Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 53 The Prime Minister's Early Death

"Cough, cough... cough cough cough"

Following a violent coughing fit, Nan Xi, supported by Chun Tao and Qiu Tong, walked out, looking frail and weak.

"What...what's the noise..."

"Zhi Qiao, Zhi Xiao... cough, cough cough~ Who wants to break into my yard?"

Zhiqiao and Zhixiao immediately let go when they heard the sound.

His body balance was broken, and Zhao Wenxuan stumbled and fell into the yard, looking immediately in a miserable state.

Nan Xi coughed and said, "Why is my husband so careless when he walks?"

"Zhiqiao, Zhixiao, why don't you help your brother-in-law up... cough, cough..."

Zhiqiao and Zhixiao immediately went forward to support him in a hypocritical manner.

Zhao Wenxuan was both ashamed and angry, and refused to let the two culprits touch him. He immediately waved them away, picked up the fallen fan, and staggered to his feet.

"Nan Xi! You two maids are committing treason. This is extremely despicable!"

"If you still have me as your husband in your heart, sell these two slaves out immediately!"

Nan Xi sneered when she heard this:

"My husband has such great authority!"

"I saw Zhiqiao and Zhixiao being very respectful to you. They did nothing wrong."

"My husband, where did you get mad at me? You're running into my yard, yelling for help! Cough... cough cough!"

"Anyway, my body isn't up to par and it's an eyesore. Could it be that I'm the one your husband really wants to drive away?"

"You! You are unreasonable!"

Zhao Wenxuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. It was the first time he realized that a stupid woman could be so difficult to deal with. He was just going to punish two lowly servants, so couldn't she just be obedient like before?

But thinking of the purpose of coming here, I could only change my tone:

"Forget it, they are just two servants. It's not worth affecting the relationship between us as husband and wife."

"For the sake of my wife, I will not pursue their faults today. Please hurry back to the General's Mansion. I have something for you to do!"

"What do you want, my husband?" Nancy looked surprised.

"You go back to the general's mansion and ask General Nan to come to the palace to ask for an audience with His Majesty. Ask His Majesty to exempt me from the mourning period!" Zhao Wenxuan said with confidence.

Nan Xi's expression was even more surprised, with a hint of disbelief.

"Husband, how could you have such an unfilial thought!"

"When the old lady was alive, she loved her husband so much and worried about his studies and the imperial examinations..."

"Now that she's passed away, I feel this way... cough, cough... As an only son, how could I possibly think of not mourning for my mother?"

Nan Xi said righteously:

"As her daughter-in-law, I absolutely cannot allow my husband to do such an unfilial act..."

"You stupid woman!"

Zhao Wenxuan finally lost his temper and jumped up, cursing:

"How could I marry a foolish and ignorant woman like you?"

"Who cares about your filial piety? You are so stupid that you are not even as good as one finger of Rou'er..."

When Nan Xi heard this, her expression was as if she was struck by lightning.

Her face was pale, her body was shaky, and she was mumbling stupidly:

"Okay, okay... I knew you looked down on me... cough, cough!"

"I-Is it not okay for me to leave? I'll make room for you and Aunt Min..."

"I can mourn for the old lady by myself... Zhiqiao, Zhixiao, pack your things... I, cough! Let's go to the farm..."

After saying that, he fainted.

Chuntao and Qiutong immediately helped Nanxi back to the house, while Zhiqiao and Zhixiao had frosty faces. They quickly picked up Zhao Wenxuan and threw him out of the door.

The gate of Tingxueyuan was slammed shut again under Zhao Wenxuan's incredulous gaze.

Nan Xi hired a carriage from outside the city and took all his people to his farm in the west of the city with great fanfare.

At the same time, public opinion caught up again.

Word quickly spread in the capital about Nan Xi's poor health and her insistence on mourning for her mother-in-law despite her illness. Zhao Wenxuan doted on a concubine so much that the mistress of the household, the official's wife, took the initiative to live in the manor to avoid the concubine's attention.

In fact, Nan Xi let herself go in Zhuangzi and had a great time.

The group ate meat when they should and caught fish when they should, and their daily life was extremely comfortable.

On the first night at Zhuangzi, Nan Xi asked Jiujiujiu to help her find out where the doctor in the Li Mansion was.

Although the 999 system has been lying down and considers itself a useless piece of wood, it immediately perked up and started searching because the host rarely assigned it a task.

"Master, Doctor Li hasn't gone far. He and his family have settled in a village not far from your farm."

"Give me the direction."

[Okay, Master Host]
