The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 175

Xiao Hongli is more than ten years older than Mrs. Liu, so they can be considered an older man and younger wife. Over the years, Xiao Hongli has always coaxed and given in to Mrs. Liu in many things, but despite this, Xiao Hongli's backyard is not very clean.

Fortunately, the Xiao family's ancestral precepts strictly forbid the birth of illegitimate children.

So compared to other rich wives, Mrs. Liu is better off.

"It's not that I'm trying to compare myself with them. The Xiao family is not bad, but they are not as capable as the Pei family. I know all this, but the two girls you gave birth to don't know! They actually think they can also be like the girls from the Pei family and give orders to Brother An's daughter-in-law."

This kind of illusion can cost lives at critical moments.

Xiao Hongli frowned upon hearing this and coaxed his wife to tell him the general situation. When he heard the girl from the second branch of the Pei family accusing Song Guanzhou of being bold, he couldn't help but glance sideways, "Then how will the Song family respond?"

Mrs. Liu thought about it carefully, and after a moment she answered, "You have seen the temper of An's daughter-in-law. She quarreled with Cang on the first day. Is she someone who can be compromised? Of course not. She was so high and mighty, saying that the girls were not as good as her, and I, her aunt, was listening beside them, and could not say a word at all."

"This attitude is too arrogant."

Mrs. Liu calmed down and said quietly, "What she said is true. What is the origin of the Song family? Just talk about her father. He is from the Huaifeng Song family. How can others compare? The girl from the second branch of the Pei family probably doesn't like her. She said that the marriage with Silang at that time was all because An's daughter-in-law was bold and begged my father to propose the marriage--"

Xiao Hongli shook his head after hearing this.

"One or two of them, they are short-sighted. Madam Mei from the second house is a little famous, how come she raised such a bold daughter?"

Mrs. Liu sighed, "…Maybe An's daughter-in-law did act boldly before, but it's not something the girls from the Second House and Xiao's family can judge. She didn't care about her moral character, words, appearance, and merits. How can I not be angry?"

Xiao Hongli was drunk and burped a few times.

"My Lord, you are in a state of deep worry. My elder brother and I have been drinking with you and have eaten a lot. You are the one who decides how to educate our daughter."

The child followed the way the eldest son was brought up in the past, but Xiao Yinmei was a little eccentric, so Mrs. Min was very careful in everything as she had such a little girl.

Even so, he was once dropped by a careless nanny when he was young, leaving a scar more than half an inch long on his forehead.

Over the years, I have taken a lot of medicines and applied a lot of ointments, but it is still difficult to get rid of.

Xiao Yinmei was not good at speaking, and her bangs were thicker than other girls', just to hide the ugly scar. In addition, the Xiao family only raised the eldest daughter Xiao Yinxiu, and the next three girls lost their lives due to different accidents when they were five years old or older.

It was not until the fifth girl Xiao Yinmei came that she survived because of her extreme caution.

Therefore, Mrs. Min did not educate her as strictly as she did Xiao Yinxiu, but Mrs. Liu looked at herself and the previous two girls, and she was afraid that she would not be able to not invite them now.

After Xiao Bei sent his father back, he also returned to the room.

Zhang Fanghui sent the maid away and went forward to serve personally. She helped Xiao Bei take off his clothes, clean his face and feet, and coaxed Xiao Bei to drink a cup of honey-sauce purple tea to sober him up.

Xiao Bei felt much better. He lay on his back on the bed, chatting with Zhang Fanghui.

"You've worked hard today, so you should come up and rest early."

His eyes were closed, but he couldn't fall asleep. There were too many things on his mind, but he didn't know how to say them.

Zhang Fanghui extinguished the candle, carefully lay down on the outside of the bed, and sighed slightly, "I don't know why, but my eyelids are always twitching. This time when I came to Beijing, I always felt that it was not peaceful."

"How can it be peaceful? Cang Ge'er has caused quite a bit of trouble."

If Princess Fuman mentioned it casually to the Empress Dowager, the Xiao family would probably be severely criticized. This was because the Emperor showed mercy, otherwise -

"We have all gone to apologize today, and it was my aunt who went alone. I'm afraid Princess Fuman won't pursue the matter any further." Zhang Fanghui was still in shock. After Mrs. Liu said this, she and her sister-in-law were both worried.

"We'll talk about it later. Just be careful inside and outside the Duke's Mansion."

Xiao Bei closed his eyes and muttered to himself. It seemed that he was admonishing his wife, but in fact he was also warning himself.

Zhang Huifang hummed.

After a long time, Xiao Bei suddenly opened his eyes and asked a few questions, "My elder sister didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" It was an old story. Before Xiao Bei got married, Xiao Yinxiu recommended a lady from the capital to Xiao Bei. However, Xiao Bei had already fallen in love with his classmate Zhang Fanghui, so he declined his elder sister's kindness.

Originally, Xiao Yinxiu thought that his fourth brother was looking for a unique woman, but when he heard that it was just an ordinary girl from a scholar's family, Xiao Yinxiu felt uncomfortable and reported to his aunt, saying that he wanted to cancel the marriage.

Fortunately, my father had good foresight and after much lobbying, the two were able to get married.

But despite this, just over a month after the marriage, the lady of the Duke's Mansion, that is, his aunt Xiao Muxue, actually sent back two beautiful women and specifically gave them to Xiao Bei as concubines.

Do you dare to quit?

dare not.

Xiao Bei just thought it was ridiculous. Unfortunately, no matter how good the love between husband and wife was, they could not withstand someone’s intention to separate them.

After getting drunk one time, Xiao Bei entered the wrong room.

Zhang Fanghui was so angry that she lost her three-month-old fetus... Xiao Bei blamed himself a lot and finally found a fault and sent away the two concubines.

One thing after another, both sides have their own concerns.

After that, Zhang Fanghui didn't dare to stand up in front of Xiao Yinxiu, for fear that she would find fault with her. Despite this, in the few times they met, Xiao Yinxiu always treated her coldly, which led to Xiao Bei's words now.

"Don't worry, my husband. My elder sister has been so busy these past two days that she has no time to look at me."

What's more, she kept a low profile and only interacted with Xiao Du's wife. Mrs. Liu was in the front line of everything, so she felt much more at ease.

only……

Still a bit curious.

"My husband, what do you think of An's daughter-in-law?"

Sleepless, Xiao Bei thought about it, and the image of the beautiful Song Guanzhou appeared in his mind. "She is a rare beauty with a first-class appearance, but she has a hot temper and can't be called virtuous. This morning, the prince took Cang Ge'er out to cause trouble, and it was because Qin's Erlang protected her that he almost had a fight with Cang Ge'er."

The two of them had a quarrel, and although Qin Er left, Pei Chen felt disappointed. He was willful to begin with, so he kept Xiao Du and Xiao Bei to have tea, and coaxed Cang Ge'er to go straight to the brothel except for Wen Qu Pavilion.

Zhang Fanghui was shocked when she heard this.

"If you put it that way, it's really hard to judge. Because of the prince's matter, my eldest sister cried for a long time in my eldest aunt's room that night. My wife felt embarrassed, so she took me and my eldest sister-in-law to Shaohua Garden. When we got to the door, we saw the second son of the Qin family sitting in the courtyard. He seemed to be very close to An Ge'er and his wife."

"The little girl of the Qin family was saved by Song Guanzhou. Although Erlang is unruly, he is very loyal. I heard from Chun Ge'er who was with Erlang that he accompanied Song Guanzhou in Shaohua Garden during the day when he was recovering from his injury a few days ago."

Zhang Fanghui heard her sisters mention this today and she also shook her head, very confused.

“——There are differences between men and women.”
