Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 767 The Effect of Secret Medicine

Gu Qianhan's face turned pale when he heard this. He didn't expect that his sister's guess was correct and Meng Yunlan was so vicious.

I just don’t know if Shen Wantang has guessed what Meng Yunlan is thinking since even my sister has guessed it.

She probably guessed it, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry just because Meng Yunlan pulled him twice.

"Besides this, did you ask anything else?"

"Yes, the eldest young lady feels that the second young lady's family background is too low and she is not worthy of you, so she wants to give her cousin to you as a concubine."

"Her cousin? Which one?"

"It's the one who just came into the mansion, his name is Qiao Zhiyu."

Gu Qianhan frowned. He thought that Meng Yunlan felt that Shen Wantang was not worthy of him and wanted to find him a woman from a higher family background, so he didn't even think about Qiao Zhiyu.

Qiao Zhiyu's background makes her a good match for him? It turns out that in Meng Yunlan's heart, he can only be matched with someone like Qiao Zhiyu.

I'm afraid that Meng Yunlan is just like his mother. They don't think that he is unworthy of a noble lady, but they are unwilling to let him marry one. Otherwise, if he gets the help of the powerful Yue family, they will be so frightened that they can't sleep.

"However, Second Young Master, don't worry. Qiao Zhiyu is afraid of your cold reputation and doesn't dare to approach you. Moreover, the one she loves is probably the eldest young master. Her purpose in living in the Duke's Mansion this time is to get close to the eldest young master and become his concubine."

Gu Qianhan said indifferently: "I think Meng Yunlan is just too idle, so she still has the mind to find a concubine for me. Why not let her get busy first!"

"What do you mean, Master?"

"It's not just Meng Yunlan who has a cousin, but my eldest brother does too. Send someone to go to my uncle's place and bring Pei Yingzhu over."

Wu Mu was shocked. Inviting Pei Yingzhu to live here? Wouldn't this cause chaos in the Duke's Mansion?

But he didn't dare to question his master's decision, so he immediately responded and withdrew.

"Fukuzawa."

"Little is here!"

"Send Meng Yunlan's people back to her."

"Yes."

"When I send them off, I'll make a big noise so that those gossipy servants in the mansion can see how I deal with Meng Yunlan's people. I think that way no one will say that I have a good relationship with Meng Yunlan, right?"

Fu Ze hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir. You don't like the eldest young lady, nor do you like her people. I will make sure that everyone in the mansion knows about such an important matter!"

Gu Qianhan nodded, stood up and left.

When I returned to Qionghuayuan, Shen Wantang had already fallen asleep.

He quietly took off his coat, got on the bed, and held her in his arms.

Shen Wantang was clearly still asleep. She pushed him away. Without even opening her eyes, she turned over with her back to him and said lazily, "Shouldn't you go to the study to sleep? Who told you to come back?"

Gu Qianhan carried her back without a care in the world and clung to her. "I'm here to apologize to my wife. How can I ask her to sleep in the study? Besides, if I continue to sleep in the study, others will think that you and I are not getting along. I can't give them that kind of handle."

Shen Wantang said in a nonchalant tone, "It's okay. I have so many handles on you, one more won't make a difference. But if you sleep next to me, I won't be able to rest well, and that will have a big impact. So, you should sleep in the study."

"Madam, you are so cruel! It's so cold, and you let me sleep in the study. Aren't you afraid that I'll get sick from the cold?"

Shen Wantang was hugged by him, her back pressed against his chest. She could feel the scorching heat coming from his body. He was like a furnace. It would be strange if she got sick from the cold.

Besides, there was a quilt in the study, he was just being unreasonable with her.

Shen Wantang was very sleepy, and she had important things to do tomorrow. She needed to get enough sleep, and she was too lazy to argue with him, so she tacitly agreed to his coming back to sleep.

Gu Qianhan was originally waiting for her to teach him a lesson, and he even prepared the words of apology. Unexpectedly, after a while, the person in his arms began to breathe evenly.

He called her softly, "Atang?"

no respond.

Gu Qianhan looked at the back of her head helplessly: "You fell asleep so quickly and slept so soundly. I was worried for nothing. Your heart is bigger than I thought."

Shen Wantang didn't hear anything at all and slept soundly.

-

Yuluyuan.

Meng Yunlan was very dissatisfied because Gu Qianling failed to bring the person back.

She was accusing Gu Qianling of being incompetent. He was the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, but he was suppressed by his younger brother. He couldn't even get a maid or a nanny back. It was so embarrassing!

After she finished her accusation, she was about to go to Mrs. Gu to make the decision for her when Fu Ze arrived.

"My humble self, Fu Ze, greets the eldest young master and the eldest young lady."

Meng Yunlan was displeased: "Why do you come to our courtyard if you don't serve the Second Young Master well?"

"Madam, I'm here to send someone off for you."

"what?!"

"Someone, bring in Nanny Ping and Shancha. They are the closest people to the eldest young lady, and we can't afford to lose them."

Meng Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Gu Qianhan still gave her face and sent the person back to her so quickly.

But when she saw the appearance of Mammy Ping and Shancha, her expression changed drastically: "Mammy, Shancha! What's wrong with you?! Fuze, did you torture them?"

Fuze waved his hands quickly: "Oh, what is the eldest young lady talking about? Our second young master is such a good person, why would he torture them?"

"Then why are they covered in blood?!"

Fuze said cheerfully: "It's all chicken blood, just to scare them. If you don't believe me, Madam, you can ask someone to check it out. I guarantee there won't be any injuries at all."

"Then why are they all unconscious? Didn't you knock them out?"

"I already said I didn't torture them, so of course I didn't beat them. Don't worry, Madam. I just fed them a few bowls of secret medicine."

"Secret medicine? What secret medicine? I think it's poison! The poison that killed them!"

"Don't be angry, Madam. What I said is true. It is indeed a secret medicine. They are unconscious because of some aftereffects of the secret medicine. They will be fine after a few days of rest."

"What secret medicine can cause a person to fall into a coma? You are clearly talking nonsense and deceiving me!"

"I don't know what the secret medicine is exactly. After all, I'm just an errand boy, but I do know the effect of the secret medicine."

"What does it do?"

Fuze grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth: "It can make people tell the truth."

Meng Yunlan's expression changed again: "What?!"

Even Gu Qianling, who had been silent, changed his expression.

Fukuzawa seemed oblivious to the sudden change in the couple's expressions. He maintained a good-tempered demeanor. "Yes, you heard correctly. That secret medicine can make people unable to tell a single lie. They'll answer anything you ask. It's very effective! I heard that the Ministry of Justice uses this secret medicine to treat certain prisoners with special identities!"
