Chapter 401 The trouble caused by Nan Zhi's background
Shen Nanzhi knew what she was thinking. She was simply cold-blooded and indifferent. She could not even recognize her own biological parents. This was simply treasonous and unbelievable.
Unfortunately, Shen Nanzhi is not a feudal woman who is bound by royal power, patriarchy, and family affection. She does not want to get involved in family affection, family and country, and she just wants to live her own life.
If anyone wants to disturb her peace, I'm sorry, but she is not afraid of trouble.
"Miss Shen, didn't the Regent tell you about your life experience?"
Ulri had to confess that she was very different from what she had imagined.
Shen Nanzhi raised an eyebrow: "No, I'm just an ordinary girl who grew up in a small village. The Regent loves me and doesn't want those messy things to disturb me.
As for his background, it is not important. If it requires me to make a decision, he will definitely tell me.
Princess, I saved your innocence. Although Prince Yu was wrong in this matter, I really care about you and saved you. I hope you won’t repay kindness with hatred.”
Wulli had so much to say that she couldn't say it. She was doing well and happy now, even happier than herself. If she were to be involved in all this trouble, it might really be like repaying kindness with enmity.
In the end, Ulli did not say what she did not want to hear. She tasted the delicious food in the palace and left with a full stomach.
Qi Yunxu also politely sent Prime Minister Baiyin away. In his own home, Qi Yunxu was less decisive and ruthless, and seemed gentle, easy-going and easy to talk to.
But Baiyin knew that once he disrupted this peace, the regent would not be so good-tempered.
After seeing them off, Qi Yunxu sighed, "Some things can't be avoided just because you want to. Nanzhi, it's time to confront Duke Shen."
Shen Nanzhi also frowned. Wuerli was actually coming for him. Why?
Is her background that important?
"Why did Wuerli talk about my life experience? Is there any hidden story behind this?"
Qi Yunxu's eyes were deep: "There is one thing we have all overlooked. The one who went to the King of Han's fiefdom to pick her up was the young Duke Shen, and he was also the one who sent the princess to marry. Perhaps your biological mother is someone else."
Shen Nanzhi's heart was shaken, and he suddenly laughed: "Haha, it's getting more and more interesting. There's a saying that's right, fate goes around in circles, and what's supposed to come will always come.
Then let's ask Lord Shen, my dear father, to have a word with me. I wonder what he thinks of my biological mother."
She was a little interested in watching the fun. It was time to pay the price for the happiness and beauty created by Princess Anguo.
No matter what, she sent people to murder the original owner. This was her sin and she would have to pay for it sooner or later.
Qi Yunxu felt that her worries were unnecessary. She didn't care who her biological parents were. She only cared about the consequences of this matter.
"After all, he is your biological father. Please be more tactful."
Shen Nanzhi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Are you men particularly able to empathize? Have you ever thought that if your bloodline is left outside and you see how much suffering he has gone through, will he hate you as his father?
Even if you don't know, if you can control your lower body, wouldn't there be no such injustice?"
Qi Yunxu quickly begged for mercy: "No, that's not what I meant. I can swear that nothing like this will ever happen to me. I'm not that stupid. Don't compare me with Duke Shen."
"really?"
Shen Nanzhi really wanted to tell her that if she didn't have some bottom line, she would have dared to steal his seeds and give birth to a few children for fun.
Fortunately, she did not act impulsively in the end. It was not because she felt sorry for him, but because she did not want her future children to live in a deformed family. Raising children is not just about feeding them, but also about nurturing and educating them, letting them have a sunny and independent personality, and be confident and cheerful, so that they can benefit the society and be useful people, rather than suffering and harming the society.
Shen Nanzhi would not have a child just for the sake of having a child. How could she be responsible for a child if she couldn't even live a good life herself?
In the end, she suppressed this dangerous thought, and Qi Yunxu escaped.
……
Duke Shen has been feeling pretty good lately. His daughter has become cheerful. Although she runs outside all day and hangs out with those poor kids, she is much better than her previous gloomy self.
But the good mood did not last for a few days. The Regent invited Duke Shen to have a simple meal at the palace, and Duke Shen brought Princess Anguo and their three children with him.
Shen Nanzhi looked at the family of five and felt very happy. Shen Kening took her arm and said happily, "Sister Nanzhi, I heard that you were treating us, so I brought my brothers here too. You don't know my brothers yet, right?
Let me introduce you, this is Shen Kefang, and this is my younger brother Shen Kele, both of you are here to meet Sister Nanzhi."
Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This Duke Shen was really weird. He favored girls over boys. The names of his two sons were so perfunctory. One was just let it go, and the other was simply named Coke. Was his background a joke?
Fortunately, the two children were very tough and didn't care about their father's perfunctory attitude. They smiled and saluted: "Hello, Sister Nanzhi."
"Hello, I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't prepare any gifts in advance. These two slingshots are not worth much, so I'll give them to you."
Shen Nanzhi took out two slingshots from his sleeves, which were naturally taken out from the space. The handles were made of fine steel and were very strong. The marbles were also made of solid fine steel and could kill small birds.
The two immediately liked it: "What a delicate slingshot, thank you sister."
"Don't hit people. Something bad will happen. You're all old enough now. You don't need me to tell you what you should and shouldn't do, right?"
"Yeah, don't worry, I won't hit you."
Princess Anguo was a little unhappy. Her child needs you to teach him a lesson? Who do you think you are?
Don't think that you can interfere in your own family affairs just because you are the Regent Princess. People from the country don't know the rules.
Duke Shen was laughing, but his laugh was a little silly. Qi Yunxu was disgusted. He hoped that he could still laugh tomorrow.
"Nanzhi, you entertain the guests. The Duke and I will go to the study to chat."
"Okay, I will take good care of the guests."
The two children were restless, so Shen Nanzhi took them to the martial arts training ground and asked Master Wu to practice with them.
They couldn't let go of spears, bows and arrows, plum blossom stakes, and human-shaped wooden stakes, and they played with them to the point of forgetting everything else.
Shen Nanzhi took Princess Anguo and her daughter to drink tea in the pavilion. They could also see the two children playing and it did not interfere with their tea drinking.
Shen Kening had endless things to say to her, and Princess Anguo became a little cold and just looked at her children, not paying much attention to Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Kening felt embarrassed and whispered, "My mother has a cold personality and doesn't like to chat much. Please don't mind."
Shen Nanzhi shook her head: "No, the princess is of noble status, it's normal for her to be a little cold, I can understand.
However, I have something I want to discuss with you, Princess. Please don’t think I’m annoying.”
Princess Anguo gave Qi Yunxu face and said calmly: "Don't think too much. I'm just old and don't have much in common with you girls. It's not that I have any problem with Miss Shen."
Shen Nanzhi did not expose her insincere words and asked, "Does the princess know about Master Ning Wu?"
Princess Anguo's heart sank, and she looked at her in disbelief: "Why are you asking about this person?"
"What a coincidence! My hometown is in Ninghua County. Princess, you are familiar with this place, right?"
"So what? What do you want to say?"
"Don't worry, Princess. I have worked with Master Ning Wu several times and we are acquaintances. This man is not a good person. He was hunted by his enemies and was like a stray dog, but he did not forget to take a farm girl with him. I am quite surprised. Is there something different about this girl?"
"How would I know?"
Princess Anguo clenched her palms tightly. Damn Ning Wu, such a big thing has been known by everyone. She knew it, did the Regent know it too?
What are they talking about in the study? Is it that bitch?
The person is dead, what else can we talk about?
Princess Anguo only regretted that she did not kill Master Ning Wu, and now her mind is full of how to kill him to prevent future troubles.
"Does the princess know where Master Ning Wu is now? What a coincidence, I saw him outside the Queen Mother's Palace. He is following Cheng Wenhui, the Cheng Prince. If this person knows anything, the princess will be in trouble, right?"
Princess Anguo couldn't help herself anymore. She stood up suddenly and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Shen Ke Ning was worried: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't say anything, Shen Nanzhi, what do you want? Don't pretend to be so innocent and pure, your tricks can't fool me."
Shen Nanzhi also stood up and looked her straight in the eye, "I didn't mean to lie to you, it was just for fun, you can come up with whatever conspiracy you want.
I just want you to know that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that there will be no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet. It's time for you to bear the consequences of your actions that have not been brought to light."
"It's unreasonable. I don't know what you are talking about. Let's go home."
Shen Ke Ning panicked: "Mother, what happened?"
Shen Nanzhi kindly advised her: "Ms. Shen, don't ask so many questions. Some things are better left unknown."
Princess Anguo suppressed her anxiety and left with her children without waiting for Duke Shen.
Duke Shen came out, still very surprised: "Where is my princess? Where are the children? Why didn't they wait for me? They haven't eaten yet."
He is still thinking about eating. He is so careless. No wonder he is being coaxed around.
Qi Yunxu said: "Your princess has left, are you still in the mood to eat? Go home and eat."
Duke Shen left in confusion. Could it be that he couldn't even get a meal on this trip?
Shen Nanzhi looked at his back with mixed feelings: "Is this guy really careless or brainless? Didn't you explain it to him clearly?"
"No, I think it would be more interesting to let the princess confess herself."
Qi Yunxu has always been a sinister person. If he tells him, Duke Shen will think that he is trying to sow discord between them and might even hate him.
Nan Zhi has already alerted the enemy, and Princess Anguo will be thrown into disarray. The couple should just have a quarrel behind closed doors.
"Now that they're gone, we have to eat. What do you want to eat?"
"Let's celebrate with something nice, how about hot pot?"
"Okay, but I have a sore throat and can't eat spicy food."
……
When Duke Shen returned home, Shen Ke Ning was waiting outside the door with a worried look on her face: "Father, what happened to mother? Did something serious happen?"
"You were accompanying your mother, why are you asking me? I was wondering why you went home without even having dinner."
Shen Ke Ning was speechless: "Don't worry about eating, hurry up and comfort your mother. I'll eat with my brothers."
She felt that it was no big deal, and even if there was a problem, her father could handle it. Their family had been living like this for so many years, and her father was the best husband and the best father in the world.
Unfortunately, Shen Kening will be disappointed this time. Their family will be turned upside down and face the biggest change.
When Lord Shen entered the room, he saw Princess Anguo's dazed face. Her eyes were motionless, and he was immediately startled: "Alan, what's wrong with you? Tell me what happened. Don't scare me like this. You're scaring the children too."
"Child, haha, it's all because of the child, Shen Yanxiu, I didn't do you any wrong, it was you who shouldn't have kept it from me and gave birth to a bastard, are you worthy of me?"
"What bastard? What are you talking about? It's incomprehensible."
"Don't pretend you know nothing. It was like that before, and it's the same now, as if I'm the only villain. Didn't the regent ask you to come over because of the matter of his illegitimate daughter?"
Duke Shen was just careless but not stupid. He immediately understood Qi Yunxu's weirdness. He just pulled him aside to chat without talking about serious matters. When did the Regent become so idle?
"Alan, what are you hiding from me? You all know, but I don't. What illegitimate daughter? Let's make it clear today."
A Lan is Princess Anguo's maiden name, and she is only called that when they are alone.
"When we first got married, everyone envied me for being so lucky to have found a husband as handsome and chaste as you.
I thought so too, but your subordinate came to me with a child and said it was your illegitimate daughter. I couldn't accept it. If this matter were to get out, I don't know how many people would laugh at me.
No matter how happy I was before, now that my illegitimate daughter has come into the family, I feel so miserable. I will never allow such a thing to happen."
Duke Shen was stunned: "What happened next?"
"What happened next? Haha, I first calmed that guy down and wanted to have him killed. But he found out and ran away with the child. Then I sent people to chase him. This chase lasted for 18 years."
Duke Shen couldn't believe it and thought it was absurd. He paced back and forth in anger: "You didn't even ask me, but just chased after a child. You, do you still have me in your eyes?
Regardless of whether the child is mine or not, you are being disrespectful to me by doing this. I am your husband."
"How can someone who is not yours come to your house? How can I respect you if you can do this?"
Duke Shen took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about now, where is the child?"
"Dead. I had someone kill me."
"you……"
He kicked the stool over in anger: "How can you kill someone if you are so stupid?"
"Are you heartbroken? Are you still thinking about the child's mother and wanting to find her and bring her back to your family so you can enjoy the happiness of having two wives?"
