Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

On the other side of the screen, Shen Wantang was drinking hot tea with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

Liao Youhe did not get into the Dali Temple as an official by solving cases; he got into the Dali Temple as an official because of her.

He even relied on her to be transferred back to the capital from a remote county.

Moreover, Chu Yanluo got the order wrong. Liao Youhe was right. He had no achievements now, so even if he could solve the Xin family's case, it would be meaningless.

In his previous life, he was able to become famous with the Xin family case because he had already passed the imperial examination and became an official. With such a foundation, coupled with his astonishing ability to solve cases, he was able to enter the Dali Temple and hold real power.

In today's world, people are very realistic. If you don't have any achievements or are not an official, it will be difficult to be valued or promoted even if you are capable.

Just like Shen Wantang, she knew that her abilities were much stronger than Liao Youhe's. Unfortunately, she was a woman. She could neither pass the imperial examination nor become an official in the court. Even to solve the case, she had to rely on Liao Youhe's identity to enter the scene for investigation and autopsy.

Seeing her smile, Qin Xin couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Princess, what are you laughing at? Is what Aunt Chu said wrong? Can't Master Liao solve the case?"

Shen Wantang shook her head slightly.

Qin Xin was confused. Was the Crown Princess saying that she couldn't do it, or that she didn't know?

Du Juan was from the Shen family after all. She whispered to Qin Xin, "Mr. Liao was the one that the eldest lady insisted on marrying. The eldest lady had said before that Mr. Liao would be the chief judge of the Dali Temple in the future and that he was particularly good at solving cases. But we have never seen Mr. Liao being interested in these things. The servant who served Mr. Liao said that he only cared about studying and didn't care about anything else."

Qin Xin was surprised: "Why did Aunt Chu come to ask Master Liao to help her solve the case?"

"Who knows? Maybe she also heard about the eldest lady's story and believed her words about rebirth!"

Over there, Chu Yanluo was still persuading Liao Youhe. When Liao Youhe wanted to leave, she held him back and refused to let him go.

As Shen Wantang listened, he looked around the third floor and saw someone suddenly coming up the stairs.

She was slightly stunned. Xiao Qingyuan?

Why is he here? Is he following her or Chu Yanluo?

Shen Wantang was just wondering when she saw him walking towards her with a cold face.

He quickly came in front of her, and Qin Xin and Du Juan hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Xiao Qingyuan frowned. Why was Shen Wantang alone? There was not even any food or wine on the table, only a pot of tea. She did not look like she was here to meet her lover.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a very familiar voice coming from the next table: "Mr. Liao, please don't leave! I can give you money, as much as you want, as long as you don't leave, we can have a good chat!"

Xiao Qingyuan's body stiffened. He slowly turned his head and stepped over the carved screen that separated the two tables.

Then, he saw that Chu Yanluo was grabbing a man's arm. The man tried to pry her hand open, but she refused to let go.

The two people were so engrossed in the tug of war that they didn't even notice there was someone standing next to them.

Mo Ji looked at his master's face and saw that it was so gloomy that his teeth were almost broken.

He had no choice but to cough lightly to interrupt the tug of war between the two: "Ahem, Aunt Chu, the prince is here."

Chu Yanluo was so frightened that she let go of Liao Youhe's arm in an instant.

Liao Youhe's clothes had been wrinkled by her, and his collar had loosened a little. He tidied his clothes in a rather embarrassed manner, then bowed to Xiao Qingyuan with a guilty look on his face: "Sir, it's not what you think, please don't misunderstand."

Xiao Qingyuan's face looked extremely ugly. He originally wanted to catch Shen Wantang committing adultery, but he didn't expect that he caught the adulterer, but it was not Shen Wantang, but Chu Yanluo again!

He said with a gloomy face: "Who are you? When did you hook up with Chu Yanluo?!"

Liao Youhe was shocked. He waved his hands hastily: "No, no, no, my lord, I have nothing to do with her. It was purely an accident that I came out to see her today!"

"Don't you remember me, Prince? We met when you and the Crown Princess got married! We also met when you accompanied the Crown Princess back home!"

"I'm Liao Youhe, and my wife is Shen Mingxuan, the eldest daughter of the Shen family. We are brothers-in-law!"

Xiao Qingyuan didn't remember such a person at all. Strictly speaking, during the wedding and the return visit, he didn't take anyone from the Shen family seriously, and of course he didn't remember anyone's face or name. The only person he was thinking about at that time was Chu Yanluo.

However, reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.

Chu Yanluo, the person he cared about the most, betrayed him the most and hurt him the most.

Chu Yanluo had recovered from her shock. She hurried forward and said, "My Lord, I came to see Master Liao because of the Xin family's case. Don't you want evidence? He knows!"

Liao Youhe was so anxious that his tongue almost got tied up: "No, no, no, don't talk nonsense! I don't know anything! I haven't been out of the house for a long time!"

Thirteen people from the Xin family disappeared mysteriously, and this case shocked the entire capital. Liao Youhe didn't want to have anything to do with such a big case, otherwise, if the Ministry of Justice suspected him of being a suspect, it would be troublesome!

Originally, the Shen family was listed as a suspect because Xin Huailin's sister had worked as a maid in the mansion. At this time, Chu Yanluo talked nonsense and said that he knew the evidence and would kill him!

Xiao Qingyuan didn't care about the case or the evidence at this moment. He looked at Chu Yanluo with red eyes: "Chu Yanluo, what are you wearing? Aren't you only wearing white clothes? Am I blind now? Is this white?"

Lian Mo Ji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and look at Chu Yanluo. He was already surprised the moment he saw Chu Yanluo.

Because Chu Yanluo's current dress is completely different from when she was in the palace. She is wearing a lake green skirt and a smoky purple cape. Her long hair is no longer loose, but is combed into a common heart-topped bun.

Chu Yanluo now dresses like an ordinary woman in the capital.

Chu Yanluo's face turned pale. She didn't expect Xiao Qingyuan to appear here, and she didn't expect that he would see her if she wasn't wearing white clothes.

But she quickly put all the blame on Xiao Qingyuan: "How dare you ask me, my lord? You didn't even buy me a white dress, so I don't have anything decent to wear when I go out. I have no choice but to wear this."

If Chu Yanluo had said this in the past, Xiao Qingyuan would have felt guilty and distressed, but now, he only felt angry: "You lied to me! You can obviously wear other colors, but you insisted on asking me to buy you white!"

"Tell me, where did you get this dress? It's not the style that would be made in a royal palace!"
