Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Madam Chai stepped forward and said, "Miss Liu, please come in."

Liu Nanshi was not willing to leave. She didn't come here to listen to Shen Wantang scolding her.

She looked at Xiao Qingyuan, her eyes red and her voice trembling: "Prince, I really didn't expect to be treated so rudely when I came to your palace. I was very polite and brought you gifts, but your prince's wife scolded me like this. Aren't you going to say something?"

Seeing that she seemed to be about to cry, Xiao Qingyuan hurriedly apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Nanshi, don't be angry, I'll ask her to apologize to you right away!"

"Shen Wantang, how can you be so rude to Nan Shi! You apologize to her right now, or I will, I will--"

He was stuck and couldn't say the following words.

But Shen Wantang knew what he was going to say. He wanted to divorce her.

But perhaps he himself realized that it was inappropriate to say this every day. He had said it too many times and it no longer had any deterrent effect.

Xiao Qingyuan didn't say anything more, but Xiao Qingxi finally found an opportunity to interrupt and immediately spoke for him: "Otherwise my brother will divorce you, and you have to get out of our Prince Ning's Mansion!"

Shen Wantang suddenly smiled. She sat on the armchair and drank tea leisurely while saying, "Just because I didn't apologize to Miss Liu, the princess and the prince are going to divorce me?"

"Why, Miss Liu and the prince have progressed to such an inseparable level? When did this start? How come I didn't know about it?"

"Do people outside already know about this? If not, do you need me to spread the word for you?"

"I wonder how Miss Liu's reputation will be ruined if outsiders find out that the prince divorced me because of Miss Liu. I'm really looking forward to it!"

The three people standing opposite her all changed their expressions!

Especially Liu Nanshi, her gentle mask had cracks and her eyes became gloomy when she looked at Shen Wantang.

This was the first time she encountered such a difficult situation, and also the first time she met such a skilled opponent. What she cared about most was her own reputation, but Shen Wantang wanted to ruin her reputation!

The most crucial thing is that Xiao Qingyuan and Xiao Qingxi are both very unreliable. If they go out and say some nonsense, people outside will really believe that Xiao Qingyuan wants to divorce Shen Wantang for her. Then she will become the biggest laughing stock in the capital!

Xiao Qingyuan's reputation as a great villain resounded throughout Dafeng. For the sake of a woman who was pregnant with a bastard's child, he became a monk. This feat was known to everyone in the capital, and even three-year-old children on the street would mock him behind his back.

None of the more respectable noble families in the capital were willing to marry their daughter to Xiao Qingyuan, otherwise it would never have been the turn of Shen Wantang, the daughter of a fifth-rank official and a concubine at that.

Liu Nanshi finally realized that coming to Prince Ning’s Mansion to provoke today was a mistake!

She really underestimated Shen Wantang!

Liu Nanshi clenched her hands tightly and said stiffly, "Please, my lord and princess, just pretend that I have not been here today. Please also, my lord, please stay in harmony with the princess and never leave her. Otherwise, Nanshi will not be able to bear the false accusation! I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave now."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away, as if she was afraid that if she walked too slowly she would be implicated by Xiao Qingyuan and Xiao Qingxi. She couldn't explain herself clearly even if she wanted to.

Xiao Qingyuan hurriedly called out to her, "Nanshi, don't leave yet! Shen Wantang hasn't apologized to you yet, come back soon!"

But the more he shouted, the faster Liu Nanshi walked. In the end, she almost lost the demeanor of a minister's daughter and trotted away.

If she punishes Shen Wantang and asks her to apologize, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, but if her reputation is ruined, then everything will be over!

"Shen Wantang, it's all your fault! You pissed Nan Shi off!"

Xiao Qingyuan said in a bad tone: "Are you jealous again? I just got a little closer to Nan Shi, and you got jealous! You maliciously slandered Nan Shi!"

"I'll say it again, I don't like you! No matter who I like in this life, I will never like you. Even if you drive away all the women around me, I will never fall in love with you. Just give up on this idea!"

Shen Wantang raised an eyebrow: "The prince will never like me?"

"Yes! Forever!"

Shen Wantang nodded: "Yeah, it's okay."

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "What did you say?!"

"Oh, I mean, this is not good. I am the Crown Prince's consort. If you only like others and not me, I will feel unbalanced. Once I feel unbalanced, I will want to drive those women away."

Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "You like me so much? I'm not good to you, what do you like about me? Can't you like someone else?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, my prince? If I like someone else, wouldn't you be cuckolded? Do you still have this habit?"

"Don't say such harsh words. What do you mean by green hat? What I mean is that if you have someone you like, I will let you leave the palace and we won't have to torture each other. Isn't that good?"

"I like Prince Ning's Mansion very much. I don't think that the prince and I are torturing each other."

"You--why can't I explain this to you?"

Xiao Qingxi interrupted at this time and said, "Brother, don't tell her. She lives so well in our palace, how could she bear to leave! She is just after wealth and glory, not because she likes you. Don't be fooled by her!"

"This... Qingxi, what you said is biased. Shen Wantang does like wealth and glory, but she also really likes me. You don't understand, but I can feel it."

Xiao Qingxi stamped her feet in anger: "You are wrong! If she really likes you, there is no way she would tolerate you having concubines and maids!"

"Qingxi, you can't be stingy and think that others are as stingy as you. Shen Wantang does have a generous heart."

"How can she be so generous? She just drove Liu Nanshi away because she was jealous of her!"

"She just likes me too much."

Xiao Qingxi: “…”

She felt that Xiao Qingyuan was mentally ill. She was too lazy to talk to him anymore and shouted at Shen Wantang, "Liu Nanshi brought gifts for me and my brother. Where are the gifts? Did you keep them all?!"

Shen Wantang suddenly realized: "So you came to me for a gift."

"What else?! Do you think I would be willing to come to your shabby yard? Do you think my brother would be willing to come and see you?"

"Who told you that your gifts are with me? Did Liu Nanshi tell you?"

"Don't worry about who said it, take out our gifts immediately! You dare to steal my things, you must be crazy because of poverty! I will count to three. If you don't take out the gifts, I will smash everything in your Wutong Garden!"

"Then go ahead and destroy it. Anyway, the things in my yard were all purchased with the public funds of the palace. I didn't spend any money myself. If you destroy them all, I can just replace them with new ones. I will also have to thank the princess!"
