Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Pei Linan's eyes widened: "Ah?"

"I should be considered half human and half ghost." After all, he was a man who had died once.

"When did my second cousin start to believe in ghosts and gods?"

"I have believed it for some time."

"Strange, second cousin, you seem to have changed a lot, and I almost don't recognize you. You actually like a woman, and a woman who is already married to someone else. Second cousin, when did you start to like her?"

"I liked her in my previous life."

"My second cousin has drunk too much and started talking nonsense. How can people have a previous life?"

"You don't, but I do."

"Why do you have it and I don't?"

"I am more handsome than you, and you are as thin as a skeleton. Even if I give you several lives, you will be useless. So I just ask you to live only one life. Any more will be a waste."

"Tsk, that seems to make sense!"

Pei Linan said as he wrapped the blanket tightly around himself.

He felt the biting cold wind, the effect of the strong medicine began to diminish, and the sense of strength it brought was also disappearing. It was becoming increasingly difficult and painful for him to sit. His frail body could hardly maintain even basic body temperature.

However, he didn't want to leave. He thought his second cousin was so interesting and it was so fun to talk to him. He hadn't been so happy in a long, long time.

"Second cousin, I don't want to go back to the Prince's Mansion. I'll stay at your house and continue to drink and chat with you tomorrow. Is that okay?"

Pei Linan looked at him with a pitiful expression. This trick of his always worked. No one could resist the pleading of a dying man.

Unfortunately, Gu Qianhan didn't buy it. He was still indifferent and cold: "No, go to your Prince's Mansion and die, don't die here."

Pei Linan's face was full of regret: "I originally wanted to live in my second cousin's yard, but now I can't. I'll come back to live there in my next life! Second cousin, do you think I will have a next life?"

Gu Qianhan: "I can't carry anything on my shoulders or hands, and I have to use a wheelchair to travel. I have to take strong medicine in advance, otherwise I will die in an instant. What do I do with a medicine jar in my next life? If I don't drink enough medicine, I have to drink it for the rest of my life?"

Pei Linan: “…”

"My second cousin is such a good speaker. After listening to him, I was enlightened and I don't even want to live this life anymore!"

Gu Qianhan nodded: "The sooner you report to the King of Hell, the sooner your aunt can stop worrying about it. It will be good for everyone."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Pei Linan looked at his back, shivering with cold, and called his servant with a light smile: "Changsheng, let's go."

"Master, are you going back to the Prince's Mansion?"

"It's so boring to go back to the Prince's Mansion. I won't go back."

"Where to go?"

"Of course I'll stay at the Duke's Mansion."

"Ah? But, the Second Young Master just said that you can't stay here!"

"Are you stupid? My second cousin doesn't want me to live here, so why should I not live here? He even told me to die, so am I going to die too? Just listen to what my second cousin says, don't take it seriously. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and he still loves me very much in his heart."

Changsheng looked disapproving.

He didn't think the Second Young Master loved his little prince. It's possible for anyone to have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, except Gu Qianhan. He was consistent in his words and deeds, with a cold face and a cold heart.

"What are you still standing there for? Push me to my aunt's place. I'm freezing and can't even sit still."

Changsheng responded and quickly pushed him to find Mrs. Gu.

When Madam Gu saw Pei Lin'an, she asked straight to the point: "Lin'an, what do you think of the Crown Prince's Consort in Prince Ning's Mansion?"

Pei Linan nodded: "Very good!"

"How about I snatch her away and make her your wife?"

Pei Linan looked shocked: "What are you talking about, aunt? How can this be possible? Didn't I tell you that I won't get married, so as not to drag down the girl. Besides, the prince's wife has already married into the Ning Wang Mansion. It's not appropriate for us to snatch her away, right?"

"Don't worry, let me tell you slowly."

Madam Gu told all of Xiao Qingyuan's absurd stories, and also told him about his repeated attempts to divorce his wife. Finally, she said, "The Ning Wang Mansion is a hellhole, otherwise the Ning Wang Consort would not have chosen a concubine's daughter of a lowly family background to be the Crown Prince's consort."

"Who in a decent family would be willing to send their daughter to Prince Ning's mansion? Xiao Qingyuan even became a monk for a woman of questionable character. Princess Ning really had no other choice, so she chose Shen Wantang."

"But don't worry, I have checked it carefully. Although Shen Wantang is from an ordinary family, her appearance and demeanor are first-class, her temperament is good, and her character is excellent. She is also proficient in medicine, and she will definitely take good care of you in the future."

Pei Linan smiled bitterly: "If she is really as good as my aunt said, then I can't delay her. Aunt, forget it, don't worry about me anymore."

"If I don't worry about you, who else should I worry about? You are not a child anymore, it's time for you to start a family."

"Aunt can worry about my second cousin!"

"Qianhan?"

Mrs. Gu's mind flashed with her son's cold face. She shook her head and said, "Your second cousin is a ghost. Even I am afraid of him. He despised the maid I arranged for him. He accepted the maid in front of her and then gave her to your cousin. If I arrange a girl for him to marry, it would be strange if he agreed."

Pei Linan looked innocent: "Didn't my aunt say that the Crown Prince's Consort is pretty good? Why not just snatch her away and give her to my second cousin!"

Madam Gu was stunned: "How can that be possible? Shen Wantang is already married. Your second cousin is not suitable for her."

Pei Linan's expression changed instantly. He felt extremely wronged, with tears in his eyes. "It turns out that my aunt doesn't think highly of Shen Wantang at all. She thinks that my second brother is wronged for marrying her. It's appropriate for me to marry her, right?"

Mrs. Gu panicked: "No, no, no, don't think about it, that's not what I meant!"

Pei Linan burst into tears: "My aunt lied to me. I thought she was the person who loved me the most in the world, but it turns out she wasn't. Even the woman she picked for me was not worthy of my second cousin. I, I might as well die."

Madam Gu was in a state of confusion. She hurriedly tried to comfort her nephew, "What nonsense are you talking about? What's the point of talking about life and death? Who said your second cousin doesn't like Shen Wantang? He does!"

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

"Then aunt, please snatch the person away. I'm waiting to attend my second cousin's wedding. If I attend the wedding, I'll be so happy that I might even live a few more years!"

Mrs. Gu: "..."

Oh no, how did she get herself into this mess?

It would have been fine if she had gotten herself into trouble, but she also got her son involved!

What's worse is that her son will never listen to her! He already has someone he likes!

Pei Linan hugged Madam Gu's arm with his skinny hands. He looked at her with wet eyes like a puppy: "Aunt, why are you silent? Are you lying to me again? My second cousin doesn't like Shen Wantang at all. Do you like her too?"
