Her life could be said to be quite hard. She usually dressed simply. When the ladies in the capital asked her about it, she just said that she liked to dress that way.

What the hell does she like?! She obviously likes beautiful, shiny gold jewelry and all kinds of red dresses... She just doesn't have the money to buy them...

She also used to buy cakes and sweet wine from Zuixinzhai, but she would only buy a little bit during festivals or when she was really hungry.

When the shopkeeper of Zuixinzhai asked why she bought less, she could only answer that her taste had changed and she didn't like sweets anymore...

What else could she do? Should she tell everyone that her dowry had all gone to Prince Jing, and that his salary wasn't enough to support the family, so she had to live a tight life?

The most hateful thing is that Xie Tingyu clearly knew the reason for her embarrassment, but he spent a lot of money to support Shen Zhiyi who lived in Xinlanyuan!

Turning back to Shen Zhiyi, she said, "Shen Nanxing doesn't even know how to dress herself. She wears the same clothes over and over again, like a country girl. How can she compare to Yi'er?"

But he never thought about why she, the only legitimate daughter of the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion, had fallen to this point!

Shen Nanxing recalled his past life and really wanted to slap his past self in the face!

So stupid!

Especially later, when Xie Tingyu was escorted by Fu Jiuli and cried and apologized in front of her grave, he mentioned that the flood in Liangzhou did not cost as much as 150,000 taels of silver, but only 110,000 taels.

She was about to explode with rage!

This scumbag actually used her money to support his mistress!!!

When Shen Nanxing thought of this, he couldn't even breathe. It was so infuriating!

"South Star, South Star..."

Shen Nanxing suddenly woke up and realized that she had been reborn and was now in Concubine Duan's Xiyue Palace with Xie Tingyu.

She took a deep breath and felt a little calmer.

Her silver is still there, but she will never give him a penny in this life!

"Nanxing, what are you thinking? No matter how I call you, you won't agree?"

When Shen Nanxing looked up, she saw Xie Tingyu talking to her with a smile in his eyes. And the Duan Fei sitting next to him looked at her with a loving expression.

"Nanxing, are you bored standing here?"

Concubine Duan asked with a smile, then suddenly her smile faded and she scolded the maidservants beside her: "What are you doing? Seeing Princess Jing standing there, don't you know how to move a chair?"

Seeing the maid tremblingly apologize and then go to move the chair, Concubine Duan's face was covered with a smile again: "Nanxing, don't blame mother. It was mother who was inconsiderate. Mother hasn't seen Prince Jing for a long time. I was so happy talking to him that I neglected you."

Shen Nanxing was confused and subconsciously took a step back.

what happened?

Didn't he just want to prick her with a needle? Why is he suddenly so enthusiastic?

Soon the maid brought the chair over and was about to place it next to Shen Nanxing when Concubine Duan smiled and said, "Put it next to me! I want to have a few private words with the princess and her mother-in-law."

The maid replied "yes" and moved the chair back to Concubine Duan's side.

Concubine Duan looked at Shen Nanxing with a smile and stretched out her hand to beckon her over: "Nanxing, come and sit with mother."

"We haven't even sat down together and had a proper conversation yet!"

Shen Nanxing frowned and looked at Concubine Duan's smiling face, feeling uncomfortable all over.

He's being so attentive to her for no reason, so he must have some ulterior motive...

But what can I gain from her?

"Xing'er, why are you still standing there? Mother is calling you, come here quickly!"

Seeing that Shen Nanxing didn't move, Xie Tingyu simply walked over and held her hand.

His tone was full of concern: "You must be tired after standing for so long! Come and sit for a while."

Shen Nanxing was pushed to sit on a chair in silence, and then Concubine Duan held both of her hands.

Concubine Duan's hands were very cold. When Shen Nanxing held her hand, she felt as if she was being entangled by a cold poisonous snake, and her heart was filled with goosebumps.

But she couldn't pull her hand back, because she was afraid that she would prick her with the needle again if she got upset...
