Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

However, Xiao Qingyuan became even more annoyed after hearing what Yuan Zheng said: "Since you don't like that girl surnamed Meng, you should draw a clear line between you and her instead of letting others misunderstand you and letting Shen Wantang suffer! Whose brother-in-law and sister-in-law would spread rumors of such an incestuous affair? Aren't they afraid of being embarrassed?"

Yuan Zheng was speechless now. What's more, he didn't really care about all this mess. He only cared about whether he could escape the pursuit of Chu Yanluo's evil spirit.

"Gu Qianhan! What do you want in exchange for letting Tang'er go?"

Xiao Qingyuan walked up to Gu Qianhan and grabbed his collar: "You don't deserve her, she should be mine! She was my prince's consort in her previous life! If you hadn't stolen her in this life, she would still be my prince's consort!"

Gu Qianhan had been a little annoyed by Meng Yunlan's disturbance these days, and today Xiao Qingyuan came to interfere, and his patience was running out.

"roll."

"Gu Qianhan, you dare to tell me to get out? I think you should be the one to get out!"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? If I tell you to get out, get out now, or I'll break your ribs again. I don't even know if your broken ribs have healed."

Xiao Qingyuan's face looked a little ugly, but when he thought of Shen Wantang, he suppressed his anger.

"Mo Ji, take out the things."

Mo Ji stepped forward and handed over a box.

Xiao Qingyuan opened the box, took out the contents, and slammed it on the table: "This is for you! Divorce Shen Wantang!"

Gu Qianhan didn't even look at it: "I've already told you that the rumors about me and Meng Yunlan are all lies. My wife and I are in perfect harmony and love each other very much. We will not divorce. Just give up on this idea and stop pretending to be affectionate."

Yuan Zheng came forward and took a curious look at the things on the table.

Then, he cried out in a lost voice, "The deed to Canghai Garden?! Qingyuan, isn't this the largest garden in your palace? You're giving it away as a gift? Are you crazy? Won't your father break your legs?"

Canghai Garden is not in the capital, but in Beixing Prefecture adjacent to the capital. It covers a vast area and is a summer resort.

Last year during the midsummer, the weather was extremely hot, and Yuan Zheng followed Xiao Qingyuan to escape the heat. At that time, he entered Canghai Garden. Even though he was knowledgeable and his family was wealthy, he was still shocked by the luxury of the garden.

The royal top garden is indeed worthy of its reputation. It is filled with all kinds of rare and exotic animals, precious flowers, plants and trees, a blue lake that stretches as far as the eye can see, and magnificent buildings that lead up to the stairs.

Such a large garden is simply not something that ordinary people can own. It’s not because of money, but because if it is too big and too luxurious, it will exceed the rules and the person will be beheaded.

"Even if my father breaks my legs, I will accept it. If Canghai Garden can be exchanged for Shen Wantang, then it will be of some use."

Xiao Qingyuan said seriously, "How about it, Gu Qianhan? Am I sincere enough? Besides, apart from Canghai Garden, we can discuss anything you want. I just want you to divorce Shen Wantang."

Gu Qianhan's expression did not change at all, as if what Xiao Qingyuan took out was not a royal garden, but a leaf.

He stood up and walked out indifferently: "I will not divorce Atang, never."

It seems that we can no longer stay in this place.

Now that we can find people one by one or two, we can no longer meet people or discuss important matters here. We have to find a more secret place.

-

Zuixian Tower.

Shen Wantang was drinking tea, so she naturally knew nothing about what happened in Jiyue Tower.

"Um... Madam Second Young Master, you didn't kill the owner of Qingyun Tower, did you? In order to make Zuixian Tower's business surpass Qingyun Tower's?"

Shen Wantang choked and almost spit out a mouthful of tea!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

She looked up at Li Yao: "How could it be me?! What are you thinking about!"

Li Yao's expression was filled with awe. "Yes, yes, yes, how could it be the Second Young Master's wife? I was just talking nonsense. Please forgive me for being abrupt. It must be the owner of Qingyun Tower who offended someone, so he was killed by a fierce ghost. It has absolutely nothing to do with you!"

Shen Wantang: “…”

How come he said that it had nothing to do with her, but his face said "You killed him"?

The owner of Zuixianlou followed behind Li Yao, and there was fear in his eyes when he looked at Shen Wantang, as if he believed that she was a woman who would kill people at all costs just to steal business.

Shen Wantang shook her head helplessly. How great! After living for three lifetimes, she still had to take the blame for Chu Yanluo?

Did she seem so heartless and inhumane? Was she willing to kill someone just to steal a business?

"It's really not me!"

"Yes, yes, it's not you, it's a ghost, a fierce ghost."

"..."

Shen Wantang wanted to sigh. Forget it. Unless the Ministry of Justice solved the case, she would not be able to clear herself from Li Yao's name for a while.

She decisively avoided the topic and asked about Zuixianlou: "Has your mother considered it? Is she willing to help you take over Zuixianlou and let you become the real owner of Zuixianlou?"

Li Yao quickly said, "Yes, yes, my mother is willing! Last night, my mother told my father about this matter, and my father informed the elders that night. This morning, Zuixianlou was bought by my mother."

As she spoke, she took out a document and said, "Second Young Master's Madam, please take a look. This is the document we have drafted. All you need to do is sign and put your fingerprint on it, and we will become the owner of Zuixianlou."

Shen Wantang didn't expect Li Yao and her mother to work so quickly. She couldn't help but pick up the document and read it carefully.

Then she pointed at the line of words above with some surprise and asked, "Why is it 30% to 70%? Wasn't it agreed to be 40% to 60%?"

Li Yao smiled. "My mother said that since you are the second wife of the Duke's Mansion and are willing to support me and run the Zuixianlou with me, it is a great blessing for me. She told me not to be greedy, so she asked me to split the profits with you 30% and 70%. From now on, you will own 70% of the Zuixianlou and I will own 30%."

Shen Wantang was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Li Yao's mother was not only decisive and efficient in her work, but also had a long-term vision and was not at all greedy for short-term gains.

She shook her head. "Your mother is very generous, but I appreciate her kindness. I own 60% of the profits from Zuixianlou, which is more than enough. So, let's stick to our original agreement of 40% to 60%. Take this document and revise it!"

Now it was Li Yao's turn to be shocked: "Second Young Master's Madam, you don't want 70%? Don't you want to make more money?"

Shen Wantang chuckled. "Of course I want to make more money, but there's no need for me to take that 10% profit from you. We're partners, not competitors. We should work together to make money from others, instead of calculating gains and losses. That won't last long."
