Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 24 The Prime Minister's Early Death

Songbaiyuan.

The main hall was full of people early in the morning.

In addition to Old Madam Zhao, Zhao Wenxuan's eldest aunt, second aunt and the unmarried younger generations of the two families were all present.

Min Rouer had a piece of gauze wrapped around her head and sat next to Old Madam Zhao.

Logically speaking, as a concubine, she has no right to sit here, but since she is the old lady's niece, she enjoys privileges.

Dongmei was just a concubine, and she was unable to consummate the marriage last night, so she was not qualified to pay her respects, and therefore she did not come.

Old Madam Zhao looked unhappy.

Yesterday, she finally drank the medicine and fell asleep, but was woken up by Nanny Sun again, saying that the master and Miss Rouer were making a fuss in Guanlan Courtyard.

I didn't want to get involved, but one is my own son and the other is my niece. How can I just walk away and ignore them?

I had no choice but to run in the night dew.

When she finally returned to her own yard, the little Wan'er started crying again, making her very tired.

The same goes for Rouer. I still think she is well-behaved and sensible.

Xuan'er had only taken in a concubine, so what was there for her to make a fuss about? With her as her aunt, there was no benefit in the mansion that could be left out of her.

It seems that I have been too indulgent towards her in the past. I need to teach her a lesson from now on.

There was another thing that bothered the old lady.

Early this morning, the housekeeper Zhao Fugui blocked the door and said that the staff in each courtyard were inexplicably less.

After searching everywhere, no one knew the answer. Only a few people said that these people seemed to have been called by someone from the lady's courtyard.

So I went to the old lady for advice.

This has to do with the beating that Nan Xi gave to these people yesterday, which scared them out of their wits.

In addition to the "cash power" of silver, the gate of the courtyard was guarded in advance, so that even though there was such a big commotion in Tingxue Courtyard yesterday, no news of it leaked out.

The old lady didn't hear the news either.

Because the few people were all Nan Xi's, so she was just waiting to ask Nan Xi about this matter.

Taking all these factors into consideration, it would be strange if Madam Zhao looked in a good mood.

Min Rouer's face looked even worse.

She never dreamed that Nan Xi would be willing to give that slut Dongmei to her cousin as a concubine. Doesn't she love her cousin very much?

When she heard the news yesterday, she rushed to her cousin's yard, and the scene she saw almost shocked her!

I couldn't hold back the anger in my heart.

As a result, Dongmei, that slut, hid behind her cousin with tears in her eyes, and her cousin even slapped her.

What was even more difficult for her to accept was that her aunt, who had always stood by her, was actually protecting that slut!

Min Rouer couldn't sleep the whole night and came to her aunt's house early in the morning with dark circles under her eyes.

If she hadn't come, who knows what would have happened in this house that she wouldn't know about!

In a blink of an eye, almost an hour had passed.

Everyone drank cups of tea one after another, and Old Madam Zhao became more and more embarrassed. She was already thinking about 108 ways to torture Nan Xi today!

"Speaking of our Zhao family, only my third brother's wife is lucky enough to marry such a precious daughter-in-law..."

Second aunt Zhang finally lost her patience and spoke to break the deadly atmosphere.

"In the past, I only envied my brother and sister-in-law for being so blessed."

"Oh~ Today I feel that it's not easy to serve such a rich lady after marrying her~"

The loud voice was full of sarcasm, and Mrs. Zhao was so angry that her face turned red and white.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to fight back, he suddenly saw a figure coming in from the corner of his eye, and immediately threw the cup of hot tea that Nanny Sun had just brought to him.

The figure swayed slightly, and with a crisp "crack" sound, the teacup hit the door frame and broke into pieces on the ground.

Tea mixed with tea leaves flowed down the door frame, still emitting a slight steam.

Several younger people in the hall screamed in fear.

"Why is this happening, old lady?"

Nan Xi acted weak, aggrieved and confused.

Before leaving the yard, she took the initiative to put on a sick makeup on her face.

At this moment, his face was pale and his lips were bloodless, and he looked really pitiful.

Of course, no one here would "pity" her.

"Why?"

"Nan, you really ask questions even though you already know the answer!"

Madam Zhao was furious:

"Great! She is indeed a noble lady from a high-class family, raised in the General's Mansion. She is so impressive!"

"But you're just saying hello to me, an old woman, and you want me to wait until the sun is high in the sky. Do you really not want to take my humble family, the Zhao family, seriously?"

In the past, after her outburst, the original owner would have to kneel down and admit his mistake, and then be tortured by the old lady in this way or that way.

At this time, everyone was ready and waiting.

——What are you waiting for this early morning? Aren’t you just waiting to see this good show?

Nan Xi has no interest in acting for others.

After casually greeting everyone, he found a place to sit down.

While leisurely saying:

"Why are you so angry so early in the morning, old lady?"

"I'm not feeling well, and everyone in the mansion knows it. Even if I got up a little late, everyone says the old lady is kind. How could she get angry over this?"

"Although I was born in the General's Mansion, the courtyard I live in is the farthest away from the old lady, so I dare not claim to be of noble status."

The old lady choked.

In order to show respect for her, the largest courtyard in the mansion was given to Songbai Courtyard. Nan Xi, the legal wife, lived in Tingxue Courtyard, which was not only far away from her, but also farther away from Zhao Wenxuan's courtyard.

On the contrary, the courtyard where Min Rouer, a concubine, lived was closer to both mother and daughter.

If we continue to talk about this, it will not sound good.

The old lady blushed, and simply brushed aside the issue, launching a second wave of attack:

"Let's put that aside. Have you brought the scriptures I asked you to copy yesterday?"

Nan Xi looked puzzled:

"Scriptures?"

"What scriptures are you talking about? I don't know."

Nanny Sun was standing by, her eyes wide open in surprise.
