Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingyuan didn't care about Madam Gu at all. His eyes immediately fell on the "enemy". He gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Qianhan? How dare you come to our palace? Believe it or not, I will beat you to a pulp!"

"Qingyuan!"

Princess Ning stopped him sternly: "Madam Gu brought the second young master here to apologize today, don't cause trouble!"

"I didn't cause any trouble! Why does mother always try to be so mean? It was obviously Gu Qianhan who was insidious and shameless and forcibly took my maid away!"

"She's just a maid, what's the harm in sending her away?!"

"Maidens are also human beings, not playthings to be fought over!"

Xiao Qingyuan finished speaking righteously, and then looked at Gu Qianhan: "Get out of the palace, we don't welcome you!"

Gu Qianhan saw that he cared more about the maid than his own wife, and suddenly smiled: "It would have been better if the prince hadn't mentioned Huayi. I originally came to the palace with my mother to apologize, and I was ready to stop thinking about her. But you mentioned Huayi again and again, which made my quiet heart restless again!"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned ugly. How could he forget again that Gu Qianhan couldn't stand seeing him doing well? The more he liked someone, the more Gu Qianhan would snatch her away!

Gu Qianhan ignored his ugly expression and asked with interest, "Why is Huayi sick? Wasn't she fine when she left the Duke's Mansion yesterday? How could she be sick?"

"Gu Qianhan, stop pretending! You're asking even though you already know the answer! Huayi was forced to soak in the bathtub by you, and her clothes were taken away by you. How could she not get sick?"

"Did she catch a cold? Oh, if I had known, I wouldn't have let her take a bath for so long yesterday."

Gu Qianhan looked very concerned about Huayi: "How about this, Prince, give her to me, and I will take her back to the Duke's Mansion to nurse her back to health. I see that you can't even afford to hire a doctor for her, you are really poor, and I am worried about leaving her with you!"

Xiao Qingyuan's face flushed red: "Who said I can't afford a doctor?!"

"Then please come!"

"Humph, we don't need you to teach us about the affairs of our palace! Shen Wantang is the best doctor, I don't even need to ask for an imperial physician!"

Xiao Qingyuan said, looking at Shen Wantang: "Shen Wantang, come with me to Xingheyuan to diagnose Huayi's pulse and prescribe a prescription!"

Shen Wantang thought she had a pretty good temper, but when Xiao Qingyuan called her in public to diagnose the maid's pulse and treat her illness, she found it difficult to control her temper.

Xiao Qingyuan didn't give her face, so she didn't want to give Xiao Qingyuan face either: "Madam Chai, go call the traffickers. It's time for a new batch of maids to enter the mansion. In addition, sell out those maids who don't know the difference between the superior and the inferior and who commit crimes against their superiors!"

"Yes, Crown Princess."

Xiao Qingyuan couldn't believe it: "Shen Wantang! What do you mean? Are you planning to sell Hua Yi?!"

Shen Wantang looked at him coldly: "Don't worry, my lord. After Huayi is sold, I will naturally buy a new maid to serve you."

"I don't want any other maids, I just want Huayi!"

"My Lord, as a maid, the most important thing is to do your duty and abide by the rules. If the master who is bewitched loses his sense of propriety for her, and the mistress of the house needs to go to treat her, then it is naturally very inappropriate, and no family will keep her."

"Shen Wantang, if you dare to sell Hua Yi, I will divorce you!"

"Then I will wait for the prince's letter of divorce!"

Princess Ning was so angry at her son that she almost fainted. She pointed at Xiao Qingyuan with a shaking finger, and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Madam Gu was looking at this scene with shock on her face. She knew that Xiao Qingyuan's style of doing things was very peculiar, but she never expected that he would be so unorthodox and unbelievable!

Divorcing your wife for a maid?

Did she hear it correctly?

Xiao Qingyuan turned out to be just as the rumors said, he hated his Crown Prince's Consort so much!

Rumor has it that Xiao Qingyuan has not yet consummated his marriage with Shen Wantang!

Mrs. Gu didn't believe it at first, but now she does.

Originally, she didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Prince Ning's Mansion, but she was excited to see the opportunity and didn't want to bury a woman like Shen Wantang.

She walked forward, took Xiao Qingyuan's hand, and spoke in a tone that couldn't be friendlier: "My Lord, I apologized to you on behalf of Qianhan yesterday. Today I apologize to you again. Don't worry, with me here, Qianhan will never steal your maid again."

"Thank you, ma'am. You are sensible."

"You're welcome. However, if the prince really wants to divorce his wife, remember to tell me. I have heard of the prince's wife for a long time. After seeing her today, I really like her! My nephew in my mother's family is still unmarried. He needs a capable wife to support the family. Tang'er is very suitable for him."

When Mrs. Gu said this, everyone was stunned.

Xiao Qingyuan was even more stunned: "You... Madam, are you... are you going to marry Shen Wantang to your nephew?! Which nephew? The only nephew I know of yours is Pei Linan from the Prince's Mansion!"

Madam Gu nodded with a smile on her face: "Yes, yes, it's Lin'an!"

"What?! Really the little prince?!"

Madam Gu ignored his shock. This was a rare opportunity and she didn't want to miss it. "As you know, Lin'an's mother died early and his father has always lived in his fiefdom, which is very far away from the capital. As his aunt, I have to help him arrange a marriage."

Xiao Qingyuan's eyes almost popped out of his head: "If you are arranging a marriage for him, you should arrange one for him that is of equal status! Why would you arrange a divorced woman for him?!"

"You are young now, aren't you? If a woman is divorced, it depends on the reason. If she is divorced because she committed a serious fault, then of course you cannot marry her. But if it is not the woman's fault, then it can only be considered a divorce."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "My nephew is weak in body and temperament, and he has been unable to find a suitable girl. If he is too strong, I am afraid that he will be wronged. If he is too weak, I am afraid that I will not be able to support the Prince's Mansion."

"Today I saw that Tang'er is neither arrogant nor impatient, and has a very good temper. She is quite suitable for my nephew. If you don't want to live with her, tell me first, and don't let others snatch her away."

Xiao Qingyuan's mind went blank. Why was Mrs. Gu actually fighting for the woman he wanted to divorce?

Pei Lin'an was indeed in very poor health, and it was indeed for this reason that he refused to marry. The imperial physician had said that he would not live past the age of twenty, and now he was already nineteen.

But he is the son of a prince after all, so how could he fall to the point of marrying a divorced woman?

Pei's ancestors followed Emperor Gaozu in building the country and had great merit in following the emperor, so they were granted the title of king of a different surname and were given a very rich fiefdom. They have always been one of the most powerful noble families, otherwise the Duke of Zhenguo would not have married Madam Gu.

And Mrs. Gu, who has always been extremely steady and thoughtful, would actually openly propose to ask for Shen Wantang in marriage on behalf of her nephew?

Where is her steadiness? Where is her thoroughness?

Isn't this a slap in his face? !
