Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Liu Nanshi listened to everyone's discussions and her expression became so ugly that it could not be described.

It was the first time for her to lose face in front of so many people!

She could never let this account go like this!

She immediately chased after him with her maids and nannies.

On the other side, Shen Wantang and Gu Qianning had already walked to the carriage of the Duke's Mansion.

Gu Qianning exclaimed happily: "Atang, I thought you couldn't curse, but I didn't expect that you not only could, but also cursed to the point! Did you see that, Liu Nanshi's face turned green!"

Shen Wantang smiled helplessly: "I don't want to scold her in front of so many people, but she insists on being scolded, so I can only oblige her."

"Humph, Liu Nanshi thought that you didn't dare to confront her in public, and she didn't expect that you would dare to scold her, so she was fearless."

Gu Qianning had been holding a lot of secrets in her heart, but no one had told them before. Now she finally had someone to talk to, and she told them everything about Liu Nanshi.

"You don't know, she used to like to manipulate others like this. She likes everyone to revolve around her. If there is anyone who doesn't play with her, she will isolate them!"

"She would use her status and position to suppress those whose family background is worse than hers, and even complain to Elder Liu, asking him to suppress the father of others!"

"She doesn't dare to discredit people whose family background is stronger than hers, so she spreads some ambiguous rumors behind their backs, either slandering their character or spreading rumors that they are having affairs with other men. She even slandered Prince Xiao's sister!"

"It's not just like this among women, but also among men. She wants everyone to like her! Even if someone doesn't like her, she will do everything she can to suppress the rumors!"

"But she pretends to be so nice in front of the elders, gentle and virtuous, sensible and reasonable. She is also known as the most talented woman in Dafeng. She is simply the best daughter-in-law candidate in the eyes of all the mothers-in-law in the capital! Even my mother was deceived by her and insisted that my second brother marry her!"

Shen Wantang was shocked when she heard this. She had never met Liu Nanshi in her previous life and really didn't know that she was like this. Her reputation had always been good.

And it was indeed as Gu Qianning said, Liu Nanshi was the most suitable daughter-in-law in the eyes of countless noble ladies. After her marriage to Gu Qianhan failed in her previous life, many noble ladies had asked for Liu Nanshi in marriage for their sons, and the matchmakers who went to propose marriage almost broke down the threshold of the Liu family.

If the Gu family had not been so powerful, Gu Qianning would have been chosen as the Crown Princess, and Liu Nanshi would have had a great chance of snatching the position of Crown Princess away from her, because the Emperor had shown his love and appreciation for Liu Nanshi more than once.

Shen Wantang sighed slightly, and patted Gu Qianning's hand: "A Ning, it's hard for you. When your two families were discussing marriage, you must have endured her scheming and hypocrisy a lot. It's not easy for you to endure it until now."

Gu Qianning hugged her with emotion: "Oh my God, finally someone understands me!"

"Atang, you don't know, I told my mother before that Liu Nanshi was not good, but my mother didn't believe it!"

"And my stupid second brother, when I told him that Liu Nanshi was scheming, he actually said that it was normal to be scheming!"

"Tell me, is there something wrong with my second brother? If you don't know, you would think he likes Liu Nanshi!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold voice came from behind her: "Gu Qianning, who do you say is wrong?"

Gu Qianning froze. She let go of Shen Wantang and turned back awkwardly: "Second brother, when did you come here? Why is there no movement at all?"

"Which eye of yours saw that I like Liu Nanshi?"

"Um... I didn't say you like Liu Nanshi. What I said was that if someone didn't know, they would think you like Liu Nanshi!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pull out your tongue!"

Gu Qianning covered her mouth with her hands. She turned around and complained to Shen Wantang: "Ah Tang, look at my second brother. He wants to pull out my tongue! He's so scary. I'm going to have nightmares tonight!"

Shen Wantang raised his head and looked at Gu Qianhan: "Second Young Master, please don't scare An Ning. She is your sister, you should cherish and protect her."

Really, Gu Qianning lost her life in her previous life, and now she is back in this life, why doesn’t Gu Qianhan know how to pamper her a little? He is still as cold and heartless as ever!

"The Crown Princess is right. I should take better care of An Ning."

Gu Qianhan followed suit, his cold face became gentle, he waved towards Gu Qianning: "A Ning, come here, I have a gift for you."

Gu Qianning became very alert. Not only did she not go over, but she hid behind Shen Wantang: "Gu Qianhan, are you so kind? I'm afraid that giving me a gift is just a cover. As soon as I go over, you will break my neck and pull out my tongue!"

Gu Qianhan took a step forward: "Come here, don't make me say it for the third time."

He was tall and had long legs. He had a fierce aura and a strong sense of oppression. Not to mention Gu Qianning who had always been a little afraid of him, even Shen Wantang found it a little difficult to cope with. She unconsciously followed Gu Qianning and took a step back.

But there was a carriage behind them, and there was no room left if they went any further.

Gu Qianhan took another step closer, stretched out his hand, reached over Shen Wantang's shoulder, and pulled Gu Qianning out.

Gu Qianning felt that a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he immediately lowered his head and said, "Second brother, I was wrong. I will never dare to speak nonsense again. You don't like Liu Nanshi, I know it!"

She turned to look at Shen Wantang: "Ah Tang, my second brother doesn't like Liu Nanshi, really, it's truer than real gold!"

Shen Wantang looked puzzled. Gu Qianhan didn't like Liu Nanshi, so why did Gu Qianning tell her that?

But under the pressure from Gu Qianhan, she could only nod: "Yes, I know."

Gu Qianning breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up at Gu Qianhan and said, "Second brother, look, I have cleared your name. Can you let me go?"

Gu Qianhan said calmly, "When did I say I wouldn't let you go?"

"But you just-"

"What I just said is, I'm giving you a gift."

Gu Qianhan said this and took out two strings of Buddhist beads.

When Gu Qianning saw that they were two bracelets, she immediately glared at Gu Qianhan fiercely.

This was not a gift for her at all. It was clearly a gift for Shen Wantang. However, he could not give it openly, so he had to reluctantly give it to her, his own sister. This way, Shen Wantang would not suspect that he had ulterior motives.

If it were in the past, she would have taken the two bracelets, given one to Shen Wantang and worn one herself.

But Gu Qianhan had just frightened her, and she held a grudge, so she deliberately took only one string: "This Buddhist bead looks very special, second brother, you put a lot of thought into it, I accept the gift, thank you very much!"

Now it was Gu Qianhan's turn to glare at her. He only took one string? How was he going to give the other string to Shen Wantang?

The brother and sister were staring at each other when a gentle voice came: "Qianhan, you bought two bracelets specially, one is for me, right?"
