Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, Shen Nanqiao's ability to hide his emotions in his two lives was already amazing.

She bowed gently to the eldest daughter of the Xia family.

"Hello, Sister Xia." Seeing that Madam Xia and her daughter were both stunned, she said politely, "According to my father, I do have to call you Sister."

Don't hit a smiling person, Shen Nanqiao lowered his attitude to the utmost. Even Miss Xia couldn't keep a gloomy face, so she had to return the greeting.

"After a marriage, you must obey your husband. Follow the opinions of your husband's family. You should just call me little aunt."

Shen Nanqiao curved his eyebrows and said mischievously.

"Oh, I'm older now, and I have to prepare money to ward off evil spirits. I was originally thinking about whether I could sell my wealth and kowtow to the old lady to ask for good luck."

She has a lively personality and can liven up the atmosphere with just a few words.

Mrs. Xia smiled and led the person to the inner room: "Of course, mother likes pretty and lively girls like you."

"Here they come, here they come, the eldest lady brings guests in..." Before the person even entered the door, the nanny came to announce.

As she shouted, a maid in the house lifted the curtain, and several young ladies and girls poked their heads out and looked at them curiously.

"Don't scare the guests." Mrs. Xia smiled but did not mean to blame. She pulled Shen Nanqiao in.

The Xia family has always been harmonious. Because there is no wife or concubine competing for favor, the family tradition is simple and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Taifu Xia and the old lady loved their legitimate children equally, and basically let them do what they wanted as long as they were not too reckless or rude.

Therefore, the relationship between aunts, sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law is very close, and the children will not suppress their nature. The eldest girl's expression of joy and anger just now shows this. If it were an ordinary family, she would probably be scolded.

Shen Nanqiao felt a surge of envy in his heart. Somehow, he suddenly felt that if he had children in the future, he would raise them according to such family rules.

"Let me see where this fairy came from."

"With such beauty and bearing, it's a pity that she doesn't match that boy!"

Just as she was thinking about it, two women came down and held her on the left and right.

Among all the noble ladies Shen Nanqiao had met before, none was as generous as this one.

People would compliment each other and be polite, but they would never express their true feelings in such a straightforward manner.

"It's me who is not worthy of him." Shen Nanqiao said this sincerely, but ended up getting several disappointed looks.

"What are you talking about?" The lady holding her left hand said angrily, "We have the looks and the character, so how can we not be worthy of each other?"

"That's right." The lady holding her right hand said in a common hatred, "That boy behaves strangely and has a lonely personality. He has nothing to do with anyone."

Shen Nanqiao was besieged by two people and was still a little dazed.

Then Mrs. Xia came up with a smile and rescued her.

"Ignore them, you'll get used to it." She led a few people to the inner room, "I heard that the eldest lady invited you to her house that day. Go there a few more times in the future and you'll get used to it."

Before Shen Nanqiao could react to what kind of unorthodox place the Grand Palace was, he saw an energetic old lady coming out to greet him.

"Let me see if there is any fairy I haven't seen before."

This should be Master Xia’s first wife. Shen Nanqiao was about to bow respectfully when he saw that the other party was visibly stunned.

"You are...Su Tang's child?"

Su Tang was the maiden name of Shen Nanqiao's deceased mother. She was somewhat surprised that after so many years, Old Lady Xia could actually judge her mother's identity from her face.

Even if you ask Shen Hong now, I'm afraid he may not remember what his first wife looked like.

Shen Nanqiao felt a little touched in his heart and bowed seriously.

"My mother passed away a long time ago. It's hard for the old lady to still remember her."

There was a puzzling emotion in Old Lady Xia's eyes. In addition to regret and nostalgia, there was also a hint of respect that Shen Nanqiao could not understand.

She is highly respected and her husband is an imperial tutor admired by everyone. What respect is there for a young woman like her?

Shen Nanqiao shook his head to get rid of the strange thoughts, and saw that Old Lady Xia quickly concealed her emotions and turned around to give instructions.

"Go ask the kitchen to add two specialties, and we want our Huaiyang style."

Shen Nanqiao's heart moved, it turned out that he and his mother were from the same hometown.

"The chef in the mansion's small kitchen is also from Huaiyang. Whenever your mother came here, she would prepare some authentic hometown food for you to try."

She glanced at Madam Xia.

"Go and call your father and his family to come to the main hall for dinner."

It was actually still a bit early to eat at this hour, but Shen Nanqiao knew that it usually took the host a while to prepare the feast, so he followed Mrs. Xia into the inner room.

Miss Xia was not as enthusiastic as her grandmother and aunt, and her expression was still indifferent.

Madam Xia pulled her eldest daughter over and advised her gently.

"She is her, Ning Lingjun is Ning Lingjun, don't take your anger out on her."

Miss Xia bit her lower lip and remained silent.

"In the final analysis, it was your father who was not doing anything right back then. He was drunk and joked about the marriage." Madam Xia patted her daughter's hand, "He never mentioned such a thing from beginning to end."

Miss Xia's expression finally changed a little.

"I don't have to marry him!"

"She didn't say anything afterwards." Mrs. Xia hit the nail on the head. "You just felt uncomfortable watching her marry a new wife, didn't you?"

Ning Su was well-known for not being interested in women, and they were not the only noble ladies who had rejected him back then. It was nothing to be ashamed of, and none of them succeeded in getting married.

But now that the beauty from Gaoling has suddenly gotten married, the ladies naturally have some complicated emotions towards the new bride.

Mrs. Xia glanced at Shen Nanqiao who was surrounded by the crowd, and then her eyes fell on her daughter's face.

"How is it? Are you convinced?"

In terms of appearance, manners, and interpersonal relationships, Shen Nanqiao is impeccable and one has to admit it even if one is not convinced.

Although Miss Xia felt uncomfortable, she had to admit that among all the noble ladies in the capital, the one in front of her was undoubtedly the best candidate to match Ning Su.

She sighed softly and turned to her mother.

"I knew what was going on, but I just didn't get it right away."

"It's hard to say about feelings. Ning Lingjun may not marry only one woman, right?" Madam Xia smiled meaningfully. "This kind of thing, once you have tasted it, you will have two. Plus, with his status..."

Miss Xia looked at her mother in surprise.

"What are you talking about? I'm already engaged to the Xuan family!"

Mrs. Xia shrugged.

"It's not decided yet. If you can find a reason to give up this marriage, it's not impossible."

She had never mentioned this before, and even Miss Xia was stunned when she heard it.

Mother, are you asking her to be Ning Su's concubine?

"The Xia family's ancestral precepts prohibit you from becoming a concubine of a high-ranking family." She tried to remind Mrs. Xia.

But I heard what the other party said.

"The concubines in the palace are also concubines. If such a day comes, will your grandfather stop you from entering the palace?"
