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

Chapter 359 Qi Yunxu's Hardship

Yang Lingyu sincerely hopes that Shen Nanzhi and the Regent can succeed. Since he is Miss Nanzhi's man, he is also the Regent's man. Wouldn't he have a backer in the future?

But she also knew that Miss Nanzhi was not so easy to please, and if the Regent wanted to marry the beauty, he would have to spend some effort.

If he could say something good about the Regent, the Regent would look at him with new eyes.

Yang Lingyu was sent away. This man had a lot of evil intentions. People really put profit first. As long as the Regent could bring wealth and glory to the Yang family, he would be on his side and completely forgot who was helping him.

This is human nature. Yang Lingyu is not that bad, so Shen Nanzhi didn't bother with him.

It was already late when Qi Yunxu came back. He first looked at Shen Nanzhi. His cold and solemn demeanor immediately melted away, and a smile appeared on his cold and majestic face: "Are you still awake?"

"Well, you've worked hard. The kitchen has prepared some noodles. Would you like to eat some?"

Qi Yunxu felt warm in his heart. He really hadn't had time to eat yet. He nodded and said, "Okay."

The kitchen quickly delivered a simple dish of tomato and egg noodles, which was too greasy to eat in the evening.

After a busy day, nothing is more comfortable than eating a bowl of noodles. The big fish and meat outside are not as good as the light porridge, side dishes, vegetarian noodles and pickles at home.

"Miss Shen hasn't been found yet?"

"Well, we found a dead horse and a body of a guard on the road. It seems they were abducted."

"That's not good. Does Duke Shen have a grudge against anyone? This is targeting his family."

"Duke Shen is currently investigating the Ruyi Sect case. He has destroyed many of the Ruyi Sect's strongholds and arrested tens of thousands of people. I suspect this is revenge by the Ruyi Sect.

I have asked the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and Jingzhao Prefecture to jointly investigate, and the city gates have been sealed. We must find the person, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Duke Shen when he comes back."

Shen Nanzhi felt depressed. This matter had something to do with her. She and Ruyimen were at war to the death, and she had assassins from Ruyimen under her command.

"Ruyimen must have some big shots backing them up in the capital. I think the government offices shouldn't investigate ordinary people. Perhaps these wealthy families should be the focus."

Qi Yunxu sighed, "It's easier said than done. I have the Imperial City Division under my command, and I have planted many spies to investigate in secret.

You don't have to worry about it, I'll take care of it.

I heard that you had a conflict with the Cheng family today?"

"Yeah, am I doing something wrong? Is it making it difficult for you?"

Qi Yunxu finished his noodles, rinsed his mouth, wiped it, and said, "You, don't test me. If you really try to guess my thoughts carefully, you won't be Shen Nanzhi anymore."

"You knew that, yet you're still asking? This guy provoked me first, and I didn't break his legs because of you.

"Alas, Lord Shen loves his daughter so much, he will go crazy if he finds out!"

"I have already had someone notify him. Even if I don't do it, Princess Anguo will find him back. She is a difficult woman."

"As a daughter of heaven and a princess, it's only natural for you to be a little proud. It's getting late, so go back and rest. I won't leave the house recently and won't cause any trouble for you."

Qi Yunxu immediately felt guilty: "No need. I'm not letting you live here to restrict you. You can have fun however you want. Anyone who doesn't open his eyes will be beaten to death. Anyway, there are too many playboys and idiots in the capital. Getting rid of a group of them will also help to clean up the atmosphere."

"You're using my hands again?"

"Well, if you say so, I can't explain it. Just be happy."

"Of course I won't let myself down. Your woman of unknown origin is still living in your house. I can change into men's clothes and go out. It will save me some trouble. I'm not a belligerent person who picks fights with people all day long.

Okay, go back, I need to rest too."

Qi Yunxu didn't want to leave: "I'll stay here for a while, you take a rest, I'll sit outside for a while."

“No, I am not your woman. If you stay too long, what will the servants think of me?

If you continue like this, I will move out tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Shen Nanzhi waved his hand and went to rest. Qi Yunxu left alone, his back looking somewhat desolate and pitiful.

The servants looked at each other, thinking that the Regent really spoiled her. She was chased away without the girl even saying goodbye, as if she was the master and the Regent was his concubine.

If people outside knew about this, they would be even more shocked.

As for Qi Yunxu's identity, he didn't say it himself, but Shen Nanzhi could guess it. Cheng Wenhui even pointed out that she was the regent's woman. If you still can't guess it, then your brain is not good enough.

But if you think about it, you can understand that, apart from the regent, who else has such great power that can make the local officials fear and dismiss them from their posts immediately? It can only be the regent who holds great power.

Shen Nanzhi had never thought about this before, but now that it was confirmed, she felt relieved. Such a thick golden thigh was hers.

……

Nothing happened that night. Shen Nanzhi went out again, having changed into men's clothes. He looked handsome and suave, but he did not dress like a pretty boy. He put on brown foundation and made his skin look wheat-colored, which made him less eye-catching.

With An Xin and An Ning, they continued shopping. They were also dressed as servants and their walk had more masculine features so that no one could see through them at a glance.

The people trained by Ruyimen are indeed excellent, but it's a pity that they don't follow the right path.

Qi Yunxu may not need to wipe out the Ruyi Sect completely. He can use Ruyi Sect's methods to train his own secret guards and serve the country, which is also a good way to make use of waste.

Talk to him later.

Now Shen Nanzhi is unknowingly sharing some of the burden with Qi Yunxu, hoping to reduce his stress.

Since ancient times, regents have never had a good ending. Either they are abandoned by the young emperor after he comes of age and goes to war, or they are not tolerated by the world. The court officials do not want to have such a regent suppressing them.

After all, the regent is not a real emperor. In the final analysis, he is in charge of the world, which is not a legitimate job, so the job of regent is not easy.

If it were Shen Nanzhi, he would definitely not accept this job. It would be better for him to be the emperor himself, as it would be a thankless job.

I chose a busy teahouse and sat down in the lobby. After all, it was more convenient to travel in men's clothes, and people wouldn't look at me like a foreigner.

Women in ancient times were so miserable. They had to worry so much when they went out.

Everyone was whispering to each other. Shen Nanzhi, carrying snacks and fruits, quickly joined the next table. They were all talking about the disappearance of the daughter of Duke Shen.

As he spoke, it became a bit unpleasant to hear. Shen Nanzhi sighed in his heart, even if Miss Shen was found, her reputation would be ruined.

That's not right. How could the Shen family allow the news to leak out? They shouldn't have blocked the news. Did the government conduct a secret investigation under the pretext of searching for a wanted criminal?

There must be something fishy going on here.
