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

Shen Nanxing swallowed hard, "What happened during this period? Don't you... dislike Fu Jiuli?"

"Why are you suddenly going to become sworn brothers with him?"

Amid the old Marquis Shen's cursing and rambling, the brother and sister finally figured out the whole story and were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It turned out that on the second day after they left, Minister Hu wrote a letter to impeach Marquis Shen, saying that as the Marquis of Nanyang, he was in a high position and had great power but he did not keep his promises and everything he said was bullshit!

She had clearly agreed to marry into the Shangshu Mansion, but she changed her mind when the Shangshu Mansion came to propose marriage, embarrassing the Shangshu Mansion and making it difficult for them to get out of this situation...

He also said that he couldn't teach his son or grandson well. Shen Ming was such a gentle and elegant man before, but after just a few days back at the Marquis' Mansion, he was already corrupted by him, even behaving like a hooligan to a decent girl in the street...

Ten days had passed since this incident, and Old Marquis Shen was still indignant when he spoke of it: "Can this be blamed on me? I clearly told him to wait until Beiyue's face healed before arranging for him to meet his daughter!"

"He misunderstood and insisted that Beiyue was worried that his daughter would dislike him because of the facial injury. Since his daughter said she doesn't care, then this marriage is a done deal..."

"Tell me, can his statement hold water? It's utter bullshit! He even had the nerve to complain to His Majesty!"

"What else are you talking about? Beiyue molesting a decent girl in the street? That's nonsense! Beiyue would never do such a thing!"

Lord Shen's face turned red with anger: "Beiyue, don't you think so?"

Shen Ming's expression was somewhat unnatural. He lowered his head silently, and after a long while, he finally squeezed out a word from his throat: "...Yes."

"I'll tell you!" Old Marquis Shen slammed the table and stood up: "Tomorrow I will go to Hu Anguo to reason with him!"

"Beiyue, go with Grandfather! Let's confront him face to face and see how he can wrongly accuse you!"

Shen Ming twitched his lips: "Grandfather, I have recently..."

Seeing the topic going off topic, Shen Nanxing anxiously tugged at Old Marquis Shen's sleeve, "Grandfather, what does this have to do with your plan to become sworn brothers with Fu Jiuli?"

"Of course it does!" Old Marquis Shen suddenly laughed. "Why didn't I realize before that Fu Jiuli is so perceptive?"

"That day in the court, I was arguing fiercely with Hu Anguo. The other officials, without knowing right from wrong, only supported Hu Anguo..."

"I'm arguing with a whole bunch of them, and I'm about to lose. Hey, guess what?"

"This kid Fu Jiuli actually helped me for the first time!"

Lord Shen said complacently, "Once he opened his mouth, not only did those troublemakers disappear, but even Hu Anguo himself became paralyzed and didn't dare to refute him at all!"

Shen Nanxing's eyes flashed with interest: "What did he say?"

Old Marquis Shen was stunned and tugged at his beard. "Oh, Grandfather doesn't remember what he said... It doesn't matter! Anyway, everyone else stood on Hu Anguo's side, and he was the only one who spoke for Grandfather!"

"And he alone can handle that bunch of troublemakers!" Old Marquis Shen said with great joy: "Guess what happened in the end? His Majesty reprimanded Hu Anguo and told him not to stir up trouble all day long..."

"Hahahaha, how wonderful it is!" Old Marquis Shen said with a flushed face.

Shen Nanxing: ...

She looked at Old Marquis Shen with a strange look in her eyes: "Just because Fu Jiuli spoke up for you in the court, you want to become sworn brothers with him?"

Lord Shen smiled mysteriously and pointed at the white jade jar on the table: "Do you recognize what this is?"

The brother and sister turned their attention to the white jade jar that they had just ignored.

Shen Nanxing frowned: "Isn't this just an ordinary jar for chess pieces?"

"No, no! Take a closer look!" Old Marquis Shen stroked his long gray beard, with an excited smile flashing in his eyes.

Shen Ming carefully opened the lid, picked up a chess piece, and took a quick look before he understood clearly: "Round and smooth like pearls and jade, lustrous and shiny, warm to the touch... Is this the Rolling Jade Chess piece that the chess master Mao Gong treasured so highly?"

"Good taste! This is the world-famous rolling jade chess set!" Old Lord Shen put the lid back on and held the jar in his arms like a treasure.

Shen Ming smiled and said, "Fu Jiuli is quite generous. Knowing that you love chess, he is willing to give you such a good chess set."

Lord Shen smiled and said, "Isn't it? We met too late, and we are friends regardless of age!"

"Ever since he helped me in the court that day, perhaps because he felt we were getting to know each other better, he's been making time to play chess with me every day..."

"I've been staying at home all day with nothing to do, and since you and your sister aren't here, let's play chess and chat about everything. I've discovered that he and I have surprisingly similar views on many things..."

Shen Nanxing: ...He deliberately goes along with you, isn't that surprisingly consistent?

"Today he gave me this set of rolling jade chess pieces. I was so happy that I asked him to become my sworn brother, didn't I?"

"Who knew he wouldn't appreciate it, and even said he couldn't bear it..." Old Marquis Shen glared and got angry again: "I didn't even despise him for being young, so what can't he bear?"

Shen Nanxing twitched his lips, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Fu Jiuli probably never dreamed that his constant attempts to please his grandfather would backfire...

When Shen Ming saw his sister's ugly face, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Shen Nanxing glared at him unhappily.

Lord Shen also looked at him displeasedly: "What are you laughing at, little brat? What's so funny?"

"I haven't settled the score with you yet! That Hu Anguo impeachment of me was all because of you! I get angry just talking about this, so you better be well..."

"Hey, grandpa, grandpa, I have something to say..." Shen Ming hurriedly interrupted the old Marquis Shen.

Lord Shen glanced at him and said, "Speak!"

Shen Ming cleared his throat, a smile still in his eyes: "So you are very grateful to Fu Jiuli now, and you feel that you have a good relationship with him and want to be closer to him, so you proposed to become his sworn brother, right?"

Lord Shen snorted coldly: "He is not happy."

Shen Ming smiled and said, "I have a way to solve this problem. I can make his relationship with you closer than that of brothers with different surnames... What do you think?"

Shen Nanxing:!!!

Lord Shen, however, became interested: "What's the solution?"

Shen Ming smiled mysteriously: "You will know in five days."

......

Five days later, one hundred and twenty-eight loads of betrothal gifts entered the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion.

Lord Shen: !!!!!!!!!!!!
