The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 6

The woman in the dark green robe came out to greet him, "My Lord, the young mistress just woke up, and she doesn't have a high fever anymore."

"Thank you, Miss Sun."

Pan Xi timidly lifted the curtain, not daring to look at Pei An any longer. For the past two days, all the maids had been kneeling outside the small ancestral hall, and were not allowed to return to their rooms until last night. They were so frozen.

Early in the morning, Pan Xi and Pan Lan did not dare to be lazy and hurried to the main room to guard. However, Miss Sun and the court doctor received instructions from Pei An and ordered the two maids who were called in from the outer gate to do everything.

Even though he was clumsy, Pei An felt more at ease.

The girls all had sad faces and asked Panxi and Panlan privately, worried that Pei An was going to kick them out. Panxi and Panlan were also worried, but they said stubbornly, "I'm afraid the Fourth Young Master's wife made a mistake. As people close to her, we naturally have to ask for clarification. You just wait patiently. After the Fourth Young Master has verified the matter, he will naturally return our job."

Having said that, the two girls were also nervous.

Now watching Pei An quietly stepping into Shaohua Garden again, the two of them were pondering many possibilities.

But no one expected that Song Guanzhou closed his eyes when Pei An walked in.

Pei An happened to see this scene. He sighed slightly. He thought that every word Song Guanzhou said in his arms that night was a statement of breakup from extreme sadness. But now, seeing Song Guanzhou's face full of sorrow but not wanting to look him in the face, he began to be unsure.

The maidservant brought a huanghuali drum stool carved with a qilin, and Pei An lifted up the corner of his clothes and sat down elegantly.

Despite all this, Song Guanzhou remained unmoved.

Pei An thought for a moment and asked, "Do your hands and feet still hurt? Have you applied medicine to the wounds on your body?"

This is considered as actively putting up a ladder. If it were the former cannon fodder, the original wife would definitely be overjoyed and shed tears, saying "husband", it is very painful. A few warm words between the two people may also improve their previously frozen relationship.

But today's cannon fodder Song Guanzhou has changed his mind.

Her mind is filled with many helpless thoughts like "feudal superstition harms others and oneself, there are no human rights in feudal society, and feudal society exploits women". The love between husband and wife and the feelings for family and country are all bullshit.

Seeing that she did not answer, Pei An could only ask, "I have already informed my father, and your punishment has been waived. I have also rewarded you with a lot of your favorite calligraphy and painting copies. When you feel better, you will have enough to read for a while." In the past, Song Guanzhou only liked these elegant things.

I thought that after hearing this, Song Guanzhou would soften his heart and respond.

But the next moment, Song Guanzhou turned his face to the curtain, clearly unwilling to pay attention to Pei An.

Panlan and Panxi stood at the door and kept an eye on the two of them. Seeing the Fourth Young Master's wife being so willful, they were frightened and wanted to say a few soft words in front of the two masters, but Pei An was a little disappointed. "Guanzhou, I know you feel bad, but it's understandable that you went to ask mother and second sister-in-law. You've changed so much compared to the past, which inevitably aroused everyone's suspicion, including me."

After hearing this, Song Guanzhou finally turned around and gave Pei An a straight look.

She was already thin, and this catastrophe made her face sallow and shriveled, her eyes dull, and her lips dry and pale. It was indeed a life-and-death experience, and she almost lost half her life.

"Pei An, that day a few old women stuffed a handkerchief in my mouth, trying to block my cries for help. I thought that after a day like that, I would lose a few teeth... but who would have thought that my teeth would be so hard and intact."

When everyone was puzzled by these words, Song Guanzhou coughed a few times with difficulty and then said:

"But this is not the hardest part of my body... Pei An, my bones are harder than my teeth. Even with all the torture, my bones didn't soften at all."

After saying this, his originally lifeless and lonely eyes lit up.

She looked at the man sitting there like a warrior who had won a glorious defeat. "Pei An, I have a clear conscience."

While beating him, those crazy women asked, "Who are you? Where are you from? What's your name? Who do you want to harm here?" They asked over and over again, thousands of times. The cloth ball in Song Guanzhou's mouth was taken away, and they only heard the same answer thousands of times.

"I am Song Guanzhou, from the Huaifeng Song family. My father, Song Wenqi, was a senior scholar at the Hanlin Academy... My adopted brother, Song Xinglu—"

"What about your mother?"

Mother?

"Mother Xu is gentle, talented, and broad-minded."

The old lady refused to accept the punishment and started to beat him again. "Pull out another nail!" She was in great pain and wanted to scream but couldn't. Beads of sweat fell from her forehead. "Tell me quickly, what were you planning to do when you were inside the Fourth Young Master's wife?"

Ah!

She endured the severe pain and sneered, "Plotting on this fucking stupid life."

The two women looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what he said. They asked again, but Song Guanzhou remained silent. He fainted and woke up again, counting from one to thousands to ten thousand. He counted until he saw death was calling him, but it still hadn't ended.

Until Pei An and his men kicked the door open and pulled her back from the brink of liberation into this disgusting society.

Will she thank you? No!

Pei An went to work, riding a horse all the way, and Song Guanzhou's words kept ringing in his mind - Pei An, I have a clear conscience, and what is harder than my teeth... is my bones.

He didn't know what kind of despair made Song Guanzhou say such arrogant words when he was on the verge of death.

All day long, apart from handling official business, he thought of these words from time to time.

After finishing his shift, he saw his good friend Qin Qingdong half-sitting on the shaft of a carriage outside the official residence, fanning himself and greeting him from afar.

"Ji Zhang, come quickly, I will take you to a good place."

The Qin family was a popular upstart family. Qin Qingdong's elder sister entered the Eastern Palace and became the Crown Princess. The family was glorious, but they gave birth to a playboy like Qin Qingdong.

Pei An sighed and walked over. "Although it is the first month of the year, the wind and the cold are still there. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for holding a paper fan?"

Qin Qingdong stretched out his hand to pull him onto the carriage, and then he proudly fanned himself inside, "Hun, you are clearly so romantic, why are you laughing?" After that, he looked Pei An up and down, and said in amazement, "Is the Song family still messing with you?"

Looking closely, Pei An looked average, and it was unclear whether it was because of the exhaustion from work or because his lovely wife at home was being too unruly.

Pei An lowered his eyes, "There's been a lot going on lately."

Qin Qingdong raised his head and laughed, "Forget it, I won't mention the trivial matters in your room. I'm going to Miss Baoyue's place today and get drunk."

Everything started at the Full Moon Tower. Pei An was somewhat reluctant, "Let's just forget about it today and just send me back home."

"Don't go?"

Qin Qingdong waved his fan, "I know that your tigress smashed the Manyue Tower, and she barely managed to get it back these past two days. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you, the husband of a criminal, to apologize."

No matter how Pei An refused, Qin Qingdong only ordered the coachman to rush to Manyue Tower. When Zhu Baoyue heard the sound of the carriage coming, she quickly moved to the gate of the courtyard to greet the two of them in person.

"Miss Baoyue, you don't have to come in person every time. This place is more familiar to you than the inner courtyard of my house. It's so cold today and you haven't recovered from the cold. If you come out and get caught in the wind, it will be our fault."

Zhu Baoyue bowed and said, "I dare not."

But after she finished speaking, she coughed lightly a few times. Pei An looked in the direction of the sound and saw a blush on her pretty face like a full moon. Her eyes moved slightly, and she looked indescribably charming.

"Thank you, Fourth Master, for sending someone to help me clean up the building."

Pei An was a little embarrassed, "It was my wife who lost her temper. I hope Miss Baoyue will forgive me."

Zhu Baoyue frowned slightly and opened her red lips, "I dare not blame you, I just hope that the fourth young lady will show mercy and not misunderstand me." She is doing an elegant business here, not a famous girl in the market. But Song Guanzhou was even more suspicious and came to cause trouble again and again.

Pei An thought of Song Guanzhou struggling in his arms and saying that he would let him go, and he couldn't help but reply to Zhu Baoyue, "She will never come again."

Zhu Baoyue didn't believe it, but she didn't refute it. She was slender and wore a moon-white silk brocade jacket and skirt, with her hair tied up in a bun and a jade hairpin in her hair. She led the way.

Qin Qingdong joked, "Pei Jizhang, you've said this at least three or five times, which one can you believe?"

Song Guanzhou was a man of extreme stubbornness, and his heart and eyes were completely occupied with Pei An. He made such a big fuss on the Lantern Festival that the story of Mrs. Pei's heroic deeds was still circulating in the Qin family's backyard.

"I will definitely not come again."

For some reason, Pei An felt so confident.

The few of them entered the gorgeous inner room and saw a well-dressed and luxuriously dressed woman standing in front of an embroidered screen with her back to them. Several little maids were beside her, going back and forth to set up the guest room, serving tea and pouring water, and making tea on the fire. The scene was peaceful.

Pei An stood at the door, stunned.

The woman seemed to sense someone was watching her. She turned her head back, raised her eyes slightly, and smiled, "Ji Zhang, it's me."

Pei An's face was full of surprise, which instantly turned into joy. He strode in, "Fuyun! When will you be back?"
