The prince wanted to divorce his wife during pregnancy, and the reborn princess burst into laughter

Chapter 166 Asking Su Nanxue

Aunt Miao opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Everyone in the mansion knew that Shangguan Fei doted on his concubine. Half of the 365 days a year was spent drinking and having fun outside, and the other half was spent with her and the other half with the other concubines.

It can be said that the mistress of the house has never set foot here.

But how can this be blamed on her?

As the mistress of their family, Su Nanxue has the responsibility to know where her master has gone.

She was completely unaware of this, and it was also her fault.

After thinking about it, she felt more confident. She straightened her back and said, "I don't know where the master is, but the lady shouldn't be unaware of the master's whereabouts. The master has been missing for a few days. Let's go and tell the old lady and the old master."

Su Nanxue did not take Aunt Miao's sarcasm to heart. She glanced at Aunt Miao. Since the matter had been brought to her attention, it was impossible for her to pretend that she didn't know about it. It was also impossible for her not to report it when she knew that Shangguan Fei would not be back for several days.

Old Madam Shangguan and Old Master Shangguan are not easy to fool.

The Shangguan family has never declined or fallen in the capital, and every generation of the Shangguan family head is a powerful figure.

Even the emperor would show courtesy to talented people, so what qualifications did a little concubine like her have to compete with him?

So the two of them hurried to find Old Master Shangguan and the Old Lady, and told them that Shangguan Fei had not returned for several days.

Old Master Shangguan glared at Old Madam Shangguan: "This is your good son, but he hasn't been seen for a few days and you don't care about him."

Madam Shangguan rolled her eyes at him and said, "He's a long-legged man, how can I keep an eye on him? It's more important to find my son now, not to quarrel in front of the younger generation.

Also, if the son is not well educated, it is the father’s fault. It has nothing to do with me.”

Then, without waiting for Old Master Shangguan to speak, she pointed at Su Nanxue and said with a sullen face, "As the mistress of the fifth room, you didn't even bother to look for Old Master Wu when he didn't come back for a few nights.

If anything happens to Lao Wu, I will never forgive you."

Old Madam Shangguan was not happy with this fifth daughter-in-law at all. If it were not for the promise made by Aunt Qin that Su Nanxue would become a legitimate daughter and would have a generous dowry, the legitimate son of the Shangguan family would never have married a concubine's daughter.

Although Shangguan Fei is the legitimate son, the eldest son is still the one who inherits the family business. He is the future head of the Shangguan family, and 99% of the property is inherited.

The remaining ten percent is inherited by the second son and the illegitimate sons.

Therefore, although Shangguan Fei was the legitimate son, he could not get much of the family property, which is why the Shangguan family agreed to this marriage for Shangguan Fei.

Sure enough, Shangguan Fei's life became much better after getting married.

Now that Su Nanyi is the queen, Shangguan Fei, her half-brother-in-law, must have benefited from it.

The Shangguan Mansion also benefited from this, and its income has increased significantly in recent days.

Facing Madam Shangguan's stern gaze, Su Nanxue immediately kowtowed to her and said aggrievedly, "Madam, you know how long it has been since my husband entered my courtyard. He never told me where he went, and it was difficult for me to see him."

It is common knowledge in the Shangguan Mansion that seeing one's husband is as difficult as seeing the emperor.

Old Madam Shangguan said disdainfully: "It's all because you have no ability and can't even hold your man's heart."

Su Nanxue lowered her head and stopped talking. Everyone knew that she was of humble status and was not worthy of Shangguan Fei's attention at all.

How could she hold Shangguan Fei's heart?

She knew that Old Lady Shangguan was only blaming her verbally, and that she couldn't really be blamed. Old Lady Shangguan saw that Su Nanxue was silent again, lowering her head, looking like a young wife.

Old Madam Shangguan hated this kind of cowardly look the most, as if someone had bullied her.

She glanced at Aunt Miao who was kneeling upright beside her. No wonder the fifth brother didn't like Su Nanxue. Look, a concubine could be neither humble nor arrogant, but Su Nanxue, the legal wife, looked petty and not presentable.

If I had known this would happen, I should not have agreed to this marriage.

Madam Shangguan said unhappily, "Hurry up and go down. I will send someone to look for it. You can look for it yourself."

"Yes, old lady."

Su Nanxue and Aunt Miao immediately took their leave politely, and then returned to their own courtyards with their own thoughts.

After Su Nanxue returned to the yard, she found that her back was covered with sweat and her underwear was wet. She slumped in the chair and called the wet nurse in.

"Miss, what did the old lady say?"

Su Nanxue shook her head: "Nothing was said. How was the matter handled? Did anything go wrong?"

She still felt uneasy and was always worried until things were settled.

She hadn't slept well these days. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw Shangguan Fei's murderous eyes, which scared her awake in an instant.

The nurse gently held Su Nanxue in her arms and said softly, "Don't be afraid, young lady. You must stay calm. That was done very secretly and no one will know."

His nephew was a ruthless man. He dragged Shangguan Fei to an uninhabited mountain, burned him to ashes, and then dug a hole to bury him.

After the body is burned and all traces are destroyed, who can find it?

Su Nanxue sniffed and nodded: "Then I'm relieved, Nanny, I want to sleep for a while, can you stay by my side?"

The wet nurse was so doting, then helped her onto the bed, waited for her to lie down, and then sat beside her, patting her gently like she did when she was a child, watching her fall asleep peacefully.

But Su Nanxue slept uneasily in her sleep, with her brows tightly furrowed.

The wet nurse felt distressed, but as a servant, she was powerless to help and could not do anything. She could only take care of Su Ranxue in her own way.

The case of Shangguan Fei never came to a conclusion. The Shangguan government sent a large amount of manpower and material resources and searched the entire capital, but they still couldn't find him.

Only then did the Shangguan family realize that something was wrong and that Shangguan Fei might have been in trouble.

Old Madam Shangguan called Su Nanxue to question her again, asking about what happened after she and Shangguan Fei returned from the Su Mansion that day.

Finally someone asked the question. Su Nanxue was so scared that she wiped the sweat from her forehead, gritted her teeth, and tried her best not to reveal any flaws.

And she pretended to recall and said: "Madam, that day my daughter-in-law and husband came back without even having lunch. After they came back, my daughter-in-law and husband went back to my daughter-in-law's room, and my husband asked my daughter-in-law how she had offended my father?

The daughter-in-law told her husband that her father was angry with her because of her aunt's affairs.

Obviously the husband did not believe his daughter-in-law's explanation, and then he left angrily. He said he was going out to eat, and then he never came to his daughter-in-law's yard again, and the daughter-in-law never saw the husband again.

Just like before.”

She also emphasized one sentence in particular.
