The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi
Chapter 31 He Saw It All
"Shen Nanzhi! Are you crazy?"
Zhao was so angry that even her breathing became a little unstable.
Jiang Yanran, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward to hold her arm and advised, "Aunt, my sister is young and she is of noble status, so it is normal for her to have some temper."
Zhao was already furious. Upon hearing this, she immediately called out to the two maids beside her: "This is outrageous! Go and ask the family law to come to me! I want to see if I can beat her today! Let everyone see what an unfilial daughter you are!"
The two old women were about to turn around after hearing the order, but were suddenly stopped by Shen Nanzhi.
"Let's see who dares."
She smoothed her sleeves and looked at Zhao coldly: "Grandmother, you can go and make a scene. It would be best if everyone in the capital knows about it. Let everyone judge and see how you took my mother's things for yourself."
Zhao said angrily: "What do you mean your mother's things? Since she married into the family, they belong to the Jiang family!"
So shameless.
Shen Nanzhi sneered: "What do you mean she married in? It's your son who married into the Shen family. Even if you build a new house, you can't change the marriage certificate with your words. Even if it was my mother's dowry, you Jiang family didn't get a share of it. You're not afraid of being stabbed in the back for taking your daughter-in-law's things!"
Zhao was very angry, but she couldn't refute it.
Jiang Yanran had to speak up: "Sister, we are all family, why do you have to say such polite words? During the time when my aunt was not in Kyoto due to poor health, it was my aunt who was busy taking care of these businesses. Now it is her fault. Aren't you disappointing my aunt by saying this?"
Shen Nanzhi looked at her with a smile: "Sister, you know that my grandmother and I are a family. Since we are talking behind closed doors, why are you here to join in the fun?"
Jiang Yanran's face turned pale, her eyes full of grievance. With red eyes, she pulled up Zhao's sleeves and choked up, "Auntie, it's my fault now."
Zhao was so angry that she slammed the table: "You bastards, you don't dare to do it, I will do it! I don't think she dares to fight back!"
While they were talking just now, although the two old women were frightened by Shen Nanzhi, Jiang Yanran winked at Mama Liu who was hiding in the corner, asking her to quietly bring the whip for torture, which was now handed to Zhao.
Seeing that Zhao had clenched the whip and was about to raise her hand, Shen Nanzhi smiled faintly: "Grandma, you should think carefully. This whip of yours will ruin your son's future."
What Zhao was most proud of and what she cared about most was Jiang Shiyan's future.
She really stopped, but still didn't take Shen Nanzhi seriously. "I'm an elder, so what if I hit you? No matter how powerful the Zhenguo Mansion is, I'm disciplining my own granddaughter, who can say I'm wrong?"
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "But you are occupying my mother's property and you attacked me out of anger. If this matter gets out, do you think it will affect his reputation? Now is a critical period for officials to be promoted. He did a good job in this disaster relief mission. He may be promoted when he comes back. Grandmother doesn't want to cause trouble at this critical juncture, right?"
No matter how confused Zhao was, she would not dare to be careless about her son's future.
If it weren't for her hardworking son, she would still be working in the fields.
Although she was a woman in the inner house, she had heard some rumors recently. The Minister of Revenue Gao Xun was involved in the Jiangbei corruption case that had caused a sensation recently. He had been suspended and investigated, and the position of Minister of Revenue was vacant.
Jiang Shiyan is already a fourth-rank official in the court, serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If he can make further progress, the Jiang family will no longer need to take the declining Shen family seriously.
Zhao's mind worked very quickly. In order to continue to enjoy a prosperous life for the rest of her life, no matter how angry she was, she could only endure it for the time being and wait for her son Jiang Shiyan to come back to see how she would deal with Shen Yanxin and Shen Nanzhi, the evildoer.
Throwing the whip back to Mother Liu, Zhao snorted coldly: "For the Jiang family's reputation, I won't bother with you for now."
As she spoke, she took Jiang Yanran's hand and prepared to go back to the inner room.
Unexpectedly, Shen Nanzhi stretched out her hand and said, "Land deed, land deed, account book, none of them can be missing."
Zhao was furious: "You!"
She may not bother with Shen Nanzhi for now, but those are the current sources of expenses for the Jiang family. Shen Nanzhi is trying to kill her!
Shen Nanzhi clapped her hands and said, "Don't worry, grandma. I only want my mother's things. I won't touch anything from your Jiang family. If grandma doesn't want to return them, I will go to Jingzhao Yin Yao to judge the matter."
If it really comes to that, and the Jiang family doesn't even talk about the things they have, then they will lose all face!
Zhao gritted her teeth and said, "Give it to her! Give it all to her!"
She now gets a headache if she looks at Shen Nanzhi for even a second.
Jiang Yanran looked unwilling: "Auntie!"
With so many industries, the daily income is a lot of money.
Zhao knew it too. She patted Jiang Yanran's hand and reminded her, "When your uncle comes back in a few days, he will make the decision for us."
Shen Nanzhi got her things back as she wished, and Jiang Yanran was so angry that her heart ached, but she couldn't do anything about it.
However, what made Jiang Yanran even angrier was yet to come.
Shen Nanzhi handed over a list that Qiuyue had listed. "These are the things that Sister has borrowed from me. Please count them and ask the maid to bring them to me later. Sister knows the rules and should not refuse to pay them back, right?"
There was a large picture with dense messages on it, which made Jiang Yanran's eyelids twitch.
Shen Nanzhi is always generous to people around him. When she borrowed things from Shen Nanzhi in the past, she never thought about returning them.
Jiang Yanran never thought that this day would come.
But Zhao didn't want to look at Shen Nanzhi any more, and said angrily: "Give it back to her, give it all back to her!"
This time Jiang Yanran really wanted to cry.
But Shen Nanzhi didn't even look at her, she just smiled at Zhao and said, "Grandma is the one who knows the big picture and takes the overall situation into consideration."
These words undoubtedly hit Zhao in the heart.
Of course, when turning around to leave, Shen Nanzhi did not forget to remind Mother Liu: "Mother Liu has really adapted very well here. It seems that leaving the indenture contract at the Shen family has somewhat delayed Mother Liu's recognition of the new master."
Mama Liu's indenture contract is still in the hands of Shen Nanzhi's mother. A slave who has signed the indenture contract belongs to her master, and her life as well, so she should not betray him.
Shen Nanzhi was also very curious about what reason made Mother Liu risk her life to do such a treacherous thing.
She hid it very well in her previous life, and now Shen Nanzhi doesn't mind giving her a push.
These words frightened Madam Liu so much that her legs went limp. She immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Please forgive me, young lady. I came to serve the old lady only because you ordered me to do so. I have no second thoughts about you!"
Shen Nanzhi clicked his tongue and said, "Who were you planning to whip when you came over with the whip just now?"
Seeing that Madam Liu guiltily pushed the whip she had just hidden away again, Shen Nanzhi didn't wait for her to argue. She ordered Qiuyu, the head maid beside her, "Since Madam Liu has brought all the whips, I can't let her down. Qiuyu, you will give her thirty lashes yourself. If she says one more word, you will give her one more lash."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Liu's face turned as pale as paper.
Zhao was so angry that her face turned red: "Evil creature! Evil creature! Unlucky for our family! You even dare to hit the people around me! Why don't you use that whip to hit me in the face!"
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Grandma, you are joking. This Liu Ma is a servant of my mother. My teaching her a lesson has nothing to do with you, Grandma."
After saying that, Shen Nanzhi was too lazy to continue arguing with Zhao, so she moved her fingers and said, "Thirty lashes, I'll leave after that. Otherwise, I'll stay here and talk to grandma for a while, and chat about family matters."
Zhao was completely speechless.
After all, Mother Liu was just a servant, so she was beaten. She didn't want to see Shen Nanzhi at all at this moment.
As for Mother Liu, she was already frightened out of her wits. Because of Shen Nanzhi's words that if she said one more word she would be whipped again, she didn't even dare to beg for mercy. She could only endure Qiu Yu's thirty whips.
By the end of the fight, she had fainted and was covered in blood.
Only then did Shen Nanzhi turn around and leave with Qiuyu, feeling satisfied.
She wanted them to pour out all of A-niang's stuff, and this was just the beginning.
But Zhao was not easily frightened. Shen Nanzhi frightened her with just a few words. Looking at the things she had obtained, Shen Nanzhi just told Qiuyu to pack up the things. When she turned around, she saw a carriage parked outside the Jiang Mansion.
It was still just an ordinary carriage, but because Mo Yi was standing next to the carriage, Shen Nanzhi guessed who was in the carriage at a glance.
Xiao Chuyun...Why did he come to the Jiang family?
Moreover, the Jiang family's house is not big, and the position where the carriage is parked is just right to have a clear view of the main hall.
Xiao Chuyun didn't know how long he had been there. He must have heard and seen everything, right?
When Shen Nanzhi thought about how domineering and arrogant he had just been, he still felt a little embarrassed.
In this world, I'm afraid she is the only one who would treat her grandmother like this?
I don't know how Xiao Chuyun, who doesn't know the inside story, will look at her.
Just as he was feeling awkward, Xiao Chuyun opened the curtain and looked at Shen Nanzhi.
"Miss Shen."
Today, he was wearing a wide-sleeved brocade robe with dark ink patterns and a white jade crown. Coupled with his already handsome face, one glance at him made the following words suddenly pop up in people's minds - peerless elegance.
Compared to the previous few days, his complexion was much better, but he still looked sick.
There were dark patterns embroidered on his collar with gold thread. Although he wore it meticulously, it reminded Shen Nanzhi of the time when she was hiding in the stone wall. She had accidentally glanced at him...
Thinking of the small cinnabar mole on his collarbone.
Shen Nanzhi felt panicked and wondered what was going on in his mind.
But on the surface, she had already walked over calmly and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I wonder why Your Majesty is here?"
Xiao Chuyun said gently, "I just sent the prince back. When I passed by here, I suddenly heard Miss Shen's voice, so I stayed for a moment out of curiosity."
It turned out to be the case.
Shen Nanzhi was embarrassed. What she had just done was indeed seen by him.
I don’t know how much he heard and what he thought of her.
However, before Shen Nanzhi had time to think about it, he suddenly realized: "You said my uncle is back?"
Xiao Chuyun nodded: "He had an accident on the road and suffered some skin injuries, but it's nothing serious, don't worry, Miss Shen."
My uncle was injured?
No wonder he didn't come back for his appointment last night.
Even though Xiao Chuyun said it was nothing serious, Shen Nanzhi was still worried and wanted to rush back to check on him immediately.
She said goodbye to Xiao Chuyun and was about to turn around, but suddenly she heard Xiao Chuyun calling her, "Miss Shen."
Shen Nanzhi turned back subconsciously and met his cold and calm black eyes. "Yao Qian, the Jingzhao Yin, is used to being a peacemaker. If Miss Shen needs anything, it would be safer to go to the Dali Temple."
He really heard it all.
Dali Temple is his territory now, which means he will help her.
He clearly saw her throwing a tantrum just now, but he still showed her kindness and help.
Shen Nanzhi was a little surprised.
She lowered her eyes and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Won't the prince think that I am bullying and domineering?"
Xiao Chuyun smiled, as if he was looking into Shen Nanzhi's heart, "Although I don't know why, but Miss Shen must have your reasons for doing this."
In other words, he believed her.
Shen Nanzhi had also heard similar words elsewhere.
In her previous life, Jiang Yanran imprisoned her and harmed her. When Jiang Qingyuan heard about it, he just downplayed it and said, "Yanran must have her reasons for doing so."
Jiang Qingyuan protects Jiang Yanran unconditionally and without principles because they are siblings from the same mother.
But Xiao Chuyun, who had nothing to do with him, said the same thing to Shen Nanzhi. How could Shen Nanzhi not be surprised?
Of course, she and Zhao had not yet reached the point of going to court, and she did not necessarily need Xiao Chuyun's help. But no matter what the reason was, he stood firmly by her side. This kindness alone was enough to move Shen Nanzhi.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
It seemed that apart from thanks, Shen Nanzhi could not find any other words to express her feelings.
Xiao Chuyun shook his head: "There's no need to be polite between you and me. Speaking of which, I also want to thank Miss Shen for helping me take care of Pianpian."
It wasn't Shen Nanzhi who was helping him take care of her. It was clearly Lu Pianpian who stayed behind to help the mother and daughter.
Shen Nanzhi was about to speak, but suddenly heard someone exclaim, "Sister Zhizhi!"
Shen Nanzhi turned around and saw that it was Lu Pianpian who was carrying a lot of bags and Qiuyue who was also carrying a lot of bags who came back.
The difference is that Lu Pianpian's big and small bags are all snacks bought on the street.
What's more, the things Qiuyue was wearing were all medicinal herbs she brought back from the pharmacy.
Lu Pianpian was holding a half-eaten sweet potato in her hand, "The prince is here too."
Seeing Xiao Chuyun, Lu Pianpian felt a little guilty and subconsciously hid the snacks behind her.
It looked like a mouse seeing a cat.
Shen Nanzhi couldn't help laughing.
I didn't expect that Lu Pianpian, who seemed to be fearless, was so afraid of Xiao Chuyun.
But Shen Nanzhi saw that Xiao Chuyun had a very gentle personality, so how could he be scary?
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly the sound of horse hooves broke the relaxed and joyful atmosphere between them.
A carriage came galloping and stopped outside the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in a blink of an eye.
Before he saw anyone coming down, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but frown just by seeing the sign above.
