Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang couldn't say that Madam Gu specifically asked Pei Linan to come see her, so she could only say, "An Ning, you don't know, let alone an outsider like me. Maybe he is feeling better now, so he came out to get some fresh air!"

Gu Qianning shook her head and said, "Impossible. My cousin has had poor health since he was young. He has been to many famous doctors, but none of them said he could be cured. They all said he would not live past the age of 20. He is already 20 this year. How could he suddenly get better? This is too strange. I will ask my mother later to find out what is going on."

"Okay, let's not talk about him. How have you been lately? Have your parents-in-law and Xiao Qingyuan given you any trouble?"

"No."

"How could there not be? Prince Ning and Princess Ning may be respectable people who won't say anything harsh, but they must have criticized you overtly or covertly! And Xiao Qingyuan has never been on your side! You came here to apologize this time, they forced you to come, right?"

"It was indeed the prince who asked me to come and apologize, but I just wanted to come and see you, so I came."

"Humph, there really is no good person in this family. Xiao Qingxi caused the trouble, but you are asked to apologize and clean up her mess. How shameless!"

"They think that since you and I have a good relationship, it is more appropriate for me to come than for them. However, you can just pretend that I have never been here. You can vent your anger when you need to, and don't worry about me."

Gu Qianning was a little hesitant: "Atang, I won't hide it from you. My family is using the excuse of seeking justice for me to put pressure on the emperor so that they can take the opportunity to set a date for my wedding with the prince."

Shen Wantang was slightly stunned when he heard this. It turned out that the Duke of Zhenguo was so powerful that he could even force the Emperor.

Is Gu Qianning going to enter the palace and become the Crown Princess, just like in her previous life?

Gu Qianhan knew that she would die in the palace, but he didn't stop her? Or did Gu Qianhan have a way to save Gu Qianning's life?

Shen Wantang was worried, and Gu Qianning wasn't much better.

She whispered, "The Emperor actually doesn't want the Gu family to have a second queen, so he has been at odds with my father. He has been in a bad mood these days. I was 'seriously ill', and the Emperor didn't allow the Crown Prince to come to the Gu family to see me."

"The emperor is not only angry with the Gu family, but also with Xiao Qingxi. If Xiao Qingxi wasn't pregnant, the emperor would probably call her into the palace and give her a good scolding."

"Even if she is pregnant, the emperor will definitely not let her go this time. It's not just because I fell into the water, but also because of Lin Rouxin. Her whereabouts are unknown and she may have drowned a long time ago. Now everyone outside sympathizes with her experience and has a lot of opinions about Xiao Qingxi. The palace will definitely blame her."

"I'm afraid that after Xiao Qingxi is punished, your life in Prince Ning's Mansion will be difficult. She was so rude to you outside and even dared to overturn our pleasure boat. I'm afraid she will be even more lawless in Prince Ning's Mansion."

Shen Wantang patted her hand gently to calm her down: "The Ning Palace has always been in chaos, I'm used to it. The princess has been bedridden lately to take care of her pregnancy, so she doesn't have the energy to cause trouble to me. Even if she does, I have ways to deal with her."

She had pinched Xiao Qingxi's wrist before, and she felt pain for several days, so she didn't go to Wutong Garden for several days.

If Xiao Qingxi scolds her again in the future, then let her suffer the pain for a few more days. When the pain gets too severe, she will eventually start to be afraid of her.

Seeing how easily she spoke, Gu Qianning couldn't help but hesitate to speak.

She really wanted to ask Shen Wantang if she had any idea of ​​divorce. If she left Prince Ning's Mansion, her life would be much easier.

Although her second brother is cold and ruthless to outsiders, he is absolutely considerate, caring and loving to Shen Wantang. Marrying her second brother is much better than marrying Xiao Qingyuan!

Unfortunately, these words turned around and around in Gu Qianning's mouth, but in the end she swallowed them. Divorce involves too many things. Not to mention whether Prince Ning's Mansion would agree to the divorce, it is also a question whether Shen Wantang's father and mother can accept her after the divorce.

Shen Wantang didn't know what Gu Qianning was thinking. She was really used to the chaos in Prince Ning's mansion, so she didn't think it was a big deal.

She chatted with Gu Qianning for a long time before leaving.

Before leaving, Gu Qianning gave her another copybook of calligraphy.

It was still written by Gu Qianhan, but this one was thicker than the previous two, and it was brand new, and you could tell it was written recently.

Shen Wantang knew that this should have been written specifically for her.

She didn't say much, just thanked him and walked out of Gu Qianning's yard with the calligraphy.

Then, she went to Madam Gu to formally bid farewell and left with her maids and nanny.

In the pavilion of the garden, Pei Linan wrapped himself in a thick blanket to protect himself from the cold wind of early spring.

He turned around and glanced at Gu Qianhan beside him. Seeing that he had been staring at the direction where Shen Wantang left, he couldn't help but said, "Second cousin, she left so quickly that even her shadow can't be seen. Why are you still looking at her?"

Gu Qianhan took a sip of the warm wine and ignored him.

Pei Linan was not angry either, and whispered: "Since my second cousin likes her so much, why don't you snatch her away? I know that Xiao Qingyuan can't be your opponent."

Gu Qianhan raised his eyebrows slightly: "I didn't realize that inside your sick body, you still have a heart of plunder. You are indeed the direct descendant of the Pei family, just like your aunt, and you are so confident when robbing people."

Pei Linan was a little surprised: "Why, did your aunt ask you to snatch her back? Does your aunt know that you like her?"

"She didn't know, but she did want to get the person back, but she didn't do it for me."

"If not for you? Then for whom?"

Pei Linan realized as soon as he asked that his aunt actually wanted to snatch Shen Wantang back and give her to him!

No wonder they had to bring him here today, and even gave him a bowl of strong medicine for the first time, just so that he could have the strength to sit in a wheelchair and meet Shen Wantang.

He said that it was very puzzling that his aunt suddenly praised Shen Wantang in front of him, and it turned out that she was trying to match him and Shen Wantang!

It's really - quite ridiculous!

Pei Linan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My aunt really loves me, her nephew, dearest to her. Even though I'm in such a state, she still wants to find me a wife who is outstanding in every way!"

"She is so bright and generous, so healthy and beautiful, and I am a sickly person, half a foot has stepped into the gate of hell, but Auntie dares to think about it."

"I have been worthy of everyone in my life, but the only person I feel sorry for is my aunt. I should disappoint her."

Gu Qianhan raised his eyes and looked at him: "If you die faster, she won't be so disappointed. Otherwise, why don't you drink more wine?"

Pei Linan laughed angrily: "Second cousin, you are too cruel. Everyone pities me and hopes that I can live a few more days, but you want me to die faster. I am your cousin, are you still a human being?"

Gu Qianhan: "Strictly speaking, I am indeed not a human."
