Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

But he found nothing.

Shen Wantang had already taken a step ahead of him and pulled his hand back.

Xiao Qingyuan noticed that she didn't want him to touch her, and felt a little uncomfortable: "Shen Wantang, you..."

Shen Wantang didn't care whether he was comfortable or not, and interrupted him indifferently: "It's getting late, Qinxin, send the prince back to Xingheyuan to rest, and tell Huayi to serve the prince well and let him sleep."

Qin Xin heard her master emphasize the last two words and thought that she was very angry because she was woken up in the middle of the night, so she emphasized it.

She responded, "Yes, Princess, I will tell Huayi to let the prince go to bed early."

After she finished speaking, she helped Xiao Qingyuan up and sent him away.

As soon as Xiao Qingyuan left, Shen Wantang ordered Du Juan: "Send someone to the Shen family and bring Shen Mingxuan to me!"

Du Juan was stunned: "Now? Princess, aren't you going to sleep?"

"Do you think I can sleep now? Since I can't sleep, why should Shen Mingxuan sleep? Send someone to the Shen family immediately!"

Dujuan knew that her master, who rarely got angry, was really angry this time.

She ran out quickly and asked someone to go to Shen's house to bring people back.

Not long after, Shen Mingxuan was brought here.

Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were in disarray, and she even had a half-awake look on her face.

When she saw Shen Wantang, she couldn't believe it: "Shen Wantang, you are crazy! Why did you send someone to kidnap me from the Shen family and bring me to your Ning Wang Mansion in the middle of the night?! Is there any law here?"

Shen Wantang said coldly: "What did you say, sister? When did I tie you up and bring you to our Prince Ning's Mansion?"

Shen Mingxuan was stunned: "Aren't you lying with your eyes open?! If you didn't kidnap me, then who kidnapped me? Was it a ghost?!"

"You are becoming more and more shameless. You dare not take responsibility for what you did!"

"Hahaha, I get it. Xiao Qingyuan knew about your affair with Gu Qianhan before marriage, right? He scolded you, right? He asked the nanny to examine you, right?"

"Oh, you really deserve it. I told you not to show off your power by marrying into Prince Ning's mansion and coming back to the Shen family! You can't show off now, right? Are you weak?"

Shen Wantang stood up, walked forward, and slapped her in the face.

Shen Mingxuan screamed and blood oozed from the corners of her lips.

She was filled with shock and anger, and she screamed and cursed: "Shen Wantang, you bastard, you dare to hit me?! If you have the guts, let go of the rope that tied me up, and see if I can beat you to death!"

Compared to her crazy screaming and jumping, Shen Wantang seemed a little cold, as if she was not the one who had just done it.

She said calmly, "I forgot to tell you, sister. I didn't ask you to come to Prince Ning's Mansion. It was Aunt Chu who said she missed you, so she sent someone to invite you to come and reminisce with her."

Shen Mingxuan's expression suddenly changed: "What did you say? What do you mean?!"

"Someone, please send my dear sister to Aunt Chu's place. You see, I was so busy reminiscing with my sister that I forgot Aunt Chu was anxious to see her. I heard that you two had a dispute in the restaurant a few days ago. I guess Aunt Chu invited my sister here this time to apologize to her."

Shen Mingxuan's face turned pale: "Shen Wantang, don't be so ruthless! You knew that I had a grudge against Chu Yanluo, but you deliberately sent me to her and tied me up. You want me to die!"

Shen Wantang laughed suddenly: "How can my sister die? My sister won't die. After all, if she dies, she won't feel pain. It's more interesting if you live, right?"

"Shen Wantang, you are a lunatic! You have such a vicious heart! You were just pretending to be nice and obedient before. You deceived everyone!"

Shen Wantang still smiled: "Sister, you are wrong. I am obviously kind-hearted. Look, you slandered me in front of the prince and instigated him to come back and make trouble with me, but I was not angry. I repaid evil with kindness and helped you and Aunt Chu resolve their grievances. You should thank me."

Shen Mingxuan looked at her in horror: "You are so scary! Shen Wantang, you are so scary!"

The smile on Shen Wantang's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a cold and murderous expression: "Shut her mouth and take her away! Send her to Chu Yanluo and let her have fun!"

A piece of rag was stuffed into Shen Mingxuan's mouth. She was extremely frightened, but could only make a whimpering sound and could not utter a single word.

The culprit was taken away and the room became quiet.

Shen Wantang picked up a bowl of steaming ginseng tea and asked Qin Xin, "How is the prince? Is he asleep?"

Qin Xin said respectfully: "As you ordered, let Huayi serve the prince, and the prince has fallen asleep."

"very good."

Shen Wantang took a sip of ginseng tea and said calmly, "Now, go wake him up for me."

Qin Xin was stunned: "Ah? This... the prince was woken up just after he fell asleep. I'm afraid he will be angry. Usually, the prince will sleep until noon before waking up."

"The prince's concubine is welcoming her friends into the mansion to reminisce about the past. How can the prince be absent from such a warm scene? Angry? No, the prince wasn't angry even when he woke me up. How could he be angry when I woke him up? The prince will surely understand my painstaking efforts."

"But... Master, didn't you specifically ask Huayi to put the prince to sleep?"

"If you don't coax him to sleep, how can you wake him up? It's only fun to wake him up after he falls asleep."

Shen Wantang's eyes were slightly cold: "If I don't sleep, none of them can sleep either!"

Qin Xin was startled and now she understood Shen Wantang's intention!

It turned out that she deliberately asked Huayi to coax Xiao Qingyuan to sleep. It was the middle of the night, and he had just fallen asleep when he was woken up again. The prince must be so angry!

When I see Aunt Chu and Shen Mingxuan quarreling, I’m afraid she will get even angrier!

The Crown Prince's Concubine used this tactic of giving the other person a taste of his own medicine, and it was a beautiful move! It was so satisfying!

Qin Xin's awe of Shen Wantang deepened. She smiled and said, "What the Crown Prince's wife said is right. I will go and wake the Crown Prince up right away!"

She quickly left Wutong Garden, went to Xinghe Courtyard, and went straight into the inner room.

Huayi slept with Xiao Qingyuan, but she was a light sleeper and opened her eyes immediately when she heard the noise.

Seeing that it was Qin Xin, she was surprised and asked in a low voice: "Sister Qin Xin, why are you here again?"

Qin Xin ignored her and shouted, "Prince, Prince, wake up! Prince, something bad has happened! Something has happened, Prince!"

Huayi was caught off guard and was startled by her: "Keep your voice down!"

Xiao Qingyuan beside her was so frightened that he opened his eyes instantly.

Seeing that it was Qin Xin, Xiao Qingyuan was very angry: "Why did you come here to yell at me? Is this how Shen Wantang disciplines the maids? Where are your rules? Have they been eaten by dogs?! Get out!"

Qin Xin was not bothered by the scolding. She said anxiously, "Sir, go check on Aunt Chu. Something has happened to her!"

Xiao Qingyuan was very annoyed after being woken up. He turned over, closed his eyes and continued to sleep: "What can happen to her in the mansion? Get out of here right now. If you keep making noises, I'll sell you out!"
