The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 276

It can only be like this, since she is all alone and has no relatives.

In the evening, when the waiter brought the meal, he said, "The guest in front has returned to the inn again, saying that the city gate is closed today, so you should go to bed early."

Hey!

As the city gate closed, Xu Lingqiao's face turned pale.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought that these days of walking on thin ice would continue. What should she do in the future?

Thinking of this, even though she was stubborn, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Seeing this, Hua Chonglou sighed slightly, "Don't worry, cousin, just eat some food." Xu Lingqiao had eaten very little that day, and now when she heard the city gate fall, she had no appetite at all.

"Thank you for your comfort, sister."

Hua Chonglou felt distressed when he saw this, and he also had doubts in his heart. The Fourth Young Master's wife had always been kind-hearted, and she shouldn't be so heartless to her relatives. If she said that the person in front of her was fake, how could they have the same face?

No no no no!

Is it possible that the girl in front of me is lying? She is not a cousin, but the daughter of Lord Song and someone else?

Therefore, the young lady ignored him.

Suspicion was building in her heart, but when she looked at Xu Ling's pretty face and expression, her eyebrows were as dark as black, her eyes were full of waves, and she was even more delicate and submissive than the young lady. How could she have the aura of the young lady...

Oops!

Could it be that she meant well but ended up doing something bad?

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Besides the Fourth Young Master's wife, are there any other relatives? Are your parents, brothers, and sisters... gone too?"

Xu Lingqiao never mentioned Xu Lingbai from beginning to end. She was thinking about the daughter of a merchant who was traveling all over the country. She was afraid that her frail body would bring shame to her brother who was taking the imperial examination. "My parents passed away early, and there is a stepmother at home who is not very affectionate. This time we got separated, and I have a rift with my stepmother..."

So that’s it!

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is not the only place for the woman in front of her.

She comforted Xu Lingqiao with a few words, returned to her room, called the maid beside her and asked a few questions, "The person who delivered the letter has not returned yet?"

Mrs. Hua shook her head. "Zhao'er went there in person, so he won't cause any trouble. But the mansion is a high-ranking family, not everyone can enter. Wait a minute."

"Grandma Hua, please go and bring some food to my cousin later. Now I think it's true. She is alone. If we don't see her, we won't care. If we do see her, we'd better lend a hand."

Hua Pozi accompanied Hua Chonglou on many trips and became very knowledgeable.

"Looking at the girl's behavior and words, I have to tell you that I think she has something on her mind. It's okay for her to be enthusiastic, but we should still be on guard."

Hua Chonglou knew this without Hua Po telling him.

"She must have suffered a lot and endured a lot of hardships as she is all alone outside. It is understandable that she has concealed some things. I just hope that I don't do something bad with good intentions and cause trouble for the Fourth Young Master's wife."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of horse hooves outside the inn. Hua Chonglou opened the door and walked out, holding up her skirt. She saw that Xu Lingqiao's door opposite was also opened from the inside. "Sister..." She was a little flustered. "I looked out the window and saw a carriage. I wonder..."

I wonder if she is my cousin...

She swallowed the sound in her throat.

Hua Chonglou supported her and said, "There are many merchants and travelers coming and going. Don't worry. I'll ask Granny Hua to go down and check."

Mrs. Hua had already walked down the narrow wooden stairs to the corner, and saw the shopkeeper personally welcoming a middle-aged man in. "Sir, you are looking for the young master of the Hua family. He is on the second floor. I will take you upstairs."

Hua Chonglou felt these words sounded familiar, so he leaned over to take a look and happened to meet Liu Er's eyes.

"Is it Brother Liu?"

Several times when she and her cousin went to the mansion, it was this steward Liu Er who personally drove the carriage to pick them up.

Liu Er looked up and saw a strange girl standing with Hua Chonglou. From her face, one could tell at a glance that she was a sister of the young lady.

He calmed down and went upstairs in three steps and two steps at a time, "Miss Hua, I think this must be our cousin. I, Liu Er, greet the two ladies." Xu Lingqiao couldn't hold back her tears any longer and burst into tears, "But cousin..., was it the young lady who sent my brother here?"

Liu Er nodded, still holding the whip in his hand.

He looked around. Seeing that he was so cautious, Hua Chonglou asked, "Brother Liu Er, the city gate is locked now. I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for another night." Liu Er didn't rush to answer. He turned around and asked Hua Chonglou, "Is there anyone else living on this floor?"

If so, I'm afraid we'll have to clear out the guests.

"They are all members of my horse team, and my cousin."

So good!

Liu Er pulled the whip and bowed, "Miss Hua, Miss Biao, I will go down and welcome my young mistress in."

what?

Xu Lingqiao suddenly took a half step forward and said excitedly, "Young Madam...Young Madam is here in person?"

Seeing that she was fine, Liu Er was relieved. Thinking of how eagerly the young lady had been looking for him over the past month, he could not help but say, "Don't be polite, cousin. Just treat the young lady as your sister. She has been looking for you day and night these days. This afternoon, she received a letter from Miss Hua and Doctor Sun, and the young lady did not delay at all and rode here right away."

Xu Lingqiao was overwhelmed with joy at this moment, and her mind went blank.

"How can we do that? Just send someone. Please ask her to come in person..."

Seeing this, Hua Chonglou knew that Song Guanzhou was sincere to the girl in front of him, and couldn't help but smile, "Miss, don't cry, go and greet the young lady first." After saying that, he took her arm and was about to go downstairs. Seeing this, Liu Er hurriedly stopped them, "Miss Hua, cousin, you two just wait inside the house."

As they were talking, Zhuanggu got off the carriage and walked in.

Liu Er went to meet her and heard her say, "Second Steward, have you seen Miss Hua and Miss Biao?"

"See you, everything is fine."

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Gu did not go upstairs, but just said, "Then Lianhua and I will ask the young lady to get out of the car." A moment later, they heard the sound of deep footsteps. Hua Chonglou and Xu Lingqiao were waiting on the second floor. Soon, they saw a young woman with a black veil on her head, a slim figure, dressed in a green gown and a dark green skirt, walking slowly towards them.

When they reached the corner of the wooden stairs, Lianhua was holding up her skirt from behind, and Zhuanggu was leading the way in front. Song Guanzhou lifted the veil with one hand, looked at the two women on the second floor with expectant faces, and smiled brightly.

"Chonglou, cousin, I'm sorry that Guanzhou is late. Please forgive me."

She was at a lower place, and the light between the wooden stairs was dim, but when she smiled sweetly on her fair face, the dark eyebrows of the distant mountains instantly brightened, as if a goddess had descended to earth.

Xu Lingqiao wondered, why do people say they look alike?

In her opinion, it was not like that at all. She was timid and cowardly, how could she be so beautiful and charming with just a smile...

"cousin……"

"Young Madam——"

The two girls wanted to go downstairs to greet them, but Song Guanzhou waved his hand and said, "Wait for me to come up, this wooden staircase is narrow." Zhuanggu was beside her and helped her upstairs. Hua Chonglou and Xu Lingqiao suppressed their excitement and saluted her. She knelt down in return and said, "Come with me into the house and talk."

The carriage was so bumpy that Song Guanzhou's bones felt like they were falling apart.

she was--

tired!
