Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 31 Kneeling and Handing Over the Stewardship

Songchangxuan fell into complete silence for a moment.

Including the two girls who were still suffering from lust on the ground just now, there was a moment of pause at this moment.

The newly married wife of the factory official had a beautiful face. Beautiful women's words are always more convincing than ordinary people's. However, what she just said sounded like a lie.

For a man with utmost power and who has schemed countless things, the word "clean and innocent" obviously has nothing to do with him, right?

Not to mention that his reputation was brought down by them. Did he ever have a reputation to begin with?

Not only everyone else, but even Ning Su himself couldn't stand listening to such confusing right and wrong remarks.

He raised his eyelids and looked at Shen Nanqiao. The little girl stood there, like a tall lotus, her face tense.

His serious look made it difficult for him to stop him.

Mrs. Hou didn't quite understand what Shen Nanqiao meant.

The infighting in the harem is all about hiding a sharp edge behind a soft touch. She has brought the conflict out into the open like this, which is a sign of a falling out.

But the sentence just now has a meaning of picking it up high and putting it down gently. What is the intention?

The wife of Marquis Pingyuan was a little unsure. She glanced at the old lady cautiously, then swallowed her saliva and spoke tentatively.

"Aunt, do you mean that an apology will do?"

Her intuition told her that this matter might not be that simple.

However, Shen Nanqiao nodded.

"Yes, just apologize, but you have to choose a good day."

Do we have to check the almanac for this kind of thing? Is there a rule in the almanac that says we should admit defeat?

Or is it that Shen Nanqiao comes from a family of the Ministry of Rites, and the almanac he uses is different from theirs?

Just when Lady Pingyuan Hou was lost in her thoughts, she heard Shen Nanqiao speak again.

"If I remember correctly, the old lady's birthday is next month, right?" She glanced at everyone calmly and chuckled, "I think it's better to have the birthday banquet today than to wait for a better day. I'll explain the matter in front of everyone and apologize to my husband, and that'll be it."

The tone of her voice sounded as if she had suffered a great loss.

However, when the Marquis's wife heard it, she was truly horrified.

Old Lady Ning is one of the few first-rank imperial concubines in the current dynasty. This birthday banquet is for her seventieth birthday, so almost all the wives of the powerful and wealthy in the dynasty will be present.

If she were to admit in front of everyone that she had placed a maid in Ning Su's bed, and tell others about it, how would she live her life in the future?

It doesn't matter if the power of the family is handed over for the time being. Even for the sake of Marquis Pingyuan's face, the old lady will not let the power fall into the hands of others. However, the bad reputation cannot be repaired.

Mrs. Pingyuan Hou felt a chill on her back.

When wealthy and powerful families discuss marriage, one of the things they have to consider is the mother-in-law.

If outsiders knew that I had grown so big that I could meddle in the affairs of my elders, who would dare to marry their daughter into the Marquis Pingyuan's mansion?

The most embarrassing thing is that, apart from Yu'er's unmarried wife, he also has a daughter who is still unmarried!

Shen Nanqiao is trying to cut off their family's future.

The marquis' wife, who had been contented with the harem for half her life, was now truly troubled by her true feelings.

The old lady originally looked down on Shen Nanqiao as a junior, but at this moment she realized that the little girl was very scheming, no less than the old hand who had been working in the backyard for many years.

She took advantage of the wife of Marquis Pingyuan to avenge the incident at her previous wedding.

As a woman herself, she understood the vengeful mood of the little girl. After all, it was not something to be forgiven for her husband to have had an affair before marriage, especially when that person was her own sister.

But as the old lady of a mansion, she couldn't let this happen, as it was related to the reputation of the Ning family.

"Don't let dirty laundry be aired in public. Let's solve these minor issues behind closed doors."

The old lady softened her tone for once and glanced at everyone with a smile.

"There are still many brothers and sisters in our house who have not yet talked about marriage. If the quarrel spreads, it may be difficult for them to get married in the future." She personally stepped forward and stroked Shen Nanqiao's hand affectionately. "Although you are young, you are a grandmother in terms of seniority. You should think more about the children."

This move, combining cutting and hitting, managed to defeat Shen Nanqiao without making a sound.

There are many unmarried young masters and young ladies in the mansion. If Shen Nanqiao insists on his actions, he will be putting himself in opposition to all the other branches and courtyards.

She looked at Shen Nanqiao who was silent, and smiled again.

"You are young and ignorant, so it is inevitable that you will get angry for a while." He leaned close to Shen Nanqiao's ear and said, "You don't feel the emptiness of your family now, but if you have a child in the future, you should always think about them."

Before Shen Nanqiao could open his mouth, he was pulled out from the old lady's grip.

"She can do whatever she wants. I have no such worries."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the other people in the room all turned ugly.

Ning Su is alone, and if he is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry. However, many people in these families are still waiting to take advantage of the old lady's birthday banquet to find partners for their children!

The second wife, Mrs. Zhou, has always been good at dealing with people. She has a young son who is both good-looking and well-educated, and she is trying her best to marry into a wealthy family.

She has always been dissatisfied with the fact that the wife of Marquis Pingyuan is in charge. She was originally just watching the fun from the sidelines, but now that her own interests are involved, she has to stand up.

"Little aunt, calm down. This matter is originally the fault of the eldest sister-in-law. I told you that the young uncle is not married yet, and it is unnecessary to let someone in the house. What will the new daughter-in-law think? The eldest sister-in-law also means well but does bad things." She squinted at the two people on the ground, "In the final analysis, it's all because of these two girls who are greedy and empty-hearted."

Cui Yu and the other two were choked by what she said, but they didn't know how to refute.

The wife of Pingyuan Hou no longer cared about her face and immediately took advantage of the situation.

"Yes, I meant well. I hope you will take my kindness into consideration and not take it too seriously."

"Do I care?" Shen Nanqiao opened her eyes wide. She was born innocent, and now she looked even more wronged. "A three-year-old child knows that he should apologize when he does something wrong. If the Marquis' wife doesn't even want to do this, then there is nothing I can do."

She suppressed the smile that was intended to save face.

"The Queen Mother asked me to come to the palace and spend more time there these past two days, so I just talked about it as a small talk to help her relieve her boredom."

This was a blatant threat. The old lady's face turned pale, but she could do nothing about it.

Even Pingyuan Hou was at a loss.

"Aunt, you should think twice before you act. After all, you can't write two Ning characters with one stroke. If you do this, I'm afraid even uncle won't look good."

"My husband has been splashed with dirty water. Isn't this a bad look on his face?" Shen Nanqiao sneered, "It's a good thing he was alert today. If he was lazy and let the two of them succeed, I'm afraid a bastard would be born in a few days."

The wife of Marquis Pingyuan became anxious.

"It's not that easy to give birth!"

"Why is it difficult? I heard that none of the concubines before the prince got pregnant. But my concubine sister and I used some medicine, and it worked in one go." She smiled meaningfully, "Did Madam Hou get inspired by this?"

The Marquis's wife was very protective of her children, and she became anxious when she heard this.

"How can it be the same? Yu'er is intact."

When she said this, she suddenly realized that she had already been heard by Shen Nanqiao, and her face darkened.

"What do you mean? Who is not whole and sound, sir?"

Pingyuan Hou was choked by these words and his face turned purple, but he could not refute it. He could only glare at his wife.

The wife of Marquis Pingyuan complained inwardly, secretly hating herself for being too impetuous today and being provoked by Shen Nanqiao to reveal her flaws repeatedly.

She knew that if she continued like this she would only say more and make more mistakes.

"Killing is not the right thing to do. I was wrong in the first place. I hope that my aunt will only target me and not bury the reputation of the whole mansion with me."

Zhou was born with a mouth that was good at speaking, and she interrupted when she heard this.

"I think it's better to do this. Anyway, the eldest sister-in-law is ready to hand over the housekeeping power, so why not let the young aunt take over the housekeeping power after working harder."

In this way, Shen Nanqiao would not be able to ruin his reputation at the birthday party he hosted.

The old lady also thought it was feasible, so she nodded.

"It just so happens that the seventh son's wife also said that she wanted to gain some experience, so why not start with this birthday banquet?" Then he said to the Marquis' wife, "You will hand over the key to your aunt today."

The Marquis' wife had never expected that the old lady would actually hand over power to Shen Nanqiao. If she regretted it now, it would be too late to back down, so she had to hand over the things reluctantly.

Shen Nanqiao didn't hesitate and took it.

"It would be disrespectful to refuse." She smiled gently, "It is said that a new official starts with three things, so let's start with these two girls."
