The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 284

Song Guanzhou woke up in the middle of the night and woke up even later the next day.

Hua Chonglou ordered the carriage to go into the city first. She left Granny Hua by her side and had breakfast with Xu Lingqiao.

As the sun rose to high noon, there was still no movement at the end of the corridor.

Lianhua went over twice but heard no movement. When she returned to Xu Lingqiao's room, she heard Xu Lingqiao talking to Hua Chonglou, "Cousin, you haven't gotten up yet. Are you tired?"

Hua Chonglou and Zhuang Gu smiled at each other.

"Don't worry, cousin. The young lady is a good sleeper. Besides, she has the fourth young master to accompany her, so it's no problem."

Many people in the mansion found it incredible that Song Guanzhou was so sleepy.

Xiao Yinxiu arranged the affairs of the house early in the morning, and went to pay his respects to his mother. He also accompanied Mrs. Min for dinner. Noticing that his fifth brother was not around, he asked a question.

Mrs. Min sighed, "Don't ask him, he's just a naughty monkey. I think he had a conflict with Guan Zhou yesterday afternoon. He got pushed and sulked until today. He refused to eat. No matter who urged him, he wouldn't move out of the room."

Xiao Yinxiu swallowed the porridge and food in his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk scarf, and then asked, "Why is there a quarrel with the fourth elder's family again? How can he make any progress if he keeps arguing with a woman every day?"

Mrs. Min shook her head. "It's just that math competition. I've also told your father not to let young people mess around. Look, Cang'er hasn't been eating or sleeping well these days. He's been thinking about this all the time. The Xiao family already has a lot of accounts to deal with, and now they have this competition. Just wait and see. I don't think Cang'er will feel at ease when he goes back."

Xiao Yinxiu naturally knew about this.

She heard her mother complaining, her nose snorting, very unhappy, "I tried to stop it a few days ago, but who in this house listened to me? Not to mention the master's approval, even father, third uncle, and the prince..., all agreed. The men are like this, what can I, a woman, say?"

Mrs. Min couldn't help but sigh, "I thought it was just a normal thing, but Cang Ge'er was too concerned. I asked Mu Er and Mu San what happened yesterday, but they couldn't explain it clearly. Forget it, I'll go and take a look myself later. Is he really going to starve himself to death?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became.

Xiao Yinxiu was even more resentful. "Song rode out yesterday without coming to tell me in person. I'm afraid Cang'er stepped forward to stop her and said a few words, which made her very angry. I heard from the second aunt of the Tong family in the kitchen that Song actually had someone beat Cang'er..."

When Mrs. Min heard this, she looked sideways.

"You dare to say that, but I don't believe it. Your own brother is a piece of shit, but others don't know. Are you blind too?"

Mrs. Min did not indulge Xiao at all. "Brother Cang's words offended people. Guan Zhou is a woman. Instead of saying that your brother's words were as hurtful as poison, you listened to the gossip of a long-tongued maid in the kitchen. Don't say this in front of others in the future, otherwise I, your mother, will lose face."

Xiao Yinxiu was filled with sadness when she heard this. She hated her mother for not believing her and was about to cry, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Your heart is with an outsider. If people don't know, they would think that Song was born from your belly and I was born from your mother!"

"Xiu'er!"

Mrs. Min scolded her harshly, "You are becoming less and less like a mistress. We will all be back home in a few days. Where will you go to gossip? Are you going to Shaohua Garden every day? Now is the most peaceful time in your house. You have nothing to do, but you have to cause discord between your sisters-in-law?"

After being scolded by her mother, Xiao Yinxiu couldn't eat. She threw away her chopsticks and cups and sat aside in anger.

"With a bunch of servants watching, Song just pushed Cang a few times! She is a woman, and she never differentiates between men and women. She ignores the sisters of the Xiao and Pei families, and instead shamelessly flirts with men outside her family all day long!"

"Bastard!"

A mellow voice sounded, Xiao Yinxiu hurriedly stood up and whispered, "Father——"

Xiao Hongyun, wearing a long gown and silk shoes, walked slowly to the inner room. Seeing his daughter standing in front of him, he started to gossip a lot but still dared to put on an aggrieved face.

Seeing him approaching, she lowered her brows and looked dismayed, with tears about to fall.

"Somebody come!"

Xiao Hongyun glanced at his daughter and ignored her. He just called the maid in with a deep voice, "Go get a washboard."

what?

The maid didn't dare to question it, so she just nodded and walked out.

Mrs. Min saw this and called softly, "Master, don't be angry." She knew that her husband had heard her daughter's outrageous words. After that, she looked up at her daughter and winked. Xiao Yinxiu hurried forward and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Father, it was my daughter who spoke out of turn. I was wrong."

Xiao Hongyun sat on a chair, looking at his daughter who was kneeling in front of him with her head lowered. She was nearly thirty years old now and had already become a wife and a mother, but listening to what she had just said, how could this be something the wife of a prince from a noble family should say?

Unspeakable disappointment.

Especially when Xiao Yinxiu knelt down to admit her fault, he said softly, "In this respect, you are not as good as your aunt. Although she has no moral character, she has always been brave and responsible. She stiffened her neck and only admitted her own death. Even when she was dying, she never lowered her head and admitted her fault like you did."

Xiao Yinxiu raised his face, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Father, isn't it right for me to admit my mistakes?"

Xiao Hongyun snorted heavily, "Okay, since you admit your mistakes, that doesn't mean you know your mistakes. As long as you know your mistakes, you have to accept the punishment. You have been married for ten years, and your father has always been more worried about you. But now that I hear you making rumors behind my back, I just feel regretful. Why didn't I teach you well..."

"Father!"

The maid had brought in the washboard. Xiao Hongyun dismissed everyone, leaving only his wife and daughter. Seeing this, Xiao Yinxiu was even more disappointed, "Father..., is father going to punish me today?"

"Can't punish him? It was Cangge who pushed Guanzhou to compete with your brother. As a woman, you don't think her courage is commendable. Instead, you are jealous of her ability. You can't stand it every day. Don't you think that everyone has forgotten what you and your aunt did to Guanzhou? Your two children were also saved by Guanzhou. You are so ungrateful. My Xiao family is ashamed of Song Daxueshi and his daughter!"

After that, he ignored Mrs. Min's dissuasion and ordered Xiao Yinxiu to kneel on the washboard in the corner of the inner room.

"I'll let your sister-in-law take care of the affairs in the mansion today. If you don't agree with your father, then go and tell your uncle!"

Xiao Yinxiu's tears fell.

"Father is so cruel!"

Xiao Hongyun sighed in disappointment, "You are so stupid, you really shouldn't have listened to your aunt and sent you to this place."

"Father--!"
