Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang did not change her attitude just because she bowed her head. She remained cold and calm: "The prince also asked you to leave just now. Didn't you hear it?"

Chu Yanluo pinched her palms hard, trying to show that she wanted to form an alliance with Shen Wantang: "Since the prince took me back, he naturally wanted me to live in the palace. He just drove me away in anger."

"If you drive me away, the one who benefits the most is not you, but Mu Ge. She will definitely surpass you and climb into the bed with you. But if I am here, I can guarantee that the prince will not touch other women. This way you will benefit the most, right?"

Her momentum obviously weakened, and even her tone of voice lacked that arrogance.

Shen Wantang was barely satisfied with the result of tonight.

She didn't want to drive Chu Yanluo away. She just wanted to scare her. But the reason was not because of what Chu Yanluo said about whether it would benefit her or not, nor was it because she was afraid that Mu Ge would climb into bed with her.

To Shen Wantang, it doesn’t matter whether Chu Yanluo or Mu Ge is favored, she doesn’t care.

What she cared about was her authority in the palace.

Tonight, Xiao Qingyuan had just confirmed her authority. If she sent Chu Yanluo away at this time, and Xiao Qingyuan took her back tomorrow, she would be in a passive position again.

It would be better to keep the person in the mansion. There are plenty of ways to control Chu Yanluo anyway. When Xiao Qingyuan wakes up, let him decide whether Chu Yanluo should stay or go.

However, Shen Wantang felt that Xiao Qingyuan would not really drive her away. His feelings towards Chu Yanluo were different, and his tolerance for her was surprisingly high, to a level that ordinary people could hardly understand.

Seeing that Shen Wantang didn't say anything, Chu Yanluo became anxious: "Shen Wantang, you can't chase me away. You know how much the prince likes me. I..."

Before she could finish her words, Matron Chai interrupted her coldly, "How dare you! How can you call the Crown Prince's Consort casually? Someone, kick her out of the palace immediately! We in the Ning Palace will not keep such unruly people!"

Two servants immediately came to pull Chu Yanluo away.

Chu Yanluo’s teeth were almost broken, but the situation was stronger than she was, so she had to bow her head and admit defeat: "Princess, don’t chase me away! I will behave myself from now on!"

Shen Wantang glanced at Nanny Chai and felt satisfied with her sharpness. She was worthy of being a nanny from the palace. She grasped the timing to put pressure on Chu Yanluo so well, forcing Chu Yanluo to call her the Crown Prince's Consort.

Xiao Qingyuan actually didn't want such a good nanny with vision and wisdom. He really... let her get away with it!

Nanny Chai was also looking at Shen Wantang. She knew her identity very well, so it was impossible for her to really bypass Shen Wantang and drive Chu Yanluo out on her own initiative. After she scared Chu Yanluo, she used her eyes to ask Shen Wantang for her opinion and waited for her instructions.

Shen Wantang nodded at her: "Since she is willing to abide by the rules, let her stay in the palace for another night. We can make a decision after the prince wakes up."

After receiving the order, Madam Chai waved her hand and asked the two maids to leave.

Then, she took out the airs of a first-class nanny, walked up to Chu Yanluo and Mu Ge, and said coldly: "Two girls, the Crown Prince's Consort is tired, it is not appropriate for you to stand here any longer, please."

Although she used the word "please", Chu Yanluo and Mu Ge didn't think she was being polite at all. When Madam Chai pronounced this word, it had the same effect as "get out".

But it is a great blessing to be able to stay in the palace tonight. Chu Yanluo used to dare to shout in front of Nanny Chai, but now he doesn’t have the confidence.

She could only leave Wutong Garden in shame, just like Mu Ge.

Seeing the door of Wutong Garden being closed by the old woman, Chu Yanluo's resentment and anger almost reached its peak.

She looked at Mu Ge gloomily: "You'd better get out of the palace by yourself, otherwise, when I drive you away, you will die!"

Mu Ge said sarcastically, "Miss Chu, you are so arrogant. May I ask who you are in the palace? The Crown Prince's wife didn't chase me away, so how can someone with no status like you chase me away?"

"No wonder the prince favors his wife. The wife is much more generous than you. You are so petty and have such a sharp tongue. How did you deceive the prince in the past? Did you rely on your looks?"

"Tsk tsk, what a pity! You have a scar on your face now, and you are disfigured. I'm afraid you won't be able to deceive the prince anymore. Your good days are over."

After Mu Ge finished speaking, he didn't give Chu Yanluo a chance to speak again, and walked away with his waist twisted.

Chu Yanluo looked at her wearing the same clothes and having the same long hair as her, and murderous intent welled up in his eyes.

It's fine if Shen Wantang climbed over her head, but how could this Mu Ge have the guts to provoke her? She's tired of living!

She clenched her hands and quickly returned to Xingheyuan.

When she returned to the inner room, she found that her palm was bleeding and two of her nails were broken because she had used too much force.

Because she was so angry, she didn't feel any pain at all.

She pressed hard on the bleeding area, and even though severe pain came over her, she felt much better.

She became clear-headed. She realized that this was not going to work. Shen Wantang's advantage was growing, and it was becoming very difficult to bring her down.

Moreover, Xiao Qingyuan publicly acknowledged her as the Crown Prince's Consort today, so it was impossible for him to divorce her.

At least it is impossible in the short term.

Chu Yanluo didn't understand. She had been a troublemaker before, and Xiao Qingyuan didn't even mind that she was pregnant with another man's child. He was determined to marry her as the Crown Prince's Consort. Now she just quarreled with him a few more times, but he actually started to get tired of her? Did he start to like Shen Wantang? Did he think Shen Wantang was a good person because she never argued with him?

She didn't sleep all night, and kept thinking about why she had ended up in such a situation in this life.

At dawn, Chu Yanluo had finished his summary and regained his composure.

First, she relied on her experience in her previous life and was too arrogant and eager for quick success. She wanted to be the Crown Prince's Consort and the mistress of the house so much that she thought that by forcing Xiao Qingyuan, she could get the position of the Crown Prince's Consort, but the result was counterproductive.

Second, because she was eager for quick success, her true colors were gradually revealed in front of Xiao Qingyuan, and her personality was mostly destroyed. Xiao Qingyuan liked fairies who were aloof and otherworldly, but her recent behavior was not like that of a fairy, but like that of a lunatic.

Third, her opponent in this life was too strong, and she had no power to fight back. Not only was her opponent strong, but she also won over the maids and nannies who were supposed to be against her. In the previous life, Shen Mingxuan had no one around her, and it was good enough that Nanny Chai didn't scold her, and she wouldn't help her at all. In this life, Nanny Chai was loyal to Shen Wantang, and became a sharp weapon in her hand.

Now, Chu Yanluo has found two solutions.

The first is to stabilize his character again, win over Xiao Qingyuan's heart, stay in the palace for a long time, and slowly fight with Shen Wantang.

The second is to give up Xiao Qingyuan and find another man to support her and give her honor, such as Gu Qianhan.
