The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 262

This day happened to be the first day of May.

Shaohua Garden was bustling with activity, but Zhengxian Pavilion was quite awkward. Xiao Hongyun glanced at Pei Jian, his hand twisting the chess piece trembling slightly. He finally put it on the chessboard and said quietly, "Thank you for your concern, Master. You don't need to mention this matter anymore. Zhan Bing died young and is now a handful of dust. Mentioning it only adds to the sadness. Mu Xue... Mu Xue insisted on having her own way. It's better for Hongli and I not to meet again."

The Xiao family wanted to return to Jiangzhou. After much thought, Pei Jian mentioned his old wife who was imprisoned in the small Buddhist temple.

"I sent a maid to take care of him. He is in good health, but has a bad temper. Thinking about my uncle, my second brother and myself, we are all in our sixties, and we are buried up to our necks in the earth. Looking back, no matter how great the hatred is, it is like a cloud of smoke and I cannot linger on."

Xiao Hongyun lowered his head and took a look at the chaotic chess game.

"Mu Xue's obsession for more than thirty years is ridiculous. Zhan Bing entered the palace, but she had no honors during her lifetime. After her death, she was named a noble concubine, but because she had no children, this honor seemed to be just that. My Lord, please don't think about it anymore. Her life was short and it was all fate."

"The past and the future are just like this. Uncle, Xiao is immoral and has committed many heinous crimes, but because of Chen'er, Yun'er, and now An'er, she, the old lady, has to support her, but it can only be done this way. But you and she are born of the same mother, so it would be good to meet her when you come to Beijing this time."

That's it!

Xiao Hongyun sighed, "Master is kindhearted, I know that. Well, I will discuss with my second brother later. Even if we want to meet, we should do it in private. My stupid daughter must not know, otherwise she will think that the east wind has come and she has a backer again."

"Xiu'er is generally well-educated and virtuous. Xiao has been around for so many years, so she must have been affected. Uncle, don't worry. She and Chen'er may quarrel, but behind closed doors, they are still the pillars of this mansion."

The two of them talked heart to heart and said a lot.

Xiao Hongli happened to come to Zhengxian Pavilion as well. He met Pei Hai on the way. The two walked in together. Pei Jian saw Pei Hai and asked about Shaohua Garden. "Are you enjoying your meal?"

Pei Hai nodded, "Master, uncle, don't worry. The fourth young master's wife is lively and enjoys the meal with everyone, big and small. I sent a few dishes on the master's orders, and the two cousins ​​dragged me to drink two cups of wine." How could it not be lively?

If Pei Hai was a step slower, he would not be able to get out.

The room was full of young people, all enjoying their meal without any regard for hierarchy, and they all pulled Pei Hai to sit down.

Xiao Hongli laughed and said, "It's great to be young. You two should go and have a look. I was passing by outside and I could hear the music and laughter inside."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be trying to persuade her, and then he spoke again, "Brother-in-law, I'm not trying to comfort you, but we are all old, fame and fortune can be buried in the ground, it's really not a big deal. Now that you have children and grandchildren, if Shilang's family has another child, you should really enjoy the happiness of family life."

Silang's wife has difficulty in bearing children.

Pei Jian had heard something about this matter.

He had killed tens of thousands of enemies, having already committed the great sin of killing. Now that there were few people in his mansion, he considered it as retribution. Therefore, the fact that Shouan's daughter might not be able to have children after falling into the water was nothing in his eyes.

At worst, I can adopt a child from the second wife.

"Yeah, it's time to let it go."

"Brother-in-law, there are a lot more smiles and joy in this courtyard than before, so why not have fun?"

Pei Jian nodded.

Seeing that the two were there, he lifted his robe and stood up, "Uncle, second brother, let's go to the small Buddhist temple."

"This……"

Xiao Hongli looked at Xiao Hongyun, and they both sighed, "My lord is kind and righteous, so let's go and see her." Linchuan walked in front with a lantern, Pei Hai lit a torch, and supported Xiao Hongyun with one hand.

"Da Hai, I can still walk alone, please take care of the master, the road is bumpy at night."

The group walked in the night in fine clothes, and no one knew about it. Only the birds on the treetops chirped a few times, which was not as clear as the daytime, but hoarse and sharp, which made people's backs cold. The group walked most of the mansion before arriving in front of the small Buddhist courtyard. In the past, the small Buddhist courtyard was not too far away from the Zhengxian Pavilion, but later the gate was closed and another corner gate was opened, and they went in opposite directions.

The guard saw the master coming and bowed before opening the wooden door.

Pei Hai and Lin Chuan led the three masters inside with lanterns and torches. It was a barren land. There were a few sand pines there, but now they have all been cut down. The Dadu Well where Jin Zhu was drowned earlier has now been destroyed, with no trace of its past left.

Just eerie and cold.

Two old maids came over upon hearing the noise and greeted the three masters.

"Is the old lady okay?"

Pei Hai was the first to ask about Xiao's situation. The old nanny answered carefully, "She just served me some food and broke a few porcelain bottles earlier, injuring her hand, but she is fine otherwise."

"You didn't rest?"

The old lady shook her head.

"Still resting in the house."

"Lead the way, the master and the two uncles have come to visit the old lady." Two old maids, one went in first, and the other led the way from behind. Before Pei Jian and the other two stepped onto the stone steps of the small Buddhist courtyard, Xiao's tearing voice suddenly came from inside, "Get out! Let him die! I won't see you--"

Pei Jian paused for a moment, then walked inside as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Hongli could only keep up with his elder brother's pace by supporting him.

Entering the main room, Xiao's cries became even sharper, like a sharp blade, piercing the eardrums of the intruders. Pei Jian walked towards the inner room without stopping, and walked around the screen. Under the dim candlelight, he saw the hideous, fat old lady sitting on the Luohan bed. One of her soft cloth shoes had fallen off, and the other was hanging on her foot precariously.

Her eyes were full of hatred as she stared at Pei Jian who walked in.

"Pei Jian! Are you here to see if I'm dead? I'm sorry to disappoint you, old man. I'm alive and well. I've lived longer than your Xiao Zhanbing, Aunt Fang, and that bunch of bitches!"

She was so crazy that the two old maids held her tightly to prevent her sharp claws from flying onto the master's face and scratching the sky!

"Xiao!"

Pei Jian rebuked sternly, "You don't care about others, but you should be more considerate of Chen Ge'er and Yun Yatou's dignity!"

Chen Ge'er, Yun Niang?

Xiao suddenly burst into tears. She no longer had the gracefulness of the Xiao family's daughter, nor the composure of an old lady in an official residence. She covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face.

The golden lotus hairpin in her gray and white hair also loosened with her bun and fell to her shoulders, hanging a few strands of hair in vain, but unable to fall off. It was just like her life. She cried for a long time before she heard a familiar voice, "Sister, don't cry."

big brother?

It was like a voice in a dream. She had been in so much pain these past few months, looking forward to someone coming from her parents' home. Now...

coming?
