Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Zhao Wenxuan almost got angry when he heard these discussions.

He dared to make such a scene at the gate of the mansion through Min Rouer's mouth, because he calculated that Nan Xi, this stupid woman, would not dare to defend herself to him.

Hasn't this woman always been like a gourd with a sawed-off mouth, always submissive and obedient in front of him?

Why did you argue back at him today, and then pretend to faint in front of him?

Unfortunately, the person had already been taken away by the slave girl she brought back, and he couldn't argue with her anymore. He could imagine how the people in the capital would talk about him in the future:

"no"

"Favoring the concubine and killing the wife"

"The mother-in-law is bullying her daughter-in-law..."

I'm afraid these labels will follow him for quite a long time to come, which will hinder his future actions!

He was so angry that he didn't care that Min Rouer was crying in his arms and pushed her hard.

"This is all your fault! Go back to your yard and reflect on your actions!"

He flicked his sleeves and walked into the mansion first.

He has completely lost face today.

Nan Xi was carried back to Tingxueyuan by Zhi Qiao like a princess.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they ordered the gate to be closed. They also reminded Chuntao and Zhixiao not to forget to bring the gifts General Nan had brought back from the carriage back to Tingxue Courtyard.

From today on, she will officially start to "recuperate".

"Qiutong, clean up the small kitchen in our yard and have Chef Zhang only cook for the small kitchen from now on."

"From today on, Tingxueyuan will be closed to visitors. When you leave, just say I fainted today and am seriously ill and need to rest."

She is not stupid. From today on, the house will start to become "lively".

First, she evacuated all the servants. If Madam Zhao hired new servants, it would definitely cause chaos, and she could keep the area quiet by closing the courtyard gate.

And then she was going to cause trouble, and the chaos that was about to happen in the mansion had little to do with a patient who was concentrating on "recuperating".

Not long after, the green glutinous rice, seashell meat, fresh venison legs, beef jerky, fresh vegetables, and various dried and fresh fruits in the carriage were all carried back.

Nan Xi ordered someone to collect it, and asked Chef Zhang to prepare a meal for the small kitchen in the evening.

Not to mention how happy everyone is here.

In the pine and cypress courtyard.

Old Madam Zhao sat upright in the main hall, looking anxious, and her eyes kept glancing towards the door.

She had heard a quarter of an hour ago that the bitch and her son had arrived at the mansion, and were now waiting for someone to come and meet them with gifts.

Every time the original owner returned to the mansion, he had to come to her first to report, and then any good things he brought back would be confiscated by her. This morning, she promised Nan Xi to send away the Nan family servants, and the mansion immediately became chaotic, with every household and courtyard coming to her to ask for people.

Especially the two sisters-in-law, who complained and pressured her, blaming her for agreeing to Nan Xi to evacuate the people and urging her to buy more people quickly.

"Third sister-in-law, I'm not being nosy. Your second sister-in-law and I are used to hardship, so it's okay if we don't have anyone to wait on us. But Lan'er and Ya'er are getting married soon, so how can they do without someone to wait on them?"

"Let's not talk about Ya'er. Lan'er is already engaged to the young master of the Escort Cavalry Captain's family. They're going to meet at Qinghu Lake tomorrow. She can't go out alone then. That would be embarrassing for our Zhao family, and the marriage might even fall through..."

The person who spoke was Zhao Wenxuan's aunt Yin.

Zhao Lan'er and Zhao Ya'er were her two unmarried daughters. Zhao Lan'er was sixteen, and Zhao Ya'er was fourteen. Over the past two years, relying on Nan Xi's dowry, she had raised them like rich daughters.

Although the Yang family, to whom Zhao Lan'er was engaged, was only the family of a sixth-rank military officer, the emperor secretly sent his eldest son into the Nan Family Army.

So strictly speaking, Zhao Lan'er was able to get this good marriage because of her relationship with the general. However, the original owner was kept in the dark about this matter.

After all, they won't admit it.

At least Zhao Lan'er always thought that she was the most charming. Didn't you see that her cousin Zhao Wenxuan was very friendly to her because of this marriage?

"Oh, sister-in-law, stop pretending. Everyone knows that you've been comfortably taken care of by Qing'er for the past two years. If you leave her now, you'll be left in limbo. So don't bring up Lan'er..."

Zhao Wenxuan's second aunt, Zhang, was a shrewd woman. Two years of pampered living hadn't changed her character. She had always been annoyed by the pretentiousness of her two sisters-in-law, yet they had to live under someone else's roof.

But she still had to say a few words when she got the chance:

"Hey, Third Sister-in-law, let's put everything else aside. The meals in this mansion must be served on time! Look at what kind of pig food was delivered at noon. We never had such bad meals back in the countryside!"

"Oh, my cousin's grandson vomited after eating. The poor fat boy was crying because of hunger."

"Third sister-in-law, please ask the original cook to make that cake for the child. The child loves to eat that..."

As soon as he heard about food, another fat boy of 4 or 5 years old immediately hugged Mrs. Zhao's legs and started crying: "Grandma, grandma, I want to eat cakes too... Min'er wants to eat cakes, wow wow wow..."

This was the youngest son of Madam Zhao's eldest daughter, Zhao Zhaodi, who had married a concubine. Madam Zhao's two daughters had both become concubines, and the second daughter, Zhao Pandi, had cut ties with the Zhao family and had no further contact after marrying. The eldest daughter, however, left her youngest son with Madam Zhao to be raised.

The family she married into was a merchant family, and the wife was fierce, so she was afraid that she would kill her illegitimate son. After becoming a noblewoman, Mrs. Zhao felt a sense of guilt towards her eldest daughter, who was still willing to be close to her. In order to make amends, she also doted on this little grandson.

At this moment, I couldn't help but feel a headache when I was disturbed by these noises:
