The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 275

Looking at this face that somewhat resembles the fourth young master's wife of the mansion, Hua Chonglou couldn't ignore it.

Under such circumstances, his subordinates came to help, but they were in numbers and had great power. The three or five ruffians could not gain any advantage and had to run away, cursing as they walked away. However, no one could ignore the weight of Hua Chonglou's words "Young Madam".

Is she really the wife of a high-ranking official?

Ruffians bully the good and fear the evil. When they meet capable people, they will know when to get out of the way and run away. It is so easy for these rich people to crush them to death!

Hua Chonglou looked carefully and found that although the person in front of him was about 50% similar to Song Guanzhou, the fourth young master's wife of the Pei family, there were still some differences. "You are not the young master—" Li Shuang seemed to have grasped the key point at this moment. She almost knelt in front of Hua Chonglou, "Please help me, sister."

The shopkeeper sighed, "Young Master, is this girl familiar to you?"

Hua Chonglou thought that two people who looked so similar must have some blood relationship, so she spoke vaguely, supported the trembling girl, and asked with concern, "Miss, why don't you talk inside the house?" Since this was related to the Fourth Young Master's wife, no one else could overhear.

Li Shuang had survived a disaster and grabbed Hua Chonglou like a life-saving straw, nodding repeatedly.

"Sister, please come in."

The two of them closed the door and entered the house. Li Shuang ignored everyone else and knelt down to greet them. "Excuse me, sister, do you know the fourth young master's wife of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

Hua Chonglou pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Excuse me, young lady, who is——"

Li Shuang raised her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes, "I am a cousin of the fourth young master's wife of the Pei family, and her mother is my aunt from the Xu family."

It turned out that this woman was Xu Lingqiao who had been missing for a long time.

She was completely different from the naive girl she was a month ago. After going through so much hardships, her face looked the same as before, but her eyes were no longer as clear as before.

Hua Chonglou quickly helped her up and asked for details.

Xu Lingqiao had suffered too much, and she only talked about being separated from her family. As for the nightmarish life she had experienced in the past one or two months, she skipped over it all and only asked Hua Chonglou if he could ask someone to go to the mansion to find the wife of the fourth young master Pei and bring a message.

Why not look for your brother?

That's because my brother is probably still looking for her. In such a vast sea of ​​people, it would definitely be easier to find the Fourth Young Master's wife.

Hua Chonglou naturally agreed, and sent someone to ride into the city early the next morning. However, no one else could enter the mansion, so he could only go to Doctor Sun's house first and report the matter to Doctor Sun. However, Sun Lin and his brother went up the mountain to collect herbs, and they found an apprentice who had followed Doctor Sun in and out of the mansion, and brought the message in.

Xu Lingqiao did not sleep all night.

She curled up on the bed, lowered the curtains, and endured the darkness alone.

Ever since she was sent hundreds of miles away from the capital by the round-headed man, she was in the dark and nearly got trafficked a second time. After that, she became wary and let her hair down along the way. Her face was covered with soot and mud, making her look just like the beggars picking lice in the corners. Only then did she make inquiries and head to the capital.

Can't help but reply.

She had no relatives, and her only brother must be looking for her in the capital. She knew that her life had already been ruined, but no matter what, she had to see her brother before she died.

otherwise--

Without her words, her brother would probably have a hard time living. She knew her brother's character and knew that if anything happened to her, he would definitely blame himself and feel guilty.

I’m afraid the scientific examinations and the like will be delayed.

Xu Lingqiao relied entirely on this spirit and her own strength to beg for a living along the way. Danger was always coming. She was frightened the first few times, but after more times, she gained some experience.

I was still afraid, but my mentality gradually became stronger.

Hua Chonglou brought her dinner and told her not to be afraid, saying that he lived across the street from her.

"This floor is full of our own people, so you can rest assured."

Xu Lingqiao thanked him profusely, and Hua Chonglou smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Madam is loyal and righteous. She mentioned a few times in the past that her relatives were scattered and she had never had any contact with them. Now that she heard the letter from you, my cousin, she will definitely send someone to pick you up."

Having said that, Hua Chonglou and Xu Lingqiao didn't really dare to expect that.

The former was worried that Song Guanzhou might have doubts, so she sent a maid to take a look and left it alone. As for Xu Lingqiao, she was even more worried. First, she was innocent after what happened to her. If she had a stronger temper, she would have killed herself long ago. Living would only bring shame to the Xu family. She was worried that her cousin, who was rich and well-educated, might despise her.

The eldest lady of the mansion had invited her earlier, and she and her brother were not worried about their family's poverty, but were eager to get close to their cousin, which would only make people look down on them.

Now, I am helpless and can only hope that my cousin will help me out of the little family affection we have.

Early in the morning, Xu Lingqiao washed and dressed, and changed into the clothes given to her by Jiang's maid. Although they were made of cheap materials, they were neat and tidy.

Hua Chonglou was originally planning to go to the capital, but because of Xu Lingqiao's matter, he delayed his trip and came to Xu Lingqiao's side early to accompany her. Even after breakfast, when the sun was high in the roof, there was still no sign of anyone coming from the capital.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Xu Lingqiao felt more and more frustrated.

Seeing that she was in a low mood, Hua Chonglou tried to comfort her, "The Fourth Young Master's wife will definitely send someone, so don't worry, cousin." Xu Lingbai's face turned pale, and she could only force a smile after hearing this, "Thank you, Sister Hua."

To prevent her from having wild thoughts, Hua Chonglou became more curious and asked, "You look exactly like the Fourth Young Master's wife. When I saw you yesterday, I mistook you for her."

Xu Lingqiao heard her say that she was familiar with her cousin, and envy welled up in her eyes. "I heard from my brother that my cousin and I only met when we were little, and now I can't even remember it. I'm sure my cousin looks much better than me. I'm a plain-looking person who grew up in the countryside, so I'm not very presentable."

This time, Hua Chonglou waved his hands in humility.

"My cousin, please don't underestimate yourself. The Fourth Young Master's wife is strong-willed and forthright. You two may look alike, but your personalities are poles apart."

Hua Chonglou was the fourth person to mention that she looked like Song Guanzhou.

The first one was the tea shop lady, who said a lot of good things about her the next day after seeing her, saying that she was as beautiful as a flower and looked like a noble. It was not until the horse-faced man came to her house that she heard what the horse-faced man said in private, that they really looked like each other!

Like who?

The third person gave her the answer!

So, she knew that she and her cousin looked like twin flowers, but fate was so cruel that she was now as lowly as dust, while her cousin was still high above her.

Life……

As the sun set and the heat dissipated, the courtyard outside the inn was still deserted.

Xu Lingqiao became more and more anxious. She began to wonder, if the people from the mansion didn't come, what should she do next? Hua Chonglou saw her looking out the window frequently, and knew that she was worried. "I'm afraid the messenger was delayed. If the young lady doesn't send anyone today, you can come to the capital with me tomorrow, and I will accompany you to visit."
