Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 159: You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing your mother

When Shen Nanqiao learned about this, he almost laughed out loud.

Originally, Su Wan'er was not very satisfied with this marriage, but the Queen Mother personally approved the marriage in front of everyone, and she had already lost her virginity, so she had no choice but to give herself to Ning Ziyu.

Unfortunately, Ning Ziyu's only valuable title as a crown prince was taken away from him, which made Su Wan'er and everyone in the Founding Earl's Mansion very unhappy.

However, even in such an aggrieved marriage, they still had to accept the fact that there was a bastard before they even entered the family. What was even more disgusting was that the bastard was going to become a legitimate son.

Isn’t Su Wan’er right now the same as myself in my previous life?

Shen Nanqiao really wanted to express sympathy, but when he thought of her rude words at the palace banquet and her deliberate attempt to plot against the prince, that bit of sympathy disappeared.

"Has the Marquis' Mansion been decided?"

Nanny Liu nodded.

"They said they had someone rewrite the invitation and add Concubine Shen's name to it, so they can marry two people at once."

Ning Ziyu's marriage was originally scheduled for the end of the first month of the lunar year. Originally, only Su Wan'er's name was on the invitation. If Shen Jingyi's name was added now, I'm afraid it would be used as a laughing stock by gossipers.

She covered her lips with a smile and gave instructions to Aunt Liu.

"If they don't have enough people to post the notice, we can send a few more people over to make sure the notice is delivered to every household so that everyone knows about it."

Nanny Liu understood and left.

Ning Su originally wanted to send the prince back to the palace, but the prince shamelessly stayed, saying that he had never tasted an ordinary family banquet.

Ning Su was too lazy to watch the two people whispering, so he simply went back to his room. As a result, he happened to overhear the conversation between the master and servant.

"You're not going to stop it?"

"Why should I stop you?" Shen Nanqiao originally planned to come back and change clothes so that he could continue entertaining guests in the evening, but when he heard this, he even stopped looking for clothes.

"Aren't you afraid that Shen Jingyi will become successful after becoming your co-wife, which will be detrimental to you?"

Shen Nanqiao chuckled.

"Is she worthy? Besides, she is too busy with things in her room right now to care about me." As she said this, she took out a skirt with silver and red hems from the clothes she had just ironed.

"She was promoted to the position of the Queen because of the deal she made with the Ninth Princess." Ning Su naturally went to find a matching blouse for her. "If she doesn't give the other party some benefits, she won't be able to keep this position."

Shen Nanqiao took the clothes he handed over and smiled sweetly to show her gratitude.

"So I just handed the handle to her so she wouldn't have to do it herself."

Ning Su raised his eyebrows and waited calmly for her next words.

"Isn't the evidence she wants right now in the backyard of Song Changxuan?" Shen Nanqiao compared herself to the mirror and felt that the color suited her well, so she picked it up and walked behind the screen.

Ning Su felt at a loss for a moment.

Although the two are already a legitimate couple, changing clothes in front of each other is a bit too informal.

He walked quietly to the outside, avoiding the dangerous place that would make people blush and their hearts beat faster, and then he raised his voice slightly.

"Isn't it too risky? Although she doubted your identity, she never doubted the lady's death, right?"

Although all the people in Songchangxuan are his own people, Ning Su was still worried that there might be eavesdroppers, so he did not mention Mrs. Shen's identity by name.

"That's why I need to find someone to remind her. As long as she passes the message to the Ninth Princess, she will definitely reveal her flaws soon." Shen Nanqiao's voice was a little muffled, probably because he was taking off his outer robe.

Ning Su knew that she had never had a good impression of the Ninth Princess, and her bad impression became even stronger after she peeped at her that night.

"There are many ways to catch her, there's no need to involve Madam Shen."

"That's different." A decisive voice came from behind the screen, "I just want her to reveal herself."

Given the Ninth Princess's self-esteem, the blow of her making a mistake would be a thousand times greater than being caught by someone.

"She hates me so much, she must be determined to bring me down, so I'll give her a chance." Shen Nanqiao's voice was a little unclear, probably because she was changing into her skirt. "After throwing out this bait, it's impossible for her not to take it."

Ning Su didn't quite understand the war between women, but he instinctively chose to respect Shen Nanqiao's opinion.

"I will ask Liuyun to send a few more people to secretly protect Madam Shen's safety."

There was a rustling behind the screen.

"And I do this for other purposes."

Ning Su didn't respond and waited quietly for her next words.

"Do you think there is really nothing going on between Prince Cheng and my mother?"

The cup of tea that Ning Su was about to drink suddenly stopped in mid-air.

It stands to reason that, given his status, he is not suitable to directly judge his mother-in-law's private affairs, but since Shen Nanqiao asked the question, he couldn't help but answer it.

"What do you think?" Ning Changchen cleverly turned the tables and brought the topic back to the topic, "Do you think the two of them lied to you?"

Shen Nanqiao paused.

"I do not know."

She had a hunch that her mother had not told her the truth. Although she didn't know why, it must have something to do with Prince Cheng.

"You don't have to worry about sending more manpower. I will find a way to pass the news to King Cheng. I want to see how he will react." There was some calculation in her voice.

Ning Su suddenly realized.

Rather than being an attempt to bait the Ninth Princess, Fentuanzi's move was more like cutting off the source of the problem, trying to kill two birds with one stone.

Madam Shen kept her mouth shut about the past, so she had to start with Prince Cheng. However, Prince Cheng was also a seasoned veteran, and unless Madam Shen was really in danger, it would be difficult for him to tell the truth.

At least he won't tell the truth to Shen Nanqiao.

"There's no need to go to such great lengths." Ning Su recalled the inexplicable courtesy that King Cheng had shown him over the past two days, as well as the indirect hints he had given him. "If you have anything you want to ask, why not ask King Cheng out to ask directly? I can arrange the time and place."

Unexpectedly, Shen Nanqiao flatly refused.

"It's useless even if he tells me everything he knows. There are some things he may not even know."

Ning Su also fell silent.

He knew that Shen Nanqiao was talking about his own life experience. The midwife who had delivered Madam Shen was no longer in the capital, so it would take some time to find her.

He was afraid that the greater Shen Nanqiao's hope, the greater his disappointment, so he didn't dare to mention his secret investigation.

Because even if a midwife was found, she couldn't be sure of Shen Nanqiao's background. They could only judge whether Prince Cheng might be her biological father based on the time of her birth.

From this perspective, it is indeed more reliable than for Mrs. Shen to speak herself.

"Do you think that King Cheng will be me..." Before the last few words were uttered, a sharp scream suddenly broke out from behind the screen.

Ning Su didn't care about anything else and rushed in in two or three steps. He saw a silver-red figure pounce on him directly and hold his waist tightly with his hands and feet.

The factory official, who was used to big scenes, was stunned by this sudden fortune.

He subconsciously reached out to lift the little girl's thighs and hugged her up to prevent her from falling to the ground.

"What's going on here?"

Following the direction of the trembling finger, I suddenly saw a spider covered in black.

With years of experience, he immediately determined that it was most likely a poisonous spider.

Ning Su's heart sank and he quickly turned to look at Shen Nanqiao, only to see a bloodstain spreading on the girl's snow-white collarbone.
