Hou Men’s Poison Queen: After rebirth, I took revenge on my whole family

Chapter 39 Like a kitten being fed

Wintersweet's cries almost echoed throughout the entire Hou Mansion.

Nan Xian was sitting by the window, and two girls, Yicui and Siqin, were standing at the door of the yard.

Seeing Nan Xian looking over, the two girls obediently bowed to Nan Xian.

Nan Xian closed the window, and the cry of wintersweet outside became much quieter.

"That girl cried so miserably, but a slave who deceives his master should be punished."

A male voice sounded from behind.

Nan Xian turned around suddenly and looked at Shi Shenting who had appeared in her simple house at some unknown time.

She quickly opened the window a crack and looked at the guards and the two girls outside the yard, "How did you get in?"

"Don't worry, the people in this house are not alarmed. They are too incompetent. If they want to find me, they are still too young."

Shi Shenting held up his crow-green robe and sat on the creaking stool of Nanxian.

He slightly furrowed his sword eyebrows, "You are also the legitimate young lady in this prince's mansion. Although you were raised in a village, do they give you this kind of treatment?"

Nan Xian took two steps towards Shi Shenting and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What is it about my eldest daughter? Didn't I tell you a long time ago? I am just a dog raised in the Hou Mansion."

She stopped where she was and stopped walking in the direction of Shi Shenting.

Shi Shenting frowned and saw that she had stopped moving, "Why don't you come closer to me? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

"Your Highness should have heard why I was locked up in this courtyard? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death by me?"

Shi Shenting's narrow sharp eyes showed a slight smile, "If I were really afraid of being poisoned by you, I wouldn't come over to see you."

"Look what I do?"

Shi Shenting paused in his movements, then took out a warm package and unfolded it. Inside were pieces of baked cakes.
"Eat, I see you didn't have dinner tonight either."

Nan Xian looked at Shi Shenting in surprise. He didn't know how long he had been here, but he even knew that she hadn't had dinner.

Shi Shenting put his slender fingers together and tapped the table, signaling Nan Xian to eat quickly.

There were some things that I couldn't explain or understand. I just occasionally thought of Nan Xian's skinny body, so when Shi Shenting was eating snacks in the palace, he brought one to Nan Xian. "They secretly put medicine in my food."

Nanxian lowered his eyes, picked up the piece of pancake in the small package, and took a bite.

Shi Shenting watched her eating in small bites, looking cautious and alert, like a kitten being fed.

Weak and pathetic.

He asked half-faced, with a hint of laziness, "Why do they put drugs in your food?"

He only knew a little bit about what was going on in the Yongding Hou Mansion, and he would have to put some effort into asking for more detailed information.

Shi Shenting asked himself that his curiosity about Nanxian had not reached that level yet. After all, it was a private matter of the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

In the past, he only thought that the Hou Mansion locked up Nan Xian because Nan Xian was poisoned and because he contradicted Mrs. Hou and embarrassed the Hou Mansion.

But I didn't expect that there should be a deeper reason inside.

Nan Xian continued to chuckle and finished the sweet pancake in his hand, "Your Highness, has anyone ever told you that curiosity will kill a cat?"

In the imperial capital, Shi Shenting's situation was not very good to begin with. Most of the civil and military officials in the court were on the side of the fifth prince Shi Heng, and the voices in the court supporting Shi Heng as the prince were always loud.

And Shi Shenting seemed to have been forgotten by the entire imperial capital.

If Shi Shenting hadn't had an ambiguous relationship with Nan Xian in his previous life, Shi Shenting would never have been noticed by Shi Heng.

Since he can protect himself in this way, he should continue like this. Don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked, and it's best not to take care of things that shouldn't be dealt with.

I believe that in this life, after everything changes, Shi Shenting will not ask to marry Nanxian just because he cares about Nanxian's reputation.

Nan Xian will not marry Shi Heng in a hurry.

There was nothing Nan Xueer could do to frame Nan Xian for having an affair with Shi Shenting.

Staying away from Nanxian, Shi Shenting will live a good life.

Shi Shenting didn't speak. He pursed his thin lips tightly and looked at Nan Xian with his deep eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking.
