The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 475

When she thought of this, she wondered whether she was going to live or die. Fortunately, her three half-sisters came and supported her and tried to persuade her. After she reluctantly sat down, she still couldn't hide her sadness.

She was originally marrying down, to her second cousin from her uncle's family.

She never expected that her second cousin would send someone to deliver a letter to her, humiliating her so severely that all the affection they had in their childhood was gone, let alone the continuation of the marriage.

She held the letter in her hands and cried for several days and nights, wondering why her life was so miserable.

Thinking about someone who can't do it, it's like having an illusory dream. She turned around and followed her mother's plan to go to the Xiao family. She never thought that the Xiao family was so unbearable and looked down on her...

After several rounds of negotiations, my father and uncle finally made the decision and chose my second cousin.

Who would have thought it would be so useless?

Pei Shuyu thought of this, tears fell like beads from a broken string, wetting her clothes, but she couldn't help sobbing. The third daughter of the Pei family also shed tears when she saw her elder sister was so sad.

"My sister has always been on good terms with my uncle's family, but my cousin still ignored her and wrote such a letter. For people of humble status like me, wouldn't my husband's family take us even less seriously? In this world, how can we women be treated so harshly?"

Just as she was crying loudly, Pei Shuyu's maid Hongxiu rushed in, ignoring the woman's quietness and walking quickly, "Miss, the eldest and fourth young masters' wives are here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Shuyu stood up, looking reluctant, "Are you here to laugh at me?"

Hong Xiu stamped her feet and said, "Oh my girl, why did I come here to laugh at your joke? Now the Fourth Young Master's wife is furious and ordered the servants and guards to tie up the thieves and the matchmaker in the courtyard in front of the main hall and beat them with sticks."

"Ok?"

Not to mention that Pei Shuyu couldn't hear clearly, the three sisters beside her also helped each other to stand up and looked at Hongxiu, "Sister Hongxiu, please tell me the truth. Did you beat that bastard with the stick?"

Hongxiu was running out of breath. Pei Shuyu quickly took her cup and poured hot tea. "Eat it quickly so that you can tell us what happened."

Her father and eldest brother are not here today, and her sister-in-law has always been docile. She is afraid that her mother will ignore her for the sake of the family's reputation.

Listening to it now, it feels like a dream.

Hong Xiu was not polite. She took the tea from the girl and drank it in one gulp. Then she said, "The Fourth Young Lady got angry after she said a few words. She tied up the dissolute thief and the captain of the guards. She interrogated the matchmaker for a few words, but the matchmaker denied it. She was so angry that our young lady and the wife almost fainted. But the Fourth Young Lady was not afraid at all. She was too lazy to listen to her nonsense and sent people to hold her down and beat her."

Well - so barbaric!

"Fourth sister-in-law - what did you say?"

Hongxiu pulled the girl, her eyes misty with tears, "Don't be afraid, girl. The young mistress said that the bastard wanted to plot against our girl. He got a hairpin and dared to come to our house to blackmail her. He deserves death. She also asked Alu to work with the second housekeeper in the mansion to wipe out those who said bad things about the girl."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuyu was happy at first, feeling that he had gotten rid of his anger.

Then she became sad again, "Since Fourth Sister-in-law is in such a mess, how can I discuss marriage in the future?" After saying that, she fell on the desk and cried bitterly. Hongxiu hurriedly comforted the girl, "Don't be so sad, my good girl, the Fourth Young Master's wife doesn't recognize her at all. Teaching those gossipers a lesson is just to restore the reputation of the mansion."

Pei Shuyu is not the only girl in the mansion, so just refuse to acknowledge her.

In the main hall, Mrs. Mei listened to the sound of the board and the three people's muffled groans outside, and was a little frightened, "Guan Zhou, is there going to be a death?"

After all, he was a captain of the imperial guards and had a rank.

Song Guanzhou took Mrs. Mei's cold hand and patted it gently. "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I won't let these villains mess up the feng shui of our house. But they saw that Second Uncle and Big Brother Hua were not at home, and they dared to blackmail our girl like this. I will not allow it."

"Good boy, it's a good thing that you and your sister-in-law came to help, otherwise this family of scoundrels would have made a scene in front of the mansion and it would have been really unbearable."

When she said this, her heartache for her daughter was beyond words. She wiped the moisture from her eyes and said, "I feel sorry for your sister. I don't know what that bastard did to make my nephew from my mother's family want to cancel the engagement—"

"No problem, just drag him in and ask him."

After hearing what Song Guanzhou said, Ren Dong walked out calmly, "Young Madam has ordered that we bring them in for questioning one by one. If they still refuse to speak out, we will send them directly to the authorities. By the way, Young Madam said that this lieutenant of the guards is not in the city to guard the city, so he must be suspected of dereliction of duty. Before sending them to the authorities, we will ask the commander of the guards, Lord Ji, to come."

The lieutenant commander of the imperial guards was a high-ranking official of the third rank.

When Tu Da heard this, he was stunned.

Then the scarred maid said, "Don't beat him until he loses consciousness, otherwise people will say we have forced him to confess. He will be tried after he is sent to the authorities. I think he is just an eighth-rank official and would not dare to show off in front of the mansion. He must have someone behind him."

backing--

When Tu Da heard this, he tilted his head and fainted.

Alu went forward to check, "Well, he is useless. He has fainted three times before he was beaten forty times. Someone, throw more water on him." He turned to look at Zheng Zhuo, whose face was stained horribly, with tears, sweat and snot mixed together. Alu felt sick at the sight, "Hurry up, someone pour a basin of water to wash off the dirt on his body, don't offend the master."

After saying that, he looked at the three people and asked, "Who should I take in first?"

Honeysuckle looked at Aru righteously, "Our young lady is fair and just, and what she says is true and useful. Maybe her merits and demerits will offset each other, and that's it."

A'lu frowned, "That's right, there is no such thing as saying less. Young Madam will never forgive those who bully our Pei family like this."

After saying this, he pretended to whisper to Honeysuckle, but in fact everyone present heard it clearly.

"A few days ago, the palace came to commend our young lady for her courage and wisdom. Didn't those two thieves in Longen Temple die at her hands? Today, the young lady was merciful and only let us give her a few strokes of the board. Otherwise, I will see that insulting the reputation of our young lady is tantamount to murder and she deserves death!"

The two of them were talking to each other excitedly.

Until Lianhua came out, "Young Madam asked why it couldn't be carried in. Are you unwilling to tell me? Then hurry up and send it to the official before the sun sets!"

Lotus has a loud and intimidating voice.

When Alu heard this, he quickly signaled to Linxi, grabbed Zheng Zhuo and dragged him inside. Zheng Zhuo no longer looked like the scholar he was when he came. His butt was covered in blood, and his legs were swollen, so he couldn't walk at all.

Fortunately, the servants and guards were considerate, especially Linxi, who called a sturdy man, and carried Zheng Zhuo to the main hall with both hands.

When it reached the middle, he threw it to the ground, and Zheng Zhuo began to tremble with pain all over.

He wanted to wail, but his mouth was still stuffed with a disgusting ball of rag.

Until Song Guanzhou came up to him holding a palm-leaf fan that didn't match his luxurious clothes at all, and he lowered himself to look at Zheng Zhuo who was kneeling on the ground, "Ah! Men don't shed tears easily! What are you afraid of?"
