Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

In Dafeng, a man could divorce his wife and remarry, he could remarry after his wife's death, and he could even have two wives and countless concubines. However, the law forbade a man to demote his wife to a concubine. If an official dared to do so, he would not only lose his job but also go to jail!

Xiao Qingyuan was not an official, but if he dared to take the lead in demoting his wife to a concubine, the emperor would be the first one to not forgive him. Kneeling and house arrest would be light punishments, and he would be beaten with a stick.

Chu Yanluo didn't care about that. She raised her chin and said proudly, "Then you should divorce her. You didn't consummate your marriage with her anyway. Everyone in the capital knows about this. After you divorce her, I can help her find a good family!"

Xiao Qingyuan was so angry that he blurted out, "What good family would be willing to marry a divorced woman? If there really was a good family, wouldn't you have married long ago? How could it be Shen Wantang's turn?"

Chu Yanluo's face turned pale. "What did you say? Xiao Qingyuan, are you saying that I'm staying with you because I can't get married? Didn't you hear Master Gu say he wanted to marry me? Isn't the Gu family a good family?"

The Gu family is certainly a good family, but Xiao Qingyuan doesn’t think that the Gu family will allow Chu Yanluo to enter.

Don't be fooled by Gu Qianhan's nice words here, saying that he wants to marry Chu Yanluo as his wife, but in fact, it is difficult for Chu Yanluo to even enter the house as a concubine. The rules of the Gu family are much stricter than those of the Ning Wang Mansion. The daughter-in-law that Mrs. Gu has her eyes on is Liu Nanshi, the daughter of Liu Ge's old family. She is very picky. Except for Liu Nanshi, she feels that no other young lady in the capital is worthy of her youngest son, not even the princess.

Unfortunately, Chu Yanluo couldn't see through this. Xiao Qingyuan was furious and said coldly, "I can't let you go with Gu Qianhan. Don't think about it anymore. Shen Wantang is my wife and you are my concubine. This is the best way! I will give you enough dignity and let you live like her. You have everything except the status of the legal wife. Isn't this okay?"

Chu Yanluo thought that she had Gu Qianhan's support at the moment, so she refused without hesitation: "No! If you don't want me to be your legal wife, I will leave you, leave Prince Ning's Mansion, and never come back! You will lose me forever, Xiao Qingyuan, think it over carefully first!"

Jixiang listened to their heated argument and could not help but look at his own young master with admiration.

The young master is really powerful. With just a few words, he has provoked the two of them to the point of being on the brink of war. The young master can't get a word in during their quarrel!

Young master's strategy of sowing discord is superb.

Gu Qianhan stood aside and had no intention of interrupting. He occasionally glanced at the door and saw a few shadows moving there. He knew that someone was eavesdropping and watching the fun.

Shen Wantang has a maidservant beside her, her name seems to be Qinxin or something. I heard from Jixiang that she is a person who loves to watch the fun. She likes to watch and inquire about any excitement in the capital. I wonder if Qinxin is outside at this moment.

If Qin Xin was outside, would Shen Wantang come over given the chaos here?

Gu Qianhan was slightly distracted and didn't pay attention to what Xiao Qingyuan and Chu Yanluo were arguing about. He came back to his senses only after they stopped arguing.

Then, he stepped forward and punched Xiao Qingyuan fiercely: "Since you don't like her, then give her to me!"

Xiao Qingyuan was beaten back several steps. Half of his face was in great pain and his mouth was instantly filled with the taste of blood. He looked at Gu Qianhan in shock and anger: "Are you crazy? You dare to hit me?!"

"It was you who hit!"

Xiao Qingyuan became furious and rushed forward to fight with Gu Qianhan.

It’s not like he had never fought with Gu Qianhan before. They practiced martial arts together, and it was common for them to spar with each other.

Most of the time, he wins and Gu Qianhan loses.

But today, he was shocked to find that he could not withstand Gu Qianhan's moves at all. Gu Qianhan's punches were ten times more powerful than before, his palm winds were fast and fierce, and coupled with his leg skills, Xiao Qingyuan fell into a disadvantage in an instant, and was hit by many punches on the face and body.

Xiao Qingyuan yelled, "This is impossible! You can't suddenly become so strong!"

Gu Qianhan punched him again with a cold expression: "I didn't become strong suddenly, I have always been this strong. You didn't feel that I was strong because I have always given in to you in the past. From now on, I will no longer give in. I will beat you and I will also take your woman away. Miss Chu, I must take her away today."

Outside the door, Qin Xin saw two people fighting and ran away immediately.

She ran into the Ning Wangfei's courtyard breathlessly and said hurriedly, "Princess, Crown Prince's Concubine, the Crown Prince and Master Gu are fighting. Master Gu seems to have been ruthless in order to take Chu Yanluo away. The Crown Prince is injured. You should go and have a look!"

Princess Ning was shocked: "What? Yuan'er is injured? Tang'er, come on, let's go to Xingheyuan!"

Shen Wantang immediately stood up, held Princess Ning's arm, and hurried to Xingheyuan with her.

When they arrived, the two were still fighting, but it was obvious to the naked eye that Gu Qianhan had the upper hand.

Princess Ning hurriedly said, "Stop it now! Stop hitting me! If you keep going, someone will die. Did you two hear me?!"

Unfortunately, the two people, who were so angry that they were furious, ignored her.

Shen Wantang stepped forward: "Prince, Master Gu, stop fighting!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qianhan stopped immediately.

Xiao Qingyuan did not stop. He punched Gu Qianhan in the face, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.

Shen Wantang was shocked: "Sir, stop it!"

Only then did Xiao Qingyuan stop.

Shen Wantang couldn't help but glance at Gu Qianhan. He didn't wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, but greeted Princess Ning first, then nodded slightly at her: "Princess, I'm sorry to bother you with your visit today. But I have reasons to take Miss Chu away, please forgive me."

Before Shen Wantang could say anything, Princess Ning immediately said, "I understand that you want to take Chu Yanluo away, I understand very much, but you shouldn't hit anyone! Qingyuan is still injured, aren't you trying to kill him?"

Gu Qianhan: "He is occupying Miss Chu and refusing to let her go. This is also trying to kill me."

Princess Ning looked at her son and saw that he seemed to be fine except for some minor injuries. Her mind raced, "Do you really like Chu Yanluo so much?"

"Yes, please help me, Princess."

"Okay, take her away!"

Xiao Qingyuan was anxious: "Mother, we can't let him take Yan Luo away!"

"you shut up!"

Princess Ning glared at her son and looked at Gu Qianhan: "Qianhan, I have watched you grow up, and I will not cheat you. This Chu Yanluo is not a good person. If you want her, you must be mentally prepared."

"Thank you for your reminder, Princess, but in my eyes, Miss Chu is the best girl in the world."

Princess Ning wanted to laugh out loud, but she felt that it was not morally right. She suppressed her smile and asked, "You won't regret it?"

"I will never regret it."

"Okay, young people are full of courage and resolution. Come on, pack up Chu Yanluo and let Second Young Master Gu take her away!"
