The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

why?

She locked herself in her room, acting in a state of impotent madness. After smashing everything and feeling utterly exhausted, she felt that fate shouldn't have played such a cruel trick on her.

When asked by Mrs. Jiang, she could only remain silent.

Madam Jiang stayed by her side for half a day, watching the maid serve her some food and medicine before she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but ask a few more questions, "Sister, do you have any thoughts about this marriage?"

Jin Fuyun lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Madam Jiang cautiously pressed further, "Is there something wrong with that Prince Yong?"

Putting down her spoon, Jin Fuyun gathered a handful of her long hair that had fallen to her chest. “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I’ve misunderstood. I never thought of joining the royal family before. Now that the Empress Dowager has made the decision, I can’t quite accept it.”

"So, have you figured it out now? My dear sister, I'm foolish. The most important person I've ever met is our mother. I thought there would be more rules than in an ordinary house, but you are so clever and quick-witted. You'll be able to handle it all in no time."

Jin Fuyun nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll remember your teachings, sister-in-law."

After offering a few perfunctory words, Jin Fuyun reassured Jiang Shi and allowed her to leave. Once everyone around Jiang Shi had left, Jin Fuyun turned around and overturned the kang table.

The soup and liquid spilled all over the bed and the floor.

Panxi and Panlan, along with their maids, immediately knelt before them, their heads bowed and eyes lowered, not daring to speak.

"Panxi and Panlan stay, everyone else... get out!"

The maids and servants quickly and quietly packed up their things, bowed, and left, closing the door behind them. Panxi and Panlan knelt before them, not daring to raise their heads or even breathe.

"Has anything happened at your residence these past two days?"

Panxi shook her head, while Panlan pondered for a moment before saying, "Nothing major has happened, but as for minor matters... Old Madam Huang sent someone to deliver an invitation, inviting the young mistress and young lady to a banquet on June 6th."

The Huang family!

That damned Huang family!

If it weren't for the old lady's words, how could this marriage have been arranged? No matter how capable He Jiang is, he can't compare to a single hair on Pei An's head. Her heart and soul are only for Si Lang!

She had waited for her beloved Silang for three lifetimes!

Thinking of this, her eyes welled up with tears. "What kind of banquet is it?"

"Grandma Huang said that in their hometown, on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, they would invite their close daughters and aunts back to their home for a small banquet for the girls, which was quite pleasant."

This custom exists in the Jiuxian and Jiangzhou areas.

Jin Fuyun lowered her eyes. "What connection do I have with the Huang family? Why did they come all the way to invite me? Who would care?"

Neither Panxi nor Panlan dared to agree with such remarks.

Instead, he went along with her, saying, "If you don't want to go, you can just find an excuse to refuse. It's not worth making you angry, lest you hurt yourself."

"Pretext? What pretext? Do you think I'm like the Song family you used to serve, someone who can make decisions for me even if I'm just sitting around at home!"

"I dare not! How could I, a former servant, compare to you, young lady..."

The two men tried to curry favor with her, but Jin Fuyun wouldn't listen. "Is it that I can't compare to her? Are you four young masters bewitched? All you do all day is fawn over her!"

She was furious, and her whole body went dark and lifeless.

Two maids tried to persuade her to do her hair and makeup, but she scolded them away. Sitting alone in the room, she couldn't help but weep, heartbroken.

Evening finally arrived, and Madam Jiang brought her eldest maid, Rui'er, over to have dinner with her. She then personally arranged for Panxi and Panlan to help her with her grooming.

Seeing the woman's reflection brighten in the mirror, Jiang leaned over her shoulder and looked into the bronze mirror with her.

“What a wonderful girl, how can you not understand? To be honest, I know to some extent that you are unwilling to accept this. No matter how good Prince Yong is, he still has a concubine. But I have also thought that if she does not win Prince Yong’s favor after entering the manor, you can take pity on her and send her away.”

Jiang was talking about managing the household and keeping order, but Jin Fuyun was least interested in the affairs of the Yongjun Prince's Mansion.

"Does my sister-in-law really believe that such a wonderful man is eagerly waiting for me to marry him?"

"Ouch!"

Seeing that she had finally spoken, Madam Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. "Why do you look down on yourself like that, sister? In my opinion, he is lucky to have come to you. You are talented, beautiful, brave, and resourceful. Anyone who cares can find out more about you and know your abilities. Which family wouldn't want to marry you? It's just that that short-lived He Dalang ruined you."

Jin Fuyun sighed, "What does it have to do with him, a deceased person? It's just that he's heartless and doesn't care about me anymore. I originally thought I would take care of my mother until she was old, but my mother couldn't let go of her worries. When she came to the capital, she thought she was just going to celebrate the emperor's birthday, but she never expected that she would be involved in a marriage."

General Jin and the princess were both satisfied.

The Jin family was also satisfied. A few days ago, Jin Si came to the mansion with her mother, flattering her openly and secretly that she had received such a good thing.

She was filled with grievances and sorrow, but had no one to confide in.

Who would have thought that Qin Qingdong would come running around like a madman in the middle of the day? Thinking of this, she felt a surge of hatred. She wanted to find out more information, but there was no one capable in the palace.

In early June, the weather became even hotter.

The endless chirping of cicadas made her increasingly anxious.

She thought to herself that this couldn't be the case, so she had Panlan go to Manyuelou to book a day first. Panlan went late, and all the good days were already booked. The only day available was the fifth day of the sixth lunar month. She took it upon herself to give Zhu Baoyue a deposit. After reporting back, Jin Fuyun became even more agitated.

"When will the Huang family's small banquet take place?"

"Miss, it's the sixth day of the sixth month, which is the day after tomorrow."

"it is good."

She went to the desk, used the orchid and bamboo paper that had been sent at the beginning of the year to make a note, and then asked Panxi and Panlan to seal it. "You two should deliver it to Ji Zhang personally."

"...Young lady, are you only inviting the Fourth Young Master?"

Jin Fuyun snorted, "Qin Er can still accept my invitation? Certainly not!" But thinking of this, she felt that having another one wasn't out of the question.

Panlan and Panxi went to two different places, each with a maidservant. They also ordered carriages and horses, but when they got into the carriages, they both sighed.

"What if you two gentlemen don't accept this invitation?"

Pan happy sighed, "It shouldn't be."

As usual, it would be cheap to send it to the gatekeeper, but now the young lady has instructed that it must be handed over to the two of them. How can it not be difficult?

They had no choice but to bite the bullet and send Panxi to the official residence and Panlan to the Qin family.

After an incense stick had burned, the carriage arrived at the official residence. As soon as Panxi stepped down, she unexpectedly ran into Aru. She gracefully bowed and greeted him, but Aru was not very polite. "What are you doing here? Are you coming with me, young lady?"

But then the carriage turned around and headed towards the Qin family's residence.

Overjoyed to have met Aru, she knew that seeing the Fourth Young Master soon wouldn't be difficult. "Our young lady sent me to deliver a letter to the Fourth Young Master."

"What kind of post? Why is it being delivered here?"

Once it's delivered to the gate of the government office, the staff there will take it inside. Why go through all this trouble?
