Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 508 I've tasted the sweetness, I won't stop

"Other people are not good people, but Youhe is good!"

Shen Mingxuan screamed stubbornly: "You don't understand at all, you don't understand anything. You don't know how good a man You He is, and you don't know how dazzling he will be in the future!"

"You just think he's a poor scholar now, and you look down on him from the bottom of your heart!"

"Don't look down on the poor young man. You will regret it when he becomes a high-ranking official in the future!"

Qi grabbed her and said, "I don't care what he will be like in the future. Anyway, he is not the way he is now! If you hadn't gone crazy and insisted on marrying him, how could I agree to this marriage! He has such a mother and a bunch of burdens. You will never have a good life with him! Come back here and don't go anywhere!"

Shen Mingxuan struggled desperately: "Let me go! I want to find You He! I think you have lost your mind. You want to drive away such a good son-in-law. Have you forgotten how jealous and sour you were in your previous life when you saw the good life of Shen Wantang and Liao You He?!"

"Don't you ever mention anything about your past life to me again! Everyone thinks you're crazy, but you keep talking nonsense every day. Can you make a living by talking about things in your past life? Maybe Liao Youhe's fate has changed in this life. He's no good anymore! He couldn't even pass the imperial examination, and he still wants to be an official. He can just dream on!"

The mother and daughter were arguing with each other, accusing and scolding each other, and they no longer cared about Shen Wantang.

Shen Wantang leisurely watched the loving mother and filial daughter for a while, until her stepmother Qi pulled Shen Mingxuan into the house, she turned around and left with a feeling of unsatisfied desire.

After getting on the carriage, she told Du Juan: "Send someone to follow Liao Youhe and see where he will stay with his family."

Du Juan was puzzled: "Princess, is it true that Mr. Liao will not return to the Shen family?"

"No." Liao Youhe was still very scholarly at this moment. He had never suffered a beating in the officialdom, so it was impossible for him to bow his head.

"Then he shouldn't stay in the capital, right? His family is poor and has no money to rent a house in the capital! I think they should go back to their hometown in the countryside."

"No, he won't go back, and his mother and brothers and sisters don't want to go back either."

"why?"

"Because they have seen the prosperity and extravagance of the capital, and they can't go back. Their whole family has gained a lot from the Shen family, and they have tasted the sweetness, so they won't stop."

"Ah? They still want to take advantage of the Shen family?"

"It may not be the Shen family, it may be someone else's family. They are all very confident that without Shen Mingxuan, Liao Youhe will marry a daughter from a more affluent and wealthy official family."

At this point, Shen Wantang suddenly laughed: "Besides, didn't I already throw the bait? Liao Youhe's mother must be counting on me to find a new good father-in-law for Liao Youhe!"

Du Juan was very sad: "It seems that they are going to get divorced. After the Shen family is gone without Master Liao's family, won't they live in peace? Won't Madam live a good life? I still think it's best for them not to get divorced."

Shen Wantang's smile deepened: "If they can really get divorced, then wouldn't my coming here today be in vain? Don't worry, if they can't get divorced, Shen Mingxuan won't let go. She is still counting on Liao Youhe to bring her a royal consort!"

Du Juan's eyes lit up: "Really? They won't divorce? After all the trouble today, they still won't divorce?"

Shen Wantang said firmly: "We won't divorce."

"What if Mr. Liao divorces his wife?"

"He can't get a divorce. Do you think my father and mother are both vegetarians? Although my father has never been able to get his job back, he is definitely not someone a poor scholar can deal with."

Shen Wantang has lived in the Shen family for so many years, so she has naturally understood the temperaments of her father and stepmother. "How could they let Shen Mingxuan end up being divorced? If this reputation gets out, it will be the end. Those who divorce their wives have made a big mistake. In order to please Liao Youhe, Shen Mingxuan has never made a big mistake."

Every year in the capital, there are couples who can no longer live together and divorce, but there are very few who divorce their wives. It is not because men do not want to divorce, but because the conditions for divorce stipulated by the law are very harsh.

Du Juan was relieved until Liao Youhe and Shen Mingxuan could not get divorced. She was very happy: "I will send someone to find out where Master Liao is staying and come back to tell the Crown Prince's Consort!"

"Whether I know or not is secondary. I mainly want Shen Mingxuan to know that after you find out where Liao Youhe lives, send someone to quietly tell Shen Mingxuan. Otherwise, with her brain, she may not be able to find Liao Youhe even after searching for half a month."

"Yes, I understand!"

After watching the play, Shen Wantang took her maids and nanny to Zuixianlou for a meal before returning to the palace.

As soon as she returned, she heard the sounds of quarreling and crying coming from Princess Ning's courtyard. When she listened carefully, she found that it was Xiao Qingxi who was arguing with Princess Ning.

Shen Wantang smiled slightly. Great, there are scenes of loving mothers and filial daughters everywhere!

Her efforts were not in vain, as neither Xiao Qingxi nor Shen Mingxuan had time to bother her now.

She can have some peace and quiet for a long time!

She returned to her own courtyard, took a comfortable nap, then got up to check the accounts and practice calligraphy.

In the evening, Qin Xin came to report: "Princess, the painting is gone."

Shen Wantang paused for a moment. So fast?

She continued writing and said calmly, "Go and tell the princess that Huayi's funeral will be handled according to the rules of the mansion. It will be fine as long as it saves face."

"Yes."

Qin Xin turned and went out.

On the second day, everything in the palace was normal, and it was impossible to tell that a concubine of the crown prince had died.

Princess Ning and Xiao Qingxi started arguing again over a disagreement. One said that as a younger sister, she shouldn't have provoked her brother, causing him to commit suicide for love; the other said that as a mother, she shouldn't have spoiled her son too much, making him unable to withstand the slightest stimulation, and taking his own life as a joke and dying at any time.

Prince Ning's illness came and went as quickly as a mountain. He lay in bed recuperating and had no energy to take care of Xiao Qingxi.

As for the death of Huayi, no one cared about it.

Only Shen Wantang's life was not affected in any way. She ate on time, insisted on taking care of her body and mind, and insisted on reading and practicing calligraphy. She lived a more vital life than when Xiao Qingyuan was alive.

At night, Du Juan was grinding ink for her while she said, "Princess, I have sent someone to inform Miss of Master Liao's residence."

"Is he settled? Where is he living?"

"I live in Yongxiangfang."

Shen Wantang nodded: "It's messy over there, but cheap. However, there are all kinds of people there. I'm afraid it's not suitable for Liao Youhe to study, but it's suitable for him to mess around."

Du Juan was surprised: "Princess, how do you know that Mr. Liao would mess around?"
