Mistakenly Connected to the Jade Flower Branch

Nan Hua said, "Nan Fei, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I need to check if the palace servants are ready. I won't be going back with you today."

An Liangchen said, "That's fine, then let's have lunch at the Nan residence tomorrow at noon."

Nan Hua said, "...I'll be busy with the family banquet at the palace tomorrow. How could I possibly have time to go back?"

An Liangchen said, "How about the day after tomorrow? It's rare for Nanfei to come back..."

Nan Hua touched her belly and cried out in pain. An Liangchen quickly helped her up: "What's wrong?"

Nan Hua said, "Ah Feng, please tell our parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law that I'm not feeling well and need to rest. Nan Fei, come to the palace to pick me up when you're feeling better. You two go first... I'm not feeling well, we'll be going now."

Nan Hua tugged at An Liangchen's sleeve, and the two got into the carriage and left.

Nanfei watched their performance with cold eyes and sneered, "Cowardly, heartless, and shameful..."

The carriage stopped in front of the Nan Mansion. Yuan Feng got out and carried Nan Fei on her back. Before she had taken two steps, a group of people surrounded her, with Master Nan and Madam Nan at the front.

Did someone tip them off beforehand? So many people? The entire household mobilized?

Yuan Feng had no choice but to put Nan Fei down and wrap her arms tightly around his waist. Nan Fei put his arm around Yuan Feng's shoulder for support.

All the emotions that everyone had prepared beforehand were wasted. There was no time to shed tears, no time to offer a warm welcome, and all that remained was a face full of shock.

Madam Nan asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Gu Yu was prepared and answered in advance: "Reporting to the old lady, Young Master Nan's leg was broken by the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."

I heard that he was picked up by the Crown Prince at the city gate in the morning, but his leg was broken by the Crown Prince Nan Hua when he returned home in the afternoon?

Madam Nan was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes, and Xiao Cui quickly helped her up, saying, "Madam, don't worry."

Nanshan stepped forward and helped Nanfei up: "What exactly happened?"

Nanfei opened his mouth: "Brother..."

Gu Yu didn't give Nan Fei a chance to speak: "Young Master, the young master said it's nothing serious. As long as Young Master Nan pays attention to rest, avoids overwork and anxiety, and doesn't indulge in idleness, he will recover soon. This is a calming and soothing drink prescribed by the young master, which will help Young Master Nan stay calm and undisturbed while resting in bed."

Master Nan quickly took the medicine and said gratefully, "Thank you for your trouble, young master."

"A drink to relieve worries and calm the mind? The name itself sounds ominous!" Nanfei said, "Father, I'm fine. Don't listen to his nonsense."

Gu Yu paused for a moment: "Young Master also said that Young Master Nan is arrogant and conceited, and questions Young Master's medical skills and the medical schools of the world."

"Making a big deal out of nothing?" Nanfei said, "Father, he..."

Master Nan glared at him: "Shut up! You've become arrogant and conceited after being away for a few years? You even dare to question the head of the Tianxia Medical Manor?"

Gu Yu said, "Young Master is a divine physician with a prescription worth a thousand pieces of gold. Considering that Young Master Nan was once a medical apprentice, Young Master will give him a discount and charge him two hundred and fifty taels of silver."

Jun Xinyue put the little wooden piece down and quickly went to get the silver.

Two hundred and fifty taels? Nan Fei was overwhelmed with grief and indignation: "Tell him that from this day forward, I sever all ties with him, cut off all relations, and will never see him again until death do us part..."

Master Nan, Madam Nan, and Nanshan shouted in unison, "Nan Fei..."

Gu Yu said, "Young Master Nan, I will pass on the message."

Little Wood squeezed in front of Nanfei, tugged at his sleeve, looked up at him, and said in a childish voice, "Uncle, pride comes before a fall, humility brings benefit..."

"Even a three-year-old understands this principle, how old are you?" Master Nan trembled with anger and said to Gu Yu, "Nan Fei is young and has a bad temper. He is impolite and ignorant. Young Master, you are magnanimous and cannot hold it against him. I will apologize to him in person when I see you another day."

Nan Fei buried his head in Yuan Feng's shoulder and stopped talking.

Jun Xinyue ran over and handed the money bag to Gu Yu: "Young Master Luo, you've gone to a lot of trouble. You've worked hard, sir."

Gu Yu took the money pouch, turned the horse around, and then stopped: "Madam, the young master specifically instructed that Young Master Nan doesn't like to take medicine. Madam must personally supervise Young Master Nan to make sure he takes the medicine for seven consecutive days without interruption, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Madam Nan nodded vigorously, and Gu Yu left satisfied.

Yuan Feng carried Nanfei on her back and walked inside.

Nanshan said, "I'll carry it..."

Yuan Feng said, "It's alright, I can carry it."

Nanshan had no choice but to lead the way, guiding them to Nanfei's room.

Yuan Feng helped Nan Fei sit down on the bed. Looking at the group of people who had followed, she was about to step aside and give up her seat.

Nan Fei pulled Yuan Feng to sit on the edge of the bed. Little Wood climbed up and sat on the inside, looking at him and Yuan Feng: "Mom said that Uncle is back. He's never seen him before."

Jun Xinyue took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yuan Feng: "Sister-in-law, you've worked hard."

Yuan Feng shook her head and wiped her sweat with her sleeve.

Madam Nan sat on the edge of the bed: "What happened? What exactly happened? Crown Prince, Nan Hua... why did they kick you? And break your leg?"

Nanfei explained, "They didn't kick me. I hadn't been back for several years, and they were angry and wanted to kick me. I fell down the steps when I ran away. Young Master didn't see it and thought they kicked me. Mother, it's all a misunderstanding."

Madam Nan sighed, "I thought you had offended them as soon as you got back. We can't afford to offend the Crown Prince."

Nan Fei said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? If he dares to be impolite to the Nan family, we'll let Ah Feng rebel against them."

Everyone gasped in shock.

Nanshan said in a deep voice, "Young brother, you must not be presumptuous."

Then Madam Nan remembered Yuan Feng and said to her, "General Yuan, thank you for carrying Nan Fei back..."

Having encountered numerous setbacks at the Southern Mansion, Yuan Feng wisely stood up and said, "Then I'll be leaving now."

Nanfei pulled her down to sit heavily, and said with displeasure, "Mother, she is your daughter-in-law, and you call her General Yuan? The Nan family is marrying up to Afeng, and you are still being so distant. Be careful she doesn't divorce you."

Master Nan retorted angrily, "What do you mean by 'climbing the social ladder'?"

Nanfei said, "Ah Feng is a second-rank official, and my father is a third-rank official. I have no official position, no job, and no income; I rely entirely on her for support. Isn't that climbing the social ladder? My father taught us from a young age to be honest and not to take advantage of others and then act innocent..."

Madam Nan said, "Your father was promoted to Minister of Justice a few months ago, and he is now a second-rank official."

Nan Fei said with an upright expression, "How can that be the same? Ah Feng is young and earned her second-rank title through her own abilities; Father is quite old and only got promoted to second-rank because of the Crown Princess..."

Pointing at Nan Fei, Master Nan said to Madam Nan, "Look at him! What has he learned these past few years? What kind of talk has he been saying? Girls are always drawn to the outside world..."

Nanshan reminded him, "Dad, Nanfei is our son."

Master Nan, his beard bristling and eyes wide, exclaimed, "A son who marries into the family is not even as good as a daughter who marries out..."

Old Master Nan shook his head, flicked his sleeves, and left.

Madam Nan scolded, "Look at you! You've made your father so angry. What kind of behavior is this?"

Nanfei: "Mother, Ah Feng and I are getting married by imperial decree. It's a grand wedding with a ten-mile-long procession. She's the daughter-in-law of the Nan family... uh, son-in-law is fine too."

"It was one thing when I wasn't home. But now that I'm back, you're still treating her coldly, clearly disrespecting the Emperor and refusing to acknowledge this marriage. Mother, this is a grave crime of deceiving the Emperor. We can't afford to offend the Crown Prince, and we certainly can't afford to offend the Emperor."
