The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 478

When Pei Shuyu heard the little maid running to say that the mistress and several young ladies were coming into the room, she quickly got up and let Hongxiu and her two sisters help her wash her face and comb her hair. However, she had been crying for a long time and her red and swollen eyelids could no longer be covered.

"Sister, do you want to apply powder?"

A sister asked while holding a rouge box. Pei Shuyu suddenly lost her strength. "No need. In front of the fourth sister-in-law, how can we compete with each other for beauty? Just don't be rude."

Besides, she would never get married in the future, so no matter how she dressed up, she would only be laughed at.

As they were talking, the sound of jade pendants clanging could be heard from outside. From far away, the mother could also be heard saying, "Good child, you have always been clear-headed. This kind of thing is a knot in the heart of any girl. You should comfort your sister and don't let her have distracting thoughts and do something stupid."

"Don't worry, Sister Shuyu has a strong character and is always smart. If you talk to her in a nice way, she will understand. Besides, how can a girl from the Pei family worry about marriage? Of course she doesn't have to worry."

Hearing this, Pei Shuyu felt extremely sad.

Not everyone is like this fourth sister-in-law, lawless, but her cousin is still in favor. Seeing her fourth cousin treating her obediently, she can only envy him in her eyes and heart.

In Longen Temple, Pei Shuyu saw how nervous her cousin was about his sister-in-law.

How come the engagement was cancelled when it came to me...

The tears that had just been washed away now wet her eyes again. Hongxiu quickly took a silk handkerchief to wipe her eyes, "Good girl, the madam and the young ladies are here to visit you, don't cry anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Yueniang and Gu Miaofeng had already stepped into the courtyard. Qi Yueniang looked at the haggard and distracted Pei Shuyu and sighed, "My dear sister, how did you get yourself into this state? Did you not eat at all?"

Hong Xiu knelt down and saluted, "Madam, you may not know, but my daughter has been unable to eat or sleep for the past seven or eight days, and has lost a lot of weight."

Gu Miaofeng supported Pei Shuyu and called the other sisters to come in together. "Don't worry, your fourth sister-in-law is very powerful. Those thieves have been punished by her. When your fourth cousin comes later, the matter will be resolved."

"But--"

Pei Shuyu leaned on Gu Miaofeng's shoulder and said, "I know that my sisters-in-law love me, but I encountered this..."

She glanced at her three sisters and said, "It's fine for me to cancel the engagement, but I can't let it affect my sisters."

Qi Yuenniang replied with a smile, "Of course not. I have already asked about the matter clearly. It is not your cousin's fault that he wrote to you without your permission and said some angry words. He is really a cunning villain. He first wrote to your cousin and fabricated something, asking your cousin to cancel the engagement immediately..."

"Who is this villain? I have never met him before, why did he come to harm me?"

Song Guanzhou then helped Mrs. Mei in. Although the board on her leg had been removed, Rendong was still worried that she would hurt her leg while walking, so she reminded her several times, "Young Madam, please walk slowly."

Mrs. Mei knew that Song Guanzhou would not be using crutches today, and when she heard what the maid said, she couldn't help but slow down her pace.

"But be careful, don't get hurt again. This year is a bad year for you, so be cautious in everything." Song Guanzhou didn't hear this when the two of them came to Pei Shuyu's room.

"Sister Shuyu, you've got it wrong. The villain is targeting you not because you're not good, but because you're too good. Our Pei family is well-known, and the young ladies are all well-educated. Our family is well-known and glorious, and some people just want to get some meat from our family."

Pei Shuyu looked in the direction of the voice. Today Song Guanzhou was dressed simply and elegantly. Her hair was black, thick, long and fine. Normally, when she put it in a bun on her head, Song Guanzhou felt it was heavy and it hurt his scalp.

If she wasn't entertaining guests, she would braid her hair into a long braid that fell behind her.

Qi Yueniang came in a hurry today, and seeing the urgency of the situation, she had no chance to dress up. She just came with a plain face, a long braid, and ordinary light purple clothes with gold thread trim. She looked casual, but others dared not look down on her.

No matter how many times I look at it, Song Guanzhou is still as handsome as ever.

Her face was too white when boiled with powder, too red when applied with rouge, her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her skin was like white snow, her waist was like a bundle of silk, her teeth were like shells, and she looked full of energy.

"Shuyu would like to thank the two sisters-in-law for their help today."

Pei Shuyu came up to her and bowed politely. Qi Yueniang helped her up and pulled her to sit on the rose chair. "We are one family, so why are you talking about two different things? Sit down and take a rest. Your fourth sister-in-law has a bad leg. Don't let her stand and talk to you."

Mrs. Mei also helped Song Guanzhou sit opposite, and Gu and her three sisters also sat down. "Don't worry, it's all a misunderstanding. When your eldest brother comes back, write a letter to your uncle and you'll know."

Pei Shuyu sighed, unable to hide her disappointment.

"Mother, since my second cousin is determined to quit, then let him quit."

Song Guanzhou chuckled, "Sister, you worry too much. If the Mei brothers do nothing, they would be unworthy of being men. Along the way, I heard from Second Aunt that the Mei brothers are kind-hearted and not good at speaking, but they treat Sister Shuyu with care. Even so, if the letter is due to misunderstanding, just resolve it."

Pei Shuyu whispered, "Sister-in-law, he doesn't believe me. If that's the case, what's the point of forcing us to be together? In the end, we'll just end up saying dirty things to each other, and it'll be hard for us to live in peace."

"Whoa!"

Song Guanzhou waved his hand in a very heroic manner.

"Let's talk about the matter. He was a little too hasty in this matter, and he actually skipped Uncle Mei and wrote to you without authorization. Don't worry about this. Uncle Mei will definitely punish him later. But my sister doesn't need to filter it out. If he doesn't care about you, just tell your parents to cancel the engagement. Why bother writing a letter and instructing them to only give it to you?"

They are just young boys and girls in love. After listening to what Mrs. Mei said, Song Guanzhou did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"How can marriage be so casual? If you can decide on it and cancel it at will, what's the point of parents leaving it to you?"

Pei Shuyu was in a better mood now, but still a little uncomfortable.

He turned his head away from everyone and muttered, "He has lived with us since he was a child. He knows the upbringing of the family best. But he said that I had secretly decided to spend my life with that bastard, and he called off the engagement without asking me a single question. How heartless."

Thinking of this, he covered his eyes and became sad again.

Song Guanzhou disagreed. "Don't worry, sister. Wait for Brother Hua to come out, and then write a letter or send someone to explain it clearly. If that bastard Brother Mei doesn't know his fault, then sister can back out. It's hard to find a three-legged frog in the capital, but it's not difficult to find a two-legged man—"

"Oh my god, what are you talking about!"

Qi Yueniang quickly stopped Song Guanzhou, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Mrs. Mei was also dumbfounded. Why was the engagement called off? Pei Shuyu also half opened her mouth, ah..., it was called off?

"I've called off the engagement, sister... How can I still have the face to continue talking about the engagement? With such a bad reputation, it's better for me to become a nun early—"
