Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Madam Gu was choked by him. She snorted coldly and said, "You have always been hard-hearted and cold-hearted. If you don't feel sorry for him, I will! I will definitely get him the wife who is most suitable for him!"

Gu Qianhan said indifferently, "You can't snatch it. I won't help you with this matter, and Xiao Qingyuan won't divorce his wife. Even if he wants to, Prince Ning and Princess Ning won't agree! Didn't you hear it? In Prince Ning's Mansion, Xiao Qingyuan's words don't count, only Shen Wantang's words count!"

Madam Gu was silent for a long time before she said, "This is indeed a problem. Princess Ning loves her daughter-in-law too much. Xiao Qingyuan can't divorce her by himself. However, we can also start with Shen Wantang. What if she is willing to divorce and marry someone else? Princess Ning can't stop her, right?"

Gu Qianhan frowned: "What are you going to do?"

"Didn't you just say you wouldn't help me? Then you don't have to worry about what I do."

Madam Gu choked him for a moment, and after a while, she couldn't help asking him, "Have you seen Shen Wantang's nails?"

Gu Qianhan was in a bad mood, so his tone was naturally not much better: "Why would I stare at a woman's nails for no reason? I didn't see it!"

Madam Gu didn't care about her son's tone. She continued, "Shen Wantang's nails are so well maintained! They are shiny and round, with crescents on each one, pink and rosy, like pearls."

"so?"

"Everything else can be faked, except nails. You can tell how a girl is doing just by looking at her nails! Shen Wantang must be in very good health, with abundant blood and qi, and extremely healthy, which is very suitable for childbirth."

Gu Qianhan's expression was somewhat unsightly: "So you want her to give Pei Linan a child?"

Madam Gu nodded: "Lin'an has always liked children, so we should give him a child. Even if he really... dies in the future, he can rest in peace."

Gu Qianhan sneered: "He is so sick that he can't even get out of bed, how can he have a child? Mother is really crazy!"

Madam Gu glanced at him and said, "I can tell you're inexperienced. He can do this without even getting up! Besides, I've already asked the imperial physician. Your cousin can stay with his offspring in this situation. When the time comes, ask the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription for aphrodisiacs. It will work in one go!"

When Gu Qianhan heard that she had already made a plan, it was obvious that she had not come up with this idea today. It was just that she happened to meet a candidate that her mother was very satisfied with, so the plan was ready to be launched.

He didn't say anything else, but a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.

If his mother really wanted to snatch Shen Wantang away to give birth to Pei Linan's child, then he wouldn't mind sending his cousin to the west first!

Let’s see who is faster at robbing people or him killing people!

When Mrs. Gu saw that her son stopped talking, she thought he agreed with her idea, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that my nephew's marriage is in sight, it's time to worry about my son's marriage.

"Qianhan, I heard from An Ning that you actually have a girl you like? Who is she from? Have I ever seen her?"

"No, she was just talking nonsense."

"Your sister is not the kind of person who talks nonsense. If she says you have it, then you definitely have it. Come, tell me, what kind of girl do you like? But she is from a low-class family, and you are afraid that I will not agree, so you didn't tell me?"

"I've said it before, no, mother, don't imagine it. If there really was, I wouldn't have snatched Xiao Qingyuan's concubine and maid."

"What if you were just trying to steal Xiao Qingyuan's concubine and maid? I don't think you really like that maid!"

Gu Qianhan looked indifferent, but his heart was slightly moved. His mother was worthy of being the wife of the Duke's Mansion. She was knowledgeable and insightful, and she immediately saw through that his kidnapping was just a cover.

When dealing with such people, you can't be too true or too false in your words.

He said half-truthfully, "Of course I don't like that maid. I just don't like Xiao Qingyuan. I want to steal his favorite woman to anger him. It would be great if I could get her. I'll have more maids to serve me. If I can't get her, I won't lose anything."

Mrs. Gu looked at her son's face and observed it carefully for a long time, but she was unable to discern his true thoughts.

She had never had such difficulty talking to her eldest son and daughter, but she could never figure out her second son.

She could only give up thinking about it and said, "The Duke's Mansion doesn't need you to support the family. Your wife will not be the mistress of the Gu family in the future and will not be in charge of the household expenses. So you don't have to marry a girl from a high-class family like your elder brother did. You just need to pick someone you like. As long as her family background is clean and her origin is not too outrageous, I will agree to it."

Gu Qianhan was unmoved: "I don't like anyone!"

-

Prince Ning's Mansion.

Ever since Madam Gu left, Princess Ning has been scolding Xiao Qingyuan.

In the past, Xiao Qingyuan would always talk back to her and say a lot of outrageous things, which would make her very angry.

He was surprisingly quiet today. While listening to Princess Ning scolding him, he glanced at Shen Wantang from time to time, his eyes full of inquiry.

His mother said how good Shen Wantang was, but he didn't feel much. Shen Wantang was indeed a good housekeeper, but as for everything else, he felt it was just so-so.

But even Mrs. Gu said that Shen Wantang was good, so she must be really outstanding. After all, Mrs. Gu had never seen her manage the household. What she saw was only how Shen Wantang treated people.

Princess Ning scolded for half an hour, and finally got tired of scolding. She asked with a dry mouth: "Qingyuan, do you know you are wrong? Will you say things like divorce me again in the future?"

After Xiao Qingyuan calmed down, he regretted it a long time ago: "Let's not talk about it anymore. I was just impulsive. Shen Wantang said he wanted to sell Huayi, which was too disrespectful to me, so I said I wanted to divorce my wife, but I was just talking, I didn't really think about it."

Even if he had really thought about it, he didn't want to think about it now. Even if he didn't know what was good for him, he knew he couldn't let go of the person that even Madam Gu wanted to snatch away.

Seeing him give in, Princess Ning was relieved: "Think twice before you speak or act in the future, otherwise you will only make outsiders laugh at you. Don't you think there are enough jokes about our family?"

"Yes, mother, I understand."

Xiao Qingyuan answered absentmindedly. He was still looking at Shen Wantang. She looked very unhappy. He didn't know whether she was angry with him or sad.

But he remembered that she had told him last night that she liked him, and he lifted her "veil", which made her so happy that she insisted on consummating the marriage with him.

She was a little scary last night, but now she was a little pitiful - he once again threatened to divorce her in public, making her feel completely embarrassed.

The first time, without Princess Ning saying anything, he took the initiative to step forward and apologize to her.

But as soon as he opened his mouth to call out her name, a maid came in hurriedly to report: "Princess, Crown Prince's Consort, the doctor said that Huayi is pregnant!"
