Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 122 Who is the mysterious man?

After his rebirth, Shen Nanqiao believed more and more in supernatural things.

For a moment, she even felt her mother coming.

This was the first time her most beloved daughter came home for the New Year after her marriage, and she was expressing her feelings in this way.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanqiao inexplicably felt a little comforted.

Ning Su has been working in the East Factory for many years, so naturally he has seen more than her.

Seeing this, he reached out and took the flower from Shen Nanqiao, looked at it again and again, and smelled it.

With the little light from the window, he could see clearly that the base of the plum blossom had very neat cutting marks, which meant that it was not picked in a hurry and put in the vase.

Not Shen Hong, Shen Hong is allergic to pollen.

It wouldn't be Shen Mingde. If he had this intention, he would have found a way to send Shen Nanqiao over and at least take credit for it.

Who could it be? Old Lady Shen?

Shen Nanqiao seemed to understand his thoughts and shook his head slightly.

"My mother's courtyard was sealed off by the old lady herself. Over the years, Aunt Xu has tried to move in several times, but the old lady said that unless she died, no one would be allowed to touch a single inch of the courtyard, so she would never send anyone in."

Shen Nanqiao took the plum blossom from Ning Su's hand and sniffed it gently.

"It is said that this bougainvillea was planted by my mother the year she gave birth to me. Her family is the only one in the house that has it."

Ning Su cast his gaze on the flower with amusement.

So it seems that in the whole house, only the late Mrs. Shen was qualified to pick such a branch for her daughter.

He raised the corners of his lips and changed the subject unexpectedly.

"Take me to see your room. Girls' things look quite novel."

Shen Nanqiao put the plum blossoms back into the vase.

"Have you never been to a girl's boudoir?" Seeing Ning Su frown, she added, "Even when investigating a case?"

Ning Su looked at this exquisitely designed bedroom calmly. The room was not actually very spacious, but the vase-carrying racks used as partitions made it look particularly well-arranged.

"Did you design this room yourself?"

Shen Nanqiao shook his head.

"My mother decorated my boudoir before she passed away. It has never been moved over the years. It is still the same as when she was here."

This was not an ordinary boudoir, there were even some strange designs inside, but the little girl was ignorant and didn't quite understand it.

Ning Su became more and more concerned.

"Your maternal grandfather was a famous merchant in the south, right?" He seemed to be chatting casually, "After the first month of the lunar year, I will go with you to visit your relatives?"

Although Shen Nanqiao didn't know what his intention was, Ning Su never spoke or acted without a purpose.

"Do you think we can find some clues in my grandparents' house?"

Ning Su did not answer but asked: "How much do you know about my grandfather's house?"

Shen Nanqiao frowned slightly.

My mother's family was originally important officials of the previous dynasty. Because the previous dynasty collapsed at that time, they were exiled to the south. However, Emperor Gaozu did not criticize them harshly and still allowed them to study and take examinations, so the family has a scholarly family for generations.

By the time my uncle's generation came around, they started a business, first selling cloth and grain, and later they added rouge and powder, and gradually they became a wealthy family in the south.

Later, he even became an imperial merchant and enjoyed unparalleled glory.

As for Shen Nanqiao's mother, she was sent to the capital because she wanted to participate in a talent show, but for some unknown reason, she later married into the Shen family.

Although she did not have a very deep relationship with Minister Shen, she was loved by her mother-in-law and had close friends like Madam Xia who visited her from time to time, so she did not feel lonely.

But Shen Nanqiao was quite disappointed by Mrs. Xia's true appearance the day before. To this day, she began to doubt what kind of life her mother lived back then.

Seeing that she was lost in thought, Ning Su simply brought up the topic.

"Your maternal grandfather has been living in seclusion for many years. Business in the Jiangnan area is mostly handled by your two uncles."

"Maybe it's because of my old age?" Shen Nanqiao carefully recalled her past life. Until her death, she had never heard of anything unusual in her grandparents' house. "So what do you want to say?"

"Have you ever considered that your mother might still be alive?"

It was like thunder out of the blue, and Shen Nanqiao retorted subconsciously.

"That's impossible. She was buried in the Shen family's ancestral tomb. I have been going there to pay my respects every year."

"Did you see her buried?"

Shen Nanqiao was stumped by the question.

When her mother passed away, she was still at her maternal grandparents' home. She rushed back day and night, but she only managed to bury her mother.

"Even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, the Shen family is not blind. How could they bury an empty coffin?"

Ning Su shrugged.

"Why isn't it possible?"

Shen Nanqiao was stumped by the question.

Yes, if Shen Mingde knew that he was cuckolded, then it is possible that a person would do anything in anger?

"Then my mother is indeed sick?" Shen Nanqiao speculated on various possibilities, "He couldn't possibly have thrown my mother into a mass grave, right?"

Ning Su looked at her meaningfully, and Shen Nanqiao stared at him with wide eyes.

"Are you going to open the coffin and do an autopsy? That's absolutely not possible!"

She would rather not know the truth than disturb her mother's peace in the underground.

Ning Su reached out and touched her head.

"You think too much. These are just guesses." He paused, "But some things should be revealed soon."

Shen Nanqiao's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"What do you mean?"

Ning Su suddenly stopped talking.

"Let's discuss this carefully after we get back." He looked at Shen Nanqiao, "What if your mother is still alive, or if you know who your biological father is?"

Shen Nanqiao was stunned by the question.

After a long while, he slowly spoke.

"If mother were still alive, I would just want to ask her what made her so cruelly abandon us siblings for so many years." She clenched her fists, her eyes gradually becoming fiercer, "Also, I want to know who this irresponsible man is. I'm sure he won't have an easy life in the second half of his life!"
