The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 443

When she entered Rongfu Garden, she heard that her brother was still drunk and sleeping. She went to check on him and then went back to her own bedroom.

"Lotus, I have nothing to do right now, go and look at the lotus flowers. I'll take a nap first, you can watch the time and call me when it's almost time."

Lianhua looked at her cousin's face which was full of disappointment and felt a little worried.

"Girl, are you suffering from heat stroke?"

Xu Lingqiao nodded slightly, "I'm afraid I've been sitting on the flower stand for too long and I feel a little dizzy. It's okay, let me rest for a while."

Lianhua thought that when the young lady fell asleep, her cousin was just reading a book and didn't take a nap. Fortunately, there was still some time before the banquet in the evening, so she could get a good sleep.

He helped Xu Lingqiao take off her outer clothes, shoes and socks, and let her lie down on the soft bed. Then he put down the gauze curtain embroidered with green bamboos with silver thread, closed the doors and windows, and left quietly.

Xu Lingqiao used her last bit of strength to send Lianhua away. When she heard the door close from the outside, she bit the back of her hand and burst into tears.

Tears as big as beans fell down, and soon the pillowcase was wet.

She couldn't hold back her sobs, which was very much like the helplessness of being exiled. She really shouldn't have expected such a thing. There was no such thing as a good life waiting for her...

Since she lost her virginity, she should have given up the idea of ​​getting married.

It was just a few light words from the man, but she almost lost her composure. Xu Lingqiao felt regretful and resentful. She found the blood jade flower pouch with a carved crabapple pattern from under the bed. She wanted to smash it to pieces, but she couldn't bear to do so. She held it in her hand and rubbed it several times, letting her big tears wash the blood jade.

Bad fate!

Then she cried and laughed. What kind of fate was this? This was her disaster.

That's it!

She cried for a long time, then cheered up and soaked her whole face in the wooden basin. She thought, I don't want to live anymore.

When she was out of breath, she took a deep breath, and the memory of falling into the Huang family pond and thinking about it came back to her.

live!

What she should think about is staying alive. Now that Guanzhou has provided shelter for her and her brother and sister, she shouldn't have any other thoughts.

I tried to convince myself again and again, but I broke down again and again.

She stood in front of the wooden basin stand, crying for a while, laughing for a while, like a madman who was not in his right mind. In the eyes of outsiders, she was dignified and gentle, with a soft and gentle temperament, but in fact, this was her Xu Lingqiao.

As time passed, she hid in the house, trapped in her own pain, unable to escape.

Until Joy knocked on the door, "Girl, are you awake?"

She stood in front of the basin in a daze, her clothes on her chest soaked. She was not able to respond to Xile outside, so she knocked on the door harder, "Cousin, I'm afraid the feast is about to start, are you awake?"

Reality pulled her back and she fell to the ground, weak and powerless.

It was not until Lianhua knocked on the door that Xu Lingqiao weakly called out, "Lianhua, come in." Xile outside stuck out her tongue, "Is it because the girl dislikes my clumsiness, Sister Lianhua?"

"Go and see if the cousin has woken up. Help Xi'er and help him get up."

Zi Peijian will be coming to drink soon, so there is no time to waste. Xile heard this and went to her cousin's bedroom. She wanted to run, but Lianhua scolded her several times, and she finally changed her bad habit of being in a hurry.

After sending Xile away, Lianhua pushed the door open quietly and walked in.

Walking around the screen, he immediately saw his cousin sitting on the ground with her head down and not saying a word. He immediately went forward to help her up and asked, "What happened to you, girl?"

"I got up in a hurry and washed my face with cold water. I'm afraid it irritated me and made my legs and feet weak."

Lianhua was a little worried. "I asked Doctor Zhao to come take a look. He was afraid that the heat was too strong. I asked him to prescribe some herbs. I will boil a dose and take it and it will be better."

"No need for now."

She asked Lianhua to find clean clothes, changed her wet clothes, washed her face, combed her hair again, and put on jewelry. Especially when she lightly applied lip balm on her lips, she sipped them a few times and looked into the bronze mirror. She was the living Xu Lingqiao again.

Because of her cousin's glory, she also benefited a lot.

The food, clothing and daily expenses are all of high quality. Clothes make the man, and after dressing up, she is also a graceful lady. Thinking of this, she smiled at herself in the mirror, Xu Lingqiao, you are a little unsatisfied.

After swallowing all the bitterness, she went out with Lotus. The setting sun fell right at her feet. She wore soft-soled embroidered bow shoes and watched the light shining brightly between the hem of her skirt. It was so beautiful.

It felt like a huge stone had been lifted from my heart.

It's better this way, to give up the thought, than to have expectations and longings day and night. It's like starting life all over again, enduring the pain and letting go of all obsessions.

Because Xu Lingbai had achieved fame and honor, Pei Jian also gave him a lot of rewards, which could be considered as support for the young man.

Pei Chen and his wife Xiao Yinxiu also came to the banquet. Unlike Pei Chen who invited a few men to drink, Xiao Yinxiu was much quieter than usual. She also brought a gift, which was neither too big nor too small, and just right for the occasion.

To celebrate, Qin Qingdong specially asked Chun Ge to go back to his house and get two paintings and a pair of vases, which had good meanings. It was the first time for Xu Lingqiao to receive such expensive gifts, so she was quite flustered.

I wanted to ask Song Guanzhou, but I knew she didn't understand much. Fortunately, Rendong was there to help me clean up and thank me.

At the small banquet, everyone seemed happy and peaceful, but in fact, everyone had their own concerns. After the small banquet, Xiao Yinxiu and Xu Lingqiao said a few words of congratulations to the guests, and then returned to the main room with a gloomy look.

As soon as I walked into the inner room, I saw a lacquer box that the servant secretly brought in. It was one foot long, half a foot wide, and about half a foot high.

There was a secret lock on it, and it just lay flat on the kang table.

Shuang Yue came up to her and knelt down and said, "Madam, this was sent by the eldest lady."

Xiao Yinxiu looked at the lacquer box coldly, not wanting to speak. When Shuangyue's knees were so sore that she couldn't bear it any longer, she heard Xiao Yinxiu say coldly, "Go back."

"return to?"

Xiao Yinxiu turned her head away and said, "Don't accept these things in the future. Send a message and say that she and I wish we were real sisters, but the household affairs are complicated and I have no ability, so I neglected the eldest lady. I am very ashamed."

Shuangyue listened and recited it silently several times before she prepared to leave with the lacquer box.

Xiao Yinxiu suddenly changed his mind, "Did the person who brought it here say anything?" Shuangyue hurriedly stopped and walked over to him. When there was no one around, she whispered, "He only said that it was to replenish your body, and he didn't say much else."

To replenish the body?

Xiao Yinxiu is still in good health now. If she wants to make up for it... She suddenly came to her senses and told Shuangyue, "Open it and take a look."

Aunt Chu just came in with a cup of hot tea and tried to avoid them when she saw this.

Xiao Yinxiu waved her hand and asked her to lift the beaded curtain and go in. "Why do you have to hide? When have I ever avoided you two?"

Aunt Chu smiled apologetically, "It's my fault. I didn't mean to offend you."

Xiao Yinxiu didn't like to hear all this and just stared at the lacquer box. Shuangyue touched the lacquer box up and down, left and right, until there was a place where her hand got stuck. She turned it gently and a small hole popped out. Inside was a small bronze key.

I used the key to open the secret lock, and when I saw it, I was stunned.
