The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 458

Pei Jian raised his hand, and Pei Hai took out the palm-sized lacquer box and handed it to him with both hands. Pei Jian looked at the mini bronze lock and asked, "Key?"

Pei Hai looked around and shook his head, "I haven't seen it. Please take a look, sir. Is it at the bottom of the box?"

However, Pei Jian looked everywhere but couldn't find it.

Little did he know that Xiao Yinxiu, who was standing behind him, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. What does Jin Fuyun want to do? He clearly said that he didn't need to send her off. What was he doing now?

Pei Jian turned the box around without even looking at it, and handed it to Pei Chen, "Show it to Xiu. Did you buy it?"

After that, he bent down and looked at the things in the box, "Dahai, hand me the gold bricks. How is the quality?"

Pei Hai raised a piece with both hands and handed it to Pei Jian, "Sir, be careful, it's heavy, it's of good quality, about two taels."

Pei Jian took it with one hand and exerted force with his wrist. It was indeed heavy.

"A Xiu, you can't buy gold bricks..."

When Xiao Yinxiu saw the lacquer box, she knew it was sent by Jin Fuyun, but she never expected that Jin Fuyun had actually put three gold bricks in it today.

These yellow and white things made her speechless.

Pei Chen didn't know why. He looked over and over again, knocking and banging but couldn't find the place where he put the key. "No key? Was it a gift?"

Looking at Xiao Yinxiu, "It's not a festival, I'm afraid this is a bit expensive."

Xiao Yinxiu looked unhappy, but she always had a sad face, so it was hard to tell what she was thinking. Pei Chen saw that she didn't know, so he turned around and handed it to Qin Qingdong, "Erlang, take a look. This thing is weird. Can you open it?"

Qin Qingdong took it and was about to think about it carefully.

Song Guanzhou came up with a bad idea, "Find a dagger and pry it open. Judging from the items sent, most of them are what girls like, so there shouldn't be anything confidential."

She was leaning on a crutch, looking around.

"Could it be for me?"

Qin Qingdong sneered, "How is that possible? Do you have any personal connections that deserve this treatment?" Song Guanzhou snorted and said, "What Xiao Cang sent was much more generous than this."

Xiao Cang...

Xiao Yinxiu felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this. Her good-for-nothing brother now sent gifts to Song Guanzhou every month, big or small, expensive or ordinary. He totally ignored his uncle and aunt in the mansion, and himself, his eldest sister.

Every time, they would ask one of the brothers Mu Er and Mu San to come and escort the car...

She was so angry that she couldn't even speak complete words.

And now the Song family still dares to bring it up, they are truly shameless.

Because of Song Guanzhou's interruption, Xiao Yinxiu didn't see her uncle's face gradually darken. When she looked over again, Pei Jian suddenly threw the gold brick into the box, causing the already broken porcelain pieces to crackle.

Xiao Yinxiu shuddered.

Shuangyue was very cautious and didn't dare to look at her mistress's face.

"Linxi!"

"Master, I am here."

"Pry open that lacquer box! I want to take a look at what's going on!" His tone was sharp and disdainful, and a pair of eyes that had seen too many things fall apart flashed a cold light.

After hearing this, Xiao Yinxiu's body swayed a few times. Shuangyue hurriedly helped her up and took up most of her weight.

"lady--"

Shuangyue lowered her voice and called out softly, intending to make Xiao Yinxiu perk up and not let anyone see any clues. Miss Jin had given gifts many times, and this type of lacquer box was rarely used by others.

Linxi followed the instructions and drew out his dagger from his waist. Qin Qingdong handed the lacquer box over to him. Several people stood outside and watched Linxi poke around with his dagger.

It took no effort. With a click, the small bronze lock pin was pushed open and tilted to one side.

Linxi opened it gently and saw only an exquisite hairpin flower and a double-folded letter. "Master..." Linxi held the box with both hands and handed it to Pei Jian for inspection.

Pei Jian's face and eyes were cold and frosty at this moment. He took the letter lightly, opened it and glanced at it quickly. Xiao Yinxiu saw the corners of his lips curved up and sneered, "When the women of the mansion go out to burn incense, our prince's wife will inform the eldest daughter of the Jin family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yinxiu knelt down with a plop.

"Father, please allow me to report this... My daughter-in-law and the eldest daughter of the Jin family are just casual acquaintances."

Just an acquaintance?

Gold bricks and porcelain? We can ignore the other brocades and silks, but it can be seen that they are all extraordinary.

It was really inappropriate for the wife of a prince to kneel beside the flower bed. Pei Jian snorted coldly and asked Pei Hai to carry the box and go to Zhengxian Pavilion.

Xiao Yinxiu could hardly stand up. Pei Chen was almost angry at this moment, pointing at her and saying, "Are you scared now? I was wondering why the thieves chose the 28th to rob and kill people at Longen Temple, and specifically chased after Guan Zhou who had a lame leg. It seems that there is a thief inside!"

That's too harsh.

Xiao Yinxiu raised his head, "Your Highness, don't say that. I have never disregarded the lives of the two women in the mansion. This is probably a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstand?"

Pei Chen looked at his father walking away, and followed Pei Hai who was standing beside him calmly, "Come on, your father is giving you face by not asking questions here, you should also have some dignity!"

After saying that, he stamped his feet and trotted to catch up with his father.

Qin Qingdong glanced at Xiao Yinxiu and then at Song Guanzhou, but unexpectedly the latter was blinking and staring at him.

Song Guanzhou would definitely not join in on such affairs.

It was even more impossible for Qin Qingdong to follow. The two of them took Ren Dong back to Shaohua Garden. As soon as they entered the door, Song Guanzhou stood in front of the door, raised his cane and pointed it directly at Qin Qingdong's chest, "What do you know? Tell me!"

"Don't lie to me, I don't know anything."

Qin Qingdong was very agile. He jumped around her and onto the veranda. He walked a few steps to the flower stand and said to the maids who were arranging the dishes, "The dishes today are good. They look like they suit my taste."

Xu Lingqiao was no longer shy and said boldly, "Then the Second Young Master should eat more."

Mrs. Meng brought up the last soup dish and explained the truth, "Today's meals were all made by my cousin herself in the small kitchen. She said it was the old county style."

Hey!

Qin Qingdong sat down and after a closer look, he praised, "My cousin's cooking skills are excellent. I haven't even eaten yet and I'm already drooling."

Xu Ling lowered her pretty eyebrows and said, "It's because the Second Young Master doesn't mind."

Song Guanzhou, leaning on his crutches, and Rendong also came up to him, "Sister, my cousin is alone today, I'm afraid he doesn't need it. Qingfang, go and invite him."

The little maid happily responded and ran towards Rongfuyuan.

Xu Lingqiao shook his head, "I'm afraid my brother has used it. Guan Zhou, you are always thinking about this nerd."

Song Guanzhou took her arm and sat down with her. "Don't talk about our future Mr. Xu. My father has a large collection of books, and my cousin likes to read them carefully. This is a great thing."

Now that Xu Lingbai has achieved fame, he is waiting for the grand banquet to announce the achievements, and then for the imperial court to appoint him as an official.

When he had nothing to do, apart from the occasional invitations from his classmates in the capital, he spent more time reading, reading the tens of thousands of volumes left by his uncle.

Not long after, Xu Lingbai and Xiao Bei arrived together.

"I heard that this is the old county style, so I am shameless enough to come and have a meal. Please don't laugh at me while watching the boat."
