Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

The snow was falling heavily and the night wind was howling.

Under the moonlight, two figures stood on the roof of Shen's house, one tall and straight, the other thin and clever.

It was past midnight, but no one in the Shen family was resting.

From time to time, sounds of abuse and quarrels could be heard, mixed with men's scolding and women's crying.

Obviously, after Liao Youhe's family came to the Shen family, a fierce conflict broke out with the Shen family.

"The Shen family is in chaos right now, the whole house is in turmoil!"

Jixiang's tone was quite gloating: "Sir, they have already started a mess. Do you still want to continue listening?"

Gu Qianhan's voice sounded a little cold under the night sky: "It is quite messy, but not messy enough."

"Ah? Isn't this messy enough? This is a complete mess!"

"Shen Mingxuan seems to think highly of Liao Youhe. Whenever Liao Youhe speaks during an argument, she will give in."

"Yes, sir, it's all over the place. Shen Mingxuan said every day that she was reborn. She believed that Liao Youhe would be a high-ranking official in the future. She cried and fought for this marriage. After the marriage, in order to let Liao Youhe study better, she took him to live in her mother's house in the capital instead of living in Liao's house!"

Gu Qianhan didn't speak for a long time.

In his previous life, Liao Youhe did sit on the position of Dali Temple Minister at the age of 29, and the emperor appreciated him very much. Not only did he reward him many times, but he also gave him unprecedented power as Dali Temple Minister.

People from the Ministry of Justice and the Embroidered Uniform Guard would retreat when they met Liao Youhe.

No matter which powerful family the emperor wanted to start eliminating, he liked to call Liao Youhe first to hint at it. Then, within a few days, Liao Youhe would present evidence of a certain family's crimes, such as people in the family bullying men and women, or someone secretly accumulating wealth, or someone colluding with the enemy and committing treason.

The charges against the nobles were numerous, some major and some minor, and the severity of the charges was not determined by Liao Youhe, but by the emperor's decision.

The noble families fell into Liao Youhe's hands one after another, and because those families did have some problems in their daily work styles and oppressed the people, every time a noble family fell, Liao Youhe's reputation and prestige would rise again.

Therefore, during that period, even though Liao Youhe was only a third-rank official, no one in the court dared to offend him.

Loved by the people and appreciated by the emperor, Liao Youhe enjoyed great success as he had the support of Xin Huailin, a meritorious general who had returned from fighting on the battlefield.

But he was also a man of integrity. He never flirted with other women, never abused his power for personal gain, and used the most honest means to find evidence of crimes committed by the nobles. He was so honest and upright that the nobles who hated him could not find any evidence against him.

It was quite normal for Shen Mingxuan to snatch Liao Youhe away immediately after her rebirth.

Unfortunately, Shen Mingxuan didn't know that everything Liao Youhe had was the result of Shen Wantang's painstaking planning behind the scenes.

Even Gu Qianhan himself only now realized how much Shen Wantang had done for Liao Youhe.

In his previous life, Liao Youhe had never been reported to be a homosexual.

But now, not long after Liao Youhe and Shen Mingxuan got married, the news of his homosexuality had spread throughout the capital.

"auspicious."

"Sir?"

"Send someone to Wanye Tower to inquire about what type of prostitute Liao Youhe fell in love with the last time he went there."

"Young Master, are you going to..."

"Buy one of that type."

"Ah? Sir, are you going to try the young prostitute too? No, Sir, there are rumors that you are a homosexual, you can't really make it true!"

Gu Qianhan's cold expression slightly cracked: "What nonsense!"

He knocked on the boy's head and said, "I asked you to buy one and give it to Liao Youhe! Shen Mingxuan is just too idle that she wants to cause trouble for Shen Wantang. In this case, of course we have to find something for Shen Mingxuan to do!"

Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief: "So this is what you meant! Okay, I'll do it right away!"

He said, the master was obviously thinking about Xiao Qingyuan's princess, why would he suddenly want to buy a young prostitute?

However, Jixiang couldn't tell for a moment whether his master liked the prince's wife or the young waiter.

Gu Qianhan was too lazy to pay attention to his stupid servant. He jumped off the roof, his cloak fluttering. He landed quickly and steadily and walked away.

Jixiang also jumped off the roof and walked quickly towards Wanye Tower.

This hour is when Wanye Tower is at its busiest!

-

The night passed.

Shen Wantang got up early and washed up as usual, then went to Shaoguangyuan to pay her respects to her mother-in-law.

When Princess Ning saw her, she stood up and walked forward, holding her and warming her hands: "Child, you don't have to come to pay respects on such days in the future. Just have a good sleep in your yard."

Shen Wantang chuckled: "My mother loves me, but I'm afraid I'm destined to be a hard worker. I can't fall asleep at dawn, and I'm used to getting up early every day."

She was telling the truth. She never slept in when she was in the Shen family, and she didn't have this habit after she got married.

Her life was very regular. She went to bed early and got up early, and she never broke her regular routine - but that's not right, because sometimes it was broken by some short-sighted people.

Xiao Qingxi, who was drinking bird's nest soup at the side, glanced at her and said, "You are quite self-aware. You know that you are destined to work hard. Unlike me, I was born to enjoy happiness!"

Princess Ning glared at her: "Stop talking! What did you promise me last night? Come here!"

Xiao Qingxi reluctantly put down the bowl, stood up and walked to her side.

Princess Ning took her daughter's hand and placed it in Shen Wantang's hand.

Shen Wantang didn't react at all, but Xiao Qingxi was so shocked that he quickly tried to pull his hand back.

Unfortunately, Princess Ning held her hand tightly, not allowing her to move: "Xi'er, your sister-in-law is already here, I am here to bear witness for you, if you have anything to say to your sister-in-law, you can say it now."

Xiao Qingxi turned his head away awkwardly, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.

"Xiao Qingxi!"

Princess Ning called her daughter by her full name: "If you still recognize me as your mother, you must obey me this time!"

Xiao Qingxi turned his head back, glanced at Shen Wantang, and then hung his head dejectedly: "Um... I'm sorry, last night I... um... was impulsive and misunderstood you."

Shen Wantang was a little surprised. How did Princess Ning persuade Xiao Qingxi to apologize to her? She originally thought that Princess Ning would apologize on behalf of Xiao Qingxi.

Shen Wantang said calmly: "What did you misunderstand about me? Princess, please explain clearly."

Xiao Qingxi raised his head suddenly and looked at Shen Wantang in disbelief: "Aren't you asking even though you already know the answer?! I've already apologized to you, why are you still so persistent?!"

Princess Ning patted her hands and said, "Qingxi, speak properly."
