Chapter 459 I want to marry Liu Nanshi!
Madam Gu was stunned. Seeing him walk away without even looking back, she had no choice but to ask Gu Qianning, "Who is your second brother looking for revenge? Who provoked him again?"
Gu Qianning said hesitantly: "It may be related to the conspiracy against my second brother yesterday."
"What? Was he attacked yesterday?"
"Yes, mother, didn't you see that my second brother looked unhappy?"
"He doesn't look good? Why didn't I see that?"
Gu Qianning sighed: "Mother, please be more considerate of my second brother in the future. Don't worry about cousin Pei's marriage for now. You should help my second brother find a wife first."
"Do you think I don't want to find a wife for your second brother? How many marriage proposals have I suggested to him? Will he listen to me?"
"That means you didn't speak to his heart."
"Then who can I find for him that can touch his heart?"
Gu Qianning opened her mouth but didn't dare to say Shen Wantang's name.
She always found it strange that her second brother clearly had the ability to snatch Shen Wantang away from Xiao Qingyuan, but he just refused to do so.
why?
-
Prince Ning's Mansion.
The atmosphere in Princess Ning's room was cold and lifeless.
Shen Wantang sat beside Princess Ning with red eyes, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Below, Xiao Qingyuan was kneeling with his whole body stiff.
After an unknown amount of time, Princess Ning spoke in a hoarse voice: "Qingyuan, how many disasters do you have to cause before you become sensible and steady? When will you grow up? Your father was reprimanded in the palace because of you, and even I was called to the palace by the Queen Mother and reprimanded. You have disgraced us all!"
Xiao Qingyuan raised his head and said with red eyes: "Mother, Nan Shi was drugged, and her and I...it was really an accident!"
"She was drugged, what about you?"
"I…I wasn't drugged."
Princess Ning could no longer bear it, so she picked up a tea bowl and threw it at him. She roared angrily, "How could you do such a lewd thing if you were not drugged?! Liu Nanshi was drugged and was unconscious, are you also unconscious?"
Xiao Qingyuan dodged the tea bowl by leaning sideways, and it shattered behind him.
Regret and pain appeared on his handsome face. "I don't know why it turned out like that. I originally just wanted to help her, but she clung to me too tightly, and I followed her without thinking... If I could do it again, I would never do it this way!"
Princess Ning closed her eyes and said tiredly, "Qingyuan, there is no if in this world, and there is no do-over. Everything is a foregone conclusion. You are always too impulsive, too soft-hearted, and never consider the consequences of your actions. If you slept with a palace maid, it would be fine, but you slept with Elder Liu's legitimate daughter. Elder Liu will not let it go."
Xiao Qingyuan hurriedly said: "Mother, then I will marry Nan Shi!"
"absurd!"
Princess Ning angrily slammed the table and said, "You already have a wife. If you marry again, where will Tang'er be? You two made a mistake, and you asked Tang'er to bear the consequences for you. Is this something a human being can do?"
Xiao Qingyuan looked at Shen Wantang, and seeing that her eyes were red and she looked aggrieved, he suddenly couldn't say what he had planned.
"Ever since Tang'er married into our Ning Wang Mansion, she has been diligent in managing the household and has been devoted to honoring me and your father. Who in the whole mansion doesn't praise her for being virtuous and filial?"
Princess Ning took Shen Wantang's hand and said, "Tang'er, don't worry. I will make the decision for you. No one can shake your position as the Crown Prince's Consort!"
Shen Wantang shed a tear: "Thank you, mother. I am content to have you loving me."
Princess Ning patted her shoulder comfortingly, then turned to look at Xiao Qingyuan: "Do you have anything else to say? If not, go to the Buddhist temple and kneel down for me."
Xiao Qingyuan's face turned pale: "Mother, I have already promised Nan Shi. I promised her that I would marry her and make her my Crown Prince's Consort."
Princess Ning was shocked and angry: "What did you say?!"
Xiao Qingyuan was a little anxious: "Mother, I have ruined Nan Shi's innocence, shouldn't I marry her? Shen Wantang and I are not actually husband and wife, and we have never consummated our marriage! So let her leave the palace, and I will marry Nan Shi, this is the best way!"
"You didn't consummate your marriage?! Then what happened last time?"
"I lied to you last time, and the blood on the Yuanpa was also caused by me."
"How dare you lie to me!!"
"I know it was wrong to lie to you, but now that I think about it, it's a good thing that I didn't consummate my marriage with Shen Wantang. After she leaves the palace, she can still marry someone with a clean record!"
Princess Ning looked at him in disbelief: "You actually think that after Tang'er married you, she can still marry someone clean? Who do you want her to marry?"
"Marry Pei Linan. Didn't Madam Gu say that last time? She wanted Shen Wantang to be Pei Linan's wife!"
"shut up!"
Princess Ning was furious: "Tang'er is not going anywhere, she is staying in the palace! She is the daughter-in-law I personally chose, if you let her go, you are slapping me in the face! I have lost face because of you, you can't lose your humanity!"
Xiao Qingyuan suddenly stood up: "Why is mother so stubborn? Why does she have to side with an outsider? How is Nan Shi inferior to Shen Wantang? She has the family background, the looks, and the talents. She is the most suitable candidate to be my prince's consort!"
Princess Ning looked at him with disappointment on her face: "Do you think that when I was choosing a princess for you, I didn't consider Liu Nanshi? She is the daughter of a cabinet minister, and is known as the most talented woman in Dafeng. She is good in every way. Don't I want you to marry a princess who is well-matched?"
Xiao Qingyuan was a little dissatisfied: "Since mother has considered it, why didn't she say it earlier? If Nan Shi and I had known each other earlier, we wouldn't be in this situation today, and she wouldn't have lost such a big person."
Princess Ning sneered: "Even if I tell you, what's the point? You were obsessed with marrying Chu Yanluo and even went to Fazhen Temple to become a monk. Who would be willing to marry you?"
"I didn't even want to say a word to Madam Liu at that time, but she evaded me, fearing that I would fall in love with her daughter. I handed in a visiting card and wanted to visit her, but she said she was sick and didn't see me!"
"Not to mention Elder Liu, he is so proud and arrogant that he has never looked down upon our Ning Palace, let alone you. What he looks down upon is the Gu family and Gu Qianhan!"
"And Liu Nanshi, why do you think she always went to the Duke's Mansion? She also had her eyes on Gu Qianhan!"
Xiao Qingyuan's face turned gloomy. "Mother, please don't speculate about Nanshi. She doesn't like Gu Qianhan. She and I are close friends! Our Ning Palace is also one of the most powerful and influential people in the capital. Elder Liu can't look down on us. Madam Liu didn't see you. She must be really sick. She's not afraid that you will like Nanshi. Why does mother always think the worst of people?"
