The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 286

Shuangyue took out the medicinal wine and gently wiped it on Xiao Yinxiu's knees. "Old lady, too... I'm afraid your knees will flare up again tomorrow and will be more painful than now." She blew gently while applying the medicine.

Xiao Yinxiu looked at him blankly, then closed his eyes and tears fell down his cheeks again.

"No flower lasts forever, but I'm looking at her."

There was no need to ask. Aunt Chu and Shuangyue had been scolded by Madam Min, so how could they not know that this was referring to the Fourth Young Master's wife? Aunt Chu was silent for a long time before she whispered, "Just a while ago, I heard the doorman come to report that the Fourth Young Master and the Fourth Young Master's wife had returned from burning incense."

"From now on, I will no longer care about her. Whether she is good or bad, it has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Yinxiu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the redness and pain in her knees also made her depressed. At this moment, a little maid came in from outside. She hid behind the screen with her head huddled, not daring to say a word, only her pair of cunning eyes rolling around.

Aunt Chu had been scolded in front of Mrs. Min, and seeing her like this, she couldn't help but go out and give her a beating.

"You're peeking in front of the lady. Which maid taught you to be so sneaky in front of the pillar?"

The little girl was in her teens and started crying after being beaten. Aunt Chu slapped her on the cheek and said, "You are crying! If you cry again, I will sell you out!"

"Aunt, please don't hit me anymore. The prince told me to say that he would not eat at Madam's place."

Aunt Chu frowned and asked, "But are you going to the master's place with your two brothers?"

The little maid wiped her tears and choked up, "Ling'er and Huan'er are eating at Kuoyuezhai with Qin'er. The prince... the prince..." She stammered and didn't dare to look up. Aunt Chu couldn't bear to see the maid talking back like that, so she pinched her a few more times, "Speak up!"

"Aunt Qiao said it was chest belching, and the Prince... the Prince went over to take a look, and said to stay there today..." The last few words were almost held in his mouth and spoken vaguely. Not only Aunt Chu understood it, but Xiao Yinxiu inside seemed to have heard it as well.

"Come in and answer!"

Her tone was angry. Aunt Chu pushed the little girl and whispered, "You bastard, if you make my lady angry, I will skin you alive!" The little girl was so scared that she almost didn't dare to go in, but Aunt Chu was very strong and dragged her to Xiao Yinxiu in a few seconds.

She did not allow the maid to report herself, but smiled and said to Xiao Yinxiu: "Madam, the prince has something else to do, so he will not come to the room today. The two brothers have also been left there by the eldest young lady's wife to have dinner with Qin'er. I will go to pick them up later."

"What? Is there something wrong with the prince? What is it?"

She didn't expect to see Pei Chen during the day. She had been punished by her parents at Mrs. Min's place, and she never expected Pei Chen to come and rescue her. How come it was almost evening, and he didn't come today as he had agreed to do yesterday?

After several inquiries, Aunt Chu just said that the little girl didn't know either, and it was because the prince was worried that you would have to wait a little longer that he called the maid who was cleaning the house in to report the news.

Xiao Yinxiu didn't believe these excuses at all. She waved the maid away and wiped her tears with her sleeve. "They are really heartless thieves. I'm afraid they went to some bitch's house again. It's my fault that I have always been lenient, which allowed these thieves to take advantage of me!"

She cried and cursed, and because Pei Chen and her two sons were not around, it was easy for her to curse.

When Ling Ge'er and Huan Ge'er came back, they looked at their mother's gloomy face and dared not vent their anger. The more they felt this way, the angrier Xiao Yinxiu became when she heard the little bookboy who accompanied Ling Ge'er to study report that he was beaten by the teacher today. She pointed at Ling Ge'er and scolded him, "Your father is not good enough, and you are not good enough either!"

I pulled Ling Ge'er over and took a look, and saw that his palm was red and swollen.

Ling Ge'er whispered that it was his fault, but Xiao Yinxiu didn't like it. Thinking of her father scolding her for not being as good as her aunt during the day, she became even more angry. She raised her hand and hit Pei Yulin's shoulder twice, "You will have to support your father in the future. You just mess around every day. Are you going to be like your father, who only knows how to eat, drink, whore and gamble?"

After saying this, I felt even sadder and started crying again.

Pei Yulin was spanked a few times by his mother, but he didn't feel any pain. However, seeing his mother crying and scolding, he began to want to avoid her. He whispered a few words to Huang Ge'er, and the two children coincidentally sneaked out hand in hand and went to Shaohua Garden.

In Shaohua Garden, the lights have already been lit.

It was still dusk, but the door to the main room was closed. Xu Lingbai was inside, and facing Pei An and his wife, he couldn't contain his excitement, "This... is this really Ling Qiao?" He paced back and forth, rubbing his hands together, his eyes red, but with starlight twinkling.

"Ji Zhang, cousin, you and your wife have never lied to me, right?"

Pei An stood up, pushed down his shoulders, and sat on the official hat chair. "Cousin, Guan Zhou and I went out personally. We didn't come back last night because of my cousin. Guan Zhou never lied. Cousin Ling Qiao is fine now. She is thinner and darker, but she is not injured. Don't worry."

After hearing this, Xu Lingbai couldn't hold back his tears any more and they fell from the corners of his eyes.

He turned sideways and quickly raised his sleeve to wipe it off. "Thanks to you and your wife, and thanks to the help of the master, I... I will never forget it." After saying this, he was about to stand up and pay his respects. Pei An and Song Guanzhou held him down on both sides. "Cousin, why are you so polite? It's a good thing that we have found my cousin now. I asked you to come here to discuss bringing my cousin in."

Xu Lingbai shook his head, "Now that I have found my sister, how can I bother you anymore in your house? I will just rent a small house outside."

Song Guanzhou snorted.

"You are a pedantic scholar, yet you are still being polite to me and Silang. Are the servants and stewards of this mansion making things difficult for you?"

Xu Lingbai quickly explained, "That's not true, cousin. The family treats me like a family member and never makes things difficult for me. I have caused you and the master a lot of trouble, and I feel bad about it." Pei An smiled and said, "Cousin, stop saying these polite words, and it won't be a problem. You are about to take the imperial examination, and your cousin has returned from a disaster. It is best for you to recuperate in the family. If you go out and meet a bad guy again, won't Guanzhou and I feel guilty for the rest of our lives?"

This……

Song Guanzhou looked unhappy and sighed, "Who are the villains? I still don't know. You are a man, you are not afraid of going anywhere, but what about my cousin? Besides, I asked you to come here to talk about business. Have you ever thought of sending me away?"

"This……"

Xu Lingbai thought about it and could only listen to Song Guanzhou's arrangement. "Tomorrow I will send someone to buy a little maid and put her in front of your cousin. You can take it as a sign of trust and take Linxi to the city to pick her up. Silang will tell you in detail where you have been in the past month. We will make a joint statement and just say that after you went to Longen Academy, your cousin and your aunt returned to her hometown, Cang County."

After the three of them finished talking, a crisp, milky voice came from outside, "Is Fourth Aunt here?"
