Quick Wear: The Cold Beauty's Sickly Husband is Super Clingy

Autumn of the second year of Xingping.

Lujiang City and its nearby cities were attacked by rebels, but fortunately the Grand Tutor came with his troops to rescue.

Under siege from more than 2,000 people, Quyang County held out for seven hours thanks to the resistance of the outgoing county magistrate Ning Zishu and the defenders in the city. Finally, reinforcements arrived and the peace of the people in the city was preserved.

After seeing the memorial from the Grand Tutor requesting merit, the Emperor of Wei mentioned in the court the meritorious service of the magistrate of Quyang County in defending the city and commended Ning Zishu for his actions.

However, Cheng Anbo, Ning Zishu's father, did not show any joy at all.

Ah! Who cares about this kind of merit gained by risking one's life?

The third son of his family was not a military general. He had been a scholar since he was a child. I don’t know how much suffering he had endured before he was able to stop the rebels.

Even without this feat of defending the city, his son still had a bright future.

Originally, he would have been transferred back to the central government at the end of this month. With his protection, he would be able to live a stable life in the future. If he married a capable wife from the family, the third son of his family would surely have a stable career.

Unfortunately, those rebels who deserved to be struck by lightning attacked Quyang County and left his son seriously injured. Although his life was saved, his bones must have been damaged and no one knows how he is now.

Thinking of his gentle and elegant third son, Cheng Anbo felt anxious and uncomfortable.

Among his four sons, the third one is the best looking.

Not only did he inherit the good looks of his parents, but he was also gentler and more decent than the other three sons. He was his mother's most beloved grandson.

The old lady’s favorite grandson is Ning Zishu.

Ning Zishu's mother died early, and he was initially raised by the wife of the main wife. Later, he was taken in by the old lady, which led to the old lady favoring him the most.

But Cheng Anbo's favorite son was the eldest son.

Having said that, he also took a fancy to the third brother. After all, Ning Zishu was indeed outstanding.

I originally thought it would be good for my child to go out and try his luck, so that he could have a good development when he returns home.

But now that the other party has suffered such a disaster, he wishes he could send someone to bring the child back immediately, because only when the child is alive can there be hope of moving to a higher level.

If the third brother died from his serious injury, not only would it be difficult for him and the old lady to accept it, it would also be an obstacle to the future development of Cheng'anbo's Mansion.

He carefully raised his four sons.

His eldest son entered the court as an official through imperial nepotism and is now serving in the Ministry of Personnel, while his second and third sons took two different paths.

The second son, Ning Ziqi, joined the army and took steady steps.

The third brother, Ning Zishu, was a literary man. He was first sent to serve as an official in a remote area, and then transferred back to the court and gradually promoted.

The main focus is on having people on both the civil and military sides.

As for his fourth son, he managed the family property to ensure that the Cheng'anbo Mansion would not fail.

He made clear arrangements for his four sons.

I hope they have a bright future and I also hope they can preserve the Earl's Mansion.

However, something happened to the third brother, whom he trusted the most, and it was a life-threatening matter.

After leaving the court, Cheng Anbo immediately called the fourth brother and asked him to go to Quyang County immediately.

"Zihua, take the court doctor to Quyang County and bring some medicinal herbs with you. You must save your third brother's life."

Ning Zihua nodded slightly, "Son knows."

"Father, do you want me to go tell grandmother about my third brother being seriously injured while guarding the city?"

Cheng Anbo sighed and said, "If I go and tell her in person, the old lady will probably be very worried."

When Ning Zishu left Gaoling City for exile, the old lady almost followed him to Quyang County, and he had to use all his power to stop her.

Now that Ning Zishu is seriously injured, the old lady is probably more anxious than she was three years ago.

Ning Zihua sighed softly and thought of the worst-case scenario in her mind, "Father, if something happens to my third brother, what should our family do?"

Cheng Anbo looked at him deeply, his frowning brows unable to relax for a long time.

"Go check out the situation first."

None of the male descendants of the Earl's family is as promising as Ning Zishu. Not only is he extremely talented, having won the third place in the imperial examination at the age of 20, he also has a gentle temperament and is impeccable in his interpersonal relationships.

If the third brother could be saved, he would never give up.

He had to keep the third child no matter how much money he spent, otherwise all his years of hard work would be in vain.

But some things have to be planned early.

"Zihua..." Cheng Anbo said sternly, "If the third brother can't make it this time, you will have to stand up and take his place."

Ning Zihua understood what her father meant after hearing this.

He had to bring his third brother back to Gaoling City from Quyang County safely, otherwise he would be forced by his father to take the imperial examination and become an official.

This won't do! Young Master Ning, who never liked to study since he was a child, didn't even have the title of scholar, not to mention passing the imperial examinations.

If I take the imperial examination, I will have to sacrifice half my life, and I will no longer be as free and easy as I am now. I may even be forced to do more things.

Ning Zima became more and more worried the more he thought about it. He looked at Cheng Anbo with a frown on his face and said, "Don't worry, father. I will bring my third brother back safe and sound. Even the King of Hell can't take him away!"

Cheng Anbo waved his hand to let his son leave, turned and walked towards the old lady's yard, but he was thinking about how to tell his mother about the third son.

Oh, it makes me feel bald just thinking about it!
