Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Prince Cheng walked out of the reception hall, looking back every few steps, and headed straight for the backyard.

Shen Nanqiao leaned against the carved window, feeling at a loss for a moment.

She wanted her mother to be happy, but when she realized that her mother, who had just been lost and found, might really be leaving, she found it hard to let go.

"Reluctant?"

Shen Nanqiao was startled and turned around subconsciously, only to see a neatly folded handkerchief handed to him.

"Why do you bring this up if you're reluctant?" Ning Su sat down on a chair beside her and looked up at her.

Shen Nanqiao's eyes and nose were red.

"I'm not reluctant."

Ning Su found it novel that she looked tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

"In that case, I will go and send Prince Cheng back right away." He pretended to stand up. "If you want to take people away from my house, you should at least ask me, the master, whether I agree or not, right?"

Shen Nanqiao rushed over and grabbed him.

"Don't go. I asked him to go."

Ning Su looked at her leisurely, and saw the little girl's tears falling.

"He said he would treat her well. If she follows him, she will be the most glorious Princess of Cheng. If she follows me, she will have to suffer in this small place." Shen Nanqiao wiped his eyes, "I am not strong enough to give her a better life."

Ning Su was just about to say that it would be fair to stay when he heard Shen Nanqiao say again.

"And if it weren't for me, my mother would have gone with him. She wasted all these years just because of his unfounded reputation." She raised her eyes and looked at Ning Su, "It's hard to mend a broken mirror. I have to find a way to give them a push."

Ning Su never knew that she had so many messy thoughts about this matter.

"Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. I think Mrs. Shen doesn't want you to have so many unfounded thoughts."

"But this is an indisputable fact. If it weren't for me, she could have been free and unrestrained. How could she have suffered in the Shen family's secret room for so many years?" Shen Nanqiao took a deep breath, "Someone has been silently waiting for her for so many years. It is a rare blessing. We should cherish it."

Ning Su reached out to wipe away the tears hanging from the tip of her nose.

"It's okay, just think of it as another relative to visit." He added meaningfully, "Maybe one day, you can openly acknowledge Princess Cheng as your mother. Who knows."

That is unless Emperor Ming dies.

Shen Nanqiao's eyebrows twitched. Could it be that Ning Su also had some ideas that went beyond those of a subject?

But before she could think about it, she heard Madam Liu outside saying that Aunt Shen wanted to see her.

Shen Nanqiao and Ning Su looked at each other and knew that she was just a weasel trying to pay New Year's greetings to the phoenix and had no good intentions.

"Send him back." Ning Su made the decision for Shen Nanqiao in a concise manner.

"Wait." Shen Nanqiao stopped Aunt Liu who was about to leave, "Bring her in. I also want to see what other ideas she has. If we refuse to let her in, wouldn't that be a waste of the original intention of sending someone to pass on the message?"

Nanny Liu pursed her lips, forced a smile, nodded, and went out.

Ning Su felt a little surprised. Nanny Liu was a role model from the Shangyi Bureau and had never made any mistakes in her behavior over the years.

Was his eyes blurry? He actually saw someone laughing?

If the palace maids and concubines she had trained saw this scene, they would probably be horrified, right?

He glanced sideways at the instigator, but found that Shen Nanqiao didn't show any expression fluctuation, as if he was used to it, so he joked.

"Madame Liu is very convinced by you. She also gives orders, but now she only listens to you."

Shen Nanqiao didn't know why he came up with such a sudden idea, but he still went along with the topic and explained.

"Not that they listen to me. Maybe people just like to watch the fun."

Ning Su naturally couldn't stay to watch the fun, so he went to the study.

As soon as he left, Aunt Liu came in with Shen Jingyi.

She was dressed very simply today, wearing a lotus green hibiscus patterned homely double-breasted jacket, with her hair tied up in a neat bun. She didn't look as arrogant as before, and even bowed respectfully when she entered the room.

"Hello, great aunt."

Shen Nanqiao was slightly surprised, but did not show it on his face.

Since the other person was so polite, she naturally had to treat him with courtesy. She gestured to Madam Liu to find a seat.

Shen Jingyi still maintained a decent smile.

"I came here today to thank my great aunt for her kindness a few days ago." She handed over an exquisite jewelry box. "This small gift is not enough to show my respect. I hope that the past can be wiped out."

Shen Nanqiao almost laughed out loud.

How short-sighted am I? Can a gift settle all grudges?

She didn't take the box and went straight to the point.

"Just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush. It's not good for the baby in your belly."

Shen Jingyi's smile paused, but she was not annoyed.

"In that case, I won't hide it anymore." She looked up at Madam Liu, "Can you please step aside?"

"No need." Shen Nanqiao refused calmly, "There's nothing to hide from others, but it's better to leave a witness, in case something happens to you, a pregnant woman, and you can't explain it clearly."

The mask that Shen Jingyi was holding up was almost broken. What did this mean? Could it be that she would use the child to blackmail her?

That's wishful thinking, it's your last resort.

"I heard that my great-aunt had distinguished guests over the past two days. As a member of the Shen family, I felt that I had to come and say hello."

Shen Nanqiao already knew that she was going to cause trouble, so he spoke calmly.

"He's just a distant relative of my grandparents' family. He has nothing to do with the Shen family."

The implication was that she didn't need to say hello, but Shen Jingyi was obviously not that easy to get rid of.

"When my stepmother was still alive, she also took me to meet the relatives from my hometown. Why was it possible to meet them then but not now?"

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Shen Nanqiao curled the corners of his lips.

"So you have to see me today?"

After experiencing several changes, Shen Jingyi had learned her lesson. Seeing Shen Nanqiao's unkind words, she immediately smiled heartily.

"No, I'm just worried about being impolite. If it's really inconvenient for you, I won't force you."

"Then Madam Liu, please see us off. Send Concubine Shen to the Marquis's residence and hand her over to the Marquis's wife before returning."

Shen Jingyi was slightly stunned. She thought that if she retreated to advance, Shen Nanqiao would compromise, but she never expected that she would just send her away.

The Ninth Princess has instructed that it is imperative to identify who lives in the backyard of Songchangxuan.

Thinking of this, she stood up and smiled.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore, and there's no need to trouble Madam. My maid is outside, and I can go back by myself."

Shen Nanqiao shrugged without commenting.

Shen Jingyi came out of the flower hall and seeing that there was no one around, she trotted quickly towards the backyard.

Shen Nanqiao took a look through the flower hall, then exchanged glances with Aunt Liu and said with a smile.

"Wait another half cup of tea, then we can go over and watch the fun."
