Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 837 Cousin
"Cousin." Xiahou Lingche greeted the woman politely.

Nan Surou narrowed her eyes slightly, she hardly recognized the person in front of her, whether eight years was long or short.

When Nan Jiezhen was still Mrs. Wei, she was much uglier than she is now...

It seems that Nan Jie has made a lot of progress after going through a catastrophe of regime change.

Nan Jiezhen nodded politely to Xiahou Lingche, then shifted her gaze to Nan Surou who was beside Xiahou Lingche, and was unable to say a word for a while.

And at this moment, a Mr. Pian Pian walked in from the outside.

The man said politely: "Auntie, you are back."

Nan Surou followed the prestige, and saw that the speaker was wearing a navy blue brocade robe, his hair was half tied with a jade crown, his skin was fair, his facial features were handsome, and his figure was tall.

It is no wonder that Nan Surou is not familiar with this voice, because after eight years, the speaker's voice has become mature.

Nan Qiansong now looks much plumper compared to eight years ago. At that time, he was a boy in the period of upright growth, with a slender figure, and now he is a grown man.

A gentle smile appeared on Nan Surou's face, "Yes."

Nan Surou's eyes turned slightly, and her eyes fell on the little girl standing beside Nan Qiansong, the corners of her lips raised slightly.

Nan Surou looked at Nan Jiezhen again, with a strange light in her eyes, "Cousin."

Nan Jiezhen stood there stupidly, as if she was nailed there by something, her face was as pale as paper, she looked at Nan Surou in horror, she took a deep breath, and then seemed to be out of breath, "You..."

Nan Jiezhen's eyes seemed to refuse to see Nan Surou, her hands trembled, as if trying to restrain herself.

Xiahou Lingche raised his brows slightly, and curled his lips into a half-smile.

Nan Surou always felt strange seeing Nan Jie's true appearance, but looking at Xiahou Lingche's expression, she seemed to know something.

There were tiny beads of sweat on Nan Jiezhen's forehead. She suddenly noticed other people's gazes and immediately gathered herself together, "Just tell the shopkeeper what you want to eat. He knows the prime minister. I'm going to be busy, I'm so negligent, please forgive me."

Nan Jiezhen's polite words were far-fetched, and her words were unnatural, and her tone was dry. After dropping such a sentence, she turned around and left immediately without waiting for others to respond.

Nan Qiansong looked at his mother's back worriedly and opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything.

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

Nan Qiansong frowned, turned around to look at Xiahou Lingche, and called out a little embarrassedly: "Little uncle..."

Nan Surou frowned, although Nan Qiansong called this title countless times in her previous life, and Nan Qiansong changed the title to "brother-in-law" in the end.

Xiahou Lingche glanced at Nan Qiansong lightly, "It looks like your mother doesn't welcome us, let's go somewhere else."

Nan Qiansong originally admired Nan Surou, and his fear of Nan Surou had surpassed that of Xiahou Lingche, whom he didn't know himself well. My mother has been in a daze recently because of business, I am really sorry just now, please forgive me, let me order for you this time."

He specially emphasized the title of "uncle".

Xiahou Lingche turned around strangely, "You are not much different in age from me, calling me like that really makes me feel like an old man."

"That can't be helped, who makes my aunt higher in seniority." Nan Qiansong laughed softly.

"Since you made an apology, I don't bother to move." Xiahou Lingche turned his head casually and said, "Don't you think so? My lady..."

"I'm free." Nan Surou said indifferently.

Seeing that the two were relieved, Nan Qiansong showed a relieved expression on his face, and he made a gesture of invitation, "Come to the private room above, I will order food for you."

Nan Qiansong led the two of them to an elegant room that Nan Surou didn't seem to be high-end.

Nan Surou and Xiahou Lingche sat down, and Nan Qiansong started chattering.

Nan Qiansong is a smart person, he didn't keep asking Xiahou Lingche, but talked to Nan Surou. He remembered Nan Surou's food preferences, recommended soft food, and placed an order after a while.

But after the dishes came, they were all unwilling to eat.

Nan Surou knew that Nan Jiezhen had a problem, but Nan Jiezhen's reaction was too big, which made her puzzled.

Especially when Nan Jiezhen looked at Nan Surou's expression, she was clearly looking at a dead person...

"Auntie..." Nan Qiansong suddenly said.

The sudden words startled Nan Surou a lot. Nan Surou turned her head and found Nan Qiansong standing beside her.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Nan Surou gave Nan Qiansong a sideways look.

"My mother, she..." Nan Qiansong hesitated, "Please forgive her for her mistakes."

"I never cared about it at all." Nan Surou lowered her head, she had no time to pay attention to Nan Jiezhen at all.

Nan Qiansong took a sneak look at Xiahou Lingche, and then said to Nan Surou in a questioning tone: "Auntie, can you go with me to mother's place for a while?"

Hearing these words, Nan Surou narrowed her eyes slightly, "What's the matter?"

Nan Qiansong glanced at Xiahou Lingche again.

Xiahou Lingche put down his chopsticks, stared at Nan Qiansong for a while, and said calmly, "Let's go back home."

Nan Surou didn't understand Xiahou Lingche's meaning, before he had a chance to raise objections, he was pulled up from the chair by him, and dragged out of the private room just like that.

"Go away! Get lost!"

The door of the private room was opened, and Nan Jiezhen's hoarse scream came.

The shopkeeper and the servants stood at the door of the room at the end, looking at a loss.

Nan Surou turned around to look at Nan Qiansong suspiciously, and Nan Qiansong returned her a helpless expression. "Auntie, maybe you have a way to enlighten mother. She is in a bad mood now, and we have nothing to do."

Before Nan Surou responded, Xiahou Lingche said, "She has a ghost in her heart, no one can persuade her."

Nan Qiansong seemed to have something to say, so he followed them all the time.

Xiahou Lingche didn't deliberately drive them away, and let Nan Qiansong follow them to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

And at the same time.

Jinhui Garden, second floor.

Ever since she lost her title of nobility, Nan Jiezhen also sold the huge Duke Wei's mansion, hid a small sum of money, and then looked to others as if she started from scratch again on the surface.

Therefore, Nan Jiezhen's family lived in Jinhuiyuan.

The room at the end of the second floor is Nan Jiezhen's room, just like the original Kangcheng Garden.

Ever since Nan Jiezhen saw Nan Surou, she locked herself in the room without seeing anyone.
