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

From a distance, I saw Tutor Xu saying something to Eunuch Gui who was guarding outside the imperial study. Eunuch Gui turned and went into the imperial study. After a while, he came out and invited Tutor Xu in.

Although Lord Shen was angry, he was relieved.

Tutor Xu has always been a cunning and shrewd person. I think with his protection, Beiyue will be fine.

So Lord Shen simply sat down in a pavilion not far away, which was facing the direction of the imperial study.

If Beiyue comes out, he will be the first to see her.

Just after taking a sip of the hot tea served by the palace maid, Lord Shen saw the Minister of Works Hu Anguo walking towards the pavilion.

"Mr. Shen, what a coincidence!" Minister Hu greeted him from a distance with a smile on his face.

Old Marquis Shen frowned. He and Minister Hu were just nodding acquaintances. Apart from meeting in the court on weekdays and nodding to each other out of courtesy, they had no other interactions.

Why is Minister Hu so enthusiastic about him?

But despite his confusion, he still nodded politely to Minister Hu. When Minister Hu approached, he asked, "Since you're not attending court today, why did you come to the palace so early in the morning?"

Minister Hu smiled and said, "Isn't it that the Ministry of Works has something to report to His Majesty? I heard that His Majesty was in the Imperial Study, so I came over."

"Where is Lord Shen? Is he here to see His Majesty as well?"

Old Lord Shen became even more puzzled.

Isn't Minister Hu usually a serious person? He always has a stern face, as if someone owes him money and won't pay it back.

Why is it that when you saw me today, your old face was wrinkled with smiles?

Could it be that he has some plans for me?

Old Marquis Shen became secretly alert, thinking that if someone showed kindness to him for no reason, he was either a traitor or a thief.

He was waiting for Minister Hu to show his true colors.

Lord Shen had a lot on his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. His tone was neither cold nor warm: "Your Majesty has summoned me. I will bring my grandson to the palace to see you."

Minister Hu was still smiling and flattering enthusiastically: "Speaking of your grandson Beiyue, he is truly a rare talent, and he is also very handsome..."

Old Marquis Shen had a strange look on his face: "Beiyue fell off a cliff when he was eight years old. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he injured his face and the left half of his face was disfigured."

Although my grandson is good-looking no matter how I look at him, to say he's a handsome man is a bit far-fetched.

Minister Hu's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly smiled again and said, "For a man, what's the point of appearance? Beiyue has reached a high position at such a young age, and his future is immeasurable..."

Old Marquis Shen's expression became even more strange. "Beiyue was the Prime Minister of an enemy country. It is a great favor from His Majesty that he can save his life now. He can't even inherit the title of Marquis, let alone a high official position and generous salary."

Old Lord Shen glanced in the direction of the imperial study.

Could it be that Minister Hu was sent by His Majesty to sound him out? Was he worried that the Marquisate might harbor rebellious intentions?

Thinking of this, Lord Shen's expression turned cold: "Minister Hu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

If His Majesty really had doubts about the Marquis' Mansion, he would definitely go before His Majesty and make his intentions clear!

Minister Hu's smile froze on his face.

This... I've already been trying to please him so much, why is Old Marquis Shen still angry?

Minister Hu feels so miserable!

If it weren't for his beloved daughter, why would he be so humble...

But even though he was humble, Minister Hu still had pride in his bones.

Since Lord Shen asked him to speak frankly, he simply put away his smile, put his hands behind his back, and said with his neck stiff, "Lord Shen, since you asked me to speak frankly, then I will speak frankly."

Old Marquis Shen looked extremely ugly, as expected!

In his early years, he followed the previous emperor to conquer the world, and led troops to fight east and west. He spent his whole life in military service and protected countless people in the Kingdom of North Vietnam.

Now, in the end, he has ended up in such a situation of being suspected, which is really disheartening.

He shot a sharp look at Minister Hu: "Speak."

All of Old Lord Shen's battlefield-hardened aura was released at once.

Minister Hu trembled and almost fell to his knees.

He looked tremblingly at the terrifying old Marquis Shen: "Bei, is Beiyue engaged?"

Old Lord Shen was stunned.

...That's it?
