Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 565 Thank you, Prince, for sending me a maid

Qi didn't expect that Shen Wantang would dare to come back and complain. You know, no matter how much harm she had done to Shen Wantang in the past, she never said a word!

She slandered Shen Wantang, but Shen Wantang never explained in front of Shen Guannian, and she didn't dare to complain, because if she did, her life would become even more difficult, and she might even have no food to eat!

It was the same this time. When Qi heard Shen Wantang complaining, she was not afraid at all. After all, Shen Guannian only trusted her and would not trust Shen Wantang.

She looked like she was wronged and said, "Master, how can you believe Tang'er's one-sided words? This girl always loves to lie. She never tells the truth. Don't be fooled by her."

"I'm very careful in everything I do at Prince Ning's Mansion, fearing that I might say something wrong and anger the princess. How could I possibly say something so irrelevant?"

"Since Tang'er is turning the tables and putting all the blame on me, I won't cover up for her. In fact, it was Tang'er who let the cat out of the bag, saying that she liked the Duke's wife and the second son of Gu more, and also said how much the Duke's wife liked her and was grateful to her. She praised the Duke's wife openly and secretly and put down the princess, which angered the princess and caused us to be kicked out."

Shen Guannian's gloomy eyes fell on Shen Wantang again: "Is that what your mother said? Did you brag in front of the princess that the Duke's wife liked you, and made the princess disgusted?"

Shen Wantang's eyes were red as she shook her head: "My daughter didn't say anything. Mother is slandering me. She slandered me in Prince Ning's mansion, and she slandered me in front of my father again when she came back. I really don't know how I offended my mother to make her punish me to death like this."

Qi sneered, "Tang'er, stop pretending. You are just like your aunt who died early. You have a foxy face and are as cunning as a fox. But these tricks are useless in front of your father. Your father is very perceptive and knows the big picture. He will never be fooled by you!"

Shen Guannian had no intention of paying attention to Qi's flattery. He took a step forward, grabbed Shen Wantang's collar, and almost lifted her up with one hand: "Little beast! Tell me! Did you offend the princess?! If the Shen family can't get the marriage with Ning Wangfu, I will drown you with my own hands!"

"Speak up! Why on earth are you doing this? You dare to offend Princess Ning before anything has happened with the Duke's Mansion? You are so arrogant, I will skin you alive!"

Shen Wantang's face turned red from being strangled, but she refused to say a word. She just looked at Shen Guannian with a pair of aggrieved and disappointed eyes, with big tears falling down.

She was a little surprised. Why didn't Xiao Qingyuan come yet? Did her plan not work?

It shouldn’t be!

Just as the stalemate was about to begin, a blue figure rushed over and pushed Shen Guannian away.

Shen Guannian took a closer look and was horrified: "Prince Xiao?! Why... why are you here?"

Xiao Qingyuan sneered: "Master Shen, if I hadn't come, would you have strangled your daughter to death? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, and you are more vicious than a tiger!"

Shen Guannian's face changed several times: "Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. I usually treat Tang'er very well. This time I heard that she angered the princess, so I was anxious and did this..."

"When did Shen Wantang anger my mother?"

"Ah? No, no?"

Xiao Qingyuan glanced at Qi and saw that Qi didn't dare to look him in the eye. He immediately sneered: "No wonder Lord Shen can only be a fifth-rank official. You even ruined the fifth-rank official position. It turns out you are really stupid!"

Shen Guannian was called stupid by a junior, and his face was a little embarrassed: "What do you mean, my lord?"

"You figure out what I mean! You are so stupid that you even have to ask me this. Don't you have a brain? No wonder Shen Mingxuan is stupid and bad. It turns out it's all your fault!"

Xiao Qingyuan cursed impatiently, turned around and walked to Shen Wantang: "Where is your ability? Why don't you use it to deal with your vicious stepmother? My mother and father have been taken advantage of by you. You treat you better than me, your own son, but how come you can't handle your own father?"

Shen Wantang raised his head and looked at him with his mouth open, "Prince, why are you talking nonsense again?"

Xiao Qingyuan waved his hand: "Alright, alright, I know you don't remember those at all. However, I see that you seem to like the maids in our palace very much. When you were leaving, you were reluctant to talk to them. Could it be that you don't remember me, but remember them?"

Shen Wantang shook her head repeatedly: "Your Highness has misunderstood. I just lost my handkerchief and wanted to ask them if they had seen it. I only met them once when I went to the palace last time, and I am not familiar with them."

"Haha, not familiar with them? You are kidding, you are too familiar with them!"

"Sir, I'm really not familiar with your maid!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I don't care whether you are familiar with each other or not. I just don't like them. And if I keep them in the palace, I will easily think of you when I see them. When I think of you, I will be unhappy! So, I decided to give them all to you!"

Xiao Qingyuan said, clapping his hands: "Mo Ji, bring everyone in!"

Mo Ji came in in response: "Prince, here we come!"

Behind Mo Ji, there were four maids with the same clothes and hairstyles.

When they saw Shen Wantang, the four of them saluted in unison:

"Your servant Qin Xin greets the Second Young Lady."

"Your servant Qi Yu greets the Second Young Lady."

"Your servant Shuxiang greets the Second Young Lady."

"Your servant Huayi greets the Second Young Lady."

When Shen Wantang saw Qin Xin and the others, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud, and the tears that she had just managed to hold back disappeared with joy.

Before leaving, she deliberately talked to Qin Xin and the others in front of Xiao Qingyuan, and even pretended not to see it when she made Xiao Qingyuan unhappy, just to arouse Xiao Qingyuan's painful memories of his previous life.

Finally, her efforts were not in vain, as Xiao Qingyuan sent the person here. Although she didn't want Huayi, as long as Qinxin and the others could come, having one more Huayi wouldn't be a big deal.

Shen Wantang was secretly happy when Xiao Qingyuan took out four indentures from his pocket and stuffed them all at once: "Hey, let me tell you, the first one is the one called Qin Xin. You used to like her the most, but I hate her the most!"

"She is just like you. She is not afraid of me at all. She relies on your protection to make trouble for me every day! I dream of selling her out!"

"But I am kindhearted, and I will not let the debts from my past life be settled in this life, so I did not sell her off, but sent her to you specially. Why don't you thank me?"

Shen Wantang said sincerely: "Thank you, my lord, for giving me a maid."

Xiao Qingyuan has a lot of shortcomings, but he does have the advantage of not holding grudges. No matter how badly others have offended him, as long as they say a few nice words to him, he will almost forget the hatred.

When Xiao Qingyuan heard her thank you, he felt a lot better. Besides, several annoying maids were sent away, and he was very happy!

He waved his hand casually: "I'm leaving now. You guys can keep quarreling and making trouble. If you are really strangled to death by your father, send someone to the palace to tell him. I will collect your body for the sake of our being husband and wife in the previous life, and I won't let you become a wandering ghost!"
