Remarry 9,000 Years Old

This statement was obviously a bit too much. Killing someone is not enough, and the fights among the women were just a matter of lowering their heads.

But Shen Nanqiao kowtowed and admitted his mistake as soon as he opened his mouth.

In this world, apart from the Emperor, Empress and Queen Mother, no one else can bear the Ninth Princess's kneeling.

Lian ***'s brows slightly frowned. She knew that Shen Nanqiao was not a domineering person, and there must be a reason for his behavior today.

The Ninth Princess looked at Shen Nanqiao deeply.

"Isn't Madam Pingyang going too far?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Nanqiao slammed the cards in his hand on the table and slowly stood up.

"If you want to search my house, search my house. If you want to accuse me of spreading rumors about my deceased mother, spread rumors about my deceased mother. How dare you accuse me of going too far?"

"Madam Pingyang knows whether I am spreading rumors or not." The Ninth Princess' eyes were filled with anger. She wished she could rush to the backyard to catch someone and tear Shen Nanqiao's calm face to see if she could still be stubborn.

Shen Nanqiao's eyes swept across the crowd and finally fell on the Ninth Princess. She shrugged.

"If Princess Nine is sure that there is the person you are looking for in my backyard, then she is sure that she will not lose. If she will not lose, then what is wrong with bullying?" She sneered, "Unless you are being unreasonable!"

The Ninth Princess was almost fooled by her, but this move made her more certain that Shen Nanqiao was deliberately being mysterious in the hope that she would retreat.

Thinking of this, she calmed down and smiled gently.

"In that case, I will make a bet with Madam Pingyang in front of you today. If I can't find the person, I will kowtow to her and admit my mistake." She paused, "But if I find the person, Madam Pingyang will also kowtow to me."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Nanqiao spoke up in a straightforward manner.

"Deal. With so many ladies here as witnesses, we don't have to worry about anyone going back on their word."

The guards went to search the backyard as instructed. Shen Nanqiao sat down slowly and nodded to the emperor.

"You touched the card, it's time to play it."

*** raised an eyebrow: "Why don't you go and take a look?"

"My luck with cards has just improved, so I don't want to waste it." Shen Nanqiao re-arranged the cards in his hand, "The Ninth Princess can't deliberately put someone in my backyard to frame me."

*** understood her intention, but did not point it out. He just shook his head and smiled at her. It seemed that Lao Jiu's wife was going to suffer a loss today.

Seeing this, Princess Nine didn't want to follow and simply found a chair to sit down.

Liuyun came in carrying a plate of exquisite embossed desserts with a piece of paper underneath the plate. He saluted Shen Nanqiao without looking away.

"The governor asked me to give this dumpling to my wife as a cushion. The banknote below is for you to play cards. If you lose, it's his."

The room suddenly became quiet, and several ladies, including the lady, looked at her.

Even though Shen Nanqiao thought he was thick-skinned enough, his cheeks still blushed.

Princess Xu, who was sitting next to Shen Nanqiao, was quick to reach out and pull out the banknote, and immediately took a breath of cold air.

"Five thousand taels from the Guohua! Did he think we were all betting on the house or the land?"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor's wife stood up, picked up a dumpling, and smiled intimately.

"Oh my, Yuhuazhai's Fulu dumplings are a popular snack that you can't buy even if you have any connections. I didn't expect that the factory official cares so much about his wife."

*** curled his lips in disdain: "He has his own business, he is just offering flowers to Buddha."

Shen Nanqiao didn't hear this clearly. She just felt her cheeks burning. Although she knew that Ning Su was deliberately supporting her in front of outsiders, she still felt sweet and embarrassed.

The Ninth Princess sat on the outskirts of the crowd, gnashing her teeth.

Ning Lingjun, who used to be rude to girls, would actually buy snacks to please a girl one day!

She stared at Shen Nanqiao's rosy white face, wishing she could pounce on her and grab her.

Shen Nanqiao couldn't resist the teasing of the crowd and quickly gave instructions to Aunt Liu.

"Go to our small kitchen and get some snacks for the grandmothers and ladies so they won't quarrel."

Nanny Liu smiled and took the order and left. In a moment she brought back a few exquisite small boxes of shortbread and placed one in front of each person.

When I opened it, I saw a nine-square grid inside, with each small grid filled with exquisite snacks of different flavors. Only the middle grid was covered with thin glutinous rice paper.

"What's in here?" The wife of the Grand Tutor was the first to poke through the grid of the glutinous rice paper, and finally took out a small candied hawthorn from it. "This thing is really new."

The ladies found it interesting and followed suit, and as a result, each of them made different snacks.

***’s eyes flashed.

This nine-grid blind box was popular in her era. How could Shen Nanqiao know about it?

And this is not the first time.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a commotion of footsteps outside, and the leader of the guards ran in quickly.

The Ninth Princess stood up suddenly.

"how?"

"Reporting to the princess, no one was found."
