Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 158 Marrying a Concubine
After chatting briefly with the eldest princess, Shen Nanqiao felt suddenly enlightened.
Yes, what she pursued in this life was nothing more than to make up for what she had missed out on from Ning Su.
Now that he is her husband, what more could she ask for?
With this understanding, even my steps became much lighter.
The eldest princess watched coldly and sighed in her heart, hoping that the two people with such a huge difference in age and experience could have a good outcome.
When the two entered the flower hall, the ladies were still playing in groups of three or four, some listening to music, and some playing cards.
The Grand Tutor's wife had sharp eyes and saw her coming in from a distance. She quickly stood up and gave the mahjong in her hand to the eldest princess.
"I have lost a lot this afternoon. Let the princess change my luck."
The eldest princess always liked such comebacks, so she smiled.
"Your luck is bad. Let me help you win back all the money you lost."
"That's great." The Grand Tutor's wife put down a handful of chips and winked at Shen Nanqiao.
The two walked to a deserted corner of the flower hall, and the Grand Tutor's wife lowered her voice and spoke.
"The ninth brother's wife came here to check in just now, and then went to the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion."
Shen Nanqiao knew very well that she was most likely going to look for Shen Jingyi, but he tried to avoid the main point with his words.
"Maybe he should go and say hello to the old lady."
Strictly speaking, Songchangxuan is only a part of the Marquis's Mansion, so there is nothing wrong with her visiting the owner.
The Grand Tutor's wife shook her head.
"Although Lao Jiu's wife didn't mention it out loud because of her marriage to Chang Chen, she still holds a grudge against him in her heart. How could she possibly take the initiative to go over and say hello?"
Shen Nanqiao's heart moved.
"Did the old lady object to this marriage?"
The Grand Tutor's wife carefully observed her expression and confirmed that she was not angry before adding.
"It's not that I'm against it, but the old lady was too picky back then, and she wanted to wait for the emperor to grant her marriage. But who knew that your man would be so stubborn and refuse all the proposals."
A subtle sense of bitterness welled up in Shen Nanqiao's heart.
He didn't refuse casually. In all likelihood, he was still thinking about someone else at that time!
It’s strange, how could a little girl who hasn’t even grown up yet be so attractive?
The Grand Tutor's wife was completely unaware of what she was thinking and continued talking about old stories.
"Old Nine's wife was also well-known in the capital. She probably thought that the factory official must be attracted to her, so she took the initiative to come to the door and recommend herself. I don't know how the old lady responded, but anyway, it didn't work out."
This was news she had never heard before.
The Ninth Princess was born into a family of elders, so her background was definitely not bad. What reason did the old lady have to refuse?
Just as she was thinking about it, she felt the Grand Tutor's wife tugging at her sleeve.
"Why don't you send someone to keep an eye on her? The ninth brother's wife is definitely not someone she can easily deal with. The wife of Pingyuan Marquis has recently lost power, so I'm afraid she could easily take advantage of her. Don't let her trip you up."
Shen Nanqiao knew that the Grand Tutor's wife meant well, so he nodded to show his appreciation.
She strolled out of the flower hall and prepared to ask Madam Liu to find out. She had spies on Shen Jingyi's side, and although she might not be able to hear the specific content, she could at least confirm whether the Ninth Princess had gone to find her.
Before she could go find anyone, Nanny Liu came over to report.
"The Ninth Princess went to visit Aunt Shen, and supported her in front of the Marquis and his wife."
Shen Nanqiao sneered in her heart. It seemed that she was really devoted to this ally.
"I guess the Pingyuan Marquis and his wife are a little confused, but they dare not offend the Ninth Princess, right?"
Aunt Liu smiled and nodded.
"Madam is really good at predicting things. Although we don't know what's going on over there, we dare not offend the princess. We are trying to comfort her with gentle words."
Shen Nanqiao also smiled.
"It's been a while since we've had any distinguished guests at the Marquis' Mansion. Let's make them happy." She glanced at Aunt Liu meaningfully and instructed, "I'm the head of the mansion now, after all. We can't neglect the guests. Send a table of food to the Marquis' wife and say it was sent by me."
Aunt Liu smiled with her lips pursed.
Even though I have been following the young lady for some time, I am still impressed by her endless ideas.
The purpose of sending this banquet was, firstly, to ridicule the Marquis' wife for her poverty, and secondly, to let the Ninth Princess know who is the current head of the Ning family.
Thinking of this, she nodded and added.
"Let Amber take the lead. I've been watching her with a cold eye for a while and I'm getting a little impatient."
Shen Nanqiao almost forgot about her. After the last beating, Amber was really well behaved for a few days.
But from what Madam Liu said, it was clear that he was still not content.
"Let her send it off. She probably has a lot to say to Shen Jingyi under this pretext. There's no need to rush her. Let them talk to their heart's content."
Nanny Liu followed the order and left.
Over there, the Ninth Princess was in the Pingyuan Marquis' courtyard, and she gave Shen Jingyi a great show.
"At the last palace banquet, Aunt Shen and I hit it off right away. I even said in front of the Queen Mother that the Shen family is really good at raising daughters." She glanced meaningfully at Su Wan'er, who looked unhappy. "She looks even more impressive than a mistress of a family, but I didn't expect she's just an aunt."
Although Pingyuan Hou didn't know when Shen Jingyi became involved with this giant Buddha, it was clear that she was here to support him.
"I am overwhelmed by your kindness, Princess."
The Ninth Princess was originally very regretful. Shen Jingyi was clearly sent to the mansion she had arranged, but before she could instruct Prince Cheng to turn a blind eye, she was captured and taken back to the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
There was no way out. The plan to get Qiao was aborted. Shen Jingyi was still useful, so she had no choice but to go to the Marquis' Mansion in person.
Only when Shen Jingyi's position in the mansion is consolidated can the next plan be carried out more smoothly.
Fortunately, Marquis Pingyuan was very tactful.
Although Ning Su has not yet taken action against the Marquis' Mansion, they have already lost the initiative in front of Emperor Ming.
If he could use the Ninth Princess as a clue to curry favor with the Queen Mother, that would be another way.
So at this moment, his expression when looking at Shen Jingyi became particularly kind.
The Ninth Princess tucked the corner of the quilt for Shen Jingyi and said meaningfully.
"The Queen Mother was also furious that day in the palace and stripped the prince of his title as a small punishment to serve as a warning to others. But once there is a queen, the title will most likely be returned."
These words really touched the hearts of Pingyuan Hou and his wife.
The Ninth Princess is the Queen Mother's confidant, so what she says is most likely not groundless.
"Princess, do you mean that there is still hope that the throne of the Crown Prince can be returned to its original owner?"
"Since ancient times, the nobility has always looked at offspring. Even among legitimate sons, whoever has a legitimate grandson first will take a step ahead in the road to inheriting the title. The Marquis is the only legitimate son, so naturally he doesn't feel much, but this is not the case for other families, so the importance of this legitimate grandson is self-evident."
In other words, if Ning Ziyu gave birth to a legitimate son, it would mean that the title of Pingyuan Marquis would have a successor.
Ning Ziyu suddenly had an idea at this moment.
"Then just marry her as your co-wife."
