Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Nan Xi learned from the original owner's memories that her grandfather, General Nan Zhenwei, commanded an army of 300,000 men. For generations, the Nan family army had guarded the northern border of Dai Viet, forming a crucial line of defense against the Liang Dynasty's cavalry advancing southward.

When the original owner was six, his father, Nan Rong, died on the battlefield. His mother, Liu, was so grief-stricken that she died with him. The original owner was sent back to the capital to be raised by his grandfather, and from a young age, he spent countless hours wielding swords and clubs alongside the soldiers.

However, General Nan was, after all, a rough and tumble man. He was capable of killing enemies on the battlefield, but he didn't care much for the intricacies of life in the inner chambers and the capital, nor did he require the original owner to learn the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting that the noble ladies of the capital practiced. He basically gave the original owner a free-range lifestyle.

The original owner's personality appeared outwardly outgoing, but due to the death of her parents, she was actually somewhat self-conscious and timid. As a result, she didn't have a very good reputation among the noble ladies in the capital, and she had few friends.

The scumbag Zhao Wenxuan, born in a poor family, was a gifted scholar. He won the imperial examination and was spotted by the original owner while riding a horse in a parade. The original owner went back and begged her grandfather to marry Zhao Wenxuan.

General Nan couldn't resist his only granddaughter and put aside his dignity to ask the emperor for permission to marry him. A few days later, the general's mansion really received the imperial decree granting the marriage.

The original owner was delighted. Even more surprising was that, despite the emperor's gift of marriage, Zhao Wenxuan still prepared the three letters and six ceremonies and personally went to the general's residence to propose marriage ten days later. This gesture, the original owner believed, was a sign of genuine sincerity, and her heart fell in love.

General Nan was quite pleased with his future grandson-in-law's move, and when he married, he gave nearly half of the original general's estate as a dowry. After the marriage, he was generous and used the general's estate's influence and connections to help Zhao Wenxuan rise through the ranks.

In fact, when the original owner first got married, she was living quite well. At that time, Zhao Wenxuan and Old Madam Zhao mainly used deception to persuade the original owner to use her dowry to supplement the Zhao family.

But a year later, when the original owner still hadn't conceived, Madam Zhao started to act up, imposing all sorts of rules and making indirect accusations against her. The original owner, feeling that her pregnancy wasn't going well, chose to be humble and endure the pain.

Emboldened, the mother and son began to gradually test the original owner's bottom line. First, they took away the original owner's housekeeping power on the pretext of something, then said that since she was the housekeeper of Old Lady Zhao, she couldn't always ask her daughter-in-law for money. Then they took away the original owner's dowry and her prospects.

Finally, Old Madam Zhao hinted that she wanted to take a concubine for Zhao Wenxuan and expand the Zhao family.

The original owner was completely focused on Zhao Wenxuan, not caring much about property or household management. The only thing she refused to compromise on was taking a concubine. For this, Old Madam Zhao often pointed her finger at her, scolding her for being "jealous and unfilial," and often making her kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment, often for long periods of time.

Zhao Wenxuan initially pretended to refuse the old lady's request for a concubine, even trying to appease the original owner. Later, he said that he didn't want Nan Xi to be accused of being unfilial, so he decided to let his cousin take him in as a concubine. He assured the original owner that he wouldn't touch her. At this point, the original owner, still foolishly believing in Zhao Wenxuan's feelings for her, agreed.

Min Rouer was carried into the mansion in a sedan chair. On the day of entering the mansion, they were supposed to offer tea to the original owner, but Zhao Wenxuan said: why not skip all these conventional rituals, and there is no need for the usual greetings - "There is no need to come to bother you and affect our relationship as husband and wife."

The naive original owner believed it again.

Eight months later, Min Rouer gave birth to a daughter, Zhao Waner, the heroine of the world. Although Zhao Wenxuan claimed that Zhao Waner was born prematurely, the original owner was not stupid, so how could he not think too much?

The baby was born fair and tender, with black hair, and it was obvious that he was well-fed and raised at full term.

She simply couldn't imagine how many tricks were involved in this matter.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

The original owner realized belatedly that ever since Min Rouer came into the mansion, her husband had been making excuses for being busy with official duties and rarely came to her room. He must have been with Min Rouer every day.

It’s a pity that the concubine’s daughter has already been born. Even if she is angry now, can she strangle her to death?

And for some reason, since Aunt Min came into the mansion, her health has been getting worse and worse. Her menstruation is always irregular and it is indeed inconvenient for her to sleep with Zhao Wenxuan.

After considering various factors, I finally swallowed my anger.

Since her daughter's one-month-old birthday, Min Rouer had insisted on coming to pay her respects to the original owner every morning. Zhao Wenxuan and Old Madam Zhao would often argue with her about various lawsuits, which only made the original owner even more upset and her health deteriorated day by day.

In the original world, Zhao Wenxuan came to her compound today and told her he was going to elevate his wife, causing the original owner to faint. Then, Nan Xi traveled through time. In the original owner's memory, although this attempt to elevate his wife failed due to the strong interference of the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion suffered a great blow afterwards, falling into decline and ultimately collapsing. The original owner died of depression not long after.

The original owner's soul did not dissipate immediately after death. She saw Min Rouer snuggling in Zhao Wenxuan's arms:

"My sister is so pitiful, there's not even a child crying behind her... Sob, sob, sob, in fact, if it weren't for me back then... Sob, sob, sob, maybe my sister and cousin would have a legitimate son or daughter to enjoy the happiness of now."

"Rou'er, you are too kind-hearted. This is not your fault. She is just not destined to have this blessing"!

Zhao Wenxuan hugged Min Rouer tightly with a gentle look on his face: "It's because the general's mansion attracted the attention of His Majesty. Only if that stupid woman has no children can our Zhao family have no worries."

"But my sister is your original wife after all. I should have taken good care of her funeral affairs, buried her body in the Zhao family's ancestral tomb, and then performed my concubine's ceremony to pay homage to her tablet every day. But..." Min Rouer looked up at Zhao Wenxuan with tears in her eyes, with a little guilt in her eyes: "But... my sister's body... After all, my sister passed away at a young age, and many old members of the Nan family army are still there. What if..., cousin, Rouer is a little scared"!

Min Rouer spoke hesitantly, saying half and leaving the other half, but Zhao Wenxuan had a look of understanding on his face.

The original owner was shocked when he saw this!

She couldn't bear to think that the truth behind her infertility and death was this!

No wonder I've been in good health since I was a child, but haven't conceived a single time since I got married. The court doctor only said it was due to a cold uterus, making it difficult to conceive. Could it be that this couple had tampered with me? And the medicine I took every day after I got sick... but why did it mention His Majesty?

Before the angry original owner had time to think about it, he saw Zhao Wenxuan say coldly: "She is just a rude and stupid daughter of a criminal. She is not worthy of entering the ancestral tomb of my Zhao family."

Then he continued, "If it weren't for His Majesty's secret order to seize the military power of the General's Mansion, how could I have endured the disgust and married such a stupid woman? In my heart, Rou'er, you are my first wife. A hundred years from now, having you by my side is enough for me."

"My dear husband, you are so kind to Rou'er" ... Min Rou'er threw herself into Zhao Wenxuan's arms again with a touched face. Zhao Wenxuan patted her back with a smug look on his face: "The Nan family has been completely eradicated. Tomorrow, His Majesty will summon me to an audience and I will definitely reward you. When the time comes, I will ask His Majesty to grant you the title of legal wife. In this way, the baby you are carrying will be our legitimate son. You shouldn't overwork yourself right now. Go back to the courtyard and take good care of yourself."

The original owner understood everything at this point, and his entire soul was trembling with anger.

She wasn't really stupid, but she had never imagined that the man beside her would scheme against her from the very beginning, not only preventing her from having children, but even taking her life and destroying the entire general's mansion!

Then, those letters of treason found in Grandfather's study... Thinking back to every time she returned to the General's Mansion, Zhao Wenxuan would "thoughtfully" tell her to wait in Grandfather's study so they could have a little private chat - what else was there to not understand right now?

With a rage that could destroy the world rising in her heart, she desperately pounced on Zhao Wenxuan again and again, trying to scratch his face and drag him to death together, but it was all in vain.

Zhao Wenxuan, with a look of concern on his face, ordered Min Rouer to be sent away. Then, with a scowl on his face, he ordered her remains to be burned. Then, with a cold expression on his face, he ordered her ashes to be dumped on the streets of the city, to be trampled upon.

Out of extreme resentment, the original owner's soul was captured by the Quick Travel Bureau, and the original owner was not aware of what happened later.

"Jiujiujiu, does the original owner have any wish?"

[Some hosts. The original owner's wish is part of the world quest.]

[The original owner's wish is: First, to avenge the original owner and the General's Mansion. Second, to take revenge on the scumbag and the bitch. Third, to give birth to a child to continue the General's Mansion's bloodline.]
