Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 164: It's really interesting to plot against your own father

However, Mrs. Shen kept her mouth shut and asked Linglong to send Shen Nanqiao back to the bedroom, saying that Shen Nanqiao had just been poisoned and needed to rest.

"Serve your young lady well, and you don't have to come to my place tonight."

Shen Nanqiao knew that his mother needed some time to digest the sudden change, so he took Linglong away considerately.

The master and servant walked in the corridor one after the other. Linglong bit her lower lip and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.

Shen Nanqiao calmly observed the maid's changing expressions, finding them very interesting. Just as he was about to break the silence, he saw a shadow suddenly jump out from the side in front of him.

"Little madam."

The master and servant were startled and stepped back subconsciously. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the person in front of them was Liuyun.

"Can't you make some noise?" Linglong was already feeling mixed emotions, and now she finally found a way to vent, so she complained unhappily.

Liuyun had a gloomy face.

"With my status, if I make any noise when I move, I'm afraid I'll be dead soon."

Linglong was speechless and glared at him fiercely.

Shen Nanqiao also found it strange. Although Linglong was sharp-tongued, she was not unreasonable. For some reason, she always chose to pick on Liuyun.

The same goes for Liuyun, a cold-blooded young man who can barely even fart after being kicked, but he has an endless quarrel with Linglong.

This is probably what is called the conflict between the eight characters and the clash of the five elements, which leads to disagreements and incompatibility of words.

"Master, please ask Songchangxuan to add some staff. If the young lady needs anyone in the next two days, just let me know."

He responded expressionlessly and was about to turn around and leave when Shen Nanqiao called him.

"Send Linglong back for me and keep an eye on the person you were asked to keep an eye on."

A strange look flashed across Liuyun's face, and then Shen Nanqiao added meaningfully: "Don't let her hurt Linglong."

He straightened his face and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will never let her have a chance to escape."

Linglong subconsciously pulled Shen Nanqiao's sleeve.

"Miss, I won't go back to live here. I'll stay here to keep watch for you."

Shen Nanqiao pulled his sleeve out of her hand and tapped her forehead.

"You've been tired of watching over the lady these past two days. Go back and have a good sleep." She deliberately emphasized her tone, "You two can each have your own room. You don't have to worry about her hurting you. Besides, Liuyun is guarding outside."

Linglong was about to say something, but thinking that she couldn't cause trouble for the young lady at this critical moment, she had to nod and reluctantly followed Liuyun.

Shen Nanqiao breathed a sigh of relief. He had experienced too many unexpected events that night and could no longer bear the curiosity of his personal maid.

She looked back at the light in her mother's room, feeling an unstoppable sadness in her heart.

The lady of a noble family once upon a time could only live in such a place and lead a life in anonymity.

As a daughter, she had to find a way to give her mother a good home.

Over the years, my mother has made the best plans for me within her ability. She cannot control the direction of her life, but her love for me should not be erased.

Therefore, for the rest of her life, it is up to her to find ways to show her filial piety.

Now, just waiting for a definite answer.

However, before Shen Nanqiao got a positive answer from his mother, he received another piece of news.

The next morning, I heard that King Cheng came to visit.

Shen Nanqiao was a little hesitant. She had not yet figured out how to face this father who suddenly showed up, but if she turned him away, it would be a waste of her previous plans.

So he gritted his teeth and asked Madam Liu to bring the person in.

Prince Cheng went back and tossed and turned all night, and stayed awake until dawn. Before the sky was bright, he could not wait to come to the door.

When Shen Nanqiao walked into the reception room, he found Prince Cheng sitting upright on a hard pear wood chair, constantly arranging his already neatly laid robes.

Seeing her come in, he stood up hurriedly, clenched his hands into fists and then unclenched them at his sides, and he didn't know where to look.

He really has no experience in getting along with girls of this age.

If Shen Nanqiao was still a child, he could bring the best candies and cakes in the capital to make her happy.

But what should I give to my married daughter?

Rouge, powder, silk and satin? Or a jewelry shop and fields?

At this moment, Prince Cheng suddenly felt that going in empty-handed was an extremely wrong choice.

"Qiao...you...I came here in a hurry today and forgot to bring a gift. I will make it up another day."

So this is what it feels like to coax a daughter. Prince Cheng only said one sentence, and countless scenes automatically expanded.

What kind of patterns would she like? Does she like sweet or salty snacks? She should also buy a few sets of jewelry, right?

As I thought about this, there was a moment of awkward silence, and it became difficult to speak again.

Prince Cheng stammered and glanced at Shen Nanqiao's expression, only to see her sigh softly and take the initiative to break the deadlock.

"Your Majesty, I haven't thanked you for the medicine yet, how can I accept your gift?"

King Cheng was startled when he heard this.

"What are you talking about? We are one family, why should we thank each other?"

Not to mention a pill, he would be willing to make a pill on the spot!

Shen Nanqiao's expression was indescribable.

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. Even though you have done me a favor, you should not take advantage of me like this."

King Cheng’s surging enthusiasm came to an abrupt end.

Taking advantage? He is the real deal, more real than gold!

"Jojo..."

However, before he could finish his words, Shen Nanqiao interrupted him gracefully.

"My husband is not at home today. If you have any urgent matters, you can go to the palace to find him. As for the thank-you gift, my husband and I will definitely come to express our gratitude someday."

Prince Cheng was stunned on the spot.

What had he just heard? Why was it so different from what he had imagined?

After what happened last night, even if the daughter didn’t rush over and cry, she should at least call him dad, right?

"Didn't your mother tell you that I am your..."

"My late mother has passed away for many years. Your Highness, please be careful with your words." Shen Nanqiao gave him a meaningful look, and then lowered his voice, "Walls have ears, and there are many people waiting to take advantage of the situation."

Prince Cheng suddenly became alert.

No wonder my daughter is so timid, it turns out she is not playing hard to get, but has her own reasons!

"Tell Dad, who wants to bully you?"

Shen Nanqiao pretended to be embarrassed and shook his head. At this time, Nanny Liu ran in and reported hurriedly.

"Madam, Aunt Shen sent a letter to Princess Nine early this morning. It seems that she is very confident..."

Shen Nanqiao's expression darkened and he bit his lower lip.

"It seems that Mom can't stay here. I have to find a way to send them away before they find out."

When King Cheng heard this, he became anxious. I have been looking for this person for half my life, and now you are going to send him away just like that?

"Wait!"
