The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 122

"Forget it, just take it one step at a time."

Caizhu helped her wash and take off her hairpins. "I've never known such a difficult mistress to serve. The old lady has stained so many lives, but she was born into a good family. Now the Duke doesn't dare to divorce her. Our prince's wife is also from the same family. People outside say that she is much kinder and gentler than her aunt, but in my opinion, it's just a trick. She is very narrow-minded."

"Colored beads!"

Qiao Niang had been tired all night and was very unhappy when she heard Cai Zhu's complaints.

"Although there are only my master and I in the room, it is inevitable that others will hear it. If the lady knows, she will punish me again."

Caizhu stuck out her tongue and said cautiously, "What time is it now? Everyone outside is asleep."

Qiao Niang rubbed her sore neck and shoulders, and couldn't help sighing, "Don't talk about this. Aunt Fang died so tragically, and you even went to see her off at the funeral. Have you forgotten?"

Caizhu couldn't help but feel annoyed when she mentioned this. "I sent honeysuckle and lotus flowers from the Fourth Young Master's wife's room. She praised them for their loyalty. But I felt sorry for Sister Jinzhu and Aunt Fang. I only went to see them quietly. I didn't even shed a tear. When I came back, I got a good beating from Aunt Chu."

She touched her body and it seemed like she was still in pain.

"We are both masters, but my wife is petty-minded. No wonder the prince is displeased."

"shut up!"

Qiao Niang couldn't help it any longer and scolded her a few times. Finally, Cai Zhu hummed reluctantly, "I am also thinking about you, Auntie. If you don't get the prince to have a child, and he has other lovers in the future, how will you deal with it, Auntie?"

How, how not!

Being alive is the most important thing. She turned around and pinched Caizhu's mouth, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. In a few days, some masters and servants will come from the Madam's family. You should be careful then, otherwise you will die without knowing how."

Caizhu was stunned. "Someone from the Xiao family? Are they here to propose marriage?"

Qiaoniang had been feeling unwell these past few days. Apart from paying respects to Xiao Yinxiu in the morning and evening, she usually slept in her room. She was not happy to hear any news. "What marriage proposal?"

Caizhu let out an "oh" and her eyes lit up.

"My aunt, you really are oblivious to what is happening outside. It has been all over the news yesterday and today. Originally, our mistress wanted to marry the second daughter to her brother from her natal family, but the second daughter despised the blind young master of the Xiao family, so she went to the fourth young master's wife and cried, but was chased out by her."

Caizhu said with gloating, "A few days ago, the Second Miss asked her sister Wanxia to push me, and I spilled the sugar water Qingxin tea I asked for you. She acted arrogantly in front of me, but the Fourth Young Master's wife ignored her and directly asked the maids to throw her and Aunt Li out."

Song Guanzhou: It was just an ordinary farewell, how did it become such a weird story?

Qiao Niang frowned and said worriedly, "How can the second young lady be so confused? I used to serve the young master of the Xiao family with poor eyesight. I heard a few things about him. They said that the young master was a good person with good talent, but he couldn't see. Once it got dark, he couldn't walk alone. But considering the second young lady's illegitimate status, she is marrying up."

Caizhu nodded, "Who said it wasn't? I went to the kitchen today and heard the maids talking when I passed the second gate. But after the second lady made such a fuss, if the Xiao family really came to propose marriage, seeing her soft personality, would she dare to refuse the marriage on the spot?"

"Of course I don't dare."

Qiao Niang stopped thinking about investigating these rumors and told Caizhu to keep her mouth shut and not gossip about them with others. She thought about her future plans and realized that the women from the Xiao family who were the mistresses in this mansion were more cruel than the other.

She thought more and more, and when the midnight drum struck, she was still tossing and turning.

She thought, how can she not be reborn? If she became the master, why would she need to be so cautious as she is now? Qiao Niang was born as the daughter of a minor official. Her father's career was not going well. He was framed by villains and died of anger in the government office.

Afterwards, he was plotted against by his clansmen and ended up with nothing in his house.

The mother took care of her younger brother, unable to carry anything, and was about to lose her livelihood. However, a matchmaker took a fancy to her and brought her to Pei Chen through introductions.

Today, my mother and younger brother live in Beijing, depending on her for their daily life.

Therefore, life and death cannot be decided by her...

After sending the concubine away, Xiao Yinxiu did not feel relieved at all. She curled up on the bed and dozed off. After a long time, she called out, "Aunt..."

Aunt Chu put down the fan in her hand and replied softly, "Madam, I am here."

"What do you think of Yinhui?"

Xiao Yinhui, the second daughter of the third branch of the Xiao family, was the only child left by Xiao's third uncle's second wife. The second wife later fell ill and passed away in a hurry, so the third uncle remarried the third wife.

This Xiao Yinhui, both in appearance and demeanor, looks like the reincarnation of a young lady.

——It looks good.

Aunt Chu is a servant girl from the Xiao family. Her family was the concubines of the Duke's wife. After the Third Young Master got into trouble, her parents and brother and sister-in-law were all beaten to death in private. Now she is the only one left.

As for Xiao Yinhui, she had naturally seen him before.

"The Sixth Miss is good-looking and gentle, which is good."

Aunt Chu couldn't explain what the lady was thinking, so she could only answer in a conventional way. Xiao Yinxiu turned over and looked at Aunt Chu, "She is not very old now. I remember she is the same age as Qiuyu. Why not -"

Xiao Yinxiu was a little hesitant.

"Madam, please tell me. Don't you know my personality? As long as you tell me, I won't say a word even if I die."

Xiao Yinxiu naturally knew.

She called Aunt Chu to her ear and whispered a few words.

Aunt Chu looked puzzled and a little shocked. "I'm afraid it's - no. In our dynasty and generation, there is no concept of a concubine."

"Since Song is infertile, she was brought in as a concubine. I don't think Third Uncle will refuse."

Pei An is now both talented and handsome. The Xiao family had considered this idea in the past, but unfortunately there was no girl of the right age in the Xiao family at that time, and Song Wenqi had a noble status. Other families who wanted to marry into the family could not compete with Song Wenqi.

Now, isn't this a good opportunity?

Aunt Chu shook her head. "This matter has just come out. I think the relationship between the Fourth Young Master and the Fourth Young Master's wife has improved a lot because of the accident of falling into the water at the Peach Blossom Banquet. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Madam to rashly act as a matchmaker."

Xiao Yinxiu sneered, "I'm not a fool. Pei An is really into my fourth brother's wife right now. If I get involved, I'll do more harm than good. I just had this idea. If you think it's feasible, when Third Uncle comes over this time, I'll discuss it with Father and Third Uncle."

"But - the Fourth Young Master's wife has a violent temper. She can't even tolerate a prostitute like Zhu Baoyue, let alone this blatant concubine."

Xiao Yinxiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yinhui is still young, who can predict the future? Besides, I have never seen a man in this world who is faithful to one woman."

Ah!
