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

Shen Nanzhi finished cleaning up, but did not go to the front hall immediately.

She first asked about Jiang Yanran's situation yesterday. She came out from the back door sneakily at that time, which must be something bad.

According to the news brought back by Zhuifeng, Jiang Yanran received the news that Zhao Wan was in trouble at that time, so she rushed over in a hurry. I'm afraid that her mind has been focused on finding Zhao Wan's whereabouts in the past few days, and she should not have the time to be an eyesore in front of Shen Nanzhi.

As for Mother Liu, since he had already caught her with evidence, Shen Nanzhi felt that it would be safer to keep her under his nose.

When Jiang Shiyan becomes desperate, he will definitely use Liu Mama's trick, and then we can catch him red-handed.

However, she did not dare to leave her with A-niang and take risks with A-niang. Shen Nanzhi asked Qiuyue to bring Mother Liu back to her directly.

She had been beaten badly by Shen Nanzhi before, and after two days of recuperation, her injuries have not yet fully healed, especially her waist, and she walks a little crookedly.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi, Madam Liu shrank back out of habit and knelt on the ground: "I pay my respects to you, young lady."

Shen Nanzhi drank a sip of tea to moisten her throat, then said slowly: "Does Madam Liu know that she is wrong?"

Having been beaten up by Shen Nanzhi twice in a row, Mother Liu becomes nervous whenever she sees Shen Nanzhi, not knowing what other tricks Shen Nanzhi has in store for her.

Now she only regretted that she had no tact at that time. She didn't expect that Shen Nanzhi would suddenly turn against Jiang Yanran. She even went to help Jiang Yanran pass a message to Shen Yanxin, which angered Shen Nanzhi.

Madam Liu burst into tears and said, "Miss, I really know I was wrong. At the beginning, I saw that my cousin and I were like sisters, and I thought it was just a little quarrel. I wanted to ask you to mediate. I never thought of betraying you. Please understand! That day at the Jiang family, it was my cousin who threatened me. I knew that the family rules would not fall on you, so I just went through the motions."

After she finished her explanation while crying, Shen Nanzhi pretended to sigh with regret: "Mother Liu, the reason why I am so angry is because you are an old person next to my mother. My mother and I trust you so much, but I didn't expect that you would side with outsiders. It makes me feel disappointed. Jiang Yanran and I have completely broken up. There is no possibility of reconciliation. Considering that Mother Liu has worked hard for my mother for so many years, I will give Mother Liu a chance."

Shen Nanzhi put down the teacup and raised her eyebrows to look at Mama Liu who looked pleading. "I think you must have heard before you came that Young Marquis Xie and I are going to get engaged. My mother is not in good health, and my aunts all have their own things to do. I need someone to give me advice. If you are willing, you can stay. When you are done with this period of busyness, you can return to serve my mother. Just like before, she misses you very much."

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu kowtowed and said, "It is my blessing to be able to stay with you and work for you. Thank you for your kindness!"

Shen Nanzhi smiled, personally stepped forward to help her up, and said ashamedly: "You watched me grow up, and you know that I am a straightforward person with a bad temper. I beat you like that that day, firstly because I was angry that you protected Jiang Yanran, and secondly, it was to put on a show for my grandmother and the others. I am sorry for wronging you."

As she spoke, Shen Nanzhi took off a jade bracelet with floating flowers from her wrist and said, "Please don't take it to heart, Madam Liu. Just think of it as my apology to Madam Liu."

This kind of beating after three blows and then giving one sweet date made even Mother Liu a little confused.

"Miss, this... this is not right. This is all my fault. How can I deserve your apology..."

Shen Nanzhi smiled and put the bracelet on her hand, not allowing her to refuse, and said: "I have to go to the front hall. Mother Liu is injured, so she should rest for the next two days."

At this point, Mother Liu could only express her gratitude in fear.

Only then did Shen Nanzhi take Qiuyue to the front yard.

After leaving the courtyard, Qiuyue couldn't help but mutter to Shen Nanzhi: "Miss, please allow me to talk too much. I saw it clearly at the Jiang family that day. Madam Liu's expression at that time was that she wished that the whip was hit on you. She must still be on your side in her heart."

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "Of course I know."

It's just to calm her down first.

She had just been beaten, learned a lesson, and was angry with Zhang Haiwang. She would not risk going out to find Zhang Haiwang again in the short term.

In this way, Zhang Haiwang’s disappearance will not be exposed for the time being.

Otherwise, the accidents that happened to Zhang Haiwang and Zhao Wan at the same time might very likely arouse the suspicion of the Jiang family.

"Privately ask two maids to watch her every move. Remember, don't let her find out."

When Qiuyue heard this, she knew that Shen Nanzhi had his own arrangements, so she quickly agreed without saying anything more.

The master and servant soon arrived at the front hall.

Contrary to Shen Nanzhi's expectations, the front hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Almost all members of the Shen family were present.

A'niang sat at the top, surrounded by four aunts. They were clearly helping A'niang and examining this marriage, fearing that Shen Nanzhi would be wronged. Those who didn't know would think that they were going to settle accounts with the Loyal and Brave Marquis Xie Zhenting.

Although, their posture is no different from settling accounts.

Even my uncle didn't report to the Dali Temple today. Sitting on the right side of A-niang now is my cousin Shen Changan.

In the huge main hall, Xie Changyuan was the only one standing there, like a child who had done something wrong, accepting the scrutiny and criticism from his elders.

After a moment of silence.

Shen Yanxin, who was always gentle, couldn't help but frown and said, "A Yuan, marriage is not a joke. Have you thought about it?"

The eldest aunt also chimed in, "That's right. You and Zhizhi have been at odds since childhood. I heard that you almost tore down the roof and burned down the ancestral hall in the old house. But don't act on impulse. This marriage is not as simple as you play around with."

The remaining three aunts nodded in agreement.

Even Shen Changan couldn't help but glance at the ashamed face of the loyal and brave Marquis Xie Zhenting, and couldn't help muttering: "If this really happens, I don't know if the roof of your Marquis' Mansion is solid. Of course, I'm not saying that my Zhizhi is bad, but their personalities are too conflicting. If they start fighting after marriage, not to mention the Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid our Shen family will be in chaos and there will be no peace forever."

Speaking of this, Shen Changan always looked like he had a splitting headache.

After hearing the attitudes of the Shen family, Zhang, the matchmaker, who had just gotten up early in the morning and had not had time to eat when she was asked to be a matchmaker, broke out in a cold sweat.

He used to have a clever mouth, but now he couldn't utter a word, for fear that the two sides would start fighting if they disagreed.

Such a happy event of matchmaking made her feel more depressed than visiting a grave.

Only Xie Changyuan's face turned red.

He used to be a boneless, carefree man, but this time he stood straight as a pine tree, clasped his hands together, and said, "My dear elders, I was wrong before. Please forgive me for being ignorant. I have liked to attract Zhizhi's attention in this way since I was a child. I know I was wrong, and this proposal is not just a whim. I really like Zhizhi."

As he spoke, he pointed to the sky and swore, "I can swear to my mother's spirit in heaven that if I am lucky enough to marry Zhizhi in this life, I will definitely treat Zhizhi well, never make her angry again, and never bully her. I will protect her for the rest of my life and will never lie to her. If I break this oath, I will be struck by five thunders and die a miserable death!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

Everyone knows that Xie Changyuan's mother is a thorn in his heart, an existence that cannot be touched.

His mother died during childbirth because of complications. Although he was not to blame, he still felt resentful about it.

He even brought up his mother, which shows he is serious.

Everyone in the Shen family was silent.

Just at this moment, Shen Nanzhi came in from outside the door.

Shen Changan was the first to open his eyes wide, and said in disbelief: "You...you...you two are not really going to succeed?"

Compared to Shen Changan's exaggerated expression, his uncle Shen Huaishu was relatively calm. He just frowned slightly and looked at Shen Nanzhi, and said in a gentle voice: "We still need to ask Zhizhi's opinion on this matter."

Xie Changan had just said that, and now he felt all the energy and blood in his chest rushing to his face.

He had already blushed, and when he heard Shen Nanzhi coming over, he felt even more embarrassed, but he still turned his head and looked at Shen Nanzhi expectantly: "You're here."

He looked so flattering and obedient, which was totally unlike Xie Changyuan.

Today, Shen Nanzhi was wearing a lilac-colored waist-length gauze skirt, which made her already beautiful face even more beautiful. Even the wind seemed especially gentle in front of her, gently blowing her skirt, making it sway gracefully and look like a lotus with every step.

Shen Nanzhi smiled at Xie Changyuan.

This smile made Xie Changyuan's eyes light up and his face turned even redder.

Shen Nanzhi stepped forward obediently and greeted the Loyal and Brave Marquis: "Zhizhi greets Uncle Xie, Young Marquis Xie."

Xie Zhenting nodded with satisfaction, and then he joked, "If I hadn't come back too late from the competition yesterday, I would have been urged by this guy to come to my house to propose marriage before I even spent the night."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Changyuan coughed uncomfortably and tried hard to wink at his father, asking him to save some face for him.

At this point, the expressions of everyone in the Shen family finally relaxed.

The originally tense atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and pleasant.

The two families were well-known and well-matched. If it weren't for the incompatibility of the two children's personalities, they wouldn't have been so nervous just now. Now that they saw that the two of them were not joking, everyone calmed down. Besides, Lord Xie himself was a passionate man and kept himself clean, so how could his son be any worse? After all, they watched Xie Changyuan grow up, and the more the Shen family looked at Xie Changyuan, the more satisfied they were.

Of course, except Shen Changan.

However, his opinion doesn't matter.

The two families were talking and laughing, and were just discussing how to settle the matter, when they suddenly heard the doorman come to announce: "The King of Zhenbei is visiting."

The sound was not loud, but it silenced everyone present.

The Prince of Zhenbei, Xiao Chuyun, has never had much dealings with the major families in the capital. Why did he suddenly come to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?

The person is already here, so there is no reason to leave him alone. Besides, since he interrupted us, we can only talk about the engagement later.

Seeing that A'niang had been sitting for so long, Shen Nanzhi was afraid that she could not hold on, so he asked the maid to help her down to rest first.

Shen Nanzhi originally wanted to follow him, but she was also curious about what important matter Xiao Chuyun came to her house today. You know, she heard from Lu Pianpian that his cold poison attacks once every three months, and each time lasts for three to five days at least, and seven days at most. Calculating the time, Xiao Chuyun's poison attack has not yet ended this time.

Thinking about how he was yesterday, sweating profusely after walking a few steps and having to sit on the bamboo couch to rest, and how he still forced himself to come to the door today, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but worry for him.

On this side, Shen Huaishu has personally invited people in.

Today, Xiao Chuyun was wearing a black official uniform with a dragon pattern. His long hair was neatly tied up with a purple gold crown. He looked indescribably noble and elegant, like a sword hidden in its scabbard. Even though his edge had been restrained, he still had a powerful aura that was hard to ignore. Even the loyal and brave Marquis Xie Zhenting, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and killed countless enemies, was inferior to him.

"See you, Your Majesty."

After some greetings, Xiao Chuyun naturally sat at the top.

After paying her respects, Shen Nanzhi stood obediently behind her uncle.

Xiao Chuyun's eyes only passed over Shen Nanzhi's face for a moment, and then fell on Shen Huaishu: "The prince was injured before and is recuperating at home. He should have reported to the Dali Temple today, but he has not arrived yet. This prince is a little worried. I was going to the Ministry of Justice to get the files, so I passed by and came in to take a look. I didn't expect that the father and son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis were also here. This prince came at an inopportune time...Is it a pity to disturb your business?"

Different from the gentleness and friendliness he showed when facing Shen Nanzhi in private, Xiao Chuyun had a cold expression on his face in front of others.

When talking to others, although there was a hint of smile on his face, his aura of majesty without even being angry always made people feel inexplicably scared.

It was not until this moment that Shen Nanzhi finally saw the appearance of the King of Zhenbei who shocked the three armies in public.

No wonder Liu Jingya said that her grandfather was frightened when he saw it.

Who dares to respond to him?

Shen Huaishu quickly apologized with a smile: "Your Majesty is so kind to come to the Duke's Mansion. It is my fault that I was late for my duty. I had thought that I would go to the Dali Temple to apologize to Your Majesty after I had dealt with my family affairs. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would come at the right time."

Xiao Chuyun held the teacup but did not drink it.

His eyes seemed to casually glance at the Loyal and Brave Marquis Xie Zhenting, and Xie Changyuan who was standing behind Xie Zhenting and occasionally stole glances at Shen Nanzhi.

Xie Zhenting quickly clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, you may not know that our two families are interested in getting married and are just planning to finalize it, so that delayed the prince's efforts."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chuyun's fingertips holding the teacup tightened slightly.

His face was cold, without any sign of emotion, only the fingertips holding the teacup were pale.

Although he didn't say anything yet, everyone present suddenly felt a chill in their faces.

Xie Zhenting, the Loyal and Brave Marquis who was closest to him, was the most shocked. Having killed countless enemies with his own hands, he knew better than anyone else present that the coldness actually revealed an almost uncontrollable murderous intent.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, and when he looked over carefully, he saw Xiao Chuyun had turned his head to look at Shen Nanzhi, and smiled: "It seems that Miss Shen is about to get married."

Shen Nanzhi was far away, so she didn't notice this slight change. She saw Xiao Chuyun's gentle features, and the kindness he had shown her before, so Shen Nanzhi thought he was just giving her a sincere blessing, and smiled, "Your Highness must come to the wedding to drink a glass of wine when the time comes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound.
