Chapter 543: Laws of Rebirth
Chapter 543: Laws of Rebirth
Princess Ning showed up only when most of the ladies from various families had arrived.
Because they came here under the pretext of enjoying flowers and drinking tea, each family brought their own flowers. As soon as Princess Ning showed up, the girls came forward one after another holding flowers, saying auspicious words while giving flowers to Princess Ning.
Princess Ning would also give a return gift based on the flowers given. Most of the girls received a box of snacks and a velvet flower that was only available in the palace. Only Shen Wantang received a jade hairpin more than others.
Princess Ning even pulled Shen Wantang aside to talk a few more words, asking her what books she had read and testing her on "Instructions for Women" and "Training for Women".
When Shen Mingxuan saw that she was favored by Princess Ning, her eyes turned red with jealousy.
The other girls also looked at Shen Wantang with different expressions, some were jealous, some were sarcastic, and some were pitying.
Shen Wantang did not take these looks seriously. Just like in her previous life, she answered Princess Ning's questions in a proper manner, neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impatient.
After answering the questions and receiving the return gift, Shen Wantang returned to sit next to Qi with his head lowered.
Her manners and manners are naturally impeccable.
Princess Ning nodded in satisfaction, and said pointedly: "I like girls who are obedient and polite. This is the daughter of a good family. Unlike some girls, they have no rules at all. They have thrown all their sense of propriety, righteousness, and integrity to the dogs, and are despised by people!"
Everyone present knew that she was scolding Chu Yanluo, who had recently become very popular in the capital.
Of course, Chu Yanluo was despised and ridiculed by countless people. Everyone knew that she was not a good person, but Prince Xiao just liked her. Who could say that he was a good person?
Which good man likes someone like Chu Yanluo?
Several families had to come today because they did not want to offend Prince Ning and Princess Ning. Among the people present, not many really wanted to marry Xiao Qingyuan.
The Ning Wang Mansion is indeed invaluable, and marrying into it would allow one to enjoy a life of luxury. But the problem is that Xiao Qingyuan is no longer in the mansion. He has become a monk. Wouldn't marrying into it mean living a life of widowhood?
Everyone was looking at each other with different expressions when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and then a man rushed into the hall.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that the man had a straight posture, an extremely handsome appearance, and an indescribable temperament!
Isn't this the Xiao Qingyuan who has become a monk? Why did he go home?
Princess Ning had not expected her son to come back so suddenly. She stood up in surprise and joy and grabbed her son's hand: "Yuan'er, are you...returning to secular life? Are you not going to be a monk anymore?"
"Yes, I won't become a monk, mother. I will go back home to live in the future!"
Princess Ning couldn't believe her ears. She almost cried with joy: "Really? That's great! It's really great, Yuan'er, you finally figured it out!"
Before, she tried to persuade and even beg her, but her son would not listen to her and insisted on becoming a monk. If she had not specifically informed the abbot of Fazhen Temple and asked him not to shave Xiao Qingyuan's head, her son would have become a bald head by now!
When everyone present heard that Xiao Qingyuan was not going to be a monk anymore, they all became excited. Some ladies even came forward with their daughters, congratulating Princess Ning and letting their daughters show up in front of Xiao Qingyuan to leave a good impression.
Qi was of course no exception. She ordered Shen Wantang to wait where she was, and she took Shen Mingxuan to greet Xiao Qingyuan.
Unfortunately, Xiao Qingyuan ignored everyone. He looked past the crowd and looked at Shen Wantang who was sitting alone.
Shen Wantang glanced at Xiao Qingyuan indifferently, then retracted his gaze and lowered his head to drink tea.
There was no expression on her face, but she knew it in her heart - Xiao Qingyuan was also reborn.
Shen Wantang was a little suspicious. Could it be that what Gu Qianhan said was right? The key to rebirth lies in her? How come all the reborn people are related to her?
She had only speculated before that those who were able to be reborn were probably extremely unwilling to die, or had someone or something they were extremely reluctant to let go of, so they lived again with their memories.
The first time Shen Mingxuan died in prison she was extremely unwilling, so she came back with her memories.
When she died the second time, she didn't feel unwilling. She thought she had received Liao Youhe's love. When she died in Liao Youhe's hands in a daze, she probably felt very satisfied and happy. Because she had no obsession, she had no memory this time.
When Xiao Qingyuan died for the first time, he must have been obsessed and unwilling, but he did not come back with his memories. Instead, after he died for the second time, he came back with his memories.
The only difference is that when he died for the first time, he had no interaction with Shen Wantang, but the second time he did.
Shen Wantang held the teacup, and a clear pattern of rebirth emerged in her mind: first, he had a deep obsession before his death, and second, he had had an intersection with her before his death.
If this is really the case -
There was a wave of emotion in Shen Wantang's heart, Ah Ning!
Did Aning also come back with her memories?
Shen Wantang didn't want to stay in Prince Ning's Mansion for a moment, she wanted to go to the Duke's Mansion!
She exerted a little force on the fingers holding the teacup and was thinking about how to get away, but suddenly a tall figure stood in front of her.
"Shen Wantang."
Xiao Qingyuan called out Shen Wantang's maiden name, causing everyone in the flower hall to look over. Even Princess Ning was surprised, not understanding why her son knew Shen Wantang's name when he had just returned.
Shen Wantang cursed him in his heart, but he had to stand up and bow to him politely: "Greetings, my Lord."
"Shen Wantang, you don't remember me? Am I the only one who has memories and you don't?"
There was a sound of gasps all around, and everyone involuntarily widened their eyes and pricked up their ears.
what's the situation? ! !
This concubine's daughter of the Shen family actually knew Prince Xiao for a long time?
No wonder Prince Xiao’s attitude towards her is completely different from his attitude towards others!
So many of them were talking to Xiao Qingyuan, but he ignored any of them and didn't respond to a single word. Instead, he took the initiative to walk up to Shen Wantang and talk to her!
Shen Mingxuan on the side could no longer suppress the jealousy on her face. If it wasn't the wrong occasion, she would have stepped forward and scolded Shen Wantang.
Only Shen Wantang looked at Xiao Qingyuan blankly. Her tone was filled with confusion: "Isn't this the first time I've met the prince? Did the prince recognize the wrong person?"
Xiao Qingyuan frowned and looked at her for a while, then said in a cold voice: "I don't care whether you have any memories or not, but I want to tell you that I have married you in my last life, and it is impossible for me to marry you again in this life, no matter how much my mother likes you!"
"The person I truly love is Nan Shi, and I will marry her no matter what in this life! This time, no one can stop me!"
