Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Shen Mingde turned around and saw Ning Su and Shen Nanqiao walking towards him side by side.

He draped his cloak over his daughter, who was only wearing her official uniform with gold trim, as if to remind himself not to act rashly.

Shen Mingde suppressed his shame and took two steps forward on his knees.

"Qiao Qiao, Dad is here to apologize."

Shen Nanqiao's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly concealed it.

She has been staying in the mansion these days and is unaware of the changes in the court.

In my previous life, I only thought that this father was partial, but I didn't expect that he was such a spineless person.

It is unheard of that a father kneels down to his daughter.

Ning Su took half a step forward and stood sideways to block Shen Nanqiao.

"Didn't the Emperor ask Minister Shen to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors? Why? Did he close the door to my mansion?"

Shen Mingde ignored his ridicule and hurriedly explained to Shen Nanqiao.

"Dad knows that I have neglected to care for you these years, but we are father and daughter, and there is no overnight hatred. Don't worry, your father has decided to clean up the inner house." He glanced at Aunt Xu and said, "Look, I have also brought Aunt here to apologize to you."

Shen Nanqiao stood there without saying a word.

The atmosphere grew a little cold, and Shen Mingde finally had the chance to take a closer look at his daughter.

She seemed to be much taller than I remembered. The little girl who looked like a pink ball in the past had grown into a graceful young lady.

He felt as if he hadn't seen Shen Nanqiao for many years and felt a stranger to him.

A flash of guilt passed through my mind, but was quickly replaced by a strong desire to survive.

"Say something, you can ask me anything you want." He glanced at the cold-faced evil spirit beside him, not daring to act rashly, so he turned to Shen Nanqiao, "We are all family, why do you have to kill us all?"

Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but sneer.

This is her biological father. Even at this moment, he still feels that the tragedy of the Shen family today was caused by someone else.

"Dad is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Doesn't he know that favoring a concubine over the legitimate heir is a taboo?"

When Shen Mingde heard this, the resentment in his heart surged up.

"You have never been short of food or drink in the mansion over the years. They always say that concubines are favored and the legitimate wife is abandoned, but have you ever suffered any loss?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Shen also followed suit.

"Yes, Second Miss, you should be conscientious. On your wedding day, you took the dowry I gave to your sister for yourself, and your aunt didn't say anything, right? We are all family, why bother?"

This is simply far-fetched talk.

Shen Nanqiao smiled.

"I'm giving away my fiancée who I've been engaged to for ten years. Isn't that generous? I didn't hold it against her."

Aunt Xu was choked and couldn't move, so she had to speak with a shameless face.

"Isn't the second young lady married well? A blessing in disguise."

Ning Su, who had been silent on the side, sneered when he heard this.

"No wonder Shen Jingyi dared to insult the saint and slander the prince. It turns out that she is rotten to the core."

These words quickly brought Shen Ming back to reality, and he remembered that he came to beg for mercy.

"The crime of disrespect can be big or small. If the emperor insists on pursuing it, it is not impossible that the whole family will be in trouble." Shen Mingde stared at Shen Nanqiao earnestly, "Don't forget, your last name is Shen too."

Shen Nanqiao glanced at his father who was still threatening him openly and covertly, and said indifferently.

"You have indulged Auntie and Shen Jingyi over the years, which led to today's disaster. You only think of asking me for help after you are in trouble. I am not her parent."

Minister Shen's face turned pale.

"You two are sisters, aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

Aunt Xu knelt down and crawled over, trying to reach out and grab Shen Nanqiao's sleeve, but Ning Su used his skillful strength to pull her into his arms.

Aunt Xu's hand hit nothing.

"Shen Jingyi is Shen Jingyi, she is who she is. Even if the Saint is really furious, this Governor has a way to keep her safe." He looked at the two of them as if they were ants, "As for your family, you can only wish for the best."

Having said that, he put his arm around Shen Nanqiao and walked inside.

Shen Mingde looked at his daughter in disbelief as she didn't even turn her head back. He didn't know where he got the courage from, but he stood up instantly and rushed over to stand in front of the two of them.

"They say that women look outwardly, but you just watch your husband trample your own father under his feet?" He stared at Shen Nanqiao's face, "I haven't remarried in all these years since your mother passed away. Isn't it because I'm afraid that your stepmother will treat you badly? I didn't expect that in the end I would be accused of favoring a concubine and destroying the legitimate wife. I shouldn't have cared about you in the first place!"

Shen Nanqiao bit her lower lip. Once upon a time, she had imagined that her father loved her mother and also loved her and her siblings.

"Did father not remarry because he was afraid that my stepmother would be unkind? If that's the case, why haven't you taken good care of us siblings over the years?"

Shen Mingde stammered.

"My father is busy with government affairs."

Shen Nanqiao couldn't help but turned his head away and smiled.

"Busy with the affairs of the court? Yet you can always be by Shen Jingyi's side. Ask yourself, have you ever treated her equally? In comparison, she is the only one in the mansion who looks like your biological child. Shen Hong and I are like adopted children!"

There was a flash of embarrassment on Shen Mingde's face, so quick that it was hard to catch.

Ning Su caught it, and he frowned without saying a word.

Shen Nanqiao tugged at his sleeve and lowered his voice.

"It's cold outside and you're not wearing a cape. Go inside first. I can handle it here."

Ning Su originally wanted to send the man away for her, but after thinking that it was a family matter and should be let her solve it herself, he nodded.

"If you need anything, call me."

He looked at Shen Mingde meaningfully again, then turned and left.

Seeing the plague god leave, Shen Mingde became more confident.

"Men work outside and women work inside. Without a mistress at home, it's inevitable that we'll lose sight of one thing while taking care of the other." He straightened his back. "You siblings are being taken care of by the old lady, so naturally I favor Jingyi more."

Shen Nanqiao thought that after so many years, he would no longer have any emotional fluctuations.

But when her father showed a righteous look in front of her, she couldn't help but sneer.

"In that case, there's no need for father to beg me. You naturally favor her more, so you should clean up her mess for her."

Shen Mingde also became anxious.

"Are you going to sever ties with the Shen family?"

Shen Nanqiao remained silent.

Shen Mingde thought he had his daughter under control and snorted.

"Any married woman has to rely on her parents' family. If the Shen family falls, you will not have a good life in the future."
