Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

"what?!"

Xiao Qingyuan's head was buzzing with shock at his words: "You liked her the first time you saw her? How is that possible! You clearly didn't have that in your previous life..."

He was suddenly stuck in the middle of his words.

Everything in his previous life flashed through his mind rapidly like a reflection.

When he dotes on Chu Yanluo, Gu Qianhan snatches Chu Yanluo away from him. When he dotes on Huayi, Gu Qianhan snatches Huayi away from him. When he wants to divorce his wife, Gu Qianhan jumps out to make trouble and trick him!

Once, he thought that all Gu Qianhan did was because he ruined Gu Qianhan and Liu Nanshi's marriage, so Gu Qianhan was taking revenge on him.

He felt strange at that time, because he, Yuan Zheng and Gu Qianhan had been good friends for so many years, and they all knew clearly that he had no love for Liu Nanshi. He treated Liu Nanshi no differently from other women, but after learning that the marriage with the Liu family was ruined, he was so angry and kept taking revenge on him.

But what if the person Gu Qianhan likes is Shen Wantang instead of Liu Nanshi?

Does this all make sense?

Gu Qianhan took revenge on him not because he couldn't marry Liu Nanshi, but because he couldn't marry Shen Wantang!

Moreover, Gu Qianhan's admiration for Shen Wantang might be much deeper than he imagined! Gu Qianhan wanted Shen Wantang to live a good life, so he would do anything to snatch away all the women he liked, so that Shen Wantang's position would be stable and Shen Wantang would be the only one who could dominate!

And Gu Qianhan did all this without revealing a single clue! He kept the fact that he liked Shen Wantang a secret tightly under wraps!

Xiao Qingyuan took a deep breath and felt cold all over!

He couldn't help but take a step back, looking at Gu Qianhan in shock: "You, you are a lunatic! You actually did those things for Shen Wantang!"

Gu Qianhan remained indifferent: "What have I done for Shen Wantang?"

"That's right, that's what happened when you stole my woman!!"

"When did I ever steal your woman?"

"Your previous life!"

"Xiao Qingyuan, are you having hysterics again?"

Gu Qianhan's expression was a bit sharp. "If you're sick, go see the doctor. Don't talk nonsense here! You're accusing me and sullying my reputation, but Shen Wantang is a girl. You keep saying that she was your wife in a past life. I'm afraid you're ruining her and making her unable to marry anyone else except you!"

"But don't worry, no matter how you slander her, I will marry her!"

"Don't think I'll give him up to you just because you're making random accusations against me. I'm telling you, no!"

Xiao Qingyuan's scalp tingled, and the blood in his body almost rushed backwards. "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

"Why? Why didn't I realize you liked her in my previous life? Why did I only realize you liked her now!!"

"The Bodhisattva allowed me to be reborn, wasn't it just to let me see the truth, not to make up for my regrets?!"

"I don't accept it, I don't accept it!! Shen Wantang is mine, she is mine!"

"Yes, she's mine! Since the Bodhisattva allowed me to be reborn and didn't let you, she must still favor me. I'm sure I'll win!"

"I'm going to find Shen Wantang right now and tell her everything. She will definitely choose me. She won't choose you!"

Gu Qianhan originally wanted to tell Xiao Qingyuan to get lost, but when she heard that he was going to look for Shen Wantang, she immediately grabbed him and said, "She and I are already engaged. Xiao Qingyuan, it would be shameless for you to go see her again!"

Xiao Qingyuan was furious: "Gu Qianhan, let me go! How dare you talk to me about shame? I was reborn and realized that you are the most shameless one! You even covet your brother's wife, you are shameless!"

"Xiao Qingyuan, you are seriously ill! You don't have a wife. You haven't even married yet, so why would I covet her? I'm the one who's going to have a wife, and you're the one coveting my wife! If you dare to harass Shen Wantang, I'll break your legs!"

"Nonsense! Shen Wantang is my Crown Prince's Consort. Your Duke's Mansion has proposed marriage, and our Prince Ning's Mansion has also proposed marriage! The Shen family has already agreed to this marriage!"

"The Shen family promised to marry Miss Shen to you, not the Second Miss! The Second Miss has already been betrothed to me!"

"Gu Qianhan, do you think you can fool me with such lies? When we, the Prince Ning's Mansion, went to propose marriage, we made it clear that I wanted to marry the Second Miss Shen Wantang, not Shen Mingxuan!"

The two were arguing when the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open and Liu Nanshi walked in.

She was wearing a veil and spoke softly, "Qianhan, Qingyuan, why are you quarreling again? And it's all because of me? Oh, stop quarreling, I..."

Before she could finish her words, Gu Qianhan and Xiao Qingyuan said in unison: "This has nothing to do with you, get out!"

Liu Nanshi's face froze under her veil, but she quickly regained her composure. She pretended not to hear what they said and went straight into the private room. "Stop arguing about me. It hurts our feelings. I don't want you to ruin our brotherhood because of me, so I've decided. I want to marry—"

She stretched out her finger and pointed at Xiao Qingyuan.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to choose Gu Qianhan, but she knows that the situation is hopeless and she can no longer choose Gu Qianhan, otherwise she will only bring humiliation upon herself.

But she didn't expect that when she chose Xiao Qingyuan, Xiao Qingyuan would step back as if he was pricked by a needle and scream: "Why are you pointing at me? I don't want to marry you!"

Liu Nanshi's face darkened. She didn't understand. In his previous life, Xiao Qingyuan was completely captivated by her and would rather kill his wife than marry her. In this life, he felt extremely guilty about her death and even climbed over the wall to Liu's house several times just to secretly take a look at her.

A few days ago, he hugged her and said that he would not marry anyone else, and said that he didn't mind her ruining her innocence, and said that they were soul mates and confidants. How could everything change in the blink of an eye?

Did something happen that she didn't know about?

"Qingyuan, are you angry that I haven't replied to your letter yet, so you've become estranged from me? It's not that I don't want to reply to you, but the Liu family has been busy these days, and... our house was robbed yesterday, so I haven't had the energy to do it."

Xiao Qingyuan had, of course, heard about the burglary at the Mansion. Today, the streets and alleys were buzzing with discussion, and everyone was wondering what kind of thief would dare to break into the Mansion. But he didn't care at all. In fact, he thought it was a good thing that the Mansion had been burglarized! He hated Liu Nanshi, and he didn't like anyone in the Liu family!

At this moment, he didn't hide his disgust: "Miss Liu, there's no need to reply to my letter. From now on, we're done. Just pretend I've never met you! I can't possibly marry you. You can marry whoever you want!"

Liu Nanshi was eager to know what was wrong with Xiao Qingyuan. His attitude towards her had changed so much: "Qingyuan, did you misunderstand me? I feel so strange when you talk to me like this."

Xiao Qingyuan sneered: "You are the one who makes me feel strange! Liu Nanshi, don't you feel tired of pretending like this every day?"
