The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi

He said he was afraid she would regret it.

These were clearly ordinary words, but Shen Nanzhi heard some ambiguity in them.

Her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably, Shen Nanzhi didn't even dare to meet the other person's eyes, she subconsciously looked away.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never regret it, unless..."

At this point, Shen Nanzhi paused, she turned her head to look at Xiao Chuyun, and said seriously: "Unless the prince meets a woman he likes in the future and needs me to make room for her, I promise not to delay..."

"will not."

Before Shen Nanzhi could finish, Xiao Chuyun said firmly, "There is no such possibility. My princess can only be Miss Shen, and I will never marry another woman or take a concubine in the future."

His eyes were firm, and although they were only half an arm's length apart, Shen Nanzhi could even feel his burning breath.

The temperature in the carriage seemed to rise suddenly, and Shen Nanzhi's heart felt hot.

She subconsciously clenched her sleeves, her face calm, and she lowered her eyes and said, "Okay."

After quickly sorting out his emotions, Shen Nanzhi spoke again: "However, there are a few things I need to clarify with the prince in advance."

The imperial decree granting the marriage has been issued, and they are already in the same boat. Shen Nanzhi does not intend to hide what he did before and the affairs of the Jiang family.

Xiao Chuyun listened patiently on the side. Shen Nanzhi also told her about her treatment of Zhao Wan. She was worried that even if Xiao Chuyun did not think she was cruel, he would say she abused the death penalty. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xiao Chuyun looked at her with eyes full of heartache.

He didn't even mention Zhao Wan, he just looked at Shen Nanzhi: "What are your plans next, Miss Shen?"

Shen Nanzhi lowered her eyes and said, "After Jiang Shiyan returns today, my mother will divorce him first and completely cut off ties with the Jiang family. I always feel that the Zhao family's massacre was related to Jiang Shiyan, but I haven't found any effective evidence so far. What I have is not enough to completely bring him down."

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun smiled slightly: "This is not difficult. Together with those hooligans and Zhao Kui today, it is already enough of a headache for the Jiang family father and son. Leave the rest to me. I am in charge of the Dali Temple, and it is also within my scope of responsibility."

After saying that, as if he was afraid that Shen Nanzhi would not agree, he added: "As long as Miss Shen doesn't think I'm in the way."

Shen Nanzhi quickly shook her head: "How could that be? Your Majesty has helped me so much, I can't thank you enough."

Not to mention anything else, as far as today is concerned, if Xiao Chuyun had not arrived in time, she would have had to work hard to negotiate with Jiang Shiyan and escape unscathed.

However, Shen Nanzhi also expressed her concerns: "It's just that the prince is in a high position, and I think there are many things to weigh and consider. I don't want to drag the prince down."

Shen Nanzhi is the type of person who can do things on her own and never wants to trouble others or cause trouble for them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the back of her hand, which was originally placed on her knees and subconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt, suddenly felt hot.

Xiao Chuyun placed his hand on the back of her hand, holding her palm gently but firmly.

Shen Nanzhi subconsciously looked up at him, but heard him say gently but firmly: "From now on, you and I will be husband and wife. Miss Shen and I should not be so estranged. If Miss Shen is willing, I will always be Miss Shen's support. If Miss Shen feels that I am an eyesore, I will retreat three feet away from Miss Shen and meet her within her reach."

His palms were burning hot, and the warm touch seemed to spread from Shen Nanzhi's fingertips all the way to his heart.

Shen Nanzhi, who was usually calm and composed, suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Xiao Chuyun let her go quickly.

Before Shen Nanzhi could recover from the shock, Xiao Chuyun was already sitting beside her leisurely, as if it was not him who had just performed such an intimate gesture, but Shen Nanzhi was just dazzled.

Xiao Chuyun said patiently: "Father has asked the Imperial Observatory to check for an auspicious date, and we can also prepare here. Miss Shen can tell Pian Pian all her preferences, and everything in the palace can be arranged according to Miss Shen's wishes."

Shen Nanzhi didn't have any special requirements or preferences, but when she thought about the cold Zhenbei Palace she had seen before, which was no different from a barracks, she thought she should indeed buy some things.

Since Xiao Chuyun had spoken, Shen Nanzhi certainly wouldn't be polite to him. After all, as he said, from now on they would be one as husband and wife.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi felt her cheeks getting a little hot, and she quickly agreed.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, we could already feel the prosperity and bustle outside.

Shen Nanzhi didn't know that during the time she followed Jiang Yanran out of the city, the imperial edict granting marriage and rewards had already arrived at the Shen family.

Outside the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, there were many people watching the fun, and the carriage that Xiao Chuyun took to send Shen Nanzhi could only go through the back street.

After watching Shen Nanzhi enter the Shen family through the back door, Xiao Chuyun turned around and left.

Compared to the hustle and bustle outside the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, the mansion was surprisingly quiet.

Except for his uncle Shen Huaishu who went to the Dali Temple for report, and Shen Changan who went to the Imperial College, almost everyone was in the front hall, but they all had frowns on their faces and did not say a word.

Although they had received confirmation from Shen Nanzhi yesterday and knew that she had a way to avoid being married to Xiao Qian'an, no one in the Shen family had expected that the palace would issue an order the next day for Shen Nanzhi to marry the King of Zhenbei.

Before Shen Nanzhi entered the room, the huge front hall was completely silent.

After seeing her, the aunts gathered around.

Aunt Yang asked nervously, "Zhizhi, what's going on?"

The servants were all sent away, and only their family was in the front hall. The aunt didn't have many concerns. She lowered her voice and asked, "Could it be the emperor? In order to completely eliminate the possibility of our marriage with the Xie family, he directly granted you this marriage? But, who else could it be, but the sickly Prince Zhenbei! What is the emperor's intention?"

Shen Nanzhi's mother Shen Yanxin also said: "I have discussed with your aunts and will write a letter to your grandfather. Zhizhi's marriage must not be left to the mercy of the royal family!"

However, Shen Nanzhi shook her head and said, "Mother, aunts, this marriage was my own decision and has nothing to do with the emperor."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned.

The eldest aunt said in disbelief: "Is this the method you mentioned yesterday to avoid being married to the Seventh Prince?"

Seeing Shen Nanzhi nod, the third aunt was also a little uneasy: "If you don't want to marry the Seventh Prince, you can't kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of your own!"

The second aunt was the most outspoken. She nodded and said, "Yes, the King of Zhenbei is indeed good, but he...but he...have you heard all the rumors? If you marry him, you must keep it..."

The words "live a widow" came to her lips, but she swallowed them down.

Although the fourth aunt didn't say anything, the worried look in her eyes when she looked at Shen Nanzhi said it all.

Shen Nanzhi's mother, Shen Yanxin, only glanced at Shen Nanzhi and turned her head away.

Obviously, she was a little angry. She was angry that Shen Nanzhi didn't discuss such a big thing with her, and she was also angry that Shen Nanzhi made this decision.

Shen Nanzhi had already anticipated everyone's reactions.

She let go of her aunt's hand, walked to her mother, and knelt down: "Mother, aunts, thank you for thinking about Zhizhi, but this marriage is a decision I made after careful consideration. The prince treats me very well, and I also believe that there is no one in the world who is more suitable than the prince. As for those rumors..."

After all, she is still an unmarried girl, so Shen Nanzhi's ears can't help but feel hot when she talks about these things.

But in order to reassure her family, she still lowered her eyes and continued, "The prince suffered these injuries for the sake of Da Qi. We are also military generals, so we can understand the difficulties of the prince better than ordinary people. Even if Zhizhi marries a healthy man, who can guarantee that Zhizhi and him will live in harmony and stay together forever?"

The Shen family couldn't accept this.

Everyone fell silent again. Finally, Shen Yanxin sighed, stood up and supported Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Yanxin, who had experienced betrayal and calculation in marriage, was more insightful than others. What happened to the husband whom she had chosen, who was outstanding in every way and who went smoothly in everything?

"Okay, as long as Zhizhi is willing."

Since my mother had agreed, the aunts naturally had no choice but to accept this fact.

After discussing this matter, Shen Nanzhi mentioned the plot against him by Jiang Yanran outside the city today.

After hearing the nonsense Jiang Shiyan said, the second aunt was so angry that she immediately picked up a knife and went to the door.

The aunt was trying to persuade her to calm down, but at this time she heard the doorman come to report that Jiang Shiyan had arrived.

The second aunt frowned immediately: "He still has the nerve to come here! I will break his legs!"

The eldest aunt had a headache. She held the second aunt with one hand and asked Shen Nanzhi's mother, "What are you going to do?"

Shen Yanxin nodded: "Sister-in-law, this matter started because of me, so let me solve it myself."

Seeing her firm attitude, Yang had no choice but to nod: "We are next door. If he dares to bully you and your daughter, just call us."

Shen Yanxin nodded, and then Yang took the others away.

Jiang Shiyan arrived soon, and with him was Jiang Qingyuan.

He must have just returned to the Jiang Mansion and hadn't even changed his clothes yet, but he hurried over.

Although he is over forty, he only has some traces of time on his temples. He has a tall and strong figure and is still handsome.

"Xin, I'm sorry, I came back late."

Jiang Qingyuan also stepped forward to greet her: "Mother."

This time, Shen Yanxin did not respond. She just looked at the hypocritical father and son coldly.

Seeing this, Jiang Shiyan took the initiative to walk closer and wanted to hold Shen Yanxin's hand, but she avoided him directly.

Jiang Shiyan was not annoyed. He turned his head and glanced at Shen Nanzhi who was standing next to him. He thought that Shen Yanxin was still annoyed with him because of what Shen Nanzhi said about him saying something wrong outside the city. He immediately explained: "Xin, I was in a hurry before and almost wronged Zhizhi. Yanran is my niece after all. In that situation, how could I, as an uncle, stay calm? Zhizhi is still young and childish. You can't be angry with me, or the children will laugh at you."

When saying this, Jiang Shiyan's face was full of affection, and there was even a hint of deliberate flattery in his eyes.

Shen Yanxin only hated herself for being so blind to fall in love with such a man.

She didn't even bother to look at this person anymore, and went straight to the point and said, "Jiang Shiyan, we are getting divorced."

As she spoke, Shen Yanxin took out the divorce papers she had prepared from her sleeve.

"Sign your name on this, and I'll have someone send it to the government office to stamp it, and our marriage will be finalized."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shiyan was stunned.

He obviously did not expect that Shen Yanxin, who was always easy to talk to, would actually take the initiative to ask for a divorce from him.

"Ah Xin, what do you mean by this?"

Jiang Shiyan took a half step back and did not take the divorce papers that Shen Yanxin handed over.

Shen Yanxin simply slammed her hand on the table.

She looked at Jiang Shiyan coldly, her tone was unprecedentedly cold: "It means literally, Lord Jiang is a fourth-rank official, you can hear it, right?"

Jiang Shiyan was dumbfounded.

He was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Why? Is it because I said the wrong thing in a hurry today? Are you mad at me? I can apologize to you and Zhizhi, but Xin, how can we just break up after so many years of relationship?"

Even at this point, he is still acting.

Shen Nanzhi almost vomited the food he had eaten the previous night.

Not wanting him to continue to disgust her mother here, and not yet at the right time to confront them and tell them the truth, Shen Nanzhi only raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Shiyan and said:

"Someone sent a secret letter to my mother, saying that my father was responsible for the massacre of the Zhao family in Qingzhou a few years ago."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiyan's face suddenly changed: "Nonsense! You believe such obvious slander."

Although he tried his best to deny it, Shen Nanzhi still caught the panic that flashed across his eyes at that moment.

As expected, her guess was correct. Jiang Shiyan was definitely involved in the massacre of the Zhao and Jiang families in their old houses!

However, there is no definite evidence yet, so Shen Nanzhi only said: "At first, my mother and I didn't believe it, but it is also said that my brother is my father's biological son."

This time, not only Jiang Shiyan looked pale, but even Jiang Qingyuan looked a little unnatural.

The father and son quickly denied it, but Shen Nanzhi just smiled and said, "I also think it's impossible, but the other party said that my father has a daughter. As for who it is, the letter didn't mention it, but the letter also said that he has key witnesses and evidence of the Zhao family's massacre. He believes in the character of the Shen family and is willing to hand them over to the Shen family to let the Shen family do justice for him. However, there is a prerequisite."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shiyan's eyes lit up and he blurted out, "What premise?"

If he was wrongly accused, shouldn't his first reaction be denial?

Perhaps he realized this as soon as he said this, and immediately denied it: "This person is simply talking nonsense, he is trying to sow discord between us, Ah Xin, you must not believe it."

Shen Yanxin cooperated with Shen Nanzhi in acting and just sighed without saying anything.

Shen Nanzhi at the side said slowly: "Mother doesn't believe it either, but she is also afraid that the man might really fabricate evidence that is indistinguishable from the real thing, and then put the blame on father. What should we do then?"

These words touched Jiang Shiyan's heart, and he nodded in agreement: "That's right, Zhizhi, where is the secret letter? What do you want him to hand over the evidence?"

Shen Nanzhi shook his head: "Mother was afraid that others would see it and ruin father's reputation, so she burned the secret letter immediately. As for the evidence, the other party said that he would have to see mother and father divorce and see you break up before he would completely trust the Shen family and be willing to hand over the evidence and witnesses. Otherwise..."

Shen Nanzhi paused at this point, she looked up at Jiang Qingyuan meaningfully, and then said, "He said that if not, he would send the evidence and witnesses along with my brother's biological mother to the Ministry of Justice."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiyan and Jiang Qingyuan, father and son, changed their expressions instantly.
