Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang was multitasking, practicing calligraphy while listening to the maid's complaints.

After the maid finished speaking, she smiled good-naturedly: "It's not a big deal. The prince's original intention was indeed to help Ye Lingyun and County Magistrate Ye, but after he brought the people back, the prince immediately reported to the palace, so the prince has actually become a pawn."

"The money that County Magistrate Ye embezzled was found so quickly. The prince did play a role. The result is good. The crisis has been resolved, and that's all."

"As for me helping the prince improve his reputation, there's actually nothing much to tell him, and I don't want him to thank me. Husband and wife are one, and since I'm married to him, I have to do something for him. His reputation is too bad, and it's not good for me. When I help him, I'm also helping myself."

In fact, Shen Wantang is already very familiar with this move.

In her previous life, Liao Youhe's good reputation was created by her with great effort.

She secretly solved cases for him and accumulated merits for him, and also secretly built up momentum for him, constantly establishing an image of him being impartial and unafraid of the powerful, and creating a good reputation for him among the people.

The emperor at that time just needed such a knife to cut off the wings of the powerful and take back the dispersed power.

With the right time, right place and right people, Liao Youhe, with her support, broke through the siege like a dark horse and became the famous first judge in Dafeng.

At that time, Liao Youhe was very convinced of her and listened to her. Although they were husband and wife in the eyes of outsiders, they were actually more like superiors and subordinates. Of course, Shen Wantang was the superior and Liao Youhe was the subordinate.

Because Liao Youhe was obedient and submissive, Shen Wantang spared no effort in helping him in his career, and she used all her abilities.

But now, the skills she used to help Xiao Qingyuan were less than one tenth.

In the final analysis, it was because Xiao Qingyuan always did what he wanted. He was easily influenced and difficult to control. It was impossible for him to be as obedient and useful as Liao Youhe. There was too much uncertainty about Xiao Qingyuan.

Moreover, unlike Xiao Qingyuan, she built a good reputation for Liao Youhe, and Liao Youhe soon realized that she was helping him. He was very grateful to her and cooperated with her. Xiao Qingyuan, on the other hand, even came to ask her to apologize to him.

This is because Shen Wantang is emotionally stable and open-minded. If it were someone else, he would probably be so angry that his liver would hurt.

But after this incident, Shen Wantang had made up her mind that from now on she would only help Xiao Qingyuan and enlighten him when absolutely necessary, and at other times, she would turn a blind eye.

Qin Xin sighed, thinking that her master had given too much to this family, but as the Crown Prince's wife said, husband and wife are one, and the Crown Prince's reputation is too bad, and the Crown Prince's wife will have no face to go out, so she can only clean up the mess for him.

"Princess, the prince said he wanted to continue solving the case. Could he be talking about the Xin family's case?"

Shen Wantang nodded: "That should be the case. Apart from this, there haven't been any other major cases recently."

Qin Xin was worried about this: "Will the prince get into trouble again this time? Will he cause trouble for you and the palace again? The prince...is not good at solving crimes!"

Shen Wantang paused for a moment, raised her head, and said hesitantly, "The Xin family case shouldn't cause any trouble for the prince, right?"

"General Xin is the only one left in the Xin family. There are no women left. Even if there are, the prince will bring them back and it won't cause any trouble."

"He can't bring General Xin back, right?"

In the previous life, she was the one who solved the case.

In this life, if she didn't solve the case, Xiao Qingyuan would not be able to solve it even if he banged his head, and no one else could solve it either, because in the previous life, she only solved the case after returning to Beijing two years later.

Xin Huailin waited for two full years, but no one in the capital could solve the case.

Although Shen Mingxuan and Chu Yanluo have both been reborn, they only know the answer but not the process, because the Ministry of Justice only announced that the murderer was Xiang Meng but did not announce how Xiang Meng killed people.

Now, without ironclad evidence, Xiang Meng will not plead guilty, and the Ministry of Justice cannot hastily close the case.

As Shen Wantang was thinking this, a cold figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

Perhaps, Gu Qianhan, the second son of the Duke's Mansion, knew the details of the Xin family case back then, and he was reborn, so he could solve the case.

But several days have passed and Gu Qianhan has not made any movement.

Could it be that he doesn't know where the key evidence is?

Shen Wantang couldn't help but be absent-minded.

She didn't know whether solving the Xin family's case would be of any use to the Gu family. She didn't know whether she could help Gu Qianhan win a glimmer of hope and allow him to lead the entire Gu family to change their fate of being wiped out.

But if it was useful, she could no longer take the credit for solving the case. After all, there was no use for her to take the credit. She originally just planned to give the credit to her mother-in-law to make her proud.

If it can save dozens of lives in the Gu family, if it can save Gu Qianhan and Gu Qianning, Shen Wantang is willing to give away this credit!

"Qinxin, bring me some letter paper, Dujuan, grind some ink!"

Dujuan quickly ground the ink.

Qin Xin immediately took the letter and said, "Princess, who are you writing to?"

"To An Ning!"

……

Qingwu Courtyard.

Chu Yanluo was surprised and delighted to see Xiao Qingyuan coming: "My Lord, you are here. I thought you were angry with me and would not come to my yard again. My Lord, please believe me. Young Master Liao and I are innocent. I only went to him for the Xin family's case! If I lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

Xiao Qingyuan was still unhappy when he thought of her secret meeting with Liao Youhe, but he came to see Chu Yanluo today because he had something to ask her, so he could only suppress his unhappiness temporarily.

He looked at the scars on Chu Yanluo's face and asked her, "Have you used medicine on the wound? Don't let your face have scars anymore."

“I don’t take any medication.”

"Why is that? Didn't the maid get you some ointment?"

"I received it, but I despise those medicines. I told the prince before that I can make scar removal medicine. I have an exclusive secret recipe."

"Oh."

Chu Yanluo thought that when she said she would make an exclusive scar removal medicine, Xiao Qingyuan would ask a lot of questions, but in the end he just said "Oh".

She couldn't help but ask, "Prince, don't you want to know what my secret recipe is? Don't you want to know what effect this ointment will have when it's made? If this is made, people will go crazy buying it if I sell it!"

This was a secret recipe that she had learned with great effort in her previous life. At that time, this scar removal medicine was extremely hard to come by and was extremely popular!

However, this scar removal medicine has not yet been released, and she is about to become the exclusive inventor of this medicine!

Unfortunately, Chu Yanluo was so excited that Xiao Qingyuan had no interest in any scar removal medicine.

He now just wants to solve the case and prove himself.

"Yanluo, you said you knew about the Xin family's case and who the real murderer was. Is this true?"
