Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 141 Mother Encountered Prince Cheng
After calling out "Mother", Shen Nanqiao seemed to have untied half of the knot in her heart.
Although the relationship between mother and daughter in the past two days is not as close as it was in the past, it is much more relaxed than before in the secret passage.
Humans are emotional animals, and many wounds cannot be healed overnight, but having a beginning is always better than being complete strangers, so both parties are very satisfied with the current situation.
Ning Su did not interfere in the whole matter.
The mother is Fentanzi's mother. Love, hate, and emotions are all matters between mother and daughter. If outsiders get involved, things will become distorted.
So he kept a distance from the matter, and deliberately went out early and came back late in the past few days to give the mother and daughter enough space to communicate.
Shen Nanqiao appreciated this favor. Although Ning Su did not put himself in the position of a son-in-law, he at least gave her enough freedom.
In addition to asking the servants to keep their mouths shut, Shen Nanqiao also thought of some ways to repair the relationship within the emotional scope.
Mrs. Shen has lived in a secret room all these years and rarely sees the sun. At first, she was afraid of the light and didn't like seeing people.
Shen Nanqiao carefully helped her find a house that was in the shade and out of the sun, and ordered the heating to be turned on high. He also only sent Linglong to serve her alone for the past two days.
Amber sensed something was wrong and tried to probe Linglong several times, but was always brushed off with a simple move.
After the last jewelry substitution incident was discovered, Amber was very well behaved for a few days, but recently Shen Nanqiao was busy entertaining female relatives during the New Year banquet, so he relaxed his control over her.
However, after hearing what Linglong told her, she had another idea in mind and asked Madam Liu to send someone to keep a secret eye on her.
Shen Nanqiao has been very busy these past two days.
She accepted the invitation to a banquet hosted by the eldest princess on New Year's Eve, and also wanted to take the opportunity to invite Lin Jingshu and Zhou Fangrui over.
After Emperor Ming learned about this through various channels, he forced Ning Su to find a way to bring the crown prince over that day.
"All the ladies, he came to the study, right?" Shen Nanqiao was puzzled, "Then what's the point of his coming?"
"The emperor is going to confront the empress dowager within the first month of the year. I heard that the Sun family has brought in a legitimate granddaughter from a branch family these days. I'm afraid they won't give up." Ning Su took off his cloak and explained in detail, "So the emperor wants him to take another look at Miss Lin. Whether it's okay or not, at least he should get a reply."
Shen Nanqiao seemed to be thinking about something.
Although Ning Ziyu's incident happened at the New Year's Eve banquet that day, she saw the flirting between the prince and Lin Jingshu.
It is too early to say that they like each other, but at least they feel that there is something attractive about each other.
There is a lot of potential here.
Even if you are just living together, you have to have a good impression of each other at the beginning.
She thought for a moment and made up her mind.
"Bring him here that day. I'll find a way to let him meet Miss Lin. If the two of them are interested in each other, the emperor will have more confidence when he confronts the empress dowager."
"Even if it's unintentional, the emperor should make plans early and not delay the girl. I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo is very anxious and is trying every means to marry his daughter off as soon as possible."
Ning Su changed into his casual clothes as he spoke. The dark brocade clothes made his facial features look even more delicate.
Although they were facing each other day and night, who doesn't like a good-looking appearance? Shen Nanqiao took a few more glances with a clear conscience.
Ning Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only pretend he didn't see it.
Mrs. Shen didn't come out often these past two days, so it was just the two of them having dinner together.
Whether life is prosperous or not usually depends on the number of people in the family. Such a cold and lonely year will naturally seem a bit lonely.
At the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion, the old lady sent people to invite Shen Nanqiao several times, but she refused every time on the grounds of being unwell.
Mrs. Shen advised her twice for this.
"My son-in-law has no parents and no children. You two are just sitting there with nothing to do. It would be better for you to go over there and have some fun."
Shen Nanqiao smiled.
"Mother, what do you think my husband felt when I treated Ning Ziyu in the past?"
Mrs. Shen was choked by these words and never mentioned it again.
However, having said that, Shen Nanqiao was still somewhat unsure when facing Ning Su. After all, before she got married, Ning Su had to report there in the first month of the year.
"I have replied to the old lady's invitation several times. Do you want to go and take a look?" Shen Nanqiao asked while serving the soup. "Also, when we host the banquet, should we also send an invitation to the marquis' wife? Otherwise, you will be embarrassed."
Ning Su took the bowl she handed over.
"These are matters of the harem. You can decide for yourself. There is no need to ask me about everything." He thought for a moment, "If you get into trouble, or if there is something you can't solve, it won't be too late to tell me."
Shen Nanqiao glared at him in reproach, as if she was always causing trouble and needed someone to clean up the mess. She couldn't help but defend herself.
"I'm not as useless as you say. Now many ladies in the capital are praising you for marrying a virtuous wife."
Ning Su has been in a high position for many years and has seen many kinds of people, but this is the first time someone has boasted so much in front of him.
So I couldn't help laughing.
"So, it's really my ancestors who have accumulated merits."
Shen Nanqiao felt a little embarrassed after realizing it, but he couldn't take back what he had boasted about, so he straightened his back.
"Be with each other."
Ning Su was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted he couldn't help laughing out loud.
The atmosphere was just getting good when suddenly someone outside came to say that Prince Cheng wanted to see him.
Ning Su's expression remained calm, but he flatly refused.
"Just say that the Governor is not at home."
Before he finished speaking, King Cheng strode in.
"Your ability to tell lies with open eyes is getting better and better."
Ning Su's expression remained calm, and he didn't show any embarrassment at all for being caught red-handed.
"My wife and I are enjoying our family life together, and I just don't want to be disturbed." He squinted at Prince Cheng, "Your Majesty is a lone man, but you are here to eat and drink for free? And your attitude is so bad? Shouldn't you be more polite to the host?"
Even though Prince Cheng was well aware of Ning Su's temper, he was still choked by these words.
Ning Su could be rude, but as the mistress, Shen Nanqiao naturally could not neglect the guests.
She asked someone to bring more bowls and chopsticks, and instructed the kitchen to prepare some new dishes.
"Your Highness, I am grateful that you have not rejected my humble home's simple meals. Why don't you share some with me?"
For some reason, Prince Cheng had an inexplicable fondness for the factory official's wife. Even if it was due to loving the woman and loving her family, it seemed a bit too much.
Shen Nanqiao did not have such a feeling towards Prince Cheng. She just felt that this man was Ning Su's ally, and he saved her life two days ago, so he might be more friendly to her than others.
Moreover, Prince Cheng has sharp features, an upright figure, and a heroic spirit in his bones. He is a completely different type from Shen Mingde.
To put it bluntly, it actually better fits Shen Nanqiao's expectations of a father's image. Because of this little expectation, she will appear to be more amiable than before.
"I won't eat your meal for nothing today." King Cheng boasted to Ning Su, "The clue you asked me to follow has already been solved."
Ning Su raised his eyebrows.
"Didn't the Queen Mother put pressure on you to stop interfering in this matter?"
King Cheng chuckled.
"Do I look like someone is driving me? Lao Jiu's wife also came to me and asked me to show mercy."
"The Ninth Prince used to have a good personal relationship with you. How could you bear to offend his wife?" Ning Su's words sounded a bit sarcastic.
Prince Cheng glanced at him.
"Don't try to provoke me. Since I intend to take charge of this matter, I will not be influenced by others." He paused, "I already know the whereabouts of the person. I have already asked people to catch him. He will be sent directly to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. You just wait and see the excitement."
Seeing that the maidservant had gone downstairs to urge for the dishes but had not returned for a long time, Shen Nanqiao was afraid that she would be late for the show, so he was about to go and check it out himself.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Mrs. Shen coming over with a bowl of steaming soup.
"I heard that you had your period these two days. This is the recipe my grandmother gave me. It is the best for warming the uterus and protecting the stomach. Drink it while it is hot. I guarantee you won't feel any pain in the next two days."
She spoke softly, but both people in the room were martial artists and had excellent hearing.
Upon hearing this, Prince Cheng's face changed drastically, and he felt that the voice was very familiar.
Mrs. Shen outside the door was completely unaware and continued to look at her daughter lovingly.
"Go in quickly and drink it while it's hot. If it gets cold, it will lose its effect."
Shen Nanqiao smiled and didn't take the bowl of soup.
"I'll go ask someone to prepare the dishes first. I'll come back to drink later. Mother, please take it back for me." She glanced into the house. "Prince Cheng is here. It's not good to let people say that we didn't entertain him well."
Before she finished her words, there was a clang and the bowl in Mrs. Shen's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Before Shen Nanqiao could react, he saw Mrs. Shen being awakened by the noise.
"My hand slipped and I didn't take it out. I'll get you another bowl."
