Remarry 9,000 Years Old

When I came out of the Shen Mansion, it was almost dusk.

It is not right for my aunt to leave when the sun sets.

But Ning Su didn't mind these things and forced Shen Nanqiao to have a private conversation with the old lady for a while.

It gets dark quickly in winter, and by the time the two got into the carriage, dusk had already fallen.

Outside the small carved window were the lights of thousands of homes. Shen Nanqiao looked outside in silence.

She claims that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but she also knows that the worst blow to people in this world is actually the disappointment that comes after expectations are accumulated and then the fire is drained away.

It's like building a house, you have to add layer by layer, and finally tear it down with your own hands. The feeling of loss after the long wait is the real blow.

So after her rebirth, she planned to take every step carefully and was prepared to endure the anger for a while.

However, what no one expected was that Ning Su took the initiative from all sides in an almost overbearing manner and dealt a heavy blow to Shen Jingyi.

She was not an ungrateful person, so she did not feel resentful about having her plans disrupted.

It's just that she has put herself in a low position over the years, so when someone treats her like a treasure, she would be at a loss for a moment.

"Blame me for acting on my own initiative?"

Shen Nanqiao came back to his senses and shook his head slowly.

"I just think you don't have to spend so much time on me."

Although the Ministry of Rites is not an important department, it is in charge of all weddings, funerals and even ancestral temple sacrifices. If it seriously competes with Ning Su, it will not be a good thing.

Ning Su raised his eyebrows, as if he found it very new.

Then I heard her speak softly again.

"Court affairs are like walking on thin ice. It is better to have more friends than more enemies. It is not enough for others to take the initiative to make friends, so how can we blindly make enemies?"

"Are you looking down on me?"

Shen Nanqiao knew that he had misunderstood, and looked up to explain, but unexpectedly met a pair of deep eyes.

"The Ministry of Rites is just a small one. This governor doesn't even take it seriously." He slowly stroked the ring on his finger. "Besides, Shen Mingde has been in this position for a long time. He has no sense of crisis at all. It would be good to give him a wake-up call."

Shen Nanqiao thought about it for a moment and understood the deep meaning.

Her father is a veteran in the officialdom and he will not easily take sides. Although he will not be an enemy of Ning Su, he will never turn against him either.

With today's excuse of making a show of force, he knew that this position was not stable, so he was naturally willing to submit to Ning Su's command.

Thinking of this, my originally somewhat anxious mood calmed down a little.

"So to be honest, it's all thanks to you."

Shen Nanqiao suddenly realized that he had said so many things in a roundabout way just to comfort her and teach her not to blame herself too much.

Take everything upon yourself.

The intimate words that the old lady had just said naturally popped into my mind.

"It was a bit annoying that this marriage fell through, but who would have thought that there would be a silver lining. It shows that everything has its destiny. I think the child is good. Although his reputation is not so good, he seems to be devoted to you."

Yes, being able to survive in desperate situations is already a good thing.

It is definitely a pleasant surprise to find someone who truly protects her.

"Now can you tell me what I said in your house before?"

Shen Nanqiao was stunned by his sudden question.

"Which sentence?"

"That's something that neither the Emperor nor the Crown Prince can fully believe."

Ning Su leaned leisurely against the wall of the carriage, without much surprise on his face.

Shen Nanqiao thought to himself, awful, why is he still thinking about this?

She hesitated.

"Didn't I tell you? You should be careful with everyone else in this world except yourself."

There was a silk lantern hanging inside the carriage, swaying and casting flickering light and shadows on her face, making it difficult to discern her expression.

But Ning Su had very sharp eyesight, and confusion was clearly hidden in his big, deer-like eyes.

He nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

It was Shen Nanqiao who hesitated for a moment and then spoke again in a soft voice.

"Everyone knows that you are the prince's companion and the emperor's favorite minister, but being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. It is lonely at the top. Ups and downs are common in the officialdom. If you fall, it is not easy to recover."

Ning Su frowned silently.

Shen Nanqiao was only in her teens and had been raised in seclusion, but her tone sounded as if she had experienced the decline of prosperity.

He remained calm.

"Then what should we do according to your opinion?"

Shen Nanqiao was stumped by the question.

All under heaven belongs to the king, and he holds great power. Even if he wants to withdraw, it may not be easy to do.

"Just... be more careful."

Shen Nanqiao silently calculated in his heart that in addition to revenge in this life, he had to find a way to help Ning Su avoid this dead end.

The couple did not speak a word along the way. When the carriage reached the back alley of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, they found that Ning Su's right-hand man Liuyun was already standing at the door waiting.

He looked straight ahead and bowed respectfully.

"Master, something happened in the palace. The Emperor asked you to come to the palace immediately."

Ning Su's face remained calm and he nodded to Liuyun.

"You escort the lady back to the mansion. If there are any outsiders disturbing us, we will deal with them."

Shen Nanqiao's heart moved.

The figure of the previous life, who fell to the ground alone and covered in blood, flashed before his eyes.

"No need!"

The voice was so intense that Ning Su looked at her sideways.

"I have Madam Liu here, and I can handle the people in Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion." She promised solemnly, "You can take Liuyun away. It's always better to have more people to protect you."

Liuyun was slightly surprised when he heard this.

The young lady made the governor sound like a fragile object, but in fact the governor's skills were far superior to hers.

But he would not say this out loud.

Ning Su nodded seriously.

"If you have anything to say, please send someone to the palace to deliver a message. If I don't come back tonight, you can just rest."

Liuyun was more and more surprised. The Governor had never been so patient with anyone before.

It seems that he cares a lot about his new wife.

After watching Ning Su mount his horse and ride away, Shen Nanqiao was about to enter the mansion when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the other end of the alley.

A eunuch dressed as a eunuch stepped off his horse.

"I am ordered to invite Madam Ning to the palace."

Shen Nanqiao was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face and bowed politely.

"May I ask which noble person summoned you?"

The eunuch was also very respectful.

"The Queen Mother has ordered that she would like to see the Madam."

Shen Nanqiao was stunned.

In her previous life, she had met the Empress Dowager several times, but it was all because of the relationship with the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.

And if the Queen Mother summoned her in this life, it was obviously not because of Ning Ziyu.

As soon as Ning Su left, the imperial edict arrived, waiting for her to return, and the time was clocked to the exact moment.

It goes without saying who it is directed at.

"Please wait a moment. I will go in and change my clothes so as not to be disrespectful to the Queen Mother."

The eunuch smiled politely.

"The Queen Mother said that we should talk among ourselves and not be so polite. Madam, please leave now and don't keep her waiting."

Shen Nanqiao was shocked, but he still looked obedient.

After getting on the carriage, Nanny Liu comforted her.

"Don't worry, Madam. Once we enter the palace, I will find a way to send someone to deliver a letter to the governor."

Shen Nanqiao hesitated for a moment.

"No need. Since the Queen Mother chose to do this when he is not around, she must have her own plans. Let's just fight back."
