The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

The two of them were unwilling to take a detour from outside the mansion, so they took the path inside the mansion leading to the second room. Two maids led the way, and they chatted and laughed happily.

But when I walked deep into the garden, I heard someone weeping.

Pei Shuyu wanted to go forward to take a look, but Mei Qingyu gently pulled her back and nodded to the two maids. The two maids tiptoed over and saw Pei Qiuyu sitting behind the bushes under the rockery, wiping her tears.

"Replying to the two young ladies, it seems to be the second young lady of the eldest house."

Pei Qiuyu?

Pei Shuyu lifted her skirt and walked forward, calling softly, "Sister Qiuyu?"

The young girl paused, raised her head slightly, and tentatively replied, "Sister Shuyu?"

Pei Shuyu and Mei Qingyu walked forward one after the other, and with the support of their maids, they carefully climbed the stairs and came to the foot of the rockery.

"What's wrong? You're crying like a tearful person. What kind of injustice has happened to you?"

The moment he talked about grievances, it seemed as if Pei Qiuyu's heart opened up.

She covered her handkerchief and cried inconsolably. Pei Shuyu frowned, "Tell me, Sister Mei and I are here, who bullied you? I'll take you to find my second sister-in-law!"

Pei Qiuyu shook his head.

There was no maid by her side. She was alone, holding a handkerchief soaked with tears. Her eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she was really heartbroken.

After much persuasion, Pei Qiuyu said with lifeless eyes, "My second sister-in-law told father and told me about a marriage." Mei Qingyu and Pei Shuyu looked at each other when they heard it. The girl should be happy to have a marriage, but Pei Qiuyu was sitting there alone, crying.

I guess it’s not what I want.

So Pei Shuyu asked carefully, "Whose son is this?"

Pei Qiuyu had no shyness on her face, only anger, "Xiao Cang, the youngest son of the eldest branch of the Xiao family."

Who is it?

Pei Shuyu looked puzzled, "Is it my second sister-in-law's family?"

"…It's her brother!"

Mei Qingyu didn't know the reason, so she said softly, "The Xiao family is a big family with a refined and elegant family tradition. I know my second sister-in-law is pretty good too, so they should be a good match."

A good match?

Pei Qiuyu looked at Mei Qingyu, tears streaming down her face. "That's because Sister Mei and Sister Shuyu don't know the reason..." As soon as she finished speaking, she burst into tears. Pei Shuyu also became anxious. "Tell me, you want to make us two anxious."

"The Xiao family is a big family, and has always been related to our family by marriage. I know that as a concubine's daughter, it is a good thing to have such a place to live, but -"

Pei Qiuyu choked up and said, "But... Xiao Cang is a blind man!"

what?

Pei Shuyu only knew that the Xiao family was a prestigious family, but she never thought that one of the eldest sons was blind. "Who told you that? But my second sister-in-law told you herself."

"The second sister-in-law talked to the aunt, praising her younger brother for being sensible, well-behaved and responsible, and how the house was clean without any maids touching him. He was as clean as the fourth brother, but - in the end, she said that his eye disease had not healed and he could not see clearly."

Is it blurry?

I'm afraid you can't see it.

Pei Shuyu was surprised to hear this. "If that's the case, I'm afraid my uncle won't agree to it."

"No!"

Pei Qiuyu replied desperately, "Father agreed."

what?

Pei Shuyu and Mei Qingyu looked at each other, and Pei Qiuyu covered her face and cried uncontrollably, "They said there are no good days in April, so let's find an auspicious day after the Dragon Boat Festival in May to get engaged." As for the three matchmakers and six betrothals, they will slowly come together and get married in the golden autumn season.

Having said that, Mei Qingyu didn't dare to say anything else. She just hugged Pei Qiuyu's frail body and remained silent.

Pei Shuyu was a little furious. "Why did the second sister-in-law harm my sister like this? Even her own brothers can't do that. Has her heart grown outside?"

Mei Qingyu heard her loud voice and was afraid that others would hear her. "Keep your voice down. Do you want to cause gossip to Sister Qiuyu?"

Pei Shuyu bent down, supported Pei Qiuyu and said, "If Xiao Ding wasn't there, there might still be a way out. Don't worry." As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Qiuyu shook his head, wiped his tears, and choked up, "Father agreed, there is no other way..."

He is the backbone of the two mansions, the Duke!

The three of them squatted in the leeward place and talked for a long time.

Mei Qingyu sighed. What if her husband was born with a disability?

She looked at Pei Qiuyu with sympathy, and suddenly whispered, "Why not...why not go and ask the Duke for help? Maybe the Duke doesn't know about the eye disease of the young master of the Xiao family..."

"Yes! My sister and auntie should go and ask uncle for help. Life is not easy for a woman. How can she live with a husband like this?"

Pei Qiuyu was timid and tired after crying for half a day. She thanked her two sisters reluctantly. As the sky was getting dark, she said, "God is cruel. This is my fate. Thank you two sisters for comforting me. I am afraid Qiuyu will be like this from now on. Please don't despise me, sisters."

"What are you talking about? How could we two be so shallow? Just listen to us, sister. Before you make up your mind, go and ask the prince or the Duke for help."

The two were worried, so they helped Pei Qiuyu back to the house. Aunt Li had a limp, and she was afraid that she would not look good when walking, so she rarely went out with people.

Seeing the two of them coming, she stood up and bowed, then sat down again, and asked the maid to serve tea, but Pei Shuyu refused, "Don't worry, Auntie. My two sisters came to visit the fourth sister-in-law, and my sister was upset and said a few more words. Now the sky is setting, and mother is still waiting for us to go back, so we won't stay any longer."

Aunt Li was honest and dull, and she kept repeating the same words, "Thank you, two young ladies, for comforting Yu'er." She couldn't say any other nice words fluently.

Seeing this, Pei Qiuyu had no choice but to see the two of them out.

"Forget it, forget it. We sent you off, and you sent us off. How can we go home after sending each other back and forth?"

Mei Qingyu said with a smile, which made Pei Qiuyu smile as well, "Sisters are kind-hearted, Qiuyu will remember it in her heart."

When the two returned to Mrs. Mei's place, Mrs. Mei was talking to Gu Miaofeng about the two sisters, "We went to the rooms of all the sisters in the mansion to check on you two, but I didn't know that you two had gone to the mansion. Why didn't you tell us?" Mrs. Mei spoke slowly and was rarely angry.

He was angry at the moment, and just spoke faster.

Mei Qingyu and Pei Shuyu came forward and said coquettishly, "We have nothing to do, and thinking of the eldest sister-in-law's instructions a few days ago, we went to see the fourth sister-in-law today."

Gu Miaofeng pretended to be angry, "If you are gone, come and tell mother and me. I was waiting for you to have dinner but you disappeared. I was wondering who kidnapped my two beautiful sisters, but I don't want to be sad for half a day in vain."

Mei Qingyu turned around, held onto Gu Miaofeng's shoulders, and leaned on top of her, giggling, "My sister-in-law must be disgusted with us sisters for eating too much these days, so she wants to let the kidnapper take us away..."

"Okay, sit down and eat."

After the meal, Mrs. Mei asked, "Is the fourth son's wife feeling better?"

Pei Shuyu pouted and said, "It's a bit difficult to walk, but my complexion is fine, it's just..."

"Just what?"
