Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Shen Nanqiao was not surprised by the old lady's summons.

Her 70th birthday is approaching, and both public and private matters need to be taken care of now.

Birthday banquets for elders in wealthy families are often places for socializing.

Three parts of it are for birthday celebrations, but seven parts are for socializing.

It is rare for a person to live to be seventy, so this 70th birthday must be celebrated with great fanfare.

Originally, with the Marquis's wife taking care of things, Old Lady Ning didn't have to worry about anything.

The Marquis's wife has been in charge of the household for many years and can handle all the routines of weddings and funerals in the capital's circles, as well as arrangements for relatives and family members to come to celebrate birthdays.

But at this juncture, she took a step back and handed over her power as housekeeper.

There is indeed a certainty that he is biased towards the old lady, but more importantly, he wants to see Shen Nanqiao make a fool of himself.

"I heard that the Marquis' wife has completely given up on her duties these past two days. She hasn't taken care of anything. The household affairs are in a mess right now. I'm afraid it's up to you to clean up the mess."

On the way to Fushoutang, Nanny Liu reported the situation to Shen Nanqiao slowly and leisurely.

Shen Nanqiao didn't stop and chuckled.

"This is where she is not smart enough." She turned her head to look at Aunt Liu. "Such a big mansion has become a mess just because the mistress disappeared for two days. It shows that she usually employs people improperly. Isn't this giving people a handle?"

Nanny Liu nodded secretly.

Then Shen Nanqiao said again.

"And as for the matter of trying to trip me up, let's take a step back and assume that she succeeds and I mess up the birthday party, who do you think will be embarrassed?

Madam Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course it's the Marquis Pingyuan and his wife. After all, he is the head of the Marquis's mansion."

Shen Nanqiao nodded.

"I am a new daughter-in-law who has never managed a household before, but she is an experienced mistress. If she dumps such a big thing on me at the last minute, outsiders will only say that she is an ignorant daughter-in-law and ruined the old lady's birthday banquet."

Nanny Liu nodded thoughtfully.

"So the old lady asked you to come over to discuss countermeasures?"

Shen Nanqiao waved his hand.

"If I can understand this, how could the old lady not know it? I guess the Marquis' wife must have some new tricks up her sleeve, and she wants to embarrass me through the old lady's mouth."

Nanny Liu was quite puzzled.

"She's already certain that you'll mess it up, so why would she do anything else?"

Shen Nanqiao's eyes fell on the upper room of Fu Shou Tang not far away. It had green tiles and white walls, but it seemed like an endless black hole that had tried to trap her life in her previous life.

"She has been doing well in the Ning family for many years, so she naturally doesn't want to be overthrown by a new daughter-in-law like me, so she must think of a way." Shen Nanqiao retracted his gaze, "For example, get her people in."

Nanny Liu listened attentively and pondered for a moment.

"Of course the old lady knows about those well-known housekeepers, so the only thing she can show off is..."

Shen Nanqiao sneered slightly.

"I hope I am wrong."

The master and servant walked to Fushou Hall. The maid who was swept the courtyard was still the one who was rewarded with Saihong. This time she came forward with great tact.

While bowing, he whispered.

"Madam Hou is inside with Concubine Shen."

This confirmed the previous guess of the master and servant.

Shen Nanqiao walked straight forward with a slight smile on his face.

The maid in the old lady's room came out quickly and raised the cotton curtain high.

The old lady was seen leaning casually on the head of the bed, half of her face hidden in the gauze curtain, and Madam Hou and Shen Jingyi beside her stood up immediately.

This was the first time Shen Nanqiao had seen this concubine sister since the last time she returned to the Shen Mansion.

She was thinner, and there was visible dark circles under her eyes, but her expression was still arrogant.

When she saw Shen Nanqiao, she reluctantly followed the Marquis's wife in paying her respects, which was far from being a noble lady's standard.

Shen Nanqiao was too lazy to argue with her today, so he just chatted with Aunt Liu.

"I think Madam Shen has not made much progress in her manners. When Madam is free someday, she should give her some pointers, so that she won't lose face for the Marquisate when she goes out."

Shen Jingyi's face showed genuine fear, and she subconsciously looked towards the Marquis's wife, wanting to seek shelter.

The Marquis's wife winked at her, signaling Shen Jingyi to be patient.

The intention of bringing her here today is clear. The position of the Crown Prince's wife is vacant, and the only one they can offer is this concubine.

"Mrs. Shen is pregnant. If the baby is a boy, the Marquis wants to see if he can be made Yu'er's principal wife."

The old lady paused slightly when she heard this. The Crown Prince's wife would take over the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion in the future, so she subconsciously looked at Shen Jingyi.

She doesn't know how to stand or sit properly. As Shen Nanqiao just said, if she enters the palace in this state, it will be a disgrace to the Ning family.

As mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been in a relationship for many years, the old lady knows very well that the Marquis's wife is not someone who can abandon the concept of legitimate and illegitimate children, and she must have a back-up plan for this action.

So he just said "hmm" lightly and didn't say anything more.

The Marquis's wife felt a little bored, so she could only speak again on her own.

"The Marquis has already discussed this with the Shen family, saying that Jingyi can be registered under the name of the late lady, making her a legitimate daughter, so that her status will be more suitable."

Shen Nanqiao was shocked.

How dare they set their sights on her deceased mother!

Mrs. Shen had always had a distant relationship with Shen Mingde during her lifetime. Ever since Shen Nanqiao could remember, the two of them seemed to be at odds with each other.

But after his mother passed away, Minister Shen never remarried, and even did not make his beloved concubine his legal wife.

So just for this reason, Shen Nanqiao originally thought that he still had feelings for his mother.

But just at that moment, the Marquis's wife actually said that she wanted to register Shen Jingyi as her deceased mother's legitimate daughter.

She clenched her fists in her armholes.

The Marquis's wife seemed to see through her anger and smiled deliberately.

"What do you think, little aunt? You will be sisters from now on."

Shen Nanqiao turned his eyes away and smiled.

"Madam Hou, what you said is really unreasonable. If the Marquis wants to register the child of the concubine under your name, does he need to ask the eldest son for his opinion?"

"You!" The Marquis's wife was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up, but then she realized that they were in the old lady's room and it was not appropriate to act rashly.

Shen Nanqiao was still as calm as usual, and continued in a gentle and graceful manner.

"Did I say something wrong?"

The old lady knew that when it came to verbal battles, the Marquis's wife was no match.

Besides, she was the one who was not kind in the first place. She had to use someone else's deceased mother as an excuse for no reason.

Thinking of this, she cleared her throat and gave the Marquis's wife a way out.

"Just tell me what you're going to do, okay?"

The marquis's wife quickly turned around and smiled.

"My daughter-in-law thought that if Jingyi is really promoted, she should be familiar with the housework in advance." She glanced at Shen Nanqiao, "Isn't the young aunt going to organize a birthday banquet? It's a good opportunity for her to learn from her."

The old lady hesitated.

The important task of being the head of the family will eventually be handed over to Pingyuan Hou's family, but Shen Jingyi is really not to her liking.

However, she didn't want to do anything that would offend others, so she pushed the conversation to Shen Nanqiao.

"What does the seventh daughter-in-law mean?"

Shen Nanqiao smiled and shook his head.

"The old lady is in charge. I am just here to learn from her. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to make the decision on the affairs of the Marquis's room, right?"

Who doesn’t know how to practice Tai Chi?

The Marquis's wife took the opportunity to speak up immediately.

"How can you say it's our family's business? Jingyi is your sister, and she's going to be registered under your mother's name, so it's your aunt's family business, right?" She seemed dissatisfied, "If we follow the seniority of your mother's family, you still have to call Yu'er brother-in-law."

Shen Jingyi finally found a place to interject.

"According to what mother said, should Jiu Qian Sui also call me brother-in-law?"

The Marquis's wife had never expected that Shen Jingyi would be so stupid as to associate with Ning Su. Just as she was about to scold her, she heard a clear young voice coming from outside.

"Who do you want Otomo to call brother-in-law? Say it again?"
