Remarry 9,000 Years Old

There were only four people in the secret passage. After Ning Su said this, their expressions changed.

Shen Nanqiao stood there arrogantly, seemingly calm, but at this moment his heart was completely overwhelmed by anger.

Once upon a time, she thought that all her tragedy was caused by Shen Jingyi and Ning Ziyu.

But if you think about it carefully, if the mother had not faked her death, would things not have come to this point?

Although there is no way of knowing whether her mother in her previous life also passed away after her wedding, people are like this. When there is no way out for something, it is easy to find someone to take the blame.

It seems that only in this way can I give myself an explanation.

And the biological father, whom the mother had never met but who caused her mother to fake her death and hide her identity, naturally became the perfect person to take the blame.

However, what is even more infuriating is that the mother never mentioned the man's identity. Could it be that she still wants to protect him now?

What man could be more important than his own daughter?

This thought made Shen Nanqiao even more furious.

Just as she was about to step forward, Ning Su held her fingers tightly and then gently wrapped them in his palm.

Shen Nanqiao looked over subconsciously, but saw the man nodded at her gently, indicating that she should do it.

He turned his gaze to Mrs. Shen.

"This is not the place to talk. If you don't have anywhere to go for the time being, you might as well stay here first." His tone was calm, as if there was no personal emotion mixed in. "I'm afraid this matter is a long story, but I think that no matter how many causes and conditions there are, I have to give Qiao Qiao an explanation."

These words really touched Shen Nanqiao's heart.

Mrs. Shen glanced at Ning Su, then shifted her gaze to her daughter, and her fingers gripping the bundle gradually tightened.

Shen Nanqiao looked at his mother coldly, wanting to say something but stopping himself, because no matter what he said at this moment, it would seem like he was forcing her to make a decision.

She still had a little hope in her heart, wanting to see if her mother would be willing to stay for her when she faced the choice again after so many years.

Mrs. Shen's face was calm, but the tears in her eyes betrayed her mood at the moment.

She instinctively wanted to refuse, but she also knew that Ning Su would send her away from the capital as he said.

But she also knew that once she took this step, she and Qiao Qiao would truly be strangers from then on.

She felt that she owed her daughter too much in her life.

She had been married to the wrong person, spent her time at home without her biological mother, and now her new son-in-law had found out that she was a child of an unknown father. All of these things were enough to become regrets for her for the rest of her life.

Having made a mistake once, do you want to make the same mistake again?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen bit her lower lip.

"Thank you, Mr. Factory, for explaining everything that needs to be explained. Once we are in a safe place, I will explain everything clearly."

When she said this, there was a calm and composed demeanor in her, indeed she had the legacy of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Shen Nanqiao remembers that when he was a child, his mother did not attach much importance to teaching him etiquette.

She always said that women are subject to many restrictions in the world. If they even criticize their own mothers, what's the point?

So every time the old lady asked the nanny to teach her, her mother would secretly give her a lot of snacks as compensation.

The past came flooding back, bringing with it an unmistakable warmth. Shen Nanqiao tried to control himself, but that inexplicable emotion still threatened to burst forth.

A group of people came out from the secret passage.

Shen Nanqiao turned around and handed the bundle back to Aunt Ma.

"This was given to you as a reward. There's no reason to take it back." She glanced at Madam Shen, hinting, "Raising a son to support you in your old age, and the same can be said for a daughter."

Aunt Ma understood the hidden meaning and immediately smiled.

"I will put the things away right away." She sincerely wished Madam Shen happiness, and the lifeless woman who had been in a slump for years now seemed to be somewhat lively. "Madam, you have endured most of your life, and finally the bitterness has paid off."

Shen Nanqiao didn't say anything.

Aunt Ma just thought that the girl was young and immature, and since they hadn't seen each other for several years, it was not appropriate to be intimate with her in the presence of outsiders.

Then he bowed respectfully.

"Then I'll go back first. Take care, madam and the second young lady." After saying this, he walked away without waiting for Madam Shen to reply.

There were three people left, and Ning Su took the lead to open the small door and go ahead to explore the way.

Shen Nanqiao and Mrs. Shen naturally fell behind.

That place was indeed an extremely inconspicuous place at the end of the back street of West Street. Shen Nanqiao had lived here for more than ten years and had hardly passed by here.

It was late at night and there was not a single person in sight in this already sparsely populated place.

One has to admire the meticulousness of the man who dug the secret path. Does my mother have such a useful person in her hands?

Or was it done by that man back then?

Ning Su seemed to intentionally leave some space for the mother and daughter, so he led the way in front with ease.

Mrs. Shen stole glances at Shen Nanqiao several times. She knew it was inappropriate, but as a mother, she had a natural attachment to her daughter, and she had accumulated guilt over the years.

So when they haven't met, she can still control it with reason, but once they meet, the instinctive mother-daughter love becomes somewhat uncontrollable.

"Is he...is he nice to you?"

It seemed that all mothers would be concerned about this matter, even if they had heard from others how much he loved their daughter, or had witnessed with their own eyes how much he protected her.

But in the final analysis, I still hope to hear Shen Nanqiao admit it personally, so that I can feel at ease.

Shen Nanqiao had expected her to ask something else, so he responded coldly.

"Shouldn't you ask me whether I have lived well these years?"

Mrs. Shen knew that she was still angry, but she also heard a hint of unconscious coquettishness in her tone, so she smiled.

"My daughter, even if she is not living well, will find ways to make herself live well, right, Madam Pingyang?"

"That's what you see now." Shen Nanqiao snorted.

Her words contained resentment and regret.

As Mrs. Shen saw now, she had already been granted a first-rank imperial title at such a young age, a height that an ordinary noble lady could never achieve in her entire life.

The husband she married was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, at least he was protective of her in front of outsiders.

But the mother didn't know about her nightmarish past life.

At that time, her biological mother died early, her father did not love her, and she married the wrong person. Because she was cowardly, she could only be a walking puppet in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Although knowing it earlier is priceless and there is no medicine for regret in life, I always wonder, what if my mother was still here?

Does that give her the confidence to divorce, return home and restart her life?

When Mrs. Shen saw that she was silent, she belatedly realized her son-in-law's identity.

She hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and carefully touched Shen Nanqiao's head.

"It's not easy for a man to be open-hearted to you. So what if he's an eunuch? When you get to my age, you'll find that status and position are not that important. All you want is a true heart."

Shen Nanqiao realized belatedly that his mother was thinking about that matter. He was about to explain, but she had already arrived in front of the carriage.

So I had to swallow back what I had just said.

For Shen Nanqiao, who almost consummated his marriage tonight, it was inevitable that he would feel guilty when hearing such consolation.

After getting on the carriage, there was no conversation along the way, and the carriage returned to Songchangxuan smoothly.

Although most of the people in Songchangxuan were her family, Shen Nanqiao did not dare to take any risks. She dismissed her attendants and only left Linglong.

He also instructed Madam Liu not to allow anyone to enter or leave, and if anyone asked, she should just say that a distant relative had come.

Linglong has been by my side since she was a child, so maybe it would be easier for her to accept this than for others, right?

However, she obviously underestimated her maid's ability to bear it.

Linglong was originally wondering, because she heard that the young lady brought back a distant relative of the Shen family. She racked her brains and finally guessed that maybe someone from her maternal grandparents' family came?

However, we have hardly been in contact in these years. Besides, they can't be considered distant relatives, right?

But after entering the room, she was stunned when she met those eyes.

Even though she was only in her teens when her mother died, Shen Nanqiao looked so similar to her biological mother that she recognized who she was almost at first sight.

"lady……"

She stammered, wondering if she had done anything bad recently, otherwise why would she see a ghost in the middle of the night?
