The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 278

"Just call me to watch the boat."

Xu Lingqiao was forcibly helped up by Song Guanzhou and pressed onto the drum stool. "I have always been alone. I heard from my sister-in-law that I met you two brothers and sisters on the way to Beijing, and I have been looking forward to it. I was thinking that the three brothers and sisters would meet, but I didn't expect these accidents to happen. To be honest, I only found out that you and your servant left Aiqi Town, and then how did you end up in the hands of the kidnapper."

When asked this, Xu Lingqiao calmed down a little and recalled this unbearable incident.

"It was raining heavily the night we escaped. A'man had already been lynched by my cruel aunt, with his skin torn and flesh exposed. Then there was a night of heavy rain, and he almost lost half his life. On the way, I met an honest young man. Seeing that my master and I were in a difficult situation, he lent us a hand and sent us to Wanxing Wharf. His family only had a widowed mother who ran a tea shop, and she treated my master and me quite well. I thought of asking the young man to deliver a message to the mansion, asking you, Guanzhou, to save me."

"Tea stall?"

Song Guanzhou narrowed his eyes and thought of the letter from Linshan... If nothing unexpected had happened, the tea stall would have been burned to ashes and then washed away by the heavy rain.

That horse-faced guy?

Heh! Zhu San beside Jin Fuyun! The portrait drawn by Xiaohu is not nonsense at all——

Thinking of this, Song Guanzhou's eyes turned completely cold.

Jin Fuyun, for a man, are you really going to fight me to the death? I don't care about that. If you really want Pei An, just take him away. Why do you have to make things difficult for me? The next moment, I had to succumb to this era. It was not that easy for men and women to divorce and remarry. If Jin Fuyun didn't kill her, she couldn't follow the "good husband and good wife" in the original work!

"The tea stall is in the most remote place in Wanxing Wharf?"

"Yes. The widowed mother gave A'man some medicine, and we, the master and I, managed to survive for a day and a night. But who would have thought that the young man who came out to deliver the letter brought back a horse-faced man who, without giving us any explanation, called two unfamiliar men to tie A'man and me together, covered our eyes with cloth, and stuffed a cloth ball in our mouths. When I woke up, A'man and I had fallen into such a filthy place, and the madam was called Gu Sanniang, who forced me to receive customers every day."

Perhaps because of her good looks, Gu Sanniang wanted to sell her for a high price and was unwilling to deflower her.

Because of this, she escaped the torture in the first few days. Otherwise, the cuckold slave who beat her would look at her with such a look in his eyes that he would want to strip her clothes off immediately.

"Gu Sanniang and everyone in Qingmei Garden were imprisoned. A'man's death led to many serious cases of forcing women into prostitution, murder for money, etc. It's a pity that until now, I don't know how Jingzhao Yin conducted the trial. Well, go on."

On the third day after A’man entered the sect, she was taken away from me. In order to force me, Gu Sanniang took me to watch A’man being whipped and humiliated many times. I… I wished I could die right away with A’man…”

When Xu Lingqiao said this, tears welled up in her eyes.

Song Guanzhou sighed and hugged her gently, "That horse-faced man kidnapped you and your servant. Have you never seen him again?"

Xu Lingqiao shook his head.

“After that, I really didn’t see him again.”

"Then...Mrs. Gu San forced you to accompany a guest that night. Do you remember who it was?"

Song Guanzhou's question was basically asking who was the person who hurt her in the end. Xu Lingqiao opened her mouth to speak, wanting to mention the young man, but didn't know where to start. Song Guanzhou immediately understood her dilemma.

"If you don't remember, then forget it. Anyway, everything is in the past. As a human being..., look forward."

The two sisters hugged each other for a long time, and Xu Lingqiao said softly, "Guan Zhou, I... my innocence is gone." She was not embarrassed when she said this, but she also had an attitude of wanting to die, and she was very calm.

She thought that the Xu family's reputation could not be defiled.

Her innocence was taken away from her inexplicably, and she spent a long time in a dirty place. All her reputation and good name were gone.

The Xu family's purity and brightness in Huaifeng would not allow her to fall into depravity.

Song Guanzhou didn’t know how other women in the world felt after hearing this, but in her ears, was this a big deal?

"Sister, this is not a serious matter. Why are you worried?"

"I--"

Xu Lingqiao could not hide her surprise. She looked at Song Guanzhou who was serious and said truthfully, "I accidentally entered a place of prostitution and lost my virginity. I brought shame to the Xu family, and also affected the reputation of my elder brother, the clan members, and even your cousin—"

"What a lie!"

Song Guanzhou interrupted Xu Lingqiao directly, "That's not true. Let me ask you three questions, cousin. Did you commit depravity by going to this place of fireworks?"

Xu Lingqiao shook her head anxiously, "Of course not. An ordinary woman would never want to go to a place like that."

"So in that building, was it the extravagance and luxury that made you reluctant to leave?"

Xu Lingqiao's eyes were wet and she shook her head. "Even if it was death, I would not be afraid. But life is worse than death. I cannot leave you. This is not what I want."

Song Guanzhou asked in a deep voice, "Then let me ask one last question. Are you willing to let others take away your innocence?"

"of course not!"

Xu Lingqiao covered her face with her hands and burst into tears. "Before Madam Gu San sent me out, she had someone give me an aphrodisiac. Guan Zhou, I can't live or die. I'm like white meat on a chopping board, let anyone abuse me."

"Cousin, you didn't do it voluntarily. It was the bad guys who harmed you. How can it be your fault? There is no such thing in the world. You were harmed by others, and you are not tolerated by the world?"

"Watching the boat——"

Xu Lingqiao slowly removed her hands from her tearful face and murmured, "Guan Zhou, this is how things are in this world. If a woman loses her innocence, how can she still live in the world with dignity?"

Her eyes were slightly closed, and her eyelashes were stained with crystal clear pearls.

Song Guanzhou sighed, "My sister, listen to what I have to say. Isn't it just that you have experienced sex early on? How can it be so serious?"

Xu Lingqiao received the most traditional feudal education. When she heard Song Guanzhou's bold words, her face turned pale. "No, Guanzhou, I have no face to live anymore. Now that you and I are sisters, I have to tell you that I am thinking about seeing my elder brother for the last time. If I leave this world without saying a word, my elder brother will be alone in this world and I am afraid he will not live long."

Having said this, tears began to flow again.

Song Guanzhou brought a silk handkerchief and gently wiped Xu Lingqiao's tears while trying to persuade her, "This is really not a big deal. Look at the world, men eat, drink, gamble and whore, while women have to abide by their duties. This is obviously unfair. Of course, the etiquette is strict, so let's be flexible. I will go back to the mansion tomorrow and send someone to buy you two maids. The day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will let my cousin come to pick you up in a grand manner. You are a girl from the Xu family, the cousin of the fourth young master's wife of the mansion. You are coming to the capital with dignity. What is there to be afraid of?"

Xu Lingqiao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head to refuse.

"Guan Zhou, I can't do that. I am in such a state now, how can I have the face to go to the mansion to seek shelter with my relatives——"
