Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chu Yanluo's angry curse did not stir up any ripples in Shen Wantang's heart.

Clean up the painting?

She will clean it up, why rush?

They come one by one. Chu Yanluo has already dealt with them. How far will the rest be?

Shen Wantang didn't respond, but Madam Chai's expression changed: "Hurry up and shut her mouth!"

The old woman who was escorting her quickly took out her sweat towel, stuffed it into Chu Yanluo's mouth to stop her from shouting and cursing, and took her away.

The room fell silent. Shen Wantang gently stroked the new emerald jade bracelet on her wrist, thinking to herself, the Duke's Mansion is truly wealthy enough to rival a country. The thank-you gift that Madam Gu casually gave her turned out to be a top-grade jade bracelet.

Her tone was still nonchalant: "Madam Chai, I heard that Madam Chu was full of energy. I think her health has improved a lot. What do you think?"

Madam Chai bowed her head respectfully and said, "What the Crown Princess said is true. Aunt Chu is now in good health."

"In that case, let's ask her to go to the side hall of the ancestral hall and kneel down to copy scriptures. Firstly, it will help her cultivate her character and stop her from talking nonsense. Secondly, it can also be regarded as a way to pray for the ancestors and elders."

"The Crown Prince's wife's arrangement is very good. I will do it right away."

Shen Wantang nodded and waved her hand to let her go.

A moment later, Madam Chai came back to report, "Princess, Aunt Chu has been taken to the side hall of the ancestral hall. Two maids are taking turns to watch over her. She has been copying scriptures obediently."

Of course, things were not as simple and smooth as she said. With Chu Yanluo's personality, how could she be willing to kneel in the cold side hall and copy scriptures?

Naturally, she suffered a lot before she picked up the pen.

However, there is no need to report these. As long as things are done, it's fine.

Naturally, Shen Wantang would not ask about the process, nor would she delve into the details. She only wanted the result, nothing else mattered.

Footsteps were heard outside, the curtain was lifted, and Xiao Qingyuan walked in.

"Shen Wantang."

Shen Wantang sat there without moving, not even raising her eyelids. She was still stroking the emerald green jade bracelet, as if she loved it very much.

"Shen Wantang, why didn't you respond when I called you? Are you deaf?"

"If you have a problem with me, just say so. Why do you keep touching your broken bracelet?"

"Humph, such a transparent green jade bracelet is priceless. You must have cheated my mother out of greed! Tell me, how many good things have you cheated from my mother since you came to our palace?"

After Xiao Qingyuan finished speaking, he walked up to Shen Wantang and stretched out his hand to her: "This must be another dowry from my mother! Give it to me! This thing should belong to me, I am my mother's biological son!"

Shen Wantang finally raised his eyes and looked at him: "If you like it, just go ask mother for it yourself. Are you too poor to live by stealing my things? Do you want to be a robber instead of a prince?"

"you!!"

Xiao Qingyuan was so angry at her words that he pointed at Shen Wantang angrily and said, "This is my mother's stuff. It's only natural for me to take it back! You're calling me a robber? You're just making up stories!"

"Which eye of yours saw that this was your mother's bracelet?"

"I don't need to see to know that this is my mother's dowry! How can you have such a good thing?"

"I heard that you even paid Huayi for the doctor on credit?"

The topic changed so suddenly that Xiao Qingyuan's mind went blank for a moment and he was so confused that he almost couldn't speak.

He glared at Shen Wantang fiercely and said angrily, "What does it have to do with you? Don't try to change the subject. Give me the bracelet! My mother's things are mine, and you can't wear them!"

"Look, I just asked a question casually, but the prince got anxious. What? Did I poke your self-esteem? A dog got its tail stepped on, so it jumped up and bit people randomly?"

"Shen Wantang, who are you calling a dog?!"

"I don't know. Whoever screams the loudest is the one being scolded!"

Xiao Qingyuan raised his hand angrily: "If you dare to scold me again, I will beat you up!"

Shen Wantang looked at him sarcastically: "Sir, do you think that since you beat Aunt Chu and vented your emotions, you can beat me to vent your emotions? Xiao Qingyuan, I am not Chu Yanluo. If I can still be beaten by you in my courtyard, then I don't have to be the mistress anymore!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Chai, along with four maids, Qinxin, Qiyu, Shuxiang and Dujuan, stood in front of Xiao Qingyuan.

Shen Wantang herself took out her silver needle.

A neat row of silver needles flashed the unique cold light of metal under the light. They were using the coldest light to declare the strength of their owner.

Xiao Qingyuan immediately took a step back: "What are you doing? What are you doing with the needle?! Do you want to scare me? I tell you, I'm not afraid of your needle!"

Shen Wantang stood up with the longest needle in her hand. She looked over the maids' shoulders and looked at Xiao Qingyuan: "Since you are not afraid, my lord, then come here and let me give you two injections."

Xiao Qingyuan looked at the silver needle in her hand that was half the length of his forearm, and subconsciously covered his head: "Put down your broken needle! Last time you stabbed me with this thing, it almost hurt me to death. I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you dare to take it out again!"

Moreover, it would be fine if he didn't mention this matter. Once he mentioned it, he felt a severe headache.

In a flash, he suddenly thought of a possibility!

"Shen Wantang! I've had a headache these past two days. Is it you who caused me to have a headache? Yes! It must have been you who gave me the acupuncture!"

"When did I harm the prince? Didn't the prince want to kill me? Look at my neck, the knife marks are so obvious, my head almost fell off, and I haven't even settled the score with the prince yet, but he's actually blaming me first?"

As Shen Wantang spoke, she took a step forward and the maids automatically made way for her.

When Xiao Qingyuan saw that the maids didn't block him, he was shocked!

Just now he felt that the maids were in the way and were a nuisance to him, but now he felt insecure when the maids stepped away!

He quickly took another step back: "Don't come over here! Just stand there and talk!"

"It's just a needle, why are you panicking, my Lord?"

Nonsense! How could he not panic?! Whose needle is as long as a knife?! Whose needle is as thick as a nail?!

If he gets stabbed, there will immediately be a deep hole that will bleed!

"Put down the knife... put down the needle! Aren't you tired of holding them all the time? Put them down and let's talk!"

"Your Highness is so funny. I'm just holding an embroidery needle. Why should I be so tired? That's it. Just say whatever you want to say!"

"You!! I...I thought you didn't need a bracelet anyway, so why not give me the one on your hand!"

"Oh, the prince really doesn't have the money to hire a doctor for Huayi, so he came to rob me?"

"Don't say such harsh words. I didn't rob you. I was just negotiating with you."

"This is robbery. No matter how nicely you package it, it's still robbery!"
