The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Song Guanzhou was not at all curious about what was happening in Zhengxian Pavilion.

She felt even more relieved because Aunt Fang did not become the concubine who died like in the original novel. She read the storybook for a while and fell asleep. Without waiting for Rendong to say anything, she called Lianhua Hehua, washed up, got on the bed, rolled up the quilt and fell asleep.

Honeysuckle advised, "Young Madam, the Fourth Young Master said he would come later."

Song Guanzhou, who could hardly open his eyes, turned over and faced Rendong, "I'm really sleepy, don't disturb me, chase him away if he comes." After saying that, he covered his head with the quilt and fell into a sleep ball.

Sometimes, Honeysuckle just felt that the young lady was very childish.

She could only lower the curtains and cut the candles.

Outside, Lotus was practicing calligraphy, and two younger maids were learning needlework from their sisters-in-law. Now Honeysuckle was taking care of the chores in the courtyard, and she told the girls to learn how to do some embroidery and read a few words. "The young lady said, don't let someone trick you into signing a contract to sell yourself without you even realizing it."

Now, what they signed at the mansion was a long-term contract, which was tantamount to a death contract.

But since the young lady was willing to teach them, they were naturally grateful.

It was still early, and several people gathered under the candlelight, looking harmonious. Pei An brought A Lu into the courtyard, and Ren Dong heard the sound, and Zhuang Gu went out to greet them. Then everyone put away their needles, thread, paper and pens, and greeted Pei An together before dispersing.

Only honeysuckle and lotus were left.

Pei An covered his mouth and waved his hand to dispel the smell of alcohol from his lips.

"Is Guanzhou asleep?"

Honeysuckle said, "I didn't sleep enough during the day, and couldn't hold out at night. I had to go to bed before the Fourth Young Master came."

Pei An changed into his official uniform outside the screen, put on a long robe, loosened his belt, and after washing up, he walked lazily into the inner room.

Honeysuckle followed in with a candle. Pei An asked for some hot tea before he opened the curtains and sat on the edge of the bed. In the dim candlelight, he carefully observed Song Guanzhou, who was sleeping soundly. On the way back, Aru told him what happened today. Pei An asked in a low voice, "She didn't ask more questions?"

It was unexpected that he would disobey his mother's call, but it was quite capable that he restrained himself from asking questions.

Alu shook his head. "Because the maidservant serving the Crown Prince's wife couldn't come over for a while, the young lady didn't open the boxes to check the books today. Instead, she chatted and laughed with Rendong and the others, looking very happy."

She didn't ask about the bloody situation in Zhengxian Pavilion.

After the shift, Alu was already waiting at the door. He said that something happened at home. He was afraid that Song Guanzhou would cause trouble, so he even rejected Qin Qingdong's invitation.

This made Qin Qingdong laugh uncontrollably, "Are you interested in the Song family now?"

"We are husband and wife after all, and my father also wants me to have a child."

Qin Qingdong, who was leaning lazily on the side of the horse, punched him, "You hated her so much yesterday, and now you can't bear to talk to her?" With Pei An's ability, he probably couldn't be affectionate with her even if he turned out the candles.

Unexpectedly, these words made Pei An hesitate, but Qin Qingdong didn't notice that his ears turned red.

"That's true. After all, you are husband and wife. If you can't give birth to a legitimate son, you can't take in a concubine." Qin Erlang was well aware of the ability of Duke Pei Jian. Moreover, Pei An hated the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children because of Pei Che's incident, and was disgusted by the life-and-death struggle between his wives and concubines in his family.

Pei An coughed and said, "Guan Zhou is much more sensible now."

puff!

Qin Qingdong laughed, "Ha, you are obsessed with her face again!"

Man, who doesn’t know who?

Speaking of Song's advantages, there is only one, her unparalleled beauty.

"Forget it. If you can't come, I'll also turn Fuyun down. Her birthday is in a few days, why not get together?"

Pei An nodded, "You can find out privately what she likes. If you can't go, I'll save up some gifts and send them to her." Qin Qingdong snorted, "Why, you haven't seen her for three or five years, and you don't even remember what Fuyun likes?!"

"Just ask."

Qin Qingdong frowned and looked coldly, "I see you have forgotten everything after marrying a wife."

After saying that, he ignored Pei An and rode away. A Lu then moved forward and whispered about the things in the mansion. Pei An looked back coldly, "Isn't there something wrong with the young lady?"

Alu shook his head quickly.

"No, it was the old lady... who had a quarrel with the master, and it was about Aunt Fang."

To make a long story short, Pei An paused, "Where's my second brother?"

"When I arrived here, the prince and his wife were probably still kneeling in Zhengxian Pavilion." It must have been two or three hours. Pei An asked, "Father refuses to give in?"

A'lu led the horse and sighed, "I had intended to make a big deal out of a small matter, but the Crown Prince's wife accused Aunt Fang of wasting a lot of money on a daily basis. She was the one who had the most quality lamp oil in the mansion. But Jinzhu, who was with Aunt Fang, knelt down in front of the master and cried out to the sky that Aunt Fang worked day and night just to copy scriptures for the old lady, often copying dozens of volumes a month. Without some lamp oil, how could she finish copying——"

Pei An sneered, "Mother eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures every day, and even asks others to copy scriptures. How much grace does Saint An have to bless the Pei family!"

Since it concerned the old lady, Aru didn't dare to say much.

Pei An jumped on his horse, and rode home with Alu one in front and one behind.

As soon as he entered the door, Pei Hai was waiting by the hitching post, "Fourth Master, please go to Zhengxian Pavilion."

Pei An asked Alu to deliver a letter to Shaohuayuan before he and Pei Hai went to Zhengxian Pavilion. Along the way, Pei Hai explained the situation, "Aunt Fang's life is fine, but I feel sad about such a thing." Pei An did not comment after listening. When he stepped into Zhengxian Pavilion, Pei Chen and his wife had already stood up and stood beside Pei Jian, and were severely reprimanded.

As for my mother, Mrs. Xiao, she had disappeared long ago.

Pei Jian saw Pei An coming in and waved him over, "Do you know everything?"

Pei An quickly bowed and replied, "Alu and Uncle Hai said something, and I probably understand."

"Your mother's Buddhist practice is not pure, and her mind is crooked. Tomorrow, Chen'er will pack his luggage and ask your uncle to come over. If she doesn't want to be the old lady, I will sacrifice my old face and the Pei family's reputation to send my wife home."

what?

Pei Chen quickly lifted his robe and knelt down, "Father, you must not do that. Mother is old and confused, but there is nothing wrong with respecting parents-in-law and raising children."

Xiao Shi was also so scared that she burst into tears. She knelt down with her husband and said, "Uncle, please forgive me."

Only Pei An remained silent.

Pei Jian looked at Pei Chen and his wife with disappointment. When he saw Pei An, his heart came back to life. "An'er, what do you think?"

"Father, please allow me to report that what mother did was extremely inappropriate. Concubines should not be harsh on servants. They should be punished. But mother is already over fifty years old. The uncles in the Xiao family are kind-hearted. It is not easy to educate my cousins ​​and nieces, so it is fine to send them back home."

At this moment, Xiao's sharp voice came over, "You ungrateful bastard, I gave birth to you in vain."

Pei An turned around and saw his mother being supported by two old maids.

He sighed and said helplessly, "It's not just this time that mother has tortured and killed people in the mansion. I was born and raised by you, so you naturally know everything."
