The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 318

The next day, Xiao Yinxiu cheered up and called Pei Hai over. She wasn't interested either and just suggested finding a spacious place and having men and women sit separately.

"There was an empty spot beside the lotus pond. I saw that the sun was shining brightly these past two days, so why not put it there?"

Pei Hai suggested that although it was a bit irregular, there were corridors on both sides, at different heights. If it really rained, it would be much more convenient to take shelter under the eaves.

Xiao Yinxiu responded lazily. Pei Hai then brought fruits and snacks, and arranged the sedan chairs and seats.

"Uncle Hai, I'll assign Aunt Chu to you. You just need to arrange the food and daily necessities. She has opened a warehouse for you to choose from, whether in the inner courtyard or in the kitchen."

Pei Hai received instructions from Pei Jian and took this matter very seriously.

Because he was even more concerned, Xiao Yinxiu was furious, but he knew he could do nothing about it, so he simply threw away his housekeeper style and said, "I have a headache these days, so I'm afraid I can't take care of it. If you have any questions, just ask my sister-in-law."

Someone was sent to invite Qi Yueniang over and told her about the arrangements, and Qi Yueniang agreed to them.

After Pei Hai left, Qi Yueniang looked at Xiao Yinxiu and said worriedly, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. But you really don't look good. Are you tired from the Dragon Boat Festival these past two days?"

Xiao Yinxiu shook his head.

"Luckily, I'm here, sister-in-law. Otherwise, I'd have to worry about the Dragon Boat Festival gifts alone. I'm afraid it's the heat, I'm tired, I don't have the energy, and I get headaches from time to time, which is pretty terrible. I can only ask sister-in-law to worry about it more."

"Why are you being so polite to me? As long as you don't mind, I will support you first."

Qi Yue Niang knew that she disliked the Fourth Elder's family. The two of them had always had a heart-to-heart talk, and she avoided talking about it. But today, Xiao Yinxiu was unhappy and told Qi Yue Niang a few things.

"As a woman, she doesn't know how to take care of her husband and children. She just keeps in touch with her husband. Sooner or later, she will bring trouble to the fourth child."

Qi Yueniang smiled faintly when she heard this.

"Since the fourth child is happy, father won't stop her. Just let her go."

Xiao Yinxiu snorted, "She doesn't look like a lady in the boudoir at all. You don't know that you rarely attend social events in our mansion. Sigh, when I go out to banquets, big or small, people sneer and look down on the Fourth Elder's family when they mention it."

Qi Yueniang took a sip of hot tea and paused for a moment before saying, "After all, she is young, and she and the fourth brother love each other very much, and they don't have any children. That's all. We are all women, how many years can we be young? After she has children, even if she wants to be more ostentatious, I'm afraid she won't be able to do so."

"born?"

Xiao Yinxiu sneered continuously, looking at Qi Yueniang who looked puzzled, and did not hide anything. He approached Qi Yueniang and told her the truth, "I can't have children anymore!"

Qi Yueniang had also received the news early on, but she didn't expect Xiao Yinxiu to be so sure.

"… She is still young, so she needs to recuperate for a while. I hope the Bodhisattva will bless her and bring her a good fate."

Xiao Yinxiu didn't say much, but as long as she touched Song Guanzhou's soft spot, she felt relieved. She chatted with Qi Yueniang about some trivial things, and then Qi Yueniang stood up and said goodbye.

After sending him out, he said to Shuangyue, "Didn't you ask me yesterday why I was so close to my sister-in-law but so at odds with the Song family?"

Shuang Yue quickly bowed her head and apologized, "It was my fault. Please punish me, Madam."

"Why punish you? You and aunt are doing good for me. I know that. But my sister-in-law is living in the mansion now. She has a good temper, is smart, knows how to act, and has never made plans beyond my control. I know that. As long as she treats me sincerely, how can I bully her, a widow?"

Shuang Yue replied, "Madam, you have a kind heart. I understand it best in my heart."

"That Song family is so aggressive. When I had an argument with your young master, she even rushed in with the fourth child, just to see me make a fool of myself..."

Aunt Chu came in with hot porridge, and when she heard this, she paused.

That night, if the Fourth Young Master's wife had not stopped the Crown Prince's kick, the consequences would have been disastrous. If the kick had really landed in the lady's belly, not to mention giving birth, she would have also hurt her confidant.

but--

The Crown Prince's wife did not appreciate it, and instead speculated about the Fourth Young Master's wife.

She disliked the Fourth Young Master's wife, but she knew right from wrong and did not dare to persuade Xiao Yinxiu. She only let it go after she served her meal.

In the evening, Pei An came back with Qin Qingdong and his servant.

Song Guanzhou stared at her in amazement, "Qin Er, you're not home every day, and your aunt doesn't care about you?"

Qin Er leaned on the recliner, "It's boring here. If you don't want to compete with Xiao Cang tomorrow, I will definitely come to cheer you on."

As he was speaking, Chun Ge, carrying a large pile of boxes, stepped into the yard with difficulty.

Hehua and the maids saw this and hurried over to help. Pei An changed into a deep coat and soft shoes and came to Song Guanzhou's side. "Aunt Qin heard that you broke your leg, so she specially asked Xihui to bring it over."

Qin Qingdong waved his hand, and Chun Ge and He Hua came over with things in their arms.

He casually opened the dark red lacquer box on top of him. "This is the deer antler given by the palace last year. My old lady doesn't know if she can use it after breaking her leg. Let's ask the doctor. If she can use it, use it. If not, just put it aside. With your bad luck, I'm afraid you may need it later."

"Xi Hui!"

Pei An got angry when he heard this, "You hope she'll be better—"

"...I am telling the truth. There are also tiger bones and bear gallbladders..."

Song Guanzhou quickly asked him to stop. In modern times, he would have to go to jail. "I'm not in the way. These are precious medicinal herbs. Let the elders in the mansion keep them. I'm young and growing fast. I really don't need them."

"Take it!"

Qin Qingdong waved his hand to let the maids carry it away, and suddenly said, "Brother Xian will come too tomorrow."

Pei An was stunned, "Tenth Prince?"

"It's not surprising. Brother Xian has been talking about this to His Majesty and His Majesty many times. Even the Crown Prince is annoyed by him. Yesterday on the Dragon Boat Festival, my eldest brother went to pay his respects to His Majesty and His Majesty and told them about this."

Song Guanzhou was delighted. "I saw Xian Ge'er at the banquet to celebrate His Majesty's longevity last time. He was a cute little prince. He was very lovable."

"Look!"

Qin Qingdong pointed at Song Guanzhou and looked at Pei An, "She is probably the only one in the world who dares to say that about the Tenth Prince. No wonder he's always thinking about you."

Pei An sighed, "Although the tenth prince is young, he has always been thoughtful. A few days ago, the palace rewarded him with a Dragon Boat Festival gift. He valued Guanzhou so much that I was really a little nervous."

Song Guanzhou snorted and chuckled, moving closer to Pei An and smelling the scent of soapberry seeds after he had just washed. It was very refreshing. "Don't think too much. He is a child with a pure heart. Although he is a prince, he has his own friends."

"Wow, Song Guanzhou, you are so shameless!"

Qin Er teased, and Song Guanzhou was even more proud.

After dinner, Pei An and Qin Qingdong went to Zhengxian Pavilion to meet their father in person. It happened that the two uncles were drinking tea and playing chess together, and they reported that the tenth prince Liu Xian was coming to the house.

Pei Jian raised his eyes from the Zhenlong Bureau, "The Emperor and the Empress... have agreed?"
