After rebirth, I remarried the domineering 9000-year-old

The two guards looked at Shen Nanxing embarrassedly and did not dare to enter the study again.

Shen Nanxing pursed her lips and shouted towards the study: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

She just heard a strange noise coming from the study. Could it be that her uncle fell?

In the study, Xu Shenzhi tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, his elbow felt a sharp pain.

When he heard his niece ask this, he felt anxious and painful, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

He gritted his teeth and supported himself on the chair to get up. It took a lot of effort for him to sit upright on the chair again. He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

After his breathing stabilized, he calmly said to the outside: "Nanxing, come in."

Shen Nanxing was already getting impatient, and when she heard her uncle asking her to come in, she quickly slipped into the study.

Behind the desk, there sat an elegant middle-aged man with a long beard, looking at him with a kind face.

"Uncle..."

As soon as Shen Nanxing opened his mouth, his voice choked with sobs.

I blinked and tears fell again.

She hadn't intended this to happen, and she was fine outside just now.

But for some reason, the moment I saw my uncle, I felt so wronged that I couldn't help but lose my composure...

"Hey......"

When Xu Shenzhi heard the girl calling him uncle, his eyes became moist, but he held back his tears.

He is Nanxing's elder and is old. It is not appropriate for him to cry in front of children!

But when he saw the girl crying, he panicked and wanted to stand up immediately. He supported himself on the desk with his hands, which caused severe pain in his body and he was unable to stand up.

He had no choice but to give up and stand up, but his eyes were fixed on the girl, full of anxiety: "Why is Nanxing crying? Did someone bully you?"

"Tell your uncle, he will take care of it for you!"

Shen Nanxing wiped away her tears, sniffed again, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little uncle, no one will bully me."

"Nanxing is happy to see his uncle..."

She nodded at the scroll in her arms with her chin, tears hanging on her smiling face: "Did my uncle ask someone to draw these paintings?"

Xu Shenzhi then noticed the scroll in the girl's arms and couldn't help but sigh: "Your mother has been angry with us all these years and has not allowed you to associate with us..."

"We didn't dare to go looking for you rashly, for fear of angering your mother again, or for fear that you would believe what your mother said and refuse to talk to us."

"But I also hold onto hope. What if one day you remember us, or if you've been wronged, and are willing to come to the Zhenguo Mansion? I'm also worried that the concierge might not recognize you and neglect you, so I prepared these portraits and placed them at the concierge..."

"Look, you're here, aren't you?"

The middle-aged man's face was filled with a warm and loving smile, and there were tears in his eyes.

Shen Nanxing knelt down with tears in her eyes: "Nanxing is unfilial and is late."

He kowtowed heavily.

"Nanxing, what are you doing?"

Duke Xu was anxious: "Come, help the young lady up!"

The two guards outside the door were about to come in upon hearing the order, but someone quickly passed by them and got there first.

The gatekeeper came to Shen Nanxing in the blink of an eye and helped her up.

Two guards: ???

Grab the credit???

After the servant helped the man up, he stepped aside.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, his face immediately turned red: "Duke, Miss, I'm sorry!"

He scratched his head: "Just now, when I heard the Duke's order, I thought he was calling me..."

"I always react very quickly, just..."

The two guards' faces darkened.

Does this mean they were slow to react?
