Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 138 Who is the Wild Man?
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire secret passage fell silent.
Mrs. Shen's heart sank. Although she knew that he was in charge of the East Factory and was well-informed, she never expected that he even knew her hidden identity so well.
Shen Nanqiao could hardly believe his ears. What did he just say?
The previous dynasty? The princess? Her mother?
At this moment, she looked back in confusion, trying to hear more useful information from Ning Su.
But Ning Su stopped talking there and just looked at Mrs. Shen quietly, as if waiting for her to admit it in person.
Mrs. Shen did not say anything, but the way she lowered her eyes almost showed her consent.
Shen Nanqiao seemed to have found a trace of rationality in her confusion. She questioned cautiously with a trembling voice.
"It was several decades ago when Emperor Gaozu conquered the world, right? Even if there were evil deeds from the previous dynasty, the age doesn't match up?"
Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter almost lovingly, and her eyes were tinged with a hint of guilt.
Ning Su calmly held Shen Nanqiao's hand, trying to pass on some strength to her.
"The last monarch of the previous dynasty favored Consort Zhuang the most. It is said that when Emperor Gaozu broke into the palace, he was unwilling to be humiliated and committed suicide with many palace maids. After checking, it was found that Consort Zhuang was the only one missing."
Ning Su looked at Madam Shen, but seeing that there was no obvious change in her expression, he continued.
"Emperor Gaozu was kind and did not intend to kill all of them, so he sent spies to investigate in many ways, but there was no trace of this imperial concubine. Even the third prince born to Imperial Concubine Zhuang is missing." He looked at Madam Shen, "I guess Madam Shen should know what happened next, right?"
Shen Nanqiao's heart was filled with turmoil, but he could not utter a word. He just stared blankly at his biological mother who seemed quite unfamiliar to him.
"The factory minister's guess was correct. After the Third Prince fled the capital with his mother, he hid his identity. But later, Emperor Gaozu died, and the successor emperor was unwilling to let go of the evildoers of the previous dynasty. The Third Prince had no choice but to entrust his legitimate daughter to the old minister, and took the initiative to commit suicide, deliberately letting the monarch at the time discover the body, and from then on believed that this line of the previous dynasty was completely extinct."
Shen Nanqiao's fingertips were cold. It turned out that her grandfather was not her biological grandfather?
Then I heard my mother continue.
"Originally my adoptive parents wanted to train me to be a lady from a noble family and send me to the palace. But I didn't want to live in hatred, so I gave up the idea before the talent show."
"Then why did Madam choose to marry Shen Mingde?" Ning Su frowned slightly, "Staying away from the troubled capital was the best choice at the time, right? Or did you suddenly regret it and want to seek revenge as my wife?"
Mrs. Shen's expression finally showed a slight fluctuation.
She paused and spoke in a trembling voice.
"I'm sorry I can't speak frankly about this."
"Of course." Ning Su nodded generously, "Madam, you don't need to explain to me."
Mrs. Shen turned to Shen Nanqiao. Her emotions had obviously stabilized a lot now.
"I can only say that someone discovered my identity at the time. If I had stayed in the Shen family, the entire mansion would probably have been implicated." She sighed, "The old lady has always been kind to me, and you will get married in the future, so your family must not fall. So I had no choice but to come up with the idea of faking my death..."
"Then why don't you go back to your grandparents' home?"
A flash of guilt flashed across Mrs. Shen's eyes.
Aunt Ma took two steps forward and spoke in a trembling voice.
"Madam is worried about you, she would rather stay by your side in the dark, wanting to see the second young lady get married..."
Shen Nanqiao stood there in a daze, unable to describe what he was feeling at that moment.
Complaints, anger, surprise, after all the emotions, it seems that only endless confusion remains.
Ning Su put his arm around her shoulders and nodded to Mrs. Shen.
"If Madam insists on leaving now, I can send someone to escort you out of the city." He glanced at the little girl in his arms, "As for Qiao Qiao, leave the rest of your life to me."
Mrs. Shen took a deep breath.
She believed what Ning Su said.
However, before seeing her daughter, she could leave calmly and never see her again.
But when this child was really standing in front of her, crying out word by word about all the injustices she had suffered over the years, she felt a little helpless for a moment.
Shen Nanqiao looked at Mrs. Shen's expression, endured it, and finally spoke.
"If I hadn't come today, where would you have planned to go? Back to your grandparents?"
Mrs. Shen shook her head.
"Your grandparents are old, they should be enjoying their retirement. There's no need for them to worry about me."
Shen Nanqiao looked into her eyes, his tone even tinged with sarcasm.
"So? You plan to live the rest of your life in anonymity and truly disappear from this world?"
A strange silence spread between the mother and daughter, and Ning Su raised his eyes slightly.
"Madam decided to fake her own death. Was there any other reason besides her identity?"
Mrs. Shen suddenly turned her gaze towards him.
Shen Nanqiao also looked sideways: "What does this mean?"
Ning Su stopped talking at the right time.
"Just asking casually. I just think that since Madam has the guts to fake her own death, she might be able to divorce and take the child away. With the power you could mobilize at the time, hiding an adult and a child wouldn't be a difficult task." He paused, "Unless you are sure someone can find you."
Having said that, even if Shen Nanqiao was slow-witted, he could still understand the general idea.
Shen Jingyi's previous words suddenly came to my mind.
Her mother has someone outside, and she wants to hide from that person!
"Is it him?" She heard her voice trembling. "Who is that person?"
Mrs. Shen turned her head away.
The anger that Shen Nanqiao had just suppressed rose again because of this action.
"You still want to hide it from me? Shen Mingde is not my biological father at all!" When she saw Mrs. Shen looking back in surprise, the pleasure of revenge in her heart became stronger and stronger. "Who is that irresponsible man?"
small theater
Shen Nanqiao: I accept losing to my status, but I won’t accept losing to a wild man.
Ning Su [cautiously]: That wild man is your biological father.
