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

"What's wrong? Sister Zhizhi?"

Seeing that Shen Nanzhi didn't look well, Liu Jingya quickly asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell again?"

Shen Nanzhi shook his head.

She is in very good health now. She doesn't know what method Xiao Chuyun used, but after recuperating for a few days, as she exhaled the depressed air, the pain in her lungs completely disappeared. Her current condition is even better than before.

I don’t know what price Xiao Chuyun paid. Shen Nanzhi originally wanted to come back and ask Lu Pianpian, but now Lu Pianpian is missing.

Not wanting to make Liu Jingya worry, Shen Nanzhi said casually: "It's nothing, I just thought of my cousin Changan's unrestrained personality, and I'm afraid he will find it boring."

Liu Jingya sighed helplessly: "But, we have to leave the day after tomorrow, and the emperor has appointed him, there is nothing we can do."

This is what gives Shen Nanzhi a headache.

There are so many variables in this life, and I don’t know whether Emperor Shunqing will make the Shen family the first thorn to be eliminated, just like in the previous life.

It stands to reason that given his concerns and constraints about the Zhou family, and his relationship with Xiao Chuyun, he shouldn't have acted so quickly.

Moreover, his first target was also the Zhou family, otherwise there would be no reason to arrange for Xiao Chuyun to go to Yuzhou secretly.

But this matter always made Shen Nanzhi feel uneasy.

But the autumn hunting was approaching, so she could only pay more attention and wait and see.

Shen Nanzhi talked to Liu Jingya for a while, and while Liu Jingya went to pay her respects to her aunt, Shen Nanzhi called Liu's mother over.

As the door was closed, Mrs. Liu, who was already a little nervous, became even more nervous: "Girl, are you looking for me?"

Ever since she failed to poison Shen Nanzhi last time, Mother Liu wanted to keep a low profile and didn't dare to hang around in front of Shen Nanzhi for fear of being discovered by her.

In addition, during the two days that Shen Nanzhi was missing, everyone said that Shen Nanzhi was seriously ill, so Qiuyu was the only one left in the yard. The other maids and Mother Liu were sent away. Mother Liu originally thought that Shen Nanzhi had forgotten about her, but she never expected that as soon as Shen Nanzhi got better, she called her over.

Shen Nanzhi raised his chin, Qiuyu understood, and quickly turned around and walked to the door to guard it, fearing that someone would hear it.

This situation made Mother Liu even more nervous.

Shen Nanzhi held a half-foot square brocade box in her hand. She was no longer perfunctory as before when facing Mother Liu. She pushed the brocade box towards Mother Liu and said, "I think Mother Liu will be familiar with this."

Shen Nanzhi's expression was extremely cold, especially her eyes. Mother Liu was frightened even by just a glance at her.

As she answered, she opened the brocade box.

"What is this? The girl asked the old slave to come..."

When she saw the things inside, Mother Liu's face instantly turned pale as paper. She even couldn't stand steadily and almost fell to the ground.

In addition to a longevity lock, there were also official notices, documents, and a confession paper with a bloody fingerprint...all of them were related to her son Zhang Haiwang.

Especially the longevity lock, which was put on by Zhang Haiwang himself when she was one month old, and she has never taken it off over the years.

Before Zhang Haiwang disappeared, she thought that this rebellious son was having a conflict with her. Although she was worried, she was not too anxious. After all, with the temper of your rebellious son, as long as the money was used up, he would come back sooner or later.

However, she waited for more than half a month and still didn't see any sign of him, so Mother Liu started to panic.

Now that she had seen this, she understood it no matter how stupid she was.

Zhang Haiwang didn't leave in anger. It was obvious that Shen Nanzhi had seen through all this and arrested him and tortured him to get all this information.

Otherwise, based on her understanding of Zhang Haiwang, he would never plead guilty if there was even a glimmer of hope, let alone write this confession by hand.

For a moment, Mother Liu felt heartbroken.

She was worried and nervous about her son's safety, and even more so, she felt terrified and uneasy after his old crime was exposed.

"This... girl... this..."

Mother Liu's lips trembled, and she hesitated for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Shen Nanzhi took a sip of hot tea and said calmly: "Not only that, I also know that you were coerced by Jiang Shiyan to drug my mother and me."

Mother Liu's legs went limp and she fell to the ground. "Girl...please listen to my explanation. I..."

Shen Nanzhi put down the teacup heavily and said coldly: "I am in a bad mood today, so I am too lazy to talk nonsense with Mother Liu. With the evidence I have now, neither you nor your son can escape death. I believe that Mother Liu is also very clear about this."

Seeing that Madam Liu was about to kowtow and beg for mercy, Shen Nanzhi raised her hand to stop her and continued, "Although you are unforgivable, you have served my mother for so many years after all. I am not unkind to our friendship. Here is a chance for you to make amends."

At this point, Shen Nanzhi paused, lowered his voice and said coldly: "I want you to go with Jiang Qingyuan to Qiuwei to hunt, and keep an eye on his every move for me. If there is any movement, report to me immediately. Of course, you can refuse, but your son has only one life after all..."

Shen Nanzhi didn't need to say anything else. Mother Liu was completely in control. She knelt down and said, "I am willing to make amends and obey you in everything. I just ask you to spare my life and let me work like a cow or a horse. I am willing to do anything!"

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "I will expel you from the Shen family later. As for how to gain the trust of the Jiang family, it depends on Mother Liu."

Mother Liu quickly agreed, but she was a little uncertain and said, "Miss, I left you. Even if they didn't suspect anything, they probably wouldn't assign me to take care of the young master... take care of Jiang Qingyuan."

Shen Nanzhi waved at her and said, "If you say a few nice words to Fuling and show your loyalty to her, she will definitely choose you."

What Shen Nanzhi did not elaborate on was that Zhao had always been wary of the maids in the mansion trying to hook up with Jiang Qingyuan, fearing that he would lose his body early. She was also afraid that he would spread a bad reputation and cause the noble ladies to dislike him before they met for marriage, so there was not even a maid in his room to do chores. On weekdays, it was the book boy Xiao Luzi who took care of the room.

This time Jiang Qingyuan was going to the autumn hunting field, which was not as convenient as in the Imperial College. In addition to the small route, Zhao also called Qin Mama beside her to take care of Jiang Qingyuan's daily life. But Zhao was seriously ill now, so Qin Mama would most likely stay to take care of Zhao. Moreover, Fuling was the head of the family. Compared with Qin Mama who was on the same side as Zhao, Fuling would obviously be more willing to see Liu Mama, who was loyal to her, go on this mission.

After all, Jiang Qingyuan is the future heir of the Jiang family. Fuling finally has the opportunity to take charge of the Jiang family's backyard. Of course, she is not happy to see a mother Qin gossiping around Jiang Qingyuan and affecting her status in the mansion.

"If you do well on this trip, I will consider letting you and your son meet. In short, I have given you the opportunity, and it is up to you to grasp it."

Hearing this, Mother Liu kowtowed to express her gratitude.

Shen Nanzhi waved her hand: "Get up."

With Zhang Haiwang in hand, Shen Nanzhi is not afraid that she will have any second thoughts.

Going to the hunting ground was different from the Jiang family. There were royal guards and palace guards everywhere. The secret guards that Shen Nanzhi arranged to keep an eye on Jiang Qingyuan had to act carefully. If their whereabouts were exposed, it would only cause more unnecessary trouble. This would lead to many restrictions, which was not as convenient as what Liu's mother could use.

Moreover, sending Mother Liu over when Jiang Shiyan broke up with her was reasonable and would not arouse suspicion.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Chuntao coming from outside to report: "Miss, Aunt Fuling from the Jiang family is here and said she has something to give to you."

Without asking, Shen Nanzhi guessed what it was, and Fuling arrived at the right time.

Shen Nanzhi turned her head and glanced at Mama Liu. Mama Liu understood what she meant and knelt down, crying, "Miss, I am doing this for your own good. Now the old lady is seriously ill and the master is angry. You should go over and admit your fault. After all, father and daughter are connected by heart. Let's just let it go!"

When Fuling walked in with a smug look on her face, she saw this scene.

Before she opened her mouth, Shen Nanzhi sneered, "You came at the right time. Look at this cunning slave! I brought her back out of consideration for our old friendship, but I never thought that this cunning slave was still loyal to the Jiang family. In this case, I will sell her off and see how she can still speak for the Jiang family!"

As he spoke, Shen Nanzhi was about to call someone in.

Mother Liu was so scared that she begged for mercy again and again.

Although Fuling didn't know what Mama Liu had done under Jiang Shiyan's instructions, she could see that Mama Liu had a say in Jiang Shiyan's side. Now that she was humiliated by Shen Nanzhi, she did not hesitate at all to intercede for her in order to please Jiang Shiyan: "Miss, she is an old lady who served the Madam. Now that she has been sold out like this, it is inevitable that people will gossip about her. Why don't you let me take her back? This will not only save Mama Liu from being an eyesore to you, but also prevent others from saying bad things about you."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows: "When did it become your turn as an outsider to interfere in the affairs of the Shen family?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fuling's face turned pale, but when she thought of what she had in her hand, she straightened her back and continued to say proudly: "Miss, you are right. After all, this is the Shen family's family affair and has nothing to do with our Jiang family."

As she spoke, she handed the document in her hand to Shen Nanzhi, and said with a smile as if she was watching a good show: "I forgot to tell you, young lady, I came here to give you something. My master doesn't want to see you, so he asked me to give this directly to you. From now on, our two families will have nothing to do with each other."

Shen Nanzhi raised his hand and took it.

As she expected, it was a document to sever the engagement, and Jiang Shiyan acted quite quickly.

Seeing the content above, Shen Nanzhi smiled coldly: "Okay, the things have been delivered, take your people and get out."

Fuling, who was waiting to see her show, was stunned and held her breath in her heart. However, not to mention that she was just a concubine of Jiang Shiyan, even if she was his second wife, she would not dare to act rashly in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Fuling could only grit her teeth and snort coldly: "Let's go! But, young lady, don't forget that we have nothing to do with each other from now on. Don't let the young lady think of it again and make a fuss about coming to the Jiang family again."

After saying that, without waiting for Shen Nanzhi to speak, she called out to Mother Liu, who was still kneeling on the ground anxiously, "Mother Liu, let's go!"

Shen Nanzhi couldn't ask for more.

It was already dark. Liu Jingya came over, said hello, and then went back.

Shen Nanzhi stood under the crabapple branches in the yard, frowning.

The day was about to pass, but there was no news from Lu Pianpian. Qiuyu came over to ask Shen Nanzhi if he wanted to have dinner, but Shen Nanzhi had no appetite at all.

Xiao Qi, the secret guard sent to the Xie family, has not returned in half a day. Shen Nanzhi was afraid that something had happened, so he wanted to ask people to investigate again tonight, but he saw Xiao Qi climbing over the courtyard wall and coming back panting.

"girl!"

Before Xiao Qi could calm down, he bowed and said, "The Xie family is heavily guarded, especially the backyard, which is guarded by many experts. I cannot get close to them, but I have heard that the fourth daughter of the Xie family, who was a little mentally retarded, is getting better these past two days. I am afraid that the daughter will worry, so I want to bring this news back first and then sneak in to take a look later."

The Xie family is also a poor family. In the past few generations, they have only produced one good candidate, Minister Xie. Not to mention that his family does not have much background, but they are also a family of civil officials. How could they have so many experts to guard the house?

The most important thing is that Fourth Miss Xie is getting better.

Shen Nanzhi's mind moved, and before he could ask, the clever Xiao Qi took the initiative to answer: "I have inquired around the Xie family, and the Xie family has not invited doctors to enter the mansion in recent days."

In this case, the possibility of Lu Pianpian being abducted to the Xie family is even greater!

At this moment, Mo Yun, who had been searching along the moat, also came back.

"Miss, I found another pearl flower of Pianpian at the end of Binjiang Lane."

As he spoke, Mo Yun spread out his hands, and lying in his palm was another red coral bead flower.

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi hurriedly lowered his head to look at the distribution map of the streets and alleys in the capital that he had studied before.

The back door of the Xie family is on Binjiang Lane.

Xiao Qi also told Mo Yun about his discovery at the right time. After hearing the last part, Mo Yun clenched his fists and said, "It must be at the Xie family! Miss, I'll go and see it myself!"

He also watched Lu Pianpian grow up, she was almost like his own sister, so how could Mo Yun not be anxious.

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Shen Nanzhi hurriedly stopped him: "Wait!"

Facing Mo Yun's anxious eyes, Shen Nanzhi frowned and said, "Don't you think it's strange?"

As he spoke, Shen Nanzhi took the pearl flower from Mo Yun.

"It's not surprising to find a pearl flower under the lotus pond before, but although the Binjiang Lane is remote, it is not unpopulated. Especially the end of the lane you mentioned is close to the moat, so there are more people coming and going. Pianpian has been missing for a few days. Do you think it is likely that such a large pearl flower, which is obviously worth a lot of money, is lying there, waiting for you to pick it up?"

Hearing this, Mo Yun finally calmed down.

Shen Nanzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the red coral bead flower, and said in a cold tone: "Also, don't you think it's strange that the Xie family has so many masters?"

Is all this really just a coincidence, or is it prepared for someone?
