After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

The courtyard was silent for a moment.

Many thoughts flashed through Shen Chongyan's mind like horses racing. He stared at the graceful girl in front of him with a heavy look. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, but he didn't know how to say a single word.

It was Ning Er who took the initiative to break the silence: "My Lord, have you been feeling better recently?"

Shen Chongyan suppressed his surging emotions and said in a dull voice, "I'm fine. Where's Ning'er?"

It had been a long time since the two of them had talked alone like this, and Ning'er felt a little uncomfortable. She hurriedly said, "I'm fine too. Sister Liuying comes to see me every few days. She said that I've been recovering very well recently. Don't worry, Lord Marquis."

Only then did Shen Chongyan realize that Ning'er and Liu Ying were very close.

Doctor Ge once told him that Liu Ying was a female doctor who was even better than doctors like them in terms of meticulousness, so he could feel at ease entrusting Ning'er's body to her.

Hearing that Ning'er was fine, he smiled sincerely. After thinking for a while, he asked Ning'er, "Would it be okay if I could change your yard in March?"

Ning Er was surprised and asked, "I live very well in Songshou Hall, why do you suddenly want to move me?"

She thought of the private conversation between Shen Chongyan and Old Madam Zhu, and asked cautiously, "But the old lady thinks that I am disturbing her peace and quiet by living here?"

Shen Chongyan didn't expect her to think this way, and hurriedly said, "Of course not." Then he explained to her in a low voice.

As early as when Ning'er entered the mansion, Shen Chongyan had planned to choose a separate room for her. However, Ning'er had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the people in the mansion. He was afraid that Ning'er would be neglected by the servants, so he thought of entrusting her to Old Madam Zhu for the time being.

"I was thinking, but now you are getting familiar with the people in the mansion. Although the old lady is kind, she is old and majestic. You are young. Wouldn't it be a bit restrained to live with an old lady?"

Shen Chongyan said carefully, "When you first came to the mansion, I couldn't find a place that suited my taste. Living in Songshou Hall would also make sense to both the inside and outside of the mansion."

"Now I have chosen a place and have found someone to slowly renovate it and decorate it according to your little girl's preferences. It is in the southeast corner, a small courtyard with three entrances. It is not very big, but it has its own door and house, very quiet. It is also next to my Delinzhai, so it is convenient for entering and leaving."

"Pick a few maids that you like. I've already picked a nanny who will help you manage the yard. You can do whatever you want in your own place, and no one will control or interfere..."

Shen Chongyan tried hard to describe the scene to her bit by bit, which made Ning'er unable to resist.

In fact, according to his original plan, he wanted to settle everything and choose a good day to let Ning'er officially move there.

But today, when he saw that the old lady was restraining Ning'er's actions in order to make him give in, he suddenly found it a little unbearable.

He could accept his mother using some minor coercion on him out of concern, but he really could not tolerate her indirectly using Ning'er as part of the means.

He brought Ning'er back home because he wanted her to live a peaceful and stable life and entrusted her to the old lady's care. In addition to considering her future reputation, he also had some secret thoughts of his own: he wanted this pair of grandparents and grandchildren to cultivate some feelings in advance.

But the last time Ruyao and Ning'er had a conflict, her mother sided with Ruyao without any hesitation or consideration of right and wrong.

This made him completely understand that before Ning'er's identity was revealed to the world, no matter what the old lady thought of her, she would never stand on Ning'er's side in the conflict between her and her granddaughter.

Shen Chongyan originally thought that as long as he showed enough attention to Ning'er, others would naturally be courteous to Ning'er.

But now it seems that the old lady is indeed very clear about how much I value Ning'er, but she is using this cherishment to force me to give in.

He couldn't help but make malicious speculations. If this was the case in front of him, then in private, would there be more things that would make Ning'er uncomfortable?

And she was so sensible that even if she was wronged, I'm afraid she would never speak up for herself.

When he thought of this, he felt like a thorn in his back and wanted to ask Ning'er to move out of Songshou Hall immediately.

Facing the Marquis' earnest gaze, what else could Ning'er say?

She could only nod and said according to her own wishes: "I will listen to the Marquis."

Ning'er tilted her head and smiled, but actually she felt that she was living a pretty good life in Song Shou Tang.

But the Marquis wanted her to live a happier life, and she certainly would not refuse his kindness for the sake of being so-called "magnanimous" or "sensible".

From afar, the painting screen saw two small balls of white light floating towards it. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be two mutton-fat lanterns.

She knew it was her aunt who had returned, and hurried to greet her: "Aunt is finally back, why is it so late? It's cold at night, and you are wearing so thin, what if you get caught in the cold?"

As she spoke, Huaping held Ye Zhen's hand. It was icy cold to the bone. She said anxiously, "How long have you been standing in the wind? Come in and warm yourself up."

She couldn't help but mutter, "The medicine has been rolled twice, Auntie, use it while it's hot."

Ye Zhen smiled as she watched her maid mumbling non-stop, and she cooperated very well by changing clothes and drinking medicine.

She was in a very good mood now, and even the bitter medicine soup that she usually hated to drink didn't seem so hard to swallow.

Huaping was surprised and said, "It's strange today. If she had taken medicine so happily every day, Auntie's illness would have been cured long ago."

Seeing Aunt Ye’s face pale from the cold, but her eyes still sparkling, she couldn’t help asking, “What’s the good news that makes Aunt Ye so happy?”

Ye Zhen took off her hair bun by herself, looked at the butterfly hairpin carefully, and then casually placed it in the bottom drawer of her dressing table.

She smiled and said, "It is indeed a happy event."

Ye Zhen was a woman with an extremely delicate mind. The moment she came out of the flower hall and saw Shen Chongyan, she knew that the Marquis had not won over the old lady today, and that Miss Song would definitely come into the mansion to be the new concubine.

She brushed her hair inch by inch, removing the scattered pearls and jades one by one.

With the emergence of a new concubine, the stagnant backyard finally began to move.

With Luo Miaoyun's temperament, she would never sit idly by and watch Song Qiuxin gain favor. She would definitely take action.

Once the action is taken, the fox's tail can no longer be hidden.

Ye Zhen recalled that when Shen Chongyan was about to leave, his expression changed drastically because of her words, and suddenly she fell on the table and laughed.

What's more, she said that she was the granddaughter of the old lady's mother's concubine's sister. With such a clumsy disguise, I wonder who she was trying to fool?

Just looking at the look in the Marquis's eyes, he probably holds that girl in his heart.

The Marquis must know something that they don't know.

Ye Zhen's smile was as bright as a young girl, but she probably knew something that the Marquis didn't know.

Ning'er, Ning'er...

Ning'er was born on February 28th of the Guiyou year.

Ye Zhen's eyes were frighteningly bright, and she just needed to be given a little more time to verify it.
