The Poisonous Empress of a Noble Family: After Rebirth, I Took Revenge on My Entire Family

Chapter 254: You will eventually enter my fifth prince’s mansion
Before Nan Xian moved, Leng Yue and the shopkeeper in her tent turned around and bowed down to Shi Shenting who came in through the curtain, "Your Highness."

Shi Shenting glanced at the two people standing in the tent and nodded.

He sat next to Nan Xian. Seeing Leng Yue and the shopkeeper retreat, Shi Shenting joked:

"This is the first time I've seen someone like you treat me with respect."

Nan Xian lowered his head and smiled, "How are they disrespectful to you when you come in and out of my Qingping Pavilion?"

"There's disrespect everywhere."

Shi Shenting had a smile in his eyes, and he leaned comfortably on a soft pillow next to Nan Xian. His body was usually very resolute, and his back was always straight.

At this moment, he showed a trace of laziness.

Nan Xian spoke for his people, "I don't see that they are disrespectful towards you. That's because the Fifth Highness is overthinking it himself."

Shi Shenting snorted and didn't care too much about Nan Xian. If she said no, she wouldn't.
He didn't know where Nan Xian found a group of servants. Not only were their temperaments weird and arrogant, but the disdain they showed in the corners of their eyes and brows was something even Shi Shenting didn't take seriously.

Shi Shenting only said, "The rumors that have been spreading wildly in the imperial capital recently say that the person that seventh brother really likes is you. What do you think of this matter?"

Nan Xian shook his head, "No, the person His Highness the Seventh Prince really likes is Nan Xueer. Otherwise, you can see that Nan Xueer's reputation has been ruined like this, but His Highness the Seventh Highness is still determined to do it."

"Now Nan Xue'er is favored in His Majesty's House. It is said that not long ago, a little girl died in Nan Xue'er's yard due to some trivial matters, and His Majesty Seventh Prince has never investigated her."

Shi Shenting sat crookedly on the soft couch and looked at Nan Xian. He suddenly said with some unclear meaning:
"You know a lot about the affairs of the seventh brother's house. Why, are you so interested in the seventh brother?"

Nan Xian opened his mouth to explain, but then chewed on Shi Shenting's words and felt that they didn't quite click.

She thought about what she should say to suit Shi Shenting's wishes.Seeing Shi Shenting sitting up straight again, "What I really want to know is, since you know the seventh brother so well, how much do you know about me?"

When Nan Xian heard this, she immediately stood up nervously. She knelt in front of Shi Shenting,
"Your Highness, even if I have eight hundred courages, I would not dare to send a spy to His Highness's house. Your Highness, you can rest assured that I will never know about things that I shouldn't know, let alone spread."

The reason why she knows Shi Heng's backyard so well is because Nan Xian was a member of Shi Heng's backyard in her previous life.

Nan Xian was also very familiar with the concubines in Shi Heng's courtyard. After all, they had known each other for several years.

It was not until Nan Xueer entered the East Palace as a concubine that the concubines were killed one by one by Nan Xueer.

Based on this understanding, it is too easy for Nan Xian to place his own people in Shi Heng's backyard.

She could instigate a few concubines and maids to rebel at will, and they would tell Nan Xian all the big and small things that happened around Nan Xue'er in detail.

However, Nan Xian's frank attitude not only did not reassure Shi Shenting, but instead made Shi Shenting frown tightly.

He looked at Nan Xian kneeling in front of him, Shi Shenting's fingers curled up and unclenched, and his voice was cold as he said,
"Xian'er, you are the girl that my mother-in-law likes, and you will eventually join my fifth prince's house."

He hoped that Nan Xian would understand this, so he wouldn't have to treat him as a stranger, or even treat him as cautiously as a master who could be followed.

Shi Shenting's mother-in-law was behind her. Shi Shenting really couldn't figure out what Nanxian was so afraid of and nervous about.
Look at those women who are arrogant and domineering in their husband's family because they are loved by their mother-in-law.

Let's not talk about it, just look at Shi Shenting's mother-in-law, Concubine Hua Guifei. Concubine Hua Guifei sometimes behaved a little bit towards Emperor Chongming, but she didn't treat Emperor Chongming as an emperor at all.

Shi Shenting thought that Nan Xian could be more self-willed.
