The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 279

"Cousin Ling Qiao!"

Song Guanzhou's expression was serious, and he shouted so loudly that Xu Lingqiao dared not speak. She just stared at her blankly, "Innocent things are nothing but clouds. Compared with being alive, it's nothing at all. I can understand that you are worried and blaming yourself, but overall, it's not your fault at all. The fault lies with your aunt and cousin who had evil intentions, the horse-faced steward, and Madam Gu San. From beginning to end, you are so innocent, why did you despise your life so much just for those beasts!"

"Do not--"

Xu Lingqiao shook her head. "What good will it do if I live from now on? Death will put an end to everything. At least the world won't blame me."

Ouch!

Song Guanzhou had thought about the importance that traditional women attached to chastity, but he had never expected it to be so serious. Coming from an era in modern society where gender relations are very open, Song Guanzhou had to use his brain quickly to think about how to dispel Xu Lingqiao's negative thoughts.

After much thought, it's nothing more than a combination of soft and hard tactics.

"Cousin, have you ever thought about who would be the saddest if you died? It would be you and me. This is the first time we have met. I think you are smart and you can see that I am a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty. If you were to end your life like this, have you ever thought about how I would live in the future?"

"Guan Zhou--, if you put it that way, I... I..."

"And my cousin, it was his negligence that allowed the thieves to take advantage of the opportunity. He had been waiting for you to come back alive, but you wanted to commit suicide. What should he do? Will he also join you in giving up his life?"

"Then...how can we do that?"

"He is your brother who was born of the same mother and treats you like a pearl and jade. Think about it, is he more concerned about you or your innocence that is not worth mentioning?"

After saying that, Xu Lingqiao couldn't control herself anymore and started crying again, covering her face.

Song Guanzhou thought to himself, what a nice girl!

Compared to his reckless personality, Xu Lingqiao in front of him was gentle and kind. He thought of his family from beginning to end and never cared about him.

"If you and I don't tell me, no one will dare to make random guesses. By the way, cousin, let me ask you one more question. Did a man bully you?"

this……?

Xu Lingqiao was a little dumbfounded. She nodded blankly, "Just one."

"That's good. A bite from a wild dog is not worth your life. Listen to my instructions from now on. Remember not to let anyone know."

"Watching the boat, I'm afraid it won't work."

A woman who has lost her virginity is not the same as a young girl waiting to be married. Song Guanzhou listened to her whispering her worries to him and sneered, "Don't listen to these nonsense. You can't tell anything. I have let my hair down and changed into a more charming dress. How many people who don't know me know whether I am married or not!"

It turns out that my cousin is like this.

Xu Lingqiao looked at Song Guanzhou's lively features and his confident expression, and felt that she was glowing at the moment, like the shining North Star in the dark night and in the midst of despair.

"Look at the boat, I'm afraid..."

"You are the victim in this matter. There is no need to make it public, and you don't need to take it to heart. My cousin and I are here to take care of everything. I will discuss this with Chonglou tomorrow."

Song Guanzhou asked Xu Lingqiao how she met Hua Chonglou. Xu Lingqiao told him what happened in the inn yesterday and how she met the Jin family and received help.

"That lady has kind eyes and looks young, but she is very friendly. She is said to be the young lady of the princess's family. I think when I find my brother and you, I will definitely come to thank you."

Afterwards, find a deserted place and die.

Unexpectedly, when Song Guanzhou heard the name of the young lady from the princess's family, he was very surprised, "Princess's family? Did you tell me your surname?"

"It seems her surname is Jin. She also said that there is a noble sister in the princess's mansion in the capital. She is very capable. I have been traveling with her for a few days and I often hear the maids talking about her. They just call her the eldest lady."

gold?

Big girl?

Song Guanzhou just felt that it was karma. She smiled sarcastically. Jin Fuyun tried her best to kill her cousin, but who would have thought that in the end it was the young lady of the Jin family who saved Xu Lingqiao.

"Fortunately, the young lady looked at me more, otherwise I would have been slapped and dragged away again."

Xu Lingqiao looked at Song Guanzhou, who had a playful expression, and asked cautiously, "Could it be that you know Guanzhou?"

"Yes, I met Miss Jin in early spring. How should I put it? We had some dirty talk."

what?

Xu Lingqiao had never expected that there would be so many twists and turns. Just when she was wondering how to respond, Song Guanzhou said with a half-smile, "But I, Song Guanzhou, know how to distinguish between gratitude and resentment. Since their young lady has done such a great deed, of course I will come to her house to give her a generous reward. Don't worry."

"Guan Zhou, did it cause you any trouble?"

Whoops!

Song Guanzhou smiled calmly, "No, it's nothing. Sister, just stay here and let me arrange everything. As for the future, I will choose a suitable husband for you."

"No, no, no... I can't do that. How can I talk about marriage in my current state?"

"Why not?"

Song Guanzhou, who was about to give a long speech, thought about it and decided to take it slowly. Changing one's mindset would not happen overnight.

Just then, Lotus came in from outside, knocking on the door. "Madam, cousin, the fourth young master is here."

Song Guanzhou frowned and looked at the dark night outside the green window screen. "Finally, you're here." Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a man's steady footsteps came from outside. Xu Lingqiao was a little flustered. Song Guanzhou called Lianhua over and said, "Go get some hot water and help my cousin with her makeup."

Turning around to comfort Xu Lingqiao, "Silang has a gentle personality, cousin, please don't be restrained."

After that, she lifted her skirt and stood up, walking out. At this moment, Xu Lingqiao heard a gentle and low voice, "Watching the boat."

Song Guanzhou opened half of the door, revealing half of his oval face. "Silang, you're finally here." His voice was filled with complaints as he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. "It takes so long to get here from the west gate—"

Pei An saw the happy expression on her face and knew that Xu Lingqiao was fine inside.

He had been hiding something from Song Guanzhou, but now that Xu Lingqiao had returned safely, he revealed it all.

In this way, my heart relaxed, and although my face showed fatigue from the running around, I could not hide my joy.

"The west gate was locked half an hour later. We can't get out this way. We have to take a detour. Is my cousin okay?"

Song Guanzhou nodded slightly.

"Zhuanggu, can you clean up the room for me and Silang tonight?"

Turning left under the eaves, Zhuang Gu ran out and said, "Madam, I have just packed everything. You and the Fourth Young Master can come and have a look. If there is anything missing, I will go and buy some more."

The couple followed Zhuang Gu to the door of the house. It was the best room in the inn, more than twice as big as the one rented by Xu Lingqiao. At the entrance was a double-folded screen made of old black pine wood with a lotus pattern. After walking around the screen, they saw a chair, a table, hanging paintings and bonsai, and an altar table by the window. At this moment, agarwood was burning, and the smoke was drifting away.
