Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 713 Young Madam, do you have a cousin?

Moreover, Nanny Yan knew that Shen Wantang was wise and intelligent, and she was very aware of her situation, so she did not move forward and immediately stopped Qin Xin from cursing.

A loud thunder roared in the sky, and soon it began to rain in the already overcast sky.

Raindrops as big as beans fell on Shen Wantang, soaking her clothes.

The guard still stretched out his hand to stop her, with no intention of letting her in. Outside the study door not far away, Nanny Ping and Shancha both raised their chins and looked at her with disdain.

Shen Wantang's eyes were indifferent, and the anger in his heart had been suppressed.

She actually didn't want to fight in the Duke's Mansion. She thought that by marrying in, she could live a stable life that she had never had.

After all, she was just naive.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are intrigues. There is no absolute stability. Stability must be achieved through one's own efforts.

But it doesn't matter, what she is best at is intrigue.

So far, no one who can defeat her has been born!

She looked down at her most fashionable pink skirt with peony pattern and asked Qin Xin, "Does the eldest young lady like to wear pink on weekdays?"

Qin Xin answered firmly: "No! She usually wears blue and purple, and has never worn pink!"

Shen Wantang nodded and smiled suddenly.

In order to meet Gu Qianhan, Meng Yunlan actually changed into pink, which was very similar to the color of her clothes.

She walked in the rain amidst the thunder and lightning, and said with a smile, "I've been wearing this pink dress for several days now. I'm tired of it, and it's also dirty. It's time to change it."

Qin Xin was a little confused: "Ah? What color do you want to change to?"

The master wore this pink not because she loved pink so much, but because her Jinxiu Pavilion was going to sell this color recently, so she wore it in advance as a promotion.

"Purple, it looks more luxurious. Also, find me a blue set. I want to give it away as a gift."

"Madam, who are you sending off?"

Shen Wantang smiled sweetly: "For my cousin."

Qin Xin was puzzled: "Cousin?"

Du Juan's eyes widened: "Young Madam, you have a cousin? How come I don't know?"

"I have them, but you haven't seen them yet. Go and pack the new clothes into the pretty box, and we'll go out and give the gifts!"

Qin Xin was shocked: "Ah? Now? You... you still have the mind to think about giving gifts to others?"

Dujuan wondered, "The rain is getting heavier. Do you really have to go out now?"

Shen Wantang said calmly, "The heavier the rain, the more sincere I am, right? This rain comes just in time!"

Qin Xin muttered, "You haven't dealt with that nagging guard yet. At the very least, you should tell the young master about it so he knows what kind of people he keeps."

Du Juan was worried: "The eldest young lady is still in the young master's study. Don't you need to check on her? I always feel that it is inappropriate for them to do this. What's more... what's more, the eldest young lady deliberately wore the same clothes as you to look for the young master today. This... this, if someone doesn't know, they would think it was you! What if the young master recognizes the wrong person?"

The corners of Shen Wantang's lips twitched slightly. Even the usually slow-witted Du Juan noticed that Meng Yunlan had ulterior motives, so surely others could notice it as well.

"Qin Xin, go spread the word everywhere about the eldest young lady's visit to Gu Qianhan, and also spread the news that I was stopped outside."

Qin Xin looked dazed: "Ah? Are you...are you sure?"

"Sure, go ahead!"

Shen Wantang had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold: "Since we've had enough of the peaceful days, I don't mind making things chaotic at home! Our Duke's Mansion has been quiet for too long, it's time for some fun."

Qin Xin didn't understand, but she was very obedient. She did whatever Shen Wantang asked her to do and went there immediately after hearing the words.

Shen Wantang returned to Qionghua Courtyard, changed her clothes, took Dujuan and Nanny Yan with her, and went out in the heavy rain.

Front yard, study.

Meng Yunlan took out the bird's nest soup from the food box and handed it to Gu Qianhan: "Qianhan, this is something I specially asked someone to make for you. Eat it while it's hot!"

Gu Qianhan didn't take it too seriously. Meng Yunlan had given him this and that before, and he always thought of him when he had good things, so it wasn't surprising that he sent him bird's nest soup today.

He said calmly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Meng Yunlan's eyes softened, and his voice carried a hint of heartache. "Although I don't know what you've been busy with lately, you've visibly lost a lot of weight, and your eyes are always red from working so hard. How can your body handle this? You need to balance work and rest, and eat good food to replenish your body. If you need anything, send someone to get it from me, and don't let yourself suffer any setbacks."

Gu Qianhan's eyes fell on the bowl of bird's nest soup. Only then did he notice that the bird's nest sent by Meng Yunlan was blood bird's nest.

"Isn't this blood bird's nest given by mother to my sister-in-law for nourishment? Why did my sister-in-law send it to me?"

"I see that you're even more depleted than I am. So, I'll just make some for you first. After all, I'm infertile, and this bowl of blood bird's nest can't cure it."

As Meng Yunlan spoke, his voice became lower and even his eyes became dark and obscure.

She never concealed the fact that she couldn't get pregnant in front of Gu Qianhan, nor did she hide her pain and loneliness.

However, when she told Gu Qianhan these things before, Gu Qianhan would not respond at all. But today, Gu Qianhan comforted her for the first time.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. You and brother will have children."

Meng Yunlan raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Really?"

"real."

Meng Yunlan burst into laughter and said, "Qianhan, I didn't expect that you have learned to comfort people. You were not like this before. You always..."

"So sister-in-law."

Gu Qianhan interrupted Meng Yunlan and said calmly, "Don't target Atang because of your infertility, and don't team up with your mother to play tricks on her."

The smile on Meng Yunlan's face froze for a moment. "Qianhan, what are you talking about? How could I possibly be targeting Atang? To ally with my mother to tease her is, is sheer nonsense!"

"Whether there is or not, sister-in-law knows it in her heart."

"I really didn't, Qianhan, you misunderstood me! I have been married to the Duke's Mansion for five years, and I have treated you well, don't you know?"

"It is because you know this that you can stand here and talk to me today."

"Qianhan, I treat you as my own brother. After my sister-in-law came into my family, I also treated her as my own sister. I don't have anything against her. I am really disappointed that you misunderstood me like this!"

Meng Yunlan's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs: "Did your sister-in-law tell you something? Maybe she misunderstood me. I'll find a time to have a good talk with her. We are all family. There is really no need to ruin our relationship because of a small misunderstanding. If your eldest brother knew, he would not be happy either."
