Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingyuan was displeased: "What nonsense! Shen Wantang is not that kind of person. Besides, she is doing well as the Crown Prince's Consort in the palace. Meeting her lover secretly will ruin her reputation. She would do such a stupid thing only if she is out of her mind."

Xiao Qingxi sneered: "I told you that you are stupid, but you still refuse to admit it. Do you really think Shen Wantang is a good person? Shen Wantang is not that kind of person, then what kind of person is she? Are you sure you really understand her?"

"Besides, if she secretly meets her lover, no one will be able to find out as long as she hides it well. Didn't you see that she only brought two personal maids with her when she went out? She didn't even bring guards with her. It's obvious that she was going to do something shady!"

"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should be more careful. It's not enough that Chu Yanluo is pregnant with someone else's bastard, do you have to add Shen Wantang to the mix?"

"If she also gets pregnant with a bastard, you will be so embarrassed! It's okay for you to be embarrassed, but my father, mother and I don't want to be embarrassed with you!"

Xiao Qingyuan couldn't help but scold her as she kept talking. "Shut up! I've said before that Shen Wantang isn't that kind of person. Why do you always think of her as being so dirty and despicable? Mind your own business and stay out of my business!"

"Oh, do you think I want to care about your shit? I heard about your heroic deeds in the northwest two years ago. You even became a monk for a woman who was pregnant with a bastard. You are really promising!"

Xiao Qingxi glared at him: "Fortunately, I got married early, otherwise I would have been dragged to death by you! I dare not admit that I am your sister when I go out, otherwise I will be pointed at by others, do you understand?!"

“I’m telling you, if you don’t want to chase Shen Wantang away, that’s fine, but you should tell Aunt Chu to get out of here right away! She looks like a scheming bitch, and she even dared to come to my yard and give orders about the affairs between Huo Yunzhou and me. You’ve spoiled her so much that she can’t even see her own identity!”

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He couldn't listen any longer and turned away.

Xiao Qingxi grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Qingyuan gritted his teeth: "Can't I go back to my own yard?"

"No! How can you be so insensitive? Shen Wantang has gone to meet her lover secretly, and you didn't go to catch him. Are you still a man?"

"I'll say it again, Shen Wantang would never do such a thing! Her character is guaranteed, otherwise mother wouldn't have chosen her to be my Crown Prince's Consort!"

"What is character? Is it edible? Can it be trusted? You don't stay at her place overnight, she feels lonely at night, and she looks for other men to have fun together, to satisfy her hunger and thirst that she can't get from you. Isn't that normal?"

Xiao Qingyuan covered her mouth with his hand: "Will you die if you say less? Is this what a woman like you should say? What did you learn in the Northwest!"

Xiao Qingxi took his hand away: "I have learned so much! The people in the northwest are tough, and the women are different from those in the capital. They are very cool... Hey, why am I talking to you about this nonsense, are you going to catch the adulterer or not? If you don't go, I'll go by myself!"

As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and walked away.

Aunt Kang was startled: "Princess, it's not suitable for you to go out now, you should rest at home! Prince, please persuade the princess!"

Xiao Qingyuan pulled her back with a sullen face and whispered, "Wait at home, I'll go. Why are you still like when you were little? You run outside as soon as there's a little excitement outside. You're not a child now, take care of yourself!"

Xiao Qingxi subconsciously touched her belly: "The imperial physician said that I'm in good health, and Shen Wantang also said that the baby is stable. It's okay for me to go out for a while, right? It's okay for me to come back from such a far place in the northwest!"

"Why, do you believe what Shen Wantang said now? When you need her, you believe her, and when you don't need her, you scold her?"

"Humph! I naturally look down on her for other things, and there is nothing wrong with scolding her, but her medical skills have been verified by my mother herself, so I naturally believe in them a little bit."

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you, but you are not allowed to go. Otherwise, if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to my mother."

Xiao Qingyuan handed her over to Aunt Kang: "Keep an eye on her, don't let her sneak out, this is not a joke!"

Madam Kang held Xiao Qingxi's arm and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I will take good care of the princess and will not let her go out today."

Xiao Qingyuan nodded and left with Mo Ji.

Xiao Qingxi stamped her feet in anger behind him: "Xiao Qingyuan, you've gone too far! You didn't even let me watch the fun, you deserve to be cuckolded!"

When Xiao Qingyuan heard the last three words, he staggered and almost fell!

"She will piss me off sooner or later. She's making such a fuss about something that didn't happen, as if she's afraid that the whole mansion won't know about it!"

Mo Ji comforted him: "Master, don't be angry. No one in the mansion will believe what the princess said. Everyone knows that the prince's wife loves you deeply. She always speaks and acts with moderation. What the princess said is impossible to happen."

Shen Wantang is deeply in love with him?

Xiao Qingyuan shook his head. He didn't notice it. He just felt that Shen Wantang was becoming more and more cold towards him. If he stayed in her yard for a little longer, she would drive him away.

As he thought about this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Why was Shen Wantang so cold to him? Could it be that what Xiao Qingxi said was right? Did she really have a lover outside? So she didn't like him anymore?

Xiao Qingyuan's face darkened. "Qingxi is sometimes unreliable, but her random guesses might just be the right answer to the question! It's strange that Shen Wantang went out so late at night!"

"what?"

Mo Ji was confused. How did the prince come to this conclusion?

"Master, weren't you just protecting the Crown Princess in front of the Princess, saying that the Crown Princess wasn't that kind of person? Why are you doing that now..."

"What can I do if I don't protect Shen Wantang in front of Qingxi? Do you want me to admit that I've been cuckolded? I don't want Qingxi to watch the fun. First, I'm worried about her health. Second, I'm afraid that if her guess is right, where will I put my face?"

"Master, you worry too much. The Crown Princess must have gone out for something else. How could she cheat on you?"

Xiao Qingyuan clenched his fists: "People's hearts are hard to predict. I've already been betrayed once, and it was by the person I trusted the most. Now I won't trust anyone easily!"

Mo Ji knew that he was talking about the matter of Chu Yanluo and Gu Qianhan running away. Although the matter seemed to be in the past, in fact, Xiao Qingyuan always had a knot in his heart, and this knot made him not care about Chu Yanluo as much as before.

"Get ready, let's go after Shen Wantang right away. I want to see which man she went to meet so late at night! She'd better not be caught in the act by me, or I will divorce her immediately, no matter how hard you try!"

Mo Ji sighed. His master didn't even want to sit in the carriage and wanted to ride a horse directly. It was obvious that he was really anxious.
