The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 1370

Upon hearing this, Panxi immediately realized something was wrong. "How did you let her steal the invitation?"

Panlan looked helpless. "I was no match for her and her maids and servants. Besides, she was very quick to act. She mocked me and then returned the mockery with harsh words. I was only able to escape because I was ridiculed."

Wen Si spoke loudly, as if afraid others wouldn't know, and asked Pan Lan until she blushed, before throwing back the invitation and letting her off the hook.

"I was too ashamed to hand it to the gatekeeper, so I had to slink back."

The young maids were clumsy and only dared to hide behind them, not daring to speak. When they returned to the villa, the two of them talked and realized that things were different now.

Pan Xi said with resentment, "When the eldest daughter becomes the princess consort, I'll see who dares to look down on us like this. What is that fourth Miss Wen? How dare she mock our young lady like this?"

"Alright, alright, let's not make things difficult for ourselves. We'll go and report to the young lady later."

I was filled with unease. Today, the young lady's temper had become even more volatile, and I feared she couldn't bear such humiliation.

Sure enough, Jin Fuyun was furious as soon as she heard Panlan say that she had encountered Wen Si in front of the Qin residence. She pointed at Panlan and asked, "Aren't you usually the most clever? How come you can't even protect a servant? She said something to you, so just go back to her. I'll support you. What are you afraid of?"

Panlan had no choice but to kneel before him and apologize in a low voice, "I am foolish and cannot fight against four people with my bare hands."

"Bastard!"

Jin Fuyun felt that everything was going wrong. "She's just a lowly fourth-grade civil official, yet she dares to show off in front of me. She'll suffer for it in the future!"

She knew that the Wen and Qin families were planning to arrange a marriage between them, just as they had in previous lives.

But Wen Si did not marry Qin Er, and Qin Er died alone on the battlefield after several lifetimes.

This is his fate!

But Wen Si wasn't much better. She was naturally fiery, but she ended up marrying a violent husband. The two of them fought and argued every day. Jin Fuyun thought about it carefully and realized that this woman, who seemed unruly now, would eventually end up like Qin Er.

She died during her postpartum period.

Who are you trying to impress with your arrogance now? Jin Fuyun found solace in her memories, and her worries subsided. She turned to ask Panxi, who only said that Pei An had accepted the invitation.

As for whether to go or not, she considered it carefully and chose the most flattering answer.

"The Fourth Young Master said that your wedding day with Prince Yong is approaching, and you must be very busy. Old Master Jiang and the Second Young Master Qin are keeping an eye on things, so you can rest assured."

A few words plunged Jin Fuyun's hard-won composure into an icy abyss.

She waved her hand, dismissing the two maids. Seeing this, Panxi quickly added, "While I was waiting for the Fourth Young Master, I chatted with Aru for a bit. He said that the wife of the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion dislikes Song Shi very much."

"Why do you dislike it?"

Panxi couldn't explain, but she described Aru's situation at the time: "He was scratching his head, saying he couldn't understand why, even though Madam Song had saved her two sons, and also her brothers from her maternal family, she still couldn't win the favor of the young master's wife—"

That's natural.

If Xiao Yinxiu hadn't been born into the Xiao family and hadn't been married to Pei Chen, with that stupid and clumsy brain of hers, what kind of affairs could she possibly understand?

But then she thought, if she disliked Song Guanzhou, why couldn't she use him for her own purposes...?

"The cups and saucers I sent you a while ago, were they correct?"

Panxi and the other woman quickly bowed and replied, "They've all been delivered. The young master's wife also replied, saying thank you. She also said that she would definitely invite you to her house for a drink on her birthday another day."

"it is good!"

Now that Yu Cheng is not by her side, and she has been reprimanded by Qin Er, she dares not act rashly. The people she used to bribe in the Duke's mansion now seem to be useless.

Especially the pleasurable and orchids in front of me...

She knew in her heart that it was becoming increasingly difficult to get rid of the marriage with He Jiang, so she had to find another way!

The two women breathed a sigh of relief, having escaped a beating. After leaving the house, they couldn't help but huddle together and whisper among themselves. Panlan said in a low voice, "What exactly is the eldest young lady up to? Now that we've come to realize that the Fourth Young Master and the Fourth Young Mistress are quite loving, and she should be matched with Prince Yong, what more trouble is there to cause?"

Panxi poked her forehead, "You've got such a good head, yet you still don't understand what a young lady is thinking?"

Hearing this, Panlan pulled Panxi aside to a secluded spot and pressed her for details, "What exactly are you thinking? When we were still working at the Duke's mansion, the eldest young lady herself said that the fourth young mistress's temperament would cause trouble for the fourth young master, and that we should lead her to make a scene as soon as possible so that the fourth young master could make a decision..."

"Why don't you think about why the eldest young lady always puts the fourth young master first?"

Panlan suddenly froze. "I did have my doubts, but the young lady always told me that she and the Fourth Young Master were close friends and that she couldn't tolerate anything being tainted."

Panxi found a bouncy chair with a tael of silver and lazily sat down. "I knew long ago that the eldest young lady's heart was entirely with the fourth young master. But what can she do now that the fourth young master already has a fourth young mistress? She can't very well become a concubine..."

"That's impossible."

"That day, when Qin Er came and argued with our eldest daughter, I overheard a few words outside. It was roughly like this: Qin Er figured out what the eldest daughter was thinking, scolded her for being delusional, and said she was not allowed to have any designs on the Song family..."

"Could it be..."

Upon hearing Panxi's words, a chill ran down Panlan's spine: "...The eldest young lady intends to take her place?"

Panxi lowered her head and said, "That's natural. Although I don't understand what kind of bewitching elixir the young lady took to insist on going to the Fourth Young Master, now that we're talking about Prince Yong, his status is only more noble than the Fourth Young Master's, and his appearance is no less impressive."

Panlan shook her head immediately after hearing this.

"How could they replace her? Even when the Fourth Young Mistress wrecked the Full Moon Pavilion before, the Fourth Young Master never mentioned divorcing her—"

Panxi sneered, "Find another way, huh? The eldest young lady is ruthless, as you've seen. Zhu San and Suohong lost their lives so inexplicably, what about Song Shi?"

At this point, she sighed softly, "Let's not call her Fourth Young Mistress anymore. She was heartless enough to kick us out back then, so why should we still care about her? Now that we've been taken in by the Eldest Young Mistress and have a meal to eat, we should naturally be of one mind with her. She's not going to make a difference either way. If we serve her carefully, we can manage."

Upon hearing this, Panlan suddenly understood everything that had been unclear in the past.

After much deliberation, he leaned close to Panxi's ear and whispered, "The eldest young lady looks down on my sister and me every day. Perhaps it's because we haven't figured out her intentions. Why don't we find a day to expose all this? If the eldest young lady still has her heart set on the Duke's mansion, we might as well go all out and put in some effort to fight for our future."

Panxi scoffed, "What future could we possibly have? You and I are just servants who wash people's faces and feet, what future could we possibly have?"

Panlan sat up straight and said decisively, "Sister, why don't we get rid of this lowly status, become ordinary people, and marry a wealthy man from the city? It would be better than being forced to share a bed with someone else and suffering injustice like this!"
