Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Green Hat +1?_1

Unlike his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law, Shen Wenchen sighed inwardly.

Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui, the two sisters-in-law, were bewildered by Shen Zhong’s hand resting on Ms. Li’s face.

"Sister, do you think Shen Zhong has lost his mind? Ms. Li cuckolded him, and he still can’t bear to hit her?"

Chen Qiulan tugged at Sun Cui’s sleeve and whispered in her ear

He didn’t show any mercy when he attacked the young man just now, but I wonder how he is going to deal with Ms. Li.

"Who knows," Sun Cui shook her head, she was also very curious.

It’s hard to say it’s because Shen Zhong cherishes their marital relationship enough not to look into Ms. Li’s affair, isn’t it?

Looking at the commotion in the Shen family, Nanzhi is also somewhat curious about Shen Zhong’s next moves.

She was never close to Ms. Li, they only had a nodding acquaintance before the Great Famine, she only became indirectly familiar with Ms. Li because Aunt Guihua helped her and she became friends with Miaomiao.

Ms. Li didn’t talk much when they were on the road together and was not close to her, even though their relationship wasn’t good, it wasn’t bad either.

It was only when she and Miaomiao met up with them a few days ago, she began to notice that something was off.

Ms. Li always intentionally or unintentionally gathered towards her home and she would always overhear her making sarcastic comments about Miaomiao.

The most common one being Miaomiao was close to her, but never shared her food with Ms. Li.

These matters weren’t a big deal nor were they insignificant, she chose to ignore them when she heard them.

It was only after she came to ask for a wild chicken, she started to truly despise Ms. Li.

Looking at her miserable state now, Nanzhi didn’t find her pitiful at all.

Since she sowed this cause, whatever result she reaps is her own choice.

With this thought in mind, Nanzhi lost interest in the matter, she turned her head to look at Shen Wenchen.

Feeling Nanzhi’s gaze, Shen Wenchen’s heart inexplicably beat faster.

"Would you ever bring home a concubine one day?"

With a playful smile, Nanzhi looked up at Shen Wenchen, causing him to feel a tingling sensation in his scalp.

"N-no, of course not." Afraid of slipping up, Shen Wenchen answered hastily.

"Really?" Nanzhi looked unconvinced. She thought to herself that if he ever encountered Su Tao, he might write another divorce letter to her.

Thinking about how he didn’t forget to burn a divorce notice to notify her even after she had died, a surge of rage welled up in Nanzhi’s heart.

Since the Lin Nanzhi of this world was herself, didn’t she just get cuckolded by Shen Wenchen?

With that thought, Nanzhi withdrew her hand from his grasp, snorted coldly, and returned to the mule cart.

Being a single mother for eighteen years and then directly becoming a mother after traversing into a book is one thing, but she’s also being cuckolded!

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and in the end, Nanzhi started crying in the cart.

By the time Shen Wenchen came to, Nanzhi had already retreated to the cart, leaving him standing there alone.

Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng turned their heads to look at him, while Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui had shocked expressions on their faces.

Only father Lin yawned and decided to go back to the cart for a nap.

He didn’t understand the commotion and decided that sleeping was a better option.

With a bit of a numbing sensation in his leg, father Lin patted his eldest son and went back to the mule cart first.

"What happened to Nanzhi?" Lin Ercheng scratched his head, looking somewhat confused.

"I don’t know, did her husband mistreat her?" Sun Cui also shook her head.

"That shouldn’t be the case, I see him sticking to Nanzhi all day long, how could he bear to mistreat her?"

Chen Qiulan spoke somewhat enviously, her gaze falling upon Lin Yicheng, who was seated by the fire.

Lin Yicheng was busy with some sweet potatoes in the fire. Seeing his wife gazing at him, he gave her a big grin.

Shen Wenchen, having regained his composure, climbed onto the mule cart, looking at the crying Nanzhi in bewilderment.

"Nannan, what’s... what’s wrong with you?"

Nanzhi, feigning hurt, shed tears. Hearing his question, she only turned her body and sobbed even worse.

"Nannan? Did I say something wrong?" The harder she cried, the more alarmed Shen Wenchen became, puzzled about why she would suddenly burst into tears.

"You cuckolded me!"

Still sprawled out, Nanzhi uttered in a low, muffled voice.

"When did I?" Upon hearing her words, Shen Wenchen was taken aback.

When did he ever cuckold her?

Contemplating for a short while, he quickly understood what had happened.

Even though he was reborn in this life, he indeed failed Nannan in his previous life.

Thinking back on when he wrote a divorce letter to Nanzhi and then burnt it, he wished he could slap himself.

"Nannan, it’s all my fault. I swear not to make the same mistake in this life."

As he spoke, Nanzhi’s sobs subsided a little. Still, she mumbled: "Wait until you meet Su Tao, you’ll definitely fall for her again."

Shen Wenchen paused for a moment, remembering she must have read the novel and known the name of the "female lead," Su Tao. He gently cooed, "Never. I, Shen Wenchen, swear to God, there’s only Lin Nanzhi in my heart. If I do anything that hurts you, may five thunders strike me dead."

It was in his past life he forgot about Nannan and inexplicably "admired" Su Tao, but this life would be different.

Thinking about Su Tao’s "space" and system in the book, Shen Wenchen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

His inexplicable fondness for her, could it have been because of something called a "female lead halo"?

Hearing his vow, Nanzhi pouted. She didn’t believe in such things.

They’d have to wait and see when the time came.

Every time she thought about what she had seen in her dreams after becoming Apiao, Nanzhi felt a lump in her throat. So, she sat upright, wiped away her tears and stopped weeping.

"This time, did you come here on leave?"

After some hesitation, Shen Wenchen shook his head and finally said, "Not really. Some things have come up in Yan City. General Song needed someone in Yan City, so I answered his call."

"Fine." Nanzhi pursed her lips and continued, "When you arrive in Yan City, if you run into Su Tao, you are not allowed to speak to her."

"Alright."

Knowing she was feeling jilted, Shen Wenchen nodded agreeably with a smile.

North City was in chaos at present. Song Lian initially intended to send Wenchen and others to have their corrupt officials eliminated, taking it to be a gratifying task.

Yet he insisted on taking on the assignment in Yan City, passing this golden opportunity of gaining merit to his younger brother.

After having a small disagreement, Nanzhi became sweetly obedient. Only after remembering the matters of the Shen Family did she hastily lift the curtain of the cart to take a look outside.

Outside, it was pitch dark, and only by the firelight could she faintly see Shen Zhong holding Ms. Li’s hair with one hand and a long knife with the other.

Thinking that Shen Zhong might kill Ms. Li out of anger, Nanzhi felt a shiver down her spine.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing her shiver, Shen Wenchen became concerned. He feared she might catch a cold in this weather.

"Shen Zhong, it looks like Shen Zhong is about to kill someone." Nanzhi shrank back, although she had seen a lot during this period, she had not witnessed a murder. She didn’t really want to see it either.

"You saw it wrong. He is cutting her hair." Shen Wenchen took a peek outside the cart and then rubbed Nanzhi’s head with a smile.
