The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

One sentence caused a huge uproar!

Xiao Yinxiu couldn't sit still either, and stood up to ask, "Someone has died! The Song family's life—" Before she could finish the word "worrying," Xu Lingqiao couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

Zhang Fanghui quickly helped Xu Lingqiao up, "Don't worry!"

That's what they said, but everyone was still worried. With the thief dead, Song Guanzhou was definitely in grave danger!

Qingfang and Lianhua pouted, and Xu Lingqiao also started wiping away tears. Pei Qiuyu snorted and gave each of them a whack, "Why are you crying for no reason? We're still looking for them, and we haven't heard from them yet. Are you making a scene at a funeral?!"

The two maids were beaten until they dared not shed another tear. Xu Lingqiao ignored them. Pei Qiuyu's words were clearly meant for Xu Lingqiao.

She was extremely pleased with herself. She had disliked Song Shi for a long time, and now her cousin, who was so different from Song Shi, looked like a twin. She found it irritating.

Pei Chen turned around and angrily scolded Pei Qiuyu, "Shut up! What are you all doing causing trouble?" Then he looked at Xu Lingqiao, who was sobbing softly on Zhang Fanghui's shoulder, "Cousin Xu, don't worry. Guanzhou is bold and careful, and Linshan is with him. Linshan is very capable, so he should be fine."

Qi Yueniang stepped forward and gently patted Xu Lingqiao's weak and trembling back, "Don't worry, Lingqiao, it's alright."

Are you alright?

If there was nothing wrong, why would Pei An rush up the mountain in his official robes? If there was nothing wrong, he should be at the mountain by now with Song Guanzhou, meeting up with everyone…

Unfortunately, there was no trace of them.

Little did anyone know, Lin Shan, hidden in the rockery cave, coughed up blood. He hadn't expected the thief to return, blindfolded. Truly a desperate criminal, ruthless and vicious.

Another flying knife came flying, but Song Guanzhou, who had just landed, pulled him back; otherwise, it would have hit him squarely in the chest and he would have been dead long ago.

But it also damaged his very foundation. Just as he was about to be forced close, he heard Pei An's voice coming from not far away.

"Watch the boats! Watch the boats!"

Song Guanzhou's eyes suddenly lit up, and she answered loudly, "Si Lang, we're here!"

The man who was about to force his way to kill her stopped in his tracks. Song Guanzhou suddenly turned to Lin Shan and asked, "Is this Yu Cheng?"

Honeysuckle, who had fainted beside him, remained motionless.

Lin Shan coughed up several mouthfuls of blood before slowly nodding, "Although he didn't remove the veil, it must be him! I just didn't expect him to be so capable—"

Upon hearing this, Song Guanzhou looked at Yu Cheng, who was hesitating, and suddenly shouted, "Fourth Brother, be careful of Yu Cheng, he has a crossbow!"

One sentence exposed Yu Cheng's do-or-die mentality.

Pei An's voice grew clearer, his hurried footsteps revealed his urgency, and he was accompanied by a number of followers.

"Guanzhou, I'm coming right away, hang in there!"

It's Pei An!

Upon seeing this, Yu Cheng turned around, covered his bloodied eyes, and quickly fled.

He knew he couldn't kill Pei An, otherwise the Jin family would be in deep trouble, but he never expected that killing Song Guanzhou, who was powerless, would be so difficult.

He almost risked his life to lure Lin Shan away.

But Lin Shan, wielding only a short knife, managed to withstand the powerful crossbow fire and even lost an eye.

Thinking that it would be better to exchange it for Song's worthless life than to gain nothing, the long-awaited ape whistle distracted him, and he felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, when they found the dilapidated courtyard, the three Bing and four Ding had died tragically, their bodies still warm, and both of them died with their eyes wide open!

Touching Sanbing's neck, the wound was clearly visible, undoubtedly caused by a sharp, hard object. Where did it come from?

Needless to say, Yu Cheng immediately thought of the hairpins and hair ornaments on Song Guanzhou's head.

This woman—

They actually have the guts!

The robust woman, dragging her sprained ankle, called for the young monk to report. Seeing her flustered state, the young monk retorted, "Nonsense! This is a royal temple! What thief could there be? Whose servant are you, spouting such nonsense—"

"Go quickly and report this to the heir of the Duke's mansion!"

Ignoring everything else, Zhuang Gu pulled out a silver hairpin and handed it to the young monk, saying, "Little monk, hurry and tell them that my young mistress has disappeared, was shot by thieves with a crossbow, and her maid has been kidnapped!"

Having received the money, the young monk reluctantly went.

He kept turning back to look at her, insisting that Zhuang Gu had tricked him...

The main hall was completely surrounded by the servants of the Duke's mansion. Xiao Bei and the two illegitimate sons of the Pei family were anxiously guarding the courtyard. He paced back and forth, his brows furrowed.

Before long, the servants at the gate caught a flustered young monk.

Thinking she was a villain, they simply grabbed the monk's robe by the collar and dragged him in. Upon seeing this, the young monk immediately began to wail and cry, "I knew that stupid woman was lying to me, saying she was going to deliver a message. Before the message was even delivered, I was going to die!"

"Report a message?"

Xiao Bei stepped forward, ordered the servants to release the little monk, and pressed him for details, "What message did you bring?"

Hearing this, Xu Lingqiao's eyes reddened as she quickly walked over. Zhang Fanghui and Qi Yueniang couldn't stop her, so they simply went down the steps and followed her.

"A maidservant sprained her ankle and asked me to deliver a message to the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, saying that her fourth young mistress was being chased by thieves, her maidservant had been kidnapped, and her fate was unknown. She needed to go and rescue her immediately!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Lingqiao suddenly went limp.

Mrs. Mei suddenly stood up, feeling dizzy, but fortunately, Madam Gu was there to support her. "Mother, Mother—"

Just then, Pei Hua returned. Before she could speak, Xiao Bei relayed the story of the little monk: "Then I'll go find the maidservant who serves Fourth Brother's wife first. Fourth Brother went far away, and we couldn't find him. But since someone died, the abbot and several masters have ordered the temple entrances and exits to be sealed. If the thief is still alive, he certainly won't be able to escape."

Xiao Yinxiu's expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant.

Who did Madam Song offend? Why is everyone else in the manor so peaceful, but she's always causing trouble? She was both angry and worried, fearing that the thief might come to the palace and harm the people in the manor.

Before long, Qin Qingdong brought in two bald monks, carrying the unconscious Hehua on a makeshift stretcher. "Did you bring the physician today?"

Xiao Bei had a bad feeling when he saw the person lying motionless.

Xiao Yinxiu patiently stepped forward. "Second Brother, Doctor Zhao didn't come with us, so we can only check on the monks and doctors at the temple. But... is Lotus still alive?"

It has some gas, but not much.

Her face was swollen and red, and her arm had been broken by Yu Cheng.

The idea was that the screams would attract Song Guanzhou or Lin Shan, but neither of them fell for it...

But after the crossbow bolt was fired, it came chasing after them from the mountainside. Yu Cheng was exhausted and couldn't keep up, so he kicked her down the slope, where she fell unconscious.

After waking up, he called out a few times, which alerted Qin Er and the others who were searching along the path.

Xu Lingqiao stepped forward and grabbed Hehua, calling her name several times. Lianhua and Qingfang rushed over to feed her water and rub her hands, which finally made Hehua slowly wake up.

"Quickly, save the young mistress—"

After managing to finish speaking, he slumped to the side and fainted again. At this moment, a monk who knew a little about medicine rushed over. The serious incident that had occurred at Longen Temple today was truly terrifying.

Amidst the chaos, Qin Qingdong, his face stern and aloof, said, "I'd like to see who it is!"
