Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 1079 Shen Nanqiao Returns to Beijing (99 Reward Value Plus)

The other party still has the same identity.

"Yun Tao."

Lin Wan's voice suddenly turned cold, and she warned, "Keep what happened today to yourself. Don't mention it to anyone, including the person you trust the most!"

"Otherwise...you know the consequences!"

Yun Tao was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she knelt down: "I understand! I swear, I will never tell you even if I die!"

"Get up."

Lin Wan took a deep breath and said, "The whereabouts of the 'returning' Doctor Liu and his family is of utmost importance! Find a reliable person, spend a lot of money, and investigate quietly."

"Alive or dead, I must find his burial place!"

"I have to find out why he disappeared."

Yun Tao felt unprecedented pressure: "Yes..."

"besides……"

Lin Wan's eyes were as sharp as a knife: "The maidservant named Luluo beside Shen Nanqiao is the most likely person to know the inside story. Find a way to bribe her at all costs! Or... get some evidence against her!"

"I want to know what happened during Shen Nanqiao's "resting" in the Summer Resort."

Yun Tao nodded and said, "I understand."

Lin Wan stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the bleak autumn scenery in the courtyard, a wave of sadness surged in her heart.

When they got married, her husband said that he would never let her down in this life.

But the appearance of Shen Nanqiao completely shattered the last bit of fantasy in her heart...

Tomorrow is Concubine Chen’s birthday. With Lin Wan’s status, she naturally has to go to the palace to attend the banquet.

At that time, she could also observe Concubine Chen to see if she knew that her good sister had done such a shameful thing!

……

The carriage that Shen Nanqiao was riding in slowly drove into the capital.

Clearly, she had only lived in the summer resort outside Beijing for about three months, but when she came back again, she felt as if she were in a different world.

When she left the capital, she had already let go of all the grudges with Shen Zhinian and just wanted to live a leisurely and comfortable life.

But now he came back with a heart full of hatred.

Since Shen Zhinian is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust!

Shen Nanqiao's eyes flashed with dark anger, and he ordered: "Go to the Shen Mansion."

The driver was from the Lu family, and he was a little surprised to hear this.

The young lady has been living in the summer resort for such a long time, why doesn't she go home after returning, but instead goes back to her parents' home?

Although there is no one else in the Lu Mansion now and the lady does not need to go back to take care of her mother-in-law, this is not against the rules.

But he was just a coachman, so he naturally wouldn't interrupt at this time, and just responded with a "yes".

Luoluo would not even comment on Shen Nanqiao's decision.

It was almost dusk when the carriage drove into the side door of the Shen Mansion.

Shen Nanqiao wrapped his cloak tightly around himself. His bright face looked pale and haggard in the twilight, but a dark fire burned deep in his eyes.

"lady……"

Shen Nanqiao refused Luoluo's help and stepped into this familiar yet unfamiliar home step by step.

The servants they met along the way all stopped and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Miss!"

Shen Nanqiao asked: "Where is my father?"

A servant said, "My dear Miss, the master is in the study right now."

Shen Nanqiao went straight to Shen Maoxue's study.

Her main identity now is Madam Lu. With Lu Jianglin's official position, she is absolutely not qualified to enter the palace and attend Concubine Chen's birthday banquet.

So... her father is the key to whether she can enter the palace tomorrow.

"Master, the eldest lady is here."

In the study, Shen Maoxue was frowning at a gift list on the table. When he heard the message, he looked up and saw Shen Nanqiao coming in, with a complicated look in his eyes.

This daughter was once his most beloved jewel in the palm, and marrying into the Lu family was considered a good match.

But in the past two years, first he heard that her relationship with Lu Jianglin was quite cold, and then she went to live alone in the Summer Resort. Even his father rarely visited her and only sent servants to report that she was safe.

This made Shen Maoxue, as a father, feel somewhat uncomfortable.

What made him even more worried was that the Imperial Concubine Chen in the palace seemed to be quite distant from his sister.

"Father."

Shen Nanqiao walked to the desk and bowed, her voice soft and deliberately low, with a barely noticeable hoarseness.

If he continued to live in the Mountain Resort after the summer vacation period, it would definitely arouse suspicion. Therefore, Shen Nanqiao announced to the public that he was not feeling well and was recuperating in the quiet place of the Mountain Resort.

Shen Maoxue looked at her obviously thinner face and the faint blue color under her eyes, and his dissatisfaction subsided a little: "Get up."

"After resting in the summer resort for so long, are you feeling better?"

He didn't know that Shen Nanqiao had a miscarriage, he just thought she was depressed or had just recovered from a minor illness.

Shen Nanqiao stood up, his eyes slightly red, but he didn't cry. He just showed a deep fatigue and unspeakable grievance: "Thank you for your concern, father."

"My daughter... My daughter has been meditating in the Mountain Resort for the past few months. She is fine now. But... I just feel depressed."

Shen Maoxue frowned: "Depressed?"

"My dear son-in-law has taken my mother-in-law to take up the post. Now you are the only master in the entire Lu family. Is there anyone who can let you suffer any injustice?"

"Why are you so depressed? Or..."

Shen Maoxue paused and didn't say anything clearly, but Shen Nanqiao knew what he meant.

This is exactly the topic Shen Nanqiao wanted to talk about!

She lowered her head slightly, revealing a fragile neck, and said in a choked and self-deprecating voice: "Father, your guess is right. Your daughter is thinking of Concubine Chen."

"The status of Concubine Chen is noble, and I dare not complain. But... I just can't understand why we are sisters who are connected by blood, and have ended up like this today?"

"My sister is now the noble concubine of the Emperor, the apple of His Majesty's eye. I am so happy for her. But why... why does she treat me worse than a stranger?"

"Even when I was sick, she never sent anyone to ask about me..."

Shen Nanqiao cleverly switched the concept and said recuperation was illness. Anyone who heard it would think that Shen Zhinian was heartless.

Shen Maoxue frowned.

The family is one, and if one prospers, all prosper, and if one suffers, all suffer. Shen Nanqiao's bad relationship with Concubine Chen is not good for the entire Shen family!

Shen Maoxue's face darkened, and with the majesty of a father and the head of the family, he rebuked: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Your Highness, Concubine Chen is in charge of the six palaces and has a lot of things to do every day. How can she take care of everything? As a sister, you should understand!"

Shen Nanqiao listened and sneered in his heart.

My father didn't have this attitude towards Shen Zhinian before.

In his eyes, Shen Zhinian was no different from a weed on the roadside. He would not hurt her, but he would not even look at her.

Now it is protected.

Oh! She is such a good father, and his own interests are his top priority!
