Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

"Yuan Zheng, you can shout a little louder to lure everyone out of the meditation room."

Gu Qianhan flew down from the courtyard wall and said in a mocking tone, "I want to see how you two idiots explain sneaking into the female guest's backyard."

As soon as he finished speaking, people came out from the several meditation rooms connected side by side to check.

Those who could drink tea and rest in the independent Zen room were all women of the noble families in the capital. When the ladies and young ladies saw Xiao Qingyuan and the other two, they all showed surprise on their faces, but no one spoke to them.

After all, the reputations of the three of them nowadays are worse than each other.

Only Liu Nanshi was there. She stepped forward and greeted them in a familiar tone: "Qianhan, Prince, Master Yuan, why are you here? Are you looking for someone? Do you need my help?"

She gave them a perfect excuse. Just as Xiao Qingyuan and Yuan Zheng were about to nod, they heard Gu Qianhan say, "Miss Liu really guessed it right. They are here to look for someone, and the person they are looking for is you."

Liu Nanshi was surprised: "Looking for me? I wonder why the prince wants to see me?"

Xiao Qingyuan was held there, and could only bite the bullet and say: "It's nothing, but I've always heard that Miss Liu is smart, so I want to ask you for help... to help solve the case."

“It turns out it’s to solve the case.”

Liu Nanshi showed a gentle smile on her face: "How did the prince know that I could solve the case? But Qianhan told you? Why did he tell everything to others?"

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "Ah? Gu Qianhan?"

Gu Qianhan knew that Liu Nanshi could solve the case? No, no, no, that's not right. Liu Nanshi could solve the case? He had never heard Gu Qianhan mention it before. He was just desperate and made up a reason!

"Your Highness, you don't have to cover up for Qianhan. He is the only one who knows that I can solve the case. I believe he has already told you that the Xin family murder case was solved years ago. It was also the clue I helped Qianhan find. That's why you came to me, right?"

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "What did you say? You found the clues to the Xin family case?!"

Liu Nanshi nodded: "It's me."

Xiao Qingyuan was shocked and angry. Damn Shen Mingxuan, didn't she say that it was Shen Wantang who helped Gu Qianhan find the clue? ! It turned out that Shen Mingxuan didn't tell him a single truth and was lying to him!

The other ladies also exclaimed in amazement.

"What?! It turns out that Gu Qianhan solved the Xin family's case thanks to Liu Nanshi!"

"Miss Liu is so amazing. In the Xin family case, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple were helpless, but she was able to find clues and solve the case!"

"Ms. Liu is worthy of being the most talented woman in Dafeng. Her intelligence is admirable!"

"Miss Liu really deserves the title, but Mr. Gu is probably just a name in vain. He can't even find the clues to solve the case, and he still has to rely on Miss Liu. What kind of genius is he!"

"Hey, have you heard? Gu Qianhan has been competing with Xiao Shizi for a maid. His mind has long been crooked and he is obsessed with women. How can he have the energy to solve the case?"

"The three of them are indeed birds of a feather. I was saying that anyone who can hang out with someone like Yuan Zheng can't be a good person! What a waste of a good-looking person!"

The discussion was not loud, but Gu Qianhan's hearing was sharper than that of ordinary people, and he heard it all clearly.

However, he didn't care what others said about him. He only cared that Shen Wantang's credit was taken away.

He did not look at Liu Nanshi who was trying to steal the credit. Having known her for many years, he already knew her character and intentions. He was not surprised by what happened today.

He didn't even look at the shocked Xiao Qingyuan. Anyway, Xiao Qingyuan had never been smart. He believed whatever others said and had no ability to distinguish.

His gaze passed through the silhouettes among the flowers and willows and fell on Shen Wantang's face.

Shen Wantang and Gu Qianning were standing at the back of the crowd. When she saw Gu Qianhan looking at her, she shook her head slightly at him, indicating that he didn't need to explain.

Gu Qianhan understood what she meant and looked away, no longer looking at her to avoid revealing any flaws.

The two of them were communicating silently, but Gu Qianning on the side was unaware of it. She said angrily, "Atang, she stole your credit! She is so shameless! Why did my second brother just stand there like a fool and listen to Liu Nanshi's lies and nonsense? Why didn't he explain for you? Let's go and expose her!"

Shen Wantang reached out and stopped Gu Qianning who was about to step forward to argue: "No need to expose it, your second brother didn't explain, and I nodded my head."

Gu Qianning didn't understand: "Why? Don't you want to take back the credit that belongs to you? You just watched Liu Nanshi steal your credit, steal the limelight in front of everyone, and receive a lot of praise? Aren't you angry?"

Shen Wantang smiled at her faintly: "My credit is not that easy to take. Although I really don't like to be in the limelight and don't need any credit, but what's mine is mine. If someone wants to steal it, they will have to bear the corresponding price."

Gu Qianning's eyes lit up: "Have you figured out how to deal with this thief who stole your credit?"

"I'm afraid I don't even need to deal with her. If I give her another case to solve, her true colors will be exposed."

"Ah? Case? Has any major case happened in the capital recently?"

"There is never a shortage of cases in the capital, don't worry."

"But what if she can really solve the next case?"

Shen Wantang chuckled: "No, she can't break it."

Gu Qianning was puzzled: "How can you be so sure? Do you know Liu Nanshi well?"

Shen Wantang shook her head. She didn’t understand Liu Nanshi.

However, she knew about the next big case. After all, she was the one who solved that case.

As luck would have it, this case is related to the Liu family.

If Liu Nanshi could solve the case, then why did it fall to her, Shen Wantang, an outsider, to solve the case in her previous life?

Shen Wantang's mind flashed with events from his previous life. His eyes fell on Liu Nanshi and he felt something strange.

In the Xin family case, outsiders certainly had no way of knowing that the clue was found by her. Everyone thought that the clue was discovered by Gu Qianhan, so the credit naturally went to Gu Qianhan.

But Liu Nanshi dared to snatch the credit from him in front of Gu Qianhan. Wasn’t she afraid of being exposed by Gu Qianhan in person?

Or was she sure that Gu Qianhan would never expose her, and the two of them had always had this tacit understanding?

Shen Wantang's gaze shifted from Liu Nanshi's face to Gu Qianhan's face.

She looked at him for a long moment, but saw nothing.

She believed that she could see through people's hearts and easily see through other people's weaknesses, but she couldn't see through Gu Qianhan.

Since she couldn't see through it, she stopped looking. One of her great advantages was that she never became overly obsessed with a certain person or a certain thing.

Shen Wantang pulled Gu Qianning and said, "Come on, An Ning, let's go back to the meditation room. The Ruyi Lily Roll that the temple sent us should be cold."
