Lu Pianpian paused as she was sorting the needle bag. She frowned and thought for a moment, "It looks like it should be, but I don't know what the situation was at the time. Later I asked my godfather, and he just told me not to interfere. Besides, the prince didn't ask me to watch it, so I couldn't do anything about it."

Shen Nanzhi asked curiously, "Have you and your daughter known the prince for a long time?"

Lu Pianpian nodded: "Of course, the prince picked it up."

This made Shen Nanzhi a little surprised.

Lu Pianpian was probably a little full, and she couldn't stop burping after saying a few words.

She asked Shen Nanzhi with her eyes, and after getting Shen Nanzhi's permission, she raised her hand and poured herself a cup of hot tea.

After she recovered, she heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "I heard from my godfather that a sudden snowstorm hit Jiangnan that year, freezing many people to death. My parents died at that time. It was the prince who dug me out of the snow pit and gave me to godfather for treatment, which saved my life."

Shen Nanzhi naturally remembered the snowstorm that year, but she was in the Shen family mansion, wearing thick brocade clothes and fox fur, warming herself by a charcoal fire, with servants serving her on both sides. At that time, she was too young to know how cruel the snowstorm was to the poor people.

That was seven or eight years ago.

Shen Nanzhi didn't expect that Xiao Chuyun met Doctor Lu at that time and saved Lu Pianpian's life.

and many more!

Xiao Chuyun saved Lu Pianpian at that time... This shows that he had also been to Jiangnan.

Shen Nanzhi remembered that she had casually asked him in the carriage if he had ever been to Jiangnan, but he did not answer.

At that time, she also felt that her question was unnecessary.

After all, he was a prince raised in the deep palace. He had never left Kyoto before he went to war at the age of sixteen. How could he have been to Jiangnan, thousands of miles away?

But as Lu Pianpian said, he really had been there.

Is there some reason here that Shen Nanzhi doesn't know?

Only now did Shen Nanzhi realize that she knew very little about Xiao Chuyun.

But I thought of what he asked before - Miss Shen, have we met somewhere before?

But Jiangnan is so big, with countless states and counties under it, so it may not be such a coincidence.

Shen Nanzhi looked at Lu Pianpian: "Where are you from?"

Lu Pianpian took a sip of hot tea: Shangyang County, from Qinghe County.

Shen Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat.

What a coincidence.

The Shen family’s old house is located in Shangyang County, Qinghe County.

Could it be that she and Xiao Chuyun had really met before?

But why doesn't she have any impression at all?

Xiao Chuyun just asked that question casually and didn't say anything else. It might be just a simple meeting, and he didn't mean to delve into it further, so Shen Nanzhi didn't think about it any more.

It was already late, so Shen Nanzhi asked someone to arrange for Lu Pianpian to rest, and then he also went to rest.

The next morning, after having breakfast with Lu Pianpian, Shen Nanzhi took her to Jinxiu Garden to check A Niang's pulse.

With the previous experience of Mother Liu as a lesson, the servants in Jinxiu Garden were all looking at Shen Nanzhi with great vigilance.

Cuiyun, who took over Liu's mother's position, was also a perceptive person. She sent everyone away with just a look from Shen Nanzhi.

"how?"

In her previous life, A'niang was deeply poisoned. Even without Jiang Yanran's last bowl of medicine, A'niang would not have lived long.

When Shen Nanzhi thought of A Niang covered in blood and lifeless, his eyes became sore.

Lu Pianpian shook her head: "Madam was already weak, and she was poisoned too deeply for too long."

Shen Nanzhi felt a tingling sensation in his chest.

Shen Yanxin looked very calm, as if she was not surprised by the result. She took Shen Nanzhi's hand and said softly, "It doesn't matter. If it were an ordinary family, mother's body would have collapsed long ago. All these years, she relied on those precious medicinal herbs to survive from the King of Hell. Now that Zhizhi has grown up, mother has no regrets. The only pity is..."

Those jackals didn’t pay the price they deserved!

Shen Yanxin didn't say anything in front of Lu Pianpian, but Shen Nanzhi had already noticed her sudden coldness in her eyes.

"Don't worry, there is a way."

Shen Nanzhi was about to cry, then she heard Lu Pianpian say slowly: "Fortunately, in order not to arouse suspicion, the poison is concealed, and the dosage is very small, so the toxicity is not strong, and it is not difficult to solve it."

Shen Nanzhi frowned: "Then what did you mean by shaking your head and saying those words just now?"

Hearing this, Lu Pianpian chuckled, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Isn't this what my godfather taught me? Everything should be said in a serious way. This way, I can avoid responsibility and get more medical fees and benefits. Sister Zhizhi, don't be angry, I'm just used to it, used to it, hehe."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

That Doctor Lu is quite interesting.

She almost cried, thinking she was going to experience separation again.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but raised her hand and poked Lu Pianpian's hair, "I'll punish you by making you eat one less pork elbow at noon!"

Hearing this, Lu Pianpian couldn't laugh anymore, "Sister Zhizhi, please don't... You don't know how hard life is in the mountains, especially in the past two months since godfather left, I haven't even seen a scrap of meat, wuwuwu..."

These words made Shen Yanxin laugh. She patted Lu Pianpian's shoulder and said gently, "Don't listen to your sister Zhizhi. If you want to eat something, just tell the kitchen to make it. If they don't move, just come to me."

"Thank you, Madam..." Lu Pianpian's eyes lit up instantly, and she hugged Shen Yanxin's arm and said coquettishly: "Woo woo woo... From now on, you are my real mother! I'll go and prepare the prescription for you right away."

She was even unwilling to hand it over to others, so Lu Pianpian had to go out and get the medicine herself.

Shen Nanzhi was afraid that it would be unsafe for a little girl like her to go out, so she asked Qiuyue to go with her.

After Lu Pianpian left, only Shen Nanzhi and her daughter were left in the room. Shen Nanzhi took A Niang's hand and asked, "A Niang, what have you thought about?"

Shen Yanxin's spirit today seems to be very different from the day before.

But it only took two days for her to adjust.

Shen Nanzhi believed that she had made her decision.

"Zhizhi."

Shen Yanxin held Shen Nanzhi's hand in return, her tone gentle but firm, "Actually, there's nothing to consider. I was just a little surprised, a little hurt, and a little angry when I first learned about these things, but now I've adjusted myself. As for how to deal with this matter."

Having said that, Shen Yanxin turned her head and glanced at the half-open windowsill.

The crabapple trees outside the window are in full bloom.

She has always loved crabapples, and these were planted and taken care of by Jiang Shiyan himself many years ago.

Even when she was not in Kyoto over the years, he took excellent care of her flowers.

But so what? It still cannot cover up his hypocritical, greedy and vicious face.

Shen Yanxin pinched Shen Nanzhi's fingertips: "For me, it has never been a choice. From the moment he schemed against you and the Shen family and attacked me, he was destined to have no way out."

Shen Yanxin said word by word: "I want a divorce, but I also want him to die."

"And as you said, all those who plotted against my mother and me in the past life must be made to suffer a fate worse than death!"
