Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Since she had already asked him to leave, Xiao Qingyuan naturally couldn't stand here any longer.

He looked at Shen Wantang deeply, then turned and walked out.

Huo Yunzhou originally wanted to say a few more words to Shen Wantang, hoping to gain her favor, but Xiao Qingyuan had already left, and it would be inappropriate for him to stay here any longer.

He had no choice but to bow to Shen Wantang and left reluctantly.

Chu Yanluo clenched her hands tightly: "Shen Wantang, I will prove that what I said is true. Your dowry nanny and her son are vicious murderers! Just wait to be questioned by the prince!"

Shen Wantang said coldly: "The prince has already said that he believes me. Aunt Chu looks very unconvinced? It seems that the last confinement was not enough for you, and you want to be confined again."

Chu Yanluo was still mocking Shen Wantang a few more times, but when he heard that she was going to put him under house arrest again, he immediately shut his mouth and dared not say a word.

Her expression changed several times, and finally she had to grit her teeth and leave.

Chu Yanluo cursed Shen Wantang in her heart, and at the same time she was extremely angry and regretful. It was said that a high-ranking official could crush people to death, and the same was true for the women in the backyard. Being a concubine was like this, being suppressed everywhere. If the power in the hands of the wife was used a little bit, she would be in big trouble!

Qin Xin felt relieved when she saw Chu Yanluo walk away in disgrace: "This Aunt Chu really doesn't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. She even dared to instigate the prince to cause trouble for the prince's wife! Princess, you should put her under house arrest again, so that she won't forget who she is and run into our yard and act wild again."

After all the strangers left, Shen Wantang regained her amiable demeanor. She chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. Not restraining her will certainly have its uses. She came here to act wild, but she didn't get any benefit, did she?"

Qin Xin nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right! The prince didn't believe her at all today, and he seemed to be a little disgusted with her! Aunt Chu is no longer the woman who could deceive the prince no matter what she said or did!"

"Oh, by the way, the prince also said that you will always be his prince consort, and that no one can replace you!"

Qin Xin's face flushed with excitement: "Princess, does this count as the prince confessing his love to you?"

Shen Wantang said calmly, "Not really."

"Why not?! The prince has said that he believes you. He knows that you are not the kind of person who would tip off the murderer! He must have you in his heart now!"

Shen Wantang found it funny to see her touched expression: "Just listen to what a man says, don't take it to heart."

Qin Xin's touched expression froze on her face: "Ah?"

Shen Wantang didn't say anything more. It didn't matter whether Xiao Qingyuan believed her or not. What mattered was that Xiang Meng was really the murderer, and she really couldn't let him get away.

"Du Juan, have someone send a message to the person I left at the Shen family, asking him to keep an eye on Xiang Meng for me."

"Yes!"

"And Nanny Jin, you need to keep an eye on her too. If she shows any abnormality, have someone report it immediately!"

"Yes!"

Dujuan responded and then went out.

Qin Xin was a little dumbfounded: "Princess, you didn't believe Aunt Chu's lies, did you? Do you think Aunt Jin's son is the murderer?"

Shen Wantang sighed softly: "It's always right for me to be prepared first."

"Ah? This..."

Qin Xin gradually came to her senses. She looked at Shen Wantang hesitantly, "Then...what if, I mean what if, what if it really is Nanny Jin's son, then Aunt Chu is right? Can she really predict the future?"

Shen Wantang stretched out a finger and tapped the maid's forehead lightly: "Maybe."

Qin Xin's excitement just now disappeared completely in an instant. She said with great concern: "If she can really predict the future, then wouldn't the prince value her very much? You just got closer to the prince, but now I'm afraid you're going back to the starting point."

Shen Wantang smiled and shook her head. She didn't feel that she and Xiao Qingyuan had become closer. They had always been at the starting point.

As for whether Xiao Qingyuan would value Chu Yanluo in the future, she didn't care. She was just a little curious about what Chu Yanluo would do next.

Since Chu Yanluo was reborn, she must know that the person who solved the Xin family case in the previous life was Liao Youhe.

Will she go to Liao Youhe and ask him where the evidence is?

Shen Wantang was looking forward to how Liao Youhe would react when he heard Chu Yanluo asking these questions.

After Dujuan went out, she came back soon.

As soon as she came back, Shen Wantang said again: "Dujuan, let our people keep an eye on one more person."

Du Juan was very confused: "Who else does the Crown Prince's Consort want to target?"

"My good brother-in-law, Liao Youhe."

It’s quite interesting to think that my ex-husband becomes my brother-in-law.

Du Juan didn't understand why Shen Wantang had people keep an eye on Liao Youhe, but she still went to deliver the message as instructed.

By the evening, Du Juan finally understood why Shen Wantang had people keep an eye on Liao Youhe.

She felt that her master seemed to be able to predict the future!

Because Xiang Meng from the Shen family had not made any move yet, Chu Yanluo from the palace took action first.

Du Juan whispered to Shen Wantang, "Princess, Aunt Chu has asked Uncle Liao to meet her tonight, and Uncle Liao has agreed. The meeting place is Yuhua Tower. Aunt Chu has already left the house, but Uncle Liao has not yet left the house."

Shen Wantang tapped the table with her slender fingers: "She is really impatient. She went to find Liao Youhe so soon."

"Princess, I don't understand. Why did Aunt Chu go to find Uncle Liao when she didn't go to find Aunt Jin or Xiang Meng? Uncle Liao is related to the Xin family's case."

There is naturally no connection in this life, but there was in the previous life, but Shen Wantang cannot say it.

She stood up and said, "Change your clothes. Let's go to Yuhua Tower and see what's going on."

When Qin Xin heard that she was going to watch the fun, her eyes shone brighter than the candlelight beside her: "Princess, please take me with you!"

Shen Wantang has always been indulgent towards her maids. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you with me. Our Qin Xin will be there for all the fun."

Qin Xin felt the indulgence of her master, and was so happy that she felt a little dizzy: "Thank you, Princess!"

"Why don't you bring me some clothes and jewelry?"

"I'll get it for you right away!"

Qin Xin was quick and agile, and she and Du Juan dressed her up in no time.

Shen Wantang first went to her mother-in-law's yard and told her that she was going out. Princess Ning did not ask her what she was going to do, but only told her to wear an extra cloak, bring a hand warmer, and bring enough maids and guards.

Shen Wantang also listened to her and wore an extra cloak and brought a hand warmer, but did not bring too many maids and guards.

After all, we are going there to eavesdrop and watch the fun today, and it is not very convenient with too many people.

She only took Dujuan and Qinxin with her and then went out.

But what she didn't know was that when she went out, she was seen by Xiao Qingyuan and Xiao Qingxi, brother and sister.

Xiao Qingxi nudged Xiao Qingyuan with his elbow: "Brother, it's getting dark, what is Shen Wantang doing outside? Could she be meeting her lover behind your back?"
