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

The old gardener's whole body stiffened. He raised his skinny right hand tremblingly and subconsciously wanted to pat Shen Nanxing on the back.

Seeing this, Shen Ming raised a smile and shouted, "Dad!"

However, just as he finished speaking, the old gardener suddenly stood up and pushed Shen Nanxing away. Fortunately, Shen Ming was quick-witted and caught his sister in time, preventing her from falling directly to the ground.

He was surprised and asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"

The old gardener, however, was like a madman. He picked up the teapot and teacups on the table and threw them at the brother and sister. His eyes were fierce and he made inaudible manic sounds from his throat from time to time.

Shen Ming hugged his sister and hid here and there to avoid being hit by those things.

When all the things on the table were thrown and the old gardener had nothing left to throw, the brother and sister finally stopped hiding.

The two looked at the old gardener in disbelief.

But they heard the old gardener breathing heavily, his old eyes glaring at them angrily, and a hoarse voice came out of his throat, with great effort, enunciating each word: "No - it's - Dad -"

Shen Nanxing looked at him with red eyes: "You are - um -"

Shen Ming covered his sister's mouth in time and nodded to the old gardener, "Don't be angry, uncle. We mistakenly recognized each other. Sorry."

After saying that, he forcibly took his sister out of the room.

Only when they reached the door did Shen Ming let go of his sister.

Shen Nanxing collapsed and grabbed his brother's collar: "He is my father, he is my father, we didn't admit our mistake!"

Seeing this, Fu Jiuli hurried forward and hugged Shen Nanxing to comfort her: "Don't worry, Madam. Listen to what your brother has to say first."

Madam Wen Xiang nudged the old doctor standing next to her with her shoulder and said, "Old man, go in and take a look."

Old Divine Doctor Shen looked solemn and immediately went into the house upon seeing this scene.

Madam Wen Xiang came to Shen Ming and said, "These days, the old man can still talk to him. You don't have to worry as long as the old man is inside."

Shen Ming nodded to Madam Wen Xiang, then looked at Shen Nanxing: "Let's talk somewhere else."

The few of them quickly moved to a secluded spot in the front yard.

Shen Ming looked at his sister and said, "We didn't make a mistake. He is indeed our father. But calm down and listen to me."

Shen Nanxing's emotions had calmed down a little on the way from the backyard. When he heard his brother say this, he nodded with red eyes.

Shen Ming: "He is my father. This can be confirmed from his reaction just now. It's not that he doesn't care about us, but he has his own reasons for not admitting his identity..."

Shen Nanxing sniffed and continued, "It's because of Shen Yan."

"Yes." Shen Ming said, "But we just confirmed that he is the father, and we were too excited to notice this."

"Dad has been hiding in the Marquis' Mansion for many years, preferring to be a gardener tending to the flowers and plants in the Plum Garden rather than admit his true identity... He won't admit his true identity until his inner knot is resolved."

Shen Nanxing frowned fiercely, holding back tears: "Grandfather said that Dad has always been kind-hearted... Dad must have known about Shen Yan's existence and felt that it was his existence that caused Shen Yan to suffer so much."

"He felt guilty towards him, so even though he was harmed like this by Shen Yan, he was unwilling to admit his identity..."

"He wanted Shen Yan to live an upright life, so he would rather suffer injustice himself. But he was worried about us, so he sneaked into the Marquis' Mansion and worked as a gardener, secretly caring about us, but he couldn't recognize us..."

After these words were finished, everyone was silent.

Fu Jiuli's eyes flickered as she said, "Shen Yan has disappeared. The only solution now is for Shen Mu to come and speak to his father-in-law in person."

"As long as Shen Mu is willing to return to Southern Xinjiang with the Queen of Southern Xinjiang, my father-in-law can restore his status, but..."

"Just what?" Shen Nanxing asked hurriedly.

Fu Jiuli smiled and looked at his wife: "Nothing, I will take care of this matter and will definitely bring Shen Mu to the Nether Valley."

The few people didn't arrive early to begin with, and after all this trouble, the setting sun had already set on the top of the mountain and it was almost dark.

Seeing that his wife was reluctant to leave, Fu Jiuli said, "I'm going to go find Shen Mu. You and your brother can stay here for two days."

"Okay." Shen Ming agreed: "My sister and I will stay here to prevent any accidents. I can just send a message to Grandfather."

After the discussion was complete, Fu Jiuli immediately unloaded the horse from the carriage and rode away from the Nether Valley at full speed.

-

Two days later at noon, Fu Jiuli brought Shen Mu and Murong Yan back to Nether Valley.

Under the arrangement of the old doctor Shen, Shen Mu met with the old gardener alone. The two stayed in the room for a long time and the door was not opened all night.

During this period, Murong Yan also told Shen Nanxing and his sister in detail what had happened in the past two days.

First, the old wizard came and carefully examined Shen Mu's body several times, and told them that there was no second consciousness in Shen Mu's body.

Fundamentally speaking, Shen Yan's existence is actually an obsession of Shen Mu's original body. Once the obsession is gone, that consciousness will naturally dissipate completely.

Shen Mu didn't believe it at first. No matter how the old wizard explained, there was always a knot in his heart that could not be resolved.

But not long after, Shen Mu received a letter from Zhan Xing, the nine-star killer of Xingyue Pavilion.

Murong Yan explained, "I only recently found out that he is the Pavilion Master of Xingyue Pavilion. The nine-star assassin named Zhan Xing said that the Pavilion Master gave him a letter and asked him to return it to the Pavilion Master in seven days."

"So actually, that letter was written by Shen Yan specifically for Shen Mu. He didn't tell me what was in the letter, and I didn't ask. But what is certain is that it was that letter that made him feel relieved."

"After reading the letter, he agreed to return to Southern Xinjiang with me to reunite with his daughter. So, Shen Yuan can now take back his identity and no longer have to worry about anything."

Murong Yan's eyes were filled with apology as she bowed and said, "The idea of ​​two souls in one body is truly incredible. I apologize for the harm he caused to your family, so I promise you this."

"If you need any help from Nanjiang in the future, Nanjiang will never refuse."

Shen Mingxu helped Murong Yan up and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. The responsibility for this matter does not lie entirely with him. The Marquis' Mansion is also responsible."

Murong Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "It is my great honor that you think this way."

Inside the house, Shen Mu and Shen Yuan had a long talk all night, and both of them were in tears.

Shen Mu: "Actually, Shen Yan is not a bad person by nature. We have envied you since we were little and have even secretly visited you several times."

"We later became powerful and founded the Star-Moon Pavilion. Do you know why it's called the Star-Moon Pavilion?"

Shen Yuan said with difficulty: "Why?"

A smile appeared in Shen Mu's eyes. "Because I overheard you say once that if you were lucky enough to marry Luan'er in this life, the child you and she would have in the future, if it was a boy, would be named Yue, and if it was a girl, would be named Xing, meaning the most beautiful moon and stars in the world. Do you still remember?"
