Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 653 The evil star is coming again!

Every time her cousin came to see her, the phrase he said most often was, "Cousin, our Jinxiu Pavilion's fame has skyrocketed, and we don't have enough goods to sell! Not enough!"

Her cousin came again today. In addition to asking her about purchasing goods, he also brought her a large sum of silver as a dowry.

Now when she needs money, she won't be short of it.

When it was completely dark, Shen Guannian returned home.

After a while, Sanshui arrived.

A few days ago, Shen Wantang had mentioned to Shen Guannian that she wanted Sanshui to be her companion. Shen Guannian agreed immediately, but he did not let Sanshui come to serve Shen Wantang immediately, so Sanshui is still busy running around Shen Guannian.

"I have met the Second Miss."

Sanshui stood at the door, looking very respectful.

Sanshui felt that he was extremely lucky to be able to follow Shen Wantang to the Duke's Mansion, so he worked extra hard and acted extra cautiously.

"come in!"

Shen Wantang put down the account book, waved to Sanshui, and asked him, "What did my father do outside? Did he meet anyone?"

Sanshui lowered his voice: "The master met with Prince Xiao."

Shen Wantang nodded, not feeling surprised. After all, Xiao Qingyuan had reinstated Shen Guannian. It was impossible for Shen Guannian to really let her marry into the Duke's Mansion. He must do something before her wedding.

She had actually thought of many possibilities, and even speculated that Shen Guannian might knock her out and hand her over to Xiao Qingyuan tonight. In order to keep his official position, he would do anything.

"What did the master and Prince Xiao say?"

"The master was talking to Prince Xiao alone, and I wasn't allowed in. Even the servant next to the prince named Mo Ji wasn't allowed in."

"So you didn't hear anything?"

"I was standing guard at the door and vaguely heard the master talking about kidnapping the bride."

"Bride-stealing?"

Shen Wantang was stunned: "Is he crazy? Let Xiao Qingyuan snatch the Duke's bride. Will Xiao Qingyuan agree?"

"Prince Xiao agreed and seemed very happy. Before leaving, he smiled and said that he and the master had a good understanding!"

Shen Wantang closed her eyes. From the sound of it, it seemed that Xiao Qingyuan had been planning to steal the bride for a long time?

Is this what he always said he would do to her? She had clearly rejected him, but he still wanted to steal her away. It was obvious that he didn't take her feelings seriously and didn't care whether she was happy or not. He just wanted to be happy.

If he steals the bride, he will be in the spotlight tomorrow, and people will praise him for his true nature, deep love for her, etc.

No wonder Shen Guannian said complacently that the method he thought of was the best of both worlds. If Xiao Qingyuan really snatched the bride away, Gu Qianhan and the Duke's Mansion really couldn't blame Shen Guannian!

Seeing Shen Wantang's unhappy expression, Sanshui asked cautiously, "Second Miss, this is such a serious matter. Do you think you should send a message to your uncle-in-law so that he can be prepared, lest he be caught off guard tomorrow and let Prince Xiao snatch you away?"

Shen Wantang shook her head: "No need."

Sanshui is her man, so there is no need for Sanshui to deliver the letter to Gu Qianhan. There are two of Gu Qianhan's men around her. If Qingjin and Qingyin know about it, Gu Qianhan will definitely know about it too.

What's more, she thought it would be better to take advantage of the situation!

It would be fine if she didn't know their plan, but now that she already knew it, she naturally had to make good use of it.

Compared with her in scheming and strategy, Xiao Qingyuan and Shen Guannian combined are not even half as good as her!

-

In the study.

Shen Guannian was carefully wiping off the dust on his official uniform. After wiping the uniform, he changed into a new handkerchief and carefully wiped his official hat, which was already very clean.

Having lost it and then found it again, he now treasures this outfit like a treasure.

As for his daughter who was about to get married, he didn't care about her at all.

As I was wiping, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang.

He thought it was a servant, and turned around to curse "no manners", but when he saw the person coming, his voice was stuck in his throat.

He couldn't believe it!

Why is Gu Qianhan here? !

Dafeng has a custom that the bride and groom are not allowed to see each other the night before the wedding! Isn't it a blatant violation of the rules for him to come to the Shen family at this time?

"Sir Shen, what a refined mood."

Gu Qianhan's cold voice echoed throughout the study: "My daughter is getting married tomorrow, and instead of taking care of the wedding arrangements for her, you're sitting here wiping my hat over and over again. What? Do you also think this hat is too green?"

The official hat was clearly black, but Gu Qianhan insisted on saying it was green. It was obvious that he already knew that Qi had cheated on him, and he was just trying to annoy him.

Shen Guannian's face twitched, he was furious but didn't dare to scold him.

Fortunately, the damn Gu Qianhan will not be able to be so proud tomorrow. When Shen Guannian thought that Xiao Qingyuan would snatch the bride away tomorrow, he felt a lot more relieved.

Serves him right! Gu Qianhan doesn't respect him as his father-in-law, so his daughter can't marry him! His efforts are in vain, so go cry!

"Second Young Master, isn't it against the rules for you to come here today? It's only for one night. You can marry Tang'er tomorrow. Why don't you be patient for a while?"

Gu Qianhan's expression was indifferent: "So, you calculated that I wouldn't come today due to the rules, so you went to see Xiao Qingyuan and had a drink with him?"

Shen Guannian's face froze. He saw that Xiao Qingyuan had clearly avoided people and even chose a quiet teahouse, but he didn't expect that Gu Qianhan still knew about it!

What else does he know?!

Shen Guannian's heart was pounding, but he said stubbornly, "Second Young Master, isn't he being too nosy? It's okay for me to meet with Prince Xiao, right? Do I really have no freedom to meet anyone?"

"I don't care if you see other people, but I can't let you see Xiao Qingyuan."

"Why not? Prince Xiao is no different from other people. When I met him, it was just an ordinary favor."

"Ordinary favors? But I heard that your official position was regained by Xiao Qingyuan."

Shen Guannian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Second Young Master, you're joking. I already had the official position, but I had to put it on hold due to mourning. Now I'm just back on duty."

Gu Qianhan glanced at him indifferently: "Xiao Qingyuan will not help you for no reason. What did you promise him?"

"What a misunderstanding, Second Young Master, I didn't promise him anything!"

Shen Guannian was afraid that Gu Qianhan would find out, so he immediately cried out in injustice: "Second Young Master, who do you think I am? I am innocent. I got my official position through my own real ability. It has nothing to do with Master Xiao!"

I don’t know if it was because he acted too well, but Gu Qianhan didn’t pursue the matter further.

Shen Guannian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a long while, he finally heard Gu Qianhan ask indifferently, "Master Shen, will there be any problems with tomorrow's wedding?"
