Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Zhao Wenxuan and everyone else felt something was wrong as soon as they entered Tingxue Courtyard.

The yard was bare, and something was obviously missing. The rare flowers and trees, the large pot with lotus flowers in bloom, the flower stand with the swing on it, and so on were all gone.

Everyone's heart sank.

It seems that Nan Xi's yard was also completely looted.

How can this be good?

Zhao Wenxuan's face also looked unhappy.

Although he didn't believe in his heart that his own mother would even kill Rou'er, she would be so kind as to let Nan Xi, the biggest fat sheep in the mansion, go.

But even though I didn't see it with my own eyes, I still had hope in my heart.

As expected, when I entered the bedroom, I saw that the room was empty.

Nan Xi lay in bed in plain clothes, her face pale and her head covered with a towel. All the magnificent ornaments, decorations, and screens around her were gone.

But even so, the large carved nanmu bed, the exquisite bed curtains, and some inconspicuous little items still made the sisters Zhao Lan'er and Zhao Ya'er's eyes sparkle with envy.

They were just girls from ordinary families living in the Zhao family. They were called cousins, but they had never seen the world.

Even the faint fragrance in the house was something they could never experience in their lifetime.

All these strengthened the sisters' determination to marry into a wealthy family and live a wealthy life.

Nan Xi ignored the different looks of the group and spoke first in a weak voice:

"My husband, did you know that my yard was robbed last night and came to see me specially?"

Zhao Wenxuan choked.

Min Rouer quickly said:

"My cousin is naturally worried about my sister. But we are here to..."

She was just about to say that she wanted some silver, or to ask Nan Xi to think of a solution.

Zhiqiao interrupted her:

"Auntie Min! Our young lady is talking to her husband, how can a mere concubine like you interrupt?"

Zhi Xiao also said:

"I've always heard that Aunt Min is a respectable girl from a scholarly family, and her upbringing should be quite good. But now it seems..."

As he spoke, an expression of undisguised contempt appeared on his face.

"you!"

Min Rouer was so angry that her face turned red, but she didn't know what to say.

After all, they are right.

It's not that she didn't understand this, but she was used to being strong when she was alone with Nan Xi. She forgot that her cousin and the others were there.

Yin, Zhang, Zhao Lan'er and Zhao Ya'er also showed disdainful expressions on their faces.

In fact, they had disliked Min Rouer for a long time.

She was just a concubine, yet she dared to give them a bad look from time to time. In the past, she had to give her some color just to please Old Madam Zhao.

Now that Old Madam Zhao is gone, even if Nan Xi is in poor health and cannot manage the household, the power of management should not fall to Min Rouer, a concubine.

Look how she's been showing off these past two days.

snort!

Now she has offended the wife of the main house and was beaten up by her personal maid. Let's see if she still has any face left!

Zhao Wenxuan couldn't bear to see his beloved embarrassed, so he spoke out to help:

"There was a burglary in the mansion last night, and it wasn't just you who was stolen. I will investigate this matter myself..."

Nan Xi said:

"How are you going to investigate this matter, my husband? You should know that our family's expenses all depend on... cough, cough..."

He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed for a while before saying:

"Husband, please report this to the police immediately, or I'll ask my grandfather to help track it down..."

Hearing Nan Xi mention "reporting to the police" again, Zhao Wenxuan's forehead twitched:

"no!"

Min Rouer also said anxiously: "We can't report it to the police!"

"Why?" Nan Xi looked confused, her eyes wandering between their faces.

"I heard that my mother-in-law appeared in spirit last night... Could it be that you..."?

"Oh! Oh my God, no way..."

Nan Xi seemed to have suddenly thought of something extremely terrifying, and covered her mouth with a look of horror.

"Auntie Min, even if... even if mother decided to give Dongmei to my husband as a concubine, you can't... can't..."

"The old lady is so kind to you, she is your aunt..."

Nan Xi's voice trembled, and she seemed unable to continue.

Min Rouer and Zhao Wenxuan's faces turned dark blue:

Does this stupid woman know what she is talking about!

Yin, Zhang, Zhao Lan'er and Zhao Ya'er also looked at each other, with fear and confusion in their eyes.

They certainly thought Mrs. Zhao's sudden death was strange, and they had heard that she had come back to life last night. But they didn't take it seriously. They were only concerned about how this incident would affect them, not whether the old woman lived or died.

But they couldn't help but think too much at the moment.

Thinking back to yesterday, Min Rouer hadn't allowed them to get close to Zhao's mother's body for some reason. Could it be...

"Shut up!"

Zhao Wenxuan hurriedly shouted at her, and Nan Xi shut up in grievance, and immediately started coughing again.

Zhao Wenxuan just felt upset and his head was buzzing. This stupid woman, this stupid woman!
