Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 642 It’s over, it’s all over

"Not me, really not me!"

Seeing her daughter's expression, Qi knew something was wrong. She denied everything and hurriedly hugged Shen Mingxuan, "Xuan'er, don't listen to her nonsense! She is framing me and trying to alienate the relationship between us!"

Shen Mingxuan pushed her away fiercely, her voice hoarse, "Get out! You're going to kill me! How could there be a mother like you who would betray her daughter? Get out! I don't want to see you again!"

"Xuan'er, I..."

Shen Mingxuan struggled to get up and escape, but as soon as she stood up, she felt severe pain in her body.

Her eyes went dark and she passed out.

"Xuan'er!"

"Miss!"

……

The room was in chaos, and on the roof outside the room, Gu Qianhan, dressed in black, stood there with an indifferent expression.

Jixiang had been watching the show with him for quite some time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Young Master, are you really not going to show up? You've been following the Second Young Miss ever since she left the house, always protecting her in secret. Are you really not going to let her know what you've done for her?"

Gu Qianhan glanced at his servant and said, "What have I done? Haven't I been watching the show with you the whole time? From the beginning to the end, she relied on her own resourcefulness to escape danger. What does it have to do with me?"

auspicious:"……"

"I'm going out to take credit now, do you think I'm not embarrassed enough?"

Jixiang couldn't help scratching his head. "You really didn't make a move. This, this, this...it's not your fault. It's mainly because the Second Young Lady did things so smoothly and effortlessly that you didn't even have the chance to make a move."

"But secret protection is still protection. I think you should let the Second Young Lady know. It's not to take credit for it, but to let her know that you care about her, love her... and protect her!"

Gu Qianhan said calmly, "I care about her and love her, not for her to know, nor for her to be grateful to me. I am just doing what I want to do. It's enough for me to know what I have done, she doesn't need to know."

Jixiang was stunned when he heard this. His own son was really a romantic man!

Other men would say that they did ten things in front of the girl they like, but you, the young man, would only say one thing even if he did ten.

Oh, that’s not right, sir, you didn’t say a single word!

"Okay, stop standing there. You look stupid. It's time to go."

"Ah? Are you leaving now? Isn't the mess over there still unfinished? You're not going to take another look?"

"No need to look at it anymore. The matter is a foregone conclusion. She can't suffer any loss."

As Gu Qianhan spoke, he flew down from the roof.

Qingjin and Qingyin immediately came forward and said, "Young Master!"

"Keep guarding her. Her words are as good as mine."

"Yes!"

Qingjin Qingyin certainly knew how important Shen Wantang was in the master's heart, so when they were guarding Shen Wantang, they were more dedicated than when they were in front of the master.

After all, if you are negligent in front of the master, at most you will be beaten with a stick, but if you are negligent in front of Miss Shen, your head will be chopped off!

Gu Qianhan naturally believed that they would do their job conscientiously, otherwise he would not have chosen them both to protect Shen Wantang.

He nodded indifferently, turned and left.

-

When Shen Wantang returned to the Shen Mansion, it was already dark.

Wei Dazhang was not sent to the government office. The abbot of Guyuan Temple was not a fool. He sent several monks to take Wei Dazhang to the Shen Mansion and hand him over to Shen Guannian.

Guyuan Temple was not very popular to begin with, and even the cats in the temple could hardly be kept.

The monks also lived an extremely hard life. If it were to be revealed that there was a rapist who harmed an official's daughter in the temple, there would probably be no pilgrims in Guyuan Temple anymore, and both the monks and the cats would have to starve to death.

Therefore, the abbot did not want this matter to become a big deal, but he could not ignore it either, so he simply threw this difficult problem of Wei Dazhang to Shen Guannian to solve.

Presumably, Shen Guannian didn't want this matter to spread even more than he did. After all, the person in trouble was his own daughter. In fact, the person who called Wei Dazhang to the temple was most likely Mrs. Shen.

In the main courtyard, candlelight flickered, and a cold and solemn atmosphere filled the air.

Wei Dazhang was tied up tightly and was now crawling on the ground, telling the whole story of his affair with Qi like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Shen Guannian's expression was so ugly that it could not be described. He didn't even need to verify it, he knew that what the rapist said was true - because he described all the characteristics of Qi, those characteristics that only he, the husband, should know!

As for Qi, her face was pale and her eyes were empty, as if her soul had been taken away. She couldn't utter a word in defense.

There was no point in arguing. She only regretted that she had not killed Wei Dazhang in Guyuan Temple and had let him come to the Shen Mansion alive.

It’s over.

It's all over.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost!

She turned her head slowly and stiffly, staring at Shen Wantang with a pair of dead eyes.

It was not until now that she realized that this lowly concubine's daughter whom she had never looked at straight in the eye was actually a ruthless character who had all the means, scheming, patience, and so on!

In the past, Shen Wantang looked stupid. Her needlework was a mess, she learned etiquette in a mess, she was very bad at studying, and her handwriting was terrible. Whenever she was tested by Shen Guannian, she always made a lot of mistakes, so that the mediocre Shen Mingxuan looked smarter because of her.

Now she realized that all of this was actually pretended by Shen Wantang!

She is clearly extremely intelligent, even so smart that she is almost a demon!

From the moment she stepped out of the Shen family, she had been deliberately guiding Shen Mingxuan!

She deliberately wore a dress that Shen Mingxuan liked very much, and deliberately brought an extra one that was exactly the same! She also deliberately damaged Shen Mingxuan's clothes and deliberately let Shen Mingxuan take the pink one!

Regret welled up from the depths of my heart.

If only she hadn't been making love with Wei Dazhang when her daughter ran to her for help, then she could have let her daughter into the house, and her daughter wouldn't have run away alone, and wouldn't have been knocked unconscious by Wei Dazhang, mistaking her for Shen Wantang!

But this regret was only for a moment. What she hated more was Shen Wantang, who had harmed her daughter and herself!

She could no longer hear what Shen Guannian was saying at the top, nor did she know what punishment would be waiting for her, but she had made up her mind to get rid of this great threat for her daughter no matter what, otherwise her daughter would surely die at the hands of Shen Wantang in the future!

She was lost in thought when a piece of paper suddenly fell from above her head.

She looked down and saw it clearly written: Divorce!

She suddenly raised her head and said, "Shen Guannian, you want to divorce me?! Our son and daughter haven't gotten married yet. If you divorce me, how can they hold their heads up high in Yue's family and in-laws' house in the future?"

Shen Guannian looked at her as if she were a dead person. "You still have the nerve to tell me you can hold your head up high? If I don't divorce you, I, Shen Guannian, will not be able to hold my head up high in the entire capital! If they were not of marriageable age and could not observe mourning at this time, I would have slapped you to death long ago!"
