The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 238

Xu Lingbai welcomed Pei An and his wife into the house. Pei An saw that his courtyard was empty and asked the servants. Xu Lingbai quickly said, "Sister Ren Dong has arranged two young men to come. They said they were going to the warehouse to get some things. I'm afraid they will be back in a while."

Rongfuyuan is not big, but what is valuable is its exquisiteness.

Song Guanzhou stepped into the main room, his steps were a little disordered, and Pei An was by his side, carefully taking care of him from beginning to end.

"Don't be polite, cousin. If you need anything, just send someone to Shaohua Garden to find Jindong." Song Guanzhou muttered, "We won't give up on what happened to my cousin."

Xu Lingbai suddenly stepped forward solemnly and bowed to the couple.

"Thank you, Ji Zhang and cousin, for your hard work. It was all my fault for being careless and trusting my uncle's family, which led to Ling Qiao falling into danger. Now... I also know that Ling Qiao is in danger. I dreamed of her standing in front of me covered in blood a few nights ago. I thought... I'm afraid she's gone."

It is quite painful to say this.

Pei An quickly helped him up, "Cousin, don't be discouraged. We must see the body alive or dead. The whole brothel in Qingmei Garden has been imprisoned. We will definitely find out where it went."

"Cousin, please study hard. I have sent people to look for my cousin. As long as it is in the Dalong territory, we will definitely find it."

The couple's words brought tears to Xu Lingbai's eyes.

"My mother passed away early, Ling Qiao has always been by my side, and then my father passed away. My stepmother and I didn't get along well, so I thought about bringing her with me when I went to Beijing, not to mention my uncle's family was there... Who could have expected that I would end up walking into a tiger's mouth——"

During these days, he lived in the red-light district, and Linxi was by his side from beginning to end. The two of them had seen a lot, so they knew how cruel the red-light district was for a decent girl.

"Ling Qiao has a strong character and cannot stand such humiliation. I think she has ended her relationship early."

It’s not that Xu Lingbai is pessimistic, but that the madam is cruel and ruthless.

The more they talked, the more sad they became. Pei An waved his hand and asked Rendong to have someone serve wine and food. The three of them sat down and talked while eating.

Food can soothe so many emotions. Xu Lingbai has always been unfamiliar with this cousin of his. He had seen her twice when he was a child, but his memory was vague. After growing up, although his aunt and her husband passed away one after another, he also came to mourn, but because Song Guanzhou was too sad and in mourning, the two of them could not meet properly.

Song Xinglu had to deal with the people who came to attend the funeral on his own.

As for Pei An, he had always heard of the fourth son of the Duke of Zhenguo's family. He was naturally intelligent, knowledgeable, and the youngest successful scholar in the history of Dalong.

It’s a pity that I have only heard of him but never met him.

Song Guanzhou got married in a hurry when her uncle was seriously ill. The Xu family was far away in their hometown, and they encountered floods, natural disasters and man-made disasters, so they could not come to the banquet. Today was the first time they met Pei An.

It really lives up to its reputation!

Pei An was particularly talented and well-versed in classics, history, and literature. The more they talked, the more they got along. Song Guanzhou, who was half illiterate, only listened to what they said about the Siku Quanshu and fell into a hypnotic state.

What surprised Xu Lingbai was that Song Guanzhou actually fell asleep leaning on Pei An.

What was even more unimaginable to him was that Rendong and the other subordinates only brought a spring stool and laid a mattress on it to make a simple small Hu bed, and Song Guanzhou lay on it on his side with his head resting on Pei An's knees.

"Why not send my cousin back first..."

Rendong covered Song Guanzhou with a thin quilt and said, "Cousin, the young lady is drunk. If the fourth young master is not by her side, she will wake up soon and will not be able to sleep well." Xu Lingbai was stunned. Her uncle used to pay great attention to the appearance of women, but why did his cousin become so unrestrained now that he was married?

Pei An was not surprised, but he could not hide his surprise when he saw Xu Lingbai.

"Don't worry, cousin. She is only here with you. She treats you as her brother. Besides, she is tired after entering the palace today. It is not good to make a fuss. Just let her do what she wants."

Xu Lingbai sighed, "I still have to thank Ji Zhang for his forgiveness."

A married woman should obey her husband. If Pei An is not uninhibited, I'm afraid there are very few people as unbridled as my cousin.

The two of them talked about everything from ancient times to the present, from heaven to earth. It was getting late, and Alu fell asleep. Pei An stopped talking and said, "My third uncle's fourth cousin is also with you this year. He is warm-hearted and has great literary talent, especially in classics, history, and literature. He is more knowledgeable than me. If I have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will definitely introduce you two to each other, so that we can have more friendship as classmates."

"Thank you, Ji Zhang, for your concern for me. I would like to thank you very much."

He was about to pay his respects, but Pei An stopped him. "I have no news from my eldest uncle, and Guan Zhou is all alone. Now that my cousin can come, Guan Zhou and I are overjoyed. Please don't be polite, and treat this place as your home. If you want to leave, I am afraid that Guan Zhou will be hurt."

Pei An seldom spoke so much. He looked gentle and refined, and his words came from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Lingbai sighed, "I've heard that the fourth son of the mansion is a man of noble character and noble character. It's my blessing to meet him now."

"Thank you for the compliment, cousin."

He held Song Guanzhou horizontally with the blanket in his arms. Song Guanzhou fell steadily into his arms, opened his eyes slightly, and said goodbye to Xu Lingbai, "Cousin, you look much better now than when you were a child, but you are a little thinner. Tomorrow I will ask the kitchen to make you some delicious food to nourish you, otherwise you may not be able to endure the few days of the imperial examination."

After saying that, he yawned and fell asleep leaning against Pei An.

It was like talking in a dream. Xu Lingbai was a little at a loss as to what to do. Pei An smiled faintly, "I'm afraid my cousin could not have expected Guan Zhou's current temper. He will get used to it as time goes by." Xu Lingbai personally sent him to the door of Rongfuyuan and watched Pei An and his wife disappear into the night. He was stunned for a moment before turning back to the house.

That night, Xu Lingbai tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

When he entered the capital, he specifically inquired about the affairs of the mansion. He thought that his cousin who lived in the back house might not know about it. However, when he only asked about the Mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo, others started to spill the beans, listing all of Song Guanzhou's "feats" one by one. After listening to them, he almost fainted.

Being so outrageous, I’m afraid she won’t be favored even in the palace.

In addition, the maidservant was evasive in front of Qi Yueniang, the eldest lady of the mansion, which made Xu Lingbai even more worried.

The maids said that they heard that the Fourth Young Master and the Young Mistress often quarreled, but as a young couple, they would make up after a quarrel at the head of the bed.

In wealthy families, rules are more important than anything else.

Therefore, according to the news Xu Lingbai got, his cousin Song Guanzhou was not loved by Pei An, especially since she had been married for more than two years and had never been pregnant... This time, when his sister got into trouble, the government sent Linxi to guard him in the red-light district. From time to time, he would ask a few questions, but Linxi just scratched his head and said, "The young lady is very powerful!"

When asked again, the young man couldn't answer.

How awesome is that?

After seeing each other today..., Xu Lingbai seemed to understand something.
