Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 108 Mother and Daughter Plan to Fraud

Shen Nanqiao was taken away by Mrs. Xia without any explanation.

Master Xia followed the old lady to the kitchen to check the dishes. He was also a foodie, so he never minded the saying that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen.

The old lady didn't hesitate and arranged a job for Ning Su.

"Go to the east wing and ask Yunniang for some spices."

The Xia Mansion has always been like this, and Ning Su didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Besides, he was very familiar with this place since he was young, so he went there immediately.

It was a cold and bleak winter, and even in the garden that Taifu Xia had carefully tended, there was nothing much to see.

However, Ning Su was not in a hurry to leave. He was thinking about how to reveal some things to Shen Nanqiao without making any noise.

The little girl seemed to distrust the relationship between him and the prince, and repeatedly suggested making preparations for a rainy day.

But that’s all I have to say.

A lady's understanding of preparing for a rainy day may not be the same as his understanding of walking on the edge of a knife. How should he speak tactfully so as not to scare people away?

He walked slowly like this, with an unfriendly look on his face.

The maids in the house were all familiar with his temper, so they didn't dare to say anything when they met him. They just bowed silently on the side of the road and then left.

As it happened, in the corridor leading to the Moon Gate, there was a person blocking the way ahead and there was no way to dodge.

Ning Su was born into a martial arts family, so his reaction was extremely quick. He stopped in his tracks, but the man kept on taking a few steps forward.

Ning Su quickly turned sideways, and the man lost his balance and fell straight towards him.

I thought he might go to help, but he just stood there, not moving.

Miss Xia was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground, her palms resting on the gravel on the ground. She immediately frowned in pain.

"Why are you hiding?" She raised her head with tears in her eyes and looked at Ning Su unhappily.

Ning Su stared at the girl on the ground for a long while before he hummed softly.

"Ever since I took over the East Factory, no one has dared to use this method in front of me for quite a few years."

Miss Xia looked at Ning Su's expression, and her heart, which was already undecided, became even more wavering.

What her mother had just said to her made her fall into unprecedented shock. It turned out that her family had always been trying to get her to marry Ning Su?

Then why did you get engaged to the Xuan family?

"At that time, everyone thought he was a stubborn person, but I never thought he would get married one day." Madam Xia said indifferently, "Although someone else got the first bite, but I can't eat the meat, but I can at least drink some soup, right?"

Miss Xia was still in shock and asked subconsciously.

"But he...he is from the Imperial Household Department after all!"

Unmarried girls always speak in a roundabout way.

Madam Xia sneered.

"Are you afraid that he is inhumane? The emperor has never made his identity known to the public, and he has been looking for noble ladies for him. I originally suspected that he had already been castrated, so he was reluctant to do so." She paused, "But seeing that he actually married the daughter of the Shen family, it is enough to prove that there should be nothing wrong with him."

Seeing her daughter raise an eyebrow in surprise, she added.

"If it is really inhumane, marrying a wife is equivalent to giving someone a handle. Ning Su is a person who would never leave such a handle, let alone bring it to our house."

Miss Xia was still a little confused.

"Given Grandfather's reputation in the court, our Xia family doesn't need to rely on marriage to maintain its existence, right?"

Madam Xia looked at her eldest daughter lovingly. She thought that the whole family protected these children too well, which was why they could say such indifferent words.

"Every emperor has his own ministers. We need to prepare for a rainy day. A tall building will not collapse overnight. We can't wait until it is in danger before remedying it, right?"

This passage contained too much information, and Miss Xia was a little stunned. When she finally reacted, she suddenly cried out in a low voice.

"You mean, he has a rebellious heart?"

The memories were brought back to reality by Ning Su's cold words.

"It's just a minor injury, you can't get up, right?"

Miss Xia was already feeling a little guilty, and this sentence completely destroyed the little courage she had in her heart.

She looked down at the scratch on her fair palm, which was already bleeding, and felt a little aggrieved.

On the other side, Shen Nanqiao followed Mrs. Xia to the bedroom, muttering something along the way.

They were so intimate when they first met. Was it the family tradition of this mansion, or did they have other intentions?

Her experiences in two lives made her feel instinctively that she should be on guard against others. She also felt that Ning Su was also at home, so she estimated that the other party would not do anything out of line.

Then Madam Xia ordered her personal maid to open the box and take out a jewelry box.

After opening it, inside is a pair of earrings in the style of goldfinch playing with plum blossoms, matched with a gold-beaded gilded treasure gourd flower hairpin, a simple and clean headpiece.

"This set was given to me as a coming-of-age gift by your mother as a close friend."

Shen Nanqiao was shocked when he heard this. Is this his mother's headdress?

Then Madam Xia looked at her lovingly.

"I never thought that one day, it would be returned to its original owner, to her daughter."

Shen Nanqiao held the thing in his palm almost fondly, played with it for a long time, and finally returned it to Mrs. Xia with great reluctance.

"This is my mother's love for my sisters. I can't accept it." She smiled gently, "But thank you for your kindness in letting me take another look at my mother's relics."

Mrs. Xia was touched and a little moved, but she quickly wiped her eyes to cover it up.

At this moment, a maid hurried in from outside and whispered something in Madam Xia's ear.

The lady, who had always maintained a calm expression, suddenly changed her expression.

"It's really unfortunate. I have to go take care of some trivial matters. Please sit for a while, or ask the maid to take you to the dining room."

Shen Nanqiao was very perceptive and nodded immediately.

"Madam, please feel free to ask a sister to take me there."

So Mrs. Xia called a little maid and took her to the front yard.

The maid explained diligently.

"Our eldest girl just fell in the front yard. Luckily she met Governor Ning, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to stand up."

Shen Nanqiao's heart moved and she stopped abruptly. She had been working in the royal palace for many years and had seen too many tricks like this.

The image of Ning Su being hit immediately appeared in her mind.

Thinking of this, she could no longer remain calm. Without waiting for the maid to say anything more, she lifted her skirt and ran to the front yard.
