The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 277

Xu Lingqiao quickly led the two into her room. Zhuang Gu and Lianhua had already brought their belongings and laid them out. Hua Chonglou seemed accustomed to it, but Xu Lingqiao felt a little restrained.

The maids and old women came in, and the places where several people sat were covered with cloth mats embroidered with round flower patterns, and tea, fruits and snacks were placed on the table. Finally, an incense burner was placed and sandalwood was burned.

even--

Zhuanggu held up a piece of green gauze and covered the window.

Liu Er brought up another food box and reported to Song Guanzhou, "Alu has also arrived. He said that the fourth young master asked him to come first and listen to your instructions. He came out from the west city gate after his shift. It takes about 20 miles to get here. He asked you, Madam, to wait for him to eat together."

"Of course. Today, thanks to Chonglou, I found my cousin. We should have a good meal to celebrate our reunion. Second brother, you and Alu will take care of the arrangements."

She had already taken off her veil, and her hair was in a long bun with braids and a clean face.

She is naturally beautiful, and she doesn't look dull without makeup, especially with her bright eyes and white teeth, which makes people feel happy when they see her.

After the servant left, Song Guanzhou stepped forward, stretched out his arms and hugged the restrained woman tightly.

"Cousin, I knew you would be fine."

She hugged the girl, who was a few centimeters shorter than her, tightly to her body, and used modern ways to comfort the girl who had suffered a lot.

At this moment, Xu Lingqiao could no longer control her emotions and sobbed on her shoulder.

At first, she was able to hold it in and just sobbed quietly, but when she thought about the difficulties she had experienced during this period of time, she could no longer hold back her tears.

"I just thought I couldn't see you anymore."

Song Guanzhou knew how difficult it was for her to escape, but now she could speak and cry normally, which showed that she was indeed Song Guanzhou's relative and was very strong.

She had also survived near-death experiences in streams and rivers, and knew the joy and sorrow of surviving a disaster.

"Don't worry, these things will never happen again. I'm here for you."

While comforting Xu Lingqiao, Tonghua Chonglou also thanked him solemnly, "I will definitely reward you handsomely later, Chonglou, you are my Song Guanzhou's great benefactor."

Hua Chonglou laughed, "Young Madam, when you say that to me, you seem to be treating me like an outsider. I was also shocked at first sight that my cousin looks so much like you. As both women and outsiders, Chonglou will certainly not stand idly by."

Xu Lingqiao cried for a long time before she stopped crying after being comforted by Song Guanzhou and Hua Chonglou.

Her eyes were swollen and red from crying. All the worries she had during the day disappeared when she saw Song Guanzhou. It was really great to be valued by her relatives.

"Don't cry. You must have suffered a lot along the way, but good times will surely come in the future."

Because Hua Chonglou was there, Song Guanzhou did not ask about the hardships along the way. After comforting them, she looked at the two beauties and asked, "I'm afraid you two haven't eaten anything, have you?"

"I'm fine. My cousin is worried and hasn't eaten much since yesterday."

"Why would you want that?"

Song Guanzhou took Xu Lingqiao's rough little hand and said, "No matter how big the matter is, as long as your life is safe, you must eat. If you don't eat, how can you have the strength to survive?"

Xu Lingqiao was so moved that she couldn't help but feel tears glistening between her brows. She lowered her head slightly, and her straight eyelashes were wet with tears, which made people feel very distressed.

"My cousin has a strong character. Sister Hua told me about your deeds before. You are truly a heroine."

Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "What did she say about me? Was it because she was afraid of the bitterness and couldn't eat the herbal juice, so she threatened her to make pills for me? Or was it because I was afraid of snakes and pushed her to the front to be a shield?"

Such a joke made Hua Chonglou burst into laughter, and even Xu Lingqiao was a little stunned.

"Madam, you are joking. You pushed me forward because I brought the snake in. It crawled out of the bamboo basket rashly. I hope you don't blame me for scaring you. If you say so, won't Chonglou feel guilty?"

"Stop it!"

Song Guanzhou laughed. "In a word, cousin Lingqiao, you must not be so distant in front of me. Just call me Guanzhou. As for Chonglou, I don't know who is older between you two, but we are both the same age. You two can call him whatever you like."

Lianhua boiled hot water from the kitchen and made hot tea.

"Madam, you and the two girls should have some snacks first. My second uncle asked the shopkeeper to slaughter a sheep. The big pot is boiling now. I'm afraid it will take a while before we can eat."

Song Guanzhou agreed and asked, "Have the four young masters of yours come yet?"

Lianhua shook her head, "Not yet. Alugo said it would take some time to get there from the west gate."

After saying this, he lit the candles and some wormwood. A breeze blew in from outside the green gauze window, but mosquitoes couldn't get in. The three of them lived in the room and were less likely to be bitten by mosquitoes.

After Hua Chonglou exchanged greetings with Song Guanzhou, he took the initiative to ask for leave, "It's rare for Madam and Miss Cousin to meet, so I won't disturb you. You two should just talk about personal matters."

"Okay, my cousin has been on the move, so I have to ask a few more questions. Chonglou, you go and rest first, and we'll have dinner together later."

After seeing Hua Chonglou off, Song Guanzhou stopped smiling and looked at Xu Lingqiao, "Cousin, is A'man the maidservant who served you?"

Xu Lingqiao nodded, "She died for me... I'm afraid she's gone." That night when she went to accompany guests, a girl named Hong "kindly" told her that A'man was tortured to death. She didn't know whether it was true or not, so she could only hope to hear a glimmer of hope from Song Guanzhou.

"The night she died, a girl in the building saw you. She thought you looked a bit like me, so she sent someone to report to the mansion that night. Silang hurried to look for you, but unfortunately missed you. Since then, there has been no trace of you."

When Xu Lingqiao heard this, she recalled the days when her life was worse than death.

She lowered her eyebrows, swallowed her grievances, and asked, "You and Mr. Pei have been looking for me everywhere. I'm afraid you know that I escaped from my uncle's house."

"Yes, I couldn't find you at that time. Everyone in Qingmei Garden was detained, but no one could tell me where you went that night. I was at a loss, so I followed the words left by my eldest sister-in-law and went to the Fang family in Aiqi Town to look for you. After interrogating the old woman in the Fang family, I learned the reason for your escape, so I sent people to the academy to pick up my cousin who had no idea about it."

elder brother?

She couldn't help crying again, "Brother is now..." She wanted to ask where he was, but she was still crying and couldn't ask.

Song Guanzhou knew that she had too many grievances in her heart, so he gently patted her shoulder and whispered to comfort her, "My cousin is now studying for the exam at home. After knowing that you were bullied and left by the old woman of the Fang family, he was extremely worried and anxious. After searching everywhere, he still didn't know where you were. I thought that he had studied hard for ten years. If he missed the imperial examination, he would feel very regretful even if you were no longer in this world. So I forced you to return to the mansion--"

When Xu Lingqiao heard this, she quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Song Guanzhou.

Song Guanzhou helped him up halfway through. "We are siblings, it's really strange to be so polite."

"cousin--"
