Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

With such a big change happening, Chu Yanluo of course sent someone to inquire about the reason. Then he heard that Shen Mingxuan was spreading the word everywhere, saying that he could predict the future. He also said that Liao Youhe, an inconspicuous poor student now, would be promoted in the future and would become the youngest Chief Justice of the Dali Temple in the Dafeng Dynasty.

Chu Yanluo sneered immediately. It turned out that not only she was reborn, but Shen Mingxuan, who killed her, was also reborn!

This is great, she can now avenge both her old and new grudges at the same time!

Chu Yanluo turned over while thinking. She was still planning how to deal with Shen Mingxuan. She didn't take Shen Wantang, her replacement bride, seriously.

Shen Mingxuan is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, but she is not her match. Shen Wantang, a concubine's daughter with no sense of existence, is even less likely to be her match.

Being killed by Shen Mingxuan in the previous life was purely an accident. In this life, there will be no more accidents. She will definitely kill Shen Mingxuan and Shen Wantang and take the position of the Crown Prince's Consort in the Ning Wang Mansion.

Shen Mingxuan, that idiot, was reborn and actually shouted about it everywhere. Such a huge secret is naturally best kept to oneself.

Chu Yanluo felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen and was extremely annoyed.

It was all Xiao Qingyuan's fault. When he was pursuing her, he didn't reveal his identity at all. He even wore his servant's clothes, which made her think that he was just a good-looking servant and she didn't take him seriously at all.

If he had revealed his identity earlier, how could she have gotten pregnant and forced him to marry the eldest son of the Wen Bo Mansion!

By the time we found out his identity, it was too late.

……

Wutong Court.

Xiao Qingyuan walked in aggressively with Mo Ji: "Shen Wantang, what do you mean?"

Shen Wantang raised his head from a pile of account books, his eyes slightly confused: "Sir, what happened?"

"Are you still pretending? Why didn't you even let Mo Ji have a bowl of bird's nest soup! Mother asked you to be the housekeeper, and this is how you manage it? You arbitrarily deduct the food from my Xingheyuan?! If you can't manage it, then don't worry about it. Return the housekeeper power to mother!"

"Your Highness has misunderstood. I have never withheld food from your courtyard. According to the palace regulations, Your Highness can eat bird's nest soup every day."

"Then why couldn't Mo Ji get it from the kitchen? The kitchen even asked me to buy the bird's nest myself!"

"This……"

Shen Wantang paused for a moment, then instructed Madam Chai, "Madam, call the kitchen steward and ask him what's going on."

Nanny Chai responded, went out for a moment, and soon brought in the kitchen manager.

Shen Wantang had an excellent memory. He only recognized the stewards of the palace once in the morning, but now he could call out their names: "Gao Dashen, the prince said that his servant went to the kitchen to get bird's nest soup, but you didn't give it to him and asked him to buy the bird's nest himself. Is that true?"

Gao Dashen responded respectfully: "My Lady Princess, that is true."

"Why?"

"Princess, this is what the princess specifically ordered. She said that you don't need to pay for anything you want to eat. Everything will be charged to the kitchen. But as for the prince, no matter what he wants to eat, he has to pay for it himself. Because the prince said that he doesn't want to be the prince, so the princess will fulfill his wish and let him be an ordinary person and be self-sufficient in the future."

After hearing this, Xiao Qingyuan's face turned a little ugly. Did he have to pay for the meal in his own home?

Madam Chai suddenly spoke up, "Prince, since it was ordered by the princess, it has nothing to do with the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is now a diligent housekeeper. Next time, please give her some face and ask her in private. If you rashly accuse her in public, others will think that the Crown Princess is unfair and will make her lose her prestige. But this is obviously not the Crown Princess's fault, why let her bear all this for nothing?"

Xiao Qingyuan looked at Nanny Chai, who had been his personal nanny since he was a child and for whom he had a special relationship. Later, because Nanny Chai said something about Chu Yanluo not being the right one and she strongly opposed him marrying Chu Yanluo, he drove her out of the palace in anger.

It was his mother who sent someone to bring Nanny Chai back.

After sending Nanny Chai away, he actually regretted it in his heart, but Nanny Chai didn't like Yan Luo, so he had no choice but to distance himself from Nanny Chai.

Now, hearing Nanny Chai speaking for Shen Wantang and being respectful yet distant to him, he felt quite uncomfortable.

But he knew that what Nanny Chai said made sense, and he was angry at the wrong person just now, Shen Wantang.

He looked at Shen Wantang and saw that she was quiet and did not seem angry or aggrieved at all for being wronged by him. It seemed that she had long been accustomed to being misunderstood and scolded.

He suddenly felt that Shen Wantang seemed a little pitiful. She was scolded, but she couldn't even fight back or cry.

He was silent for a while, and said awkwardly: "Shen Wantang, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

Shen Wantang said calmly, "It's okay, Prince. Do you still want to eat bird's nest soup? I haven't eaten my portion today, I can give it to you."

Her generosity made Xiao Qingyuan feel a little guilty.

He shook his head: "No, keep your share for yourself, I'll ask Mo Ji to buy it."

Mo Ji whispered beside him: "Master, silver..."

Xiao Qingyuan glared at him, his face turning pale: "Ahem! Shen Wantang, I need one thousand taels, just give it to me from your account!"

Du Juan, who was beside Shen Wantang, gasped. She widened her eyes in shock. Why did the prince ask for one thousand taels right away? Did he take money seriously?

Shen Wantang also felt that he was asking for too much, but she did not refuse. Instead, she asked Madam Chai, "Madam, according to the palace's rules, how much is the prince's monthly allowance?"

Madam Chai said, "Reporting to the Crown Prince's Consort, the Crown Prince's monthly allowance is one hundred taels, and he has already paid out this month's allowance. He did not pay out only one hundred taels, he paid out one thousand taels, so he still owes the palace nine hundred taels."

Xiao Qingyuan lost his voice and said, "What did you say?! My monthly allowance is only one hundred taels? I still owe the mansion nine hundred taels?!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"That's impossible! I used to spend more than a hundred taels a month. I've even spent ten thousand taels before!"

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. In the past, the prince and the princess didn't care how much money you spent. But the prince said in person that you don't want to be the prince of the palace. Since you are unwilling to be the prince and unwilling to bear the responsibilities of the prince, you naturally cannot enjoy the monthly allowance of the palace."

Madam Chai said slowly, "The prince has ordered this personally. You will no longer receive monthly allowances. Please pay back the 900 taels you owe this month as soon as possible. Forget the previous debts."

Xiao Qingyuan was so angry that he threw his sleeves and walked out: "If you don't want to take it, then don't take it. Do you think I live on the monthly salary? I have plenty of money!"
