Remarry 9,000 Years Old

There was obvious fondness in these words.

For a moment, Shen Nanqiao wanted to ask him if he liked her.

In his previous life, after Ning Su rescued Shen Nanqiao, he also placed her in Song Changxuan, but at that time she was still Ning Ziyu's nominal wife.

Ning Su seldom came back to avoid suspicion, and during the few times he did come back, he tried to keep it under the eyes of everyone as much as possible.

Later, she became seriously ill with poison. To prevent her from becoming depressed, Ning Su came back more often. However, most of the time, he just told her some palace secrets to entertain her.

So if Shen Nanqiao hadn't heard his mumblings before she died, she would never have thought that Ning Su actually had different thoughts about her.

When did it start?

Her eyes lingered on his face.

Everyone said that Ning Su was a treacherous and scheming person, but Shen Nanqiao felt that he was more like indifferent.

It was as if there was nothing in the world worth his concern.

It is precisely because of this that his unclear feelings towards himself make people even more curious.

Shen Nanqiao is not a person who belittles herself, but what qualifications does she have? That's Ning Su!

Neither of them spoke. The room was so quiet that you could hear each other's breathing.

Shen Nanqiao slowly approached. The little girl's eyes were clear and she didn't seem to be shy or embarrassed at all.

But Ning Su felt that the atmosphere suddenly became a little ambiguous.

The two were so close that he could even smell the faint fragrance coming from her.

He has also been involved in many brothels over the years, and the largest red-light district in the capital is actually owned by him.

But when the girl's face was close to him, he suddenly felt a rare sense of helplessness.

The two looked at each other, neither of them showing any intention of avoiding her. Ning Su decided to see what she was going to do.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to speak.

"are you……"

The red lips opened and closed under his eyes, and the mind of the usually calm and self-controlled Lord Governor went blank for a moment, and he didn't even react to dodge.

What does she want to ask?

"Do you... owe me money?"

Ning Su's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his heart tightened slightly.

"What did you...think of?"

The little girl was not very good at hiding her thoughts, and when she was in front of him, her likes and dislikes were all written on her face.

But because of his concern, he was not sure whether this girl remembered something.

The bag of gold and silver dumplings that he had used as talisman flashed before his eyes.

Did she recognize herself?

Just as I was holding my breath and preparing to listen to what was to come, I heard Shen Nanqiao say again.

"If you didn't owe me money, why would you be so nice to me for no reason?"

At this moment, the bubble of hope shattered.

He clenched his hands, which were originally about to be put behind his back, just enough to hold back Shen Nanqiao who was still trying to get close to him, and almost gritted out a few words through his back teeth.

"Just think of it as something you owed me in your previous life."

Shen Nanqiao half-knelt at the other end of the round table and breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.

When she asked that question, her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of her throat.

When that pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes looked into hers, the cowardice hidden deep in her bones suddenly surged up.

So the words that came to my lips became: Do you owe me money?

Shen Nanqiao felt upset and felt that he had missed the best opportunity.

That day in the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager's words followed him like a curse.

Ningsu once had a girl who was engaged to be married. How credible is this statement?

But judging from the emperor and empress's reactions that day, it might not be groundless.

There is a huge age gap between him and me, and we were engaged before, so he definitely wasn't talking about me.

When I thought about the possibility that there might have been other important women in Ning Su's life, a sense of bitterness began to spread.

She was reborn to repay her gratitude, but if Ning Su already had Bai Yueguang in his heart, her actions would seem unnecessary.

If that was the case, then she was probably causing trouble for others.

There was too much information coming together at once, and Shen Nanqiao was a little unsure.

So at that moment just now, she almost asked it.

Unfortunately, the opportunity is fleeting.

Ning Su had no idea why he responded to that sentence for some unknown reason, nor did he know where the inexplicable expectation in his heart came from.

"If this Governor owes you money, it's probably a lot."

He sneered back.

Shen Nanqiao came to his senses and suddenly realized that the two of them were almost touching each other, and he felt a little panicked.

As he was about to retreat, he forgot that he was kneeling on the chair.

At that moment, the person and the chair fell backwards, but fortunately Ning Su was faster than her and reached out to grab the person.

"It's the second time." He spoke vaguely, "Even if I really owed you money in my previous life, it's time to pay it back now."

"It was clearly me who owed you in my last life." Shen Nanqiao muttered softly, and barely stood up with the support of his hand.

The candlelight sprinkled on the side of his face, casting a light shadow, softening his cold temperament by a third.

Shen Nanqiao wanted to look away, but his sight seemed to be glued.

Ning Su knew that she liked to look at beautiful women, and while he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he also felt like teasing her.

"Is it because I was born so beautiful that I can keep an eye on you?"

It was originally a joke, but Shen Nanqiao nodded slightly embarrassedly.

"It does look good."

He was indeed handsome. Among all the men she had ever met since she was a child, Ning Su should be the most outstanding one.

"I also came to Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion when I was a child, how come I have never seen you once?"

She just casually asked the question in her mind, but she saw Ning Su's face darken slightly.

Shen Nanqiao's heart sank. He thought that he probably had a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion before, so he didn't want to mention that past.

While secretly annoyed at himself for bringing up something irrelevant, he quickly changed the subject.

"Actually, I don't come here that often." She racked her brains to think of a solution. "By the way, the night market along the river in the back alley of Shangshu Mansion is pretty good. How about I invite you to go shopping there someday?"

The change of topic was too abrupt, even Shen Nanqiao himself felt it was deliberate.

Just when the atmosphere between the two was delicate, a clear and melodious young voice came from outside the door.

"Master, Minister Shen requests to see you."

Shen Nanqiao pulled himself out of the awkward atmosphere.

Her father had never had much of a relationship with her, so it was not like he came here just to see her.

Shen Jingyi suffered a great humiliation the day before yesterday. A shrewd person like Minister Shen would never come up to her at this critical juncture, so of course he didn't go to see her, right?

So what's the purpose of coming here at this time?

Ning Su's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he slowly and calmly straightened Shen Nanqiao's body.

"Stand steady and don't fall." After saying that, he gathered his sleeves and was about to walk out.

Shen Nanqiao didn't know where he got the courage from, but he grabbed his sleeve.

"Let me go."

The couple stared at each other, and Ning Su suddenly smiled.

Even when good-looking people make casual movements, their beauty seems almost deliberate.

"Do you know why he came?"

Shen Nanqiao had no way of knowing, but it was probably just the incident when he returned home a few days ago.

"He's afraid you'll file a complaint against him, so he's here to try to get some connections?"

Ning Su raised his eyebrows. The little girl knew her ignorant father very well.

"Yesterday, the Imperial Censor impeached Minister Shen for not managing his household properly and for allowing his concubines to oppress his legitimate daughter. The memorial was submitted, and the Saint was not pleased."

Just this one sentence confirmed Shen Nanqiao's thoughts.

Minister Shen suffered a loss in the court, so naturally he had to find a way to make up for it.

He has been immersed in the court for many years and is well versed in the twists and turns of officialdom.

The Ministry of Rites has a sensitive position, so either they do nothing, or if they do, they have to hit the weak spot.

This Ning Su is his lover.

Last time, Shen Nanqiao wanted to take the opportunity to bring his biological father under Ning Su's command, so now is naturally a great opportunity.

"Let me handle it. I have a way to make him change sides today."

But Ning Su ignored her solemn promise.

"Didn't you say you wanted to invite me?"

Shen Nanqiao was stunned by the question, and it took him a moment to realize that he was talking about the sentence about the night market just now.

Then Ning Su said again.

"It's better to do it today than today."
