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

After all, it was well-intentioned, and Shen Nanzhi really needed these now, so there was no need to be hard on herself.

She bowed to Xiao Huaimin from a distance as a way of thanking him.

Seeing her nod knowingly, Xiao Huaimin turned and entered the yamen.

Qiuyu also took the hot water bottle and cloak from the servant.

With these two things, Shen Nanzhi, who had felt like he was in an ice cellar, finally felt better.

Led by the servant, she and Qiuyu quickly arrived at the dungeon.

The dungeon was just as the servant had described, cold and damp. The further one went in, the biting wind seemed to rush up along the soles of one's feet, and Shen Nanzhi was so cold that he couldn't help but shiver.

I don’t know how long I walked, passing through a long corridor where I could hardly see the sunlight, before I finally arrived outside the cell where Jiang Shiyan was imprisoned.

The dungeon was dirty and smelly, and there wasn't even a bed, only a roll of straw mat.

Unlike the always bright and elegant Jiang Shiyan in the past, the Jiang Shiyan in front of him was wearing a dirty prisoner uniform and sitting cross-legged against the wall.

Hearing the noise, he slowly opened his eyes, and his originally cloudy eyes suddenly turned blood red the moment he saw Shen Nanzhi.

"You still have the nerve to come here!"

He stared at Shen Nanzhi, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred.

If that hatred had substance, Shen Nanzhi would have been tortured to death by his gaze by now.

Seeing this, the servant who brought Shen Nanzhi here had a gloomy face and was about to grab the whip beside him to punish him, but he heard Shen Nanzhi said indifferently: "It's okay, please help me keep watch, I have a few words to say to him."

As he said that, Qiu Yu quickly stuffed a heavy purse into the servant's pocket. Unexpectedly, the servant refused repeatedly and said in panic, "How dare I accept Miss Shen's things? Miss Shen, rest assured, I will go to the outside of the corridor to guard and make sure no one comes to disturb Miss Shen."

This man should be the confidant of the eldest prince Xiao Huaimin. He was determined not to accept the silver that Qiuyu handed over.

In this case, Shen Nanzhi did not force it. She nodded gratefully: "Thank you."

After saying that, Shen Nanzhi turned around and looked at Jiang Shiyan, who was full of hatred for her: "Didn't Lord Jiang ask me to come? After all, we have a blood relationship. I am here to see Lord Jiang off for the last time."

Shen Nanzhi knew that people like Jiang Shiyan would never repent, so he asked the Ministry of Justice to take the news to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with such fanfare, just because he was sure that Shen Nanzhi would not do as he wished, so he used kidnapping to let people see Shen Nanzhi's unfilial and cold-heartedness.

I never thought that Shen Nanzhi would really come.

Until his death, he would trample on Shen Nanzhi, wishing that Shen Nanzhi would never be able to stand up again.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi's eyes turned even colder as he looked at him.

Jiang Shiyan roared, "Get out of here!"

Shen Nanzhi sneered, "You are about to die, why is Lord Jiang so angry? Oh, by the way, I forgot that you have been dismissed and are no longer an official of the court, but we have severed our father-daughter relationship. What should I call you? Forget it, you are not going to live anyway, and there is no one to see you off. I will call you father twice, as a way of sending you off."

Because of hatred, Jiang Shiyan's face looked almost distorted.

"How could I have given birth to such a heartless person like you! If I had known earlier, I should have strangled you to death!"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi smiled faintly: "In that case, I have to thank you for showing mercy. It's worth it that I came here specially to bring you good news."

Jiang Shiyan clenched his fists tightly: "What good news can you bring! You are just hoping that I will die sooner!"

Shen Nanzhi looked at him coldly: "Dad, you are quite self-aware."

Jiang Shiyan gnashed his teeth and said, "You little bastard! You are so rebellious, you will be punished by God sooner or later!"

Shen Nanzhi said unconcernedly, "Even if there is to be divine punishment, it should fall on you first! Not only did you deceive the Shen family into marriage, you even tried to murder my mother. Everything that happened today is your own fault."

"You brought this upon yourself?" Jiang Shiyan seemed to have heard a huge joke. Not only did he not feel guilty, but he turned the tables and said, "What kind of life have I led in the Shen family these years! A son-in-law! I can't even hold my head up. No matter how capable I am or how quickly I get promoted, I am looked down upon by the world. Your Shen family only has the current prominent status because of the military merits of your ancestors. Why do you look down on me!"

Shen Nanzhi was also amused by this remark: "No one in the Shen family has ever looked down on you, it's just your sensitivity and inferiority complex that are at work. What's more, did the Shen family force you to become a son-in-law? This is how people view son-in-laws. How can the Shen family control the gossip outside? Besides, didn't you choose this path from the beginning? You even hid Zhao Wan and her son in order to successfully marry into the Shen family. Now you have the nerve to blame the Shen family."

Speaking of this, Shen Nanzhi wished he could poke a few more holes in him.

It's totally impossible to reason with such a person.

He has his own logic.

Shen Nanzhi was too lazy to argue with him and just spat, "You are simply the most shameless, selfish and complacent person I have ever met."

Jiang Shiyan was also very angry. He also knew that he would not be able to reach a conclusion by arguing with Shen Nanzhi, so he simply turned his head away, not wanting to see Shen Nanzhi's appearance at all.

Shen Nanzhi didn't want to see him even more. If she looked at him for one more second, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help feeling nauseous.

Although there was only a thick prison door between the two of them, it was like a natural moat.

Perhaps Shen Nanzhi's eyes were too cold, which made Jiang Shiyan feel uneasy. He turned around and glared at Shen Nanzhi fiercely: "Don't be too proud. You, the good days of your Shen family are over. In a few days, you will all have to accompany me underground."

Shen Nanzhi gathered the cloak on his shoulders and said calmly, "Then you just wait."

Seeing that she didn't take his threats seriously, Jiang Shiyan couldn't help but sneer, "Where do you think those drugs that make blind bears crazy come from?"

He thought Shen Nanzhi didn't know yet, so he waited to see Shen Nanzhi's panicked expression, but Shen Nanzhi didn't even frown, and said lightly: "It's a secret medicine from the palace, I guessed it at the time."

Jiang Shiyan was shocked by Shen Nanzhi's reaction: "You know? Then do you know who is behind this?"

However, Shen Nanzhi smiled faintly: "So what? Can he protect you?"

Back then in the hunting ground, Shen Nanzhi was tricked by Jiang Qingyuan using the powder. When Shen Nanzhi saw the powder, he thought that there might be the shadow of Emperor Shunqing in it, but it was just a guess at first. Now it has been confirmed by Jiang Shiyan.

Moreover, after being reminded by Jiang Shiyan, Shen Nanzhi suddenly thought that perhaps Wang Miaoyu's favor was not accidental.

Emperor Shunqing was merely taking this opportunity to give the other members of the Jiang family a chance to live.

With Emperor Shunqing's cold temper, it might not be out of mercy. He most likely wanted to use this to shut Jiang Shiyan up, and at the same time, not to disappoint his trusted followers.

Jiang Shiyan was interrupted and said unconvincedly, "So what? Since you have guessed it, you should also know that your Shen family will not last for many days!"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi took a step forward and simply squatted down in front of his cell door, lowering his voice and saying, "Father, you have been locked up in here for a few days, so you probably don't know the situation outside. Let's not talk about anything else. The emperor set the wedding date for me and the King of Zhenbei this morning, and it was chosen on the tenth day of May. With such an urgent date, you should have thought that it was unusual."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shiyan's eyes froze.

He has been working in the court for so many years and knows a lot about the situation and direction of the court. Of course, he should know that if Emperor Shunqing really wanted to kill the Shen family, he would definitely not facilitate the marriage of Shen Nanzhi and Xiao Chuyun at this time to add strength to the Shen family, and he would not choose the wedding date so hastily.

There is only one reason why he did this... He needs the Shen family, and he urgently needs to win over the Shen family!

"How can this be!"

Seeing that Jiang Shiyan couldn't say anything else, Shen Nanzhi continued: "Also, I have good news for you. I found your old lover for you."

Seeing that Jiang Shiyan hadn't reacted yet, Shen Nanzhi said, "After all, I gave birth to your son and daughter Jiang Qingyuan and Jiang Yanran. How could you forget about me so quickly?"

"Zhao Wan!"

When Zhao Wan was mentioned, Jiang Shiyan could no longer remain calm and he crawled towards the prison door.

Shen Nanzhi took a step back and missed his chance.

"Where is she?" Jiang Shiyan roared, and then he realized: "No, how can you be so kind! What did you do to her?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Father, how can you look at me like this! Aunt Wan was kidnapped, her tendons were cut, she couldn't speak, and she was even poisoned like my mother. I felt sorry for her so I settled her down and found someone to serve her personally. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell Father before that I settled her down in the house next to the Jiang Mansion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shiyan suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Shen Nanzhi continued in a sarcastic tone, "Look at my memory. I should have told Dad at the beginning. But at that time, Dad had just returned from disaster relief, and Jiang Yanran had another problem. Dad was so busy with the Jiang family's affairs that he was overwhelmed. So I didn't have the heart to tell Dad about it. It's my fault."

Hearing this, he realized that Zhao Wan, whom he had been looking for with great difficulty, was right next door. She had witnessed the decline of the Jiang family from beginning to end. Not to mention the miserable condition of Jiang Yanran and Jiang Qingyuan, he also knew that he had several concubines... Jiang Shiyan's face turned pale, and with a violent heaving of his chest, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Evil obstacle! Evil obstacle!"

Although he was selfish and cold-hearted, in comparison, he was somewhat sincere towards Zhao Wan and really cared for her two children.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been willing to risk their future and do so many evil things just to cover up their scandal.

But this sincerity is not much, it can't compare to the soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms. Qin Suyi's calculations, plus Zhao's instigation, can make him collect one after another.

Shen Nanzhi stood up and looked at him coldly: "Aunt Wan is already in a very weak state and won't live for many days. Although Dad is waiting for the Shen family on the road to the underworld, he can continue to accompany Aunt Wan, and your family can be reunited."

"Shen Nanzhi! You must have done it all! You did it on purpose, right? I'm going to kill you!"

This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Jiang Shiyan kept banging his head against the prison door, wanting to die together with Shen Nanzhi like a madman.

Now that the topic has been brought up, Shen Nanzhi is too lazy to waste words with him.

She took two steps back, turned around and walked away. The corridor was narrow, dark and long. Shen Nanzhi continued to move forward towards the exit where light was pouring in, while Jiang Shiyan was destined to fall into darkness forever.

The little father-daughter relationship between them was completely severed after his death.

The worry about the Jiang family that had been weighing on Shen Nanzhi's heart for a long time was finally thrown away.

Zhao Wan, Jiang Yanran, Jiang Qingyuan, Jiang Shiyan, she finally made them all pay the price they deserved!

From then on, she and her mother's life was full of glory, and these dregs were supposed to rot in the ground.

When Shen Nanzhi came out of the dungeon, he discovered that it was raining outside.

It was drizzling and the whole world was covered in smoke and fog.

The servant guarding outside has already prepared an oil-paper umbrella.

Qiuyu held the umbrella over Shen Nanzhi's head and said distressedly, "Girl, let's go back."

She thought Shen Nanzhi would be angry because of Jiang Shiyan's meanness, or sad because of Jiang Shiyan's death.

But it doesn't.

Shen Nanzhi's heart was as calm as still water.

I've been out for so long, and I don't know if Xiao Chuyun has returned.

It's time to go home early.

With Xiao Chuyun's intelligence network, he must have known their wedding date. Thinking that the wedding would be in more than a month, Shen Nanzhi didn't know what kind of expression Xiao Chuyun would have when he heard the news. The image of Xiao Chuyun's smile emerged in Shen Nanzhi's mind.

"Let's go, go back."

As he spoke, Shen Nanzhi quickened his pace and left the Ministry of Justice with Qiu Yu.

Asi's carriage was still waiting outside.

The eldest prince Xiao Huaimin's people were very efficient. While delivering oil-paper umbrellas to Shen Nanzhi and Qiuyu, they also took care of the coachman Asi who was waiting outside and gave him a straw raincoat.

Shen Nanzhi took Qiuyu on the carriage and headed straight for the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Although the rain was not heavy, the road was slippery and difficult to walk on. Moreover, the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, most of them walking with their heads down while holding umbrellas. They almost collided with the carriage several times, so Asi had to slow down.

The wind outside was bitingly cold, blowing up the curtains of the carriage. Qiuyu was afraid that Shen Nanzhi would catch a cold, so she reached out to grab the curtains. Shen Nanzhi raised his eyes at this moment and saw a familiar figure hurried out of the pharmacy across the street.

Everyone else was holding an umbrella, except that man. He seemed to be in a hurry, with a frown on his face and hurried steps. He just came out of the pharmacy and was about to get on his horse.

Shen Nanzhi subconsciously raised his hand and pressed Qiu Yu's wrist as she was about to pull down the carriage curtain.

At this time, the man also saw the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Shen Nanzhi took the initiative to speak: "Commander Xiao."
