Quickly wear a child, the villain is more favored, who wants the male protagonist?

The news that Fei Zhen was infected with the plague spread throughout the imperial city in less than half a day, causing the people in the imperial city to panic.

Some people even knelt and kowtowed outside the Marquis's mansion, demanding that Fei Zhen be burned to death immediately...

"Please, Marquis Zhong'an, commit suicide for the sake of the people. We, the common people, kowtow to you!"

"I beg Marquis Zhong'an to commit suicide!"

"I beg Marquis Zhong'an to commit suicide!"

"I beg Marquis Zhong'an to commit suicide!"

"You can't commit suicide. The plague can be transmitted even through corpses. You must burn them to death!"

"This...burning to death? That's not good. Wouldn't it just turn to ashes? The dead should be buried in peace. Just bury them."

"That won't do. What do you know? You know about the plague in Luzhou before? The whole city was almost wiped out! This thing has to be burned. Now, once the plague is discovered, the authorities will seal off the entire village or county, and the dead must be burned."

"Oh my god, it's so horrible, it must be burned to death, it must be burned!"

The people, who were originally conservative and believed that the dead should be buried, were frightened by these words and immediately changed their minds, shouting to burn them to death.

"Burn to death!"

"Burn to death!"

"Burn to death!"

......

The situation in the Marquis' Mansion was in a mess. Liu Ruolan was in charge of the housekeeper's power and should have come out to take charge of the situation, but she hid in her own yard, locked the door and refused to come out.

Zhong Yourong had never experienced such a thing before, and he became ill due to anger.

Fei Shuixin and Fei Yuan had no idea at all. They were selfish and afraid of death. They rarely cared about Zhong Yourong, but now they were rushing to serve her.

No one is willing to take care of Fei Zhen.

Fei Shuixin came to Xia Xizhi several times and asked her to take care of Fei Zhen, but Xia Xizhi pretended to be sick and disappeared.

"My brother is your husband, how could you be so cruel! Don't think I don't know you're feigning illness. You're just afraid of contracting the plague and don't want to go! You're not worthy of being the mistress of the Marquisate!"

"Xia Xizhi! Are you still going to care about my brother? If you don't, I'll publicize you on the streets and let everyone see what kind of person you are!"

Fei Shuixin pinched her waist and yelled at Xia Xizhi's door angrily. She didn't look like a young lady from a marquis's mansion at all, but more like a shrew.

Xia Xizhi scratched his ears in the house and pretended not to hear.

Fei Shuixin had cursed enough and could only leave with a gloomy face.

"Miss, do you really not care about the Marquis anymore?" Xiao Taozi asked in confusion.

The young lady usually loves the marquis so much, why doesn't she care about him at all today...

"How can we manage it?" Lvliu glared at her and poked her forehead with her finger. "Even doctors can't do anything about the plague. Do you want our young lady to be infected too?"

"No, no, miss, that's not what I meant. I'm just curious why you don't care at all..." Xiao Taozi explained quickly with a blushing face.

Xia Xizhi curled his lips and said, "No rush, wait two days, you won't die in two days."

She had checked Fei Zhen when he fainted. It was not a plague, but just a cold and possible facial allergy due to acclimatization. That's why the old doctor thought he had the plague.

But she didn't want to cure him so quickly. How could she cherish something that was obtained so easily?

Only by letting the bad man endure two days of no one taking care of him before she takes care of him can her preciousness be more clearly seen.

-

Two days later.

Fei Zhen, lying on the bed without food or water, was already dying. His lips were pale and cracked, and his dark eyes were full of despair.

He heard the doctor say he had the plague, and he also heard all kinds of noise outside his yard, where everyone was shirking responsibility and no one was willing to serve him.

Even Ruolan, who shared his sentiments, was unwilling to come.

He never thought that Liu Ruolan would treat him like this, that his family would treat him like this. He just felt that his body was still alive, but his body was dead first...

Outside the courtyard wall, the people had been clamoring to burn him to death for the past two days, and he had heard it all.

Fei Zhen coughed violently a few times, then took a few deep breaths... With her trembling body, she tried to get up to pour some water, but her body was weak and she fell back on the bed.

Outside the courtyard wall, the people's shouting became louder and louder, and some extreme people began to throw rotten vegetable leaves into the yard.

Fei Zhen's yard was in the east courtyard, just across the wall from the street. All the rotten vegetable leaves were thrown into his yard, and he could hear the angry curses of the people outside very clearly.

"Burn him!"

"Burn him!"

"Why hasn't Marquis Zhong'an died yet? Do you want to spread the plague to the entire imperial city?"

"Burn him!"

Fei Zhen sighed, picked up the broken bowl on the ground with trembling hands, and pointed at her wrist...

At this moment, a clear voice sounded.

"My husband, Marquis Zhong'an, contracted the disease while trying to control the flood in Liuzhou. He risked his life to go there.

Now that the flood has been resolved, no one is grateful to him. He is not dead yet, but everyone is hoping to burn him alive. What has he done wrong?

If it weren't for him, the refugees caused by the flood in Liuzhou would have already spread to the imperial city. If a plague broke out, who knows how many people would have died in the entire Daye Kingdom! "

"He was a loyal and courageous hero who sacrificed his life for the Great Night Kingdom. You have no right to say that about him!"

Xia Xizhi spoke so forcefully that the crowd immediately fell silent.

Someone muttered, "Indeed, the Marquis of Zhong'an was ultimately responsible for the flood in Liuzhou. He is a hero in this flood..."

Every word Xia Xi said touched Fei Zhen's heart, and his dead pupils suddenly became misty.

"But, but he has the plague. If it is not handled properly, it will infect all of us. What's the point of you saying this? Who are you? Let the Marquis's wife come out. The Marquis's Mansion must give us an explanation." Someone shouted.

"I am the Marquis' wife, and I will explain everything to you now. From today on, the Marquis's courtyard will be completely sealed off. Apart from me, no servants or maids will be allowed in or out."

"I've already told you that if we die, we'll be burned to death. You can rest assured!"

.......

After Xia Xizhi finished negotiating outside, he carried a bunch of vegetables, fruits and meat into Fei Zhen's room.

He put down his things, quickly helped Fei Zhen, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and poured him some water.

With red eyes, she said, "My dear husband, I'm sorry. I came here two days ago to discuss funeral arrangements with my parents. Please don't blame me."

Fei Zhen heard every word Xia Xizhi said during the negotiation outside. Fei Zhen's eyes were already filled with tears. When he saw the small body tremblingly coming in with such a big backpack on its back, he could no longer hold back his tears.

Xizhi, why is she so stupid?

Fei Zhen's voice was horribly hoarse, "Xizhi, you..., get out, now that things have come to this... you should just... "

Xia Xizhi interrupted directly, "Husband! You are my husband, and I am your wife. We will share the same bed in life and the same grave in death. I came here with the intention of dying, and I will not leave! Even if I die, I will die with you!"

I thought to myself, little guy, can’t I defeat you with this?

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence came out, a prompt appeared in front of me, and the love value had reached 95...

Xia Xizhi curled up the corners of his lips. As expected, since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, and only routines can win people's hearts.
