Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

"Tomorrow you will know the reason why I gave Chu Yanluo one thousand taels of gold. Sometimes giving money is not helping people, but harming them. As for my saying that I want to marry Chu Yanluo as my wife..."

Gu Qianhan was silent for a moment, then took out a piece of gauze from his sleeve pocket. He looked at the gauze and whispered, "I owe her a favor, so I'm going to help her."

At first glance, this sounded like he was saying that he owed Chu Yanluo a favor, but Jixiang knew better than anyone that the young master did not owe Chu Yanluo a favor.

He follows his own master every day, and he has no contact with Chu Yanluo. Except for the last time he went to Prince Ning's mansion to drink, he has never even seen Chu Yanluo before.

Jixiang was confused: "Second Master, who do you owe a favor to? Who do you want to help?"

she?

Who is she?

Jixiang lowered his head and saw that his young master was holding a piece of gauze in his hand, and his eyes widened instantly!

Isn’t this the veil that Shen Wantang was wearing just now?

He remembered that it was blown off by the wind. When did the young master pick it up? He took the veil of the Crown Prince's wife. Isn't this... inappropriate?

Jixiang felt something was wrong, but he didn't dare say anything. The last time the young master inexplicably ran to the courtyard of the Crown Prince's wife, he already felt that there was something wrong with the young master. Today he felt something was wrong even more - the young master never took women's private belongings.

However, who benefits the most from the young master snatching Chu Yanluo away from Xiao Qingyuan?

Without a doubt, it must be the Crown Prince's Consort!

Because of Chu Yanluo, Xiao Qingyuan has not yet consummated his marriage with the Crown Prince's Consort. If the Second Young Master snatches Chu Yanluo away, Xiao Qingyuan will be so disheartened that he will probably go back to live a good life with the Crown Prince's Consort.

And it seems today that Prince Xiao is not completely without affection for his Crown Princess. He does not hate her as rumored by the outside world. On the contrary, he seems to listen to her very much. When she said she wanted to go home, he immediately followed her back, even abandoning Chu Yanluo.

But the question is, why would the Second Young Master want to help the Crown Prince's Consort?

He didn't owe the Crown Prince's Consort any favor. Including today, he had only met the Crown Prince's Consort twice.

Jixiang racked his brains but couldn't figure out what his young master was going to do. He simply gave up thinking about it because he had other things to worry about. He was in a state of panic at the moment: "Young master, you can't learn from Master Xiao. You can't really bring Chu Yanluo to our house, otherwise the lady will skin me alive!"

"My wife said that you are already twenty years old and it is time for you to marry a lady from a wealthy family. She asked me to keep a close eye on you and not let you mess around outside. If you take Chu Yanluo back with you, how will I report to you?"

"Think twice, sir!"

Gu Qianhan nodded: "You can't take her back, otherwise it would be a waste if my mother gets sick. I heard that when Xiao Qingyuan took Chu Yanluo back, Princess Ning fainted from anger. It's really unfilial."

Jixiang was so moved that he almost cried: "Yes, yes, you are right, sir! Madam's health is not very good to begin with, and she can't stand too much stimulation. Madam will definitely be very happy that you can be so filial!"

He said that his young master was much more reliable than that Master Xiao, and that his young master would definitely not let his mother get so angry that she fainted just because of Chu Yanluo.

As he was thinking about it, he saw the young master take out a few silver bills and hand them to him.

"Master, what do you mean?"

"Use this banknote to buy a house. Make it luxurious and impressive."

"Ah? Why did you suddenly buy a house?"

"What else can I do? Take Chu Yanluo over. I'll also learn the ways of the dandies in the capital and keep a mistress."

Jixiang's eyes went dark: "What?!"

It's over. It looks like he's going to get a beating from his wife.

"Think twice, sir! If you keep a mistress, your reputation will be ruined. No girl from a good family will be willing to marry you in the future."

Gu Qianhan said firmly: "Go and do it quickly. Chu Yanluo must be picked up."

-

Prince Ning's Mansion.

Xiao Qingyuan was standing in front of Princess Ning and being scolded.

"You actually said you wanted to divorce your wife again, and this time you said it in front of so many outsiders who were watching the fun! How could you be so confused?!"

Princess Ning was so angry that her heart and head ached: "Do you know how difficult it is for Tang'er to do this? Go out and ask around, which wife has suffered so much injustice from her husband like she has?"

"No matter how good or bad a person is at home, he should give his wife some face when he goes out, because giving face to his wife is giving face to himself! How can a man who talks about divorcing his wife every day be a good person?!"

"You clearly promised me yesterday that you would respect Tang'er and give her dignity in the future. Why did you change your mind immediately after going out with Chu Yanluo? Can there be anything useful in your mind besides Chu Yanluo?"

Xiao Qingyuan was a little embarrassed after being scolded: "Mother, I was just talking in a hurry and said something impulsive. I don't know what happened to Gu Qianhan today. He insisted on snatching Yan Luo from me. When I was angry, I forgot the seriousness of the matter."

He swears to God that he has no intention of divorcing Shen Wantang now. She has done an impeccable job as the Crown Prince's Consort. If he divorces her, who else can he find to be the Crown Prince's Consort?

Chu Yanluo?

Xiao Qingyuan already knew that she was not suitable to be the mistress of the house.

But his words could not calm the anger of Princess Ning. She slammed a tea bowl and said angrily, "Impulsive? Forgot the importance of things? A dispute of arrogance? Excuses! These are all excuses! Gu Qianhan wants to snatch Chu Yanluo, so let him snatch it! For such a thing, you casually said you wanted to divorce your wife. Where do you put Tang'er? Where do you put me as a mother?"

"I've said it before, I only recognize Tang'er as the Crown Prince's Consort, I don't recognize anyone else!"

"If you want to marry Chu Yanluo, you have to die!"

Princess Ning cannot divorce her. This is her bottom line. Her son has challenged this bottom line again and again for Chu Yanluo, and her pent-up anger exploded.

"Tell Chu Yanluo to get out! You want to divorce me? Then I will forbid Chu Yanluo to set foot in the palace! Let her go back to Jixin Temple to become a nun. You should also get out. Don't you like to accompany her? You should also go to Fazhen Temple to become a monk!"

Princess Ning's face turned blue with anger: "At worst, I can adopt a son from another relative to inherit the palace!"

Xiao Qingyuan was shocked when he heard her say something like adopting a son: "Mother!"

"Don't call me mother! I think Chu Yanluo is your real mother. You obey her orders without caring about me or the palace!"

Princess Ning couldn't help crying when she talked about her sad moments.

She was really sad. The son whom she had raised with great care was now not filial to her at all. She had carefully chosen a princess who was outstanding in every way, but he wanted to divorce her every other day. He didn't even take her, his mother, seriously at all.
