The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 184

The praise from the eldest young lady of the Qin family made the mother-in-law feel much better. Holding her hand, she couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it, after the Christmas of His Majesty, if he wants to go to the border, let him go. He always hangs around in the mansion. If Silang was at home, it would be fine. But Silang is busy with official duties, and he is always close to Guanzhou, and I am worried."

Song Guanzhou is young, handsome and not fussy about details.

No one knows a child better than his mother, and she knows the nature of this rebellious son she gave birth to best. He treated her with courtesy, but he didn't take it to heart. If he wanted to deal with someone with a bit of temper, the eldest daughter of Princess Hong'an and Song Guanzhou in the back were not quiet and demure people in the boudoir, so he took them to heart.

"Mother, please don't worry. When did our Qin family's son go astray?"

Ever since the eldest sister entered the Eastern Palace, the Qin family has been strictly disciplining their children and servants.

In the middle of the night, the wind was howling with rain.

Lightning flashed in the sky and thunder roared. Song Guanzhou woke up in shock. It happened to be a thunderous explosion, which made Song Guanzhou feel inexplicably panicked.

She sat up with the quilt in her arms, startling Pei An. Pei An turned around, put his arm around her waist and murmured, "Are you scared? Don't be afraid, I'm here." After that, he moved closer to Song Guanzhou with sleepy eyes and leaned tightly against her waist.

Her pounding heart made her anxious.

Looking out the window, it suddenly became bright outside, and the bright lightning illuminated the darkness.

Pei An opened his dark eyes and looked at Song Guanzhou, who was sitting expressionlessly at the head of the bed. He also sat up and asked softly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Song Guanzhou shook his head.

"I feel panicky, but I don't know why."

Pei An saw this and knew that she might be having a nightmare. He stretched out his long arms and embraced the delicate beauty in his arms, and gently kissed her forehead, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Song Guanzhou leaned in his arms and grabbed his clothes, "It's really strange. You didn't have a nightmare, and you weren't scared. Why are you so panicked——"

While speaking, he also grabbed Pei An's big hand and placed it on his chest. The softness of his palm made Pei An's heart distracted. Song Guanzhou's slender hand followed and pressed on it, "I counted, my heartbeat is too fast, over a hundred."

Uh--

Pei An whispered in her ear, "Go to sleep quickly. I have to go on duty early tomorrow. It's the emperor's birthday, and the Hanlin Academy has to present a birthday gift. Lord Jiang urged us to revise the laws of the previous dynasty as soon as possible."

This is not a simple official business.

Pei An and his colleagues were almost blinded by history books, and coupled with family affairs, he was just thankful that Song Guanzhou was in much better health, otherwise he would have to worry more.

Song Guanzhou nodded, "Go to sleep first, don't worry about me."

As he was talking, a few more thunderclaps were heard outside. Pei An frowned, "It's only the beginning of summer, and the spring ploughing is also coming to an end. I'm afraid the seeds haven't sprouted yet and have been soaked by this heavy rain."

This year's spring is short and the rainy season came earlier than in previous years. Plenty of rain is a good thing, but it comes at the wrong time.

Pei An was worried that a flood might come.

But mortals can't do anything at this time.

He got up and lit the lamp, poured some warm tea, and brought it to the bed for Song Guanzhou to drink. "It seems that the heavy rain has made people anxious."

"After eating, I lay down and fell asleep in a while."

Song Guanzhou hesitated for a moment, but still obediently curled up in the quilt. Pei An put away the teacup, turned off the light, went to bed, and fell asleep in his arms.

But Song Guanzhou covered his violently beating heart with his hands and kept his big eyes open.

Did I take too many pills during the day? Did they stimulate my nerves?

Just as she was listening to Pei An's soft breathing and feeling bored, Qin Qingdong's voice was heard from the courtyard gate where there was originally only the sound of rain.

"Go and wake up your young lady."

A'lu, who lived in a small house near the courtyard, rubbed his eyes and looked at the man wearing a bamboo hat, a straw raincoat and holding a lantern. He asked uncertainly, "Second Young Master?"

Qin Qingdong stepped under the corridor and lifted his bamboo hat. "Go and wake Guanzhou up. Something has happened."

Hey!

There was no need for Aru to go, as the alert Rendong and others had already lit candles in the back room.

She hastily tied her hair into a bun, without even putting on any clothes, and went out with a candle. But as soon as she opened the door, a gust of wind blew and extinguished the candle.

"Second Master, Aru, what happened?"

At this time, the guard at the gate came in in the rain, holding a child and leading a young boy. "Second Master, these two children are here. Uncle Hai went to Zhao County to do some work. After hearing about it, Second Uncle Liu said he would come to Shaohua Garden immediately to listen to the masters' instructions."

Alu also woke up from his doze at this moment. He looked at the child in the guard's arms and said with squinted eyes, "Is this Qintong?" The little girl who was rescued by the fourth young master's wife who jumped down at the Peach Blossom Banquet.

Qin Tong was soaked all over and was shivering with cold. His teeth were chattering and he couldn't say anything.

Rendong had already arranged for Zhuanggu and Mengsao to get up, light a fire and boil water, and asked Lianhua, Hehua, Qingfang and Qingfei to find clean clothes for the two children to change into.

The other one just kept silent. When Lotus spoke to him, the boy, who was only about eleven or twelve years old, just waved his hands and shook his head, and pointed at his throat. It turned out that he was a mute.

Song Guanzhou was awake to begin with, and when he heard the noise he jumped up.

Pei An was startled awake, "Is that Erlang outside?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Rendong stood in the outer room and called softly, "Young Madam, the second young master is here and said he has something important to tell you..." Song Guanzhou had disheveled hair. She casually found a handkerchief and tied it behind her head, then opened the door and came out. Pei An wanted to put a cloak on her, but he was not as fast as her.

"What's the matter?"

Qin Qingdong was taking off his straw raincoat outside the door. His robe, shoes and socks were all wet, and his hair was in a mess, apparently tied up in a hurry.

"Guan Zhou, do you have a cousin named Xu Lingqiao?"

Song Guanzhou's heart skipped a beat. "Xu Lingqiao should be Xu Lingbai's sister. She is my mother's niece, and my cousin."

Qin Qingdong shouted outside, and Zhuanggu and Mengsao, one hugging and the other holding the two timid children, brought them in.

The younger ones put on Qingfei's clothes, but they still looked too big for them, with their cuffs and trouser legs rolled up.

Under her wet hair, she had a pale face. When she saw Song Guanzhou, she burst into tears, "Madam, it was my aunt who asked Xiaohu and me to come and tell you the news."

Song Guanzhou squatted down, hugged Qin Tong, wiped her tears, and comforted her softly, "Don't cry, tell me what's wrong?"

The mute servant next to him gently pushed the boy who was still choking with sobs.

Qin Tong then said as if reciting a book, "In the number 10 of Dingzi in Qingmei Garden, there is a woman named Xu Lingqiao imprisoned. She has a brother named Xu Lingbai who is studying at Longen Academy, and a cousin named Song Guanzhou who is the wife of the fourth young master of the Zhenguo Mansion."

These words were taught to Qintong by her aunt over and over again.

"Green Plum Garden? Where is that?"

Song Guanzhou had a bad feeling in his heart. Although Aunt Qintong sold her art but not her body, she was still doing this business of welcoming people in and sending them off...
