Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 143 You won’t live long enough to speak

Pingyuan Hou's smile froze on his face instantly because of these words.

Subconsciously looking up, he saw Prince Cheng, who was known for his unwillingness to make friends with his colleagues, coming over with Ning Su and his wife.

He was just wondering when he heard King Cheng's words.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have become more polite. But I can understand that. After all, this is the first grandchild, right? Even if he is a concubine's child, he is still very important, right?"

Prince Cheng adopted the tone of a warrior who was not good at conversation, and every word he said was piercing.

Pingyuan Hou clenched his back teeth, unable to find a word to refute, and had to servilely try to please.

"I really have to thank the prince for what happened today. He saved my family's reputation from danger..."

Of course, if the news that Shen Jingyi was kidnapped for several days and nights were to get out, Ning Ziyu would definitely be ashamed, and the entire Pingyuan Marquis Mansion would be even worse!

However, before he could finish his words, King Cheng waved his hand.

"Don't thank the wrong person. I'm just doing you a favor. If it weren't for Madam Changchen's repeated requests, this kind of trivial matter wouldn't be worth the trouble for Yanyun Guards to take action."

The arrogance that Shen Jingyi had just shown in her verbal battle with Su Wan'er was instantly wiped out by this sentence. Did she still have to accept this favor from Shen Nanqiao?

Then Shen Nanqiao smiled gently.

"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. My Lord, don't take it to heart. It's just a small matter."

The Pingyuan Marquis and his wife looked at each other, and their expressions became increasingly ugly.

Originally, he had not intended to take it to heart, but after she said that, if he did not thank her solemnly, it would seem that their mansion was very undisciplined.

There was no other way, so Pingyuan Hou had to suppress his nausea and bowed respectfully to Shen Nanqiao.

"I would like to thank my aunt for her help in this matter. The whole family is grateful."

Shen Nanqiao glanced at Shen Jingyi.

"Mrs. Shen has survived the catastrophe, but she doesn't seem to have grown up at all..."

Shen Jingyi's fists suddenly hardened, especially in front of Su Wan'er. It would be harder than climbing to the sky for her to give in to Shen Nanqiao.

What's more, before she was kidnapped, Shen Nanqiao had originally planned to imprison her, but in the blink of an eye, he showed such a benevolent look on her face, which no one wanted to accept.

Thinking that she still had the leverage over her biological mother in her hand, Shen Jingyi felt a little relieved. Since they would have to fight head-on sooner or later, hiding was no solution. Now that she had been sent back, she might as well start a real fight.

Seeing Shen Jingyi standing still, Ning Ziyu didn't care about anything else. He took two or three steps forward and bowed deeply to Shen Nanqiao.

"My great aunt is so magnanimous. She let bygones be bygones and even asked for favors to bring Jingyi and her son back. I will always remember this kindness." As he spoke, he looked at her affectionately.

Shen Nanqiao originally planned to make things difficult for Shen Jingyi in order to avenge her for spreading rumors about her mother.

I didn't expect Ning Ziyu to do this so suddenly. I felt so nauseous that I almost vomited the food I had eaten the night before.

But Ning Ziyu didn't know what was going on. He took another half step forward and said shamelessly.

"After all, we are family, and even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. I guess my great-aunt also thinks so, otherwise why would she help me in times of crisis?"

Ever since he had other thoughts about Shen Nanqiao that day, he had been feeling very uncomfortable. Although he had not succeeded in the palace and had lost his position as Crown Prince, his rising desire had not been dispelled. Instead, he became even more hungry and impatient.

People are like this, the more they can't get something, the more they want it.

When they received the finger from the kidnappers and went to look for Ning Ziyu that day, the couple were clearly doing something in the room.

I heard that eunuchs can do a lot of different things. When he thought of Shen Nanqiao being pressed under someone and being molested, a part of his body went out of control.

Every night when I lie alone in bed and can't sleep, if my parents hadn't been keeping a close eye on me recently, I would have chosen a girl to come in and vent my anger.

After suppressing this desire for a while, it turned into a thief's heart and courage.

Shen Nanqiao thought he was calm enough, but he couldn't help but feel disgusted by Ning Ziyu.

"You are so shameless." She did not hide the contempt in her eyes at all, "Maybe I have my own use for finding Concubine Shen. So there is no need to flatter myself."

Shen Jingyi's heart twitched. Could it be that she was going to imprison herself in public?

Isn't this possible?

Shen Nanqiao glanced at her unintentionally, and that glance was full of threat.

"How can you say that, great aunt? You can't even write two words like 'Ning' with one stroke, but you call me great aunt. If I become ill in the future, will you still watch me starve to death?"

This is obviously a rogue statement.

Before Shen Nanqiao could say anything, Ning Su came forward and pushed Ning Ziyu away from Shen Nanqiao.

Ning Ziyu was originally filled with lust, but the moment he saw Ning Su, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head in the coldest days of winter, and he quickly backed away.

I wondered how could I have forgotten that this evil spirit existed!

Ning Su glanced at everyone with different expressions indifferently, then spoke slowly.

"Although Yan Yunwei personally found the person, logically, he should still be tried in court..." He glanced at Shen Jingyi meaningfully, "After all, to identify the murderer, the victim has to come forward in person."

Marquis Pingyuan was horrified when he heard this. Since ancient times, only criminals have been brought to court. Isn't this just trampling on the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion?

But what Ning Su said was right. Any major case like this that alarmed the factory guards would have to identify the murderer.

He knew in his heart that the other party was angry because of Ning Ziyu's disrespect just now, so he had to bite the bullet and go up to beg.

"Since Concubine Shen is pregnant, can we waive the trial?" She felt a little sad when she said this, and then she took two steps forward and lowered her voice, "The Marquis' Mansion still has some dignity, I beg my uncle to show some mercy."

"The Marquis's Mansion wants to save face, but your son doesn't seem to think so?"

Ning Su said this and looked at Shen Nanqiao.

Pingyuan Hou's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. How could he forget that this man was now his wife's slave?

"What do you mean, aunt? After all, you all have the surname Shen. If Aunt Shen embarrasses herself, aunt will inevitably be disgraced as well."

Shen Jingyi was fearless and she smiled faintly.

"If you are not afraid of me saying something nonsense, you can give it a try." She gathered up the loose hair on her temples. "I have had a problem since I was a child. I tend to talk nonsense when I am nervous. If I say something inappropriate involving my stepmother, then..."

Before he could finish his words, a teacup exploded at his feet.

Shen Jingyi was startled and was about to say that Shen Nanqiao was not the type of person who would smash things, but then she saw King Cheng calmly wiping the water stains on his hands.

"I didn't hear what you just said. Whose inappropriate words were you talking about?"

Shen Jingyi didn't know the relationship between him and Mrs. Shen. Although she didn't understand why he smashed the cup to warn him, she still plucked up the courage to repeat what she had just said.

"Mrs. Shen is my mother from my natal family. She passed away many years ago, but there are some things that the outside world may not know about." She looked at Shen Nanqiao, who looked uneasy, and thought she had succeeded. "So once the case is brought to court, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my mouth..."

Before he finished speaking, King Cheng gave orders to his attendants.

"Tie him up and gag him."

Yan Yunwei took the order and stepped forward. Shen Jingyi was horrified and struggled desperately.

Even Pingyuan Hou was stunned and hurried forward to bow and clasp his hands.

"My lord, why is this?"

Prince Cheng spoke each word with great emphasis: "The late Madam Shen was an old friend of mine and also my benefactor. Since someone is disrespecting her, I want to see what shocking words she can say in court."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked. Shen Nanqiao leisurely admired everyone's expression.

Finally, he slowly walked over and whispered in Shen Jingyi's ear.

"It's okay to talk nonsense, because you may not live long enough to speak in class."
