The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 44

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed. Knowing that he was coming to pick her up, they asked Pei Hua and his wife to lead the way. Before leaving, Mei was a little reluctant, "In the past, you loved Second Aunt's golden silk Ruyi shrimp ball noodles the most. Come over when you have time. Second Aunt will cook for you personally."

Pei Hua shook his head at these words, "My dear mother, your own son can't even eat once a year here."

If Pei An came over, Mei would be willing to give up everything.

"My nephew will come whenever he has time, and I hope you won't find me annoying."

"My son, I really hope you will come, why would I dislike you?"

After seeing Pei An and his son and daughter-in-law off, Nanny Chen at the side helped her into the house and said, "Old Mo's family came to the kitchen earlier and said that they were going to buy groceries, but they saw several men carrying some heavy objects into the mansion through the corner gate. When they asked casually, they said they wanted to fill the well."

Mei sighed, "Forget it, if we don't want to know, don't ask our family about it. Since Che'er left, I can't stay in that mansion for even a moment."

Nanny Chen consoled him, "It's good that Che-ge is out on his own now. At least he's saved his life."

"I also know why An Ge'er didn't come. After Che Ge'er's accident, he had the hardest time. He knew everything, but he couldn't do anything. I saw that they grew up like twins. Now one of them is missing. How can they not feel sad?"

Speaking of this, it was even more upsetting, "The Duke also paired a delicate girl from the Song family with An'er, ah!"

Nanny Chen laughed, "My wife, you are really kind-hearted. Her own mother doesn't love her, but you, her aunt, are worried. That's all—"

With just one sentence, Mei was praised so much that she smiled from ear to ear.

"How can I not be happy? I only had Hua back then. In order to have another son, I coaxed Che and An to roll around in bed with me several times. These two children are like glutinous rice balls. I wish they were my own children."

After the master and servant chatted for a while, Pei An and Pei Hua came to the pavilion on the water in the garden. The gauze and the setting sun, the light and shadows swayed in the water.

The sisters are like blooming flowers, smiling and chanting in the pavilion.

Gu Miaofeng walked in first and said with a smile, "Hey, the Fourth Miss's feast is still going on?"

Mei Qingyu came over and took her arm, "Good sister-in-law, drink a cup of wine for me. I won the flying flower game, but I lost miserably in the touhu game. I can't drink half a cup."

After that, a few girls came over and forced themselves to drink half a cup of Gu's flower wine.

Gu cried out, "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by your eldest and fourth brothers?"

Mei Qingyu turned her head and saw the handsome man standing next to Pei Hua. He was wearing a royal blue round-necked robe and a black belt around his waist. He was not wearing any gold or silver, only a jade pendant and a royal blue belt.

Her hair was tied up on top of her head and a green jade hairpin was pinned on it.

He has clear eyebrows and bright eyes, and a face as white as jade.

He was indeed a handsome man. Seeing him, Rendong went over to pay her respects. Pei An told her to bring Song Guanzhou out. Then the sisters inside came out one after another and paid their respects to the two brothers.

Song Guanzhou dozed off for a long time. She was still quite accurate in playing pot-tossing and other games, so she drank less wine.

But Song Guanzhou, a modern semi-illiterate, was totally incapable of playing the purely literary form of Feihualing. He drank nine cups out of ten. Soon he felt sleepy, but the alcohol helped him and he was almost half drunk.

His mind was still somewhat clear, but his hands and feet were somewhat out of control.

The girl and the lady next to them walked gracefully. Song Guanzhou took off her clothes, revealing her slender waist. Her face was flushed, her eyes were full of emotions, and she was suddenly moved.

Rendong and her maid supported her, and Pei An walked over and caught her.

Gu Miaofeng also covered her mouth and smiled, "Shuyu, why don't you come for a while and get your fourth sister-in-law drunk."

"My eldest sister-in-law has wronged me. In fact, my fourth sister-in-law likes us sisters and drank a few more cups because she was happy."

Song Guanzhou leaned against Pei An's side, her makeup thick with alcohol, making her even more charming. She laughed drunkenly, "It's okay, sister-in-law, we'll meet again someday." After that, she leaned on Pei An's arm and said coquettishly, "I want to go home."

Pei An caught Song Guanzhou's soft body, and he and Rendong supported him on both sides until he got into the sedan chair, then they turned back to say goodbye.

After returning to Shaohua Garden, Song Guanzhou lay lazily on the kang bed, humming a familiar tune. Rendong and her maid helped her take off her head ornaments and changed her gorgeous clothes. She clamored for a while and said she wanted to take a bath.

Honeysuckle could only go down to prepare.

Pei An put her in the house. Before he could stay with her for a moment, Alu came over and said, "The master sent a message, asking you to come in and talk."

Lin He stood at the door, and when he saw him come out, he whispered, "Fourth Master, Aunt Fang is gone."

"went?"

Pei An asked back, and Lin He could only nod, "She had her throat cut. Although she didn't die, she had a big wound. She was soaked in the well for a long time the night before. I thought the Fourth Young Master's wife had rescued her, but she had a high fever at dawn, and the wound started to flare up. I tried everything I could to get rid of the high fever these past two days... Just now - she died."

If Pei An was not greatly affected by Jin Zhu's death the night before, then he felt a chill running down his spine when Aunt Fang passed away at this moment.

Thinking of what Song Guanzhou had whispered to him about the worthlessness of human life when he came back from the small Buddhist temple, he felt it again at this moment.

When he and Linhe arrived at Zhengsine Pavilion, the place was solemn inside and outside. Pei Chen had drunk a lot during the day and could not be woken up at this moment. Xiao Yinxiu gritted his teeth and went to his father-in-law's room, waiting for the storm to come.

The old man who prepared the body and the government coroner, after having thoroughly checked the body, placed Aunt Fang in her own room. As she had not had many maids during her lifetime, and only her personal servant Jinzhu had passed away already, there was no one to mourn for her.

Pei Jian sat in a chair in the main room, looking dejected and lonely.

After Pei An went in, Xiao Yinxiu seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and looked at Pei An eagerly, "Silang, my uncle hasn't eaten all day, please try to persuade him."

"Okay, sister-in-law, go and take care of Aunt Fang's funeral. I'll stay with father."

Xiao Yinxiu left with gratitude, and called Aunt Chu and Nanny Tao over to think about how to deal with the affairs after Aunt Fang's death.

Pei An came up to Pei Jian and whispered, "Father, why don't I order some food so you can at least have a bite." Pei Jian looked up when he heard the voice, looking extremely lonely.

"As a father... I am useless."

His voice was hoarse and made a whimpering sound like a river that had been dry for a long time.

Pei An stepped forward and consoled her, "It's not father's fault. She was just unlucky after all. Everyone tried their best to save her, but she still couldn't stand the wound."

Pei Jian laughed miserably and let out a wail.

"Human nature is complex. Being a father is difficult. You can never fully understand it even if you spend your entire life on it."

His hair was crooked, loose and messy, and his eyes were full of tears, but he held them back. He just sighed and laughed at himself, and each sigh struck Pei An's heart.

"Take care, father. She has you thinking about her, so her life is worthwhile."

"Twenty-six years old."

Pei An raised his eyes and saw his father's face full of sadness. He murmured, "Fang'er is only 26 years old, younger than your elder sister. Why? Why can't Xiao family accommodate her?!"

Xiao!

Pei An lowered his eyes and closed them, feeling very powerless, "Mother...it's still related to mother."
