Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 3: The Prime Minister's Early Death, His First Wife 1: Newly Arrived

"Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh no, the young lady has fainted... Chuntao, quickly go call the palace doctor..."

Amidst the chaotic noises, Nan Xi covered her forehead, endured the discomfort, and slowly opened her eyes. The surroundings were ancient and charming. Several maids and servants dressed in ancient clothes surrounded her, their expressions anxious. She was sitting, her head resting in the soft embrace of one of the servants.

The mother-in-law's eyes were the most anxious, while the maid behind her saw her open her eyes, but her eyes wandered away. Nan Xi's keen mental power could sense that the maid had a subtle malice towards her.

"Ah, miss, it's great that you've woken up, wu... wu... wu~" Another maidservant with a round face and who looked younger cried for joy and even wiped away her tears.

"Miss, please be more positive and don't get yourself hurt by anger." "If anything happens to you, it will be the end of this old slave's life..." The old woman who was hugging her was choked with sobs.

"Oh! You woman, you are really pretending to be faint!"

"Nan Xi, ah Nan Xi, your methods are really getting more and more despicable..."

Suddenly, a cold and harsh male voice was heard, which was out of tune with the atmosphere just now.

Nan Xi glanced coldly.

Across the table sat a rather handsome man, his face filled with disdain and anger.

"I used to think that you were just rude, stupid, and jealous, and at least a little different from those noble ladies in the capital. I didn't expect that you have learned how to pretend to be unconscious now"!

Nan Xi: ...Who is this? Their mouth stinks!

The stinky mouth continued to open and close:

"Don't think you can succeed by using such a cheap trick..."

"Rou'er has been with me for so many years and has suffered so much. She is kind-hearted and never lets you down. As a woman, why can't you be more kind and generous like her?"

"Besides, she is only a co-wife. It will not affect your status in the mansion at all."

"If you ask me, Rou'er has been talented and well-educated since she was young. She's more than qualified to be my wife..."

He was talking non-stop.

Nan Xi probably figured it out: this was a scumbag who was suppressing his wife and fighting for status for his concubine.

He kept praising his concubine in front of his first wife, no wonder the original owner was so angry that she fainted.

At present, Nan Xi has no memory of this body, but she inexplicably dislikes this shameless man.

Staring at the man's neck with bulging veins, Nan Xi's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

He subconsciously searched the space for his five-meter-long sword - good, he found it!

The feeling of this knife must be different from that of chopping zombies...

Over the past three hundred years of the apocalypse, she has killed countless people in order to survive and to steal supplies. Killing one more person shouldn't be a big deal...

Nan Xi's murderous hands were ready to move.

"Sir, be careful with your words! How can you speak to the young lady like that?"

An old but firm voice sounded above her head in time, and the old woman holding her said righteously:

"Our young lady is the legitimate daughter of a general's family, and the only descendant of the Nan family's patriarch. Her status is truly noble!"

"Besides, it was an imperial decree that granted my marriage to my son-in-law."

"No matter how much you pamper her, Aunt Min is still just your cousin."

"How can you be compared with my young lady, a person from a humble family, and be on equal footing with her?!"

Wow, good retort! Nan Xi was cheered up.

I didn’t expect that I would have someone to speak for me when I came through. I said in my heart, “Continue…”

Listening to the mother-in-law's output, she had another feeling in her heart:

Familiar, friendly... and a hint of guilt.

This feeling should not belong to her, it must be a remnant of the original owner.

"Today, you made the young lady faint because of a little concubine. Regardless of how this matter is said, not only do you not care about the young lady's health, but you also said that our young lady was pretending to faint!"

"My young lady has been so considerate and helpful to you since we got married. How has your son-in-law ever repaid you? If this were to get out, wouldn't it be disheartening?"

"...Our general will definitely not let this go if he finds out!"

The old woman spoke in rapid succession, and her tone was really disrespectful, which made the man opposite her blush and unable to utter a word for a long time.

Nan Xi couldn't help but give the old woman a look of dependence and approval.

The old woman was startled by this look. This look from her own lady...

What seems different?

Shouldn't she be scolded for being too talkative and asked to admit her mistake to her son-in-law? She said this because she was mentally prepared to be punished.

Could it be that the young lady was truly hurt by her son-in-law this time? Ahhhh…God damn Zhao Wenxuan…God damn little bitch…

"You!" The man became even angrier when he saw the eye contact between the master and servant.

You...you...you after saying you for a long time, but couldn't think of any rebuttal. I was really speechless, so I could only knock the teacup heavily on the table!

Stand up and shake your sleeves:

"Okay, okay, the General's Mansion is truly powerful and influential. Now an old and cunning servant dares to challenge me..."

There was a clear hint of cowardice in his voice, and his eyes were fixed on the woman.

Seeing that Nan Xi's face showed no fluctuation, his heart suddenly tightened: What's going on? In the past, at this time, the stupid woman would have gotten angry on his behalf without waiting for him to speak.

Then I begged him earnestly not to be angry.

Now that he is so angry, this stupid woman is actually indifferent?

And what was that look you gave him just now?

——Strangeness, contempt, disdain, and even a hint of murderous intent.

Looking more closely, there was only indifference and lazy disdain in her eyes - was this the look a stupid woman should have when looking at him?

Is there something wrong with his eyes?

Could it be that he pushed the situation too hard, causing the stupid woman to become alert?

Probably not, that stupid woman doesn't have the brains for it.

That means that promoting Rou'er to a co-wife really irritated her. That's good!

He had no choice in this matter. Although it was a pity for the foolish woman's face, he couldn't bear the consequences of ruining His Majesty's important plan.

It seems that if I just add a little more fuel to the fire, it should be enough. As for this annoying old woman, she was sent into the mansion by General Nan to keep an eye on him after the wedding. If that bitch Nan Xi doesn't say anything, he really can't get angry for the time being...

No rush! When the general's mansion collapses, won't these lowly slaves be crushed to death by him?

Thinking of this, the look in his eyes when he looked at Nan Xi became more ferocious, with a sense of superiority and determination in his eyes.

Nan Xi sneered in her heart, and just stared blankly at the man acting in front of her.

She had just arrived and was completely in the dark.

Since the mission is not clear, we should not act rashly.

Judging from the looks of it, this is her home turf. Apart from the man, everyone else in the house should be the original owner's people - as long as their safety is not a big issue, there's nothing to worry about.

The old woman squatted down perfunctorily.

"You are too kind, uncle."

"I was only entrusted by the general, and I dare not disobey his wishes. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

He really didn't say anything, but there wasn't much apology in his eyes.

The man's face was ashen, and his lips moved, as if he was about to say something fierce, but then he thought of something and forced himself to hold it back.

Just then, the court doctor came in carrying a medicine box, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Nan Xi!"

"You're doing great!"

"The general's family is really well-educated. They just watched a servant commit insubordination."

"Don't think everything will be fine just by carrying me out of the General's Mansion. I am your husband after all!"

"Since ancient times, women have been obedient to their husbands after marriage. Rou'er's appointment as a co-wife has been decided. You can handle the details!"

After saying that, without waiting for Nan Xi to reply, he angrily threw his sleeves and left.
