Remarry 9,000 Years Old

The bright moonlight quietly shone into the courtyard of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion. Compared with the hustle and bustle of Songchangxuan, this place seemed even more deserted.

Shen Jingyi sat leaning on the bed, the light from the glass lamp hiding half of her face in shadow, making it impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.

She was silent for a while looking at the man on the ground, then suddenly nodded slightly and sneered.

"You mean, you saw a strange woman in her backyard, flirting and being intimate with Prince Cheng?"

The man on the ground raised his head, revealing Amber's familiar face.

"The woman was wearing a veil, so I couldn't see clearly, but the man was indeed Prince Cheng. He came as a guest before, and my son-in-law entertained him, so I recognized him."

"Impossible." The Ninth Princess interrupted firmly, "I know Prince Cheng. He never treats women kindly. Not to mention middle-aged women, he won't even look at young girls."

As he spoke, he glanced sharply at Amber who was kneeling on the ground, as if implying that she was lying.

Seeing this, Shen Jingyi hurriedly explained: "This is a girl I have conquered since she was a child. She is absolutely reliable."

Amber nodded desperately when she heard that.

"The Second Miss doesn't like me, it's all because of the Eldest Miss's support. All these years I have been in Cao's camp but my heart is with Han. If there is any falsehood in what happened today, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

The Ninth Princess frowned tightly.

Over the years, the Queen Mother had tried to arrange a match for Prince Cheng more than once, but he rejected each time, saying that he could not bear to see the girl leave her hometown.

He has wasted his time to this age. I heard that there is not even a nanny in his mansion. It is like a living Buddhist temple.

Where did Shen Nanqiao find this soul-stirring witch who could even capture Prince Cheng? If the Yanyun Guards under his command are combined with Ning Su's factory guards, they will be a force that cannot be underestimated.

Not to mention his appeal to the Northwest Army.

Thinking of this, she believed Amber's words a little more.

"Did Shen Nanqiao see those two people fighting?" Shen Jingyi got to the point of the matter. "I heard that relatives from her hometown came before. Her relatives from her hometown basically don't come around anymore. Where did these people come from?"

Amber shook her head.

"The Second Miss only asked Linglong to serve her personally. Others, including Aunt Liu, are not allowed to go to the back room without permission."

This is strange. Madam Liu is Ning Su's confidant. If Shen Nanqiao wants to hide it even from her, the woman's identity must be suspicious enough.

Shen Jingyi racked her brains but still couldn't figure it out, so she looked at Amber.

"You also grew up in the Shen family. Does that person look familiar to you? Has he ever been to our house?"

Amber carefully recalled the man's facial features and spoke after a long while.

"I can't really explain it, but I feel like I've seen it before, as if... as if..."

The Ninth Princess hates this kind of hesitation the most.

"It seems like something!"

Amber looked at Shen Jingyi hesitantly: "From the outline of her figure, I can see that she looks a bit like the deceased lady."

Shen Jingyi was confused for a moment, and when she realized who the Madam she was talking about was, she was dumbfounded.

"How is that possible? When she died, I personally went to kowtow and attend her funeral."

Amber seemed to find this statement unconvincing, and she carefully considered her wording.

"Does the lady have any sisters from her family?"

This really stumped Shen Jingyi. Seeing this, Princess Nine knew that she couldn't explain it either.

She thought for a moment and gave another instruction.

"I know what's going on. Don't alert the enemy yet. Go back and keep an eye on them. If Prince Cheng comes again, come and tell your eldest daughter."

The card of Prince Cheng must not be snatched away by Shen Nanqiao. Seeing that the Crown Prince has already chosen a Crown Princess who is not from the Queen Mother's party, this clash is inevitable.

If it really comes to the last step, the few soldiers in his hands may not be able to withstand the Emperor Ming's trump card, so Prince Cheng has become a popular commodity that both sides must fight for.

Thinking of this, she suddenly stood up and prepared to go to the palace to discuss countermeasures with the Queen Mother.

Shen Jingyi didn't dare to keep her, so she had to prop herself up and get off the ground, and deliberately sent her to the door, so that the Pingyuan Marquis couple and Ning Ziyu could see that she had someone backing her up.

Amber was sent back, and she ran into Shen Nanqiao who was sending the baby back at the entrance of the flower hall.

"Where did you come back from?" Shen Nanqiao asked casually.

Amber looked at her timidly and smiled.

"I went to reward the guests earlier, and the Marquis's wife specifically asked me to go and claim the reward."

Shen Nanqiao pursed his lips and looked her up and down. Just when Amber's heart was in her throat, Shen Nanqiao suddenly waved his hand.

"Go to the accounting office and get a double portion. You've all worked hard today."

Amber was somewhat flattered, but she didn't dare to stay any longer for fear of revealing her true identity, so she left in a hurry.

After the people walked away, Matron Liu lowered her voice and asked for instructions.

"Are you really going to let her pass messages back and forth?"

Shen Nanqiao nodded calmly.

"She was kept here for this purpose. If I want Shen Jingyi to know something, I need a mouthpiece. Now it's even better. I also have someone to pass on the message to the Ninth Princess."

Nanny Liu immediately understood her intention.

Because of Amber's special identity, Shen Jingyi should believe every word she says.

Invisibly, she became a knife in Shen Nanqiao's hand. This move of turning the tables on the opponent was really clever.

"But isn't Madam worried that she might reveal your mother's identity?"

"Isn't that perfect?" Shen Nanqiao tilted her head with a playful look on her face. "I'm already a married woman, I can't take care of everything. I need someone to protect my mother. I think His Royal Highness Prince Cheng is very suitable."

Nanny Liu understood.

Shen Nanqiao ordered the servants to clear away the cups, bowls and plates, and he went straight to the backyard with Nanny Liu.

Mrs. Shen was obviously not asleep yet. Seeing that the light was still on in her room, Shen Nanqiao waved his hand to signal Madam Liu to wait outside. He knocked on the door and went in.

Mrs. Shen was originally still worried about Shen Nanqiao's poison, but when she saw her daughter coming over without any warning, she was so frightened that she jumped off the bed, rushed over in two or three steps, and looked her up and down.

"Are you okay? Is there any pain anywhere? Does the wound hurt? Let me take a look!"

Shen Nanqiao looked at Mrs. Shen, whose panic was evident on her face, and inexplicably felt a little sad.

"I feel much better after taking the Baijie Pill. For such a big favor, I will have to come to your house one day to personally thank His Royal Highness Prince Cheng."

Mrs. Shen stopped looking up and down immediately. She raised her eyes to look at her daughter, wanting to see whether Shen Nanqiao was sincere in what he said.

But Shen Nanqiao had no expression on his face.

Mrs. Shen paused and forced a smile.

"I should go."

Shen Nanqiao looked into his mother's eyes and curled the corners of his lips slightly.

"Before you go, can you tell me why His Royal Highness Prince Cheng was so willing to give up the jade pendant when my mother took it out? That is a priceless miracle drug." She observed the changes in Madam Shen's expression, "Or is there something that I should know but cannot know?"

Shen Nanqiao: The atmosphere has been set to this point, wouldn’t it be inappropriate not to be honest?
