Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Shen Jingyi was sent back personally by the maid from the Empress Dowager's palace. Everyone in Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion was quite shocked, especially Su Wan'er, who felt like her eyes were about to pop out of her head.

"The Empress Dowager said that she and Concubine Shen get along very well. If she has free time in the future, she will often visit the Cining Palace. And the baby in her belly, please take good care of it, my Lord and his wife."

Although Marquis Pingyuan and his wife did not understand the situation, they knew that the Queen Mother was supporting Shen Jingyi. For the Marquis's Mansion, which had suffered a series of blows recently, this was simply pie in the sky.

"Don't worry, Madam. I will follow your orders and take good care of her. In a few days, I will ask you to bring her to the palace to express your gratitude."

The nanny glanced at the Marquis's wife with a half-smile.

"Madam, you want to take charge of the household affairs, right? Your Excellency is very busy, so it would be better for Aunt Shen to come to the palace when she is free."

Marquis Pingyuan hit a snag, and his wife blushed and turned pale. She felt completely humiliated by being rejected in person.

It was Pingyuan Hou who knew how to adapt to the situation. He nodded and agreed quickly, and also gave a huge reward to the emperor.

The nanny left, and Shen Jingyi was treated like a star and led to the inner room. The marquis's wife quickly asked someone to go to the small kitchen to bring some bird's nest.

Pingyuan Hou knew that there must be a reason why the Queen Mother did this, so he carefully inquired about it.

"Did the Queen Mother give any instructions?"

Shen Jingyi learned her lesson this time. She sat down at the table, deliberately glanced at Su Wan'er who was standing next to Ning Ziyu, and cleared her throat.

"The Queen Mother did ask me to pass on some important words to my father-in-law, but this is a serious matter, so we have to dismiss the attendants."

Pingyuan Hou understood and immediately winked at Ning Ziyu.

Ning Ziyu half pushed and half pulled Su Wan'er out.

"Then the wedding dress is ready, go and try it on."

Su Wan'er felt quite dissatisfied and a little depressed.

"I will soon be a part of this family, so is there anything I can't listen to?"

Shen Jingyi knew that as a co-wife, if she wanted to suppress the other party, she had to firmly grasp the weak spot of Pingyuan Hou and his wife, so she pretended to sigh.

"It's fine for me, but I'm afraid that if the Queen Mother finds out, she'll blame me and implicate the entire Marquisate."

The Marquis's wife had been in the rear quarters for a long time and was well aware of the interests involved. She immediately frowned and shouted.

"You are an outsider before you even enter the door. Since the Queen Mother asked Jingyi to pass on the message, you should follow her lead. Why don't you get out now!"

Su Wan'er didn't dare to offend her future mother-in-law. Although she was resentful, she could only leave in anger.

Ning Ziyu considerately closed the door. Shen Jingyi smiled smugly and then lowered her voice to Pingyuan Hou.

"The Emperor followed Madam Pingyang's advice and arbitrarily decided on the Crown Princess, who was a girl from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. The Queen Mother was very dissatisfied and was preparing to call back the Ninth Prince to compete with the Crown Prince."

Marquis Pingyuan was shocked. Is this a sign of rebellion?

"What is the intention of the Queen Mother?"

Shen Jingyi drank a sip of bird's nest and deliberately spoke gently to Ning Ziyu.

"Can you go to the kitchen and find me something to eat? The Queen Mother has been talking to me about a lot of things, and I haven't even had time to eat snacks. I'm still hungry."

Pingyuan Hou repeatedly asked Ning Ziyu to go to the small kitchen and supervise the preparation of some dishes that Shen Jingyi liked. Seeing that Ning Ziyu was reluctant to go out, Shen Jingyi said again.

"The Queen Mother said that my father-in-law has a close relationship with many old officials, so we can take this opportunity to visit him..."

A look of worry appeared on Pingyuan Hou's face. The Queen Mother's move did not leave him any way out.

When the old marquis was alive, the Pingyuan Marquisate had a very good relationship with several cabinet ministers and they visited each other frequently.

However, in recent years, Ning Su has been in power, and people are afraid of the reputation of the East Factory, so they gradually stop associating with their family.

The Queen Mother's move was intended to make him completely draw a line between himself and Ning Su.

If we say that Pingyuan Marquis Mansion has been able to achieve what it is today in recent years, it is all thanks to Ning Su. Emperor Ming loved Ning Su and kept giving him some unskilled jobs, and even promoted him two levels on this basis.

It would be difficult to give up this big tree rashly at this moment.

"Father, think about how the current emperor got to this position. The Queen Mother can support him, so she can naturally support the Ninth Prince." Shen Jingyi followed the Queen Mother's instructions and persuaded him, "You are just a marquis now, but after the success, it will be a formal achievement of following the dragon, which can ensure three generations of worry!"

Pingyuan Hou sighed.

"I know this, but it's not easy to follow the dragon. If you're not careful, you might lose your head!"

Shen Jingyi knew his cautious nature, so she added another weight.

"Today, the Queen Mother kept me in the Cining Palace in front of the Emperor. Whether you agree or not, I'm afraid we have already been regarded as the Queen Mother's party." Seeing that Pingyuan Hou's face changed, she continued, "Think about it, the future Crown Princess will be chosen by Madam Pingyang. If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, my uncle's family must be the only one in power. At that time, won't our Pingyuan Hou Mansion be at the mercy of others?"

These words hit the nail on the head for Marquis Pingyuan.

Ever since my uncle got married, he has obviously become estranged from them, and my aunt is definitely not an easy person to deal with.

Once the prince ascends the throne, my family will probably be relegated to oblivion.

As the saying goes, fortune and honor are achieved through risk, so it’s better to take a chance.

Thinking of this, he was silent for a moment, and began to give instructions to the Marquis' wife.

"Go prepare two generous gifts. I have to visit both families today to personally wish them a happy new year."

Marquis Pingyuan brought his wife and generous gifts and first went to the residence of Marquis Jingzhong. This old minister had held a very important position in the court in the past.

After the death of the previous emperor, he was dissatisfied with the empress dowager's manipulation of the court and the ascension of Emperor Ming to the throne, so he resolutely retired and lived in idleness at home.

There are many old ministers like him who are dissatisfied with the new emperor, and they usually follow his lead.

Because he had a good relationship with the old marquis, he was the first family that Pingyuan Hou wanted to instigate to rebel.

The housekeeper politely let the person in.

"The master is in the study receiving guests. Please wait for a moment."

Pingyuan Hou knew that he had come without warning and the other party was naturally unprepared, so he quickly said politely.

"No, it's just that I came at an unlucky time. It doesn't matter if I wait a while."

As a result, he waited for more than half an hour, and the tea was changed twice, which made him feel empty inside.

Just when the two were about to back down, they saw Marquis Jingzhong slowly walking out from the inner hall.

Pingyuan Hou hurried forward and was about to pay his respects, but he saw a pair of beautiful women following him.

Shen Nanqiao bowed gently.

"I am grateful to you for your kindness today. If I have the chance someday, I will definitely come and ask for your advice on chess."

A rare smile appeared on Jingzhong Hou's usually serious face.

"You didn't try your best today, and you were afraid of losing face for me. I can't tell. Well, let's go all out next time and play another game!"

Shen Nanqiao smiled and nodded.

"Next time I'll bring my own wine and pickled duck. Don't bother me for nothing."

Marquis Jingzhong was obviously enjoying it very much and snorted at Ning Su who was standing silently beside him.

"A clever wife accompanies a clumsy husband. This boy is really lucky."

I thought Ning Su was going to be displeased, but unexpectedly he nodded seriously.

"It's true that I'm reaching above my station."

Marquis Jingzhong was stunned when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.

At this moment, Pingyuan Hou wished there was a crack in the ground that he could crawl into immediately, but things did not go as he wished, and Shen Nanqiao saw the two of them at a glance.

"What a coincidence, the Marquis is here to pay New Year's greetings as well?"

Ning Su cast a calm gaze over, as if he knew everything.

Pingyuan Hou was startled. He never expected to meet this couple here. It was as if he was caught doing something secretly.

Before he had time to figure out why the other party could guess what he was thinking, he saw the couple who were saying goodbye slowly passing by him.

Shen Nanqiao spoke in a voice that only they could hear.

"The next one, I hope the Marquis can be one step ahead of me."
