After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 391 The Regent is a gay man

Shen Nanzhi doesn't have time to see Princess Anguo. She has so many things to do. Ning Wu and Jiang Chen are too lazy to pack up, so how can they have time to see her?

As a result, she didn't go to Duke Shen's Mansion, so Princess Anguo came there on her own.

The Imperial City Office also had office clerks who did some logistical chores, and they were not all warriors. There were also people in the yamen who served specifically, just like the office clerks in later generations, but now they were called clerks, not of a high rank, and it was a sinecure. There was not much work to do, but it would give them a better reputation if they were to speak out.

Generally they are relatives of the thousand or hundred households. The society based on favors has been like this since ancient times and can be found everywhere.

Shen Nanzhi hasn't changed either, and someone is also needed to maintain internal operations. It doesn't matter who he uses.

The logistics manager's surname is Chen. He is very capable and every time Shen Nanzhi is in the yamen, he will serve him personally to make himself familiar to him.

Today he personally brought Princess Anguo in, "Master Nan, Princess Anguo is here to see you."

Shen Nanzhi was very surprised. Why did she come?

When someone comes to your house, you have to entertain them. Shen Nanzhi said politely, "Hello, Princess. Please sit down and serve tea."

He put down the official documents and sat down with her. He found that Princess Anguo's eyes were a little strange today. She looked at him with such kindness that it made him feel uneasy.

"The princess came to see me, is there something wrong?"

"You and my Duke are sworn brothers, and you saved Ning'er. I want to invite you to my home for a meal. Why won't Master Nan do me the honor?"

Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and said, "I am busy with official duties. The princess is too polite. I really don't want to trouble the princess."

"We are all family, how can it be a problem? Where is the Nansi master's family from? Who are his relatives? Are they married?"

This question confused Shen Nanzhi: "What do you mean, Princess? Just say it directly."

Princess Anguo likes straightforward people, and she is even more satisfied with this son-in-law. "Okay, then I'll be frank. What do you think of my Ning'er?"

"Miss Shen is simple and cute, so naturally she is very good."

"Then how about you marry her and become the son-in-law of Duke Shen's mansion? Don't worry, Ning'er is our first daughter. We have loved her like the apple of our eye since she was a child. The dowry will definitely be generous. You can put forward any conditions you have, and we will try our best to meet them."

Her daughter is only slightly inferior to a princess or a county lord, and is even better than a prince consort. She is free and has no royal constraints.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't believe it and almost laughed out loud. It was really funny that Princess Anguo was thinking like this.

"The princess made this arrangement. Do Duke Shen and Miss Shen know about it? Will Miss Shen agree? I treat her as a junior. If she calls me uncle, doesn't this mess up the generations?"

Princess Anguo disagreed: "I can make the decision, you don't need to worry about these things, what uncle and niece, you are just playing around with my Duke.

I know the Duke's character. If we like each other, he'll be good in every way. Not only will he become sworn brothers with you, he'll even adopt you as his adopted son.

But since it concerns his daughter's happiness, he can also not want you as his brother. There is such a big difference between you and him. A man who can be a son doesn't have to recognize you as his brother. He is making trouble, so you can't follow him.

All you have to do is nod, and our family will take care of the rest."

The clerks serving on the side were all moved and wanted to nod for her.

Shen Nanzhi shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't obey your order."

"why?"

Princess Anguo felt that he had no reason to refuse. "Is it because of Ning'er's kidnapping? You rescued her yourself, so you naturally know that she is innocent. Could it be that you are so pedantic that you despise my Ning'er?"

Princess Anguo was a little angry. Her daughter Ning'er was just unlucky and was kidnapped. It was not her fault, so why did everyone blame her?

"That's not it. Everyone knows that Miss Shen is innocent. Those who spread rumors know better than she does how wronged she is.

This is the way the world is. They only satisfy the darkness in their hearts and don't care whether Miss Shen is innocent or not.

If the princess is anxious to get Miss Shen married because of rumors, she will be harming her. Unless she is strong and can face any storm, she is suitable for marriage. "

Princess Anguo looked unhappy, but she was not angry. What she said made sense.

"Then why can't you marry Ning'er? You said it so well, I am moved. With such good character, I believe you will treat Ning'er well. I am also willing to support you so that you can live a good life. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Shen Nanzhi continued to shake her head. She was thinking, isn't that thing not there?

"Princess, this is just your wishful thinking. You have based your daughter's marriage on profit rather than emotion. I cannot agree with you.

I don't want to say anything more. I will never get married in this life. I have devoted everything to official duties. The Imperial City Department and the Regent are everything to me. Goodbye."

Shen Nanzhi didn't want to talk to her anymore. It was true that she loved her daughter, but her method was wrong. Moreover, everything she did to the original owner had cost her life. If she talked too much to her, she would become impatient and afraid that she would not be able to suppress the murderous intent in her heart.

Such a woman, no matter how gentle she appears and how good she is to Duke Shen, is selfish and arrogant at heart. She doesn't care about the original owner's life at all, just like a cat or a dog, who dies and dies cleanly.

Everything that was getting in the way of her good life had to be cleared away.

Princess Anguo's face darkened. This man was really stubborn.

Qi Yunxu just walked in. "My princess, you are such a rare guest. How come you have time to come to my Imperial City?"

Princess Anguo stood up and said, "Nothing to do. I just came in to take a look. I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye."

She was unwilling to leave, and looked back, and found that Qi Yunxu was staring at Nanzhi tenderly. Nanzhi was no longer indifferent, and looked at him with tenderness, and was shocked. Could it be...

If that's the case, it would be a good thing not to marry him.

Princess Anguo hurried back home. Duke Shen was wiping his sword. "You're back? Where did you go?"

"I went to the Imperial City Division. Guess what I found?"

"What? Are you still thinking of letting your daughter marry my brother? That's unbelievable."

"No, I don't want to now, because your sworn brother is gay."

"This is impossible."

"How is that impossible? You can't hide your love for someone. I even saw his adulterer."

"Who is it?"

Duke Shen couldn't sit still any longer. He had to persuade his brother to mend his ways. If he didn't go to a brothel, how could he like a man?

"Regent."

Princess Anguo whispered, her eyes full of excitement, he is not her son-in-law anymore, but it seems that the two of them are quite energetic and look like a good match.

"You, don't talk nonsense. If you spread rumors about the Regent, you'll get into trouble."

"I'll just tell you a little, but I dare not tell anyone else. Think about it, although the woman hidden in the palace by the Regent is beautiful, she is not so beautiful that a man would do anything for her, right?

She is not worthy of the Regent. The life-saving grace is just a trick to deceive outsiders. If the Regent has a man who is not worthy of the light in his heart, then the woman is just a decoration. This can be explained."

Duke Shen actually felt that it made sense.

What they didn't know was that Shen Kening was about to come in with some snacks. She heard all these words and didn't even bother to go in. She hurried to find Shen Nanzhi.
