Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 67 Can She Be As Pretty As Me?
Shen Nanqiao didn't know how he sent Ning Su out the door.
Her mind was filled with the words: There is indeed someone in my heart.
Women often have a very strange attitude towards girls that men once liked.
Before you are sure, try your best to verify it.
But once it was confirmed, I felt extremely uncomfortable again.
As long as Ning Su didn't say anything, she could use those rumors as a tool to discredit him.
But he admitted it himself!
He is a man of his word, so if he says something, it must be true.
To be fair, she was not that afraid of the Ninth Princess. She had once discussed marriage with that bastard Ning Ziyu.
Who doesn’t have a youthful and frivolous past?
But he said he had someone else in his heart, which is another matter.
Shen Nanqiao claimed that she was invincible after her rebirth, but at that moment, she suddenly didn't dare to ask who that girl was.
Is she prettier than her? More gentle than her? Or more prominent than her family background, and can provide support?
It seemed that after this layer was revealed, he no longer had the confidence or chance of winning.
She returned to her bedroom in a daze, and Linglong came out to greet her. She was also surprised to see her like this.
"It's just a dough figurine. At worst, I can go out and make another one for you."
Shen Nanqiao suddenly woke up from his dream, thinking that he had actually forgotten about this.
Then the embarrassment became more and more obvious. If it were just the two of them, it wouldn't be a problem for him to see through her thoughts.
But now, suddenly there is an inexplicable former lover standing between the two of them, and no matter how he thinks about it, he feels uncomfortable.
She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her personal maid.
"Linglong, tell me the truth, what do I look like?"
Linglong was completely dumbfounded this time, but everyone in the capital knew that her young lady was the most beautiful among all the girls.
Do you still need to ask about something that is obvious to you?
She considered it over and over again, then spoke carefully.
"Miss, if you want me to praise you, you can just say it."
Shen Nanqiao touched her face and felt that she was not inferior to others in appearance.
Forget it, the past cannot be changed, but the future can still be pursued.
A rational wife would not hold on to trivial matters. She encouraged herself in her heart.
But she couldn't help but wonder, if Ning Su really loved her in his previous life, when did it start?
There has to be an opportunity, right?
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Linglong didn't want to disturb her, so she just waited on her silently.
Shen Nanqiao was in a daze for half the whole afternoon. The nanny in the old lady's room had come to ask for him several times. Finally, she just said directly that she wanted to explain the annual ancestor worship.
This is a big deal, and it would be inappropriate to shirk responsibility any further.
Shen Nanqiao changed into a casual silver floral top, paired it with a light green python skirt with gold embroidered patterns, wrapped herself in a cloak, and went to the old lady's Fu Shou Tang with Linglong and Amber.
The girl who had benefited from her happened to be on duty. When she saw Shen Nanqiao, she immediately stepped forward and bowed, and spoke in a low voice while the curtain was opened.
"My aunt is here with my cousin."
Shen Nanqiao moved aside, nodded slightly, and went in the next moment.
There was an old lady in her sixties sitting at the upper seat. She was wearing a jacket with a peacock pattern and a pair of gold pendants inlaid with yellow tourmalines on her ears.
Shen Nanqiao recognized the other person at a glance. This was the old lady’s biological sister, who was married to the founding father of the Su family.
The founding earl had saved the previous emperor's life, so not only was he given a fiefdom, but his descendants were also given protection.
However, no matter how much he was rewarded, the founding earl was only a marquis of the fourth rank.
But the old lady's attire was quite interesting. The dark satin with peacock pattern was an ornament for a third-rank imperial official, which was obviously beyond the rules.
When the old lady saw Shen Nanqiao, she immediately smiled warmly and asked about his well-being.
"You must be exhausted from hosting the birthday banquet yesterday. Come and sit over here." After saying that, he turned around and told the nanny, "Ask the kitchen to make some cordyceps and bird's nest for Madam Seven to replenish her qi and blood."
Shen Nanqiao was certainly not stupid enough to offend the old lady in front of outsiders, so she went over and sat down below the two of them.
The wife of the founding earl then looked her up and down and sneered.
"Is this the new wife that the seventh brother married? I heard that she was originally going to marry Ziyu?"
The old lady cleared her throat awkwardly and introduced herself to Shen Nanqiao.
"This is my third aunt. She came to Beijing specially to celebrate my birthday. She was delayed on the way and arrived today."
The curve at the corners of Shen Nanqiao's lips remained well-maintained, and he nodded slightly without saying anything.
"It means it didn't happen. If it didn't happen, then it's nothing. So why bring it up?"
The wife of the founding earl had never been confronted like this before, and her face sank immediately.
The old lady seemed not to see it and waved towards the inner room with a smile.
"Wan'er, come out and greet your great aunt."
But a young girl came out from the inner room, as graceful as a willow tree swaying in the gentle wind, and timidly bowed to the front.
"Hello, great aunt."
The smile on Shen Nanqiao's face suddenly widened: the highlight is coming.
In her previous life, Su Wan'er also arrived at the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion around the time of the old lady's birthday banquet. At that time, she was being suppressed by Shen Jingyi and had no time to care about her.
But later I heard that she and Ning Ziyu had some dishonorable things going on, and Shen Jingyi threatened her with her unborn child.
But she is the granddaughter of the founding father of the country, not a soft persimmon that can be bullied at will.
There was a huge quarrel at the time, and later Su Wan'er broke her leg for some unknown reason, so the marriage was finally called off.
Now that I think about it, Shen Jingyi might have contributed to this.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. When Ning Ziyu and his wife came in, the dark circles under Shen Jingyi's eyes became more and more dark. She glanced at Shen Nanqiao and stood quietly aside.
Ning Ziyu's gaze lingered on Shen Nanqiao for a moment, revealing his sincere admiration.
This girl has become more and more radiant since she got married, and her beauty makes him itchy.
He remembered what Minister Shen had asked him that day: if Shen Nanqiao was still willing to come back, what should he do?
Of course, I would marry her and enjoy the happiness of having two wives!
Shen Nanqiao didn't know the dirty thoughts in his heart, but he also realized that the gaze was quite disgusting, and he sneered in his heart.
She took off a pair of jade bracelets from her wrists.
"I didn't know that the old lady had guests here, and I didn't prepare any gifts. Take these bracelets and play with them."
Su Wan'er's eyes lit up. She could tell at a glance that the bracelet was worth a lot of money. She didn't expect that her great aunt was so generous.
"Thank you, great-aunt."
Su Wan'er put the bracelet on her wrist, turned to look at Ning Ziyu, and waved her hand.
"Cousin, does it look good?"
Shen Jingyi, who had been keeping her head down and pretending to be well-behaved, suddenly looked up and saw Ning Ziyu smiling warmly.
"You have fair skin, and this jade bracelet suits you best."
The old lady of the founding father laughed.
"They loved playing together when they were young, and even after not seeing each other for several years, their relationship is still so good."
The wife of Pingyuan Marquis interjected.
"That's right. Girls change a lot when they grow up. Look at Wan'er's appearance and figure. I think there are few noble ladies in the capital who can compare to her."
This is obviously an exaggeration.
Su Wan'er is indeed pretty, but she is still far from being the most beautiful woman among all the girls.
However, Mrs. Hou's words of praise were not just casual remarks. She looked at Su Wan'er intently.
"Can you give it to them?"
Shen Jingyi frowned. Even if she was not very worldly-wise, she knew that these words were not groundless.
Now that I'm the scapegoat, I'm afraid I'll have to rush to find a stepmother for the baby in her belly, right?
Shen Nanqiao looked at her expression coldly, and in his heart he couldn't help but laugh at the changing fortunes.
Just listen to the old lady laugh.
"This time I went to the capital to celebrate my birthday and to find someone. I heard that the seventh daughter-in-law of our family is selecting a concubine for the prince. It's just right."
Shen Jingyi felt relieved after hearing this and quickly stood up to join in.
"What the old lady said is absolutely right. I think Sister Wan'er is both virtuous and talented, and she is both beautiful and talented. She is a perfect match for the prince."
The old lady of the founding earl did have this intention when she came to the capital this time. Originally, Ning Ziyu was also a backup candidate, but when she thought about having to become a stepmother after her own granddaughter came into the family, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Now that there is the option of the crown prince, it would naturally be best to marry into a higher position.
But she didn't think much of Shen Nanqiao and just glanced at him briefly.
"Letting a newly married daughter-in-law choose a concubine for the crown prince? That's quite new."
Shen Nanqiao smiled without getting angry or annoyed.
"The old lady must have lived in the capital for a long time, rarely going out. It must have been more than ten years since she last visited the capital. It's understandable that she doesn't know the rules of the capital."

Shen Nanqiao: Everyone knows yin and yang. If I’m not afraid of her sudden death or accidental accident, I can puncture her lungs.
