Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang looked at Madam Chai in surprise: "Madam, is there anything wrong with this? When my father's friend came to visit before, my father was not at home, and I entertained him. That time, he stayed for half an hour, and I didn't leave until my father came back. After all, as the host family, we can't let the guests sit alone. This is not the way to entertain guests."

Madam Chai shook her head. "There was nothing wrong with the Crown Prince's wife's hospitality last time. The prince even praised you afterwards. But this Second Master Gu, I always feel that he is a little strange. Last time, he went to Wutong Garden for no reason. This time, the Crown Prince was clearly in the mansion, but he did not go directly to see him. Instead, he stayed in the flower hall for so long. This... is not appropriate."

Shen Wantang himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Gu Qianhan himself said that Xiao Qingyuan didn't like him, so it was normal that he didn't go directly to Xingheyuan.

However, since Nanny Chai felt that something was not right, she still chose to believe Nanny Chai. After all, even if she lived again, she had only lived for twenty-six years. Nanny Chai was twenty-five years older than her and had eaten more salt than she had eaten rice. Since she had reminded her, she must have had her reasons for doing so.

"I remember what Mammy said. I will just give her a brief reception next time."

Nanny Chai felt very relieved to see that Shen Wantang could listen to her. In fact, Shen Wantang was the master, so it didn't matter even if she didn't listen to her.

However, she didn't tell him the real reason why she didn't want Shen Wantang and Gu Qianhan to stay together for too long.

She has lived half her life, is an experienced person, and is also very experienced. She feels that the way Gu Qianhan looks at Shen Wantang is very different.

Even though Gu Qianhan claimed that he liked Chu Yanluo and even snatched her away from Prince Ning's Mansion, Nanny Chai could conclude that Gu Qianhan didn't like Chu Yanluo, but probably liked the Crown Prince's Consort from their Prince Ning's Mansion.

Because Nanny Chai could feel that Gu Qianhan's attitude towards Chu Yanluo was completely different from the way he treated Shen Wantang.

Although Gu Qianhan was actually very restrained, he didn't say a word he shouldn't have said and didn't do anything he shouldn't have done, but sometimes when you love someone, even if you control all your words and actions, you can't control your eyes.

Nanny Chai didn't reveal this matter because she was afraid that Shen Wantang would also take it to heart.

But, in fact, she could fully understand why Gu Qianhan didn't like Chu Yanluo and why he liked Shen Wantang.

Although Nanny Chai is a woman herself, she also feels that if she were a man, she would also like Shen Wantang.

She was a beauty with an air of natural beauty that no one could get tired of looking at. Add to that her calm and steady personality, and the smile she often brought to people's faces when she spoke, and it was easy for people to feel close to her.

Any man with a little bit of brains would want to marry a wife like this.

Only a brainless person would want to marry someone like Chu Yanluo who is both naughty and restless.

After returning to Wutong Garden, Shen Wantang began to read the book about astrology again. He took notes while reading, and was very serious and dedicated.

When Matron Chai saw her like this, she was immediately relieved. The Crown Prince's Consort didn't notice anything unusual about Gu Qianhan at all. She probably just thought of Gu Qianhan as a passer-by and didn't take this most noble young man in the capital seriously at all.

Shen Wantang was busy reading and studying astrology, and had indeed forgotten about Gu Qianhan.

She had never thought that Gu Qianhan would have other thoughts about her.

In his previous life, he refused the marriage proposal from the Liu family and did not marry Liu Nanshi, whom everyone thought was a perfect match for him. He traveled alone for several years. After returning to Beijing, he became obsessed with investigating and solving cases. Women had no appeal to him.

Xingheyuan.

When Xiao Qingyuan saw Gu Qianhan, his face immediately darkened: "Gu Qianhan, you still dare to come? Aren't you afraid that I will ask someone to beat you out?"

Gu Qianhan glanced at him, took off his cloak, picked a chair and sat down without any hesitation.

"If I remember correctly, last time, you were taken away by the guards of your Ning Palace. You couldn't even command the guards of the palace, so who could you command to beat me out? Mo Ji? He shouldn't be able to beat me."

Xiao Qingyuan was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead, but what Gu Qianhan said was the truth. He really couldn't order the guards of the palace around now. Not to mention the guards, he couldn't even order the maids around.

He endured it again and again, and finally said after a while: "What are you doing here again? In such a rainy day, shouldn't you stay at home? Why do you always run outside!"

Gu Qianhan said calmly: "I just came to see how my good brother is doing. If you are not doing well, I will be relieved."

“I’m doing great!”

"Really? You're actually living a good life? You ruined my marriage and ruined my reputation, and you still have the nerve to live a good life?"

Gu Qianhan's face turned cold: "If you are living well, then I will be unhappy. I heard that you have taken Chu Yanluo as a concubine. Now, you have both wives and concubines, but I am still alone. I feel very unbalanced. You have two women now, it's not too much to give me one, right?"

Xiao Qingyuan was furious: "Gu Qianhan, are you done yet? Did you come here to humiliate me on purpose? Do you think I'm someone like Yuan Zheng, whose wives and concubines can be given away at will?"

Gu Qianhan nodded: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that Yuan Zheng is going to get married soon. However, I think what you said is not quite right. Yuan Zheng's concubines were indeed given away casually, but he probably wouldn't give away his wife."

"He is different from the Crown Prince. Even though he is a worthless person, he would never do such a foolish thing as favoring his concubine over his wife. Oh, by the way, I heard that in order to make his new wife feel comfortable, he sent all his concubines away in the past few days and is preparing to change his appearance and start a new life."

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned pale. When did he end up being compared with that playboy Yuan Zheng? And how come after the comparison, it seemed like Yuan Zheng won and he lost?

It was obvious that Gu Qianhan was trying to disgust him!

He clearly disliked Yuan Zheng the most in the past, but now, in order to disgust him, he has started to praise Yuan Zheng!

But before Xiao Qingyuan could say anything, Chu Yanluo, who was standing beside him, spoke first: "Mr. Gu actually believed that Yuan Zheng would change his appearance and become a new man? A playboy like him can only pretend to be a good person for a few days at most. His nature cannot be changed. You don't need to flatter him."

Gu Qianhan looked indifferent: "It sounds like you know Yuan Zheng very well. If I remember correctly, you have only seen Yuan Zheng once in this yard. How come you have seen him in a place where Xiao Qingyuan and I can't see?"
