Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 171 The bigger the better

When the Ninth Princess heard this, her brain almost exploded.

This is absolutely impossible!

The spies in her mansion have been lying in ambush near Ning Mansion. Although Prince Cheng has been coming and going more frequently in the past two days, the spies reported that he always left alone and never took anyone with him.

Moreover, Shen Jingyi had personally come to investigate before and confirmed that the person was Madam Shen, and that she was in the backyard room. Only then did she have enough confidence to ask for the imperial decree.

Otherwise, who would dare to make a promise in front of the Queen Mother? Wouldn't that be digging a hole for yourself?

Shen Nanqiao raised his eyes and glanced at the Ninth Princess who was full of disbelief, then spoke calmly.

"My ears haven't been very good these past two days. I didn't quite hear what the guard said just now." She admired the Ninth Princess's exasperation and deliberately dragged out her words, "You mean, you didn't find anything?"

The wife of the Grand Tutor is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

"Oh, what are you talking about? First you slandered me for deceiving the emperor, and then you used my deceased mother as an excuse. Little Nine's wife, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this time you were really a bit unkind." She looked around at everyone and said bluntly, "Everyone knows that you admired Ning Changchen in the past, but that was all in the past. It's past now. You've also married Old Nine, so it's not right to dig up the past and find fault with his wife."

These words were like a sharp blade, tearing away the last layer of the Ninth Princess's fig leaf. Her face turned red and white.

The ladies standing by were also secretly happy. After all, she was used to being arrogant. Now, seeing her being ridiculed by the Grand Tutor's wife, it was really a relief.

Shen Nanqiao listened for a while and then took over the conversation.

"My husband is handsome, so naturally there are many people who admire him. So since I am Madam Ning, I am not afraid of others finding fault with me." She glanced at the back of the yard, "But this matter involves my late mother, so we have to talk about it. The Ninth Princess insulted my mother so openly and even brought up the Queen Mother. If I sit back and do nothing, wouldn't I be worse than pigs and dogs!"

The Ninth Princess was surrounded by people, but she still maintained her composure on the surface. When she heard Shen Nanqiao say this, she interrupted.

"The factory guards are always good at hiding. Who knows where they have hidden Madam Shen. If Madam Pingyang has a clear conscience, why not call out the maids and old women to ask them what they say?" She sneered, "I don't believe that someone clearly lives in the backyard, how could they just disappear out of thin air?"

Shen Nanqiao raised his eyebrows and said "Huh".

"Princess, what a grand ceremony! You searched the courtyard and interrogated the servants. Do you think Songchangxuan is your home?" She looked over coldly. "It's not time to go to bed yet. Isn't it too early for Princess Nine to dream of being the mistress?"

The Ninth Princess's face turned pale. She hated it most when people talked about her past feelings for Ning Su. At this moment, she didn't care about much and sneered.

"Madam Pingyang doesn't dare?"

Shen Nanqiao shrugged.

"I have nothing to fear, but Princess Nine should kowtow first, and then we can talk about other things."

The Ninth Princess clenched her handkerchief tightly and spoke in a firm tone.

"Just because you hid the person doesn't mean he doesn't exist. Why should I kowtow to him?"

Shen Nanqiao slowly revealed a smile that had a special meaning.

"The backyard of my house is only the size of a palm, and you brought the elite guards from the palace with you. If you can't find them, you're accusing me of hiding people. The Ninth Princess is really taking advantage of you."

***, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"The ninth daughter-in-law insists that her biological mother is still alive. Do you have any evidence?"

The Ninth Princess was slightly stunned. If she pulled Shen Jingyi out now, Shen Nanqiao would definitely be doubly wary of her in the future, and it would be even more difficult for her to act.

However, if he didn't move this chess piece, today's matter would not end well, so he gritted his teeth and said.

"Mrs. Pingyang's sister, Aunt Shen from the Pingyuan Marquis's residence, saw Mrs. Shen in her backyard with her own eyes."

*** subconsciously looked at Shen Nanqiao, but saw that her expression did not change at all, as if she had known it for a long time.

"Mrs. Shen is a concubine's daughter, and I am a legitimate daughter. She is not her biological daughter, but I am her biological daughter. Between the two of us, who do you think knows my mother better?" She tucked the fallen hair behind her ears. "Princess, I think you also have a biological mother. Do you think your half-sisters know their mothers better than you do?"

The Ninth Princess frowned and asked someone to go to Pingyuan Hou to call Shen Jingyi over.

The person arrived soon. *** still remembered how crazy she was when she tried to stop the carriage last time, and she felt a little unhappy.

Before Shen Jingyi opened her mouth, she made a judgment.

"I think she is a bit crazy, and what she said is probably not credible." In order to prove that what she said was true, "On the second day of the first lunar month, the Japanese palace sent Madam Pingyang home. In order to curry favor with me, she stopped the car in the street and said a lot of nonsense."

Shen Jingyi was originally full of confidence today, but she felt disappointed after hearing these words.

*** has always been the object of flattery by everyone in the capital, so her words are naturally convincing.

The Ninth Princess had no choice but to avoid the main point and ignore this passage.

"Mrs. Shen saw Madam Shen in the backyard with her own eyes." She did not dare to drag Prince Cheng into the water rashly. "Mrs. Shen, tell me, is that right?"

Shen Jingyi pretended to wipe away her tears.

"That's right. That day I heard that my sister had relatives from her hometown, so I thought it was reasonable for me to come and say hello. But I never expected that I would see my stepmother as soon as I entered the yard." She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. "I went to recognize her, but my mother refused. I thought she needed some time, so I left first. But when I came back, she disappeared without a trace."

Shen Nanqiao raised his eyelids and smiled.

"According to what you said, you only saw your mother at that time?"

Shen Jingyi was stunned by the question. She also saw Prince Cheng, but could she tell him? She subconsciously looked at the Ninth Princess, but was interrupted by Shen Nanqiao.

"Why, do you still need to ask the Ninth Princess if you didn't see anyone?"

The Ninth Princess didn't know how to give any hints, so she could only speak meaningfully.

"Just tell the truth."

Shen Jingyi made up her mind.

"Besides my mother, I also saw Prince Cheng."

As soon as these words were spoken, *** was the first to slam the table and stand up.

"How dare you! You are slandering my stepmother for having an affair with a man other than me, and you even dare to drag Prince Cheng into this!"

The Ninth Princess secretly thought that Shen Jingyi was more of a hindrance than a help. Prince Cheng was the most respected prince by the current emperor, and it was not appropriate to make enemies with him unless it was absolutely necessary.

She knew very well that the two of them had an ambiguous relationship, but now was not the time to bring it up. The girl didn't understand her hint at all.

The words were out and it was impossible to take them back. Shen Jingyi calmed down and bowed to the emperor slowly.

"I am willing to confront King Cheng. If I tell you anything false, I will punish you."

*** sneered: "A concubine like you is qualified to confront Prince Cheng?"

The Ninth Princess pondered for a moment. Now that things had come to this, it might not be a bad idea to make a big fuss. Otherwise, if Madam Shen was really hidden, it would be difficult to find her. It would be better to make a big fuss and beat the master to death with random punches.

You won't suffer any loss anyway.

Thinking of this, she stood up.

"As it concerns the prince's innocence, I think that Aunt Shen should confront Prince Cheng face to face. If not, at least she can prove her innocence." He squinted at Shen Nanqiao and said, "I just don't know if Madam Pingyang dares to do it."

"Why not?" Shen Nanqiao, who was named, smiled and said, "I am still waiting for the princess to kowtow to me and admit her mistake."

But she slowly stood up and bowed to everyone.

"I'm sorry I can't entertain you today." After saying that, he turned around and told Aunt Liu, "Go prepare my imperial robes. Let's go to the palace with the Ninth Princess."

*** was obviously enjoying the fun, so she also stood up and stretched.

"No need to prepare a sedan chair, just take my carriage." She called her housekeeper, "Go and send a letter to Prince Cheng's mansion, asking him to come to the palace immediately for a confrontation."

Since the ninth brother's wife wants to make a big fuss, then let her do it.

Shen Jingyi glanced at the Ninth Princess with a little uneasiness, and the latter gave her a look, signaling her to be patient.

"Then Aunt Shen, please come with me."

Shen Jingyi couldn't wait to hear it, and immediately followed behind him attentively.

Shen Nanqiao suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around, looking at his half-sister meaningfully.

"The princess said she had to kowtow and admit her mistakes. Aunt Shen might as well think about how you will bear the consequences if you fail in the confrontation." She glanced at Shen Jingyi's belly, "This child can protect you once, but it can't protect you forever."
