After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Shen Nanzhi would not interfere in Shen Kening's marriage. Given Princess Anguo's temper, she would only feel that she was taking advantage of someone's misfortune and gloating over someone else's misfortune, deliberately choosing such a bad man for her daughter in order to humiliate and retaliate against her.

She went straight to find Duke Shen and asked his biological father to handle the matter. While waiting for him to come, she also called Zhang Youqing. She had a good first impression of this young man.

Zhang Youqing was very nervous and was shaking while performing the salute, trying hard to maintain his decency and not lose his composure.

Shen Nanzhi's expressionless face made Zhang Youqing kneel down directly: "Greetings, Princess. Your humble servant Zhang Youqing pays respects to the Princess."

"Master Zhang, do you have anything to say about what happened between you and Miss Shen?"

Zhang Youqing said: "Princess, I am very clear about this. Miss Shen and I are indeed in love, but we have never done anything against etiquette and law. Everyone in the orphanage can testify to this.

I originally wanted to find an official matchmaker to go to the Princess's Mansion to propose marriage, but it was Miss Shen who wanted to ask the Princess to be a middleman and ask the Princess for advice."

Shen Nanzhi rolled her eyes at the girl and said, "If your mother knew that you came to me first, she would scold you for being a traitor and would be even more sad."

Shen Nanzhi said it very bluntly. If she had a daughter like this, who was close to her enemies and not to herself, she would probably be angry to death.

Children are a debt. The hardest part of raising a daughter is the hurdle of marriage. After all, she is going to marry into someone else's family. Her parents are just guests and can take care of some things, but not much. One has to pray to God that the husband's family has a conscience and can treat their daughter better.

Shen Nanzhi was having a headache. She hoped that the first child would not be a daughter. It would be easier to have a son instead.

It's not that she favors boys over girls, but having a brother means that her younger sister will enjoy more benefits. When she gets married in the future, her husband's family will be more restrained because they have the support of her elder brother-in-law.

After all, she is a pregnant woman, and now she has to worry about her children’s future marriages.

Thinking a little too far, Shen Nanzhi came back to his senses and asked Zhang Youqing to stand up. "Sit down, serve some tea, and tell me who's in your family."

Duke Shen just arrived, wearing a black armor, full of murderous aura. The clicking sound made Zhang Youqing shudder noticeably, and he slid off the chair and knelt down: "Subordinate, your humble servant Zhang Youqing pays respect to Duke Shen."

Shen Nanzhi curled his lips. This guy really knows how to scare people. He is not fighting, but he comes here wearing armor and doesn't even feel nervous because it is heavy.

Duke Shen sat down, his cold eyes piercing Zhang Youqing like ice knives. Zhang Youqing began to back out. Miss Shen was a good girl, kind, gentle, innocent and beautiful, but such a father was too cruel. No matter how good the beauty was, her life had to be taken.

"You want to marry my daughter? Tell me, how many lives do you have?"

Shen Nanzhi held his forehead with his hand and asked, "Are you here to sabotage me?"

Shen Ke Ning was not happy, and immediately shook his arm and acted like a spoiled child: "Father, don't be so fierce, it will scare him, he is timid, it's because I like him, father, please agree to it."

Duke Shen was so disappointed that he was not as good as her. He was trying to be tactful and said, "You married her without even asking about her family background. When did the daughters of our Duke's Mansion become so worthless?"

Shen Ke Ning lowered her head and choked up a little: "But my reputation is ruined, how can I find a family of equal status? It's better to find someone I like. I choose to endure hardships and enjoy happiness. Your daughter will ask you for this once, okay?"

Duke Shen softened his heart and said, "It was Dad who failed to protect you."

There are some things that even he is helpless about, as the secular perspective cannot be changed by one's own efforts.

Zhang Youqing bravely said: "Duke, don't worry, I will treat Ke Ning well. I can swear..."

"Get lost, bullshit. I'm also a man. I've sworn more than you've eaten. All a man's oaths are bullshit!"

When Zhang Youqing, a scholar, met this rough man, he really had no idea what he was doing.

Shen Nanzhi had a headache and said, "I asked you to come here to discuss things, not to show off. I'm going to leave now, you two can talk alone.

No, you guys get out, this is my home, if that vicious woman in your family knew about the marriage arranged in my home, I wonder how she would hate me.”

Duke Shen sighed: "Okay, stop bullying me. Do you care whether she hates you or not?"

"No, it doesn't matter this time, haha, you guys continue chatting, I'll just watch for fun."

Shen Kening finally felt guilty and thought that she should not have come. She felt a little regretful, and tears filled her eyes and she cried in grievance.

When she cried, Lord Shen also panicked: "Father is testing him. He doesn't even dare to ask for marriage from our family. He has such little courage. He is a coward. Can he support a family and take good care of you?"

Shen Ke Ning just cried, she didn't know why she was feeling wronged, she just wanted to cry.

Zhang Youqing was also anxious: "Ning'er, don't cry. Although my family is poor, we are not unknown. My father died early, but my uncle is an official in the court. I have asked my uncle to propose marriage, and I will definitely not let you down."

"Who is your uncle?"

"It's Lord Zhang, the Minister of the Dali Temple. I'm his nephew."

"Master Zhang Guangzong, why is your nephew wasting his time in a small orphanage?"

Shen Nanzhi was curious. With Zhang Guangzong's identity, he would definitely be able to get a fifth or sixth rank official position instead of being an insignificant minor official that would bury his talent.

Shen Nanzhi suddenly felt a little envious of Shen Kening. She was the heroine, with a happy family and a daughter of a wealthy family. But something unexpected happened and her reputation was tarnished. She met a minor official and married him casually, and he turned out to be of great origin. What kind of luck was this?

Shen Ke Ning stopped crying: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Zhang Youqing was helpless. "I explained it to you, but you refused to listen and insisted on solving it yourself. How could I dare not listen to you?"

Shen Ke Ning smiled shyly and said angrily: "You should have some opinions of your own. Don't just listen to me."

Zhang Youqing was also embarrassed. "Of course, you are in charge of the family affairs, and I will make the decision on the outside affairs. This is a big matter of marriage, and I don't want to let you down.

My uncle and I had a falling out, and for your sake, I knelt down and begged him for three days before he agreed to help me get married."

In fact, Zhang Guangzong was not happy about it. It was not easy to be the Dali Temple Minister. One had to be clean and not accept benefits or be used against by others. Therefore, the Zhang family had always been content with poverty and was not rich.

Their Zhang family is a clean stream of civil officials, while Duke Shen is a tough military officer. Even though he is a Duke, they are not interested in him. The Zhang family has established themselves in the court with their real abilities, and do not want to be known for seeking fame and fortune.

The Zhang family is still willing to find someone of equal status for their sons and nephews, and not to get along with military generals.

Duke Shen suddenly laughed out loud: "Zhang Siqing, we are old acquaintances. I will go talk to him. You don't have to worry about this matter.

Ning'er, go back and have a good talk with your mother. She is worried that she won't be able to marry into a good family. Let her relax. "
