A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Xia Tian saw Third Madam Ye rushing over regardless and raising her hand to hit her, she sneered and stood there without moving.

When Ye swung her hand, he was about to grab her hand, but Cuiyun, who was standing behind her, saw that the Third Madam was about to hit someone, and she got anxious and dodged in front of Xia Tian.

"Pa!" Cuiyun's head tilted, and five finger marks appeared on her face. The place where she was hit became hot and swollen.

Seeing that the hit was off target, Ye pushed Cuiyun away and slapped her again. Xia Tian narrowed his eyes, grabbed Ye's hand, and pushed her out with his backhand.

Ye took a few steps back, and her maid helped her catch up from behind before she could steady herself.

Xia Tian took a few steps forward, and before Ye could react, he raised his hand and slapped Shen Yi who was standing next to him.

Shen Yi was stunned, covered her face and burst into tears.

When Mrs. Ye saw that this wild girl dared to hit her precious daughter, she immediately became furious. "Come here, hold this wild girl down for me. If I don't beat her to death today, she'll be lucky."

"Who is Third Aunt going to beat to death?" Before anyone else could rush over, Shen Nian came over from the front, followed by Muchen.

"This wild girl is committing treason and even dares to hit Yier. Shouldn't she be beaten?" Ye put her hands on her hips and yelled at Shen Nian while panting.

"Hmph, Third Aunt is really good at turning the tables. If you hadn't rushed over to hit me, would Cuiyun have been slapped? Would I have done it?" Xia Tian said with a cold face, "Third Aunt is the elder. I can't fight you directly, so your daughter will have to bear it."

"Look, he's so disrespectful to his elders. Shouldn't I teach him a lesson?" Ye pointed at Xia Tian and questioned Shen Nian angrily.

"It's not my turn to teach my people a lesson, Third Aunt." Shen Nian replied coldly, "Also, Third Aunt, please remember clearly, she is not a wild girl, she is the Crown Prince's wife whom I married in a formal ceremony. If I hear anyone disrespecting the Crown Prince's wife again, don't blame me for being rude."

After Shen Nian finished speaking, he stopped arguing with Ye, turned around, took Xia Tian's hand and left.

Muchen and Cuiyun hurriedly followed.

On the way, Shen Nian held Xia Tian's hand and listened to Xia Tian recount what had just happened.

After Shen Nian finished listening, he smiled and praised, "Well, well done. From now on, no matter who it is, as long as we are right, don't be afraid."

He also reminded her worriedly, "Next time you see someone attacking you, don't just stand there. What if you get hurt?"

Xia Tian felt warm in his heart, "Don't worry, I'm very strong now, she can't hit me. I just didn't expect Cuiyun to suddenly block in front of me and get slapped."

"Well, she is a good protector of her master. She did a good job." Shen Nian nodded, very satisfied with Cuiyun's performance.

Shen Nian had something else to do, so he sent Xia Tian to the gate of Jinglan Garden and then returned to Lingyun Pavilion.

Xia Tian entered the house and quickly called Ningxiang Ningxue to bring ointment and ice.

He asked Cuiyun to sit on a stool, and personally applied a cold compress with ice wrapped in a handkerchief for a while, then applied ointment. He looked her over and over again before saying distressedly, "You girl, don't do this again next time. The Third Madam and other such incidents are just minor ones. I can guarantee that she can't hit me."

He was touched again, "But I still want to thank you for blocking the slap for me. Just take a rest for the next few days until the wound on your face heals a little."

"Well, thank you, ma'am. This is what a servant should do."

Ningxiang and Ningxue heard that the slap mark on Cuiyun's face was caused by blocking the slap for the lady, and they kept telling her to rest for a few days. They also asked her in detail about the situation at that time, and they felt a little annoyed with the third lady.

Seeing that the lady looked okay, a few people came over to give her some advice, telling her what to do if she encountered this kind of thing in the future, which made Xia Tian very happy.

These girls completely warmed her heart.

Xia Tian returned the favor, thanking them for protecting her, and took out the jewelry she had accumulated and let them choose for themselves.

Of course, they were not given by Shen Nian, but were bought by her herself when she went out shopping, and she originally intended to keep them as gifts for others.

Let Ningxue call Cuixin, Cuiling, Cuiqiao and others to come in and choose together.

The girls laughed and picked one each. Xia Tian also picked one for each of them. They thanked each other happily and gathered together to see whose was the best looking.

Xia Tian looked at them with a smile, and took out a silver coin worth five taels and gave it to Cuiyun as a reward for taking a slap for her today.

Cuiyun was still embarrassed to accept it, so the maids quickly stuffed it into her arms and asked her to hold it tightly, laughing and joking with her.

"Put it away quickly, or we'll be jealous and try to snatch it away."

"Oh my, Madam, you must take me with you next time you go out. Why didn't I get this good opportunity?"

"That's right, Madam is biased. She only brought Cuiyun and not us."

The laughter in the room dissipated the depression in her heart caused by the Third Madam.

Here, the third wife, Mrs. Ye, angrily dragged Shen Yi back to her yard.

While applying medicine to Shen Yi's face, he complained to the Third Master, "This Xia is so rude. Not only is she disrespectful to her elders, she even dares to hit people. Look at the slap she gave Yi'er in the face."

"And Shen Nian, he doesn't care about brotherly love at all, he's only devoted to that wild girl."

"I'm so angry! I have to ask the old lady for justice."

"Just be quiet for a while. You know that girl is not a good person, so why did you go up to her and provoke her?" The third master said impatiently, "Shen Nian is the prince now. This mansion will belong to him from now on. No one can do anything to the people he wants to protect."

"Humph, so what if he's the prince? Isn't my elder brother still here? I don't believe he dares to do anything to me."

"If you don't believe me, just try it. Look at what's happening to my sister-in-law and Shen Ke now. I don't believe that Shen Nian didn't have a hand in this.

You better calm down for a while, or you won’t know how you’ll suffer.” The third master gritted his teeth and advised Ye, “And Yi’er, keep a close eye on her too, don’t let her keep following Shen Lan around and causing trouble for that girl.”

"Is Shen Nian really that powerful?" Ye Shi didn't believe it. Wasn't Shen Ke accidentally injured by a group of unknown people? This couldn't be Shen Nian's doing, right?

"Hmph, sister-in-law, if you dare to poison Shen Nian, you should be prepared for revenge." The third master also looked down on Liu. She was a woman, but she was so cruel that she even dared to poison the prince of the marquis's mansion, and it started from the moment she entered the door.

"Wasn't it that bitch who poisoned her? How come she became the eldest sister-in-law?" Ye couldn't figure it out.

"What can you figure out with your brain? Just listen to me. Stay away from eldest brother's family from now on, okay?" The third master didn't want to waste time talking to Ye anymore. The key point was that Ye was too simple-minded and always wanted to scheme against others.

Ye hummed in dissatisfaction, but did not argue with the Third Master again.

When Second Madam Zheng heard about Third Madam's affairs, she only cursed, "Idiot!"

Later, when the third wife came to her for justice, she also advised her not to provoke those people from the first wife's house. The third wife curled her lips and left unhappily.

Zheng didn't care about her either.

It's the end of the year and there's nothing to do. Now she's the housekeeper and she's so busy sending New Year gifts to all the relatives and friends she knows that she has no energy to worry about the Ye family's trivial matters.

Zheng was busy as a drummer, and Xia Tian was not idle either. Whenever she had free time, she would learn to embroider purses with Ningxiang and Ningxue in the warm room.

The Chinese New Year is just over ten days away, and Xia Tian also took some time out to visit Yayizhai. In addition to handing over the customized paintings, he also went shopping.

As a result, just after returning from Yayizhai, she received a message from Mu Feng in the evening saying that the manager Xiao of Yayizhai asked her to go there again tomorrow.
