Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingyuan felt that his brain was not enough. He looked at Shen Wantang and couldn't help thinking, is she really that good? Even Mrs. Gu, who met her for the first time, wanted to snatch her away?

Is he crazy, or is Mrs. Gu crazy?

What Xiao Qingyuan couldn't understand, Princess Ning saw clearly.

She knew that the reason why Madam Gu threw away her dignity and wanted to snatch Shen Wantang away was because she was attracted by Shen Wantang's personality and medical skills.

Naturally, there are many girls with good personalities in the capital, and there are also a few who have some knowledge of medicine.

However, there are very few people who can combine the two.

I guess Mrs. Gu was watching Shen Wantang treating Gu Qianhan's wound just now. She was meticulous and patient, and handled the wound very well.

She was not hesitant because of the difference between men and women. She calmly and generously took out the thin porcelain pieces for Gu Qianhan. This alone was something that many women in the capital could not do.

In addition, she had just decided to sell the maid without any hesitation and buy a new maid for Xiao Qingyuan, and her hidden aura was revealed a little.

She is reserved when she should be, and strong when she should be. She is indeed very suitable for the frail Pei Linan.

It's no surprise that Mrs. Gu was moved by her.

Princess Ning was even afraid that Madam Gu would snatch Shen Wantang away and give her to Gu Qianhan! After all, she had just said that her son liked someone who was calm and intelligent.

"Mrs. Gu is joking."

Princess Ning was too busy scolding her son. She quickly said, "Tang'er is the mistress of our palace. She is the daughter-in-law that the prince and I love so much. How could we bear to let her leave? Madam, don't listen to that bastard's nonsense. He doesn't have the final say on matters related to the palace. Only Tang'er's words count!"

Madam Gu knew that Princess Ning would definitely not be willing to let Shen Wantang go, so she chose Xiao Qingyuan to win her heart.

She had a trace of apology on her face. "I am abrupt, Princess, please don't blame me. It's really because Tang'er is so likable that even I couldn't help but say a few more words. I naturally hope that the prince and the princess will always be in harmony, but if... I mean if, if the prince wants to divorce, Princess, please remember to tell me first."

Princess Ning looked very unhappy and she couldn't even fake a smile.

Mrs. Gu had never been like this before. She always said one thing to one person and another thing to another person. She always maintained her dignity and composure. But today, she doesn't want anything and only wants Shen Wantang!

She really dared to ask for it. Her sick nephew was getting shorter and shorter every day and might pass away at any time. Yet she still wanted her nephew to marry Shen Wantang?

What a beautiful thought!

What are you dreaming about?

None of the doors!

Why doesn’t she let her sick nephew look in the mirror and see if he is worthy of Shen Wantang?

Princess Ning scolded Madam Gu in her heart and drove them away directly: "It's a mess here, so I won't keep Madam here. Madam Quan, hurry up and send Madam and the Second Young Master out!"

Mrs. Gu knew that Princess Ning was unhappy, so she smiled apologetically at her and left with Gu Qianhan.

As soon as she got out, her smile disappeared.

She got on the carriage and said to her son calmly, "Qianhan, I think Xiao Qingyuan and his Crown Prince's Consort won't last long. You're close to him, so keep an eye on him for me in the future. Don't keep snatching concubines and maids. It's boring and it's also beneath our status. Let's just snatch his Crown Prince's Consort!"

Gu Qianhan glanced at her and said, "You are so old, how come you are even more rebellious than me? You even do things like snatching someone's wife?"

"What's the big deal? My great-grandfather accompanied Emperor Gaozu to seize the throne of the previous dynasty. Otherwise, how do you think the Pei family got their county princeship and fiefdom?"

Gu Qianhan: “…”

He didn't realize that his mother actually inherited the Pei family's competitive nature.

In the past, he only thought that his mother was steady and his father was fond of fighting for power. He never expected that his mother and father were actually the same kind of people. No wonder they could get married!

After all the fuss, it turned out that he was the one who was least competitive in the family!

Even his silly sister was taught by their mother to compete to become the Crown Prince's Consort or the Queen!

"Whether it's wealth and glory, or fine clothes and delicious food, if you don't fight for it, others will take it away, and we will have to eat coarse food. Some things and some people should be grabbed without hesitation."

Mrs. Gu spoke in a leisurely tone. She had never taught her second son these things before, so as to prevent him from competing with her eldest son for the title and power.

But today I suddenly discovered that my second son seemed a little timid. He didn't even dare to rob the best things from others, and only dared to rob the unimportant ones. This is not acceptable.

"If Xiao Qingyuan had a good relationship with his Crown Prince's Consort, I would naturally not have such an intention and would not ruin their marriage for no reason. But he has already said that he wants to divorce his wife, so I naturally cannot let others get there first."

"Your sister told me yesterday how wonderful the Crown Prince's Consort was, but I didn't take it too seriously. But when I saw her today, I realized that what your sister said was a bit conservative."

"No wonder the always proud and arrogant Princess Ning is so satisfied with her daughter-in-law. Even a carefree person like Prince Ning can't help showing off his daughter-in-law every day. It turns out that they have picked up a treasure."

"Since Xiao Qingyuan doesn't want this treasure, just give it to us. Your cousin will probably like Shen Wantang very much."

Gu Qianhan looked indifferent and spoke in a cold voice: "Pei Lin'an is already terminally ill. Mother asked Shen Wantang to marry him. Did she want her to be a widow? Pei Lin'an knew that he would not live long, so he refused to marry no matter what, so as not to harm the girl. But mother doesn't care about this?"

Madam Gu glared at him and said, "Nonsense! Your cousin has recovered in the past two years, how come he is so seriously ill? Besides, isn't Shen Wantang an expert in medicine? When she gets married and takes good care of your cousin, maybe he will be able to recover!"

Gu Qianhan said coldly: "Mother, you are deceiving yourself. The imperial physician said Pei Linan would not live past the age of 20. He has been too sick to get out of bed this year. It is exactly as the imperial physician predicted! You are pushing an innocent woman into the fire pit for your own selfish desires."

In his previous life, Pei Linan died at the age of twenty, which is next year.

His time has come!

Madam Gu was a little annoyed: "Why is the Prince's Mansion such a hell? I think it's much better than Prince Ning's Mansion! Your cousin wouldn't divorce his wife for a concubine or a maid like Xiao Qingyuan did. He wouldn't talk about divorce every day and make it known to everyone in the city!"

Gu Qianhan: "He's almost dead, how can he divorce his wife? If he really has a wife, he'd be lucky if she doesn't divorce him!"

"You!! How can you say that about your cousin! Don't you feel sorry for him at all?"

“I don’t feel bad!”
