The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 214

In the evening, I went to pay my respects to Mrs. Min and had dinner at Nuanfeng Garden. During the dinner, I also invited Mrs. Liu from Biluozhai and several daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law, and the whole family sat at two tables.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

Xiao Yinxiu looked at the sisters who were chatting around her, and the thoughts that had been hidden in her heart became active again.

Song Guanzhou had difficulty in giving birth, and his sisters were also in the process of discussing marriage. Although there was no such thing as a co-wife nowadays, a concubine was allowed.

She had an idea in mind and took a few more glances at the three sisters Xiao Yinmei, who were of similar age. Among them, Xiao Yinhui was the prettiest, and as for status, Xiao Yinxiu was more suitable.

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Xiu'er, you have Ling and Huan now, but you don't know the worries of these spoiled girls."

"My sisters are all pretty and dignified, sensible and well-mannered. I envy them so much from what Third Aunt said. Unfortunately, she is not in good health, so I am afraid it will be difficult for her to have a good daughter to take care of her. Unlike my mother and Second Sister-in-law, who have many children and grandchildren, why should they worry?"

Mrs. Min sighed, "How would you know? You are probably pretending not to know. Look at your sisters, they are all in their prime. In some houses, they are already preparing to get married."

"What the eldest sister-in-law said is true. We treat our daughter like a treasure in our house, but we are only thinking about getting married now. However, there are many men in the world, but how many are the ideal husbands?"

Mrs. Liu also became anxious when she said this.

On the contrary, Xiao Du and Xiao Beijia gently advised, "Mother and aunt, don't worry. There are many talented people in the capital now. A few days ago, Brother Bei went out to meet friends and was thinking about finding good husbands for his sisters."

"Our family doesn't care about family wealth or status. We only hope that the family has a clean and honest character, so that we will not miss our daughter."

Mrs. Min's words were earnest and provided a guideline.

Several young girls who were alone were teased by their elders and sisters-in-law. Their faces turned red and they lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

"Forget it. Seeing that you girls are all shy, let's not talk about this today. It's almost time for Jin Gong to celebrate his birthday. Let's take advantage of today's rare free time to go and see Guanzhou. Come to think of it, I haven't seen her for a few days——"

Naturally, Song Guanzhou did not come to pay his respects.

Honeysuckle is a well-behaved person. She cooks some delicious food in the small kitchen from time to time and sends it to her masters.

——Basically saved Song Guanzhou’s reputation of being unfilial.

Mrs. Min brought it up today, and it was difficult for others to refuse. However, Xiao Yinxiu was somewhat displeased, and whispered to Mrs. Min, "Mother, she gets into trouble every day, so it's better not to go and see her, so as not to be upset." Mrs. Min had noticed during the days she had lived in the mansion that her daughter was extremely dissatisfied with her sister-in-law, Song.

She advised him more than once or twice, saying that there was no dispute between her and the Song family, and that they respected her, so she would be more lenient to them, and the family would get over it.

What's more, her two children were saved by the Song family, otherwise Xiao Yinxiu would have been killed.

Xiao Yinxiu's ears seemed to be callused after hearing these words, "Mother, she has evil intentions, please don't lead my sisters astray." Especially when she saw her sticking together with Pei An from time to time, it made her even more angry. She seemed to have no bones for no reason, like a vixen!

Hostility between women always comes in strange ways.

Mrs. Min looked at her stubborn daughter and thought that she was now the mistress of a mansion, so she had to swallow the same old truths.

"Xiu'er——"

Seeing that her mother looked unhappy, Xiao Yinxiu no longer dared to disobey and said, "Then mother and Third Aunt will take my sisters to go. I will go and count the gifts to be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Min and Mrs. Liu and leaving, Mrs. Min sighed and Mrs. Liu came forward to support her, "Xiu'er has been exhausted these days." She thought Mrs. Min was worried about her daughter, but Mrs. Min shook her head and said meaningfully, "Now Mu Xue has calmed down. I'm afraid that she has followed Mu Xue for a few years, but she didn't learn anything good, but instead learned some inferior skills."

Fortunately, when Mrs. Min was talking, there was a senior maid and Mrs. Liu beside her, and the girls were already waiting in the outer courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, these words..."

Mrs. Min snorted and gently patted Mrs. Liu's young and plump hand.

"Even if I were seven times as smart as you, I wouldn't worry about her."

Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and laughed, "My dear wife, what are you talking about? I am dull by nature and have no interest in anything. I don't know how to manage the household. If Xiu'er were like me, how could this mansion be seen by everyone?"

Mrs. Min stopped talking and walked out of the house slowly. "Let's go see An'er's family. I heard from the subordinates yesterday that the couple have not been feeling well these past few days. An'er has had a high fever and can't take a leave. He has been going out in the rain and wind every day. I don't know if he has recovered. I am worried about him and can't let him go."

This was the scene that Pei An saw outside Shaohua Garden.

He limped and pulled Alu out of the house, "Let's go find Erlang."

Alu looked at the dark clouds above his head and said, "I'm afraid it will rain heavily. I think the second young master may have returned home."

"Bring the horses here, and we will go to his house."

The master and servant almost braved the rain to come to the Qin family. Seeing this, the gatekeeper opened the corner door early and said, "Master Pei, please come in quickly to avoid the rain." Alu kept muttering, "Fourth Master, if your condition recurs, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to see the young lady."

Pei An snorted coldly, "When has your young mistress ever punished you?"

Alu was speechless for a long time before he said, "Young Madam is very polite, but she will chase me out of Shaohua Garden."

Chun Ge took the letter handed to him by the doorman, said something to Qin Qingdong, and ran out holding a black oil-paper umbrella to take Pei An and his servant in.

"What are you doing, Erlang?"

Chun Ge lamented, "Fourth Young Master, you came just in time, my Second Young Master is drinking alone."

Just as he walked into the hall, he heard thunder outside and rain as big as beans fell in the dark night. Chun Ge'er pointed at several maids to light the lamps quickly. Qin Qingdong's eyes were a little blurred at this moment. He saw Pei An still in his official uniform and walked in.

"Hey, why... didn't you go back to the mansion?"

Pei An called Alu over, took off his hair crown, and asked Chun Ge to find a set of Qin Qingdong's clothes. "Let me change clothes. The windows in the official residence cannot be opened today. It is really stuffy and hot. I am sweating all over and my clothes are wet." After entering Qin Qingdong's inner room and changing clothes, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"What's wrong with you?"

Qin Qingdong has always liked being lively. In addition to Pei An, he has many friends. He can just call them and a group of people will come.

So a person sitting in a dark room obviously looks unhappy.

Qin Qingdong sent Chun Ge and A Lu out, then he took out the jade fragment from his arms and said, "Take a look, can you recognize what this is?"

Pei An put down his chopsticks, took the half-finger-sized fragment, and examined it carefully. After a long time, doubts resurfaced, "This... should be an ordinary piece of jade, as if it was knocked off from something. How come, do you know where it came from?"

Qin Qingdong shook his head.

"I'm not sure either. The more I investigate, the more things seem to be wrong, but I can't find any evidence."

"What the hell is that?"

"Green radish--"
