After the divorce, I pursued the Ninth Prince 100 times.

The servants had already lifted up the boxes and were lining up to go to the treasury.

When they heard the old marquis's angry shout, they immediately stopped and looked towards him.

"Dad?" The evil son looked confused.

Lord Shen didn't even glance at him. He ordered the servants carrying the boxes, "Carry Nanxing's return gifts to my private vault!"

"These are Nanxing's things. I wonder who dares to take them!"

As he said this, he glared at the evil son fiercely.

Aunt Qiu was almost going crazy with anxiety. How could something that was right at her fingertips fly away?

She knew that the old marquis did not like her, and if she spoke, things would probably get worse, so she pinched Shen Yuan's waist several times.

Shen Yuan endured the pain and said quickly, "Dad, what are you doing? Nanxing's return gift, how can it be placed in your private vault? Of course it should be placed in the government treasury! What's the point of putting it in your private vault?"

"Besides, the treasury is managed by Xu, and Xu is Nanxing's mother, so she will take good care of these things. Are you still worried that these things will fall into the hands of outsiders?"

Old Marquis Shen glanced at Aunt Qiu, who was now looking anxious, and sneered, "It's hard to guard against thieves in the house!"

Aunt Qiu immediately exploded, her voice loud and sharp: "Father, you said it's hard to guard against thieves in the house, so why are you looking at me? Have I ever stolen anything from the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Do you think you can insult others at will just because you are older?"

She held her head high, with a clear conscience.

Over the years, what possessions had she not been willingly given to her by the man beside her? She had never personally taken anything from the Marquis' Mansion!

When Shen Nanxing saw Aunt Qiu speaking rudely to Grandfather, he immediately stood up to protect him, glaring at Shen Yuan fiercely, "Dad, as Grandfather's son, how could you allow a concubine to speak of him like that?"

Shen Yuan first raised his hand to pat Aunt Qiu's back to comfort her, then said to Old Marquis Shen, "Father, you are prejudiced against Qiu'er. She has never taken anything from the mansion without permission, and she has given birth to a son and a daughter for the Marquisate. It would be fine if you don't feel grateful to her, but why do you slander her at every turn?"

Seeing that Old Marquis Shen was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, his beard was curled up, and even his breathing became heavier, Shen Nanxing patted his back repeatedly to calm him down.

"Grandpa, don't be angry, don't be angry!"

"It's not worth getting angry at someone like my dad!"

"Although you have an unfilial son, you have a filial granddaughter!"

"If you get too angry, no one in this mansion will support me! If I get bullied, I won't even have a place to cry..."

Lord Shen glared at her: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who dares to bully you!"

"Xie Tingyu." Shen Nanxing's voice became much softer.

"What did you say? Say it again, Grandfather didn't hear clearly."

"I said, if you want to argue, I'll do it. You're old and you can't win..."

After saying this, he put his hands on his hips, looked at the servants carrying the things, waved his hand and said loudly: "Move all these things to the old marquis's private warehouse!"

Seeing the servants carrying the box and changing direction, Aunt Qiu was so anxious that she ran over, stretched out her hands, and blocked the two servants, preventing them from moving the box away.

The box contained the sapphire headpiece that she fell in love with at first sight. It was sparkling and looked very valuable.

She turned her head and looked at Shen Nanxing: "Nanxing, since you are married, you are no longer a member of the Marquis' Mansion. Why do you think you can be the master of my Marquis' Mansion?"

"I've never seen a married woman still meddling in her parents' affairs!"

Shen Nanxing sneered: "This is the first time I've seen a servant meddling in my master's affairs!"

"A slave girl calling the princess by her first name is something I have never heard of!"

"Someone, come here and slap him!" Shen Nanxing's voice suddenly became sharp.

"Yes!"

Two maids flashed out from behind Shen Nanxing. One of them effortlessly forced Aunt Qiu to kneel on the ground with her hands behind her back, and the other maid slapped her in the face several times.

Several slap marks immediately appeared on Aunt Qiu's face.

"Ah!" A shrill scream rang out.

All this happens in an instant.

The servant carrying the box reacted quickly, walked around Aunt Qiu, quickly caught up with the team, and rushed to the private vault of Marquis Shen.

Shen Yuan ran over quickly and kicked the maid who was holding Aunt Qiu away.

The maid who was about to slap Aunt Qiu was about to strike, but the maid who was kicked out quickly stabilized her body and was about to fly back. Shen Nanxing raised his hand, and the two maids silently retreated behind Shen Nanxing and stood still.

They lost their presence again, as if the people who suddenly burst out with an aura that could not be ignored were not them.

"Qiu'er, are you okay? Qiu'er, how are you?"

There was deep heartache in Shen Yuan's eyes, and when his gaze turned to Shen Nanxing, it was instantly filled with murderous intent.

The two maids behind Shen Nanxing quickly stepped forward and stood in front of her.

When Lord Shen saw the expression on his son's face when he looked at his precious granddaughter, he immediately became furious, and his blood rushed to his head: "You son of a bitch, what do you want to do to Nanxing?"

Shen Nanxing looked at Shen Yuan with dark eyes, the man she called father.

She could see that he really wanted to kill her just now, but the murderous intent in his eyes soon disappeared completely. He lowered his head and said, "Dad, I'll take Qiu'er back to rest first."

After saying that, he no longer cared about anything, picked up the woman, carried her horizontally, and strode away.

Shen Nanxing hadn't missed the little tricks between him and Aunt Qiu. After his grandfather had scolded him, his eyes were fierce, and he wanted to say something, but Aunt Qiu gently pulled his arm, and he shut his mouth and said nothing. He also lowered his eyes, hiding the expression in his eyes.

There's something wrong with her father.

"Dad, my daughter-in-law is not feeling well, so I'm going back first!"

"Prince Jing, I am feeling unwell and will take my leave now."

Xu stared blankly at the man carrying Concubine Qiu away. She felt so sad in her heart that she felt as if she was being pricked by needles and could hardly stand.

Unable to stay any longer, she bowed to both Old Marquis Shen and Prince Jing, and left with the help of her maid.

Just looking at the back, it seemed like he was running away in panic.

The straight back of Old Marquis Shen was bent a lot, and the spirit of Qu Shuo when they met just now was obviously weakened.

He looked at Xie Tingyu and forced a smile.

"Yu boy, the Marquis's family is in misfortune. I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

Xie Tingyu waved his hands, his expression a little dazed: "It's okay."

Shen Nanxing looked at Uncle Zhang and said, "Uncle Zhang, please take Grandfather back to rest! I'll take Prince Jing for a walk."

Everyone had left, leaving only a few maids brought back by Shen Nanxing waiting by the side.

Xie Tingyu suddenly grabbed Shen Nanxing's hand: "Nanxing, where did you get all these return gifts?"
