Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 181 It’s okay to pretend to be faint

Xiao Qingyuan hesitated.

Shen Wantang was unexpectedly strong today. He was probably really mad at Chu Yanluo, so it was difficult for him to force himself to go against her.

What's more, Shen Wantang's suggestion that Chu Yanluo live in a courtyard of her own was actually what he wanted. She should have lived in a courtyard of her own a long time ago, so that she wouldn't always be embarrassed by Huayi.

He finally nodded: "Okay, let's do as you say. Yanluo will live in Qingwu Courtyard from now on."

Chu Yanluo in his arms almost jumped up with anger. She regretted very much that she pretended to be faint, otherwise she would not have let Shen Wantang take advantage of such a big opportunity!

Shen Wantang did it on purpose, she was taking revenge on her!

If she moves out of Xingheyuan, wouldn't that be a good deal for Huayi? No one will be able to stop her from hooking up with Xiao Qingyuan in the future!

It's a pity that she can't wake up so soon, otherwise Xiao Qingyuan will definitely suspect that she was pretending to faint.

Xiao Qingyuan naturally didn't know what Chu Yanluo was thinking. He said with some concern: "You should check her wound first. She has lost too much blood."

Shen Wantang stretched out her hand and felt Chu Yanluo's pulse. She knew at once that Chu Yanluo was indeed very weak, but she was pretending to be unconscious.

"Madam Chu is suffering from a deficiency of both Qi and blood. Although her life is not in danger, she still needs to rest well for a few months. Otherwise, her health will be seriously damaged in the future and she will have big problems."

Shen Wantang did not expose Chu Yanluo. It didn’t matter that she liked to pretend to be faint. There would be a time when she would really be faint in the future.

"After you send her to Qingwu Courtyard, remember not to give her too much tonic. She is too weak. Rashly giving her tonic will do more harm than good. She should mainly eat a light diet."

Xiao Qingyuan nodded: "What you said makes sense. In this case, I will send her to rest now."

After he finished speaking, he carried Chu Yanluo away.

Shen Wantang continued to cook as if nothing had happened.

The maids and servants in the kitchen all looked at her in awe.

In the past, they all thought that the Crown Prince's wife was too kind-hearted, and sometimes she was even suppressed by Chu Yanluo. In fact, they also secretly felt that she was not liked by the Crown Prince, so they did not have the confidence to challenge Chu Yanluo, and naturally their momentum was weaker than Chu Yanluo.

After seeing Shen Wantang slap Chu Yanluo twice today, no one thinks that she is weak now.

The most important thing is that Shen Wantang not only beat Chu Yanluo, but also retorted when the prince came to question her.

The prince suddenly went from threatening to punish the enemy to submitting his actions.

The Crown Prince's Consort is amazing. She smoothed out all the thorns on the Crown Prince's body, and even assigned Chu Yanluo to Qingwu Courtyard! Qingwu Courtyard is very remote, and no one has lived there for a long time.

It turns out that she is not without temper, she is just too well-mannered, so she doesn't get angry easily.

Shen Wantang didn't care about the looks of the maids and old women. After she prepared the dishes, she asked Qin Xin to pack the food boxes, and then she personally delivered them to Princess Ning's courtyard.

Shen Wantang did not mention a word about what happened in the kitchen, and only told Princess Ning some interesting things that happened outside.

Princess Ning ate the delicious side dishes prepared by her daughter-in-law while listening to her stories, and unknowingly ate an extra bowl of rice.

After she finished eating, Nanny Quan was surprised and delighted and said, "The princess ate a lot this time. The princess is a good cook!"

Princess Ning was very satisfied with the meal this time. She looked at Shen Wantang with satisfaction: "Tang'er is really a filial child. You have worked hard."

As she spoke, she took Shen Wantang's hand and examined it carefully.

Shen Wantang knew what she was checking. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. I'm not burned."

"How come there isn't one? Isn't there a red spot here? It must have been splashed with oil. It's a burn. Why didn't you tell me?"

After listening to this, Shen Wantang looked down and saw a red dot the size of a grain of rice on his hand.

She still smiled: "It doesn't hurt. If mother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that I was splashed with oil here."

Princess Ning asked Nanny Quan to bring the burn ointment and applied it to her personally. "I know you are filial to me, but the kitchen work can be handed over to the subordinates. You don't have to do it in the future. You have suffered a lot since you married into the palace. How can I ask you to do those rough jobs again?"

Shen Wantang was deeply moved, and her words were particularly sincere: "My mother really loves me. I am blessed."

When she was in the Shen family, her stepmother always liked to set rules for her, and one of the most annoying ones was to ask her to go to the kitchen to cook for her.

No matter how well she cooked the food, her stepmother was never satisfied and would punish her by making her redo the dish over and over again.

She could no longer bear it and reported it to her father Shen Guannian. However, her stepmother said that this was to train her so that she could go to her husband's house to respect her parents-in-law and serve her husband after she got married. If a daughter couldn't even cook, she would be despised by her husband's family, and the Shen family couldn't afford to lose this person.

After hearing this, Shen Guannian agreed with it and said that everyone should listen to their stepmother from now on, and then he stopped paying attention to her.

In her previous life, she married Liao Youhe as a lower-class woman, and her mother-in-law was a difficult and cunning person. It was impossible for her to cook for her mother-in-law. On the contrary, when her mother-in-law asked her to cook, she concealed her true cooking skills and said directly that she couldn't do it.

My mother-in-law also made sarcastic remarks about this for a long time.

But no matter how her mother-in-law ridiculed her, Shen Wantang just refused to cook. There was no reason for her to marry down, support the whole family, and flatter her mother-in-law.

In this life, she married into a wealthy family, but her mother-in-law protected her everywhere and never made things difficult for her.

People are all made of flesh and blood. Since her mother-in-law had a poor appetite and couldn't eat, she naturally wanted to cook for her herself and make some delicious dishes for her.

But she didn't expect that her mother-in-law, who obviously loved the food she cooked, refused to ask her to cook anymore because she felt sorry for her.

In her two lives, apart from her biological mother who died early, Princess Ning was probably the person who loved her the most.

She stayed with her mother-in-law for a while, and when she saw that she yawned and looked a little sleepy, she left.

She returned to her own courtyard and entered the inner room, where Dujuan helped her change her clothes. She had spent quite a while in the kitchen today, and her clothes were all stained with a smell.

While Du Juan was changing her clothes, she said with red eyes: "Princess, I think what the princess said is right. You have really been wronged by marrying here."

Shen Wantang laughed: "Why do I feel wronged? Isn't this much better than when I was in the Shen family?"

"Different."

Du Juan choked up slightly, "When you were in the Shen family, at least no concubine dared to scold you. After you came to Prince Ning's Mansion, any cat or dog dared to yell at you. A concubine dared to insult you, and the prince protected her and blamed you right away. Isn't this enough for you?"

Shen Wantang wanted to laugh a little. She really didn't feel wronged: "Didn't I fight back? I slapped her twice, and she scratched the wound herself. I also sent her to Qingwu Courtyard. Do you think I was wronged or she was wronged?"
