Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 110 Send the lady to meet the leader?

Shen Nanqiao had seen many times when Ning Su did not give people face.

But what he didn't expect was that in front of his mentor, he could actually ignore Mrs. Xia.

Shen Nanqiao could even imagine how embarrassed Mrs. Xia would be if she was left alone.

"Actually, there's no need to make things so awkward."

This is not to say anything flattering. It is true that the backyard has its own ways, and there is no need to fall out right away.

Shen Nanqiao guessed that he might have lost his composure suddenly because he felt sore when he heard about offspring.

Thinking of this, she gently stroked the other person's arm twice. Just as she was about to say something nice, she heard the other person speak first.

"I didn't marry you just to let you suffer these grievances and listen to those gossips."

Ning Su took her hand and clenched it slightly. Even the Empress Dowager and the Queen were not worthy of making things difficult for her. Who gave Madam Xia the confidence?

Shen Nanqiao felt a little warm in her heart, knowing that this was a way to vent her anger, so she decisively stopped saying anything to spoil the fun and just said it straightforwardly.

"Thanks to my husband for his support."

Are you kidding? It’s great to have someone to support you, so why bother pretending to be virtuous and ruining the relationship between husband and wife?

Ning Su's expression obviously looked better, and the two of them walked out of the Xia family mansion.

At this time, it was just getting dark outside and the lights in the streets were already on. Ning Su took her and stood in front of the carriage at the door.

"Do you want to go back home, or go somewhere else?"

Girls rarely have the opportunity to go out shopping. Although they have some freedom after becoming a mistress, they are often busy with housework and have no time to spare.

Such an opportunity is rare, and my husband is considerate, so how can I refuse his kindness?

Shen Nanqiao made a prompt decision.

"Let's go to a restaurant for dinner. I heard that the food at Yingyue Restaurant is good and there are also Hu Ji performances. I've never been there before."

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Ning Su’s hand holding her stiffened slightly.

"There's nothing good to eat here, why don't we go to another restaurant?"

"But there is no Hu Ji." Shen Nanqiao was unusually persistent, "Shen Hong has been there several times, even Shen Jingyi has been there."

Ning Su was torn between his conscience and his desires.

On the one hand, other people have it, so my children must have it too.

On the other hand, the entire Yingyue Tower was his property. There were not only Hu concubines but also singing girls in it. What if someone was ignorant enough to point out his identity?

What would the little girl think?

Not only is her husband a eunuch, but he even runs a brothel outside.

In this moment of stunned silence, Shen Nanqiao keenly realized that the atmosphere was not right, and she spoke tentatively.

"Is it difficult?" Perhaps it was inconvenient for officials in the court to enter and leave those places, "Then forget it."

The lovely big eyes dimmed in an instant, and Ning Su made up his mind.

"Let's go."

The couple got on the carriage. Shen Nanqiao seemed to have completely forgotten what had just happened at the Taifu Mansion, and chattered to him about all kinds of trivial matters.

"After the New Year, I plan to run the dowry shop well."

"The eldest daughter of the Zhou family has some new ideas. I want to get her to invest in the jewelry store."

"I heard that ready-made clothes are very popular in the south now. My mother has a silk and satin shop on East Street, so I can do some alterations."

"All the noble ladies like to spend money in these places. They can also help you with your diplomacy. Once the harem is in order, it will be easier for you to handle affairs in the court."

Ning Su listened to her chattering, all about the mistress, and felt emotional.

"Young girls don't have to worry about these things every day. They can do what they like."

Shen Nanqiao was stunned by what he said and asked back subconsciously.

"Like what?"

"Buy some rouge and powder, go to a jewelry store, and spend some money."

Ning Su didn't understand girls' ways, but that was all.

Shen Nanqiao laughed. This guy really thinks of himself as a child.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard a commotion outside and subconsciously drew aside the curtain.

I saw people running in one direction, accompanied by some booing.

"The parade floats are coming, everyone go and take a look!"

Shen Nanqiao looked back curiously.

"What is a parade?"

Ning Su's face froze again, but he still spoke.

"It's the float that the prostitutes from the entertainment venues ride on."

Shen Nanqiao's eyes lit up immediately: "Then let's go take a look?"

"Aren't you going to eat?" Ning Su tried to interrupt, "If you're late, there won't be any seats."

Shen Nanqiao hesitated for a rare moment. Both scenes were so lively that she had never seen them before.

I could hear the people passing by outside talking loudly.

"I heard that Yixianglou also participated this year."

"Yes, there is also Huayuefang and Miss Yuying is also here. It is really a feast for the eyes."

Ning Su's face darkened.

That's impossible. These two places are where his spies hide. If the courtesan wants to show up in public to attract attention, she will definitely report to him in advance.

Yet no one mentioned this to him.

There is something fishy here.

Looking out through the open curtain, I saw a crowd of people. The front was already packed with people, looking forward to it.

Shen Nanqiao noticed that Ning Su's expression was not right.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Ning Su looked around and didn't see any secret guards or spies from the Eastern Depot, and he felt more and more that something was wrong.

He made a prompt decision to turn the carriage around.

"Go to the *** Mansion."

Shen Nanqiao was quite surprised.

"Do you want to go and pay New Year's greetings? But wouldn't it be bad to go empty-handed? Besides, there's no invitation..."

Ning Su held her slender shoulders.

"Something seems amiss on this street. The factory guards should be on duty on the first day of the new year, but I don't see anyone. I'm afraid there's going to be trouble. I'll send you to ***'s house for shelter. I have to go and investigate the matter myself."

Shen Nanqiao knew the pros and cons of this very well, so he stopped talking for fear of holding him back.

"Is it safe for you to go alone?" Her fingers felt cold. "Do you want to go get some help first?"

Ning Su smiled conceitedly.

"It's not easy to hurt me in this capital."

The *** mansion was nearby, Ning Su went up to knock on the door himself, and soon a maid came out to lead the two in.

"*** has been looking forward to Madam coming to play since early morning."

These words sounded somewhat strange to Ning Su, as if he was just an incidental person.

Before reaching the garden, I saw an open-air glazed house with gauze curtains all around.

*** was sitting inside, brewing tea by the stove, surrounded by four or five young and handsome... male concubines.

At that moment, Ning Su had the urge to turn around and take Shen Nanqiao back.
