The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

"Young Madam, you have such a cruel heart."

The whole family fell to the ground crying, but quietly surrounded Song Guanzhou Lianhua.

Song Guanzhou sneered, "My courtyard is inside the second gate. If I remember correctly, your servants are just from the farm in the outer courtyard. Two outsiders and two crazy women sneaked into my gate in the middle of the night. Are you trying to kill people or rob people?"

what?

Pan Xi's father was stunned for a moment, then jumped up again, "The young lady is the master, and we servants naturally listen to the master, but it doesn't make sense for my maid to be sold out for no reason. This will hurt the hearts of us who have followed the master and his wife for many years!"

Avoid the heavy and do the light.

Lotus also ran out at this moment. She was going to look for Pei Hai, but she met Liu Er on the way. She used to work with Liu Er's deceased sister Guihua. She didn't care whether it was appropriate or not. She grabbed Liu Er's sleeve and said breathlessly, "The mother and father of Panxi family came to Shaohua Garden to make a scene. There are only the fourth young lady and Lotus in the courtyard now. They can't resist them."

presumptuous!

Liu Er's face changed. "Didn't Zhang Zhuangtou get sent to the manor? How could he enter the second gate?!"

He Hua stamped her feet, her brows full of panic, "Second Uncle, go and stop them quickly, don't let those rascals hurt the Fourth Young Master's wife, she is covered in wounds, and anything that touches her will kill her."

Liu Er nodded quickly and ran towards a small door.

"Go and tell the Fourth Young Master, I'll call a few maids to help."

After all, it was the backyard for the women, so Liu Er gave instructions to He Hua. It was dark at night, and He Hua ran along the path in the dark towards Pei An's study in the outer courtyard. She couldn't see the road along the way and fell several times.

Liu Er called a few fat old women to Shaohua Garden, but fortunately they just surrounded Song Guanzhou and started crying.

"How dare you, Zhang Zhuangtou, trespass into the master's backyard. Are you trying to save your life?"

Pan Xi's father was wearing a short shirt and crotch pants, and a robe wrapped around his body. When he heard Liu Er coming, he was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Second Steward, we are just here to ask the young lady how to sell my Xi girl's hair--"

At Liu Er's command, several old women pushed away the people from Zhang Zhuangtou's family, and Song Guanzhou and Lianhua were finally able to gain some freedom.

"Madam Fourth Young Master, are you scared?"

Song Guanzhou shook his head slowly and looked at Liu Er, "You are——"

Liu Er bowed and replied, "I was in charge of the carriages and horses in the outer courtyard. The girl Hehua just met me at the second gate and said that there were thieves disturbing the young lady, so I rushed over with a few maids."

"Where's Uncle Hai?"

Song Guanzhou dug out from his memory the head steward of the Duke's Mansion, Pei Hai.

"I have sent someone to call Steward Hai."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Hai came in with three or five guards. When Pan Xi's mother saw him, she knelt down and cried, "Butler Hai, you also raised Pan Xi. How can you sell her off——"

Pei Hai kicked the fat woman to the side with his left foot.

Then she came to Song Guanzhou, moved out a cross-fold wooden chair, and asked Song Guanzhou to sit down.

"Is the young lady frightened?"

Song Guanzhou looked at Pei Hai with his bright almond-shaped eyes, "Uncle Hai, are these people from the mansion?"

"Yes, they are the mother, father, brother and sister-in-law of Panxi, the former maid who served the young lady." Pei Hai bowed and replied.

"Working in the outer courtyard?"

"Replying to Madam, except for Zhang Zhuangtou who is with his son at the farm, Pan Xiniang and sister-in-law are working in the kitchen outside."

Song Guanzhou looked at the four people kneeling down behind him and said, "Let's sell this family off."

what?

This turn of events not only caught Pei Hai off guard, but also stunned Liu Er and his men. Pan Xi's family was even more shocked. Just as they were about to cry and protest, Pei Hai clasped his fists and said, "Fourth Young Master's Madam, the mansion has its own rules. This family broke into the inner courtyard today and violated the rules. Naturally, they will not escape severe punishment. We will just sell them off—"

He stopped talking here.

Song Guanzhou didn't take it seriously. He just looked at Pan Xi's mother and sister-in-law who were crying. "I can't even sell you, how can I sell others? You are looking for revenge, but you are looking for the wrong person. My place is deserted, but you can sneak in and make a scene in the dark. I really don't know how many people in this house and outside indulge you."

With navigation, it is possible to locate the target so accurately in the dark.

When Pei Hai heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Then he turned around and looked at Zhang Zhuangtou with a sharp look, "Who let you in?"

Old Zhang shrank his neck and said, "The girl has no whereabouts, so we came in from the hanging flower gate of the orchid garden in the west."

"You have been in the mansion for so many years, don't you know that entering the backyard without reason is a serious crime?"

Seeing that Pei Hai was about to interrogate them in Shaohua Garden, Song Guanzhou interrupted and said, "Uncle Hai, please have someone take them away first to discuss the matter of accountability." No matter how stupid she was, or how out of tune with this world she was, she could still see that someone was deliberately instigating this family to cause trouble.

Accountability, accountability, no matter how many questions are asked, it's either her kind-hearted mother-in-law who is devoted to Buddhism, or the smiling but dagger-in-handed Crown Prince's wife. Who dares to really take the responsibility?

Thinking of this, she looked annoyed and let Lianhua help her in. She didn't want to watch this farce even for another second.

Pei Hai was also a quick man, and he took several people away in a short time.

He Hua came back wiping her tears and happened to meet Liu Er who had retreated. She quickly wiped her tears and asked worriedly, "Second Uncle, why did you come back?"

"It's okay. Butler Pei has taken the troublemaker away. You can go back soon."

Shaohua Garden had now sold off a large number of maids and servants, leaving the garden empty. Seeing that Song Guanzhou was unable to walk, he must have suffered a lot in Jianshui House. Seeing that Hehua was alone, she couldn't help but ask, "Where is the fourth young master?"

When the Fourth Young Master was mentioned, Lotus' tears softened.

"The Fourth Young Master asked Alu, who was standing beside him, to go find Butler Pei. He had an argument with the Fourth Young Master's wife during dinner—"

Liu Er knew what was said next, needless to say.

He sighed, "Now that you are in front of the Fourth Young Master's wife, talk less and do more. The Fourth Young Master's wife is kind-hearted, so don't take to heart what others say about her. Just listen to her." He could never repay the kindness Song Guanzhou had shown him even by working like a slave.

But he is of low status and his words have little influence, so he can’t help the Fourth Young Master’s wife in any way.

After entrusting Hehua with these words, he returned to his room in the dark. Hehua nodded and continued walking towards Shaohua Garden.

After entering the room, she wanted to report to Song Guanzhou, but Lianhua made a gesture to keep quiet. She looked over and saw that Song Guanzhou had already settled on the bed and was reading a book in the dim candlelight.

Lianhua quietly pulled Hehua into the side room and saw that there was no one around her. "The fourth young master is not here?"

Lotus shook her head.

"The Fourth Young Master asked A-Lu to go find Butler Pei."

Lianhua was a little bit unbelievable, "Didn't you inform the Fourth Young Master about the situation? It's such an important matter, and he——"

Lotus was a little sad, and lowered her head. "When the Fourth Young Master heard me finish, he just said that the Fourth Young Master's wife was just fooling around and telling all kinds of lies. But when I cried and told him that someone had indeed broken into the courtyard and surrounded the Fourth Young Master's wife, he only half believed it."

Lotus still felt aggrieved when talking about that cold attitude.

"Sister Lianhua, I'm scared about this. When you and I were doing odd jobs outside the second gate in the past, we couldn't just enter the inner courtyard whenever we wanted. Mother Panxi and her parents came in so powerfully. There must be someone who ordered them to do so." The person they were targeting must be the Fourth Young Master's wife.

Lotus is one year older than Lotus and is more sensible.

She looked towards the inner room and sighed, "Let's serve you wholeheartedly. At least the Fourth Young Master's wife has never made things difficult for us."

Lotus nodded repeatedly.

"My second uncle also said the same thing on the way here. He said that the fourth young master's wife has a good heart and we will not go wrong if we follow her."

At least the two little ones also understood that if the Fourth Young Master really disliked and resented the Fourth Young Master's wife, this courtyard might not be so peaceful in the future.

A'lu came to look for Pei Hai, but found nothing. He grabbed the servant next to him and asked, "Uncle Hai, where is the woodshed?"

"Who is causing trouble?"

A'lu had been serving Pei'an for many years, and the servant did not dare to slack off. He just scratched his head and said, "It is said that Sister Panxi's parents broke into Shaohua Garden and chased the fourth young master's wife to ask for an explanation."

So bold?!

"That's right. Uncle Hai and a few guards are interrogating him in the woodshed now."

After hearing this, Alu walked away.

The so-called firewood room is just a name. All the firewood in the mansion is stored here. There is a small courtyard.

When he went in, the torches inside were burning with crackling sounds, making it as bright as day. The leaders of Zhang Village knelt in front of him, now they were afraid and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Pei Hai's face turned pale, "Who instructed you to be so bold?"

Zhang Zhuangtou looked at the old woman and didn't dare to say anything. He just kept begging for mercy.

Pei Hai was furious. "Pan Xi is a family child. I wanted you to come and take her back, but you dragged your feet and didn't take it seriously. Now that I've kicked her out, you're making trouble again!"

Zhang Zhuangtou wailed, "I thought it was just the master who was angry and there was nothing to worry about. But when I rushed over, the old woman told me that Panxi had been sold out." She used to be loved by the master of the mansion, but later she made a mistake and was banished to the farm. From then on, except for Panxi who could serve the fourth young master's wife, no one in the family could have a say.

Alu found out the situation and went back to report to Pei An.

Pei An was stunned. "Are the guards in the inner courtyard so lax now?"

Alu sighed, "Uncle Hai is still questioning this matter, and it will take some time to get to the bottom of it. I thought of coming back to report to you first. Now the young lady's place in Shaohua Garden is indeed short of staff, and it looks a bit deserted." After saying that, he looked at Pei An who was standing still.

"If we rest for a few days, won't someone from Madam Xu's place come over?"

Alu thought for a while and said, "There are still three to five days left. In these few days, why don't you go back to Shaohua Garden, Fourth Young Master?"

There is no overnight grudge between husband and wife!

Pei An glared and snorted, "If you mention this again, I'll kick you out."
