The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Xiao Yinxiu was a girl who was carefully raised by her elder brother from her mother's side. She was engaged to the Duke's Mansion when she was seven years old. Her aunt needed a helper in this mansion.

And the mistress of the Pei family can only be from the Xiao family.

Although the girls of the Xiao family could be considered dignified, they were not beautiful. After Xiao Yinxiu gave birth to two sons for the Crown Prince Pei Chen, she could no longer hold her husband's heart.

From then on, the concubines before the prince bloomed like flowers in spring, one more beautiful than the other.

As legitimate sons, except for the eldest brother Pei Jie who died unexpectedly, the remaining Pei An is not interested in women and leads a plain life with Song Guanzhou, his insatiable wife.

The two of them had been living in separate rooms for more than half a year. Pei An would occasionally visit the Manyue Tower, and Song Guanzhou would become impatient.

Including the Lantern Festival, Song Guanzhou has caused trouble in the Full Moon Tower several times.

——She is really ungrateful for what she has been blessed with. If the prince had such determination, she would have burned incense and prayed to the Buddha to thank him long ago.

When Song Guanzhou saw the light of day again, a group of old women in colorful clothes came with messy hair, holding banners, and chanting incomprehensible spells. They dragged her to a stone house in no time.

"What are you going to do?"

Song Guanzhou then realized something was wrong. She resisted screaming, but she was no match for these old women.

Entering the stone house, she saw white candles lit all over the room, as bright as day. A group of old women with bright red lips began to sing and dance around her.

It was too late for Song Guanzhou to react to everything. All her screams and fears were blocked by this airtight prison. It was cold outside for a few days, but the dim sun came out. In this stone house where the day was unknown, Song Guanzhou, who came from a peaceful society that emphasized science and equality between men and women, experienced the true coldness of a feudal society on his second day in this world.

This group of crazy people stripped her down to her underwear, and then they tortured her in various ways.

It turned out that Song Guanzhou, who had grown into a fat man after living in modern society, was completely powerless against this group of ignorant and foolish witches.

All the tortures continued until the lights came on at night. Pei An, who had just returned from a small gathering with his colleagues, was slightly tipsy and walked towards his Yanlai Hall with his servant Alu, but saw the inner gate manager Liu Er guarding his courtyard gate. When he saw him appear, he hurried over.

He pleaded anxiously, "Fourth Young Master, please go and see the Fourth Young Master's wife."

"What happened to her?"

Pei An looked impatient. He thought carefully last night that Song Guanzhou's words and actions had changed drastically, becoming even more rude and outrageous. He was afraid that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, at this moment——

Liu Er bowed and reported in a low voice, "The Immortal Lady came to perform a trance to exorcise the evil spirits of the Fourth Young Master's wife. She has been in the Jianshui room for a day..." He almost fell silent at the end. Pei An's face suddenly changed, "Who called her here? Why didn't you tell me?"

"The Fourth Young Master is on duty, and no one in the mansion dares to disturb him."

How could he, a manager of the second gate, dare to say it? If he had not received the favor of the Fourth Young Master's wife, he would not dare to risk being chased away by the Old Lady and the Crown Prince's wife and come to report the news.

Pei An thought it was not good, and the drunkenness was sobered up. He quickly turned around and walked towards the stream room.

Liu Er followed for a few steps and wanted to retreat.

Pei An saw this and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Er suddenly knelt down and kowtowed several times, "The Fourth Young Master's wife has been very kind to me. Coming to ask for help from the Fourth Young Master is against the rules of the mansion. Please allow me to leave."

Pei An didn't care about anything else at this moment, so he waved his hand to agree with him and asked suddenly, "Do father and second brother know?"

"In reply to the Fourth Young Master, the Duke and the Crown Prince went to the Zhuo family in West City early this morning to celebrate the birthday of his old lady."

That is not knowing!

Pei An ignored him and walked quickly towards the deserted courtyard behind the mountain. Jianshui Room was the private prison in the mansion, but it had been locked for three or four years because of the incident involving the third young master.

After hearing this commotion, Pei An knew that something bad was going to happen.

Xiao Yinxiu was practicing calligraphy and embroidery with her two children and a group of maids, when the prince's attendant came back on horseback and said that the mansion had been locked up earlier, and the Duke and the prince were staying at Zhuo's house. She asked about the safety of the inner and outer courtyards, and then she stayed in the main room and started making lace.

The master and servants in the room were living in harmony, but the sound of footsteps of Han Xiang, the head maid, disturbed them.

She was usually steady, but now she looked worried. Without even having time to report, she opened the door curtain and ran straight to Xiao Yinxiu, whispering to her, "Madam, the fourth young master has gone to the Jianshui room, and Madam Xian is still exorcising the evil spirits..."

When Xiao Yinxiu heard this, he stood up in shock.

"How did the fourth brother know that Song Guanzhou was in Jianshuifang?"

This matter was carried out quietly, and the only people who knew about it were a few close people. From the small ancestral hall to the stream house, no one was aware of it.

Han Xiang shook her head, "I don't know, but Madam Xian said that the evil spirits will be driven out of the Fourth Young Master's wife's body only after the exorcism until dawn. I'm afraid that it will be delayed if the Fourth Young Master goes."

Xiao Yinxiu glared at Han Xiang angrily, scaring her into silence.

"Come on, come with me and take a look."

Hanxiang immediately brought out a rolled white fox fur quilt and asked two maids to light lanterns, one in front and one behind to guide Xiao Yinxiu out of the door. The master and servant hurried to the Jianshui room. Just as they reached the door, they heard the maid inside screaming in pain. Xiao Yinxiu's heart sank, and before he could react, Pei An, who was wearing an inner garment, came out holding Song Guanzhou, who was covering his outer robe.

Xiao Yinxiu subconsciously took a half step back and forced a smile, "Fourth brother, the exorcism ceremony is not over yet, I'm afraid it's not easy to carry your wife back."

Pei An looked at her coldly, "Second sister-in-law, was this your idea or mother's?"

Xiao Yinxiu was stunned, and then laughed after a moment, "It wasn't anyone's idea, it was really that Fourth Sister-in-law was possessed by an evil spirit. She has been crying all morning, which is completely different from the past. The Lantern Festival is crowded with people, and some unclean things have mixed in. Fourth Sister-in-law must have a weak body and the evil spirit has entered her body."

As soon as the voice fell, the fairy lady in her forties or fifties came out, holding her waist and said, "Fourth Master, you must not do this. I'm afraid that what you are holding is an evil ghost."

Evil ghost?

Pei An laughed at himself, "Isn't it enough that my third brother has become an evil ghost in this mansion? Now the wife I married with three matchmakers and six betrothals has also become an evil ghost. I'm afraid that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, my second brother and his wife in this mansion will all become evil ghosts."

"Fourth brother, you——"

Pei An looked at Xiao Yinxiu, "A noble mansion set up a private torture chamber and tortured a weak inner house woman without authorization. It seems that the girls of the Xiao family are very courageous."

"Fourth brother misunderstood."

Xiao Yinxiu could hardly laugh. "There is no such thing as lynching. I just need to exorcise the evil spirit. If I hurt my fourth brother's wife, I will definitely apologize in person."

Pei An's words were so harsh that I'm afraid that except for Xiao Yinxiu, her aunt, Pei An's mother Xiao, could understand them. She still remembered that when she first entered the family, Pei An was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He had called her cousin since childhood, so they were considered close.

Unexpectedly, after the accident of Pei Che, whom no one in the mansion dared to mention now, Pei An passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. Except for the appearance that they were okay, the former cousins, now uncle and sister-in-law, had become very estranged.

Pei An ignored Xiao Yinxiu's words. He hugged the woman who was still shivering in his arms and hurried back to the room.

Halfway through, Song Guanzhou gradually regained consciousness. She tightly grasped Pei An's collar and said in a trembling voice, "Pei An, they want to exorcise the evil spirits. They said they have to pull out my tendons and bones to drive out the ghosts and monsters in my body. I was very scared. Crying and begging were useless. They stuffed a cloth ball in my mouth and pulled out one fingernail every half hour. Ten drops of blood came out of my heart. For every one she pulled out, I shed a drop of blood. When they pulled out the tenth fingernail, I thought that when all the ten drops of blood were drained out, I would be free."

Her voice was cold and filled with despair in this moonlit night.

Pei An could only coax her, "It's okay, it will grow back later."

Song Guanzhou chuckled and said sarcastically, "The tenth piece was not plucked yet, and you walked in, Pei An, what did Song Guanzhou do wrong to be tortured like this? She just loves you and wants to have you all to herself, to be with you under the moonlight, close to you, is there anything wrong with that?"

Pei An responded with a hoarse voice, "There is more to the world than just love."

Song Guanzhou chuckled, "That's right, Pei An, I don't owe you a cent for today's humiliation. On the wedding night, you broke the hairpin that was tangled in my hair to protect it... It foreshadowed that this marriage was not auspicious. Forget it... Pei An... I'll let you go."

"I have let you down today. Don't worry, I will give you justice."

justice?

A lady, not even a slave who was beaten and scolded at will and sold, is being abused both physically and mentally like a dead pig in this mansion. What justice can she expect?

After struggling to say these words, Song Guanzhou felt that it was not enough. He stretched out his bloodstained hands and raised them in front of Pei An. "From now on, these hands can no longer play the piano, paint, or do needlework. Fortunately? Unfortunately...?"
