At this time, everyone knew that the stench came from the Minister of War.

Many court officials looked at him with disgust. It was such a hot day, but he hadn't taken a bath for several days. The sour and stinky smell almost made them faint.

The Minister of War's old face turned red and white, he was so angry.

I haven’t taken a shower for just a few days. Do you take a shower every day?

Su Juan sighed, "He doesn't even take a bath. Minister Nie's stinginess is really hopeless."

Everyone was immediately curious, how did taking a bath become associated with being stingy? Could it be that he never took a bath before? That shouldn't be right?

They suddenly discovered that the Minister of War had not changed his clothes for a long time. He kept wearing the same two sets of clothes over and over again. There was a patch on the butt of his official robe. Although it was not very noticeable, it was obvious that he had not changed his clothes for several days.

They can't stand the stench...

Someone murmured quietly, "I wonder how Madam Nie endures this on a daily basis."

Su Juan shook her head repeatedly, [What is there to endure? Minister Nie was kicked out of the house by his wife a long time ago. He can't even step into the house these days. How can his wife have the chance to smell it? ]

Everyone was shocked:!!!

The Minister of War was kicked out of the house by his own wife! ?

When did this happen? I've never heard of this before.

Some people laughed. How could a real man be kicked out of the house by his own wife and reduced to the point where he couldn't even take a bath?

The Minister of War was so angry that his face turned red: Bullshit! I clearly ran away from home! What do you mean I was kicked out? That’s just nonsense!

[In fact, being kicked out of the house is not a big deal, he can just stay at an inn, but he is still stingy and unwilling to spend money. Today he goes to this place to get drunk for one night, tomorrow he goes to that place to get drunk for one night, and from time to time he makes excuses to go to Lou's house to take a bath, which makes him survive like this. ]

Everyone couldn't believe it. This Minister of War was really capable. Although they did notice that he came to their house more frequently during this period, they didn't notice it at all!

At this time, the Minister of War had an ugly look on his face. What does stingy mean?

This is unnecessary spending by this officer. Do you know that money is as hard to earn as shit to eat? ?

[Now that Shangshu Lou is in trouble, he has no place to take a bath, and he only has two robes to wear, so they are bound to stink.]

All:!!!

Good god! It’s been so long since Lou Shiye’s accident, and the Minister of War has never taken a shower! ?

At this time, the court officials standing far away could not help but cover their noses.

What on earth did the Minister of War do to be kicked out of the house by his own wife? Everyone was disgusted and curious at the same time. They couldn't understand how anyone could be as stingy as Nie Yunguang.

Su Juan's leisurely voice came, "Alas, this Madam Nie is so miserable. She married such a stingy husband. She finally celebrated her birthday, but the birthday gift her husband gave her was rouge that he stole from a brothel, and it was used by someone else."

Everyone was shocked, and their eyes turned complicated when they looked at the Minister of War. This Nie Yunguang was really something, giving used things from other people's brothels to his own wife. As a third-rank minister, he was so stingy, and he was not afraid of being laughed at to death if the news got out.

But it doesn’t matter, everyone knows it now anyway, at least no one laughed in front of the Minister of War.

The Minister of War gritted his teeth and put his hands in his sleeves, saying, "You know nothing."

It would be such a waste to throw away the rouge after only using it one or twice. I took it back for my wife because it was brand new. Frugality is a virtue in our dynasty. You bunch of rabble don't understand what I mean at all!

[Only Madam Nie would cut her robe to vent her anger. If it were me, I would beat him to a pulp.]

Someone immediately remembered that it was Mrs. Nie who cut the big hole on the butt of the Minister of War's official robe!

I'm afraid that Mrs. Nie had cut the buttocks specifically. After all, given Shangshu Nie's stingy personality, she would definitely not be willing to throw it away, so she would just mend it and continue to wear it.

She really studied her husband thoroughly.

No wonder the clothes worn by the Minister of War recently all had a big patch on the buttocks, making them think it was some fashionable style in the capital.

[I don't know what Madam Nie wants from him. He's obviously old and doesn't like to take a bath... maybe he even has athlete's foot.]

Some court officials had disgust on their faces, and just by hearing what Su Juan said, they seemed to smell something.

Some even stared at the Minister of War's feet. He hadn't even taken a bath, so these feet were probably washed too. Just thinking about the smell made him feel so nauseous that he almost vomited the breakfast he had just had.

The Minister of War was furious. He said, "When I was young, I was handsome and many ladies in the capital were attracted to me. It was a blessing for them to be liked by me!"

What athlete's foot? That's nonsense!

Faced with Su Juan's slander, the Minister of War at this time could not explain himself. Because of his stench, no one wanted to get close to him. He even wanted to take off his boots to prove his innocence.

When the old emperor appeared, they were talking about it. When they heard that the Minister of War had not bathed for a while and his body was sour and smelly, he was glad that he was sitting on it.

But as soon as Keren sat down, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he actually smelled a sour odor and his expression froze.

[The old emperor doesn't look very well. Could it be that he also smelled the stench? ]

All the ministers immediately looked at the old emperor. No way, Your Majesty is so far away, how can he still smell it?

The old emperor looked grim and even unwilling to breathe.

I am the ruler of a country, and you want me to smell other people's stinky feet! ?

[The Minister of War is awesome! Even the old emperor has noticed it. You have made it big!]

However, the Minister of War was in a state of despair, and everyone kept their distance from him.

The old emperor wanted to order the Minister of War to go back and correct his appearance, but these were, after all, the ministers' own private affairs, and it was not easy for him as the emperor to interfere.

...

When the morning court was over, the Minister of War stopped Su Juan.

Su Juan was confused but still held her breath: "?" [What's wrong with him? ]

Upon hearing this, all the court officials immediately slowed down their pace and pricked up their ears to listen.

The old emperor, who had already left the palace, suddenly came back. It was because he hadn't listened to Su Juan's muttering for a long time, and he felt a little bored these days.

At this time, the Minister of War was so angry at Su Juan that his face turned black and red. If he didn't have a good life, Su Juan wouldn't have an easy life either!

He pretended to be friendly and said to Su Juan, "I remember that it has been quite a while since Yuanwailang got divorced. I think it is time for Yuanwailang to prepare for his marriage."

Su Juan looked at him in confusion, not understanding the purpose of his sudden speech. [Are you okay? You haven't figured out your own marriage, and you're still meddling in other people's marriages?]
