Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned. He was so focused on Yan Luo that he had never considered Shen Wantang's situation.

Now that he had calmed down, he realized that he had inadvertently pushed another innocent woman to the edge of the cliff.

The princess knows her son best. Although he looks cold and icy at ordinary times, he is actually a kind-hearted person. Otherwise, she would not feel so sorry for the pregnant Chu Yanluo.

She continued, "This morning, Wan Tang came alone to serve tea. I asked Nanny Quan to prepare boiling hot tea. She burned her hand when she picked up the teacup, but she still knelt steadily. Didn't she feel the pain? Didn't she feel wronged? But she endured it all because she is sensible, knows the big picture, and knows when to advance and retreat."

"What else does the Chu Yanluo you like have besides a face? He pretends to be noble and scheming, and even though he knows that he will make you unjust, he still holds on to you tightly. Yuan'er, can you swear to heaven that you became a monk without Chu Yanluo's hint or instigation?"

If she had not personally found the abbot of Fazhen Temple, she would never have allowed her son to become a monk. By now, her son's hair would have been shaved off and he would have really become a monk.

Xiao Qingyuan turned his face away: "Yan Luo asked me to become a monk, she was just angry and said that, she didn't mean that. As for Shen Wantang, I can compensate her, but I can't be her husband and wife."

"So how are you going to make it up to her?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about this later. I want to ask mother, when can Yan Luo be released? She is pregnant and can't stand any shock. She also needs to eat some delicious food to nourish her body. I want to take care of her personally. Can you give her back to me?"

The princess's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "She is so dedicated, if you don't know, you would think she is pregnant with your child!"

Although her words had been harsh before, she had never actually intended to take Chu Yanluo's life, otherwise her son might hate him for the rest of his life.

It's not worth it to separate the mother and son for such a thing.

She just wanted to force her son to get married.

"I can let Chu Yanluo go, but you have to accompany Wan Tang back home tomorrow to give her enough face, and also give enough face to our palace."

Xiao Qingyuan frowned, said nothing, and turned away.

Early the next morning, he appeared in front of Shen Wantang: "I'll go back home with you."

Shen Wantang raised his head: "Thank you, Prince."

"You don't have to thank me. I'm going back with you just for Yan Luo. She's in my mother's hands now. Only when I complete the mission of going back will my mother return her to me."

Shen Wantang was not surprised. She would have been surprised if he was really willing to accompany her back home.

After she had packed her things, she went out and got into the carriage.

Xiao Qingyuan also sat in, but he deliberately stayed away from Shen Wantang, as if Shen Wantang had a plague.

After a while, he frowned and said, "On the day of the wedding, I did something wrong and caused you to be laughed at, but that was not my intention. I was so angry because my mother had Yan Luo arrested, so I vented my emotions on you."

Shen Wantang didn't expect that he would take the initiative to explain to her. Perhaps the princess said something to him.

It turns out that he can still listen to the princess' words?

She shook her head gently: "It's okay, Prince, don't take it to heart. I know you have your difficulties."

Shen Wantang had never loved anyone, so it was hard for her to imagine why Xiao Qingyuan committed suicide after Chu Yanluo's death. But it was obvious that he was really deeply in love to the point of ending his own life.

In this life, she married Xiao Qingyuan, so she didn't want Xiao Qingyuan to die early, otherwise how could the palace survive?

Even if he wants to die, he has to stay alive before dying.

As for which woman would give birth to his offspring, Shen Wantang didn't care, since she didn't plan to have any anyway.

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her calm appearance and remembered what his mother said, "Do you think she likes you?"

Before, he thought that her coldness was all fake, but now he felt that she might not be pretending, and she really didn't like him.

Thinking of this, he inexplicably felt much more at ease, and even looked at Shen Wantang's face a few more times.

She does have some similarities with Chu Yanluo, but Chu Yanluo is more simple, elegant and pure, while Shen Wantang is more bright and colorful. Especially today when she returned home, she was dressed quite gorgeously and wore a ruby ​​and gold hairpin on her head, which gave her a very elegant and luxurious feeling.

He shook his head: "You are actually not like Yan Luo. Yan Luo never cares about these vulgar things like gold and silver, nor does he pile so many messy things on his body and head."

Shen Wantang was too lazy to pay attention to this romantic man. She had to dress up gorgeously when she went back home. Today she was wearing a set of headgear given by the princess. There were no extra decorations. How could it be a lot of clutter?

The romantic guy has a problem with his brain.

"However, since you like these gold and silver items, I have quite a few in my storeroom. You can pick some yourself as my compensation to you."

Shen Wantang couldn't help but look at him: "Are you serious?"

"Of course. Yan Luo doesn't like these anyway, so there's no point in leaving them alone."

He said, handing her a key.

Shen Wantang took it and took back her previous judgment. There was nothing wrong with the love-sick girl's brain, not a single problem. In the future, you must give her all these gold and silver items, as she likes to pile them up!

Seeing her obviously happy, Xiao Qingyuan hastily added: "I'm not giving you these because I like you, but because my mother asked me to compensate you! There is only Yan Luo in my heart, and I will definitely bring her back to the palace in the future."

"I have already promised Yan Luo that I will only be good to her in this life. If her child is born, I will raise it as my own. I will not have a child with another woman!"

Shen Wantang touched the warehouse key and nodded absentmindedly: "Yeah, okay."

There must be so many good things in Prince Ning’s warehouse. Should she just empty his warehouse?

Now I don’t have to worry about the rest of my life!

It is better to marry into the royal palace. The mother-in-law is generous and the husband regards gold and silver as dirt. After only two days of marriage, she became rich overnight, and she even lost her ambition to expand the shop.

Back then, when she married Liao Youhe, the Liao family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, and they relied entirely on her dowry to support the whole family.

Later, her dowry was used up, forcing her to open more shops to earn more money. In the first year after her marriage, she was so busy that she lost a lot of weight.

Now, after being married to the palace for two days, she feels like she has gained weight.

Xiao Qingyuan saw that Shen Wantang had no reaction after he said a lot, as if the key in her hand was more interesting than him. She just stared at the key and didn't look at him at all.

He felt suffocated. Was this woman a piece of wood? Did she understand what he said about not having children with other women?

He said it was impossible to have a child with her and asked her to give up the idea.
