Shen Ningzhu just found it a little funny.
"What if I don't?"
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, a terrifying light flashed in his cold and majestic eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile, almost saying with certainty,
"I know you've always been afraid of death. I can promise you that when the Emperor returns to the capital and investigates your escape, I will help you maneuver and save your life."
Shen Ningzhu blinked.
What does that mean? Don’t they know that Jinxiu Huanian is her child?
But one thing did remind her.
It's time to cut off all ties with these people.
So as not to affect Jinxiu Huanian's reputation in the future. "If you want me to let Chen Ningxue go, it's not impossible."
Liu Zhiyi frowned, "Zhuzhu..."
Shen Ningzhu gave her a reassuring look, then turned around and said to the others,
"But I have one condition."
Shen Yu, "Tell me about it."
Chen Ningzhu took a deep breath and said, "I want you to write a letter of severance, stating that from now on, you and I are strangers and have no further connection."
In this era, filial piety is more important than anything else.
She couldn't let anyone use this to take advantage of her and her two children.
As soon as the words fell, Shen Chenyi's handsome face lost its composure for the first time and he shouted loudly, "No."
"Yier?"
Jiang Wanwan shouted angrily, "Don't forget that your sister is still suffering in the temple. You care about her and love her like a sister, but she would rather cut off all ties with you."
Otherwise, such a request would not be made.
Chen Chenyi bowed respectfully to Jiang Wanwan and said in a deep voice, "I don't agree with breaking off the engagement. Mother, father, Zhuzhu is young and naive. Let's talk to her properly. I believe that with time, she will understand."
Shen Chenxi also said awkwardly,
"Big brother is right. Although she... it doesn't mean she will break off the relationship, right?"
After saying that, he glared at Shen Ningzhu fiercely, as if blaming her for being ignorant.
Chen Ningzhu was really tired, her head felt like it was going to explode. She just wanted to cut the Gordian knot and didn't want to argue with them anymore.
The index finger pressed hard on the temple.
"I just want your unique preference. If you can't give it to me, I'd rather not have it. So, there's no need to say anything. Let's break off the relationship."
Chen Chenyi angrily grabbed her wrist and said word by word with a dark face,
"Do you know what you are doing? You have offended the emperor. The prime minister alone is not enough."
"As long as you are still my sister, even if you are just my adopted sister, based on this relationship, my father and I will have the standing to speak a few good words for you in the court."
The emperor has a violent temper, and even so, she is afraid that she will not be able to escape death.
Thinking of this, Shen Chenyi's eyes became even more worried.
Chen Ningzhu felt that she could no longer get rid of them, so she directly ordered Chen Aniu to send the guests away.
Seeing that she was stubborn and unyielding, several people were so angry that they almost died, but they had no other choice but to write a letter of severance on the spot.
Chen Ningzhu took it and looked at it carefully. Seeing that there was no problem, she signed her name and then handed it to Chen Aniu, asking him to go to the Jingzhao government office to register later.
The way he threw away the burden made several people so angry that they couldn't stand still.
"You ungrateful bastard, why am I..."
"Shut up--"
"If you keep howling at me, I'll have you dragged out of the house. And don't even think about letting me off the hook regarding Shen Ningxue."
Zhao Meihua was stunned by the yelling, and looked at Chen Ningzhu with extremely vicious eyes, as if she wanted to bite off some pieces of her flesh.
“Go away, as for Shen Ningxue, you can just go and pick her up tomorrow, no one will stop you.”
…
My ears are finally quiet.
The two best friends came to the boudoir which had been decorated, and Liu Zhiyi took the initiative to tell Chen Ningzhu everything that happened on the farm that day.
"I had already warned them, but I didn't expect them to dare to come to you and cause trouble, and they chose to come right after you arrived. I'm so angry."
"Okay, I know you feel bad for me, but this is ancient times, and there are too many rules, making things inconvenient. But from now on, it will be much easier."
Liu Zhiyi understood that she was talking about the letter of severance.
It's worth using Chen Ningxue to exchange for a free future.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Someone, bring some hot water. Once Zhuzhu has washed up, we'll serve the food."
"yes."
Chen Ningzhu was really exhausted. She forced herself to finish washing up, had some light and easily digestible meals, and went to bed.
I slept until the afternoon of the next day.
As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw two dirty kids digging in the dirt beside the flower bed. When they heard the noise, they turned their heads. When they saw Chen Ningzhu, their eyes lit up. They threw away the small shovels and rakes in their hands, cheered and ran over, saying in unison,
"Mother~~~~"
Seeing that they were still lively and cheerful, I realized that they were well protected and taken care of.
What happened in Luoshui Town did not scare them.
She hadn't appeared for so long, so they weren't too worried or scared. Shen Ningzhu felt relieved, knowing that her best friend was the most reliable person in the world.
"Long time no see, do you kids miss your mother?"
"I want to..."
"By the way, where's your aunt?"
Shen Jinxiu rushed to speak, "Where else can we go? Godfather is here, so Auntie will follow Godfather into the house and spend time with him."
Chen Ningzhu raised her eyebrows. This little guy, he even knows what it means to be in love with each other?
But it seems that the relationship between those two is really good. After just one day of not seeing each other, they can't wait to see each other... ahem...
Shen Ningzhu curled her lips, feeling happy for Liu Zhiyi.
At this moment, the door across the street suddenly opened, and Liu Zhiyi came out with a red face and said with a smile,
"Zhuzhu is awake? Someone, go and bring the warm food on the stove."
He glared at Shen Jinxiu again with an angry look.
"Don't talk nonsense. Auntie just had something to say to your godfather, so she came back to the house."
Jinxiu Huanian: Tsk, we’ve seen you two fighting on horseback and biting each other on the lips many times.
I just saw it through the crack in the door.
It's still the same as before, you bite me, I bite you, pushing and shoving, there's nothing new about it. I don't understand why adults are so weird, don't they get tired of it?
Two little heads with big question marks in them.
Song Hanchuan cleared his throat and said,
"Miss Shen, tomorrow is an auspicious day. I would like to bring a matchmaker here to propose marriage. What do you think?"
Chen Ningzhu looked at Liu Zhiyi and saw that she lowered her head, unable to hide the curled corners of her lips. She sighed jokingly and said, "Girls cannot be kept when they grow up. If you keep them, they will only turn into enemies."
I agreed.
The next day, the news that the prince had arranged a marriage for the prime minister spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the streets and alleys.
At the same hour, 128 loads of betrothal gifts were carried out of the Prime Minister's residence and headed towards the west of the city.
When Pei Yunchu heard the news, he cursed Song Hanchuan for being heartless and forgetting his old friend so quickly.
"Come here, prepare the horses."
"I want to go and see what kind of background that woman has. What kind of beauty does she have that can actually make Song Hanchuan, who has abstained from sex for many years, spend all his family wealth to marry her."
