The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 162

During the lunch break, Xiao Yinxiu took time out to visit his mother.

Aunt Lin led her in and whispered about the Madam's plans for most of the day, "Get up early and walk around the yard to get rid of the heat of the day. When dinner is served, the Fourth Young Master's wife will come over and have dinner with the Old Madam and the Third Madam before saying goodbye and leaving."

Xiao Yinxiu walked inside and asked, "Brother Cang didn't come, did he?"

Aunt Lin smiled and said, "Of course he didn't come. Madam is afraid of the Fifth Young Master. Since she has called the Fourth Young Master's wife, she can't call the mountain king over, lest the two of them quarrel again when they meet."

Xiao Yinxiu snorted, "They are all so old, but they have such a temper. I can't say anything, so I'll just let them be."

Mrs. Min, who was sleeping on the kang bed with eyes closed, had heard her daughter coming. When she saw her open the door curtain and walk in, she opened her eyes and sighed, "Don't pay attention to it. Your father told me yesterday that since your uncle doesn't care, we will just turn a blind eye. If Cangge'er makes trouble, we will just give him a few spankings."

Xiao Yinxiu sat down opposite the table on the kang and smiled at her mother.

"My fourth young master's wife is unforgiving and can't be controlled."

When Mrs. Min saw her daughter coming, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. She called the maid, who brought her a towel and some cold tea. Xiao Yinxiu took a few sips before she felt better.

"Is mother used to it?"

"You have arranged it very well. It's natural to get used to it."

Seeing her daughter becoming more and more capable, she still felt distressed, "Now you are in charge of the household affairs of this mansion, inside and outside, old and young, masters and servants, you have to see it all and remember it in your heart. I also know the hard work."

"Don't worry, mother. Now that my aunt is not in charge of things, although it is a bit hard, it is still comfortable. A few days ago, my eldest sister-in-law came back and I have help. It's just that I have been busy these few days, but it's not bad on weekdays."

Mrs. Min sighed softly, "Ling and Huan are doing well now, which is more important than anything else."

The letters they exchanged contained only a few words, but it was clear that the old couple of the Xiao family were terrified.

"I'm fine now, mother, don't worry."

"You must thank the Shilang family very much. May the ancestors bless you."

When Xiao Yinxiu heard this, her face darkened. After thinking for a while, she sent away a few maids, leaving only Aunt Lin and Aunt Chu. Seeing this, Mrs. Min also sat up and said, "My son, if you have something important to say, just say it."

As long as the Xiao family can lend a hand, they will certainly not ignore it.

What's more, his daughter is much more reliable than that woman Xiao Muxue.

Xiao Yinxiu thought about it and decided to tell her mother the truth. "I didn't mean to make things difficult for the fourth wife. She has done a good deed to my two children. If she wants to help in this mansion, I am willing to give her power. If she doesn't want to be an idle immortal, my sister-in-law and I will do whatever she wants. But -"

Seeing her daughter's frown, Mrs. Min stepped forward, took her soft hand, and asked softly, "Just talk slowly. You and I are mother and mother, so why should we not speak up?"

Xiao Yinxiu sighed heavily and lowered his head.

"I meant to be nice to her, but I'm afraid she didn't think so."

what?

Mrs. Min was puzzled. "I have seen this child twice before. Once she married Silang. As a newlywed, she was a bit shy and we never got along. The next time I saw her, it was when your uncle was not feeling well the year before last. I saw her standing aside in a cold and unenthusiastic manner. Now she seems to be more easy-going and generous. Why is she not getting along with you?"

"Mother, after she made a scene at the gate of Jizi this year, she looked like she was possessed by an evil spirit and became crazy. I told my aunt about it, and she thought it was because she had bumped into something unclean during the Lantern Festival, so she sent her daughter to invite the famous fairy lady in the capital to perform a dance to exorcise the evil spirit—"

"If there really was a collision, exorcising the evil spirits would be helpful."

Xiao Yinxiu sighed, "That fairy lady was very ruthless. She secretly tortured Song and tortured her in the Jianshui room for a whole day. If the fourth son hadn't come back at night and found something wrong, Song would have lost her life..." Mrs. Min was horrified when she heard this. "How could she do such a thing?"

But that's not it.

"Mother also knows that Song is stubborn and tough by nature. She has kept this in mind."

Mrs. Min groaned, her face full of sorrow, as if she was thinking of some past memories. She couldn't help but sigh, "What a sin your aunt has committed!"

Xiao Yinxiu shook his head.

"Afterwards, the fourth son made a big fuss and wanted to report it to the police, but how could this Duke's Mansion let such a big fuss... In the end, my uncle took out Wenxi Villa and gave it to the fourth son's family. It barely managed to keep them quiet, but mother wondered if this matter could really be exposed."

Looking at Song Guanzhou's unyielding nature, how could he not hold a grudge against her and her aunt?

Now that my aunt has committed a crime and is imprisoned in a small Buddhist temple, I still have to see her day and night.

"How foolish! But after this happened, I saw that she still saved Ling Ge'er and his brother. I'm afraid she had her own plans. I think this matter has nothing to do with you."

"That's not true, Mother."

Xiao Yinxiu was at a loss for words. Aunt Chu came up and whispered, "Old lady, you don't know. The Fourth Young Master's wife went down to save the Tenth Prince, and she also saved the other children."

"The tenth prince? The little noble born to the queen?"

Mrs. Min was once someone who could enter the palace and kowtow, and she knew something about the royal family. How could she not know the noble status of the Tenth Prince? I'm afraid he is the only one except the Crown Prince.

Xiao Yinxiu sighed, "Mother, it's him. He has been rewarded constantly by the palace, and he is valued by his uncle and Silang, which is why he has the temper he has today."

"It's only been more than two months since the Lantern Festival—"

So many things have happened. Mrs. Min couldn't help but smack her lips. "No matter what, she still has some respect for you now, and you tolerate her."

"What can I do if I don't tolerate her? Silang is ambitious and not a useless playboy like the prince. And for Silang's sake, I dare not look down on her. But this past is a misunderstanding after all. She is not an ordinary woman. She does not take the overall situation into consideration and is merciless. You can see what kind of character she has by looking at the way she treats my fifth brother..."

"In that case, there's no need to take it to heart. She has a bad temper and she's pregnant. It's okay as long as Silang can keep calm. When she's sent away in the future, Song will definitely follow her. As long as she doesn't live in the mansion, she will forget about it over time." Mrs. Min comforted him, and Xiao Yinxiu breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

"Everything is peaceful now, but there is still a conflict."

Mrs. Min knew that her daughter had a hard time, so after comforting her with a few words, the mother and daughter talked about other things.

"I think Qiuyu is a well-behaved girl, but it's a pity that she doesn't like Cang'er. Well, we can't force someone to eat grass." Mrs. Min was worried when she thought about her youngest son's marriage.

"It's just petty. Aunt Li is short-sighted, and that's what she brought up."
