Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 714 Qin Xin Exceeds Mission

Gu Qianhan saw that she was almost crying, but there was no ripple in his heart.

In fact, he is not close to anyone in his family. If he had not been reborn, he would not even be close to his own sister Gu Qianning.

Not to mention the sister-in-law Meng Yunlan.

But he always thought that Meng Yunlan was a gentle, kind-hearted lady from a noble family.

Because in her previous life, and the life before that, she had never shown any sign of impropriety. She respected her elders, loved her younger siblings, took care of the household, and was dignified and virtuous.

It was not until he got married in this life and the Duke's Mansion had a second young lady that Meng Yunlan felt a sense of crisis and began to behave strangely.

It had been raining outside since someone had noticed. Gu Qianhan lost his patience and said indifferently, "Sister-in-law, I'll assume that this bowl of bird's nest soup you gave me today is a sign of you asking for peace. Let's just forget about what happened last time. With my brother here, I don't want anyone to feel embarrassed."

"Qianhan, you..."

"Sister-in-law, if you're alright, please go back! You don't have to come to the study anymore. It's inappropriate for you and your brother-in-law to meet here alone. If you really have something important to say, let your brother come to me. It's much more convenient for us brothers to talk to each other than to you."

"I have one more thing to tell you!"

"what's up?"

"It's about Liu Nanshi!"

Gu Qianhan frowned slightly. "Why did sister-in-law tell me about Liu Nanshi? What's the connection between her and me?"

"No, that's not what I meant. Liu Nanshi sent someone to ask you to go to Qingyun Tower. She said she has something important to tell you, which is related to the life and death of the Duke's Mansion. If you don't go, you will regret it."

Gu Qianhan said sarcastically, "It concerns the life and death of the Duke's Mansion? Is it that serious?"

But he always spoke with sarcasm, and sarcasm was common. Meng Yunlan didn't take it seriously. She lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice, "I think this matter is really serious, and it's not just about you. It's better to go see Liu Nanshi."

"Originally, I didn't want to tell you anything, but the maid who brought the news told my sister-in-law such an important matter, and she flatly refused on your behalf without even discussing it with you. That's why I had no choice but to come here."

Gu Qianhan was stunned: "Atang knows? Has he already rejected it?"

Meng Yunlan heard that his emotions finally showed some signs of improvement, and he felt much better.

She said earnestly and gently, "Qianhan, please don't blame your sister-in-law. She's young and hot-tempered, and you're newlyweds. It's normal for her to be jealous and not want you to see Liu Nanshi. Please don't argue with her about this, or I'll be to blame."

"Oh, and if you go to see Liu Nanshi, don't tell your sister-in-law, or she might get upset if she finds out."

"Sometimes, for her own good and for the sake of your relationship, you don't have to tell her about these little things. You can just handle them yourself."

Gu Qianhan's expression was extremely grim: "So sister-in-law also knows that Atang and I are husband and wife?!"

"Qianhan, you, what's wrong with you?"

"It's not enough for the eldest sister-in-law to meddle in the affairs of the eldest brother's room, but she even meddles in the affairs of the younger brother-in-law's room?"

"No, I don't, I just..."

"There's a woman out there asking me out, and my wife turned her down on my behalf. And you, my sister-in-law, are asking me to meet her? Are you sick? Is it your place to speak for my wife and me? Do you think we're living too well?"

Gu Qianhan was angry, not only because he had realized that Meng Yunlan was here to cause trouble, but also because he felt that with Shen Wantang's ability, she must have known that Meng Yunlan was coming to see him, and she must have even anticipated what Meng Yunlan would say to him!

It’s bad, he is not afraid of offending anyone, but he is afraid of offending Shen Wantang, the person he married with great difficulty!

He didn't care about Meng Yunlan anymore and hurried out, asking Jixiang as he walked, "Has Atang been here?"

Jixiang followed out with a bewildered look on his face: "I don't know, sir. I was inside the whole time and didn't pay attention to the outside. I guess... he didn't come, right? If he came, just come in!"

Meng Yunlan followed them out of the study and walked out with her maid and nanny.

As soon as I walked out of the front yard, I met Qin Xin.

Qin Xin watched Gu Qianhan and Meng Yunlan come out one after another, and how could she suppress the anger in her heart?

She held up the umbrella and rolled her eyes at them both: "Oh, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law are willing to come out!"

"It's a pity that our young lady had to wait outside in the rain for so long, but she couldn't even see her husband! I don't know what you two are busy doing in there, but you have to avoid our young lady and refuse to let her in no matter what."

"This is truly eye-opening. Such a bizarre thing actually happened in this Duke's Mansion. I've been in the palace and Prince Ning's Mansion for over ten years, and I've never encountered such a thing!"

Gu Qianhan froze: "What did you say? Atang is waiting for me outside?"

Meng Yunlan's face turned ugly. She had never been humiliated like this by a maid before!

"You maid, what nonsense are you talking about? You have no manners at all! How can you say anything about your master's affairs? Madam Ping, slap me in the face!"

Qin Xin threw her umbrella away and fell to her knees. She shouted, "Madam, please spare me. I won't dare to do that again. From now on, when you meet the Second Young Master, I will pretend I didn't see it! Madam, please forgive me. You stole our Madam's husband and beat and scolded her maid. Why is this happening? Has our Madam ever offended you?"

She shouted so loudly that Mrs. Gu and Gu Qianning, who were standing far away, could hear it clearly.

Madam Gu walked over with a cold face: "What are you doing here?! Yunlan, what's going on? Why are you beating and scolding the maidservant who came with the second son's wife?"

Gu Qianning looked at Gu Qianhan with an incredible look: "Second brother, you and sister-in-law...you..."

Before Meng Yunlan and Gu Qianhan could say a word, Qin Xin burst into tears, "Madam and Miss, please help our Young Madam. We originally came to see the Second Young Master, but we watched helplessly as the Eldest Young Madam entered the Second Young Master's study. We don't know what they were talking about inside, and the Second Young Master's people stubbornly blocked our Young Madam from entering!"

"Now, the eldest young lady is even trying to beat me. I really don't know how I have offended her!"

Qin Xin cried and thought, now she has completed the task assigned to her by the young lady, right?

The young lady asked her to spread the news. By this time, it should be known to everyone, right?

Gu Qianhan and Meng Yunlan's expressions became uglier than each other.

Gu Qianhan never expected that his people would dare to stop Shen Wantang!

Meng Yunlan had never expected that Shen Wantang's maid would so rudely tell everyone about this matter, even taking it in a very bad direction! She simply had no idea of etiquette and no decency at all!
