Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

When Gu Qianning heard this, she couldn't help but frowned.

She looked at the maid behind Xiao Qingyuan, thinking that this must be the painting he was talking about.

This maid is dressed up in fancy clothes and has a somewhat delicate appearance, but Xiao Qingyuan shouldn't be so concerned about her, right? He has to ask for a peace amulet for the maid before he can take Shen Wantang back home.

When you meet your wife, shouldn't you pray for her and put her first in everything? Why does Xiao Qingyuan's words make people feel that Shen Wantang, the legal wife, has to rank behind a maid?

Gu Qianning was unhappy with such a confused man: "The prince is very concerned about your maid. He even came to Fazhen Temple to ask the abbot for a peace amulet for her. She is so lucky. I just wonder if the prince has also asked for a peace amulet for the prince's wife? It's impossible that the maid has one but the prince's wife doesn't, right? Then the prince should not ask Atang to stay with you. It's better for her to go with us."

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned. He really didn't expect Shen Wantang to say, "This...if she likes it, just ask her for it."

Shen Wantang said calmly, "Your Highness, you don't have to ask for it for me. I already have it. My mother gave it to me a few days ago. You can just ask for it for Huayi. I'm ready to go back home, so I won't go with you to ask for a peace charm for Huayi. After all, there is no such rule. It would be inappropriate for the mistress of the house and her husband to ask for a peace charm for a maid together. It would be inappropriate if it gets out."

Xiao Qingyuan finally realized that something was wrong. It seemed as if the maid was suppressing Shen Wantang.

Hua Yi behind him had a terrified look on her face: "Your Highness, please pray for a peace amulet for the Crown Princess. I am just a servant, how can I be qualified to ask for a amulet for you? Your Highness, please treat me with such humility!"

Xiao Qingyuan turned around and saw that she was so scared that her face turned pale. He comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. It's just a peace amulet. Since I have already promised you, I will definitely ask for it for you. The Crown Prince's Concubine already has a peace amulet, so she doesn't need it."

Gu Qianning looked at Xiao Qingyuan in disbelief. He had previously been infatuated with a woman who was pregnant with another man's child. Now he was so gentle and considerate to a maid, but he left his wife aside. He was really going too far!

She turned to look at Shen Wantang, but saw that Shen Wantang had a calm expression, and there was no trace of ripples in his clear eyes, as if he had already gotten used to Xiao Qingyuan being like this.

She took a deep breath. What kind of life was Shen Wantang leading in Prince Ning's Mansion? How could her husband be so unreliable!

She was about to mock Xiao Qingyuan a few more times when she heard her second brother speak:

"Xiao Qingyuan, are you deliberately showing me that you care about this maid? Just because I said I would snatch whoever you like?"

"In that case, I will do as you wish. I will definitely take this maid."

"Jixiang, go and tie up this maid. Let's take her back to the Duke's Mansion and see what's so special about her that the distinguished prince personally went to Fazhen Temple to ask the abbot for a peace amulet for her."

Jixiang immediately stepped forward to capture the meaning of the painting.

Huayi was even more horrified: "Prince, this..."

Xiao Qingyuan blocked Jixiang and looked at Gu Qianhan hatefully: "What on earth are you going to do? Huayi is just my maid, there is no need to target her! If you hate me, then just deal with me directly. What kind of ability do you have to deal with a maid!"

Gu Qianhan's eyes were cold and his voice was indifferent. He was like a piece of emotionless ice, not caring about other people's lives at all: "She is just a maid. I can rob her if I want to, and I can kill her if I want to. The more you like her, the more I want to rob her, and the more you care about her, the more I want to kill her!"

Xiao Qingyuan roared: "Gu Qianhan, you are a lunatic!"

He shouted this so loudly that it attracted countless pilgrims to come and watch, and some even started pointing fingers at Gu Qianhan.

Gu Qianhan didn't care about the passers-by at all. He remained indifferent: "I am a lunatic, but so what. Your maid belongs to me. Before I take her away, you can go and ask for some lucky charm. Put it on her later and see whether your lucky charm or my knife is more useful."

Xiao Qingyuan was so angry that veins popped on his forehead. He clenched his fists and wished he could hit Gu Qianhan in the face twice.

However, the scene of the last fight with Gu Qianhan was still vivid in his mind - he was no match for Gu Qianhan at all, he was suppressed the whole time.

However, although he was angry, he still had his rationality and he soon realized his problem - he might have really shown too much love and protection for Huayi.

Otherwise, Gu Qianhan would not have set his eyes on Hua Yi.

All in all, it was his own fault for not hiding it well. If he hadn't been so nice to Huayi, he wouldn't have let Huayi provoke Gu Qianhan today.

He finally changed his tone: "Forget it, I won't ask for the amulet. I've been out long enough. It's time to go home with my Crown Prince's wife."

As he said this, he was about to take Shen Wantang and Huayi away.

Suddenly, a woman in green rushed out from the crowd. She knelt down at Gu Qianhan's feet and said, "Just now I heard this young master call you Gu Qianhan. Are you the second young master of the Duke's Mansion?"

Gu Qianhan ignored this person, but Xiao Qingyuan immediately said, "Yes, it's him. What do you want from him? But has he ever done anything wrong to you before?"

The woman in green started to cry: "Second Master Gu and I are strangers, and he has done nothing wrong to me. I just want to ask him for help this time."

"Second Master Gu, you are the son of the Duke's Mansion, the nephew of the Queen, and someone who can speak in front of the emperor. Please help me!"

"My father is Ye Chongli, the magistrate of Taiyu County. He was imprisoned for his failure to control the flood this year. But you have also seen the heavy rain this year. Such natural disasters are simply beyond human control. My father was wronged. He has done his best to control the flood!"

"My mother fell seriously ill and was on the verge of death. I also had a younger brother who was infected with the plague and was forcibly taken away. I still don't know whether he is alive or dead!"

"Please have mercy, Second Young Master Gu, and save my father, my mother, and my brother! I am willing to be your slave and servant to repay you!"

She kowtowed repeatedly, begging for help and crying until she was hoarse. She described her miserable and tragic life story, which moved all the pilgrims who were watching.

Gu Qianhan was indifferent. He had no expression on his face and said coldly, "Get lost!"

The woman in green froze. She couldn't believe her ears!

What did he say? Did he tell her to get out? Did he have no sympathy at all? Did she not make it clear, or did he not hear it clearly?

She knelt there, raised her head, and looked at the famous genius nobleman in the capital in disbelief.

Her family is in such a miserable state. Even if he is unwilling to lend a helping hand, he won't tell her to get out, right?
