The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

"The daughter of Princess Hong'an has returned to the capital, but has she discussed marriage?"

Pei An heard his father ask this and shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."

"Some time ago, an old friend came to visit and mentioned that he wanted to marry Miss Jin to Erlang of the Qin family."

Pei An was stunned, "I'm afraid not."

"How is it?" Pei Jian looked back, "Back then, you brothers and friends went to study in the border areas, and Princess Hong'an treated you well. If the eldest girl marries the Qin family, it will be worth it."

Pei An thought about it and felt a little uncertain. "To be honest with you, father, Erlang, Third Brother, I and Fuyun have always been good friends, but I have never heard that Fuyun and Erlang have any feelings for each other."

"Is there such a thing?"

Pei An nodded.

"You know Erlang's character. No one in the Qin family can persuade him. Besides, the Eastern Palace will definitely not stand by and watch his future marriage."

"The eldest grandson was born to the Crown Princess, and he is now smart and clever, which is a good thing. However... Your Majesty is in good health, so we need to wait and see in the future."

"Yes, Erlang is not thinking about this now. He usually interacts with Fuyun, but they never show any affection." Pei An was very determined, but Pei Jian laughed, "You, what do you know? How can a lady from a noble family be as frivolous and pretentious as a prostitute in a building? It's not intentional. How can a fool like you see it——"

Pei An, who was disliked by his old father, lowered his head and smiled, "If they are interested, it would be a good thing indeed."

"The He family is declining, it's a pity for Dalang."

He Dalang, Jin Fuyun's fiancé who lost his life, Pei An nodded, "Father is right, He's Erlang and Sanlang are of average talent, and they are still scholars now, so let's see what happens in the future."

"There is absolutely no possibility of marriage between the Jin and He families. The eldest daughter came to the capital to find a good marriage. So the general must have his own considerations."

Pei An pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, father. The eldest girl's family background is first-class. It is unlikely that she can return to the royal family. Now the emperor's several princes have plans. If she is in the capital, there are only a few families. Let's wait and see."

Just Qin Qingdong and Jin Fuyun?

Pei An thought about it carefully, and it seemed that Qin Erlang took better care of Fu Yun and cared about her more than he did. Could it be that - what his father said was right?

When it was getting dark and the lights were on, Pei Jian chased him away, "Go back. Princess Hong'an and the general will take care of the eldest girl's marriage. You have a family now, and Guan Zhou loves you and doesn't like you to get close to other women, so just keep your distance."

Pei An said yes, but knowing that his father had misunderstood, he still added an explanation, "Fuyun and I are just brother and sister."

"Go."

After watching the four sons leave, Pei Hai came to ask for a meeting not long after. He summoned them to the study, and the master and servant began to talk in secret.

"Now that the border is peaceful, His Majesty has wanted to change the defense several times. The general has submitted several letters and refused them openly and secretly. Naturally, the eldest girl cannot enter the royal family."

Pei Hai pondered for a moment and whispered, "The Fourth Young Master is pure and honest, but there is one thing I want to tell you, Master, even though it's not a big deal."

"Say it."

"The maids who served the Fourth Young Master's wife were sent away. Two of the older maids were sent to the matchmaker, and then the eldest young lady sent someone to redeem them. After my subordinates made inquiries, they are now serving the eldest young lady."

Pei Jian's face was calm.

"Master, if you are talking about normal shopping, this time is a bit too coincidental."

"What a coincidence."

Pei Hai continued, "I sent people to chase away the witches before. They lingered for two days before reluctantly leaving the capital. When Madam Xian sold her property, she also pawned two boxes of jewelry, which happened to be private property of the mansion. I looked for them and found a gold inlaid jade with a green radish flower engraved on it."

"What does that mean?"

Pei Hai sighed, "I am not sure either. Young people nowadays know little about it, but the older generation probably still remembers that Princess Ruixiang likes this green radish pattern the most."

Princess Ruixiang was once extremely favored, and this green radish pattern became her private pattern for a time, and others did not dare to offend.

"You mean... how is this fairy related to the girl from the Jin family?"

"I don't know yet. I became suspicious when I saw this when I looked through the pawn shop accounts a few days ago."

"Okay!" Pei Jian's eyes suddenly turned cold and stern. "Go and investigate privately. Don't make any public announcement or make any assumptions before you find out."

"What about the Fourth Young Master...?"

"Don't make it public. He seems to be defending Qin Erlang and Miss Jin in his words. Let's investigate this matter first."

"Yes!"

Pei Hai left Zhengxian Pavilion and went to the small Buddhist temple. The walls of the temple were high and the doors were thick, so ordinary people could not climb over it.

He took a few steps forward, knocked gently on the gate, and whispered, "It's me, open the door."

The two unfamiliar maids inside hurriedly opened the half door. Pei Hai walked in slowly and asked, "Is the old lady resting now?"

Aunt Xing pointed at the lights in the Buddhist hall and said, "It looks like there is none. Taozhi just came out to ask for some things. I asked the little girl to go find Aunt Chu to bring them back."

"What object?"

"Don't worry, butler. They are all made of needle-cut cloth. I think they are used to make shoe uppers."

Pei Hai walked straight over, stood in front of the main entrance of the Buddhist temple, and asked for an audience in a loud voice, "I am Pei Hai, and I want to see the old lady."

Taozhi and Yingzhi were picking the thorns on the old lady's hand. When they heard this, they moved slightly and looked up at the old lady. Xiao's anger, which had already subsided, suddenly surged up from her abdomen, "Pei Hai, you dare to come here!"

Hearing the old lady's powerful voice, Pei Hai calmly pushed the door open and walked in without haste.

"I guess the old lady hasn't rested yet, so I came to visit her."

Entering the inner room, the old lady on the kang bed stared at Pei Hai with bulging eyes, "How dare you! How dare that old wretch Pei Jian!"

Pei Hai bowed, stood up and found a drum stool to sit on. Then he looked at Xiao. In just five or six days, Xiao had completely changed. Before, there were only a few gray hairs among her black hair, but now, her hair was all black and white. It would not be long before her hair was completely white.

What is even more shocking is that the old lady now has a ferocious look on her face and no longer has any kindness at all.

When she cursed Pei Jian hysterically, she was like a demon.

"When the old lady reprimanded the fourth young master's wife, she talked about decency and the reputation of the mansion, but when it came to herself, she forgot all about it."

Xiao sneered, "You are just a horse-leading servant, yet you dare to show off in front of me? Now Pei Jian can no longer run rampant on the frontier, so he just stays in this backyard to torture me! That's all you can do!"

Pei Hai was not angry after hearing this.

"The old lady also remembers that the master was once a general who fought on the battlefield, but she still doesn't take him seriously, nor does she take the whole family seriously."

"That's because he's sorry for me! He doesn't deserve it!"
