At this point, Shen Nanyi was absolutely sure that Mu Qizhou was really returning.

She suppressed the trembling in her heart and told the story that Mu Qizhou might have been banned. Even Mu Shicheng started to get excited.

"Great! That's great!"

He stood up suddenly and rubbed his hands back and forth: "Why don't you contact Taoist Master Wuliang and see if you can help Xiaozhou."

Shen Nanyi thought of Alu's instructions: "Dad, don't do it for now. Firstly, it concerns the face of the Lord of Taishan Mansion, which is Azhou's face. If people know about it, it will be detrimental to his return to the throne in the future; secondly, there is another mystery now. We don’t know who the man in black robe is. If Taoist Wuliang shows up rashly, it won’t be good to harm him.”

Of the four disciples under Tianzun, two are dead and one is missing, leaving Taoist Master Wuliang alone.

Shen Nanyi really didn't want to involve innocent people anymore.

Mu Shicheng smoked his pipe and thought carefully, and agreed with her opinion:

"What you said makes sense. I believe Xiaozhou will find a way."

It's just that the dignified Lord of Taishan Mansion was set up thousands of years ago. If it is known that he is now trapped in a restraint, how can he have the face to return to the underworld and become the Lord of the Underworld in the future? Even if he returns, how will he convince the public?

Mu Shicheng thought that Shen Nanyi was very thoughtful, and Mu Qizhou's face was naturally the Mu family's face.

His temperament means that he won't survive even if he stands and dies, so he must fight for this breath.

"There's one more thing I want to ask Dad." Shen Nanyi thought of Shen Cishan.

No one knows more about the grudges and interpersonal interactions between wealthy families than Mu Shicheng.

"I want to know the relationship and interactions between the Shen family and the Wang family.

I was sent to boarding school by the Shen family since I was a child, and I don't know much about the interactions between the two families.

Wang Ruhai and Shen Cishan are so close, the Shen family must be involved.

Moreover, the engagement between Wang Ziqin and I has been lingering in my mind.

I don't understand why my grandfather decided to get married like this?

Although I don't care, now that I think about the master behind them, I wonder if there is something hidden. "

Not long after she was born, she was secretly betrothed to Wang Ziqin by the Shen family's grandfather. Even Shen Ru didn't know about the engagement.

Is there any unknown secret behind the two families that needs to be firmly tied together by a marriage contract?

Speaking of these two people, Mu Shicheng's eyes turned cold.

After Mu Qizhou's death, these two people took advantage of the power of the Lord of the Underworld, Aji, and teamed up with Gu Tianming to kill the Mu family crazily.

If it weren't for Mu Shicheng's hard support, the Mu family's property would have been eaten alive by them.

"I underestimated them before. Compared to Gu Tianming's high profile, the Wang family and the Shen family are much more cautious.

In Nancheng, if the He family is a big tree, the Mu family is another big tree that can compete with him.

Our Mu family relies on the blessings left by our ancestors, and the He family relies on Ah Ji, the Lord of the Underworld.

For thousands of years, perhaps because each other didn't know each other's trump cards, the two families had lived in peace. "

He took a few puffs from his pipe and blew out the smoke ring. After the smoke cleared, he showed a tired face.

“But the strength of the Wang family and Shen family is not comparable to ours.

Over the years, the main business of the Wang family has always been shipping; the Shen family, too, started out in mining, but after several generations, not only did they not make the business bigger, but they lost a lot of capital. In the final analysis, it has something to do with the fact that their successors are not as good as the previous generation. "

He glanced at Shen Nanyi: "But the marriage contract is indeed strange. You see, in the marriages of wealthy families, the daughters marry first and the sons marry second. What they ask for is a strong alliance, and the marriage is all for profit."

But the Shen family and the Wang family are evenly matched. Even if they get married, they won't choose Shen Nanyi, who was abandoned by the family. Wouldn't that be a slap in Wang Ruhai's face?

If I had to choose, I would choose Shen Cishan’s biological daughter Shen Ying.

Moreover, in all these years, I have never heard that the personal relationship between the two families was so good that they could become in-laws.

Mu Shicheng remembered that more than ten years ago, Wang Ruhai and Shen Cishan even had disagreements over some trivial matters in the business world. For this reason, the two families even failed to see the king at the Nancheng banquet.

But for some reason, Shen Cishan suddenly appeared during the reception and openly mentioned the engagement. Only then did Mu Shicheng know that the two families had resumed contact at some point.

"Ayu helped me get back the engagement letter from the Shen family. It's half a parchment."

Shen Nanyi felt warm in her heart when she thought of the contents in the wooden box.

Those were all English's care and affection for her. He was worried that the Shen family and Wang family would bother her again in the future, and he even dug out the marriage certificate.

Mushi Cheng became interested: "Oh? Is there such an ancient thing as a parchment scroll for a marriage certificate?"

Shen Nanyi nodded in agreement. She also wondered why there was still such a thing in this day and age.

"You can show it to dad when you come back next time. I've heard of marriage certificates engraved on gold foil, but I've never seen them on parchment. It's quite interesting that the Shen family and the Wang family have half of it each."

"I think Ayu has not found the Wang family's half. It seems that Wang Ruhai's thoughts are deeper than Shen Cishan's."

Otherwise, with Jiang Yingyu's extraordinary ability, it would not be difficult at all to find the other half of the parchment.

There can only be one explanation. Wang Ruhai hid it in a very secret place that even he couldn't find.

But on the other hand, Shen Nanyi felt that this was vaguely unreasonable.

Since the marriage contract was so deeply hidden, it stands to reason that the Wang family should attach great importance to this marriage, but the Wang family almost never mentioned it, and Wang Ziqin didn't take it to heart.

Shen Cishan was the only one shouting from beginning to end, like a one-man show.

Since Wang Ziqin was imprisoned, Shen Cishan stopped calling.

No one mentioned the marriage contract anymore.

"It's also possible that Wang Ruhai lost half of the marriage certificate." Mu Shicheng thought of another possibility.

Shen Nanyi clapped her hands happily: "That would be great."

Mu Shicheng arranged for his men to keep an eye on the activities of the two families, but he was worried and sent bodyguard Xiao Hei to Shen Nanyi.

"Xiao Hei is loyal and honest, and has good skills. Let him follow you."

Shen Nanyi was a little embarrassed: "Dad, no need?"

After all, she is the goddess of Xishan, and her skills are second to none; besides, she is used to walking alone, so she doesn't need bodyguards.

But Mu Shicheng disagreed. He believed: "Gods and ghosts are not your opponent, but the human heart is the most dangerous. There are only benefits and no disadvantages if there are many people around you."

Shen Nanyi couldn't resist him, so she had to agree: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

In this way, after leaving the Mu family mansion, she got a driver and bodyguard.

*

As the name suggests, the little black man has dark skin and doesn't talk much.

There were no words on the way back. When he sent Shen Nanyi to the door to say goodbye, he asked:

"Miss, can the boss really come back?"

Shen Nanyi held her hand on the door frame and was slightly startled, realizing that he was referring to Mu Qizhou.

"Yes, it will definitely be." She was convinced.

Xiao Hei curled up his lips in a rare smile. This seemed to be the first time he smiled.

Seeing his figure disappearing into the darkness again, Shen Nanyi also raised the corners of her lips.

It’s great that no one has forgotten you, A Zhou.

As soon as the light was turned on, the puppy Habby ran towards her and circled around her feet.

Shen Nanyi touched its head and filled the bowl with dog food.

Eh... She was very surprised, why was Soul Eater's portion of dog food still full?

It's interesting to say that the mythical beast of the underworld has to follow the puppy to grab food.

No choice, Shen Nanyi could only buy two of the same dog bowls, one for each dog.

She raised the Soul-Eating Beast like a dog. Fortunately, it was not picky about food and would eat anything.

"Where did Soul Eater go?"

Hubby just barked a few times in dissatisfaction and then ate hard again.

Shen Nanyi searched around the room, but still couldn't find the soul-eating beast.

She stared at the empty balcony in trance: Could it be that she got tired of staying and ran out to play by herself?

Hey, my son can’t help his mother when he grows up.

The winter night wind was biting, making the curtains on both sides creak.

After Shen Nanyi closed the balcony door, she turned and went to the bathroom.

The water poured from the shower head above your head, taking away the fatigue and dirt from your body.

The water vapor was thick, and a layer of water mist formed on the glass of the shower room, seeming to isolate the bathroom from the outside world.

She immersed herself in the warm water and enjoyed this moment of tranquility to herself.

A sudden gust of wind made her shiver. Someone!

She grabbed the bath towel and wrapped it around her body in shock, her wet head dripping with water along her scalp, and murderous intent suddenly emerged in her eyes.

"Seeking death!" With a wave of his palm, the glass burst.

The person came very quickly, held her slender and white hands wrapped in cold air, and pressed her against the wall.

"Be careful." The low and hoarse voice was like thunder falling to the ground, exploding a pool of spring rain in Shen Nanyi's heart.

The raindrops are like big beads and small beads falling into the jade plate, sometimes turbulent, sometimes sad, and the sound is sad and makes people tremble.

She stared through the wet hair on her forehead at the person in front of her who she thought about day and night, loved and hated, and her eyes were red.

I don’t know where to start with a thousand words, and my mind is like flying through the clouds, and finally falls on her lips and turns into one word: "Get out!"
