Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingyuan's pupils suddenly shrank: "Gu Qianhan, why are you here?!"

Gu Qianhan said indifferently and coldly: "Xiao Qingyuan, you really like this maid very much. Very good, from now on, she is mine!"

Xiao Qingyuan couldn't believe it: "You deliberately sent someone to tell Huayi that her mother had passed away? Just to verify whether I like her or not?! You are simply sick!"

"Each each other!"

Gu Qianhan sneered: "I have never seen such a thing before. A servant girl's family died, and the master accompanied her back to attend the funeral! Xiao Qingyuan, you have opened up a new path for Dafeng! No wonder everyone calls you a lovesick person, you really are - crazy enough!"

Xiao Qingyuan was extremely angry. He took a step forward and grabbed Gu Qianhan's collar: "Whether I am infatuated or not has nothing to do with you! If you dare to tease me again, I will make your head explode!"

Gu Qianhan said indifferently: "When did I play tricks on you? I just wanted to meet Miss Huayi, so I sent someone to trick her back."

"I didn't expect you to come back with her. Is she your maid or your wife?"

"If I remember correctly, according to Dafeng law, only when a wife's family member dies can the husband go back to attend the funeral. Concubines do not have this qualification, and maids are even less qualified!"

Xiao Qingyuan gritted his teeth: "Maidens are also human beings! Do you think I am a heartless person like you who has no pity for the people around me? I learned that the maid's mother passed away, and I accompanied her back. I am kind-hearted!"

"Kindness?"

Gu Qianhan's eyes flashed with an icy cold light: "Your Crown Princess's face was injured, why don't you pity her? Why don't you protect her? Is this also kindness?"

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "How do you know Shen Wantang's face was injured? Are you concerned about her?"

Gu Qianhan said in a mocking tone: "She is your wife, why should I care about her? Do you think I am as kind as you? Stupid thing!"

"I don't care who gets hurt and who doesn't. I only care about which woman you like! As long as it's the one you like, I'll take it away. You owe me this!"

After Gu Qianhan finished speaking, he pushed Xiao Qingyuan aside and strode out: "Jixiang, take Huayi back to the Duke's Mansion! Tell someone to wash her clean for me. Tonight I want to see why she is so favored!"

"Yes, son!"

Jixiang took out a rope from somewhere, tied up Huayi in a few seconds, then carried him away.

Huayi panicked: "Let me go! I won't go with you! Prince, Prince, save me!"

Xiao Qingyuan hurried forward and wanted to snatch Huayi back from Jixiang, but at this moment, Gu Qianhan suddenly turned around.

A heavy punch hit Xiao Qingyuan's face.

He cried out in pain, covered his face and staggered back several steps: "Gu Qianhan! You dare to hit me?! I..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Qianhan punched him twice in succession, one in the face and one in the chest.

These two punches were heavier than the previous one. Xiao Qingyuan felt as if his bones were about to be broken!

He was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe. He watched Jixiang take Huayi out of the yard and stuff her into a carriage. Huayi's miserable cries could be heard.

"No! Huayi! Gu Qianhan, you can't take her away!"

Xiao Qingyuan endured the pain and walked forward, grabbing Gu Qianhan's clothes and punching him.

Gu Qianhan deliberately hit him twice, then threw Xiao Qingyuan to the ground over his shoulder.

Xiao Qingyuan screamed, and blood flowed from the corner of his lips.

However, Gu Qianhan still refused to let him go. He raised his foot and stepped on Xiao Qingyuan's chest: "You are no match for me. Don't touch my clothes with your claws in the future. I think it's dirty!"

Xiao Qingyuan felt a sharp pain in his chest from being stepped on. He said with a pale face, "You thought I touched your clothes and they were dirty. I also touched Hua Yi, so why don't you think it's dirty?"

"A painting is not a piece of clothing. Besides, can't it be washed if it gets dirty? I'll have someone wash it a few more times tonight. It's a piece of cake."

After Gu Qianhan finished speaking, he loosened his feet and got on the carriage.

In the carriage, Huayi's scream was heard immediately: "Don't come over here! Go away!"

Xiao Qingyuan wanted to get up and save Huayi, but he had fallen so hard and was stepped on by Gu Qianhan, so he couldn't even get up!

He yelled, "Moji, save Huayi!"

Just as Mo Ji was about to step forward, four black figures flew down from the roof and surrounded him.

Xiao Qingyuan's pupils shrank, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood in anger: "Gu Qianhan, you are shameless! You just robbed a maid, but you brought so many guards with you! You are a lunatic!"

However, the only response he got was Huayi's constant crying and screaming.

In the carriage, Gu Qianhan sat in the middle, motionless.

In a corner of the carriage, Huayi huddled there, trembling and crying, as if Gu Qianhan was some kind of devil on earth. He didn't even look at her, but she was already so frightened that she wanted to escape in terror.

"drive!"

Jixiang held the reins, shouted loudly, and drove the carriage away quickly.

Both the master and the servant ignored Huayi's crying, as if there was no such person in the car at all.

After they left, the four black-clad guards surrounding Mo Ji also disappeared.

Mo Ji then hurried forward to help Xiao Qingyuan up: "Prince, you are injured! We must hurry back to the palace and let the imperial physician take a look at you!"

"I am fine."

Xiao Qingyuan felt as if all the bones in his body were broken. He gasped in pain, but he still managed to say, "Go back to the palace, ask ten guards to follow me, and go to the Duke's Mansion to get Hua Yi back!"

Mo Ji was very embarrassed: "When you left, you had such a fight with the princess, will the princess still be willing to give you a guard?"

Xiao Qingyuan was filled with regret at this moment: "If I had known it was Gu Qianhan's plan, I shouldn't have fallen for it! Not only did I lose the painting, but I also angered my mother. This Gu Qianhan was deliberately trying to torture me to death!"

As Mo Ji carried him on his back and sent him to the carriage, he said, "The prince is too fond of Hua Yi, so he provoked the second young master Gu to snatch her from you. He told you clearly several times before that he would snatch the one you liked."

"He snatched Aunt Chu from you before because you liked her. If you didn't like Hua Yi, wouldn't he not have snatched her from you?"

"Or, you can just pretend that you don't like the painting. If Second Master Gu can lie to you, you should lie to him, too!"

"If I were to say, I think you should do the opposite in the future. The more you like someone, the more you should not let outsiders know. If you don't like someone, you can pretend to like them and trick Mr. Gu into snatching them away."

Xiao Qingyuan was lying in the carriage, his heart moved, and he blurted out: "I don't like Shen Wantang!"
