The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 202

Pei An braved the drizzle and boarded the carriage. Alu yawned and also boarded the carriage carrying a jar of medicine and a food box. "This is what Sister Dong just made. She told me to make sure you eat it all."

After talking with Song Guanzhou for a few more words and wasting some time, they had no time to eat in the house. Sister Dong simply asked Aluquan to take him with him and give him many instructions.

Pei An did not refuse and took the pills in the middle of the night. Although it was not as effective as the decoction, it relieved the pain in his body.

"Listen to the young lady's instructions later and ask Rendong to keep an eye on her. Don't let her get too tired."

Alu nodded and yawned, "Don't worry, Fourth Young Master. Your health is the problem now... Oh!" He couldn't help but sigh, "Young Madam doesn't even care about you. She only remembers to look for her cousin."

—— Pei An was speechless and gave him a slap on the face. "Hun, this is an extraordinary period, so you should put your cousin first. If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'm afraid you'll get a beating."

board……

A'lu felt a chill rising in his spine, and he approached Pei An, whispering, "Yesterday, the young lady punished the eldest son of the Fang family with a cane, and it was very rude! Later, I asked the people under Brother Linshan, and I found out that the bastard of the Fang family was so bold that he dared to covet the young lady's beauty!"

"what?"

A'lu shrank his neck and said, "Fourth Young Master, I forgot to tell you last night, but the young lady didn't suffer any loss. I heard that Brother Linshan stepped forward, twisted her out, and beat her ten times with a stick. The boy's skin was torn and he couldn't even cry."

Pei An's eyes darkened, and he asked coldly, "Did your young mistress get scared?"

"Fourth Master, you must not underestimate the young lady. It is said that the young lady is high up in the Fang family and is not afraid of anything! On the way back, I heard from my subordinates that the young lady is brave and resourceful, and cooperated well with Brother Linshan. They captured a servant of the Fang family who was tortured by Liu, used both soft and hard tactics, asked about the whole story, and made all the preparations before heading straight to the Fang family."

Pei An was worried. "She looks pale. She must be tired from running around yesterday. You should go back later and persuade her to rest with Ren Dong. It won't be too late to leave after receiving a message from Er Lang."

"I understand, little one!"

Longen Academy is built next to Longen Temple. In the early morning, the sound of drums can be heard in the temple. Students from all over the country have already gotten up and are heading to the school in the morning light. Xu Lingbai is among the crowd, looking energetic.

He is tall and thin, and stands out among the other students.

"Brother Xu, you are here earlier than me again today."

Li Xi chased after him and joked, "I'm afraid no one in this academy is more diligent than you."

Xu Lingbai shook his head repeatedly, "I am not very talented in studying, and only hard work can make up for my shortcomings. Brother Li, please don't make fun of me."

The two met at Long En Academy, and in just a dozen days, they had become good friends. Li Xi added, "In a few days, this class will be over. I'll wait for you to pick up your sister and live in the capital. It will be much more convenient for us to meet and visit each other."

Li Xi was about 28 or 29 years old and was a member of the Li family in the capital.

The Li family is also a noble family, but Li Xi is a low-key person. He only invited Xu Lingbai enthusiastically after he became familiar with him.

"Thank you for the invitation, Brother Li. After the class is over, I will go back to my uncle's house and pick up my sister in the city. I will come back to bother you after she settles down."

"Great! There are many literati and patriots in Beijing. I will take you to meet them later, especially the Third Son of the Huang Family and the Fourth Son of the Liu Family... They are all generous and warm-hearted, and will definitely become your close friends." Li Xi's sincerity infected Xu Lingbai to a great extent.

He couldn't help but sigh that he had made the right decision to come to Long En Academy.

When the two were about to reach the school, they saw a guard in a blue shirt and shorts standing at the door.

Li Xi exclaimed, and before he could say anything, a student pointed at Xu Lingbai and said, "This is Mr. Xu Lingbai from Kaizhou."

Hearing this, Xu Lingbai looked up and met Li Xi's gaze. He was puzzled. When he was confused, the strong guard came up to him, bowed and said, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xu Lingbai?"

"I am your disciple. May I ask who your Excellency is...?"

"Mr. Xu, I am Linxi, the guard of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Please excuse me for a moment and speak."

Zhenguogong Mansion? Isn't that the home of my cousin Song Guanzhou?

Seeing this, Li Xi pushed the dazed Xu Lingbai and said, "It turns out that someone is from the mansion. Brother Xu, go quickly."

After the two of them left the school and came to the pavilion in the garden, Xu Lingbai asked, "May I ask if this person is the one who serves the Fourth Young Master's wife?"

"It was the Fourth Young Master's wife who sent her subordinates here to take the cousin back home."

This?

Xu Lingbai was completely confused. "There is a great scholar teaching in the academy, and it will take another three to five days to finish. Can I——"

Linxi bowed and said, "My cousin, something happened to my cousin. The young lady has thought carefully and decided not to hide it from you..."

"what?"

Xu Lingbai lost his voice, "What happened to my sister? She is at my uncle's house, could it be that she suffered a natural disaster——"

"My dear cousin, we should set off without delay. The distance from the academy to the capital is thirty miles. It has been raining a lot recently and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. We should not delay any longer." After saying that, he raised his badge to Xu Lingbai to show his identity, "This is the jade badge of the mansion. Please take a look, my dear cousin."

Xu Lingbai was somewhat at a loss, and just grabbed Linxi and asked, "How is my sister now?"

Linxi supported him with his backhand and strode forward. "My cousin was murdered by a villain and now there is no trace of her. The young lady is searching the whole capital for her. A'man, the maidservant beside my cousin, also died while protecting her master. Jingzhao Yin has filed a case. Please pack your luggage quickly and return home as soon as possible."

After listening to this, Xu Lingbai stood there in a daze, and suddenly felt sad.

He could hardly move, and murmured hoarsely, "My sister... Ling Qiao... is gone?"

Linxi held him up and said, "My dear cousin, my fourth son, the young lady, and the second son of the Qin family have been searching for her as much as possible since they heard about her. They received the news the night before yesterday and have not given up in the past two days! My dear cousin, please cheer up and don't collapse before you find her."

Hearing this, Xu Lingbai tried to stand up straight, "Yes, Your Majesty is right, I have to go back to find my sister."

Li Xi saw Xu Lingbai through the window, his face was pale as if he had been struck by lightning. He wanted to come out to ask for clarification, but unexpectedly Xu Lingbai quickly ran away with the guard.

After leaving the academy, Linxi said, "Young Madam tried her best to suppress the cousin's matter. Qin Erlang announced to the public that she was also the daughter of our mentor. Please don't let it slip, or the cousin will be criticized when she returns."

"This..., the young lady has thought of it."

Linxi looked at the scholar with red lips and white teeth, and felt pity for him after such a blow. "Don't worry, the young lady said that as long as the person is alive, everything will be fine."

"Then... who on earth harmed my sister——"

Linxi thought of what the young lady had said, and did not hide it, "It was your uncle's eldest son who had evil intentions towards my cousin—"
