Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang was slightly stunned. She actually wanted to give the credit for solving the case to Gu Qianhan, hoping that this credit could help him protect the Gu family.

But Gu Qianhan didn't seem to want that, he just wanted to help her solve the case.

Unfortunately, she couldn't say it too bluntly, otherwise it would reveal the fact that she was reborn.

She could only shake her head: "No, I didn't want to go in and see. I just wanted to hear Second Young Master Gu's opinion. After all, Second Young Master has always been known as a genius prodigy. I thought that maybe you could solve this case."

Gu Qianning also thought it made sense: "Yes, second brother, you are so smart, can't you help General Xin solve his family's case? He is so pitiful. He has been staying in the Ministry of Justice without sleep for the past few days. He has no home to return to, and he has no way to return. We should help find out the reason for his family's disappearance as soon as possible, so that he can rest assured!"

Gu Qianhan didn't look at his sister. He looked at Shen Wantang with deep eyes: "I can't solve this case, but I think you can. Do you want to try?"

Gu Qianning was surprised: "Ah? Why did Second Brother say that? Atang, can you still solve the case?"

Shen Wantang glanced at Gu Qianhan, then avoided his gaze. She said in a light tone: "I can't solve the case. I just think General Xin is too miserable. I hope his case can be solved as soon as possible."

In her previous life, when she was Shen Wantang, she was also “unable to solve cases”.

She can only solve cases when she wears men's clothes, puts on a beard, and works as Liao Youhe's aide.

In this life, it was enough for her to have a label of "proficient in medical skills". Investigating cases and performing autopsies were too shocking and did not suit her identity as the Crown Prince's Consort of the Ning Palace, so she would not make the matter of investigating the case public.

But it is human nature to have some compassion and curiosity about such a big case. If she had no curiosity at all, it would arouse suspicion.

Unfortunately, the decisive evidence was too hidden, and she had no way of saying it directly. She needed to meet Xiang Meng before she could point it out.

After chatting for a while, Gu Qianhan left. He deliberately gave the space to Shen Wantang and Gu Qianning.

Shen Wantang watched him leave the private room, then walked out of Zuixianlou and went to the street.

She stared at his tall and straight back in a trance. Did Gu Qianhan not know the evidence of the Xin family case? Or did he actually know, but he didn't want to take the credit from her?

She actually hoped that he would snatch it, but the problem was, how could she tell him about this without revealing that she was not reborn?

Shen Wantang withdrew his gaze and looked at Gu Qianning.

Gu Qianning: "Atang, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Shen Wantang smiled faintly: "A Ning, have you noticed that your second brother's reputation has not been very good recently?"

Gu Qianning said quickly, "Atang, don't believe those messy rumors outside. My second brother is a little cold, but he never does bad things, let alone bullying weak women! You see, every time he sees you, he is very well behaved. He is afraid of gossip, so he keeps a distance from you. He is very sensible!"

Shen Wantang nodded: "I know your second brother is not that kind of person, but people outside don't know that. Do you want to help him change his reputation?"

"Can this be reversed? How?"

……

Gu Qianhan was walking casually on the most prosperous street in the capital. Whenever he saw someone selling some rare gadgets, he would stop and take a look.

He couldn't help but wonder which one Shen Wantang would like.

He picked out the two most interesting ones and asked Jixiang to pay for them.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Gu Qianhan!"

When he looked back, he saw Xiao Qingyuan sitting on the second floor of Tongchun Pavilion. Sitting opposite him was Shen Wantang's husband in her previous life, Liao Youhe.

A sneer flashed across Gu Qianhan's lips. It was quite interesting that the two of them were actually sitting together.

Wouldn't it be more interesting if he went up and sat there too?

He raised his head and gave Xiao Qingyuan a cold smile: "The prince invited me up to drink? Then I won't be polite!"

Xiao Qingyuan's expression suddenly changed: "When did I ask you to come up?! Gu Qianhan, you are not allowed to come up!"

Gu Qianhan seemed to be deaf. He brought the servant into Tongchun Pavilion, went straight to the second floor, kicked open the door of the private room, and walked in.

Xiao Qingyuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Gu Qianhan! Get out!"

Gu Qianhan's cold gaze swept across him and Liao Youhe, and then fell on Xin Huailin.

Just now, when he was downstairs, he only saw Xiao Qingyuan and Liao Youhe sitting by the window, and did not see the third person.

"General Xin is here too. I'm sorry."

Gu Qianhan bowed slightly to him. After Xin Huailin returned the greeting, he looked at Liao Youhe again, pretending not to know him: "Who is this?"

Just as Liao Youhe was about to introduce himself, Xiao Qingyuan stood up and said, "Who he is has nothing to do with you! Gu Qianhan, I have something important to do here. I don't have time to greet you. Get out!"

Gu Qianhan looked at him: "Then why did you call me just now?"

Xiao Qingyuan was speechless and wanted to slap himself.

That is to say, why did he call Gu Qianhan! It was all his fault for being so mean. When he saw Gu Qianhan, he called her out of habit. Now he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

Gu Qianhan didn't care whether he was happy or not, he just sat down on the chair next to him, and said without considering himself as an outsider: "What were you three talking about just now? Tell me, maybe I can help you. After all, the brains of the three of you combined are not as good as half of mine."

Liao Youhe and Xin Huailin looked at each other. Gu Qianhan was indeed as cold and arrogant as the rumors said.

However, they both felt that although Gu Qianhan spoke arrogantly, what he said was true. He was the number one child prodigy in Dafeng, with extraordinary talent and intelligence that no one could match.

Xin Huailin was especially angry and tormented, and desperately wanted to catch the murderer. However, after talking with Xiao Qingyuan and Liao Youhe for a long time, he didn't get any useful information. If he asked the two of them to help solve the case, it would take a long time.

Why not ask Gu Qianhan for help?

Therefore, Xin Huailin quickly said, "Second Master Gu, we are talking about my family's case. I believe you already know that all thirteen people in my family disappeared inexplicably. Now the Ministry of Justice has arrested several suspects. Can you help me analyze it?"

Gu Qianhan nodded: "Tell me about it."

Xin Huailin perked up and quickly told everything he knew.

Xiao Qingyuan, who was standing by, looked extremely unhappy when he saw Xin Huailin treating Gu Qianhan as a life-saving straw.

It was clearly him who asked Xin Huailin to come today, it was clearly him who was the leader in solving the case, and he was clearly the protagonist!

Now, all the limelight has been stolen by Gu Qianhan!
