Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingyuan was supported by Mrs. Gu and followed her into the front hall very reluctantly. After he sat down, he felt pain in his internal organs, bones, skin and flesh all over his body!

Only after being beaten like this by Gu Qianhan today did he realize that Gu Qianhan had held back when beating him before!

Today, he was beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back!

He really wanted to curse, but Mrs. Gu kept apologizing, so he had to swallow all the dirty words in his heart for the time being.

Because he respected Mrs. Gu, just like Gu Qianhan respected his mother. No matter how they fought, they still had to show basic etiquette towards their elders.

Madam Gu obviously wanted to settle the feud between the two. While she was wiping the blood off Xiao Qingyuan with a handkerchief, she said, "You are here to ask for a maid, right? Don't worry, I will ask someone to send her back to the palace for you. I will never let Qianhan keep her without permission."

"I didn't know he had snatched your maid away before, otherwise I would have sent her back to you a long time ago. If you feel it's not enough, you can choose any maid from the Duke's Mansion, take whichever one you like!"

"Madame Chang, hurry up and call all the maids I prepared for Qianhan, so that the prince can choose!"

Xiao Qingyuan endured the excruciating pain and waved his hand: "Madam, there is no need to do this. I just need to bring back my own maid. The palace is not short of maids. I don't need Gu Qianhan's maid."

"If he hadn't been so bullying, I wouldn't have brought my guards to your house today. I'm not fighting for a maid, I'm just fighting for my dignity!"

"Please bring my maid here, Madam. I will take her away from the Duke's Mansion right away!"

How could Madam Gu let him go like this? She asked him to go back to the palace when he was so injured. Prince Ning and Princess Ning didn't know how heartbroken and angry they should be.

No matter what, we must first find an imperial physician to treat Xiao Qingyuan's injuries and change his clothes. He is now covered in blood and looks really scary.

While comforting Xiao Qingyuan, she asked the nanny to urge the imperial physician. After a while, she scolded her son for going too far.

After scolding his son, the imperial physician finally arrived.

Fortunately, his son's attack was moderate. Although Xiao Qingyuan's face was bruised and swollen, which looked scary, he had no broken bones and only suffered superficial injuries.

After the imperial physician had treated all his injuries, he called over Xiao Qingyuan's maid, who helped him change his clothes and tie his hair again. He looked much better.

Madam Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sent her personal nanny to send Xiao Qingyuan back to Prince Ning's Mansion. She also asked the nanny to send medicinal herbs and supplements on her behalf to apologize to Prince Ning's wife.

Previously, when Xiao Qingyuan wrongly accused Gu Qianhan of humiliating Chu Yanluo, Princess Ning had sent her personal nanny to apologize to her. Mrs. Gu did not expect that the situation would change and now it was her turn to apologize to Princess Ning.

After sending Xiao Qingyuan away, Madam Gu's face darkened. She looked at her son and said coldly, "Kneel down!"

Gu Qianhan lifted up his skirt and knelt down calmly.

"What's wrong with you lately?! When you snatched Chu Yanluo before, I thought you were just acting on impulse and didn't say anything to you. But now you're snatching Xiao Qingyuan's maid. You're really capable! Tell me, what are you after?!"

"Mother, please calm down. I was just impulsive this time and I didn't intend to do anything. I just don't like Xiao Qingyuan and want to disgust him."

Madam Gu couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand: "It's fine if you disgust him, but how could you beat him like that! How can I explain this to Princess Ning? And how can your aunt explain this to the Emperor?"

"This is a small matter that has nothing to do with my aunt. It was Xiao Qingyuan who first led the guards to break into our Duke's Mansion today. Isn't it normal for me to beat him? If this matter is made public, we are in the right."

"You've already robbed his maid, and you still think you're right?!"

"Didn't you return it to me?"

Gu Qianhan sighed slightly: "But, in fact, it would be better if mother didn't return the maid. Maybe Princess Ning would be happier."

Mrs. Gu looked at her son with suspicion. She felt that her son's robbery of the maid this time was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

She had just seen the maid. Although she had a pretty appearance, she was not particularly stunning. At least the two maids she gave to her son last time were more beautiful than Xiao Qingyuan's maid.

But the two maids were thrown to the daughter by the son without hesitation.

Mrs. Gu understands her son. He really doesn't care about women. This is the same for all the men in the Gu family.

She vaguely felt that everything her son did today seemed to have been planned, but she couldn't guess what her son was planning.

This son has been a child prodigy since childhood, extremely intelligent, and never requires her to worry about him.

She indeed devoted very little effort to this son. She put almost all her energy into her eldest son and daughter, because her eldest son and daughter were much more ordinary in talent and needed more teaching and guidance.

But Gu Qianhan didn't need these, so over the years, Mrs. Gu somewhat neglected her son.

People outside thought that she would favor her genius son Gu Qianhan more, but the fact was just the opposite. She actually rarely cared about what happened in Gu Qianhan's room.

Mrs. Gu actually felt regretful in her heart. She thought that if she had cared more about her son, he would not have become like this, snatching other people's maids just for a prideful dispute.

However, her son's behavior made her feel that he actually had an ordinary side and he also had emotions and desires, but he had suppressed all of these in the past.

"Get up!"

Madam Gu was afraid that her son's knees would hurt, so she didn't want him to kneel for too long. "This kind of thing will not happen again. Tomorrow you will go with me to Prince Ning's mansion to apologize to Princess Ning."

Gu Qianhan stood up and responded calmly: "Okay, I'll listen to mother."

Madam Gu was surprised: "Are you willing to apologize? Aren't you afraid of losing face? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed by Princess Ning?"

"You dare to do it, and I don't feel ashamed. What's more, how can I let my mother face the trouble I caused alone? Besides, Princess Ning is a reasonable person, she will not embarrass my son."

Mrs. Gu didn't know what to say for a moment. Her genius son always found a way to calm her anger. He was so sensible and filial that she was unable to say the next words.

She hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Qianhan, you should get married. If you still like the daughter of Liuge's old family, I will ask someone to propose marriage, how about it?"

Gu Qianhan said indifferently: "Mother, I have already said that I don't like the daughter of Liuge's old family. Please don't match us up again."

"But you have to get married. If you don't like this one, then mother will find you another one."

"No need, my son doesn't care about any of them."

After Gu Qianhan finished speaking, he turned and left.

Mrs. Gu was not surprised by her son's answer, and she also believed that her son really looked down on those ordinary girls. After all, he was a genius that ordinary people could hardly reach.

She turned to look at her daughter: "A Ning, you seem to be getting close to your second brother recently. Have you noticed that he treats any girl differently?"
