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

Murong Yan pinched his cheek and said, "We have an old wizard in Southern Xinjiang who has lived for hundreds of years. He has seen situations like yours before and has some understanding of them."

"He's on his way to us now. He'll probably arrive in three days. Let the old wizard take a look at him and see if there's a way to have the best of both worlds."

"Don't think too much these days. Just be yourself, okay?"

"Okay." Shen Mu put aside his chaotic thoughts for the time being and fell asleep holding the woman in his arms.

After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Yan'er, what is our daughter like? Does she look like you or me? Does she have any favorite things?"

Murong Yan burst into laughter, her eyes filled with tenderness as she thought of her precious daughter: "Our daughter combines the best qualities of both of us. She is the most beautiful girl in Southern Xinjiang."

"Her eyes are like mine, and her nose and mouth are like yours. She loves playing football and shuttlecock with her friends, and she also likes going hunting..."

Shen Mu imagined his daughter's appearance, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up. But as he listened, he felt something was wrong. He looked at Murong Yan:

"Didn't you say that your daughter has no friends and always plays by herself?"

Murong Yan was stunned for a moment, then she grabbed his ear and said righteously, "Why, you can't stand seeing your daughter doing well, right? You wish no one would play with her, right?"

Shen Mu: ???

Murong Yan: "Do you know you are wrong?"

Shen Mu: "...Yan'er, I was wrong."

......

The next day, after receiving the news, Fu Jiuli immediately went to the address mentioned in Murong Yan's letter.

Unexpectedly, that family had already moved away. The people in the village did know a little news, saying that the ugly monster with disfigured face only stayed in the village for one night and disappeared when he woke up the next day.

The family was afraid that someone would come to ask for the money back, so they moved out overnight.

Having found nothing, on the way back to the city, Fu Jiuli's mind suddenly flashed the face of the old gardener in Nanyang Marquis Mansion.

Wasn't that old gardener also disfigured and hoarse? Madam Wen Xiang said he had dozens of toxins in his body...

His heart skipped a beat. Doesn't this all fit?

In addition, the old gardener seemed to care about the lady very much. This time, he was picked up by Madam Wenxiang and the old doctor on the day of his wedding with the lady, when they met outside the palace!

Thinking of this, Fu Jiuli shook the reins and sped back to Prince Li's Mansion. He brought his wife with him, and called Shen Ming along, and the three of them headed for Nether Valley together.

Along the way, Shen Nanxing was extremely nervous. She asked her brother, "Brother, do you think that old gardener is Dad?"

Shen Ming's heart was also in turmoil, but he did not show it on his face. He patted his sister's shoulder and analyzed carefully, "I think it's very likely."

"Disfigured, hoarse, and poisoned. Besides these three things, Xia He said he ran to the Marquis' Mansion on his own, to be with his mother."

"Combined with what you said, he clearly cares about you, but he doesn't want to leave the palace and live there, and wants to return to Plum Garden. But in fact, mother only treats him as an ordinary servant, so why does he still want to stay in Plum Garden?"

"Except that he is the father and has deep feelings for the mother, I can't think of any other explanation..."

Shen Nanxing's eyes suddenly turned red: "If he is really my father, how much suffering he has endured over the years! He had to watch Mom become so haggard for a fake, and watch Mom quarrel with my brother and me... and he was speechless..."

Shen Ming reached out to touch his sister's head, hoping to comfort her, but found nothing. Fu Jiuli stretched out his arms, and his sister was already in his arms.

Shen Ming:......

Not wanting to argue with that jealous person, Shen Ming naturally withdrew his hand and looked at his sister: "His hands are fine and he can write. But he didn't pass any information to any of us."

"It's enough to show that he voluntarily hid his identity. It could be because he felt inferior due to his disfigured appearance and voice, or it could be to protect Shen Yan, or... it could be both."

Shen Nanxing closed his eyes in pain: "It was to protect Shen Yan. Dad's face can obviously be cured, but he would rather die than have it repaired... If it's not to help Shen Yan hide his identity, what else could it be?"

Shen Ming: "I can't confirm that the old gardener is my father yet. When we get to Nether Valley..."

Shen Nanxing interrupted him with a sob: "He is the father!"

"The first time I saw him in Meiyuan, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It turned out that he was my father..."

Fu Jiuli patted her back gently and said, "You'll get better soon. The Queen of Southern Xinjiang will definitely bring Shen Mu back to Southern Xinjiang this time. Then, my father-in-law can restore his status and live an upright life."

Shen Ming glanced at him with contempt.

Tsk, coward.

After knowing that his father was harmed by Shen Yan, Fu Jiuli didn't even dare to acknowledge his master in front of his sister.

Shen Ming pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Nine Thousand Years Old Man, the etiquette we've learned since elementary school is to address the master by his name?"

Fu Jiuli:!!!
