The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 106

Pei Qiuyu did not sleep all night. She thought about it and felt that what Pei Shuyu and Mei Qingyu said made sense, so she told her aunt early this morning. But aunt Li was timid and afraid of trouble, so she advised her, "Yu'er, Xiao Cang is the eldest son of the Xiao family. The wife of the prince said that he has difficulty seeing things, but he is not blind. Maybe he is a good match."

"Auntie!"

Ever since she received the news that the marriage was about to be finalized, Aunt Li has mentioned it over and over again several times.

Pei Qiuyu was furious. "My aunt has only me as her only child, yet she doesn't think well of me. If I don't show my worth in this mansion, who will take care of you when you get old?"

"This……"

Aunt Li sighed, "The Xiao family is a big and powerful family. Although the old lady is useless now, the wife of the prince is the head. If she is willing to do this marriage, I think she likes you."

Do you like it?

As a concubine's daughter, Pei Qiuyu hated these words the most.

It was as if she was born to get that sentence, you are admired by others. She bit her lips until they turned white. "Others don't know, is it possible that the aunt is also confused? The second sister-in-law has always only valued the eldest sister. I am just a dispensable little girl in the mansion. In the past, I didn't dare to fight for it, for fear of angering my mother. But if I don't fight now, I will definitely become the wife of a useless man and my life will be ruined."

Hearing her daughter's accusation, Aunt Li sighed repeatedly and wiped her tears, "It's all Aunt's fault. You don't have a good family background. Otherwise, if you were the daughter of a noble family, you would have been married to a good family in the capital. How could you go to a place hundreds of miles away——"

Aunt Li didn't know what kind of person Xiao Cang was. She tried to find out by giving him some big coins, but the servants around Xiao were used to wealth and looked down on such small amounts of money. They no longer dared to befriend this lame aunt.

Pei Qiuyu stamped her feet, "Auntie, you always cry. When I was born in your belly, did I ever hate you? Now that the marriage has become a disaster, there is no point in you crying. You might as well think of a way. Ask the maids and old ladies you knew in the past to find out for me."

Aunt Li shrank her neck and said, "Yu'er, do you want to cancel the engagement?"

Break off the engagement?

Pei Qiuyu's small body was filled with stubbornness. "My father was unintentional, and my sister-in-law was calculating. If I don't fight for it, I will definitely not accept it."

"Can--"

Aunt Li sighed, "How many people in this mansion want to fight for it, but can they win their lives in the end?"

"——I'll go ask my fourth sister-in-law for help."

Aunt Li got up in fear and said, "Why do you want to ask her for help? She has no say in the mansion. What's the point of asking her? It's better to ask your fourth brother for help."

Prince Pei Chen is not at home. Apart from the Duke, there is only Pei An.

Pei Qiuyu had her own plans. After she asked her maid to dress up, she turned around and said to Aunt Li, "If no one in this house speaks up, I will go to my father's Zhengxian Pavilion and kneel down until he changes his mind."

"No!"

Aunt Li grabbed her daughter's slender wrist and said, "If you plot against your father like this, thinking that he will change his mind because of your behavior, I'm afraid you don't know that your father...has always hated being coerced by others...you absolutely cannot do that!"

If this were true, even if Pei Qiuyu tried to commit suicide and became a corpse, Pei Jian could still throw her to the Xiao family.

Seeing the anxious face of the aunt, Pei Qiuyu put on the last dark blue bird hairpin with silver edges and comforted the aunt, "I will go and ask the fourth sister-in-law first. Have you forgotten that the day before Aunt Fang was sent away, she asked my mother and me to sit with her. There was a table of food, and my mother and I ate with trepidation, but she coaxed my father to open his mouth."

"But..., I'm afraid she doesn't want to interfere in your marriage."

They didn't have much of a relationship before. Pei Qiuyu sighed quietly, "She stole the show at the Peach Blossom Banquet and was valued by my father. During the few days she was recovering from her injuries, my father probably moved half of the treasures in his private vault to reward her. I went to ask her to lend a hand because of my pity."

A look of despair in which one has to do everything possible and leave the rest to fate.

Aunt Li looked at her delicate daughter and suddenly could no longer hold back, she hugged her in her arms and started crying.

"Yu'er, mother is reluctant to let you go. If you marry in the capital, we will be your daughters. You can come to the mansion for big and small things, and mother can see it. But if you really go to the Xiao family, mother will see you a few times in this life. Well, mother will go with you."

She walked with a limp, one foot high and one foot low.

Pei Qiuyu couldn't bear it, "Auntie won't go, I'll go."

"No, I'll go with you."

The mother and daughter supported each other and came to Shaohua Garden. Lianhua's shout startled Pei Qiuyu who was hesitating at the door, and even frightened Aunt Li who was behind her so much that she stumbled.

When Jin Dong heard this, she complained in a low voice, "I'm just recovering from my injuries, why is this guy coming too? And that guy too..."

Song Guanzhou remained calm and asked Rendong to welcome him in.

Pei Qiuyu supported Aunt Li. Both mother and daughter were dressed simply. The fabrics of their clothes were still luxurious, but the accessories on their heads and bodies were much plainer. Aunt Li was wearing an ochre long-sleeved bodice. She limped forward and saluted with a smile, "My concubine greets the Fourth Young Master's wife." Pei Qiuyu followed and bowed deeply.

Song Guanzhou quickly invited them to sit down, "Aunt and sister, please don't be polite, sit down and talk."

The maids had already brought in chairs and were serving tea.

Aunt Li looked at the Shaohua Garden, which had changed a lot, with envy in her eyes, "The Fourth Young Master's wife really knows how to live. This courtyard is elegant and quiet."

Just making small talk.

Song Guanzhou took a sip of tea and spoke stiffly to the mother and daughter about visiting a patient.

After the whole process was completed, awkwardness spread among the three people. After a long time, Aunt Li stood up and bowed to Song Guanzhou, "Please, Madam, have mercy on the second young lady."

what?

Song Guanzhou was a little dumbfounded. Fortunately, Ren Dong was smart and stayed by her side, paying attention to what was going on here all the time. Seeing that Aunt Li was about to kneel down, she hurried over to support Aunt Li, "Aunt, please don't do that. Our young lady is young and can't bear it."

Aunt Li stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Please, Madam, have mercy on the second young lady."

Song Guanzhou's heart was beating fast. She knew that no one would come here for no reason. She immediately became wary of what the mother and daughter were up to.

"Aunt, don't be like this. Let's close the door and talk as a family. There's no need to cry. It's bad for your health if you stay in the spotlight." After Song Guanzhou finished speaking, he winked at Rendong. Zhuanggu, who came to deliver the freshly made snacks and fruits, also lent a hand and pushed the two of them onto the chairs and sat them upright.

This……

Aunt Li's sobs were stuck in her throat, and it was difficult to speak out and swallow them.

After a long time, she whispered, "Young Madam, please forgive me for my misbehavior. It's really the Second Miss..."

Omg!

That’s what I said…!

Song Guanzhou stared at the mother and daughter in front of him with his big watery eyes. Pei Qiuyu originally wanted to act as a aunt and show pity to Song Guanzhou, but when she wanted to take a peek at him, she bumped straight into these two clear springs and felt uncomfortable all over.
