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

Chapter 331 New Butler Shen Ziling

The poison in Chen Douzi's body broke out once, but he said it was not as painful as before and he managed to get through it.

He changes every day. He grows taller and loses a lot of his childish look. He is now about 1.45 meters tall.

This is just a change over ten days. According to the speed of time flow in space, three or four months have passed. The change is indeed amazing.

Shen Nanzhi was certain that the space could slowly repair the human body, and the speed was quite fast, which made him even happier.

Chen Douzi now looks very different from before, like a young boy, so Shen Nanzhi let him out. There is no need for him to stay in the space all the time.

With the sudden appearance of a young boy in the family, everyone had to be explained. Shen Nanzhi had already thought about it. He bought the servant himself and would not adopt him as a brother or son. He had to make sure he knew his own identity.

The indenture was there, so Shen Nanzhi had a good subordinate.

She didn't believe Chen Douzi at this time, so she fed him poison, real poison, and gave him the antidote once a month, which was found for her by Emperor Zhou, and Shen Nanzhi used it on Chen Douzi.

Chen Douzi was not angry, but very happy. He finally got rid of the appearance of a child and looked like a normal person.

As for the poison, Shen Nanzhi is not a cruel person. She was just betrayed and felt insecure. The poison made her feel at ease.

Compared with his previous masters, he likes the new master Shen Nanzhi more.

Shen Nanzhi gave him a new name, Shen Ziling. It was just a random name. Shen Nanzhi himself was not good at naming, so it was good enough that he could come up with this cultured-sounding name.

Shen Ziling, who has a brand new life, will replace Shen Huai'en as Shen Nanzhi's new secretary, well, that is, the housekeeper. As for whether he can do a good job, Shen Nanzhi is not demanding. If he can't do a good job, just replace him. But people who are of no use can only work as long-term workers and farm in the fields.

Shen Ziling naturally did not dare to slack off. He had been a killer for so many years and knew best how miserable the fate of a useless person would be.

Shen Ziling looks like a boy of eleven or twelve, but he is actually eighteen years old, which is old enough to be a father in ancient times. He is old enough to take on many things and set up a household to support a family.

After following Shen Nanzhi for a while, everyone has become accustomed to this new housekeeper.

Although the new housekeeper is young, he is experienced, has a good temper, is always smiling, and is very sweet-mouthed. He calls everyone sweetly, uncle, aunt, brother, and sister. He is quickly accepted by the villagers, and they gradually forget about their former housekeeper Shen Huai'en.

What surprised Shen Nanzhi was that Shen Ziling was educated. As a killer, he had to learn a lot of things, and he had to learn them well. If he didn't, he would lose his life.

However, Shen Ziling was only able to read and write, which was far from the level required for the imperial examination. He had no interest in taking the examination, as he was not cut out to be an official.

Shen Ziling likes his current life very much. He walks in the sunshine. People around him are very kind and care about him. He smiles every day.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. Shen Nanzhi accompanied Chen the hunter's family to stay up all night. Shen Qingshan's family also came to join in the fun. The yard was full of people, the adults were busy and the children were laughing. The New Year's Eve dinner was prepared for a whole day.

It was the first time for Shen Nanzhi to experience such a simple New Year atmosphere and she was very happy. She took the children to set off firecrackers for fun.

Shen Ziling also found the long-lost childhood happiness and had fun with them.

Shen Nanzhi was happy, but the capital city, thousands of miles away, was not so joyful and peaceful.

In the majestic and solemn imperial palace, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers were also celebrating New Year's Eve, drinking and chatting, singing and dancing, creating a joyful scene.

However, the two people sitting in the main seats were absent-minded. The one sitting on the dragon throne was the new emperor. If Shen Nanzhi were here, he would definitely be shocked because the new emperor was actually Shen Yanli.

There was another chair next to the dragon throne, and sitting on it was Shen Huai'en, the regent who was appointed in times of crisis.

They both had the same absent-minded expressions. On days like this, when they couldn't be with the person they loved, no matter how lively or joyful the day was, they felt like they were out of touch.

"Your Majesty, Regent, let us toast together and celebrate the New Year. We wish Dai Viet good weather, prosperity, good health for the people, and all the best in the coming year."

Duke Shen stood up and raised his glass to congratulate. Shen Yanli and Shen Huai'en looked at each other. This old man was actually Nan Zhi's biological father?

This is quite terrifying, but he can still laugh now. Maybe he doesn't understand Shen Nanzhi's character.

Shen Huai'en, now restored to his original name, Qi Yunxu raised his glass: "Duke Shen is thoughtful, let's raise our glasses together."

After Qi Yunxu finished drinking, the Queen Mother's mother's family, the Cheng family of Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Lord Cheng stood up and said, "The Regent is so young, he can't be without someone who understands his feelings. It's New Year's Eve, and the young ladies of various families have come to congratulate him. Why don't the Regent take a look and see if there is anyone who is worthy of his attention, and take him into the mansion to serve him."

The emperor was still young, so the court officials' eyes fell on the regent. Whoever could become the regent's wife would make the family prosperous.

Qi Yunxu said coldly: "I just want to assist the emperor in managing the world. I have no interest in love affairs. For the time being, I will not marry, take concubines, or have women."

"How can this be done? The royal family has few descendants, and the regent should expand the royal family. This is also the regent's responsibility."

Qi Yunxu had a blank expression on his face: "Is Marquis Yong'an here to teach me how to be a good person?"

"I don't dare."

"If you don't dare, then shut up. No one needs to interfere in my marriage. Stop worrying about it and do your job well. I only care about your achievements, not these messy things. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Marquis Yong'an was not angry. He bowed his head, admitted his mistake, and returned to his seat.

This is just a test. It's a good thing that the regent is not interested in women. If you can't squeeze someone into your own house, you can't squeeze someone into other people's houses either.

Families are preparing to marry off their daughters, so they start from other places.

Qi Yunxu was somewhat uninterested, and shamelessly left the little emperor behind to watch the New Year's Eve and left on his own.

Shen Yanli is not yet accustomed to his current identity. There are so many people here, and everyone is respectful to him, but he cannot guess what they are thinking.

But we could eat a lot of delicious food, wear silk and satin, and life wasn't that hard.

I wonder what Sister Nanzhi is busy with? It must be very lively, with lots of delicious food. Hey, when will the emperor's uncle take Sister Nanzhi over?

When the time comes, he will definitely invite Sister Nanzhi to appreciate the imperial palace and make her the regent princess. However, in this case, she can no longer call him sister, but has to call him imperial aunt.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about? Are you sleepy?"

It was unknown when the Queen Mother would come over and keep watch with him.

Shen Yanli immediately became alert. The empress dowager was not his biological mother, but only his stepmother. His biological mother was the emperor's most beloved cousin, Li Yuning, who was named Concubine Ning when she entered the palace and was the most favored one in the harem.

However, when Concubine Ning was giving birth, someone plotted against her and the baby was stillborn. She died of excessive bleeding due to anger and anger.

He was originally going to be thrown away by the mastermind behind the scenes, but the eunuch couldn't bear it and hid it in a night incense barrel in the palace and sent it out.

He didn't know how he survived all these years until the emperor found him.

Su Yanli trusts no one but his uncle. The empress dowager's eyes are like those of a poisonous snake, making him even more alert.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, mother."

"Where's your uncle?"

The empress dowager had no biological son, and the several princes she raised were incompetent, which the emperor did not like. He originally thought that he could always choose one to succeed him, but he did not expect that Qi Yunxu would come back with Su Yanli. The emperor was still thinking about that bitch Ning Fei, and despite the opposition of his ministers, he insisted on passing the throne to him.

The child was still young and didn't understand the situation in the harem, so the queen changed her strategy and thought about trying to please him more and make him close to her so that she could use him in the future.

"The emperor's uncle has some official business to attend to, so he's going to be busy now."

"Yun Xu is still working on New Year's Day. He is really working too hard."

"That's right. I will be filial to my uncle in the future."

The Queen Mother laughed dryly: "It should be."

……

The lively sounds of the banquet gradually faded away, and Qi Yunxu was no longer really looking after official business. He was just thinking about Shen Nanzhi.

Walking in the garden, looking at the cold moonlight, with a smile on my face, I thought to myself that heartless woman was probably having a great time celebrating the New Year. I wonder if she has thought of me.

Guard Ling Feng sent a secret report, "The latest from Ninghua County."

"Oh, open it and let me see."

Qi Yunxu finished reading the secret report under the lantern, his breathing became unstable, "She, she is really great, she found someone to replace me so quickly, she has no conscience, she is so cruel."

This is a secret report about Shen Ziling. It is learned that he is the new butler, a young man with a sweet mouth, a tender face, cheerful and intelligent, and is Shen Nanzhi's new favorite.

Even though he knew that he couldn't have anything with Shen Nanzhi due to his age, Qi Yunxu still couldn't help getting angry. Why did he have to be a housekeeper when there were so many other options? Wasn't this taking his place?

Does Shen Nanzhi feel that life is just as good without him?

Ling Feng didn't understand why the Regent was so angry, and said, "It's very strange that we can't find out the origin of Shen Ziling. It's like he suddenly appeared. I have exhausted all channels to find out his identity."

"is it?"

Qi Yunxu knew that Shen Nanzhi had a secret, but he couldn’t create a young man out of thin air, right?

"Bring all the information here, I'll go through it carefully. No one appears out of thin air. Maybe we've overlooked something."

"Yes, Miss Shen just went to the capital to settle the matter of the Yang family. There is another thing. The second son of the Yang family works for the Yongan Marquis's son. He wants to leave now. The Yongan Marquis's son will be dissatisfied and will probably kill him to silence him."

"Marquis Yong'an is quite arrogant. Protect him first and don't let him die. Nan Zhi values ​​relationships and will be sad if someone she is familiar with dies."

Ling Feng agreed, Qi Yunxu asked him to go down and go back to the study to look through all the information.

He couldn't sleep the whole night because he was angry with Shen Nanzhi.

But he couldn't find out Shen Ziling's origins. After all, the space was too magical and beyond his imagination.

"Nanzhi, how can I feel at ease when you are so dishonest?"

Qi Yunxu broke off all the romantic opportunities around Shen Nanzhi, but he still felt uneasy. She was too troublesome and so outstanding, and he couldn't get away from her. What if she was snatched away by someone else?

Yang Lingyu is also a variable. Qi Yunxu will feel uneasy as long as he doesn't have him by his side.

"Ling Feng, go check what Duke Shen has been busy with recently. Does he really not want his illegitimate daughter?"
