The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

It’s not that Pei Jian didn’t steal from Baishun Restaurant. He waited outside for a whole day but didn’t dare to go forward and disturb them.

But Pei Che lived in seclusion, the old master didn't go in, and the third master didn't come out. Lin Shan wanted to find a reason to let the third master show up so that the old master could have a look from afar.

"No!"

Pei Hai stopped Lin Shan and said, "The Third Young Master is very perceptive. If he knew, I'm afraid he would never come to the capital again." Pei Jian heard this, and the light of expectation in his eyes dimmed. "Da Hai is right."

I haven't seen him in one day.

Pei An, after receiving the news that Pei Che had returned, went to Baishun Restaurant early the next morning. He was much better off than his father and met the lame Zheng Bao.

"Fourth Young Master..."

"Where's the third brother? Is he up? I'll go see him."

Zheng Bao was in a dilemma. Alu nudged him and said, "The Fourth Young Master is different from others. He has been worried about you and your servant. He wanted to come out last night, but the city gate was locked and he couldn't make it in time."

"Fourth Master, Third Master has told me not to disobey him. He came here to burn some paper money for Aunt Qin to calm her troubled mind, and to visit him after hearing that Mr. Jiang Qu has returned to the capital."

When Pei An heard that his third brother wanted to see Jiang Qu, he took a step forward with great joy.

"I happen to know where the master lives. You go and tell my third brother. I will take my leave and go with him."

"Fourth Young Master, if you can allow Third Young Master to stay in the capital for a little longer, please don't make things difficult for him." Only Zheng Bao dared to say this, and when Aru saw this and wanted to scold him, Pei An stretched out his hand to stop him.

His face was very ugly, but he forced a smile, "That's fine, Third Brother is open-minded. As long as you are in good health and spirit, I, as your younger brother, will not force you."

From then on, Pei An did not dare to bother Pei Che.

He just asked Linshan to send some gold, silver and other valuables from time to time. It was not until the waiter brought the deed to the house in a quiet area that Pei Che told Zhengbao to pack up and go!

On the same day, Pei Jian could no longer hold back and waited outside Baishun Restaurant for another day.

Zhengbao went inside to report, but Pei Che said nothing. After a long time, he called Zhengbao, locked the door, lit a lamp and recited scriptures.

The sincerity of those outside who were eagerly waiting for him could not cause any ripples in Pei Che's calm heart.

Just before the city gates were locked, the carriage of the Duke's Mansion rushed into the city. Pei Hai looked at the Duke who had failed again and was about to say something, but he stopped talking. Pei Jian, on the other hand, repented and laughed, "I can't blame anyone, it's all my fault."

Pei Hai lowered his eyebrows and eyes, "Master, you have done your best."

"Qin'er died in an unclear manner. An'er, who was only ten years old, knew to go to the two uncles of the Xiao family to ask for an explanation, but I couldn't do anything. Che'er lost half of his arm. I wish I could kill that vicious woman—"

The imperial decree from the palace put out the anger.

If you ask who the current Empress Dowager hates the most, no one knows, but the Xiao family, the Pei family and the current emperor know it clearly.

She hated Xiao Zhanbing.

This woman won the heart of the king's husband and also his favor.

When the late emperor was critically ill and had no time to care about these beautiful women, his son, the second most noble man in the world, who won back all his reputation for her, had an affair with Concubine Xiao.

How not to hate?

She wanted to catch that bitch, so she could just accuse her of a crime and let her go first. What was wrong with that?

But alas! Her son, disregarding all human relations and kinship, stubbornly protected Xiao Zhanbing, the late emperor's favorite concubine who was several years older than him!

So, Xiao Muxue came to her.

She prostrated herself in front of him with the absolute loyalty of the Xiao family and the Zhenguogong Mansion. She remembered what she had said, "There are few people in the world who have failed me, but now there are few left. I ask myself, whether I am worthy of those who follow me, it all depends on what kind of heart you have."

I am loyal to my words.

In the imperial court and the harem, few people knew about the dealings between the Empress Dowager and the Zhenguo Mansion, which the Emperor disliked. At least, every time the ladies of honor entered the palace during the New Year holidays, the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion could go or not.

There is no extra reward.

Nevertheless, the Empress Dowager kept her promise and spared Xiao Muxue's life whenever Pei Jian and the Xiao family were about to kill her.

Also, the future of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.

Pei Jian endured it again and again. Pei Hai had been by his side for decades, so he naturally understood. He comforted him, "Master, forget it. The entanglements in life cannot be explained by the simple words right and wrong. As long as the Third Young Master is fine, Master does not need to worry. Let's take care of ourselves and give the Third Young Master more time."

Hearing this, Pei Jian let out a long sigh.

"Go back home."

Early the next morning, which was also May 30th, Xiao Yinxiu and Qi Yueniang were busy in and out, which led to Pei Jian's long talk with Song Guanzhou in Shaohua Garden.

"Guan Zhou, I'm afraid you also think that your father is a coward."

this--

Song Guanzhou pondered for a moment, and said truthfully, "You are the dignified Duke of the State, fighting on the front line and supporting the Duke's Mansion. As a lady in the boudoir, I can understand any decision you make after careful consideration, but... as my third brother and I who are both from Jianshui House, we can't say that we don't have any ideas."

"...Yes, I know you have been deeply wronged."

Song Guanzhou thought about the torture she had suffered that day, and she finally asked, "Father has no way to deal with Mother?"

“Now, it’s the best way.”

Imprisoned and deprived of the right to see the light of day, she has nothing to do with family happiness.

Song Guanzhou understood, sighed a few times, then smiled and replied, "...Okay." What else can he say?

In life, we always have to sacrifice some insignificant people.

Even though Pei Che was favored by the Duke as a concubine's son, even though his status in the mansion seemed to be rising.

If sacrifice really had to happen, could Pei Che be disabled, could he be beheaded, and could he commemorate them? In the original novel, not even a word was wasted on characters like Pei Che and Song Guanzhou.

The same principle applies to the modern workplace, except that you are sacrificed in the workplace. The worst that can happen is that you can change industries and continue to survive and develop.

What about here?

There are open and covert attacks, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life.

Song Guanzhou stopped talking and chatted with Pei Jian about other topics. Pei Jian felt even more guilty when he saw his lively daughter-in-law in front of him.

"...find a day to kowtow to your father and mother."

Song Guanzhou looked at his legs, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Father, Silang did say it several times, but my body is not strong enough, so I bumped here and there. That's all. I believe my parents in heaven will forgive me and my dissolute brother."

"Still no news from Xinglu?"

"Silang sent people to look for him, but there was no news. He likes to travel around. Well, a man should follow his heart while he is still alive."

"Shou'an only has you two as his children. If he can get married, the Song family will also be established."
