Everyone who attended the wedding today received a gift.
Another noblewoman received the red jade hairpin that she had wanted for a long time but couldn't bear to buy.
The noblewoman was overjoyed, and any prejudice she had against Nanzhi had completely vanished.
"The city lord's wife is truly beautiful and thoughtful. Her child looks just like the city lord. The city lord is truly blessed."
Nan Zhi had already finished the wedding ceremony and gone to the bridal chamber, so she wasn't there at the moment. Her personal maidservant spoke on Nan Zhi's behalf: "Thank you for your kind words, Madam Zhou. The City Lord's wife heard that your daughter likes peach slice pastries, so she had some packed up. Please remember to take some with you when you go back later."
When Madam Zhou saw that Nanzhi not only remembered her, but also knew her daughter's preferences, she felt extremely admiring.
Everyone came here today to see Nam Chi make a fool of themselves, but in the end, they all left with praise.
Nan Wan stood aside watching this scene, and curled her lips in disdain.
If it were her, she would definitely have done better than Nan Zhi.
Thinking this, Nan Wan suddenly saw Shen Huaixu preparing to return to the bridal chamber.
He was dressed in a scarlet wedding robe, and his appearance was even more stunning than it had been three years ago.
Perhaps he had drunk too much, for his eyebrows and eyes were tinged with a thin layer of red, and his originally aloof and indifferent phoenix eyes became more hazy, making him look exceptionally lustful.
Nan Wan suddenly had a bold plan in her mind.
Seeing that the man was walking unsteadily, she quietly followed him and called out to him in a soft, sweet voice.
"Brother Shen."
When Shen Huaixu turned around and saw her, his expression was slightly dazed.
She continued to look at him with compassionate and affectionate eyes, trying to remind him of the good things she had done for him in the past.
“Brother Shen, your sister has treated you so badly. Even if you want to get revenge on her, you shouldn’t sacrifice your own happiness.”
"Brother Shen, do you still remember Wanwan?"
"Wanwan has always liked you."
“Wanwan is nineteen now, and she is still a virgin. She has kept her virginity, only wanting to give it to Brother Shen.”
She walked up to him and reached out to take his hand and touch her.
Men are driven by their lower instincts; with just a little seduction, few can resist temptation.
On Nan Zhi's wedding night, the groom was late in returning home, and it was later discovered that he was having an affair with her, which was enough to make Nan Zhi a laughingstock in Qingzhou for the rest of her life.
Yes, Nan Wan has lost her mind.
She couldn't bear to see Nanzhi doing well, even if it would ruin her own reputation; she didn't want Nanzhi to have an easy time.
Moreover, she had been longing for Shen Huaixu's current status and appearance for a long time, so she was naturally a bit impatient for quick results.
But to everyone's surprise, Shen Huaixu suddenly smiled and asked, "You're clean?"
Nan Wan's expression froze.
Looking at Shen Huaixu, whose expression was clear, she suddenly felt uneasy.
"Nan Wan, do you really think I know nothing about what happened back then?"
"...Brother Shen, what do you mean?"
What exactly caused Li Shaoqin's death?
Nan Wan's face turned slightly pale.
She seemed carefree all these years, but no one knew that she often had nightmares in which the two of them were trying to take her life.
For now, she is still pretending to be calm.
"Brother Shen, didn't you kill Li Shaoqin? I took the blame for you..."
"She even gave herself to the coroner."
Shen Huaixu's casual remark turned Nan Wan's face deathly pale.
"If I'm not mistaken, those two guards I left behind have also become your subjects."
"Brother Shen, have you misunderstood something?" Nan Wan bit her lip. "Did my sister say something to you?"
Shen Huaixu's lips curled into a slightly cold smile: "She wouldn't even deign to slander you."
"But I was so good to you. Didn't you have feelings for me back then? Otherwise, why would you have accepted the lotus flowers I gave you?"
Shen Huaixu smiled sarcastically, "Because I want to see just how hypocritical you really are."
The moment Shen Huaixu met Nan Wan, he knew she was not of pure heart.
If she really wanted to help him, she wouldn't just keep saying it.
She has a pure and gentle face, but the things she does are incredibly dirty.
When he was in the Southern Mansion, he saw Lin Ancheng climb over her courtyard wall several times. When she returned from distributing porridge outside, she would always have an indescribable smell on her body.
He smelled that same scent again when Nan Wan confessed that she had killed Li Shaoqin.
It smelled like rotting flesh.
The coroner also had it on him, but the smell was faint and disappeared quickly.
Her aura was so intense it was nauseating.
She could fool others, but she couldn't fool him with his keen sense of smell.
"Don't you enjoy seeing your sister make a fool of herself?"
Shen Huaixu's lips slowly curved into a smile: "From now on, you will stay in the City Lord's Mansion and watch how glorious she becomes."
With each word Shen Huaixu uttered, Nan Wan's face paled a shade higher.
Finally, watching him turn and step into the bridal chamber, she collapsed to the ground, her body going limp.
how so……
Which step went wrong?
Why does he know everything?
In that instant, all the embarrassment surged up, making her feel that every gaze directed at her was a mockery.
"Tsk tsk, so she's the lady's sister. I didn't expect her to be so shameless, trying to seduce her own brother-in-law."
"Didn't you hear what the city lord said? This woman is very promiscuous and even slandered the madam. The madam and the city lord have such a good relationship, how could she possibly sow discord between them?"
A crowd had gathered around her, pointing and whispering.
Nan Wan screamed in despair, "I didn't! It wasn't me! Get out of my way!"
Shen Huaixu stepped into the bridal chamber and saw Nanzhi sitting obediently by the bed, her head covered with a red veil.
He removed the ceremonial scales and lifted the veil, revealing a bright and beautiful face.
