Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Shen Nanqiao hesitated for only a moment, then he immediately called in Aunt Liu and asked her to prepare some generous gifts for the New Year, the more generous the better.

Then he quickly walked out of the study and went to the flower hall where *** was, only to see her watching two martial artists performing acrobatics with great interest.

Shen Nanqiao cleared his throat and deliberately increased the volume of his footsteps.

*** turned around when he heard the voice, knowing that she would not come and disturb him for no reason, so he asked directly.

"What happened?"

Shen Nanqiao explained the matter briefly.

"The prince is tempted to go and grab the bride, and I think I'll feel at ease if I go with him. I'll have to trouble you to host the banquet this afternoon, so I'll be back before dinner."

*** laughed when he heard this.

"I didn't expect this kid to be braver than his father."

No one else would dare to say such disrespectful words, but coming from ***'s mouth, it sounded like a common thing.

"Don't worry, no one will get into trouble with me here."

With this promise, Shen Nanqiao withdrew with peace of mind.

Dealing with so many people is actually quite tiring. She had been socializing for half a day and wanted to take the opportunity to go out and take a breath of fresh air.

Nanny Liu had already prepared the gifts, and Ning Su and the prince were waiting in the carriage.

The group went straight to the Lin family.

Although the Duke of Zhenguo holds the highest rank, his mansion in the capital is rather ordinary, not even as big as Shen Nanqiao's original family home.

The housekeeper was very sensible. Upon hearing that Ning Su and his wife had arrived, he hurried in to inform them.

The little prince was somewhat reluctant, and his tone was a little awkward when he spoke.

"Is it shameful for me to be seen? Why don't you mention my name?"

Shen Nanqiao felt amused in his heart, but he explained seriously.

"In our couple's name, it's just a normal visit to wish each other a happy new year, but if we bring up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it will seem like we are suppressing him, and it will be difficult to say what we are going to say next."

The prince was skeptical and did not continue to argue, so he began to observe the Lin family mansion.

It was an ordinary two-story house with three main rooms and two side rooms on the east and west sides. The layout at the back was exactly the same. In the eyes of the prince who grew up in a wealthy family, it seemed so simple and shabby.

When I thought about the fact that Lin Jingshu usually lived in a place like this, I naturally chose to forgive her for her previous disrespect.

It is understandable that a girl who grew up in a not very wealthy place has never seen the world.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the Duke of Zhenguo coming out in person, bowing and greeting him politely from a distance.

"The factory minister and his wife are here in person. We are sorry for not welcoming you in person." Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the crown prince standing beside him. He was horrified, "How come His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also..."

Shen Nanqiao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"I had an appointment with Miss Lin to have dinner today, but she didn't come. I felt a little disappointed, so I took the liberty to come and take a look. I'm sorry to bother you, Duke Zhenguo."

The Duke of Zhenguo became more puzzled upon hearing this. Madam Pingyang came of course, perhaps they were just two close sisters, and there was nothing wrong with her coming in person to invite someone.

But what about taking Ning Su and the prince with him?

However, although he was puzzled, he could not show it on his face, and even put on a smile.

"I really didn't know that Madam had invited my daughter, otherwise I would have come in person to show my support."

This was obviously just polite talk. Shen Nanqiao maintained a polite smile and made a request that was not excessive.

"Then can Miss Lin please come to our house for a chat?"

The Duke of Zhenguo looked embarrassed.

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by my wife. I have an appointment with the official matchmaker today. The son of Minister Zhu of the Ministry of Revenue is currently in my house. I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, the prince suddenly stood up.

"Is the Duke of Zhenguo anxious to find a son-in-law because he has no children?"

Shen Nanqiao was quite shocked when he heard this. Although the prince lived a life of luxury, he was still polite in front of outsiders.

Even if he was not very polite when he first met me, at least he didn't completely disrespect me like he is now.

The Duke of Zhenguo was also a little stunned. When he came to his senses, he immediately became unhappy.

I'm choosing my future son-in-law, so what does this young boy have to do with me?

Besides, don't hit people in the face, and don't expose their shortcomings when scolding them. Although he has no children, Jingshu is no less talented than his son. Why does outsiders think that he is in a hurry to find a son-in-law?

"This is my family affair. Isn't it a bit too much for the prince to interfere?"

He is just a military man and is not that cultured.

The prince also realized that his words were a bit too harsh, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he could only speak awkwardly.

"What I mean is that Miss Lin has great ambitions, so why did the Duke of Zhenguo tie her up in the backyard so early?"

Shen Nanqiao raised his eyebrows.

Although this kid's words are not very coherent, what he just said is quite insightful.

The Duke of Zhenguo's expression eased slightly.

"Girls will eventually have to get married and live their lives. It's not nice to be wielding swords and guns all day long!" He paused and said, "It's also my fault that I have no time to discipline her all these years and have spoiled her!"

The prince had also grown up listening to such arguments, and he felt a sense of sympathy when he heard this.

"Since it's the Duke's fault, why should Miss Lin bear the consequences? I envy her for being able to be free and go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants."

The Duke of Zhenguo was speechless when he thought about the situation the prince had experienced since he was a child.

"well said!"

Just when the atmosphere among them was reaching a stalemate, a clear voice was heard.

I looked back subconsciously and saw Lin Jingshu walking out quickly from the inner hall.

She nodded to Shen Nanqiao, then turned to the prince.

"I thought you were timid before, but I didn't expect you to be so insightful."

Before the prince realized what it meant to be submissive, he heard the Duke of Zhenguo scolding him.

"Why did you leave the guests alone?"

Lin Jingshu was not afraid of her father's anger and fired back like a machine gun.

"I told you I don't want to see you anymore. That minister can't even lift anything, what do you want me to do sitting there with him? Discussing how to grow peonies in five colors? How a pug learns to sit? If that's not idleness, what is it? Fortunately, his father is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, otherwise there wouldn't be so much rice for him to waste!"

The prince couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.

The Duke of Zhenguo was seen blowing his beard and glaring.

"Nonsense! Mr. Zhu is a well-mannered man, not as bad as you say!"

As he said this, he raised his hand and started hitting. In the past, the father and daughter had fought from time to time, so they were used to it.

But the prince was unaware of the situation and thought that he was going to beat Lin Jingshu, so he rushed forward and blocked the Duke of Zhenguo's hand.

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Jingshu's eyes lit up. She had thought this guy was a piece of cake, but she didn't expect that his move just now was so beautiful.

The Duke of Zhenguo naturally could not fight with the Crown Prince, and he glared at Lin Jingshu angrily.

"This is my family affair. Does the prince want to stop me from taking care of the children?"

The prince got excited and immediately spoke up.

"Who said that? She is the future Crown Princess. Even if it is a family matter, the palace should have the final say."

Shen Nanqiao: Good fellow, he even gave the spoiler himself.
