Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Princess Ning also felt that being able to find Mu Ge's uncle in such weather was a great feat. She couldn't help but sigh, "The Crown Prince's Concubine wanted Yuan Er to focus on her, so she sent Mu Ge away! This child looks ordinary, but in fact, she doesn't want others to take Yuan Er away, right?"

"This... I think the Crown Prince's wife may not be doing all this just for the Crown Prince."

"Who is she doing this for?"

"For you, Princess."

Princess Ning was stunned: "For me?"

"During the days you were ill, the Crown Princess came to see you every day, rain or shine. She would not leave until she saw you take the medicine. From what I have seen, the Crown Princess is particularly concerned about your health. You may not know that she has been asking people to stop Mu Ge, fearing that Mu Ge would come to your yard and make you angry."

Princess Ning sighed, "This child is thoughtful. I know how filial she is to me. Looking across the entire capital, there is no daughter-in-law who can compare to Tang'er. I will have to give that bastard a lesson and ask him to consummate his marriage with Tang'er as soon as possible. No matter what, this eldest son must be Mr. Tang'er."

Nanny Quan suddenly stopped talking.

"What's the matter, Mammy, is there anything else you want to say but dare not say?"

"Well... the prince has been thinking about bringing Chu Yanluo back these past few days. If it weren't for this rainstorm, he would have already..."

Princess Ning was furious: "This evil creature! Chu Yanluo has already gone with Gu Qianhan, why is he still obsessed with her? Isn't he afraid that Chu Yanluo will cheat on him if he takes her back? That's right, he has cheated on him a long time ago, he doesn't care at all, he is so stupid that I, as his mother, don't even want to recognize him!"

"Princess, calm down."

"Forget it, let's not talk about him. Mammy, go and bring my dowry box over. Let's pick out some good things together. You can give them to the Crown Princess later. She only has a dozen or so gold hairpins, and they are all duplicated. We need to give her some new ones."

Nanny Quan smiled and said, "A dozen or so are not enough. You really love the Crown Prince's Consort from the bottom of your heart!"

"Not enough! And not fancy enough. I see she seems to like shiny gold things very much, so let's pick one with more gems for her!"

"Yes, I'll get it right away."

-

Wutong Court.

Shen Wantang sat in the main seat, looking at Ma Po who was kneeling not far away with a cold expression.

"Mammy, what was found on her?"

"My Lady, it's a packet of powdered medicine. I've asked someone to ask the pharmacy. It's a drug specially made for men to use to boost their sexual performance. If you take this dose, even the strongest man will not be able to withstand the effects and will fall into a state of confusion."

Shen Wantang asked calmly, "Ma Pozi, who are you going to give this medicine to when you bring it into the palace?"

Her voice was not loud, but her aura was strong and oppressive.

Ma Pozi, who was kneeling below, was trembling with fear. She sold Mu Ge without thinking: "Prince's Concubine, this is not what I want to buy. This is what Miss Mu wants to buy! She wants to use it for the prince and become his concubine."

Shen Wantang's tone didn't change at all: "Really? You didn't lie?"

"Absolutely not! If you don't believe me, you can call Miss Mu to ask. How dare I lie to the Crown Prince's wife!"

"Miss Mu has been taken home by her uncle. I can't ask her anymore."

Ma Pozi was stunned. She didn't expect that Shen Wantang would act so quickly. She had just gone out for a while, and Mu Ge was picked up by some uncle!

Ma Pozi knew in her heart that this time it was completely over. She had originally hoped that Mu Ge would come to protect her, but now, Mu Ge couldn't even protect her.

She collapsed completely.

Shen Wantang waved at Madam Chai and said, "Take him away and deal with him according to the rules of the mansion."

Ma Chai quickly ordered someone to drag Ma Po away, beat her with a stick, and then drove her out of the palace.

This was the first time that Shen Wantang, the housekeeper, had used such a drastic measure.

She was very kind on weekdays, and even allowed her subordinates to be lazy and make small mistakes. The most they would be punished for was just a small fine from their monthly salary.

This time, Ma Po was beaten half to death and was driven out of the palace, which really scared a lot of people.

Everyone in the palace was in danger for a while, and everyone became alert. Those who were lazy became diligent, and those who made mistakes became more serious and careful.

At night, the princess' reward arrived.

Shen Wantang opened the box and saw two gold hairpins and a jade hairpin that was completely emerald green. Both gold hairpins were inlaid with dazzling rubies, while the jade hairpin was inlaid with emeralds and diamonds.

Under the candlelight, the jewelry in this box exudes a luxurious glow, which makes people happy at first sight.

Shen Wantang thanked her again and again. Seeing that she was happy, Nanny Quan left happily, preparing to go back and tell the princess that the Crown Prince's wife liked the things she had given.

As soon as Nanny Quan left, Xiao Qingyuan arrived.

He didn't want to wear a straw raincoat and only held an umbrella, so when he arrived at Wutong Garden, he was completely wet.

Shen Wantang had no choice but to put down her new treasures and asked the maid to help Xiao Qingyuan change his clothes and wipe his hair.

"Why did the prince come here at this time? Is there something important?"

"It's nothing important, I just came to see you and talk to you."

Shen Wantang didn't react to his words. She just smiled and poured him more tea.

Qin Xin and Du Juan on the side looked at each other in bewilderment. Why did the prince change his temper? He actually came to talk to the prince's wife in the heavy rain at night?

I always feel like something is not right.

Nanny Chai learned the reason from Nanny Quan, but she said nothing at this moment. She just waited for the maids to finish serving the prince, and then took them all out, including Qin Xin and Du Juan.

Suddenly, Shen Wantang and Xiao Qingyuan were the only ones left in the room. How could Shen Wantang not understand what was going on?

But she still sat steadily, without any panic or shyness, as if she knew nothing and chatted with Xiao Qingyuan as usual.

"Is the prince feeling better today? Is the fever coming back again?"

"No, I'm much better now."

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her. Compared to her calmness and composure, he seemed very uncomfortable. He changed several postures while sitting there, but none of them made him feel uncomfortable.

He was a little absent-minded when talking to Shen Wantang.

He suddenly felt that Shen Wantang and Chu Yanluo were really alike. Not only did they look alike, but the coldness and indifference that they revealed from time to time were also similar.

Then, she felt that they were not alike at all, because Shen Wantang always wore brightly colored clothes and gorgeous jewelry, and she never concealed her love for gold and silver.

But Chu Yanluo only wears white and the simplest and most rustic wooden hairpin. She is unique and never likes vulgar things such as gold and silver.
