Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 17 I'll support her
Although she was only a teenage girl, at that moment she revealed the vicissitudes of an old woman.
What on earth had she been through?
Shen Nanqiao also felt that he had said something inappropriate, so he added another sentence.
"In this world, you can't trust anyone except yourself."
This was a Tai Chi statement. Ning Su, who had seen countless people, could naturally recognize it, but he had no intention of digging into the matter at this time.
"Let's go. I'll show you around my house." Shen Nanqiao took Ning Su's sleeve openly.
This girl's movements are becoming more and more skillful.
The two followed the old lady not far away into the banquet hall.
The third day return home was originally a family banquet, but because the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Shen family was snatched away by the concubine's daughter, all the relatives who could be related to the Shen family wanted to come and see the fun.
Although Old Lady Shen decisively rejected all irrelevant people, she had no choice but to invite the relatives from her own family.
Fortunately, the Shen family is not very large, so at most they can only have two tables.
Ning Ziyu is the prince and a son-in-law of a noble family. He was able to condescend to accompany Shen Jingyi, who was just a concubine, to her parents' home. He should have been treated as a guest of honor.
But there happened to be Ning Su, who had a more noble status and a higher generation than him, so Ning Ziyu could only sit below his great uncle in grievance.
The people in the third and fourth rooms in the house had no idea what had just happened at the door, and they were all waiting leisurely to see Shen Nanqiao make a fool of himself.
Everyone knows that the Shen family has a tradition of poetry and etiquette. This is equivalent to being broken off from an engagement at the critical moment, which is a great shame and humiliation.
However, the old lady personally brought her granddaughter in and placed her next to her without any disrespect.
Everyone looked at each other, confused as to what he meant.
But when he saw Ning Su also come in, he immediately understood something.
Minister Shen knew that he had offended the King of Hell today, and he did not dare to act like his father-in-law, so he wanted to make amends by saying a few polite words, so he stepped forward and said.
"Qiao Qiao was a spoiled child who didn't know the rules. If she has offended you in the past few days, I hope you will forgive her."
He originally thought that even if the other party didn't say a few polite words to him, he should at least smile.
Unexpectedly, Ning Su put the tea bowl in his hand on the table and looked back with a smile.
"Even a concubine's daughter dares to ride on her head. How can this be called pampering?"
Minister Shen was choked and stammered, not knowing how to continue, when he heard Ning Su's cold voice again.
"One got pregnant before marriage and committed adultery. The other one frequented brothels and could not tell good from bad. Among all of Minister Shen's children, the one who knows the rules best is probably my wife, right?"
After hearing what he said, Minister Shen felt very disappointed and could only hold on.
"It's okay for Shen to teach his son, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"The Ministry of Rites is a place for education. If you can't even take care of your own children, you probably don't need to be the Minister anymore."
Minister Shen was terrified. He didn't expect that this man would be so merciless.
Ning Su holds an extraordinary status in front of the emperor, and one word from him is worth a hundred words from others.
If what I said today were to reach the ears of the emperor, I would be afraid that my official position would be in danger.
"This is just a minor family matter. I promise that I will strictly discipline my children in the future."
Ning Su sneered.
"It's too late to undo what has been done. The damage has already been done. Who are you going to show off to?" He frowned. "If I kill you and then apologize, will that be of any use?"
Minister Shen had a sad face, which meant he was unwilling to compromise.
Aunt Xu was not familiar with the rules of officialdom, but she knew how to read people's expressions. Seeing her master's sad face, she immediately felt a little unfair.
She smiled awkwardly.
"My master has been an official for twenty years. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. How can he be dismissed with just one sentence?"
Shen Jingyi was also a little dumbfounded. She had only heard of eunuchs' utterly omnipotent deeds in history books.
"What do you think of yourself as an official appointed by the court? Can you do whatever you want? I believe that the emperor is a wise ruler and will never allow officials to control the government."
She felt that what she said was very righteous, and she deliberately mentioned the current emperor.
No matter how arrogant Ning Su is, he still has to be cautious.
Unexpectedly, Ning Su smiled.
"In official conversations, the concubines and concubines can interrupt at will. This is the good family education of Minister Shen."
Minister Shen was horrified and immediately turned around and scolded.
"Shut up, both of you!"
He favors Aunt Shen and even indulges Shen Jingyi's rebelliousness, but that doesn't mean he can't tell the difference between good and bad.
What is Ning Su’s identity?
Even if I spoke a few more words to him, I would feel I was marrying up to him. How could he tolerate his concubine or concubine's daughter eyeing him?
"Minister Shen does not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children and disregards etiquette. I will intervene for once and supervise him on behalf of the censor." Ning Su's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he spoke nonchalantly, "See you in the morning tomorrow."
Minister Shen had figured out that Ning Su came today just to support Shen Nanqiao.
No matter how much I planned, I never expected that this living devil would take his own daughter so seriously.
It seems that I can only attack her.
"Qiao Qiao, we are a family after all, why do we have to be so awkward?" He shamelessly looked at the daughter of the firstborn who he had ignored for a long time, "Besides, family disgrace should not be made public, you don't want the father-in-law and son-in-law to fall out, right?"
"Bah!" The old lady raised her eyebrows and glared, "You have failed in your duty as a father, and you still have the nerve to educate your daughter with morals and etiquette?"
"Then what qualifications do you have to talk about my father? As a grandmother, you are so biased that it goes to my ribs!" Shen Jingyi could no longer hold back and stood up suddenly.
Ning Ziyu was frightened and hurried to comfort her.
"You're still pregnant, go slower."
The old lady was about to explode but was gently stopped by Shen Nanqiao.
"Grandma, there is no need to lower yourself to get angry with the younger generation. Just let your granddaughter come."
After saying that, she turned around lightly and faced Shen Jingyi.
"The ruler and his subjects, the country, the elder and the younger, the legitimate and the illegitimate, I don't know what kind of environment created your so-called equality for all, but at least in our etiquette and laws, these are facts that cannot be changed."
She caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the main room and knew it was Shen Hong.
"Everything has its own rules, so there is no need to talk about those unfounded principles here. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since you live in this world, you must follow the rules of this world."
She glanced at Shen Jingyi and Ning Ziyu who were standing side by side.
"The court has its own rules, and the harem has its own rules. It's okay that you got him by using underhanded means. It only proves that birds of a feather flock together. He is not a good person either."
Shen Nanqiao finished speaking in one breath and felt relieved.
Although it was far less than the trick Shen Jingyi had used on her in her previous life, at least at this moment, she maintained the dignity of a legitimate daughter in front of everyone in the Shen family.
When I turned my head, I met a pair of bottomless eyes.
Shen Nanqiao then realized it belatedly and felt a little embarrassed.
Would he feel that he was being a little jealous?
Ning Suyuan was a little worried that she would be unable to get over it, but he didn't expect that the girl was so insightful.
Shen Jingyi was speechless and just stood there angrily.
Those from other families who were able to appear at the banquet for the aunt's return home were naturally the wife and daughters, and they all secretly praised her in their hearts when they heard the words.
There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, how can a concubine's daughter be allowed to reign supreme?
The old lady nodded with satisfaction.
When the marriage was first ruined, she was worried that Shen Nanqiao would never recover from it. She didn't expect that this usually delicate girl could stand firm like this.
"I don't know what kind of family education the prince has, but taking a concubine before appointing a legitimate wife is not what a wealthy family does."
Ning Ziyu's face turned as red as pig liver.
"It's really out of love..."
"Emotions should be controlled by etiquette! If you allow your lust to control you, you are worse than an animal." The old lady stood up slowly and spoke calmly, "The Shen family doesn't dare to marry such a relative. Please do as you please, my lord."
Ning Ziyu was completely dumbfounded. It was said that a son-in-law was a distinguished guest, but was the old lady ordering him to leave?
Shen Jingyi had never expected to encounter such an experience when she returned to her parents' home. She was looking forward to seeing Shen Nanqiao make a fool of himself.
I didn't expect that the clown was actually me.
Faced with the eyes of the people watching the fun, even though she had experienced the ups and downs in modern society, she still felt like she was being stripped naked and watched by everyone.
"Are you still not leaving? Are you waiting for me to take you there?" Ning Su played with his ring slowly, "But I don't know where I'll take you there."
Ning Ziyu had never felt so embarrassed in his life. He stood up with anger in his heart.
Shen Jingyi was also panicked.
Not to mention anything else, if she is kicked out by her parents' home today, she will have no way to live in Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion in the future.
Her mother-in-law was already not very satisfied with her birth as a concubine's daughter. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she lost the support of the Shangshu Mansion.
The instigator of all this was Shen Nanqiao.
She is just the daughter of the first wife, why do everyone from Old Lady Shen to Ning Su want to protect her!
She cast a resentful look at Shen Nanqiao.
However, the next moment, Ning Su appeared like a ghost, blocking Shen Jingyi.
"Do you want to leave the Shen family sideways?"
