Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Seeing Xiao Qingyuan's bad face, Yuan Zheng couldn't help but glared at Gu Qianhan: "You think it's not chaotic enough, right? Stop trying to sow discord. The prince and I have wives after all. What about you? Do you have one? Go home quickly. You are alone, and you still have the nerve to lecture me here?"

After choking Gu Qianhan, Yuan Zheng quickly apologized to Xiao Qingyuan: "Don't listen to Gu's weird words, my lord. He doesn't hope for the best for us, but I sincerely hope for the best for you. You hate your wife, and she is not someone who can live a good life, so I told you to be tough and take back all the silver."

"Your Highness has also seen it. My wife treats me very well. Whenever I go out for a drink, she always takes the initiative to give me money."

"What's more, my wife is the daughter of the Minister of Rites. My father-in-law dotes on her. If she really wants a divorce, my father-in-law would probably agree without any hesitation! How can I give her an excuse or a chance to divorce, don't you think?"

Xiao Qingyuan said with a dark face: "So, you yourself are unwilling to divorce, but you want me to divorce my wife?"

"Oh, why do you say that, my Lord? I never said that! I just asked you to set the rules, but I didn't ask you to divorce your wife or get a divorce. I would rather destroy a temple than break up a marriage. How could I do such a wicked thing!"

Gu Qianhan sneered: "Have you done enough immoral things? After getting married, you pretend to be a human being."

Yuan Zheng looked at him angrily: "If you say less, no one will think you are dumb! You are the only one who talks too much every day! It's so annoying!"

"Tsk, you're anxious. It looks like I hit you in a sore spot."

"you!!"

Yuan Zheng was so angry that his temples were throbbing with pain. It took him a while to suppress his anger and pretend to be calm and nonchalant: "Hmph, Gu Qianhan, you are talking so much today, you must be jealous of me!"

"I'm jealous of you? What do you envy? Envy of your ugliness, or envy of your poor education, or envy of your wife scolding you like a dog?"

Yuan Zheng gnashed his teeth and said, "Of course you are jealous that I married a good wife! My wife is the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Cheng. Cheng is only forty years old and already a minister. It's not long before he can enter the cabinet and become a cabinet elder! As for you, the Liu family doesn't like you at all, and the marriage is off!"

This time, Gu Qianhan didn't say anything.

Of course, he knew the real reason why Yuan Zheng proposed to Cheng Zhiyue, and he also knew why Yuan Zheng was controlled by Cheng Zhiyue. It was all because Cheng Zhiyue had a father who was the Minister of Personnel.

The Minister of Personnel Cheng Yunda was a favorite of the emperor. He had been with the emperor since he was still a crown prince. The selection of officials in the court had to be approved by Cheng Yunda.

Yuan Zheng married Cheng Zhiyue, which was a step above his station.

If Cheng Zhiyue had not been so determined to marry the prince that she had delayed it until now and was too old, it would never have been Yuan Zheng's turn to propose to her.

Even though Cheng Zhiyue is three years older than Yuan Zheng, Yuan Zheng still does not have the confidence in front of her - the title of Wen Bo Mansion was gone in his generation.

But in the capital, money alone is not enough. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are at the bottom.

Yuan Zheng looks unremarkable, but he is smarter than anyone else. When choosing a wife, he first considers the woman's family background. As for her age, appearance, and figure, he doesn't care at all.

Cheng Zhiyue's appearance was just a little ordinary, but she was not ugly, so Yuan Zheng naturally respected her as the wife he would spend his life with, so he didn't care at all when he was pulled by the ears and scolded.

Maybe he even enjoyed it, otherwise he wouldn't be so obedient to kneel down and let Cheng Zhiyue touch his head.

Damn it! Yuan Zheng actually got a wife that suits his taste!

Seeing that the eloquent Gu Qianhan was silent, Yuan Zheng finally felt a little happy: "What's wrong, Second Young Master Gu, you have nothing to say, right? You are really jealous that I married a good wife, hahahaha!"

"Hey, tell me the truth, are you also jealous that Qingyuan has a wife? Otherwise, why do you always dislike him? You weren't like this before!"

Xiao Qingyuan added: "He's not jealous that I have a wife, he's jealous that I have a woman!"

Gu Qianhan raised his head indifferently: "You two, one is being trained like a dog by the Madam, and the other is being controlled by the Madam inside and out, and can't even take out a penny, what on earth is there to be jealous of? I am free and easy by myself, isn't it better than you who are married?"

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out: "Waiter, my pot of tea is on Yuan Zheng's head. He is not short of money."

Yuan Zheng yelled from behind: "Gu Qianhan, come back and settle the bill! I'm not a sucker!"

"I am happy to let my wife take charge of everything, what's your business? My wife is the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, she is very capable, you must be jealous!"

"I just don't believe that after you get married, you will have the final say at home! Maybe, you are not as good as Qingyuan and I!"

Jixiang followed behind Gu Qianhan. When he heard Yuan Zheng's words, he couldn't help but glance at his own master with a strange expression on his face.

You know what, even though Yuan Zheng is a playboy, he’s pretty good at judging people!

If the Second Young Master could really take Shen Wantang home to be his wife, he would probably be willing to be scolded every day.

As for the gold and silver in the house...he hadn't even snatched Shen Wantang away yet, but he was already desperately giving gold to others.

Xiao Qingyuan patted Yuan Zheng on the shoulder and said, "That's enough. He's gone. You're just wasting your energy by shouting at the top of your lungs."

Yuan Zheng said angrily, "No, I can't let Gu Qianhan live so comfortably. Prince, let's work together to find him a powerful wife so that he can suffer a little. What do you think?"

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "You know what, this is a good idea, but the problem is, if we find him a girl, will he marry her? You don't know, he is obsessed with the daughter of Liu Ge's old family. If this marriage doesn't work out, he has been taking revenge on me!"

Yuan Zheng was surprised: "It shouldn't be like this. I know that the Duke's Mansion wants to form an alliance with the Liu family, but hasn't Gu Qianhan always been lukewarm towards Liu Nanshi? He likes Liu Nanshi? How come I don't know?"

"He is very scheming. Even if he likes Liu Nanshi, he won't show it. But he admitted that he wanted to take revenge on me because I ruined his marriage. Do you think he likes Liu Nanshi?"

Yuan Zheng touched his ear and said, "Is that so? Since he likes Liu Nanshi, why don't we help him?"

"Help him? Wouldn't that be giving him an easy deal?"

"Oh, Qingyuan, this is what you don't understand. You haven't met Liu Nanshi much, right? You don't know her personality, right?"

"Well, I've only seen her from a distance a few times. I'm not familiar with her. What's wrong with her personality?"

Yuan Zheng laughed mysteriously: "It's more than just a problem. That problem is huge! If Gu Qianhan could really marry her, she would definitely control him all his life. He wouldn't be able to be free and easy anymore!"

Xiao Qingyuan's curiosity was aroused: "What's wrong with Liu Nanshi?"
