Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 112 **To keep up appearances

That night, Ning Su really didn't come to pick her up.

***The arrangements were very thoughtful. The lakeside residence was warm as spring, with soft blankets on the floor.

Even considering her newlywed status, the silk bedding was replaced with bright red.

"I'm sorry to bother you to rest here tonight, but everything should be fine tomorrow morning." She smiled, "Of course, this depends on your husband's ability to handle things."

Shen Nanqiao selectively skipped this double entendre.

She knew there were some things she shouldn't ask, but she couldn't suppress her worries and asked tentatively.

"What happened outside tonight?"

***Outside the courtyard wall was the street. She had vaguely heard people coming and going on the street, as well as the sounds of fighting and killing.

Although he knew that there was no trouble in the capital that could not be handled by the factory guards, he still had to trouble Ning Su to stay out all night on New Year's Day.

You can imagine that it won’t be a trivial matter.

*** had no intention of hiding it from her.

"You know that there are Oirans performances in Shangjing every year, right?" Seeing Shen Nanqiao nod, she continued, "Those big brothels are all under my name."

Shen Nanqiao was dumbfounded.

Even after having seen a room full of male lovers, he was still surprised to hear that the only mistress in Da Chu was the owner of a brothel.

*** didn't seem surprised by her expression and continued to explain to her.

"But I didn't open it alone. Someone else is my partner."

Shen Nanqiao knew that these were the core secrets that were taboo in running a shop, so he smiled gently, calmly interrupted what she was about to reveal, and gave her a compliment at the right time.

"*** is really ingenious. He chose such an unconventional business and did it so well."

Any industry in the Great Chu might decline, but the entertainment venues will always be prosperous and bustling.

I saw *** sigh.

"Originally, the brothel Chuguan under my name didn't send anyone to the Oiran performance this year, but somehow, Ning Su saw it outside just now." She paused, "So there must be someone behind the scenes."

Shen Nanqiao frowned slightly, not understanding what was at stake.

*** did not hide anything and explained in detail.

"On the surface, these brothels are for people to enjoy themselves, but in private, they are also places for the transmission of intelligence, so all the spies in the capital come in and out here."

Shen Nanqiao understood most of what he heard immediately.

"You mean, there are spies from outside sneaking in here?"

*** nodded.

"So just now the housekeeper reported that a barbarian spy has kidnapped the courtesan Yu Ying and disguised himself as her, waiting for an opportunity to create chaos." She sighed softly, "Luckily, Ning Su found out, but the incident has become a big deal, and it's the first day of the new year, so I'm afraid he has to go to the palace to report the situation overnight."

As a close minister, this is inevitable.

Shen Nanqiao didn't really mind being temporarily left in Ning Su's mansion, she was worried about something else.

The next day is the second day of the Chinese New Year, and married women must return to their parents’ home.

Although Shen Jingyi was already a trapped dog at this point and was not something to be feared, she did not want to be criticized.

Especially since my grandmother was still eagerly waiting for me, it would be somewhat embarrassing for me to go back, but there was nothing I could do as it happened so suddenly.

*** seemed to see through her thoughts and smiled slightly.

"Are you worried about going back home tomorrow? No problem, I will personally take you back."

She used the word "Ben Gong" to remind Shen Nanqiao, who was slow to realize it, that this was an important figure in the circle of noble ladies in Da Chu.

Everyone knows that she is eccentric, aloof and unruly. Not only the ladies who look down on her, but even Emperor Ming has to be courteous to her.

If she personally sent someone back to her parents' home, you can imagine how many people would be envious.

Sure enough, the next morning, *** had everything ready.

After Shen Nanqiao followed her out, he was also shocked by the scene.

She used the princess' carriage bestowed by the emperor, which was extremely luxurious, and half of the carriage was filled with gifts of all sizes.

*** stuffed the gift list into her hands and chuckled.

"Hurry up and get in the car, why are you standing there like an idiot?"

Shen Nanqiao came to his senses and quickly refused.

"Princess Laodong will personally see you off, but you won't have to spend any more money on these things."

*** laughed out loud.

"These are not worth much. If you feel that it is not good to take them for free, you can return them when you return home later. It is urgent and you don't have time to prepare them now."

This made sense, so Shen Nanqiao had no choice but to agree, secretly reminding himself to repay the favor.

The two of them got on the carriage and headed straight for the Shen family. In order to give her a strong presence, *** brought two teams of guards, and the carriage was very impressive.

Shen Mingde had been feeling anxious ever since he had a falling out with his daughter last time. He wanted to find an opportunity to mend things, so he brought his entire family to wait at the alley entrance early in the morning.

He was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, so he naturally recognized the emperor's carriage.

I was still surprised at first, but when the car curtain opened, I saw my little daughter sitting with ***.

He was puzzled, but he still had to salute respectfully.

*** laughed.

"The official was called away by the emperor yesterday because of a spy incident, and he specifically asked me to escort his wife back home today." As he said this, he personally helped Shen Nanqiao down from the carriage.

Shen Mingde was completely stunned. He knew ***'s temper too well over the years. Ordinary people would never be worthy of her attention.

Not only did he personally send Shen Nanqiao back, but he was also so polite. It can be seen that this undisciplined daughter has a new backer!

*** said to Shen Nanqiao gently again.

"Have a good rest at your mother's house for a day. If the factory officials are still busy in the evening, I will come to pick you up personally and let you stay at my house."

Do you want me to come and pick you up in person? Do you want me to stay at your house?

The two words "still" simply stunned the people in the Shen residence. Seeing that their goal had been achieved, *** was satisfied and wanted to get in the car and leave.

But Shen Jingyi rushed out from somewhere, grabbed ***'s sleeve tightly, and spoke in a low voice.

"Sister, you also traveled through time, right?"
