The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi
Chapter 68 The situation is tense
Today, Xiao Qian'an was wearing an indigo blue long gown with a double-breasted collar and narrow sleeves. His long black hair was half-tied up with a jade crown, and the rest was scattered behind him, floating in the breeze, making him look handsome and elegant.
But that expression was really not good looking.
"I was wondering why I couldn't find my third brother anywhere. It turns out that he is so leisurely and elegant."
I don’t know if it was Shen Nanzhi’s illusion, but Xiao Qian’an’s voice sounded a bit gnashing of teeth.
Xiao Chuyun turned around and sat down, glanced at Xiao Qian'an, and said in a cold tone: "It turns out that Seventh Brother also knows that he is a spoiler."
Shen Nanzhi didn't expect that Xiao Chuyun would be so offensive.
Hearing this, Xiao Qian'an's expression became even uglier.
He frowned and looked at Xiao Chuyun: "The emperor summoned you to the palace for an urgent matter, and Eunuch De couldn't find him anywhere. I reminded him with good intentions, but it turned out to be my fault."
Xiao Chuyun smiled coldly: "Seventh brother, you have found out my whereabouts very clearly. Do you still want me to thank you?"
Even Shen Nanzhi could sense the tension between them.
He didn't want to waste words with Xiao Qian'an, and since he was summoned by the emperor, there was no time to delay.
Shen Nanzhi stood up and looked at Xiao Chuyun: "Business is more important, Your Majesty, please go and do your work first."
As soon as he turned his head and met Shen Nanzhi's gaze, the coldness in Xiao Chuyun's eyes instantly faded away. His eyebrows and eyes softened, and he nodded and said, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he was about to stand up, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly turned to look at Shen Nanzhi, explaining: "Father is looking for me, most likely because of the matter of the Northern Barbarian envoy. It's not a serious matter, so there's no need to worry."
It turned out that he explained this sentence specifically because he was afraid that Shen Nanzhi would worry.
Shen Nanzhi felt a warm feeling. She was indeed a little worried just now.
Seeing Xiao Chuyun turn around, Shen Nanzhi watched him leave, and inadvertently raised his eyes and met Xiao Qian'an's gaze.
That gaze was naturally as cold as frost, but there were complex emotions in it that Shen Nanzhi could not understand.
Before Shen Nanzhi could think about it, Xiao Qian'an had already turned around and left Fuyun Tower one after another with Xiao Chuyun.
Shen Nanzhi then took a carriage back to the Shen Mansion.
Shen Nanzhi still had the title deed to the hot spring villa that Lin Lanyin had given her. She was thinking about asking Lu Pianpian whether the hot springs there would be good for her mother Qiuyue's conditioning. Just as she was lost in thought, she heard an anxious voice: "Miss Shen! Miss Shen!"
That voice sounded familiar.
Before Shen Nanzhi could think of anything, a little girl wearing a turquoise double-breasted skirt and double-ring buns ran towards her.
But before he could get there, he was stopped by the guard at the door.
Shen Nanzhi didn't remember who it was when he heard the voice, but as soon as he saw the person, he instantly remembered him.
It was Chuntao, a second-class maidservant beside Ye Qingwan.
When Shen Nanzhi was in Shangyang, she had a few good friends around her, and Ye Qingwan was one of them.
Her father was the prefect of Shangyang County. He took good care of the Shen family's old house and the relationship between the two families was pretty good.
Shen Nanzhi still remembered that the day before she returned to Beijing, Ye Qingwan pulled her sleeve and cried, saying that she would also find a husband in Beijing in the future so that they could be together again.
Shen Nanzhi just thought she was joking.
After all, Ye Qingwan is the apple of the Ye family's eye, especially her grandmother, who loves her like the apple of her eye. How could she be willing to let her marry so far away?
Shangyang is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and Shen Nanzhi thought that they would only meet a few times in the future.
I never thought that I could see Ye Qingwan's maid here.
Shen Nanzhi waved his hand, signaling the guard to let him pass.
Chuntao immediately flew over and knelt down in front of Shen Nanzhi.
Without waiting for Shen Nanzhi to speak, she anxiously said, "Miss Shen, please save my young lady as soon as possible!"
Shen Nanzhi was a little surprised: "Awan is coming to Beijing?"
She had only been in the capital for a short time, and Ye Qingwan had already come.
It happened almost simultaneously, but Shen Nanzhi hadn't heard any news about it before.
Chun Tao nodded hurriedly, "Yes, right after Miss Shen left, my master was transferred to the Ministry of Works. We just arrived in Beijing this morning. Miss wanted to prepare a gift for Miss Shen and meet her before returning home. Unexpectedly, she had an argument with someone in Yufangzhai. That person refused to give in and wanted to take my Miss to the police."
At this point, Chuntao trembled, "But we are new here, we are unfamiliar with the place, Madam and the old lady are still in Shangyang taking inventory of the family property, so they will come a few days later. Miss couldn't wait to see Miss Shen, so she followed the master here first, but the master just went to the Ministry of Works to report, and I really can't find anyone, so I can only ask Miss Shen for help."
Yufangzhai is not far from the Shen Mansion, just across the street.
This maid was also smart and knew to find Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Nanzhi helped her up and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, let's go over and take a look first."
As she spoke, she quickened her pace and almost ran all the way over.
Before she even reached the door, she heard Ye Qingwan's voice from inside: "This thing was fine when I put it down. It was clearly her who picked it up and broke it on purpose. Why should I pay for it!"
Opposite Ye Qingwan, there was a girl wearing a Xiangyun gauze skirt and with her hair studded with pearls, jade and emeralds, surrounded by several servants. She said with contempt, "You said I dropped it, but do you have any witnesses?"
The shopkeeper of Yufangzhai is also a man who knows how to treat people according to their preferences.
He nodded and bowed to the girl with a flattering look on his face, saying, "I really didn't see Fourth Miss Xie do it, but the bracelet broke after this girl left the counter."
As soon as the words fell, Ye Qingwan angrily said, "You are talking nonsense! I put it down in front of you, and it was fine at the time. You even asked me to look at the gold hairpin next to it. How come you turned black into white in the blink of an eye! I think you are clearly blackmailing me!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper snorted coldly, imitating the tone of Fourth Miss Xie, and said with a bit of disdain: "Miss, our Yufangzhai is a century-old brand. When we open a door to do business, we value integrity the most. You accused us of blackmail, but you didn't even go out to find out who our boss is! You'd better not make me laugh! I see that you are also from the countryside and don't have much knowledge. You should compensate for the original price of the jade bracelet and apologize to Fourth Miss Xie, and we will let this matter go."
As it happened, Ye Qingwan had rushed all the way from Shangyang County, and she looked exhausted, which was why she was looked down upon even more by these people.
Ye Qingwan was so angry that her hands were shaking. "You are accusing me based on your one-sided words! Do you think I can't afford to pay the compensation? I can't swallow this! Who is your boss? I don't believe it. There is no law in this capital!"
The shopkeeper sneered: "You don't deserve to know. If you don't pay, I will send you to see the official!"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and immediately two servants came forward, ready to capture Ye Qingwan.
Even Ye Qingwan was a little panicked at this moment.
The capital city is not like Shangyang County. That place is her father's territory. Wherever she goes, people give in to her and flatter her.
But what she didn't expect was that she would be wrongly accused on her first day in Kyoto.
"Wait!"
Just then, Shen Nanzhi arrived.
She let go of the hem of her skirt that she had been holding up all the way, looked Ye Qingwan up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that she was okay.
"Zhizhi!"
Ye Qingwan rushed over and hugged Shen Nanzhi's arm: "I knew you would come to save me!"
After saying that, she turned around and glared at the shopkeeper and Fourth Miss Xie, then said to Shen Nanzhi: "You should be able to deal with these rotten fish and shrimps!"
The shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything when he saw Shen Nanzhi. The fourth lady Xie, who was called, immediately cursed with a sullen face: "Who are you calling a rotten fish and shrimp?"
Ye Qingwan stuck out her tongue: "Whoever responds is the one who is talking!"
Fourth Miss Xie was so angry that she was about to explode, but she was suddenly met with Shen Nanzhi's cold eyes.
Shen Nanzhi ignored her and just replied to Ye Qingwan: "Of course, no problem."
After saying that, she turned to look at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Liu, what are you doing?"
When he saw Shen Nanzhi, Manager Liu felt guilty for a moment, but soon he remembered that the Shen family and the Jiang family had broken up, so he straightened his neck and looked up at Shen Nanzhi: "Nothing, Miss Shen, we have a troublemaker here, and I was just about to go to see the official."
"Is it."
Shen Nanzhi smiled slightly: "I think it is Manager Liu who is blind and deliberately causing trouble, right?"
Without waiting for Manager Liu to explain, Shen Nanzhi sneered and said, "I just heard Manager Liu talking about the owner of Yufangzhai. Hearing this, I am a little curious. As the manager, don't you know who the owner of Yufangzhai is?"
Shopkeeper Liu was startled, but he quickly straightened his back and said provocatively, "Of course it's the Jiang family, but Lord Jiang has divorced, so Miss Shen is no longer our young mistress."
Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi laughed a little: "So, you heard Ye Qingwan said she was coming to see me, and you wanted to step on Ye Qingwan and offend me, so you went to the old lady of the Jiang family to seek credit?"
When his secret was revealed, Shopkeeper Liu's eyes became evasive, but he still refused to admit it.
Shen Nanzhi was too lazy to argue with him: "It seems that Manager Liu is not well-informed. Yufangzhai has only been in the hands of the old lady of the Jiang family for two years, and it has become the property of the Jiang family. You are more daring than the master you lick. I just looked at the account book of Yufangzhai a few days ago. You have embezzled a lot in the past few years. I was thinking of talking to you in a few days, but you took the initiative to find me."
What does this mean?
Shopkeeper Liu was frightened.
Before he could react, Shen Nanzhi had already glanced at Ah Si who was following behind him: "Send him to the Dali Temple, and your uncle will naturally know how to deal with him."
"Yes!"
Seeing Ah Si coming to take people away, Shopkeeper Liu finally realized that what Shen Nanzhi said was true.
He shouted loudly: "This Yufangzhai is obviously owned by the Jiang family, the girl is just talking nonsense!"
Boom!
Before he could finish his rant, Ah Si punched him directly: "Bullshit! This Yufangzhai has been the property of the Shen family from beginning to end. As for the account book of your embezzlement, it has already been sent to the prince!"
After saying that, without giving him a chance to speak again, Ah Si simply and roughly knocked him out with a punch, and then dragged him out by the shoulders as if he was dragging a dead dog.
This scene stunned all the waiters in Yufangzhai.
Shen Nanzhi then smiled and said, "Tell me what happened just now. You should think about it carefully before you speak."
With the lesson of Shopkeeper Liu in mind, no one dared to cover up for her. They immediately started talking about how Fourth Miss Xie had promised Shopkeeper Liu benefits and they had joined forces to bully Ye Qingwan.
After hearing the last part, Fourth Miss Xie's face turned pale as paper. She could no longer sit still. She stood up immediately and said in a deep voice, "Nonsense! You are simply slandering me! I am too lazy to bother with you!"
After saying this, she turned around and prepared to leave with a few maids.
Unexpectedly, Shen Nanzhi turned around and stood in front of her.
After all, she had gone to the wrong place, and there were witnesses. Fourth Miss Xie felt a little guilty. She subconsciously dodged for a moment, then looked at Shen Nanzhi angrily and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Shen Nanzhi crossed her arms over her chest and looked Fourth Miss Xie up and down, which made her feel creepy. Then she raised her eyebrows and said, "I was wondering how I had offended Fourth Miss Xie."
Shen Nanzhi moved a little closer to her.
She is taller than other girls. Although she has a slim figure, she has a strong aura.
In comparison, the half-head shorter Fourth Miss Xie was obviously a little nervous, but she pretended to be calm and said, "We haven't even met, how can there be any offense? Stop throwing dirty water on me."
Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi curled her lips and smiled: "Really?"
"But Fourth Miss Xie just bullied the maidservant beside me, and now she is bullying my little sister. What's the meaning of this? I think Fourth Miss Xie likes to send people to see the officials."
Hearing this, Fourth Miss Xie trembled all over and took two steps back in fear. She looked at Shen Nanzhi with a wary look on her face: "My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, how dare you!"
"Pfft!"
Before Shen Nanzhi opened her mouth, Ye Qingwan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Zhizhi's future husband is the dignified King of Zhenbei! I thought he was a high-ranking official, but your father is a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which makes you look very capable!"
"you!"
Fourth Miss Xie was so angry that she was shaking all over. But what Ye Qingwan said was not wrong. She stamped her feet and said, "These are just the one-sided words of a few servants. Even if I see the officials, what can you do to me?"
After saying that, she pushed Shen Nanzhi away and turned around to rush out.
Shen Nanzhi could have avoided her little trick, but when he saw the hem of Fourth Miss Xie's skirt almost dragging on the ground, Shen Nanzhi changed his mind.
Taking advantage of the force of the push, she pretended to be unsteady and fell to the side of Ye Qingwan, but her feet were already on the skirt of Fourth Miss Xie.
Bang! Boom!
Fourth Miss Xie, who was walking very fast in a rage, had no time to react and fell headfirst to the ground, hitting her forehead hard on the door sill with a dull sound.
A group of maids panicked instantly and helped her up.
Shen Nanzhi had just "stood firm" in Ye Qingwan's arms. Before Fourth Lady Xie, who had fallen dizzy and recovered from the fall, could question him, Shen Nanzhi was the first to complain, saying in a cold voice, "Why did you push me?"
Fourth Miss Xie was so angry that her head hurt even more. She pointed at Shen Nanzhi and was about to speak, but she saw the light in front of the door dim and someone came in from outside.
