Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

If it were Gu Qianhan, the waiter would not dare to say these words. Moreover, pretending to be pitiful is useless to the cold-blooded Gu Qianhan. He would not fall for it and does not understand what compassion is at all!

But Xiao Qingyuan is different. He is famous for being hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, and a common victim.

Sure enough, after the waiter had been beating his pants for a while, Xiao Qingyuan gritted his teeth and gave him ten taels of silver: "Take it!"

The waiter was full of joy: "Thank you, my Lord. You are indeed generous and magnanimous, kind and generous, completely different from the cold-blooded Second Master Gu!"

Yuan Zheng, who was standing by, was speechless when he saw Xiao Qingyuan's expression: "Qingyuan, it was Gu Qianhan who overturned the table, why did you pay for him? You can't earn money--"

Before he finished saying the word "易", Xiao Qingyuan glared at him and said, "I'm not paying for Gu Qianhan. I just think it's not easy for this waiter, so I'm giving him the money! I have plenty of money, so what's wrong with giving him a small reward of twenty taels? Do you need to remind me?"

Yuan Zheng immediately shut his mouth and said nothing.

It's a shame to save face. Others say Xiao Qingyuan is a sucker, and they are absolutely right!

She's obviously short of money, yet she always asks him to borrow money, and she likes to pretend to be rich in front of outsiders!

He now had only fifty taels of silver on him, which was just given to Chu Yanluo by the Divine Dan Hall. He was keeping it for Chu Yanluo temporarily, but he didn't expect to give out ten taels so soon.

Gu Qianhan is much richer than him. When he was teasing Chu Yanluo before, he took one thousand taels of gold without hesitation. However, he spends what he should spend and saves what he should save when he is outside. It is impossible for others to cheat him out of even a tael of silver.

He overturned the table but didn't pay the money. With his intelligence and scheming, he must have calculated that Xiao Qingyuan would be embarrassed in front of so many people and would pay the money for him.

For a moment, Yuan Zheng even wanted to change camp.

Is it too late for him to switch sides and run to Gu Qianhan's camp now?

Chu Yanluo, who was standing behind Xiao Qingyuan, saw Xiao Qingyuan give out ten taels at once, and her expression changed in pain.

But she saw Yuan Zheng getting choked when he tried to dissuade Xiao Qingyuan, so how could she dare to persuade him?

She could only force a smile while her heart was bleeding: "Yes, it's just ten taels of silver, just a small amount of money that the prince would give to others. The prince has always been generous and doesn't care about gold and silver."

The money had already been given, so she had to speak nicely. So many people were watching her, and if she showed even the slightest bit of heartache, she would be looked down upon, and even Xiao Qingyuan would look down on her.

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Xiao Qingyuan nodded at her and said, "Yanluo is right. I really don't care about gold and silver. I did disturb everyone's tea and meal today. I didn't expect Gu Qianhan to overturn the table. He is becoming more and more outrageous. Don't take it to heart. Eat and drink as you please."

After he said this, the diners around him immediately changed their impression of him.

Others praised him: "Your Highness is generous and righteous. I admire you!"

"The Crown Prince is much more humane than that Second Young Master Gu. No wonder all the ladies in the capital like the Crown Prince and not Second Young Master Gu. That Second Young Master Gu has such a good-looking face for nothing!"

"That's right, even though Second Master Gu is as handsome as Pan An and has great talent, what's the use? With his bad temper, he can never get a wife!"

"Yes, I heard that the Liu family was originally planning a marriage with the Gu family, but then Miss Liu looked down on the second young master Gu, so the marriage fell through! The second young master Gu was so upset that he didn't eat for three days and three nights!"

"Tsk, what's that? I heard that the Xin family case a few years ago was not solved by Gu Qianhan at all. It was solved by Miss Liu, but Gu Qianhan took the credit!"

"What? There is such a thing?! Isn't Mr. Gu a famous genius? He can't even solve the case? He has to rely on Miss Liu?"

"It can't be wrong! Miss Liu admitted it herself. She was the one who solved the case! Don't forget, Miss Liu is the daughter of the Lord, and the most talented woman in Dafeng!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Miss Liu is both talented and beautiful, so it's not surprising that she can solve the case. But it was Second Master Gu who solved the case with the help of Miss Liu and even said that he found the clues himself. How shameless!"

Everyone was talking about it, and the topic soon turned to the talented woman Liu Nanshi.

Xiao Qingyuan had tea poured all over his head and body by Gu Qianhan, and he didn't want to stay in the restaurant any longer. Anyway, he took the opportunity to dirty Gu Qianhan today, which was considered a bit of revenge.

He took Chu Yanluo into the carriage and was wiping his head and face with a handkerchief when he saw Yuan Zheng lift the curtain and sit in.

"Qingyuan, we can't just let Gu Qianhan go like this! We have to teach him a lesson!"

When mentioning Gu Qianhan, Xiao Qingyuan gnashed his teeth in hatred: "Of course I won't let Gu Qianhan go, but the problem is that he is too scheming and defensive, and we can't find a chance to take action!"

"Qingyuan, have you forgotten the method I told you?"

"You mean, taking advantage of Miss Liu?"

"Yup!"

"No, we can't use Miss Liu! She is both talented and beautiful, and she is gentle and kind. We can't harm her!"

Yuan Zheng was in a dilemma: "I've already told you that she's not a good person, why don't you believe me?"

"Qingyuan, listen to me. Bringing Gu Qianhan and Liu Nanshi together will definitely solve your biggest worry! Don't be soft-hearted at this time!"

"As long as Gu Qianhan and Liu Nanshi get married, he won't have the energy to pick a fight with you anymore. Just dealing with Liu Nanshi will be enough to make him suffer!"

Xiao Qingyuan still shook his head: "You don't have to say anything more. I won't harm Miss Liu. Don't have this idea anymore. If you want Gu Qianhan to get married and let his wife control him, you can find someone else, a female demon, or someone with a very bad character."

Yuan Zheng scratched his head anxiously: "No! No matter who you replace, it won't work! Other women are not scheming enough, they will only be played around by Gu Qianhan and can't control him at all! Only Liu Nanshi is scheming and vicious enough, so there is hope for her to control Gu Qianhan!"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned cold: "Yuan Zheng, why do you have to target Miss Liu? She has offended you, so you deliberately want to retaliate against her?"

"She has never offended me. I just simply think that she is sinister and vicious enough to make Gu Qianhan's life miserable in the future!"

"Yuan Zheng, you have a huge misunderstanding of Miss Liu. She is obviously a very gentle and beautiful person."

"Qingyuan, it's not that I misunderstood her too deeply, it's that you don't know her well enough!"

"No, I know Nan Shi very well now. After we met at Fazhen Temple last time, she went to Prince Ning's Mansion the next day. I talked to her a lot."

Yuan Zheng was stunned: "What? She has been to your palace? Why did she go there? Why didn't you tell me?!"
