The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 134

Xiao Yinxiu shook his head helplessly.

"It's been two months since this happened, but my father has never let it go. The prince has gone to celebrate my eldest sister's birthday and has not returned. The only one who has a say in the family is the fourth son, but he and my aunt had such a fight - forget it, forget it, my eldest sister-in-law should not get into trouble."

It turned out to be the case.

The two sisters-in-law held hands and talked about many private things. Xiao Yinxiu knew that she was tired from the journey, so she took the initiative to stop talking. "Look how tired I am, sister-in-law. After all, I am back now, so there is no need to worry about not having time to talk in the future. I will not bother you today, so take a good rest. If there is anything that is not satisfactory, don't hide it. Ask Madam Zhou or the little girl to tell Aunt Chu."

Qi Yueniang hit her lightly and said, "I have never hidden anything from you. With you here, I don't have to worry about anything."

After seeing Xiao Yinxiu off, Lanxiang, the maidservant who served Qi Yueniang, came in quietly and took off the hairpin on Qi Yueniang's head. "Madam, you have worked so hard all the way. You finally got back. You can finally take a break."

Qi Yueniang sighed, "It can only be done this way. As for Second Aunt, I will go there tomorrow."

After that, he gave some instructions to deliver the specialty gifts he brought back to each room in proportion.

Lanxiang agreed, fetched hot water, and helped Qi Yueniang wash up. After she was done, she felt free of the dust and felt a little more at peace.

Sipping the freshly brewed tea, Qi Yueniang called over Nanny Zhou, and the three of them, the master and his servants, finally relaxed in the inner room and chatted for a while.

"Don't worry, Madam. There have been a lot of changes in the mansion, but they are all for the better. The first thing to be affected is that the old lady is no longer a big deal. From now on, no one will act like a mother-in-law in front of you."

When Madam Zhou said this, she wanted to climb over the wall, pin that old woman Xiao to the ground and give her a good beating and scolding.

Qi Yueniang sighed, "I'm afraid it will come out again."

Although she asked Xiao Yinxiu, the Crown Prince's wife, who was Xiao's niece and daughter-in-law, and also felt that the old lady was not capable of doing this, she had suffered enough from Xiao in the past and now she couldn't believe it.

Nanny Zhou leaned in and whispered, "I asked the old sisters, and they all said that he was useless. This old man brought his own death upon himself. The Duke was going to beat him up and send him back to the Xiao family, but because of his age, the Xiao family was a big family, and everyone was innocent, he locked him up in the small Buddhist courtyard."

After saying this, he also told everything he had learned about the Fourth Young Master's wife.

After hearing this, Qi Yueniang couldn't help but smack her lips, "No wonder I said that this fourth brother's wife is completely different from before. She used to ignore people, had a noble and aloof temperament, and dressed more elegantly than a widow like me."

Lan Xiang couldn't help but nod, "That's right, when I saw her today, I almost didn't recognize her. She looked so radiant, how could she be the former Fourth Young Master's wife!"

Nanny Zhou said a lot more. Qi Yueniang shook her head and sighed, "She was really bold. She smashed things like that. How could the old lady let her off easily? I'm afraid she must have suffered for it."

In fact, Qi Yueniang was a pitiful person. Her mother died early, leaving her with a legitimate daughter of the Qi family, but she married a short-lived man.

But in comparison, my fourth brother’s wife is even more pitiful.

She still has her parents' family to help her out. Her father didn't think much of her when she was widowed early and waiting to be married, but now his attitude has changed a lot and he is more considerate.

On the contrary, my fourth brother’s wife is really alone.

It was said that there were no people from my mother's family who had come early. Thinking of this, I called Lanxiang and asked, "Have Mr. Xu and Miss Xu agreed when they will come?"

Lanxiang tilted her head and thought for a moment, "They just went to seek refuge with their uncle, and I won't say much about other things."

"That's all for today. Remember to remind me tomorrow so I can tell my fourth brother and his wife."

"I know about it. I rarely hear about the Fourth Young Master's wife's relatives. In this case, I'm afraid the Fourth Young Master's wife will be happy for a long time." It turned out that on the way back to Beijing, Qin Ge'er had a high fever and was in a dilemma. He happened to meet the Xu brother and sister who were also on the way. The Xu brothers knew a little about medicine and helped to deliver two prescriptions. Fortunately, the fever subsided soon after taking the medicine.

After asking, I found out that the Xu brother and sister rushed to the capital for the special examination held by the emperor this year.

After further questioning, I found out that they were relatives.

The Xu siblings are the children of Xu's cousin, the mother of Song Guanzhou, the fourth brother's wife.

Since they were relatives and were going to the capital together, they traveled in a team. Qi Yueniang had a large car team, while the Xu brothers and sisters only had one horse-drawn carriage, which was a little shabby in comparison.

However, Qi Yue Niang was not a superficial person, and she took good care of the Xu brothers and sisters along the way.

It was only when they arrived in the capital that they said goodbye to Qi Yueniang, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for taking care of my brother and me along the way. But before we went to the capital, my uncle had been waiting for a long time. I had no choice but to go to my uncle's house to pay my respects first, and then go to his house to thank my sister-in-law and my cousin Guan Zhou when I have time."

Both of them were handsome and beautiful, especially Miss Xu. Although she was more than a year older than Song Guanzhou, they looked 50% similar and she was also a rare beauty.

Qi Yueniang gave some instructions before going to Beijing.

In the evening, Pei An returned from duty. When he heard that Qi Yueniang had returned home, he did not want to go to Shaohua Garden to wash up, but went straight to Kuoyue Zhai. Lanxiang saw him from a distance and reported to Qi Yueniang.

When Qi Yueniang heard this, she put down her needle and thread, fixed her makeup, and walked out of the courtyard gate.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Pei An.

"Sister-in-law, you are finally back. Thank you for your hard work after the long journey."

He still has the same handsome appearance of a young man. Although he has grown older and become more imposing, in Qi Yue Niang's heart, he is still the young man who returned from the frontier on horseback.

"Brother An, I've asked you and your sister-in-law to keep me in mind. Now I'm finally back."

Apart from her deceased husband, the only people in the Pei family who brought some light to Qi Yueniang's long and boring life as a widow were her uncles.

From Pei Chen who was conferred the title of Crown Prince, to Pei An who passed the imperial examination, and even Pei Che who had traveled far away, when they were at the mansion, they all treated her, their eldest sister-in-law, with respect and affection, and were very kind to her.

"I'm glad you're back. I've been thinking about you and Qin Ge'er since the beginning of the year, but I kept putting it off. Where's Qin Ge'er?"

Pei An followed his eldest sister-in-law into Kuoyuezhai and asked about his nephew.

Qi Yueniang smiled, "As soon as he came back, he was pestered by Ling Ge'er and Huan Ge'er. Father knew that the three brothers had not seen each other for a long time, so he specially asked Mr. Ling Ge'er to cancel the afternoon class today. As a result, the three brothers went out to play together."

Very good.

In Pei An's heart, Qi Yueniang was much closer to him than his elder sister Pei Qiuyun. He told his elder sister-in-law many things that had happened recently. When she saw Pei An, Qi Yueniang still couldn't avoid Pei Che and asked worriedly, "There's still no news from the third brother?"

Pei An nodded.

"However, Guanzhou was saved by his third brother, but he seems to be interested in converting to Buddhism—"

what?

Qi Yueniang was horrified, "How can I do this?!"
