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

This interruption immediately livened up the stagnant and sad atmosphere in the study.

Shen Nanxing smiled and asked the servant: "What's your name?"

The servant scratched his head again, feeling rather embarrassed. "Miss, my name is Shitou. My mother said that Shitou means a person has a tough life!"

"I'm going to go out in a few days to fight the people of Donglai. Would you like to come with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Tou knelt down.

He bowed to Shen Nanxing and said, "General, I obey your orders!"

The two guards were stunned. This...

Shen Nanxing burst out laughing and turned to Lord Xu and said, "Uncle, Nanxing asked you for this boy. Are you willing to let him go?"

Duke Xu smiled and said, "Whatever Nanxing wants, as long as my uncle has it, why wouldn't I give it to him? I'll have your aunt give you his indenture in a moment."

Shitou immediately turned around and faced Duke Xu: "Your servant thanks you, Duke!"

Duke Xu said sternly, "Shitou, right? When we go to the battlefield, everything must be put first with General Shen. You must listen to General Shen's words, understand?"

"Yes!" Shitou bowed solemnly.

"Get up!"

Shi Tou stood up straight and naturally waited behind Shen Nanxing.

After thanking his uncle, Shen Nanxing put the portrait in his arms into Shi Tou's arms.

Duke Xu said, "Nanxing, your grandmother misses you and your mother every day. Go meet her!"

"Also, your uncle happens to be on vacation today. He will definitely be happy to know you're here!"

"Yeah." Shen Nanxing nodded obediently.

"Won't you come with me, uncle?"

Duke Xu paused and said, "My uncle has some important matters to attend to. You go first. I will be here soon."

"Shitou, lead the way, young lady."

"Yes!"

When they left the study, Duke Xu's face suddenly wrinkled.

Hiss, it hurts so much...

As Shen Nanxing and Shitou walked away, Shitou said, "Miss, according to my observation, the Duke is injured."

"He was holding it in just now, probably because he didn't want you to find out."

Shen Nanxing raised an eyebrow: "Good observation."

"Miss, do you know?" Shi Tou was a little surprised.

Shen Nanxing nodded: "I know, but my uncle doesn't want me to know, so I just pretend I don't know."

He must have fallen just now, but it's not a big deal, so there's no need to worry.

-

Shen Nanxing followed Shitou all the way to Ci'an Hall where her grandmother lived.

Just as I reached the door, I heard a crisp sound.

When I looked back, I saw a strange old woman standing there, and the food in her hand had just fallen to the ground.

At this moment, she was looking at her, tears welling up in her old eyes, her wrinkled hands covering her mouth, with a look of disbelief.

Just as Shen Nanxing was about to ask, he heard an old voice coming from inside the house.

"Xiao Kong, you're already a grown-up, why are you still so clumsy?"

"What did you knock over this time?"

These two sentences were spoken very slowly, and before they were finished, the figure of an old lady with a cane, a hunched back and silver hair appeared at the door.

The old woman called Xiao Kong walked quickly to the old lady's side and held her hand. "Old lady, look who's here?"

The old lady slowly looked in the direction the old woman was pointing, and saw a bright and beautiful girl in red standing not far away.

"you you......"

The old lady raised her foot and was about to get closer.

Shen Nanxing quickly took a few steps and came to the old lady.

She smiled with her lips pursed and called out obediently, "Grandma!"

The old lady was suddenly stunned. She raised her hand tremblingly and wanted to touch the girl's face.

Shen Nanxing noticed her movements, quickly grabbed her hand, bent down and moved his face forward, letting the old lady's hand rest on his face.

"Grandma, I'm Nanxing..."

"Nanxing! My Nanxing..."

"Hey, grandma, Nanxing is here!"

"South Star..."

"Hey, Grandma..."

"..."

The old lady kept calling out, and Shen Nanxing responded again and again.

Madam Kong was crying beside her, laughing as she cried: "Madam, it's Miss Nanxing, Miss Nanxing has come back to see you..."

A tear also flowed from the old lady's cloudy eyes: "Nanxing, good boy, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."

Shen Nanxing helped the old lady into the house.

After talking to her for a long time, the old lady suddenly asked a question.

"Nanxing, your mother...is she okay?"

Shen Nanxing smiled and comforted: "Grandma, don't worry, my mother is fine."

A look of desolation flashed across the old lady's eyes: "That's all, that's all..."

"After all these years, she must still be resentful of me, that's why she's still unwilling to come and see me..."

"But Shen Yuan is not a good person. Why doesn't she obey?"

"I just feel bad for her. I wonder if that kid Shen Yuan has bullied her..."

Shen Nanxing held the old lady's hand and said, "Grandma, Shen Yuan wouldn't dare bully my mother! My mother was personally conferred the title of First-Rank Imperial Consort by His Majesty, and Shen Yuan is only a seventh-rank lady, far inferior to my mother!"

"He's so cautious in front of my mother now, he doesn't even have time to please her!"

"That's good, that's good..." the old lady burst into tears.

Shen Nanxing smiled and coaxed the old lady, but he sighed deeply in his heart.

Before long, my eldest uncle, my youngest uncle, three aunts, several cousins, and nephews and nieces...

Except for the second uncle who was doing business and had gone out to purchase goods, all the members of the Zhenguogong family were present.

After the whole family had dinner together and talked for a while, Shen Nanxing called his elder uncle and younger uncle to the study room alone.

Shen Nanxing recounted everything that had happened in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion during this period.

When they heard that Xu was poisoned, both uncles were furious.

"What does Shen Yuan do for a living?"

"It was he who proposed to me in marriage. He knelt before us and swore that he would treat me well for the rest of my life and never take a concubine. Only then did we agree to let me marry him!"

"Otherwise, with his useless appearance, if it weren't for his kindness to me and my love for him, there's no way we would marry me to him!"

"He seemed quite sincere at first, but now he has become like this, completely unrecognizable. He even allowed his concubine to poison my younger sister!"

Duke Xu slammed his palm on the desk and said, "If it weren't for your mother protecting him, I would have destroyed him more than ten years ago!"

Master Xu's eyes were sinister: "He has been deceiving me from the beginning to the end."

Shen Nanxing was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"I suspect Shen Yuan is not my father."
