Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Qin Xin was not afraid of her, for she knew that Nanny Chai always attached great importance to rules, and she scolded her only because she was afraid that she would talk too much and bring trouble to the Crown Prince's Consort.

"Mammy, the Crown Prince's wife taught me that only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. I am paving the way for future victory!"

Shen Wantang knew that Qin Xin was naturally curious and she liked to inquire about all kinds of gossip, so she did not suppress Qin Xin's nature. Seeing that she was curious, she waved at her and let her go.

Qin Xin walked out happily. Madam Chai glared at her and said, "Girl, you don't know how many lifetimes you have accumulated to be blessed enough to be a maid for the Crown Prince's wife."

Qin Xin said with a smile: "I am so lucky. If there is a next life, I will still be a maid for the prince's wife."

Shen Wantang looked at her with amusement and couldn't help shaking her head: "You are so useless. You have a next life and you still want to be a maid. Isn't it better for you to be a young lady?"

Qin Xin shook her head. She had never thought about it.

She felt that what Nanny Chai said was very right. She had accumulated blessings in several lifetimes to be able to serve as a maid for the Crown Prince's Consort. From the moment she came to the Crown Prince's Consort's side until now, it was the most relaxed and happiest time in her life.

She bowed to Shen Wantang, walked out of the yard briskly, and trotted towards Xingheyuan.

Chu Yanluo’s heart-wrenching cries echoed in Xinghe Courtyard.

"Why won't you believe me, my lord? I went to see Master Liao just for the Xin family's case! If I really wanted to meet him in private, I wouldn't choose a crowded place like Yuhua Tower! What's more, it was rumored that Master Liao was a homosexual earlier, how could I like him!"

"That's enough! You're full of lies and I don't want to hear your explanation!"

"Xiao Qingyuan, you keep saying that you love me and that you will protect me forever. Is this how you protect me? It's fine if you don't believe me, but why didn't you help me when Shen Mingxuan bullied me? Look at my face. She hurt me so badly. Don't you feel sorry for me at all?!"

Xiao Qingyuan said coldly: "You changed your clothes and tied your hair up to meet a man secretly, and I still feel sorry for you? If I feel sorry for you, who will feel sorry for me! Also, when did you and Shen Mingxuan develop a deep hatred? The two of you fought to the death, wasn't it to compete for Liao Youhe?!"

"of course not!"

Chu Yanluo cried and denied it, but she opened her mouth and couldn't tell the specific reason.

Shen Mingxuan kept shouting that she was reborn. If she said that she was also reborn, it would be too tacky and old-fashioned, and she would be suspected of imitating Shen Mingxuan.

What's more, what she told Xiao Qingyuan before was that she could predict the future, not rebirth.

As for why she changed her clothes, it was because she was going out to meet a man at night, so she naturally didn't want to wear something too eye-catching. White clothes would easily reveal her identity and attract other people's attention, so she changed her clothes to a different color.

But when she said this reason out loud, it sounded more like she was going to meet her lover in secret. Otherwise, she would not have to hide it and could just meet Liao Youhe openly.

She didn't explain, and Xiao Qingyuan didn't need her to explain at all. He had lost all his dignity and face at the hands of Chu Yanluo today, and he was on the verge of exploding.

"Before Shen Wantang confined you, I thought she went too far. Today I understand that what she did was right! However, she was too soft-hearted. She only confined you for a few days before letting you go free!"

"Get out of my yard and go back to your Qingwu Courtyard!"

"People like you don't deserve freedom. From today on, you will continue to be under house arrest! You are not allowed to go out again!"

Chu Yanluo's face turned pale in an instant: "Xiao Qingyuan! You can't do this to me!"

Xiao Qingyuan said word by word: "Mrs. Chu, you'd better understand your own identity. You are just a concubine and have no right to call me by my name! From now on, you have to call me the prince like everyone else!"

"Mo Ji, send Aunt Chu back to Qingwu Courtyard!"

Mo Ji responded, stepped forward and forcibly dragged Chu Yanluo away.

Xiao Qingxi, who was standing by, was stunned, his eyes wide open: "Brother, you went to catch Shen Wantang in adultery but didn't catch Chu Yanluo?"

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her unhappily: "I told you Shen Wantang is not that kind of person, but you insisted on making me go. As a result, I ran into Chu Yanluo having a secret meeting with a man, and this man is the husband of Shen Wantang's elder sister."

"Ah? How could this be such a coincidence? I don't believe this is a coincidence!"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that Shen Wantang must be behind this. Maybe she deliberately let them meet! This must be her conspiracy!"

Xiao Qingyuan shook his head tiredly: "Chu Yanluo herself admitted that she was the one who wrote to Liao Youhe and asked him out. Liao Youhe's wife Shen Mingxuan also went, and she also confirmed that it was Chu Yanluo who asked Liao Youhe out. This matter has nothing to do with Shen Wantang from beginning to end."

Xiao Qingxi was anxious: "How can it have nothing to do with her? If it has nothing to do with her, why would she run out so late at night?"

Xiao Qingyuan was slightly stunned. He was so angry before that he overlooked a problem. Shen Wantang seemed to have followed Chu Yanluo to Yuhua Tower. Could it be that she had known that Chu Yanluo was going to meet Liao Youhe in private?

But if she knew, why didn't she tell him? Why didn't she stop him? Did she just watch Chu Yanluo cheat on him?

Xiao Qingyuan felt uncomfortable. Shen Wantang was too cold and didn't take him as her husband seriously!

"Brother, don't be stunned! I made a bet with Shen Wantang. If you testify to her that she didn't have a secret meeting with a man, I will have to apologize to her tomorrow!"

Xiao Qingxi shook Xiao Qingyuan's arm vigorously: "When you see Shen Wantang tomorrow, you must insist that it was Shen Wantang who was secretly meeting a man, understand?"

Xiao Qingyuan turned his head and looked at her, not saying anything for a long time.

Xiao Qingxi was a little frightened by his staring eyes, and she couldn't help but let go of his hand: "Brother, why are you looking at me like that? Anyway, you are also a cuckolded person, it doesn't matter who you are wearing a green hat."

"Xiao Qingxi!"

"What are you doing? You scared me by yelling so loudly!"

"Get out of here!"

"Hmph, forget it. Since you've been cheated on, I won't bother with you. But when you see your mother tomorrow, remember to tell her that Shen Wantang went out to meet her lover, otherwise I'm done for."

Xiao Qingyuan had a gloomy face and ignored her.

Xiao Qingxi couldn't help feeling uneasy. It was indeed a bit too much to force his brother to admit that he was not cuckolded. It was normal for his brother to be unwilling.

However, sacrificing her brother's reputation in exchange for her princess's face is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

The night passed quickly.

On the second day, when the sun was already high in the sky, Xiao Qingxi lazily got up and went to Princess Ning's place.

As soon as she entered, Princess Ning asked her, "I heard that you made a bet with Tang'er?"

Xiao Qingxi yawned: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Since you lost, go and apologize to Tang'er!"

Xiao Qingxi was horrified: "What?! I lost? Which bastard said that?!"

Xiao Qingyuan's voice sounded behind her: "Me."
