One touch and one silence

"Fang Kexin, can you lend me your coat?"

Seeing Fang Kexin was stunned, Nanzhi had no choice but to walk over to her and whisper something.

"The rule here is that if a wife sues her husband, she will be beaten with fifty sticks!"

As soon as Nanzhi finished speaking, Fang Kexin collapsed to the ground in fear.

Nanzhi immediately supported him and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

"Give me the clothes!"

We wear more clothes in winter, so it doesn’t matter if we take off one piece.

Fang Kexin saw that this gentleman did not seem to be faking it, so she obediently took off a piece of clothing.

Nanzhi took the clothes and gave them to the yamen runners beside her. She ordered, "Come here, Fang Kexin sued her husband. According to the rules, she will be beaten with fifty sticks. Spread the clothes on the stool and beat her hard."

"Put more force!"

After saying this, Nanzhi returned to his seat in a cool manner.

The bailiffs looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

They have never done anything like this.

This master is really weird.

"What are you standing there for? Go now!"

The bailiffs had no choice but to pick up their clothes and walk out.

Yuan Wuqing felt a little unwell.

Everything this Lord does is so bizarre.

I wonder if Your Majesty would regret it if he knew about this.

Liu Yue stood aside, with a slight smile on his lips, secretly complaining in his heart.

My master, every policy has its own countermeasures.

I wonder if His Majesty would be furious if he knew that someone had misinterpreted his rules.

Nan Zhihao didn't care. Instead, he said to Yuan Wuqing beside him, "This dress is worn by Fang Kexin, so it naturally belongs to Fang Kexin!"

Yuan Wuqing's mouth twitched suddenly, his eyelids kept twitching, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth with difficulty: "Of course!"

"Since this dress belongs to Fang Kexin, then removing the other irrelevant words, it wouldn't be wrong to say it belongs to Fang Kexin!"

"Then it is reasonable and proper for me to hit this dress, right?"

Liu Yue couldn't help laughing. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, she would have laughed out loud on the spot.

Yuan Wuqing's situation wasn't much better.

His hands began to tremble, and he was shocked by the prince's twisted logic.

Yuan Wuqing closed his eyes, then opened them again. His eyes regained clarity and he replied seriously, "Your Highness is wise!"

Nanzhi waved her hands proudly, enjoying the praise from Lord Yuan very much.

She is such a smart person.

As the sound of clapping was heard outside, Nanzhi expressed her satisfaction.

However, the two men who were carrying out the execution had their knuckles numb from the shock.

This was the first time they had done this, and Shaoqing asked them to work harder.

Halfway through the beating, they couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to change two people to continue beating the clothes.

Until everyone is finished.

Nanzhi then instructed Fang Kexin, "Fang Kexin, why don't you tell the truth."

Only then did Fang Kexin understand the good intentions of this adult.

She was immediately filled with gratitude, and she followed the master's instructions and told him everything.

"Sir, I am Fang Kexin. My family is from the south of the Yangtze River. My father is a famous doctor in Yong'an Town. We usually live a wealthy life."

"Two years ago, I delivered medicine to a scholar on behalf of my father. This scholar was Zhao Yehua. At that time, he was just a juren and came to study with his fellow townsmen."

"We became more familiar with each other after a few visits, and then we gradually became closer."

"At that time, I was young and inexperienced, and I didn't understand the men out there. I thought all men were good people like my father."

"He told me about his family several times, saying that his mother lost her eyes because of him taking the imperial examination, and that his father died early, leaving him with only a ten-year-old sister who is now at home taking care of his mother."

"At that time, I felt sorry for him. I thought this man was self-reliant and strong. I was soft-hearted for a moment, so I gave him the New Year's money that my parents had given me over the years."

"I gave him one hundred taels. He refused at first, but I felt sorry for him, so I secretly put it inside his quilt."

When Nanzhi heard this, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

Is it the kind where you say no but really want it in your heart?

"Did he take it?"

Nanzhi asked on purpose, so naturally he accepted the offer and shamelessly started pursuing the girl.

A girl who is just a doctor can easily come up with a hundred taels.

Do you think she has no money?

Definitely not.

and so!

"Yes! He was very grateful at the time and even swore to repay me in the future."

Having said this, the woman smiled bitterly.

"I didn't originally want to be with him, nor did I need him to repay me. But he always said that he was in my heart, making me think that he was my confidant."

"He said that women have a harder time in this era, and when he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely speak up for us women."

Nanzhi clicked his tongue a few times.

Even she, as a prince, doesn't dare to say this to others. This person is really powerful.

"At that time, I wanted to study medicine, but my father wouldn't let me. He said it was unacceptable for a woman to go out in public to treat patients. At that time, he told me that I shouldn't be bothered by these rules. If I wanted to study, I could go ahead and study. He supported me!"

"That's how I went from having common topics to being close friends. In the end, I left everything behind and followed him to Kyoto."

"People say that those who marry are wives, and those who run away are concubines. You are my only wife!"

At this point, the woman could no longer control herself and burst into tears.

"I was too stupid. He clearly said that I was his wife. I helped him embroider handkerchiefs during the day, cooked his three meals a day, and washed his clothes from the brothel at night. Because the money paid there was more, I knew there would be trouble, but I still endured the discomfort and took him back, taking care of his daily life all day long."

“But when he entered high school, he suddenly seemed like a different person.”

"One day he suddenly told me that he was going to marry a woman from a wealthy merchant family. I questioned him!"

"Hahahaha, that person said the same thing on the day of their wedding."

"The one who betroths you becomes your wife, and the one who runs away becomes your concubine."

“Isn’t it ridiculous!”

"It turns out that everything was destined from the beginning. At that time, I wanted to leave, but I was pregnant."

"That was his first child. He begged me for a long time, and finally I softened my heart and couldn't bear to give up the child, so I gave birth to the child."

"It happened to be the day he got married."

"I don't know what the man said, but within two months, his wife took me into her mansion. I didn't want to go at first."

"He threatened me, saying that when the child is born, people will talk about it and say it's a bastard without a father. He asked me if I really had the heart to let people talk about my son. He said he had discussed it with that woman and decided to record the child as a legitimate son."

"I endured it so that my child could have a legitimate identity when he was born!"

"But they took the child away. After only two months, my child caught a cold and died."

"I went to argue with her, but what I got was that man ordered me to be beaten with ten sticks."
