The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi
Chapter 45 Showdown with Everyone
Shen Nanzhi knew that things would not go smoothly, and might even be more difficult than she had expected, but she didn't know why, Xiao Chuyun's words made her feel at peace.
Shen Nanzhi nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for the prince's news."
Xiao Chuyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, then he let go of Shen Nanzhi's hand and turned away.
I don’t know if it was Shen Nanzhi’s illusion, but his back as he left was as straight as a pine tree, and his steps were very steady, not at all as shaky and weak as he had just been.
Before Shen Nanzhi could think about it, he had already turned around the screen wall.
As luck would have it, Qiuyue followed over at this moment: "Miss, the eldest lady and the others are waiting for you in Jinxiu Garden."
Shen Nanzhi also withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes to look at the thing in her palm.
It is the token of Zhenbei Palace.
Although Xiao Chuyun didn't say it, Shen Nanzhi guessed that it should have the same effect as the token of her grandfather's Zhenguo Mansion. Seeing this token was like the King of Zhenbei himself.
With this token, one can not only enter and exit the Zhenbei Palace, but also mobilize the Zhenbei Palace's personal soldiers.
Xiao Chuyun gave him such an important thing without any hesitation, which shows his sincerity.
Shen Nanzhi put it away carefully and then took Qiuyue to A Niang's yard.
In just this short period of time, A-niang and her aunts had already considered Shen Nanzhi's lifelong affairs in detail.
The eldest aunt suggested: "The Xie family is unreliable, and those who are of equal status don't dare to offend Long Wei and come to ask for marriage. In this case, don't consider any family background. If it's up to you, I'd like to find a son-in-law who looks good and has good character, and can treat Zhizhi well, just like a brother-in-law."
At this time, they still didn't know Jiang Shiyan's true identity.
As soon as the words came out, Shen Nanzhi's mother Shen Yanxin denied it: "No."
Once bitten, twice shy.
She didn't want Zhizhi to follow in her footsteps.
"Whether Zhizhi marries someone else or finds a son-in-law, it shouldn't be done hastily just to deal with the royal family's marriage. If Concubine Zhang's birthday banquet is unavoidable, why don't I take Zhizhi back to Jiangnan on the pretext of being seriously ill? If the royal family still insists on pressing me, I will have no choice but to write a letter to my father to explain the matter."
The Duke of Zhenguo loves Shen Nanzhi the most. By that time, he might not care about the fatigue of the journey and will drag his seriously ill body to Beijing to meet the emperor in person.
This is something no one wants to see, but apart from this, there is really no other way.
Before Shen Nanzhi came in, everyone was at a loss and silent.
"Aniang, several aunts."
Shen Nanzhi smiled, walked up to A Niang, coquettishly took A Niang's arm, and said softly: "Don't worry about this, I have a solution."
Shen Yanxin just thought Shen Nanzhi was comforting her, "You just returned to the capital, you don't know many people, what else can you do? You are just deceiving me to feel at ease."
"Mother," Shen Nanzhi said with a smile, "Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you?"
As soon as the words fell, several people opened their eyes wide and looked at Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Nanzhi wanted to say it directly, but then she thought about how she had just said yesterday that she wanted to marry Xie Changyuan, and the situation in the Zhenguo Mansion was like this today. However, only one day later, she turned around and said that she wanted to marry Xiao Chuyun. Even if she didn't say anything else, she was afraid that her mother would be shocked.
One might even think that she was treating marriage as a joke.
Moreover, although she believed in Xiao Chuyun, she didn't know what arrangements he would make. Should she bring up the matter immediately when she met the emperor today, or should she wait for the right opportunity? Time was tight and Shen Nanzhi hadn't had time to ask in detail, so it was not a good idea to explain it to her aunt and the others at this moment.
"Let's not talk about this. When is mother going to confess to my aunt and the others about the Jiang family? As far as I know, the disaster relief officials will arrive in Beijing in the next two days."
Moreover, Shen Nanzhi really didn't want her aunt and the others to be kept in the dark by the hypocrite Jiang Shiyan. When she heard them mention the advantages of marrying Jiang Shiyan, Shen Nanzhi felt sick, not to mention her mother.
Hearing this, Shen Yanxin lowered her eyes and sighed.
The four aunts happened to be here as well, but they didn't know the inside story. They thought that it was the old lady Zhao from the Jiang family who had displeased Shen Nanzhi a few days ago. They knew a little about Zhao: she was selfish, materialistic, hypocritical and greedy. She would take every opportunity to benefit from the Shen family. Although they looked down on such people from the bottom of their hearts, because she was a relative of the Shen family and Shen Nanzhi's biological grandmother, they just turned a blind eye and seemed to be at peace and treated each other with courtesy on the surface. However, if she bullied Shen Nanzhi, that would be another matter.
"Sisters-in-law, this has nothing to do with Zhizhi. I just don't know people well."
Shen Yanxin no longer concealed anything and told everything she knew about the Jiang family.
After hearing the last part, the second aunt, who had the worst temper, was so angry that she immediately rushed over to beat someone up.
"Jiang Shiyan is such a mean and hypocritical person! We are blind and we were deceived by him! And that old hag Zhao is bullying our Shen family to this extent! I will smash her mouth!"
The third aunt was also very angry. Although the fourth aunt was silent, she had rolled up her sleeves and stood up.
Fortunately, my aunt was still calm. "Don't be impulsive! It's because you were too impulsive that Xin and Zhizhi only told us the truth now."
As soon as the words fell, the aunts instantly became like eggplants hit by frost, but soon they all came forward and hugged Shen Yanxin.
"Ah Xin! My poor Ah Xin! Why didn't you tell us?"
Several people cried out of heartache.
Shen Yanxin wanted to laugh, but tears came first.
"I'm fine. It's all in the past. It's not worth it for a scumbag like Jiang Shiyan. But you made me cry again. But from now on, when we're together, we'll inevitably have to listen to people's sarcastic remarks."
After all, there are a group of widows in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and now there is a divorced sister-in-law. I wonder how many people will be given topics to talk about after dinner.
The second aunt immediately spat and said, "Are we the kind of people who care about worldly opinions?"
My aunt also said: "That's right, if you think so, then we have known each other for nothing."
Knowing that they still had a lot to say, Shen Nanzhi quietly stepped out.
She asked Qiuyue to go to the Jiang family to get back the compensation that Jiang Yanran owed her, and by the way, she inquired about the situation of the Jiang family.
In the past two days, the Jiang family has indeed not had peace and quiet just as Shen Nanzhi expected.
Especially after Zhao Wan got into trouble, Zhao's mouth was full of blisters. Jiang Yanran also ran out all day long and sent out all the people she could, but there was still no news of Zhao Wan.
Jiang Yanran just came back when Qiuyue went to get something.
After Qiuyue stated her purpose, Jiang Yanran was so angry that she smashed two teacups. But she didn't dare not refuse to pay because she knew that Shen Nanzhi would keep his word. If she displeased Shen Nanzhi at this critical juncture, she would not only have to take more money herself, but might even open a coffin shop next door. By then, the Zhao family would be so angry that they would die, and their Jiang family would become a laughing stock in the whole Kyoto.
When Qiuyue hugged Jiang Yanran and reluctantly took out a few pieces of jewelry from the bottom of the box, and described the situation to Shen Nanzhi in vivid detail, Shen Nanzhi did not feel the slightest bit of emotion in his heart.
What she wants to "return" to Jiang Yanran is much more than just this.
The reason why Shen Nanzhi hasn't taken action against Jiang Yanran yet is because he is still waiting for the right opportunity, and now it seems that it won't be long.
Shen Nanzhi didn't care about Jiang Yanran's apology at all. He just took a look and distributed the pile of things to the maids serving in the yard. He also deliberately asked someone to bring the news to Jiang Yanran. Soon, he heard that Jiang Yanran had smashed a few more vases.
They hated her to the core, but the next morning, Jiang Yanran still came to the door with a smile on her face.
"Good sister, I have compensated you for the things. It was all my fault before. Please consider that we are sisters and let's make peace."
Shen Nanzhi took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile: "I was never angry with my sister from the beginning to the end. I just took back my things. It was my sister who was angry."
Jiang Yanran smiled awkwardly: "It's all my fault. I heard that my uncle and his family will be back this afternoon. Since we have nothing to do, let's go to Shili Pavilion in the suburbs of Beijing to welcome my uncle. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and my uncle will definitely be happy to see his sister."
Shen Nanzhi put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Okay."
The two of them boarded the carriage that Jiang Yanran had prepared in advance.
However, when setting off, Shen Nanzhi did not bring Qiuyue with him, but only Lu Pianpian, who was thin and not even as tall as Shen Nanzhi's shoulders.
The three of them were riding in one carriage, so it wasn't too crowded.
Along the way, Jiang Yanran made small talk: "Sister, I heard that the Seventh Prince specially sent someone to give you a gift yesterday? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to you, sister?"
Shen Nanzhi lazily sat against the side wall and said casually: "Who knows."
Seeing that Shen Nanzhi was not in high spirits, Jiang Yanran continued, "Don't you want to be the consort of the Seventh Prince? I heard that he is the most favored prince in front of the emperor and has a promising future. If you can have such a fate, don't forget to remind me in the future."
Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi turned to look at Jiang Yanran, "Sister, what do you want me to advise you on?"
Shen Nanzhi's eyes were bright and clear, as if he really didn't hear the implication of Jiang Yanran's words.
This made Jiang Yanran blush slightly. She lowered her eyes and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "In ancient times, Ehuang and Nuying became a legend. We two sisters can also follow suit."
Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and said bluntly: "So, sister wants to be the concubine of the Seventh Prince?"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yanran waved her hands quickly: "Of course I don't mean that!"
However, if you think about it carefully, except for the position of the principal wife, any other title, no matter how nice it sounds, is still a concubine.
Jiang Yanran lowered her eyes and quickly said, "What I'm thinking is that even if the Seventh Prince likes my sister now, he will definitely have a lot of women in the harem in the future. Instead of asking outsiders to cause trouble for us, we two sisters know each other well. I can also help my sister. If we join forces, my sister won't be bullied."
Shen Nanzhi looked at her with a smile: "Sister, you really think carefully about me."
Seeing her agree, Jiang Yanran's face lit up: "As it should be, we will prosper together and suffer together."
But before her smile could fully bloom, she heard Shen Nanzhi say with regret: "But it's a pity that I won't marry the Seventh Prince, so my sister can't fulfill her wish."
Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Yanran's face instantly faded.
"what?"
She grabbed Shen Nanzhi's sleeve and asked, "I heard that Concubine Zhang asked someone from the Zhang family to personally deliver a letter to you and invited you to attend her birthday banquet. In addition, the Seventh Prince also gave you a gift. How can this marriage be postponed?"
Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and said, "If sister really likes the Seventh Prince, I can ask someone to introduce her to him. I think the Seventh Prince will definitely like you very much, considering your beauty."
like?
Jiang Yanran smiled bitterly. They had met briefly a few times, and Xiao Qian'an didn't even glance at her.
He did glance at her more at the Princess's Hundred Flowers Banquet, but her face was red and swollen and she looked disheveled. Although Xiao Qian'an glanced at her more, she could clearly feel the disgust in his eyes.
Besides, if it weren’t for Shen Nanzhi, how could she, with her status, be able to marry Xiao Qian’an.
identity……
Thinking of her identity, Jiang Yanran gnashed her teeth in anger.
She was obviously Jiang Shiyan's daughter, and she saw that Jiang Shiyan was about to fill the vacancy of the third-rank Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and become an important official in the court.
Her status should also rise!
But now she can only live in Jiang's house as her niece, and she even dares to call "Daddy" only when she is alone and secretly.
There is only one word difference between daughter and niece, but their status and treatment are completely different.
She's really had enough of this kind of life!
Why can Shen Nanzhi enjoy everything that should belong to her since she was born, while she can only live like a rat in the gutter, never seeing the light of day?
Even marriage, which was beyond her reach, was something that others simply disdained.
Jiang Yanran was unwilling!
She couldn't find any topics to talk about with Shen Nanzhi, and she didn't want to bore herself by continuing to ask questions. She just urged the driver to hurry up so as not to miss Jiang Shiyan's return to Beijing.
Shen Nanzhi leaned on Lu Pianpian and said vaguely: "Pianpian, I think I didn't sleep well last night. I feel a little sleepy now and want to take a nap."
Lu Pianpian quickly offered her little shoulder and assured, "Sister Zhizhi, lean on me to sleep. I promise it will be very stable and will not cause you to fall at all."
Shen Nanzhi smiled, leaned on her, and closed his eyes to rest.
The carriage continued to gallop on the official road.
After leaving the city, it will take less than an hour to reach Shili Pavilion.
But not long after Shen Nanzhi closed his eyes, Lu Pianpian also yawned, and nodded her little head like a chicken pecking at rice.
After they both fell into a deep sleep, Jiang Yanran asked tentatively: "Sister? Sister?"
Seeing that Shen Nanzhi didn't react, she pinched Shen Nanzhi's arm again, but Shen Nanzhi still didn't react.
Jiang Yanran was completely relieved now. She turned around, opened the carriage curtain, patted the driver on the back, and whispered to him, "According to the plan."
After saying this, Jiang Yanran retreated back into the carriage.
She turned her head to look at Shen Nanzhi who was sleeping, and then she gritted her teeth and said, "Good sister, don't blame me, your sister. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for blocking my way and taking away everything from me."
As she spoke, she turned around and took out two bundles of ropes from the secret compartment of the carriage.
After tying up Shen Nanzhi and Lu Pianpian's hands and feet tightly, Jiang Yanran became even more unscrupulous. She took a shiny dagger, put it against Shen Nanzhi's cheek, and said with gritted teeth: "Since you are unwilling to help your sister, don't you know that I will destroy your beauty, cut your tendons, and ask those scumbags to serve you well, will the Seventh Prince still look down on you?"
As she spoke, her eyes darkened, and she clenched the dagger in her fingers, ready to cut Shen Nanzhi's cheek, but someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Jiang Yanran was startled suddenly, and the next moment she saw that Shen Nanzhi, who should have been unconscious, had opened his eyes.
There was clarity in her eyes, without any trace of Chinese medicine in them.
