Chapter 315 Shadow 7 (End)
Jing Wu blinked his eyes and said, "It seems you still need to practice more. I don't want to marry a weak man."
Zhou Shenglin nodded, "Xiao Wu, who won this competition?"
Jing Wu's face turned even redder, and Nan Xi saw a shy expression on her face.
"Xiao Qi, who do you think won?"
Nan Xi wanted to poke out her own eyes. Jing Wu was so cruel that he actually destroyed the flowers of the motherland. Her eyes were almost blinded.
However, for the sake of her fifth sister's happiness, Nan Xi still forced herself to say something against her will.
"Of course Brother Zhou won."
Jing Wu showed a look of praise, but when facing Zhou Shenglin, he drooped his eyelids shyly.
"In that case, Zhou Shenglin, you should go ask my brother for marriage."
After saying this, Jing Wu finally ran into the house in shame.
Nan Xi and Zhou Shenglin were left looking at each other, and Zhou Shenglin said to Nan Xi in a foolish manner.
"Xiao Qi, my brother is getting married, are you happy?"
Nan Xi rolled her eyes and said, "I have five brothers."
Zhou Shenglin's face froze. He has four older brothers-in-law and one younger brother-in-law.
Zhou Shenglin rolled his eyes and decided to try to please his sister-in-law first.
"What do you want, Xiaoqi? Tell me and I'll get it for you."
Nan Xi immediately found Zhou Shenglin pleasing to her eyes, and he seemed to be a good person.
"Xiao Qi, do you like sweet-scented osmanthus cake or candied haws? The red bean cake from Su Fang Zhai seems pretty good too. I'll buy it for you tomorrow, okay?"
Nan Xi: ...
I didn’t expect you to be so stingy, Zhou Shenglin. No wonder you don’t have a wife.
"Humph!"
Nan Xi turned and left, and Zhou Shenglin went home happily. Of course, what he said was to tease Xiao Qi, because Xiao Qi was so young but he wanted to act mature, haha.
He had to go back and prepare and invite a matchmaker to come.
The next day, dim sum from Sufangzhai arrived at the Jing family's door, along with all kinds of silks and satins, not only ready-made clothes, but also matching shoes, socks and accessories.
Jade pendants, gold hairpins, silver hairpins and jade hairpins are in boxes.
Rouge, eyebrow pencil, vanishing cream, sachets, fan pendants, and the four treasures of the study.
Zhou Shenglin also sent a guqin, because Jing Wu mentioned that he wanted to learn to play the guqin, so he went to get it.
There was a box for dolls and wooden toys, as well as some books, such as poems, story collections, and needlework books.
The things these little girls like are all very exquisite, which shows that Zhou Shenglin put a lot of thought into them.
Since Zhou Shenglin was so considerate, Nan Xi had to express her gratitude and gave him a talisman.
When Zhou Shenglin knew that everyone in the family had it, he happily put it into a personal purse.
Jing Wu's marriage was easily arranged. Originally, people thought that the Marquis's Mansion would not agree. However, when they heard that the girl had two brothers who were generals and one brother who was the top scholar in the imperial examination, they immediately agreed.
A month later, Zhou Shenglin brought Mrs. Zhao to visit Nan Xi.
Zhou Shengyang and Liu Ruyan have revealed Nan Xi's identity to Madam Zhao. They originally wanted to destroy the relationship between Madam Zhao and Zhou Shenglin, but who knew that Madam Zhao had already known about Nan Xi's existence from Zhou Shenglin.
It was only because of Nan Xi's wishes that she did not choose to recognize her relatives.
Mrs. Zhao was very gentle. She held Nan Xi's hand and spoke softly.
"Xiao Qi, you are my daughter. If you don't want to acknowledge me, then don't acknowledge me. Whether you admit it or not, this is a fact that cannot be changed."
"For so many years, I always thought you were gone. Now that I know you are safe, I feel relieved. Nothing is more important than your safety."
Nan Xi was a little moved. This mother seemed to be a nice person.
"Xiao Qi, please don't blame your aunt, okay? It's not that your aunt didn't look for you back then. It's that after you were stolen, your swaddling clothes were found in the mountains. So your aunt thought you were eaten by wild beasts and gave up hope."
Nan Xi only found out what happened that year after listening to Mrs. Zhao's story.
That is, the maid climbed onto the bed and was punished by her master, and then she held a grudge and stole the young master's things to vent her anger.
"Your father tortured that slave girl severely at that time. But when he went to look for her after she told him the location, he was still a step too late. He only found a body that was unrecognizable beyond recognition, and that body was wrapped in your swaddling clothes."
Mrs. Zhao covered her face and cried bitterly. It was all a mistake. She had been suffering for more than ten years. Who knew it was all her fault?
Zhou Shenglin supported Madam Zhao and comforted her, "Aunt, fortunately, Xiaoqi is safe and sound."
Madam Zhao nodded. "I think it's because of all the incense and prayers I've been praying for so many years that I can finally see you again. This way, all these ten years are worth it."
Nan Xi looked at Madam Zhao and felt that she was also a pitiful person.
In the end, Nan Xi agreed to recognize her relatives, but she still lived in the Jing Mansion, was not included in the clan genealogy, and did not change her name.
Mrs. Zhao agreed to all of this.
On the day of recognition, Nan Xi met the biological father of this body, who was a high-ranking official. No wonder Zhou Shengyang took him so seriously.
Nan Xi's life has not changed much, but her heart has gained a sense of belonging and warmth.
The relationship between the Zhao family and the Jing family also became more harmonious and intimate because of this recognition.
Even Zhou Shenglin benefited from it, and his relationship with the Zhao family became closer.
Jing Wu got married, and Liu Ruyan also got married. They both married into the Chongyang Marquis Mansion on the same day.
No one knew how Zhou Shenglin did it. Perhaps Lord Zhao said something to the Marquis, or perhaps it was the pressure from the three generals of the Jing family. After Jing Wu returned home, the Marquis's Mansion was split up.
Of course, Zhou Shengyang and Liu Ruyan were separated, and Zhou Shengyang no longer had the qualifications to inherit the Marquis' Mansion.
Nan Xi guessed that Liu Ruyan had gone to great lengths to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, but once the family was divided, Zhou Shengyang was just a commoner. She would definitely be so angry that she would vomit blood, right?
Liu Ruyan did vomit blood, but it was not because of anger, but because of being beaten by Zhou Shengyang.
"Didn't you say you could help me get the Marquis' Mansion? You are such a jinx. You caused me to be separated as soon as you married me. You are such a jinx."
Liu Ruyan covered her face, she didn’t know what went wrong. She was the heroine, she shouldn’t have ended up like this.
Zhou Shengyang took a whip and kept whipping Liu Ruyan. He felt that he had lost a lot by marrying this woman.
Liu Ruyan was beaten to death by him and vomited blood continuously.
Zhou Shengyang was tired from fighting and fell to the ground gasping for breath. Seeing Liu Ruyan's confused look, he became even more angry. He reached out and grabbed Liu Ruyan's neck.
"Bitch, it's all your fault. It's all your fault."
Liu Ruyan gradually came back to her senses after having difficulty breathing, and her eyes gradually became cold. She couldn't die, if they had to die, they would die together.
Liu Ruyan reached out her hand tremblingly and took off a bracelet from her wrist. While Zhou Shengyang was not paying attention, she opened the mechanism, revealing a small needle that was glowing with a cold light. She forcefully inserted the needle into Zhou Shengyang's neck.
"what……"
Zhou Shengyang covered his neck with his hands, his eyes full of horror. This bitch actually dared to hurt him.
The needle was highly poisonous. After a while, Zhou Shengyang's face turned purple and he died of the poison.
Liu Ruyan lay on the ground, feeling hopeless. Things had already come to this, and she didn't even want to live.
She clenched the bracelet tightly, and the remaining poison was enough to poison her.
In a trance, she returned to the age of thirteen. That year, she had just traveled through time and space. In this strange world, she wanted to make a name for herself with her medical skills and poison scriptures.
She saved seven children. All of them had extraordinary talents and were martial arts geniuses. They recognized her as their master.
Shadow Five and Shadow Seven closely protect his safety, eliminate dissidents for him, and teach a lesson to those who make him angry.
Shadow One to Shadow Four and Shadow Six were all his bodyguards, running errands for him, helping him open shops, and providing cover for him when he went out to practice medicine.
Those were such happy days!
Later, Shadow One and Shadow Four died, Shadow Two and Shadow Three were assassinated, Shadow Five and Shadow Six also died, leaving Xiao Qi alone by his side.
Zhou Shengyang was not like this now. He was very affectionate to her and even sent her many secret guards to replace Ying Yi and others to protect her.
Later, she finally became a marquis's wife and was envied by everyone in the capital.
……
Liu Ruyan died. She was smiling until her death, as if she had a very beautiful dream.
?
The sons of the Jing family never had trouble finding marriage. Within three years, except for Nan Xi, all of them had their marriages arranged.
Another year passed, and Jing Yi and others got married one after another, leaving Nan Xi alone in the Jing Mansion, but she lived a very comfortable life.
Her brothers and sisters were worried about her, so they sent her many servants and boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
Her biological parents also cared about her very much. Knowing that she did not want to get married, they never forced her. Instead, they used their connections to protect her and let her live a free life.
Nan Xi's medical skills are also her umbrella of protection. After all, no one wants to offend a person with great medical skills. Who knows, he might come to her for help at any time?
Nan Xi lived the most comfortable life.
