Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

When Shen Mingxuan heard this voice, her whole body froze.

She turned her head slowly, and then saw the man who had brought her countless nightmares in her previous life, Xiao Qingyuan.

Her face turned paler and paler, and she was overwhelmed by the feeling of fear and suffocation.

In fact, Shen Wantang had seen Xiao Qingyuan coming a long time ago, but she pretended not to see it and allowed Shen Mingxuan to ridicule her.

It was not until Xiao Qingyuan spoke that she stood up with a look of surprise: "My Lord, you are here, but what's the matter?"

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her steadily. Her eyes were slightly red, but there was still a faint and friendly smile on her face, as if she was enduring the bullying but was trying hard.

He actually knew that she would be criticized and laughed at for marrying him, but he didn't expect that outsiders laughed at her, her family members also laughed at her, and even came to her house to mock her, expose her scars, and threaten her.

His willful behavior on their wedding night caused her much more harm than he had imagined.

But she never complained or cried. He knew better than anyone how much he had gone too far, but she was magnanimous and tolerated him. Yesterday, she even sent her maid to help invite an imperial physician for Yan Luo. With the imperial physician's medicine, the bleeding from Yan Luo's body was under control. Otherwise, Yan Luo would have lost his life.

Just for this reason, he will be forever grateful to Shen Wantang.

It’s a bit sad to say that the person he dislikes most in this family, the person he wants to drive out the most, is the only one who is willing to help him save Yan Luo.

He began to admire his mother's vision in selecting people, and also began to respect Shen Wantang.

He apologized very seriously: "I am sorry for you and let you suffer the criticism of others, but don't worry, I will make it up to you in the future, and I will never kill you as others say. I, Xiao Qingyuan, may be a playboy, but I am not the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong. No matter now or in the future, as long as I am here, I will ensure that you are safe and smooth!"

Shen Wantang felt his sincerity, and she smiled and said, "I'll remember what you said, Your Highness. Thank you for taking care of me."

Shen Mingxuan's face was as pale as paper. She looked like she had seen a ghost. "No, it's impossible. How could this happen? How could the prince be good to you? Shouldn't he kill you for Chu Yanluo? Why did everything change? Why?"

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her with a gloomy face: "Who told you that I wanted to kill the Crown Prince's Consort? The rumors outside have become like this? A bunch of fools, spreading rumors and making up stories, it's simply unreasonable!"

"But no matter how fierce the rumors are, as the elder sister of the Crown Prince's wife, you shouldn't come to her house to mock her, let alone tell her those unfounded rumors to scare her! I think you are deliberately provoking her by saying these things, and you have no good intentions!"

"Hmph, who do you think you are? You are the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Ning's Mansion, and you are the one who makes fun of me? Go back to your own home and don't come to our Prince Ning's Mansion. You are so filthy inside that you can easily offend our eyes!"

Shen Mingxuan's face turned even paler, and even her lips turned pale.

She looked at Xiao Qingyuan in shock and fear. In her previous life, he always scolded her mercilessly like this, making her a laughing stock of the entire palace and even the entire capital!

This man had almost tortured her to death. He had an extremely handsome face, but a paranoid and cruel heart!

All the events of her previous life appeared before her one after another. She didn't understand why the man who once hated her so much and wanted to kill her several times and make her give up her position to Chu Yanluo would now be so considerate to Shen Wantang and protect her so much!

No! This is not right! This shouldn't be the case!

The one who married him now was Shen Wantang. He should have cursed Shen Wantang. Why did he curse her? Wasn't she already married to Liao Youhe? Why did she have to be cursed by Xiao Qingyuan?

She screamed in her heart, but no sound came out of her throat. She couldn't even open her mouth. She was so terrified!

All experiences from the previous life were overturned, and everything deviated from its original track!

While she was jealous of Shen Wantang, she began to fear her own choice. Since Xiao Qingyuan had changed, would Liao Youhe change? Could she really follow Liao Youhe and enjoy wealth and glory and be envied by everyone?

Xiao Qingyuan looked at Shen Mingxuan with disgust. For some reason, he felt that this woman was very unpleasant to the eye and he always had the urge to kick her out.

However, he at least remembered that Shen Mingxuan was Shen Wantang's elder sister. Even for Shen Wantang's sake, he couldn't kick her out. Otherwise, who knows what kind of absurd and ridiculous rumors would spread in the capital tomorrow.

He coldly ordered Madam Chai: "Madam, send him away! Don't let such despicable and shameless people in again!"

However, Nanny Chai did not obey his order immediately as she did in the past. Instead, she turned to look at Shen Wantang, waiting for her instructions.

Xiao Qingyuan paused, then touched his nose with slight embarrassment. He had forgotten that Nanny Chai was no longer his. He could not order her around. Only Shen Wantang could order her around.

Shen Wantang nodded to Madam Chai: "Madam, please send my sister out!"

"Yes, Crown Princess."

Madam Chai then walked up to Shen Mingxuan and said indifferently, "Madam Shen, please come in."

Shen Mingxuan walked out step by step, trembling. When she was about to go out, she couldn't help but look back and look at Xiao Qingyuan.

He had an extraordinarily handsome appearance and an extremely noble temperament. In her previous life, she had only seen him once but had fallen in love with him. Later, after she married him, she had been deeply in love with him for many years.

In order to win his favor, she used all means to deal with Chu Yanluo and tried her best to please Xiao Qingyuan.

Unfortunately, in the ten years they had been married in her previous life, he had never said a nice word to her, let alone smiled at her. He only felt disgust towards her.

But now, he actually smiled at Shen Wantang!

From a short distance, she saw Xiao Qingyuan lowering his head, looking at Shen Wantang intently, and whispering something to her.

She couldn't hear their whispers, but she saw Shen Wantang handing him a box, and after Xiao Qingyuan took the box and took a look at it, he smiled at her.

She really wanted to know what was in the box that could make the usually stern Prince Ning smile. Unfortunately, Nanny Chai did not give her a chance to see and dragged her out.

In the room, Xiao Qingyuan tightly grasped the box, looking at the glittering silver ingots inside. For the first time, he felt that silver was so beautiful and so appealing.

He couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips: "Shen Wantang, thank you very much, don't worry, this money is just a loan from me, I will pay you back double in the future."

Shen Wantang glanced at him and saw that his clothes were buttoned incorrectly and his hair was a little crooked. She did not remind him but just smiled and teased him, "Sir, don't you think gold and silver are vulgar?"
