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

On the way back in the carriage, Liu Jingya was silent all the way.

Shen Nanzhi wanted to speak to comfort her several times, but didn't know what to say.

Finally, Liu Jingya saw that she was hesitant to speak, so she smiled and comforted her: "Sister Zhizhi, I'm fine, don't worry. We can't be sisters-in-law in the future, but we are still the best of sisters. Just don't think I'm holding you back."

Shen Nanzhi waved her hands quickly: "Sister Jingya, you are being too polite. And what happened today, it was because of me that Sister Jingya suffered this misfortune."

Hearing this, Liu Jingya quickly denied it: "It's not your fault. If anyone is to blame, then blame those northern barbarians for their wolfish ambitions. I will go back and report to my father and grandfather, as well as my mother, and ask her to go to the palace to find my aunt tomorrow morning. We can't let this go on for nothing."

Having said that, the results should not be satisfactory.

Because Shen Nanzhi felt that even if he looked for it, it would be difficult to get justice in this matter.

However, it is indeed safer to have the Liu family handle this matter.

Even if the dog emperor wants to turn a blind eye, with Concubine Liu's pillow talk, he can at least get some rewards as compensation, so he shouldn't miss it.

Moreover, with the previous preparations, the dog emperor would not dare to be too biased if he had to face those northern barbarians again in the future.

Peace will not be achieved by blindly indulging and keeping quiet.

If the Northern Barbarians had not realized that Da Qi did not want to go to war, they would not have resorted to such extreme measures.

Since the Northern Barbarians are determined to start a war, if their first plan fails, they will definitely have other plans, or even go to war outright.

This battle may be unavoidable.

The northern border is unstable, and Xiao Chuyun, as the King of Zhenbei, is naturally the popular choice.

Shen Nanzhi guessed that the reason she didn't encounter these things in her previous life was probably because she had no connection with Xiao Chuyun, so the Northern Barbarians did not target her.

Later, after she was betrothed to Xiao Qian'an, she never saw Xiao Chuyun again. He must have gone to the northern border by then.

But that may not be the case in this life.

The dog emperor is suspicious by nature.

Even if the dog emperor is temporarily relieved about Xiao Chuyun because he doesn't have much time left and has no chance of becoming emperor, it would be difficult for him to decide to let him go to the northern border.

Not to mention that Xiao Chuyun has hundreds of thousands of troops in the northern border. He is like a fish in water when he goes to the northern border. Now there is the marriage with the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

One in the south and one in the north, if they both wave their flags in response, his throne will definitely not be stable.

Not to mention anything else, I'm afraid that after the Liu family brings the news of the Northern Barbarians' wolfish ambitions into the palace tomorrow, the dog emperor will have begun to regret granting her and Xiao Chuyun a marriage.

However, the imperial edict has been issued and cannot be changed overnight. Even if the dog emperor regrets it, there is nothing he can do about it now.

Thinking of Xiao Chuyun, Shen Nanzhi always felt like she had overlooked something important.

Just as she was about to think about it, the carriage had stopped in front of Liu's house.

After Shen Nanzhi said goodbye to Liu Jingya, he turned around and returned to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

As soon as she entered the door and asked the doorman, she learned that Shen Changan and Qiuyue had not returned yet. Then Shen Nanzhi saw Jiang Shiyan following her in a hurry.

He was still wearing court robes, probably because he had just returned from the Ministry of Revenue.

It was difficult because he had been busy with official duties recently and had to worry about the things in the rear house. It had only been a few days since he returned to Beijing, but the fatigue between his brows had become even more severe, and even a few more wrinkles on his temples.

As soon as they met, he frowned and said, "Zhizhi, where is Yanran? Have you met Yanran?"

It turned out that the news of Jiang Yanran being kidnapped made him so panicked.

He could secretly drug A'niang and Shen Nanzhi, regardless of their life or death, but he really loved Zhao Wan and her son.

If that was the case, why did he abandon his wife and children, hide the truth and become the son-in-law of the Shen family?

After all, he is selfish, greedy, hypocritical, and wants everything.

Shen Nanzhi was disdainful in his heart, and only raised his eyebrows: "Father, why do you ask me in such a tone?"

Jiang Shiyan realized that his tone was too harsh. He took out a handkerchief and said, "Yanran was kidnapped. That person left this handkerchief behind. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the totem of the Northern Barbarians."

The Northern Barbarians were eager to make the incident a big deal, so it was normal for them to leave some marks and "evidence" regarding the abduction of the Jiang family's cousin.

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "Yes, it is indeed the Northern Barbarians' things, and it is true that the Northern Barbarians' envoys kidnapped my sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shiyan blurted out in anger: "They shouldn't be targeting you? Why did they kidnap Yanran?"

Having said that, anyone would feel disheartened to be questioned like this by their own father.

Fortunately, Shen Nanzhi no longer has the father-daughter affection for Jiang Shiyan.

She was very tired today, exhausted both physically and mentally, and she was even too lazy to deal with him at this moment.

So, facing Jiang Shiyan's questioning, Shen Nanzhi just said calmly: "Who knows, maybe my sister is just unlucky. Since Dad knows where my sister is, please go find her yourself."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

"You stop!"

Jiang Shiyan rarely looked downcast, frowning at Shen Nanzhi: "That's your sister. She became like this because of you. Now she was kidnapped because of you. Shen Nanzhi, do you have a heart?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi turned around and smiled: "If my father says so, I have nothing to say."

Jiang Shiyan was so angry that his hands were shaking, but this place was not far from the main entrance, and he didn't want outsiders to hear him, so he had to suppress his anger: "I'll settle the score with you later!"

After saying that, he continued to walk inside and told the servant to find Shen Huaishu.

No matter how comfortable he is in the court, his background cannot catch up with that of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, not to mention that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion also has private soldiers and secret guards.

Regarding Jiang Yanran's disappearance, he could only seek help from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Master Jiang is looking for me?"

Shen Huaishu happened to come over from the crescent archway, and he roughly heard the conversation between Jiang Shiyan and Shen Nanzhi.

Jiang Shiyan did not notice that Shen Huaishu did not call him brother-in-law as usual, but called him Lord Jiang in a distant tone.

Zhao Wan got into trouble, Jiang Qingyuan and Jiang Yanran got into trouble one after another, he was almost losing his mind at this moment, how could he pay attention to these trivial matters.

"Huai Shu, let's talk for a moment."

Jiang Shiyan raised his hand and led Shen Huaishu to the front hall.

Shen Nanzhi originally wanted to go back and rest, but seeing that Jiang Shiyan was still going to disturb her uncle, she subconsciously followed him.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Shiyan dismissed his subordinates and said directly to Shen Huaishu: "Yanran is missing. Since the Northern Barbarian envoy dared to leave evidence, he must be confident. Besides, there is no way to report such a thing to the authorities, so I would like to ask Huaishu to send the personal guards of the mansion to search for Yanran's whereabouts."

At this point, Jiang Shiyan wiped his eyes and blamed himself, "My cousin from the Jiang family entrusted Yanran to me and Axin. I have been busy with official duties recently, and Axin is not in good health. We have neglected to take care of Yanran, which is why she has been in trouble one after another. I am really ashamed of my cousin from the Jiang family."

On the surface, these words were expressing self-blame and showing that he valued friendship and loyalty, but in fact, he was also reminding Shen Huaishu that it was Shen Yanxin who neglected to take care of Jiang Yanran, and he was quietly putting the blame on Shen Nanzhi's mother.

Shen Nanzhi felt like vomiting after hearing this.

Snapped!

This time, Shen Nanzhi didn't get angry, but Shen Huaishu put the teacup heavily on the table.

"Master Jiang, this is wrong."

Shen Huaishu, who was always gentle and calm, frowned and looked at Jiang Shiyan: "My elder sister is in poor health and can't even take care of Zhizhi. She shouldn't have taken on the job of taking care of others. Not only do you not understand her, but you also insist on pushing the responsibility onto her. Now that something has happened, you blame her for neglecting to take care of her. How can that be justified?"

In the past, no matter what Jiang Shiyan said, Shen Huaishu would give him some face.

This is the first time I've done this directly on my face.

Jiang Shiyan was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Huaishu. He suppressed the faint uneasiness in his heart and continued, "I was confused because of my anxiety. Huaishu, please don't bother with me. The most urgent thing is to find Yanran first. Please help me."

At this point, seeing that Shen Huaishu was unmoved, Jiang Shiyan glanced at Shen Nanzhi again before continuing, "Besides, in the final analysis, Yanran suffered this disaster because of Zhizhi. If it weren't for her engagement with the King of Zhenbei, how could those Northern Barbarian envoys take revenge on Yanran?"

Shen Huaishu was so angry that he laughed: "Whoever kidnapped your Yanran, just go find him yourself. Why drag us Zhizhi into this? You even brought up the engagement with the Zhenbei Palace. That engagement was made by the Emperor. If Lord Jiang has any objections, how about you raise it in public in the court tomorrow morning?"

This time, Jiang Shiyan was completely stunned.

He frowned and looked at Shen Huaishu, then turned to look at Shen Nanzhi. Facing Shen Nanzhi's cold and heartless eyes, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "Is it because of what you said in front of Huaishu? Zhizhi, Dad's tone just now was a little wrong, but she is your sister after all. Are you going to watch her die without saving her?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi shook her head: "Father is wrong. She is at most my cousin, not my biological sister. Father keeps calling her my sister, but in fact, she and I are not that close."

Seeing Jiang Shiyan's face stiffen, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but ask back: "Why, did I say something wrong?"

Jiang Shiyan's expression became uglier and uglier. Seeing Shen Nanzhi turning around to leave, he blurted out in anger: "Did you do what happened to Yanran outside the Ten Mile Pavilion?"

Shen Nanzhi frowned and looked at him.

Shen Huaishu on the side frowned slightly and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

Jiang Shiyan has been in a state of extreme nervousness recently, almost on the verge of collapse. Now Shen Nanzhi's attitude has become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

He said angrily: "Otherwise how could it be Yanran!"

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Father, why are you so sure that it was me and not my sister who got into trouble that day?"

This question stumped Jiang Shiyan.

He was speechless for a moment, but seeing his expression, Shen Nanzhi knew that he must have learned the cause of the incident from Jiang Qingyuan.

Although those hooligans and Zhao Kui were caught by Xiao Chuyun that day, there were only Shen Nanzhi, Lu Pianpian and Jiang Yanran in the carriage. Although Jiang Qingyuan was also confused at that time, when he calmed down, he would easily suspect Shen Nanzhi.

However, this matter was, after all, a conspiracy between Jiang Yanran and Jiang Qingyuan, and they had hired those thugs and Zhao Kui. If this matter was to be exposed, Jiang Qingyuan himself would not be able to escape responsibility.

This is why Shen Nanzhi dared to use the same trick against Jiang Yanran.

She was simply afraid that the Jiang father and son would reveal the truth of the matter.

What's more, later those people were captured by Xiao Chuyun, and Shen Nanzhi became even more fearless.

Shen Nanzhi saw through Jiang Shiyan's thoughts. By now Jiang Shiyan should have also understood Shen Nanzhi's desire to break up with Jiang Yanran and Jiang Qingyuan.

He simply stopped hiding it and said frankly: "You are so intolerant of them? Is this what your mother taught you?"

Shen Nanzhi smiled: "Didn't they plot against me first and not tolerate me? You didn't protect your own daughter, but went to protect someone else's child. Is this what your grandmother taught you?"

At this point, before Jiang Shiyan could speak, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but chuckle, "Oh, I was wrong. My grandmother is really biased. Maybe she really taught you this way."

When it comes to showing off one's eloquence or arguing with others, Shen Nanzhi is not afraid.

Jiang Shiyan was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Shen Nanzhi and said, "This is outrageous. Go and ask your mother to come out. I want to ask her if she knows that you are so sharp-tongued!"

Before Shen Nanzhi could speak, a cold voice rang out from outside the door: "Don't worry, Master Jiang, Zhizhi is fine. I am relieved."

When he first saw Shen Yanxin, Jiang Shiyan felt a little guilty and even his eyes were a little evasive.

Although he already holds a high position, he still feels inferior in his bones and a bit subconsciously cowardly when facing Shen Yanxin, a noble lady.

But Shen Yanxin didn't even look at him, she just turned to look at Shen Nanzhi: "Zhizhi, mother doesn't want to endure it anymore."

Well, Shen Nanzhi didn't want to continue to make herself look disgusting. Besides, after she dealt with the matters of Jiang Shiyan and the Jiang family, she could focus on dealing with Xiao Qian'an.

We can't just keep wasting time until there's any evidence sent back from Qingzhou.

There was nothing else wrong with it, but it made her and her mother feel sick.

Just take advantage of this opportunity.

Shen Nanzhi smiled and took A Niang's hand: "It's all up to you, A Niang. I will always support you."

Hearing her say this, Shen Yanxin was obviously relieved, which showed that she had been feeling very depressed recently.

She raised her hand and patted Shen Nanzhi's shoulder: "Okay, to avoid giving people a chance to talk, your uncle and I will handle this matter. You can go down and have a rest."

When children interfere in their parents' divorce, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, it is a taboo and they will be scolded.

Shen Nanzhi didn't care, but her mother was doing it for her own good. To reassure her mother, she nodded and said to her uncle, "Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle."

Everyone in the Shen family had already discussed everything in advance and were just waiting to confront Jiang Shiyan.

This is not difficult to do.

After getting Shen Huaishu's guarantee, Shen Nanzhi got up and left the main hall.

She had only taken two steps when she heard Jiang Shiyan's angry voice behind her: "Are you really going to divorce me?"

Shen Nanzhi didn't look back and walked all the way back to his own yard.

She made up an excuse and sent Madam Liu and the maids away before walking into the courtyard.

The crabapple trees in the yard are in full bloom.

The moon hangs high in the sky, the moonlight is bright, and the shadows of the crabapple flowers are mottled.

Shen Nanzhi lowered her eyes to glance at her own shadow on the ground which was elongated by the moonlight, then looked towards the wall again.

She estimated that everyone below had already left, so she couldn't help but frown and lowered her voice to ask: "Everyone has left, why are you still refusing to come out?"

Just as he finished speaking, a dark shadow walked out from the depths of the crabapple blossoms.
