Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

What else could he regret? It was nothing more than nonsense like he had misjudged the person and trusted the wrong person.

"Whatever Prince Xiao regrets has nothing to do with me."

Shen Wantang said, pulling the clothes back with force: "I am already married, I hope that Master Xiao will respect himself and not pull my clothes casually."

"Then don't leave. Listen to what I have to say."

Xiao Qingyuan was afraid that Shen Wantang would leave, so he immediately dropped the explosive news: "Chu Yanluo's wronged spirit has returned to claim her life!"

Shen Wantang was stunned: "A wronged spirit seeking revenge? Impossible."

"it is true!"

Xiao Qingyuan said quickly, "Several nuns from Jixin Temple were killed, as was the owner of Qingyun Tower. They all died in exactly the same way: no external injuries, and their expressions were horrified. They were frightened to death!"

Shen Wantang was really surprised. "What? The owner of Qingyunlou was killed?"

"Yes!"

"When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"

"They died last night and were found this morning. The authorities suppressed the news to avoid causing panic. It's normal that you didn't hear about it."

"Then why do you think they were all killed by Chu Yanluo?"

"Because their names are all in that blood letter!"

"A blood letter?"

"Don't you know? Before Chu Yanluo died, she left a blood letter in Wanhua Tower. On it were the names of the people she wanted to avenge. The names of those who died last night were all on the blood letter! Your name and mine are on it too!"

Only then did Shen Wantang remember the letter written in blood. She had heard Qin Xin talk about it, but she had not taken it seriously and put the matter behind her.

But she felt at the time that Chu Yanluo's death was very strange and bizarre. Now it is certain that Chu Yanluo faked his death in order to escape and to avenge his murder.

"I know a little bit about the grudge between the nun from Jixin Temple and Chu Yanluo, but what grudge does the owner of Qingyun Tower have against her? Every wrong has its perpetrator. Shouldn't she seek revenge on the person who sold her into Wanhua Tower? Could it be that the owner of Qingyun Tower was the one who sold her there?"

Xiao Qingyuan smiled bitterly: "Chu Yanluo certainly has no grudges with the owner of Qingyun Tower in this life, but there were some in the previous life."

Shen Wantang was stunned. Previous life?

In her past life, hadn't Chu Yanluo used Qingyunlou to promote her dim sum? Hadn't she also made a lot of money there? The owner of Qingyunlou had helped her gain fame, so how could she have brought disaster upon herself in this life?

Seeing her astonishment, Xiao Qingyuan thought she didn't believe in the saying of this life and the past life, so he quickly said: "Everything I said is true, I didn't lie to you! They really had a grudge in their past life!"

"In her previous life, Chu Yanluo caused Qingyunlou's reputation to plummet and she lost a lot of money, so the owner of Qingyunlou insulted her."

"She lived in Qingyun Building for a while, and during that time, the owner treated her badly, so she holds a grudge and wants revenge in this lifetime."

Shen Wantang nodded, looking convinced. "So that's how it is. Then, her wronged spirit will kill you next, right?"

Xiao Qingyuan's face turned pale: "She hates me for sure, but I'm not afraid of her! I'm just afraid that she will hurt you, so I came to you."

Shen Wantang glanced at him and said, "I think you should go find that so-called 'ghost' first!"

"Find the wronged ghost? What do you mean? Are you asking me to find a Taoist priest to cast a spell to exorcise the ghost?"

Shen Wantang shook his head helplessly. He was so stupid. It was so tiring to talk to him.

She did not respond to Xiao Qingyuan, but took Du Juan's hand and got on the carriage.

"Shen Wantang, don't go!"

Xiao Qingyuan opened the car window curtain and said with red eyes: "I heard that you are not having a good time in the Duke's Mansion. You..."

Shen Wantang immediately interrupted him: "No, I'm doing fine!"

Xiao Qingyuan's eyes turned even redder: "Tang'er, do you think it will be of any use if you don't admit it? Even if you can deceive yourself, you can't deceive me! It's obvious that you are not doing well, and it's spread everywhere!"

Shen Wantang got goosebumps from his shouting. She turned cold and said, "You don't believe what I say, but you believe the rumors. Prince Xiao only believes what he wants to believe."

Xiao Qingyuan said angrily, "Do you think I really don't know? That damned Gu Qianhan, after marrying you, wasn't even satisfied, and he even obsessed with pestering his eldest sister-in-law, humiliating you and making you suffer so much!"

"I should have killed him and taken you home! I really regret it now. I regret not checking to see if the person under the veil was you when I was trying to steal your bride!"

"Shen Wantang, divorce him! I will marry you! I will treat you well and protect you. I will not let anyone or any wronged spirit hurt you!"

Shen Wantang was speechless. How come Xiao Qingyuan had heard about Gu Qianhan and Meng Yunlan?

Gu Qianhan himself would definitely not tell anyone about this, and no one else would be able to spread this information except Meng Yunlan.

Meng Yunlan was really cruel. In order to make her lose face in public, he even disregarded his own reputation.

"There is nothing going on between my husband and his sister-in-law. The rumors outside are all false."

Shen Wantang said calmly, "Prince Xiao, you'd better take care of yourself. Who knows, the next person Chu Yanluo's ghost will kill might be you."

After she finished speaking, she pulled back the curtain from Xiao Qingyuan's hand.

"Jixiang, let's go!"

Jixiang immediately reined in his horse: "Gee!"

Xiao Qingyuan watched her carriage leave with a dejected look on his face.

"Mo Ji, what do you think I should do now? I regret so much. Why was I so blind and heartless back then? I thought Liu Nanshi was so good and insisted on marrying her. If I had listened to my mother from the beginning, Shen Wantang would have been my Crown Prince Consort by now, right?"

"Master, please don't think about this. You think about it every day now, and you almost lose your appetite. You've lost weight."

"How could I not think about it? Shen Wantang is the only thing that comes to mind now. It was only in this life that I discovered how beautiful she was. In my previous life, she loved me deeply, but I was so bad to her. I failed her. I regret it, Mo Ji."

Mo Ji couldn't help but scratch his ears. He had been listening to Xiao Qingyuan say these things every day recently, and his ears were almost callused. He could recite them word for word.

After Xiao Qingyuan finished his confession, he reminded him, "Master, the revenge of the wronged souls is the most important thing now. Don't forget, your name is the first one on that blood letter!"

Xiao Qingyuan clenched his fists. "Yes, it's written in blood! Shen Wantang's name is on it too. It doesn't matter if I die, but I can't let her die with me. I have to find a way to protect her!"

"Master, how are you going to protect her? She is now the second young lady of the Duke's Mansion, and it's not easy for us to see her today."

"Let's go find Gu Qianhan!"

"what?!"
