Shen Nanzhi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang Yanran hurriedly walking out of the back door.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi, she was startled at first, then she looked at Shen Nanzhi with a cold face and frowned, and said in an unhappy tone: "What are you doing here?"

Shen Nanzhi looked at her coldly: "If you can be here, why can't I be here?"

Jiang Yanran said angrily: "I am here because I live here, what about you?"

Because Shen Nanzhi took back the jewellery, and despite her repeated requests, Shen Nanzhi did not take her to the Liu family's birthday party. Now Jiang Yanran has completely fallen out with Shen Nanzhi and can't even continue her acting career.

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "But this is my home where you live. You are just a poor creature living under someone else's roof. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me, your master?"

Although he looked down on the Jiang family, Shen Nanzhi didn't mind using this to annoy Jiang Yanran.

Jiang Yanran couldn't argue, so she could only bring up the old lady Zhao of the Jiang family: "Even if it's your family, what you did completely offended the aunt, would she allow you to enter this door? It's just when your uncle is promoted. When your uncle comes back, see how he will deal with you! Then let everyone see you, an unfilial daughter!"

Shen Nanzhi was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, sister. I was just thinking about what business to do with this empty shop. In the past two years, funeral clothing and coffin shops have been profitable businesses. I was a little hesitant at first, maybe my grandmother would be averse to this, so it's a bit bad. But since my sister and grandmother have determined that I am unfilial, I will ask someone to start the business in two days."

"You!" Jiang Yanran was so angry that she jumped up and down: "Shen Nanzhi! How dare you!"

Jiang Yanran could never have imagined that Shen Nanzhi would actually do business in dead bodies next door to the Jiang residence.

Not to mention Zhao, even she was so angry that she wanted to die. She only hated herself for not giving her more Hua Gong San at the beginning. It would have been better to paralyze Shen Nanzhi and turn her into a waste directly. Why did she have to wait until she used her full strength to be counterattacked?

Jiang Yanran wished she could just spend a large sum of money to hire a group of people, not only to force Shen Nanzhi to use her full strength and waste her skills, but also to have them humiliate her in every way and disfigure her face!

When she thought of this, she didn't want to wait even a quarter of an hour longer.

But Jiang Shiyan hasn't come back yet. Because of Shen Nanzhi, Shen Yanxin no longer likes her. Now that Shen Nanzhi is in trouble, not only will she not get any benefit from the Shen family, but she will also be suspected.

Jiang Yanran could only grit her teeth and endure it. She said angrily: "Aren't you afraid of being criticized by thousands of people?"

Shen Nanzhi's eyebrows curved, and she smiled wantonly, "If you make me unhappy, I'll see if I dare to do that."

After saying that, she turned around to leave, but after taking a few steps, she seemed to remember something. Shen Nanzhi turned her head to look at Jiang Yanran, whose face was full of anger and even her facial features were distorted and hideous. "Oh, by the way, my sister hasn't compensated me for the red coral hairpin last time. I will give my sister three more days. If I don't see compensation, I will have to ask someone to go to my sister's room to get something to pay off the debt."

Jiang Yanran was furious: "How dare you! Shen Nanzhi, you are going too far!"

But her words obviously had no deterrent effect, because even she herself knew that Shen Nanzhi was definitely capable of doing such a thing.

Jiang Yanran's eyes turned red with anger.

Shen Nanzhi smiled and didn't want to waste time with her, so she turned around and went back to the Shen family.

As it was getting dark, my two aunts and cousin Changan had already returned from the Liu family.

I heard that she had a bad quarrel with Princess Jiahe later, so my aunt scolded my cousin Changan: "You bastard! I told you to take good care of your sister, but you just disappeared without a trace, and you didn't even know that your sister was bullied!"

Shen Changan, who always argued with his aunt in the past, was depressed this time. He hung his head and said in annoyance, "It's all my fault. I didn't expect that there would be Princess Jiahe to blame."

The third aunt also blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault. I was so busy talking to the sisters that I didn't pay attention to Zhizhi. Zhizhi just arrived, so it's inevitable that she will be bullied. It's also our Liu family's fault for not taking good care of her."

This was the scene Shen Nanzhi saw when he returned.

It was clearly she who hit someone, and they also knew that she was not a little white rabbit that could be bullied, but her aunt and cousins ​​still felt that she was wronged.

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Aunts, cousin, I'm fine. I was the one who hit her, and the one who was hit was Princess Jiahe. She's the one you should be worried about."

The eldest aunt stepped forward and took Shen Nanzhi's hand, and said with emotion: "You don't know, that Princess Jiahe is notoriously arrogant and domineering. Last time at the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the Palace, I was worried that she would conflict with you, but later I heard that because of Jiang Yanran's matter, she not only did not make things difficult for you, but also protected you a lot, so I was relieved. I never thought that today... Hey!"

The eldest aunt's face was full of worry: "She was in the wrong today and got beaten, so she dared not speak out. But I am also worried that she will trip you up in the future."

Shen Nanzhi patted her aunt's hand and said with a smile: "When the enemy comes, we will stop him with our generals and when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Didn't my aunt always teach me that our Shen family doesn't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either?"

The aunt nodded, and she was slightly relieved. However, thinking of the Seventh Prince Xiao Qi'an, she sighed and said, "Everyone knows that Princess Jiahe is infatuated with the Seventh Prince. This time, I'm afraid she targeted you because she heard what Concubine Zhang said. This proves that your previous guess was correct. We must put this marriage on the agenda."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and was about to ask someone to bring the portrait to Shen Nanzhi to see.

These are a few suitable people that their aunts have carefully selected from a group of young talents. They want Shen Nanzhi to take a look and arrange a meeting for those who suit their eyes.

"No, aunt."

Shen Nanzhi held her aunt's hand and said, "I already have a suitable candidate."

As calm as she is, Shen Nanzhi still feels a little embarrassed when talking about her marriage.

Under the gossiping and expectant eyes of several people, Shen Nanzhi lowered his eyes and said: "You are also familiar with this person."

The three of them looked at each other, but still couldn't remember who it was.

Especially Shen Changan, he lazily leaned on the armchair, holding his chin with one hand, frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "You just came to the capital, you don't know many people, you must have known him when you were in Shangyang County, but I thought for a long time, the only foreign man you have had contact with in these years is the boy from the Xie family, there is no other one, who is it?"

Shen Nanzhi turned to look at Shen Changan: "Cousin, in your words, couldn't it be the kid from the Xie family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Changan almost got goosebumps. He took a breath and asked, "How is it possible! Just the two of you, can it work? I'll even write your name backwards!"

Fortunately, Xie Changyuan is not here at the moment, otherwise, I would have to have a serious talk with him.

Xie Changyuan's mother died giving birth to him due to complications, and Uncle Xie was a rough man who could not take care of the child and could not even come up with a good name. The word "Changyuan" was chosen by his grandfather, and it is the same character as Shen Changan.

Both families hope that Changyuan and Changan can be as close as brothers and help each other.

Their relationship was indeed very good before. When Shen Changan climbed over the wall to hang out, Xie Changyuan would keep watch; when Shen Changan got into a fight with someone, Xie Changyuan would take the blame...

It was because Xie Changyuan was loyal enough to Shen Changan, so when Xie Changyuan and Shen Nanzhi had a quarrel and he needed to take sides and uphold justice, Shen Changan became more and more troubled. Since Xie Changyuan returned to Beijing, he has spent more than a year of quiet life in the Shen family's old house.

Even if Shen Changan were beaten to death, he would never think of Xie Changyuan as the person Shen Nanzhi wanted to marry.

Although the two aunts stayed in Kyoto most of the time, they had heard about the things happening in the old house. Although they didn't say it as bluntly as Shen Changan, the look in their eyes when they looked at Shen Nanzhi showed obvious disbelief.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi sighed: "Really, I can't joke about my lifelong event."

After saying that, she turned her head to look at the sky outside which had completely darkened, and said with a smile, "If it wasn't so late, I'm afraid he would have come to my house with a matchmaker by now."

"What?"

"What did you say?"

Several people were almost shocked and wanted to chase Shen Nanzhi to ask more questions, but Shen Nanzhi joked to Shen Changan: "Cousin, when Xie Changyuan comes to propose marriage, you must remember to write your name backwards."

After saying this, she covered her lips, smiled, and quickly left the front hall, fearing that if she was a step later, she would be grabbed by her two aunts and interrogated endlessly.

It’s no wonder they were surprised. Even Shen Nanzhi himself didn’t feel it was real at the moment.

I'm afraid that only when she sees Xie Changan personally come to propose marriage, will she be able to put her mind at ease.

Shen Nanzhi went all the way back to her own yard, and only after closing the door did she ask Zhuyue to hand the scroll back to her.

Shen Nanzhi had made many guesses before, but he didn't expect that there was a wanted warrant and a verdict inside.

The cause and effect are very simple. A man named Zhang Haiwang owed a huge debt due to gambling. Not only did he mortgage his house and land, he even sold his wife, but he still couldn't fill the hole. Being pressed by his creditors, he was desperate and kidnapped a wealthy businessman who was traveling. After killing him and robbing his money, he fled. Later, he was arrested by the government and sentenced to death.

Shen Nanzhi felt that the man on the wanted poster looked familiar, and his name seemed to have been heard somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Zhuyue bowed and explained, "Miss, this man is Mama Liu's son, Zhang Haiwang. Today, I saw Mama Liu sneaking out of the mansion, so I followed her secretly. I didn't expect to see Zhang Haiwang in a side yard in the north of the city. When Mama Liu went there, he was hanging out with several prostitutes. Mama Liu was so angry that she immediately drove everyone out and scolded him for not knowing how to restrain himself. She said how she had compromised in the Shen family in exchange for his living in disgrace. The mother and son had a big quarrel. I followed the meaning between the lines of their words and went to the county government to check the files, and I saw this."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi frowned slightly.

According to the verdict, Zhang Haiwang was beheaded two years ago. The grass on his grave should be several meters high by now, but he is still alive and well.

Not only did he have to conceal the truth, but he also had to ask the Jingzhao Yin to cover it up for him. It's not something that just anyone can do.

Mother Liu was just a maid who served A-Niang.

She can't do it, but Jiang Shiyan can.

At this point, Shen Nanzhi finally figured out why Mother Liu was willing to take such a big risk to poison A Niang.

She knew the Shen family's hatred of evil, so she didn't dare to ask for mercy from the Shen family. In order to protect her only bloodline, she made a deal with Jiang Shiyan.

The deep love between master and servant for many years cannot compare to the life of their own child.

Jiang Shiyan saved Zhang Haiwang for her, and Liu Ma was used by him as his spy planted next to A Niang, and even poisoned A Niang!

That makes sense.

Shen Nanzhi handed the verdict and wanted order to Zhuyue and put them away. He sneered and said, "It just so happens that the mother and son had a quarrel today. It's not too much for Zhang Haiwang to leave home in anger and hide away for a few days, right?"

Zhuyue immediately understood what Shen Nanzhi meant, "I'll do it right away, but where should we keep the person after we catch him?"

Shen Nanzhi thought for a moment and said, "On the farm outside the city, find a random side yard to lock him up first, and send two more people to keep an eye on him."

Anyway, Zhang Haiwang was a "dead" person, so even if she found something wrong, Mother Liu would not dare to speak out, let alone report to the police.

There is just one thing that Shen Nanzhi hasn't figured out yet.

Originally, she wanted to go to the government office to expose Jiang Shiyan's hypocrisy and bring him down, but even the Jingzhao Yin could be bribed by him, so the road to the government office might not be easy.

The only thing left is the Dali Temple.

It would be great to hand it over to my uncle, but because he is a member of the Shen family, my uncle should avoid suspicion. Otherwise, even if the evidence is conclusive, he will inevitably be criticized and impeached.

But apart from her uncle, she couldn't think of any other candidates in the Dali Temple, only... Xiao Chuyun.

But Shen Nanzhi didn't want to bother him anymore.

Anyway, there is no news from Qingzhou yet, so there is no rush for this matter.

Shen Nanzhi asked Zhuyue to continue to keep an eye on Mother Liu, and Jiang Shiyan helped her conceal the truth and protect Zhang Haiwang. They would definitely be able to get evidence for such a big thing.

By the time he finished giving instructions, it was already late and Shen Nanzhi was exhausted both physically and mentally.

She hadn't eaten for most of the day and had no appetite. She washed up and fell asleep.

The next morning, Shen Nanzhi had just opened her eyes when she saw Qiuyue running in in a panic, with a look on her face as if she had been struck by lightning, saying, "Miss! Something terrible has happened! Young Marquis Xie is here to propose marriage!"

It’s no wonder Qiuyue was making a fuss. Shen Nanzhi went out yesterday without a maid. After coming back, she only told her aunt and cousin about it, and no one else knew about it.

Moreover, as her personal maids, Qiuyue and others knew best the incompatible past between her and Xie Changyuan.

Shen Nanzhi sat up, stretched, and said nonchalantly: "Why are you panicking? Isn't this a good thing?"

Qiuyue was confused: "Huh?"

Shen Nanzhi tapped her forehead and said, "Hurry up and dress your daughter."

The weather is just right and the garden is full of spring.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help laughing when she thought of the expressions of the Shen family when they saw Xie Changyuan today.

When he was a guest at the Shen family before, everyone was more or less accommodating to him.

Now he wants to become the son-in-law of the Shen family. When he thinks of his "sensational" past with Shen Nanzhi, I'm afraid he will have a completely different attitude.

Although I won't object in the end, I will definitely make this brat suffer.

Shen Nanzhi's eyes curved, she deserved it!

Who made him bully her all these years?
