The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 357

After entering the inner room, Xiao Yinxiu did not stand up, but just leaned on the silk pillow. He casually raised his head and called Pei Qiuyu, who came to greet him, to sit down.

"It's a hot day. I just rest in the house. I walk around and sweat all over."

Pei Qiuyu quickly asked Qingzao to bring orchids and said a lot about how it was really rude of him not to visit his second sister-in-law and two brothers for a long time.

When he wanted to present flowers, Xiao Yinxiu just smiled faintly.

"This flower was given to your aunt by Aunt Fang to plant. It is growing well now."

Pei Qiuyu had no doubts and praised the flower to the heavens and the earth. Fortunately, she still had a trace of clarity in her mind. Finally, she said, "Sister-in-law's garden is full of beautiful things. I just sent them to you for you to enjoy when you have nothing to do. Please don't despise them."

"Forget it. You and I are sisters. Why should I be polite to you? It was not easy for your aunt to grow her. How can I take away her favorite thing? Just take it back."

Pei Qiuyu couldn't hold on to his smile when he heard Xiao Yinxiu's indifferent words. He stood up and lowered his head, saying, "Sister-in-law still dislikes Qiuyu's absurd words in the past..."

"You and I are one family, we should not talk behind closed doors, so why should we hate each other? Just take the flowers back, and if you have anything else, just tell me."

Pei Qiuyu was about to say something else, but when he looked up, he saw a large pot of purple butterfly orchid on a high table beside him. It was ten times more luxurious and elegant than the lonely one in Qingzao's hand.

Suddenly, her cheeks became hot and red.

"My sister-in-law is very busy, and Qiuyu is not tactful enough to disturb her. I am really ashamed." She looked disappointed and wanted to leave, but she heard Aunt Chu scolding the outsiders, saying that these things were not done well.

Xiao Yinxiu was disturbed and looked unhappy.

I called Aunt Chu over and asked, "Why are you making so much noise? Can you let us have some peace and quiet?"

"Madam, it's Juxiang Juhuang who's back. The Fourth Young Master's wife didn't sort out the books today, so I ordered some porcelain, calligraphy and paintings earlier. I sent two people to deliver them just now, but the Fourth Young Master's wife said that she couldn't accept the reward without merit, so she returned it...

"Ah--"

Xiao Yinxiu snorted coldly, "Are you dissatisfied with the poor quality of the things I sent over?"

Aunt Chu quickly denied, "Not really. I told Ju Huang and Ju Xiang to say it, but the Fourth Young Master's wife still refused. The Fourth Young Master also refused and asked the two maids to come back and report, saying that the Madam of the Crown Prince should not be so reserved."

Xiao Yinxiu's expression became increasingly gloomy. Pei Qiuyu shrank to the side, wanting to leave but unable to speak. However, it felt inappropriate to stay.

"Shaohuayuan? Great! They are a loving couple named Juxiang and Juhuang. Don't leave your things behind. Bring them to me. I will personally deliver them."

"Madam, you can't do that."

Shuangyue and Aunt Chu were so worried. Should they go and watch the two sisters-in-law quarreling with each other?

If the prince comes back, won’t he treat his wife even worse?

Ju Xiang was summoned by Aunt Chu, came in to pay her respects, and repeated Shao Huayuan's reply, "When I left, the Fourth Young Master's wife was about to go out—"

"She's limping, where is she going to run like crazy?"

Ju Xiang just shook her head, "I don't want to ask too much, but I'm traveling with the Fourth Young Master, the Second Young Master of the Qin Family, and the cousin of the Xu Family—"

The two sisters have been with Song Guanzhou for a long time, organizing books and so on, and they have often stayed with him for the whole day. In terms of personality, the Fourth Young Master's wife is much better than the Crown Prince's wife.

Now that the Crown Prince's wife was questioning her, she could only report what she could.

Pei Qiuyu called out to the second sister-in-law, "The fourth sister-in-law must have gone to the lotus pond to see the lotuses. I happened to see her under the Tingyu Pavilion when I came over."

…She feels comfortable!

Xiao Yinxiu said he was going to go, and turned around and pointed at Pei Qiuyu, "You go with me."

Pei Qiuyu secretly thought that this was not good. After the banquet that night, how could she not know that the second sister-in-law hated the fourth sister-in-law the most?

If I follow him now, I’m afraid I’ll be dragged down.

But she couldn't say anything to refuse, so she could only tell Qingzao to go back first, and she followed Xiao Yinxiu, and the two of them went straight to the lotus pond.

On the way, Xiao Yinxiu suddenly turned around and asked Pei Qiuyu.

"Do you also go to pay respects to your fourth sister-in-law on weekdays?"

Pei Qiuyu shook her head. "Second sister-in-law doesn't know that Fourth sister-in-law dislikes my noise. After I went there once or twice, she didn't pay much attention to me, so I never dared to go there again."

As pitiful as a little flower ravaged by a storm.

Xiao Yinxiu snorted, "So you are the only one in this mansion who is not afraid of me?"

"…What are you saying, sister-in-law? You are always magnanimous. My sister is young and doesn't know much. I was hurt by the incident with Xiao's Fifth Brother before. If I have anything to fear, I'm afraid that you won't care about me."

"You are good at talking."

Xiao Yinxiu supported Shuangyue and continued to walk forward. Soon, they came to the lotus viewing pavilion beside the lotus pond. Jindong saw them from afar and leaned down to whisper something to Song Guanzhou. Song Guanzhou looked over and sighed, "Silang, your cousin really can't stand seeing anything unhappy."

Pei An also saw the person coming and smiled helplessly, "Forget it, please come in and talk with me. You know she has a reckless temper, so don't bother with her."

Qin Er waved his fan, "You are good at being a peacemaker..." Without waiting for Pei An to explain, he continued his heroic speech, "My wife has suffered all the loss, but the reputation has fallen on you."

When Song Guanzhou heard this, he burst out laughing.

"Qin Er, you can talk!"

Qin Er winked and said, "Isn't it? Pei Si is just trying to smooth things over and doesn't care about your life or death. What do you mean you don't care? It's just asking you to bear it. Ouch! Pei Si, why did you hit me?"

Pei An snorted, "Stop trying to sow discord between us as husband and wife."

"True gold is not afraid of fire. If you have a guilty conscience, there must be something wrong with you!"

The two of them were talking back and forth like children quarreling, until Xiao Yinxiu came up to them, then they stopped talking. Xu Lingqiao took the brunt of the conversation, bowed to Xiao Yinxiu, and greeted Pei Qiuyu, who returned the greeting. The whole atmosphere was peaceful.

Xiao Yinxiu smiled and took Xu Lingqiao's hand, saying softly, "My dear sister, my sister-in-law drank too much that day and got confused. Now she doesn't dare to say anything. I just beg you to ask me, is our fourth young lady still angry?"

Xu Lingqiao glanced at Song Guanzhou, who was looking straight ahead attentively at the lotus, and smiled, "Madam, you are so polite. We are sisters, why are you so angry..."

Qin Er and Pei An also exchanged greetings with Xiao Yinxiu, "Second sister-in-law, you are too polite. It's just a misunderstanding. We can clear it up."

But has it been solved?

Song Guanzhou did not respond. Xu Lingqiao took Xiao Yinxiu's arm and sat beside them. Xiao Yinxiu did not care about Song Guanzhou. She just looked at Pei An and Xu Lingqiao, said words of apology, and asked the maid to bring up the apology gift.

"They are just ornaments, not worth much money. I sincerely apologize, but I hope you, my fourth brother and his wife, don't take it to heart."

Seeing this, Pei An could no longer refuse.

Song Guanzhou was indifferent when Lotus Flower led him back to Shaohua Garden. He snorted and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you feel wronged for this trip?"
