would never allow their daughter to become a concubine. Mei Qingyu was also noble in her bones. She loved that handsome man very much, but she would not abandon her family members for him.

"Don't worry, I'll keep your advice in mind. I just hope you can let go of this thought as soon as possible. I'm also sad to see you..."

"I will let go."

However, did Mei Qingyu really let go?

No.

She looked strong and tried to uphold the Mei family's integrity, but her heart was actually broken into pieces. Yes! If she had been born a few years earlier and begged her father and aunt, this would not have been impossible.

But on second thought, can she compare to Song Guanzhou?

She was bold, and she had set her eyes on the fourth son of Pei, so she asked her father to come and propose marriage. Who was her father? A famous university scholar, a high-ranking and powerful university scholar who was quite favored by the emperor.

Thinking about this, I feel even more ridiculous.

Even if she lived a few more years, she would not be able to catch up. She felt very sad. If it wasn't the wrong timing, she would have just wanted to escape today's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

But she is not allowed to make the decision.

The maid outside came to invite people, "Miss, cousin, the madam is calling for you to come over quickly, saying that a banquet is going to be held."

Pei Shuyu personally wiped the powder on Mei Qingyu's face, drew her eyebrows and put on some rouge. After looking at her carefully and seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, she took out her beloved Zan hairpin and put it on Mei Qingyu's head.

"Sister, please allow me to apologize."

Mei Qingyu held the precious jade hairpin and said, "No, I am not that petty. I have to thank my sister for comforting me from time to time. I was also a little impatient and spoke a little harshly just now."

"not heavy!"

Pei Shuyu raised her head and said, "Sister will surely find a husband of her dreams in the future and have many children, which will be the envy of my fourth sister-in-law."

"Too many children brings hardship to a mother. Let me say what my sister said. One son and one daughter are enough to make a good word."

She forced a smile and joked with Pei Shuyu.

"But Sister Shuyu is capable. When she marries into my family someday, I'll ask my third sister-in-law to give birth to six boys and six girls. That would be a perfect blessing."

Ah!

Pei Shuyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She covered her face and stamped her feet, "No, no, my sister is very mean." Just as she finished speaking, Mei Jia Sanlang's voice came from outside, "My two sisters, can you let me in?"

Mei Qingyu pinched Pei Shuyu's face and teased, "Everything goes smoothly, my good sister-in-law."

puff!
