Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

While Shen Wantang was sizing up Chu Yanluo, the maid Qin Xin had already stepped forward to stop him: "Who let you in? Our Crown Prince's Consort is busy looking at the housekeeper's account book and is not seeing guests. Please go back!"

Chu Yanluo raised her head, glanced at Qin Xin with disdain, and then said in an arrogant tone: "Shen Wantang is not the Crown Prince's Consort. The Crown Prince has never opened her veil, and has never consummated his marriage with her. She is nothing! I am the Crown Prince's true love, and the position of the Crown Prince's Consort belongs to me!"

"Qin Xin, if you have any sense, you should kneel down and beg for my forgiveness immediately. Otherwise, when I become the Crown Prince's consort and my housekeeper, you will be sold to Chichun Lane and you will never be able to escape until you die!"

Chichun Lane is where lower-class men buy prostitution. It is a paradise for poor men and a hell for poor women.

For just ten cents, a man can pick any woman he wants and torture her without any scruples.

The entire alley was filled with poor women who had nowhere to go. Pitiful screams were often heard from there, and female corpses with festering bodies and no clothes were often carried out.

Qin Xin never imagined that Chu Yanluo, who looked ethereal, cold and arrogant, was actually so vicious and cruel in her heart!

She thought that even if Chu Yanluo hated her, she would at most drive her out of the house. She didn't expect that she would actually sell her to Chichun Lane!

Chu Yanluo isn’t even the Crown Prince’s Consort yet, yet she dares to be so arrogant. What would happen if she really became the Crown Prince’s Consort of Prince Ning’s Mansion?

Qin Xin gnashed her teeth and said, "You are just a concubine of the prince. You used some tricks to get the prince to take you into the palace. You don't think you can become the prince's legal wife overnight? What are you daydreaming about? With your appearance, you will be embarrassed if you go out. You will never become the prince's consort!"

Chu Yanluo's face darkened: "Get lost, you are just a lowly maid, how dare you talk to me? You will suffer in the future!"

She pushed Qin Xin away and went straight into the house.

Then, she looked at Shen Wantang's face and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, so you look like this, no wonder the prince is so polite to you, after all this fuss, it turns out it's because you look a bit like me!"

Just as Nanny Chai was about to step forward to chase them away, she was stopped by Shen Wantang.

She looked at Chu Yanluo calmly: "Are you going to sell my maid?"

Chu Yanluo seemed to be in her own house. She touched the things in the house casually and said, "Yes, a servant like her who committed treason should be sold off, lest she stay in the mansion and corrupt the atmosphere. I think you are not good at managing the household at all. You have made the whole mansion a mess. It's really unlucky. I will have to clean up the mess for you in the future. Why don't you take the initiative to leave now?"

Shen Wantang sat still, "It's not your place to say whether I can be a housekeeper or not. It's not your place to sell my maid. She just handled it properly. She didn't commit any offense. She was neither humble nor overbearing. Madam Chai, Qinxin performed well. Reward her!"

Madam Chai immediately took out the silver and handed it to Qin Xin: "Qin Xin, the Crown Prince's Consort has a reward!"

Qin Xin took the heavy silver and bowed happily: "This servant thanks the Crown Prince's Consort!"

Shen Wantang nodded at her, his eyes filled with pity and tenderness.

If she remembered correctly, in her previous life, Qin Xin was indeed sold to Chichun Lane by Chu Yanluo. Not only her, but also Qi Yu, Shu Xiang and Hua Yi were sold there as well.

Just because Shen Mingxuan was competing with Chu Yanluo and Chu Yanluo was at a disadvantage for a while, she got angry and took all four maids around Shen Mingxuan to herself. After getting their indentures from Xiao Qingyuan, she sold them to Chichun Lane.

All the maids and nannies that Shen Mingxuan brought from the Shen family as a dowry died inexplicably. She once went back to the Shen family and cursed Chu Yanluo, saying that she killed people without spilling blood and was a vicious woman. She also said that if she died one day, it would be Chu Yanluo's fault.

So, she decided to take action first. She asked Qi for a few capable maids and nannies. Not long after returning to Prince Ning's Mansion, Chu Yanluo fell into the water and drowned during an outing.

After living a new life, the four maids, Qin, Qi, Shu and Hua, have become Shen Wantang's people. Naturally, they don't know their fate in the previous life, and Shen Wantang will not let them know. She will not let the four beautiful girls repeat the tragedy of the previous life.

Since they have become her personal maids, she naturally has to protect their peace in this life.

Her voice became a little cold: "Miss Chu, if you are fine, please leave. It is not up to you to decide whether my maid should leave or stay. You cannot take the things in my room away even if you touch them many times."

Chu Yanluo's hand froze as she touched the golden nanmu chair.

But she quickly regained her pride and said, "These things will all be mine in the future. I just took a look at them in advance. Why are you so upset?"

"I'm not feeling sorry for you, I just think your hands are dirty."

"What did you say?! My hands are dirty? My hands are much cleaner than your mouth! I think you are the heart!"

Chu Yanluo said arrogantly: "Only those with a heart will see everything as dirty! Also, you are imitating me, trying to make the prince like you! I tell you, it's impossible. Even if you look like me, the prince will never like you. He will like me in this life, the next life, and the next life!"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Shen Wantang's heart skipped a beat when Chu Yanluo mentioned the previous life.

Did she say this unconsciously, or did she really have a previous life?

A lot of changes have taken place in Prince Ning’s Mansion in this life. Chu Yanluo even arrived at the mansion more than a year earlier. Could it be that all this has something to do with her?

Shen Wantang looked at Chu Yanluo calmly and made up a story: "If there is a past life and a next life, the prince must have liked me."

Chu Yanluo sneered and said, "Don't dream. The prince loved me in his last life, and it will be me in his next life. You are nothing at all. In fact, you couldn't even marry the prince, right?"

Shen Wantang looked shocked: "How do you know that I couldn't marry the prince?"

"Why are you so surprised? I naturally heard it from outside. Wasn't your good sister Shen Mingxuan originally going to marry into the palace? But then she suddenly changed her mind, and you became the Crown Prince's Consort."

Shen Wantang's pretended astonishment gradually faded away.

Although Chu Yanluo concealed it very well, Shen Wantang had lived a lifetime and was more sensitive to many details than others.

What Chu Yanluo knew was definitely not what she heard from outsiders, but what she experienced personally. Only because she had experienced it personally could she be so sure.

Shen Wantang has confirmed that Chu Yanluo has also been reborn.
