Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 153: Jealousy
Shen Nanqiao slowly walked out from the warm room behind the pillars.
Minister Zhu's eyes suddenly brightened.
This girl had delicate features and a beautiful appearance. Every step she took was graceful and her gaze was radiant. Just by taking these few steps, countless charming scenes emerged in his mind.
With such a pretty face and such a graceful figure, it must be a wonderful story for her to be accompanied by a beautiful woman!
Why had he never seen such a beauty in the capital before? How could he boast of being a romantic!
Before he could feel upset, the girl had already walked towards him slowly. Without caring about anything else, he took two steps forward and bowed deeply.
"May I ask your name, young lady?"
Shen Nanqiao was caught off guard and was shocked by his attentiveness. The Duke of Zhenguo was too eager to choose a husband for his daughter. Didn't he even choose carefully?
The other party was rude and she was not very polite.
"Sir, your words are a bit inconsiderate, aren't they?" She gave him a half-smile, "Is it appropriate to ask for my name when I first meet you, even though we haven't met before?"
The Minister calmed himself down and then remembered the original intention of his visit today.
Although the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is beautiful, she is only good at wielding swords and guns and has no interest at all.
But this little beauty who appeared out of nowhere in front of him was elegant and quiet, and at first glance she looked like a perfect match for him.
"Indeed, I am rude." The son of Minister Zhu brushed off his outer robe and straightened his hair before speaking again, "My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I am the second child in my family and I am still unmarried. May I ask if the young lady has been engaged?"
Shen Nanqiao looked at Lin Jingshu and the prince in surprise, then turned back. Didn’t this guy just want to ask the Duke of Zhenguo to judge the case?
How come the target suddenly turned towards me?
The prince's face didn't look very good either.
Did this person think he was dead? First he coveted the future Crown Princess, then he wanted to attack Lady Otomo, and was about to reveal his identity to intimidate the other party.
Then, Master Zhu, the Minister of Interior, could no longer hold back and took two steps forward.
"May I ask which family you are from? Our meeting is destiny. My mother is inviting me to a banquet. If you don't mind, you can send me an invitation and come to my house to enjoy the sights... I will personally accompany you when the time comes, and I will definitely make you return satisfied..."
In order to avoid suspicion, Shen Nanqiao subconsciously stepped back, but he was caught off guard and stepped on the steps behind him. He staggered two steps and was about to fall backwards.
As a result, she was held by a strong force at the waist, and a familiar cold fragrance rushed into her nose. In just one encounter, she was held steadily.
"Are you okay?" Ning Su's figure was like a ghost, and he looked her up and down quickly.
Shen Nanqiao patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Is it a problem if my ears are dirty?"
Ning Su's face turned stern and he glared at the culprit.
Although this young assistant minister had never met the crown prince, he was very familiar with Ning Su. When he saw Ning Su suddenly appear, he felt regretful for not checking the almanac before going out.
The prince was gloating on the side. Now, someone was so reckless as to covet Otomo's beloved wife. It was going to be fun.
As expected, under Ning Su's eye attack, Minister Zhu felt like a thorn in his side.
He had never seen this powerful official so intimate with a woman, and did not dare to think too much about it. He quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"Master, how are you? I haven't seen you for a long time. My father misses you every day at home. If you have time, please come to my humble home."
Ning Su had a sneer on his lips.
"Didn't Master Zhu just invite my wife? Why, he wants to invite me too?"
Upon hearing this, Minister Zhu was horrified.
He had heard about Ning Su's marriage, but he had never seen Mrs. Ning's true appearance. Could it be the one in front of him?
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
While thinking about it, he subconsciously glanced at Shen Nanqiao again.
It's such a pity that such a beautiful girl actually married a eunuch. What's the use of having a high position and power? How is she going to live the rest of her life as a widow?
Ning Su's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he saw through his thoughts instantly, and sneered in a sinister way.
Minister Zhu suddenly woke up as if from a dream. Thinking back to his disrespectful behavior just now, he felt very disappointed.
Looking at the way Ning Su protected the person behind him, it was obvious that he attached great importance to this young lady. He racked his brains to find a suitable excuse.
"You're right. It's because I recognized Madam Ning that I thought of inviting her first. Wouldn't it be better if the factory officials could do me the honor?"
Ning Su smiled faintly, but the words he said were not gentle at all.
"So you knew she was the Governor's wife, but you still dared to chat with her casually?"
Minister Zhu was stunned on the spot. Was he from the Ministry of Works and Water Conservancy? How could he be so good at blocking?
Ning Su clearly said this with a smile, but a murderous aura was overwhelming him. His legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
Shen Nanqiao originally had no intention of doing anything to him, now that he was in the right, he cleared his throat.
"I will pay a visit to the Minister's wife another day. Mr. Zhu also saw what happened at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion today, so why not just pretend that he has never been there."
Originally, Master Zhu, Minister of the Imperial Court, thought that he was doomed today, but he did not expect the wife of the factory official to be so easy to talk to. She did not even care whether they met or not, and he wanted to kneel down and kowtow twice.
"I will tell my mother when I get home that I will welcome you with open arms and look forward to your arrival."
After saying that, he didn't dare to mention anything else. He bowed to Ning Su, didn't even dare to look at Shen Nanqiao again, and ran away in a hurry.
For a moment, there were only four people left in the yard.
Ning Su did not loosen his arm around her waist. Shen Nanqiao struggled quietly, but the other party held her even tighter.
She was a little confused and was about to look up.
"Just let the scoundrel who said disrespectful words to my wife go like that?" Ning Su spoke slowly, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Shen Nanqiao laughed and lowered his voice.
"Is the factory official going to punish me?"
The little prince stood aside, looking back and forth between the two of them, trying to find any clues.
The couple both looked serious, but the atmosphere didn't sound like they were about to fight.
What kind of strange scene is this?
Lin Jingshu probably had the same doubts, but she was somewhat more sensible than the prince. She knew that it was inappropriate to stare at the couple so directly, so she pulled the prince's sleeve.
"Let's go in first, they may have something important to discuss."
Although the prince had a hunch that there wouldn't be anything important between the two, but looking at the aura that made it impossible for him to get involved, he inexplicably felt that it seemed inappropriate to stay.
So he nodded.
"It's just right. Let's go and tell the Duke of Zhenguo. If he has no objection, the marriage can be finalized."
Shen Nanqiao caught a glimpse of the young couple from his previous life walking away muttering to each other without even saying hello to him, and couldn't help feeling that they were being ungrateful.
Besides, the river hasn’t been completely crossed yet, has it?
If the Queen Mother knew about this, there would be another hurdle waiting for her.
Ning Su was obviously quite dissatisfied with her distraction.
"Madam Pingyang, you feel that I can no longer punish you, right?" He glanced meaningfully at Shen Nanqiao, who was still under his control.
Shen Nanqiao readily responded.
"That's wrong. We're both of the first rank. Why do you think you can be superior to me?"
The couple were flirting with each other.
Shen Nanqiao reminded himself in his heart that he still had important things to do. This was someone else's backyard, but he couldn't help but want to go against Ning Su.
"Stay away from those brats next time." Ning Su turned around and circled the person, half dragging and half hugging him as he walked into the house. Shen Nanqiao was locked in his private area, as if he were some kind of exclusive item.
She suspected she had heard wrongly.
"Which brat?"
Ning Su looked down at her.
"You're drooling now. Didn't you just let one get away?"
Shen Nanqiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was acting sarcastic for a long time. The root of the problem was here.
"The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. It's not my fault that he drools at me."
Ning Su inexplicably felt that these words sounded familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before. Sure enough, the next moment he heard Shen Nanqiao add another word.
"When a girl coveted the factory minister before, you also used this sentence to evade me."

Shen Nanqiao: If you're jealous, just say you're jealous. Why make such a fuss?
Ning Su: Good man, do you still remember what I said dozens of chapters ago?
