Chapter 1435: Chapter 1435: Sending Away the Plague God

"You are now a Xie Family woman and should prioritize Xie Family, giving face to them. Even if your Ji Family has money, you shouldn’t belittle the Xie Family like this. Moreover, what does your Ji Family have besides a little money? Nothing at all, honestly speaking, just a lowly merchant."

"And the Xie Family is a family of generations of scholars and farmers. The great-grandfather of the family even passed the scholar examination. Although the generation of Company Commander Xie has abandoned literature for military, Company Commander Xie is still a genuine official. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with, being a daughter of a lowly merchant family, able to marry into the Xie Family? Even your grandfather wouldn’t dare belittle the Xie Family and greatly respects Company Commander Xie, let alone you?"

Nanny Tao spoke bluntly and without mercy, making Ji Zhenniang cry after just a few remarks.

Nanny Tao continued sternly, "Wipe your tears; no crying allowed. You dare cry after making a mistake? Crying all day long would chase away your fortune. A daughter-in-law like you would have been sent home if you had entered any other family but the Xie Family."

Ji Zhenniang had stopped crying out loud, hurriedly wiping away her tears.

Nanny Tao kept on speaking, "You know how many flaws you have. It’s only because Company Commander Xie and the Xie Family People are tolerating you. If it were someone else, you’d have been beaten to death long ago."

Ji Zhenniang bit her lip, sobbing and not daring to retort or cry too loudly.

After finishing, Nanny Tao advised, "I’ve taught you, when facing issues, no matter what they are, the first thing to do is to think of ways to resolve them, not getting angry. We’ve explained the matter with Xie Huaihua to you; I won’t say more. If you’re still dissatisfied with Xie Huaihua, think of a way to resolve it. Even selling her would be better than constantly seeing her and being displeased."

"Sell, sell her? But it’s unfamiliar territory here; what if she’s sold to bad people?" Ji Zhenniang had thought of selling Xie Huaihua but worried, being near the Northwest where evil people abound and women are scarce. What if some family with many sons buys her and makes her their daughters-in-law?"

Even though Ji Zhenniang dislikes Xie Huaihua, she doesn’t want to ruin her whole life.

Her words showed kindness, and it’s because of this that Nanny Xie remains loyal, and Nanny Tao is still willing to instruct her.

Nanny Tao restated, "If you don’t want to sell her, then think of another way to resolve it. In any case, don’t keep causing arguments."

After saying this, Nanny Tao ceased engaging Ji Zhenniang, turning to Gu Jinli, lifting the thick curtain of the cart window, smiling as she asked her, "Madam, would you like to see more?"

Gu Jinli was startled, realizing and feeling embarrassed, shaking her head, "No, I want to sew the goose down quilt. Aunt Xiong said they’ve already picked out plenty of fine goose down. Once the quilt is sewn, the goose down can be filled in, and we’ll have a goose down quilt."

Goose down quilts are extraordinarily warm.

Nanny Tao kept her smile, "Madam can look more."

Previously, she always felt that although Young Master and Qin San Lang had a good relationship, it lacked a certain sweetness and clinginess. But just now, Young Master showed that clinginess toward Qin San Lang, making Nanny Tao happy inside.

Nanny Tao didn’t persuade further, joining in to help sew the quilt.

Today they started late, aiming to hurry to Humang County, moving at a fast pace. Soldiers ran at full speed, and their carts and mule carts had to speed up too, making it too bumpy to sew, leaving the activity for later.

Before evening, the army finally made it to the station outside Humang County.

Vice General Fang and Vice General Xue set up camp around the station, then led the Company Commanders to escort Fang Tian and Old Lady Fan into the county.

Fang Tian and Old Lady Fan were already awake.

Fang Tian could barely speak but insisted, "The health is improving, keep going, no turning back!"

But in this condition, how could he fight upon reaching the Northwest?

Vice General Fang and Vice General Xue ignored him, offering a few comforting words before stopping.

Old Lady Fan was sobbing weakly, "It’s all because of that Gu Family broom star cursing us... Catch her... I want to burn her and chase away the evil!"

Her words left everyone speechless.

Vice General Fang said, "Old Madam, the Gu Family is Qin San Lang’s wife. Her brother is also the Small Three-Yuan Scholar of Jianghuai. How can we say catch and then catch her? Madam, you should enter the city first, before the gates close, or it will take more effort to enter."

The closer to the Northwest, the more chaotic it became. Many counties and Prefectures closed their gates tightly, and even an army against Kangrong had difficulty entering with just a Token.

Old Lady Fan paid no heed, suddenly recalling rumors, asking Nanny Fan, "How is it? Has it been accomplished? Has Gu Family’s reputation been ruined?"

Vice General Fang and Vice General Xue frowned at hearing this. What did Old Lady Fan mean? Did she still want to harm the Gu Family? Wouldn’t it ever end?

Company Commander Qin was still present. If it really meant harming the Gu Family, regardless of a potentially poor relationship, harming his official wife was something no man could tolerate, as it was a matter of face.

Nanny Fan’s legs weakened, hurriedly saying, "Old Madam, please don’t speak these words."

She knew Old Lady Fan believed in ghosts and gods, realizing she was feverish and confused. Leaning close to her ear, she whispered, "Old Madam, the Gu Family is King Yan’s daughter. Those spreading rumors were eaten last night, entirely consumed. And you also suddenly had a high fever last night... Old Madam, King Yama is supporting his daughter. We must stop, or the whole Fan Family will suffer."

Old Lady Fan was evidently a strong believer, fainting in fright at these words!

Luckily she passed out quickly; otherwise, one word against Gu Jinli and Qin San Lang would not have spared her, he would have ended her life.

"Old Lady Fan!" Vice General Fang and Vice General Xue were startled, quickly asking Nanny Fan, "Old Lady Fan, is she alright? Should we call a doctor?"

The way they asked showed they didn’t wish for a delay by calling a doctor. If genuinely concerned, they wouldn’t ask but directly call for one.

Nanny Fan smiled, "Generals, don’t worry, the Old Madam is just weak from illness, sleeping now, no need for a doctor. Let’s hurry into the county before the gates close."

"Nanny Fan is right, move, move, let’s go, quickly, get General Fan, Old Lady Fan, General Fan’s concubines, and the possibly pregnant maid, send everyone into the county." Vice General Fang couldn’t tolerate it, wasting no time ordering everyone, the masters, and half-masters of the Fan Family onto carts, all sent into the county.

The manner, akin to sending away a plague god.

After nearly two hours of hustle, as the sky darkened entirely, Vice General Fang and the Company Commanders returned with cold sweat.

Darn it, finally sent away Old Lady Fan, that old hag!
