The more Xie Tingyu thought about it, the more upset he became.

He pressed his eyebrows and said, "Nanxing, I have important matters to discuss with my colleagues, so I won't be dining with you."

Shen Nanxing nodded understandingly: "Okay, Brother Yu, business is more important, you go!"

Only after seeing the man stride away angrily did Shen Nanxing burst into laughter.

Seeing him feeling aggrieved, she felt so happy.

But this is just an appetizer! Wait and see!

Today, Prince Jing and Princess Jing are preparing to return home, and the Marquis' Mansion has prepared a large table of delicious food. Now everyone has left, and only Shen Nanxing is eating.

She waved to Uncle Zhang, who had just served her the food, and smiled, "Uncle Zhang, come on, sit down and eat with us!"

Uncle Zhang waved his hand and was about to refuse.

Shen Nanxing raised her hand and pretended to wipe her eyes: "Nanxing is married, her father doesn't like her, her husband doesn't love her, and even Uncle Zhang doesn't love her anymore..."

Uncle Zhang panicked, his old face flushed red, and in his panic he knocked the chair over. "Miss, what are you talking about? Uncle Zhang has watched you grow up, so how can I not love you..."

Seeing this, Chun Xing covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Uncle Zhang, please sit down! The young lady is happy and is teasing you on purpose!"

"Yes!"

Uncle Zhang then sat down carefully. If he didn't sit down, he was afraid that the young lady would feel wronged again. Even if she was pretending, he still felt sorry for her.

The young lady returned home today, and I was the only servant to accompany her for dinner...

Just thinking about it, his old eyes became moist and he actually wiped the tears with his sleeves.

"It's a happy occasion today that Nanxing is coming home. You're so shameless to still cry at your age!"

The voice of Lord Shen suddenly came from the dining room door.

When they looked up, they saw the old man walking in with his hands behind his back and a proud stride.

"Grandfather!" Shen Nanxing put down his chopsticks and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Old Marquis!" Uncle Zhang also stood up and walked over, looking rather embarrassed.

"Nanxing thought grandpa was angry and didn't come!" Shen Nanxing hugged the old man's arm and shook it.

Old Marquis Shen glared at her and said, "You finally came back, but this old man won't even let you eat. You must be hiding and crying!"

Shen Nanxing was unconvinced and raised his head high: "You are talking nonsense, I won't cry!"

Old Marquis Shen laughed and said, "I don't know who it was, but she would secretly weep whenever she was asked to do horse stance for half an hour longer."

"Grandfather!" Shen Nanxing stomped his feet.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! Grandfather, don't say it anymore! Don't say it anymore! Our Jiaojiao is embarrassed!"

"Come on, Lao Zhang, sit with us. Let's have dinner together today. That's great!"

"It also saves that heartless thing from being an eyesore here."

Several people sat down, passed food to each other, and talked about Shen Nanxing's childhood. From time to time, Shen Nanxing was so angry that she jumped up and down, and the maid hid behind her and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed.

But after finishing the meal, Lord Shen suddenly thought of something and his face suddenly became stern, looking quite aggrieved.

"Nanxing, your uncle always bullies me in the court..."

Shen Nanxing: ???

She raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of confusion. "You are a majestic general who fought bravely on the battlefield and made great contributions! How can my uncle, a mere scholar, bully you?"

Although she has not had any contact with her maternal grandparents in recent years due to her mother's relationship, she still knows a lot about the situation of her maternal grandparents.

My uncle was a brilliant scholar, and when he was young, he achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations, becoming the top scholar. He was later appointed by His Majesty as the Imperial College's chief academic officer, the youngest such position in the academy's history.

Now, His Majesty has invited me to the palace to teach the Sixth Prince, and I am the only one who teaches him.

The reason was that the Sixth Prince was born and raised in the cold palace since childhood because his mother was wrongly accused, and he missed the critical period of childhood enlightenment. Therefore, Xu Jijiu, the most knowledgeable man in the Kingdom of Beiyue, was specially invited to be the Sixth Prince's tutor.

So that the Sixth Prince can catch up quickly.

The Sixth Prince was intelligent, and Tutor Xu was a skilled teacher. A year earlier, his scholarship had already rivaled that of other princes of similar age. Yet, for unknown reasons, His Majesty continued to allow Tutor Xu to teach the Sixth Prince individually.
