Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

"Amitabha!"

Hearing this, He, who had never believed in Buddhism, couldn't help but recite a Buddhist name.

"The prince's illness has been cured, thanks to the Buddha's blessing. Wan'er, you have finally come to an end after all the hardship you have endured. As his mother, I can finally rest assured!"

Her face was full of joy, and she was genuinely happy for Shen Pingwan.

When their daughter wanted to remarry, she and her husband were unwilling to agree because they were afraid that Prince Qi's illness would not be cured and would ruin their daughter's life.

Fortunately, God was merciful and Prince Qi recovered from his illness.

My daughter will be able to firmly sit on the position of the Crown Prince's wife in the future. When the Crown Prince inherits the title, she will even be able to become the Marquise and the mistress of the Marquisate who manages the entire family.

At this moment, Mrs. He deeply felt that her daughter was truly far-sighted.

If she had not remarried, Shen Nankui would be the one enjoying the good life now, while her own flesh and blood would have to marry into the Gu family in the countryside.

Thinking of this, He hurriedly shook his head.

Such a great blessing, of course, is only worthy of my daughter!

Compared to the happy look on her face, there was some hesitation in Shen Pingwan's eyes. Her gaze sank slightly and she glanced at Shen Nankui unconsciously, as if she had many questions, but she did not speak.

He also noticed her silence and asked with concern: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you? Did you get angry in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Shen Pingwan first shook her head, then nodded.

He was anxious, "What happened?"

Shen Pingwan sighed, "Mother, everything about the Marquis' Mansion is good, but the rules are too strict, which always makes people feel constrained."

He pulled her into his arms and hugged her with concern.

She said, "Wan'er, the family of the Lord is different from ordinary people. Mother knows that you don't like that Nanny Sun, but your mother-in-law did this to train you to be a talent so that you can inherit the Marquis's Mansion in the future. Otherwise, do you think that the Qi family's huge family business can be easily managed?"

"Too!"

Shen Pingwan turned his worry into joy, raised his head from He's arms, and pointed at the hairpin on his head to show her.

"Mother, this gold-threaded and ruby-studded double-phoenix hairpin was specially picked out for me by my mother-in-law from her dowry because she knew I was coming back today. Does it look good?"

He smiled and nodded, "It's beautiful. I've never seen a ruby ​​of such good quality!"

Shen Pingwan looked very proud, "Mother, you are right. Now that the prince is well, I have hope. What's the point of a hairpin? Everything in the Jianning Marquis's Mansion will be mine in the future!"

There was also a hint of joy on He's face as she glared at her with a smile.

"You should stop saying this in the future. The most important thing for you now is to win the heart of the prince and serve your parents-in-law well."

"I know."

The mother and daughter were talking happily and forgot about Shen Nankui.

However, Shen Nankui had been accustomed to such scenes in his two lives, and he no longer felt anything was wrong. He just drank his tea quietly.

It took a long time for He to notice her.

Thinking that she still had to do her best to save face, she asked casually, "Nan Kui, you've been married for so long, and today is your first time back. Tell mother how you're doing in the Gu family?"

Shen Nankui put down the teacup and said, "Thank you for your concern, mother. Everything is fine in the Gu family."

"That's fine."

He had no intention of asking further questions.

After all, when Shen Nankui got married, not only did they not give her any dowry, they also did not let her take anything away from the Shen family except a few boxes of books and some clothes.

Her life would definitely not be easy if she went to the Gu family.

If Shen Nankui complained to her at her parents' home today, she would be too lazy to respond.

Fortunately, Shen Nankui was sensible and did not say those tactless words. Thinking about the mother-daughter relationship over the years, He was quite satisfied with her.

Shen Pingwan smiled.

"Shen Nankui, you have some self-awareness. You didn't tell my mother about those bad things. However, even if you told her, the Shen family would not help you. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out, especially since you are a fake. There is no need for the Shen family to care about you! Remember?"

In the previous life, Shen Pingwan had just returned to the Shen family and their identities were clarified. When Shen Nankui first felt this gap, he felt very uncomfortable.

But later, after experiencing a lot, she put herself in the right position and no longer felt any waves in her heart.

Especially after living two lives, she has already seen too many things in the world.

She didn't take this little bit of verbal provocation to heart.

Shen Nankui smiled and nodded, "I will definitely keep my sister's words in mind."

Shen Pingwan felt like she had punched cotton. She hated Shen Nankui's non-competitive attitude the most, as if he didn't care about anything.

The corners of her mouth curled up with sarcasm, and she said to He: "Mother, you don't know yet, the day she arrived at the Gu family, she was stopped outside, and old lady Gu even said she wanted to divorce her. I don't know how she made them hate her so much. If she was divorced before she even entered the house, wouldn't it bring shame to the Shen family?"

He really didn't know this, and now when she heard it, she couldn't help but be surprised.

However, it was not because he was concerned about Shen Nankui, but as Shen Pingwan said, he was worried about losing face for the Shen family.

She said with an unhappy look on her face: "Nan Kui, why didn't you tell your family about such a big thing? Gu Yichuan is really something. He said one thing to our faces but secretly slapped the Shen family in the face. Your father's cultivation of him is in vain!"

Seeing her mother getting angry, Shen Pingwan couldn't help but smile.

When she knew that Shen Nankui was getting married, she was curious and asked someone to find out secretly. When she heard that this fake girl was bullied by Gu's mother, she gloated over it for several days.

Shen Nankui stood up and said, "Mother, please calm down. My husband has always respected my father and would not dare to do this."

"Then tell me, why did the Gu family regret the wedding on the day of the wedding? Didn't they take our Shen family seriously?"

Shen Nankui explained: "The fact that I can come back with my husband today proves that there is no such thing as the Gu family regretting the engagement. It was just some misunderstandings that occurred before."

He snorted coldly, "They don't have the guts to offend the Shen family!"

The Gu family can target Shen Nankui, but the marriage was arranged by the Shen family. If they are dissatisfied with the marriage, it would be a slap in the face of the Shen family, so she is so angry.

"Misunderstand?"

Shen Pingwan laughed out loud, "You make it sound so easy. What kind of misunderstanding could make someone want to divorce you?"

Shen Nankui also laughed.

He looked at her and said, "What kind of misunderstanding is this? Don't you know, sister?"

Of course Shen Pingwan knew.

The old lady of the Gu family is a complete snob. She must be treating Shen Nankui like this because of the dowry, but this is exactly what she wants to see.

"You are not talking about the dowry?"

Shen Pingwan looked at her proudly, "That's true. How can you get married without a dowry? But you are not my mother's child. If you want a dowry, what does it have to do with the Shen family? You should go find that damn mother of yours in the countryside!"

When mentioning her biological mother, Shen Nankui's expression finally changed a little.
