Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 350 The strong melon is not sweet

"Who said I took Xia Chan in just to listen to your private affairs?"

Shen Wantang said indifferently: "Xiao Qingyuan, you don't think that I really like you, do you? You don't think that the little things in your room really interest me, do you?"

Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly: "You don't admit that you like me now? How much do you want to consummate your marriage with me? Do you want me to tell everyone in your yard? Shen Wantang, I'm saving face for you, don't be ungrateful!"

Shen Wantang suddenly laughed, she almost laughed to tears: "You'll save face for me? When? What face?"

"Whether in the mansion or outside, whether in front of my family or in front of outsiders, you always mention divorcing me. I feel so proud, Xiao Qingyuan!"

"On the night of our wedding, my husband left without even lifting his veil. Since we got married, he has not consummated the marriage with me. I am the most prestigious woman in the entire capital!"

"Xiao Qingyuan, please speak. Why are you mute? I'm curious. If this is considered giving me face, then what does it mean not to give me face?"

Xiao Qingyuan was speechless and couldn't say anything.

Before coming here, he had a lot to say, but after being scolded by Shen Wantang, he suddenly felt like a bit of a nobody.

He was speechless, but Qin Xin started to talk: "Why did the prince come to the princess in the middle of the night to question her? Who instigated you? Huayi?"

"Of the two maids in your yard, one died and the other fell ill. The Crown Prince's Consort helped you properly place Chundie and comfort her family, so that you don't have to worry about the future. Shouldn't you thank her?"

"Then the Crown Princess took over the sick girl you disliked, treated her, increased her monthly allowance, and appeased her. But in the end, not only were you not grateful to the Crown Princess, you even falsely accused her of trying to spy on your private affairs?"

"Is the Crown Prince's Consort such a person? If she really wants to know what's going on in your room, can't she just call the maid to ask? If she asks and then sends her away, won't she leave no evidence at all?"

"Why did she take Xia Chan in? Could it be that the Crown Prince's wife wants to ask Xia Chan about what happened in your room every day? Who would have such an incredible habit?"

"I think that anyone who can think of taking in Xia Chan in order to spy on the prince's private affairs is a pervert and a lunatic!"

Xiao Qingyuan finally came back to his senses and angrily rebuked Qin Xin: "A maid like you has no right to speak here, so shut up!"

Although he scolded Qin Xin and although he disliked Qin Xin very much in his heart, he also felt that there was some truth in what Qin Xin said - if Shen Wantang really wanted to spy on the private affairs in his room, he could just secretly ask Xia Chan and then drive her away.

There was only one possibility for not driving away the stupid Xia Chan - Shen Wantang was really kind-hearted and couldn't bear to let the maid live on the streets.

Could it be that he misunderstood her again?

"Shen Wantang, I won't pursue the matter of you taking in Xia Chan, but I don't want the new maid you gave me!"

"Well, forget it."

Shen Wantang was able to control her emotions freely. Just now she looked as sad as if a man had betrayed her sincerity, but in the blink of an eye she had regained her usual calm and composed self.

Her voice was light and her tone was calm: "My Lord, remember this, it was you who didn't want a maid, not me who didn't give her one. If you need help in your courtyard, don't come to me to make trouble again."

"I'm not a child, why would I bother you? Ridiculous!"

Xiao Qingyuan couldn't help but tell her that he was about to make a lot of money: "There will be no shortage of manpower in my courtyard. I will hire maids myself, so you don't have to worry about it! Yan Luo has developed the best scar removal ointment in the world. A small bottle can be sold for ten taels of gold!"

"Moreover, Yan Luo has personally verified that the drug is effective and has no side effects. Once this good drug starts selling, I will be able to earn ten thousand taels of gold within a month!"

Shen Wantang smiled coldly: "Everyone can brag. If you have the ability, then you can make ten thousand taels of gold and show me."

"Hmph, just wait! I will definitely make ten thousand taels of gold, and then you will have to apologize to me! Because, I am not bragging! It is you who underestimates me!"

"Okay, you can go now. I'm going to sleep."

After Shen Wantang finished speaking, she stood up and walked into the inner room without paying any attention to Xiao Qingyuan.

Soon, the light in the inner room was blown out, and she actually fell asleep.

Xiao Qingyuan stood there, angry and unwilling.

Did Shen Wantang like him or not? He was confused by her!

One moment she confesses her love to him in her wedding dress, tenderly and affectionately, and the next moment she doesn't want to stay with him for even a moment, and he is not even as important to her as sleeping!

It felt like she had two souls in one body, one that liked him and one that didn't, but every time he saw her, he couldn't be sure which soul was talking to him.

Seeing that he was not leaving, Qin Xin pushed him like a stick and said, "Prince, the Crown Princess has gone to bed, why don't you go back? Are you going to stay at our Crown Princess's place tonight? It's unfortunate that the Crown Prince wants to stay but the Crown Princess doesn't want to. A forced melon is not sweet. Please go back, Crown Prince!"

Xiao Qingyuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Is this damn girl blind? How could she know that he was going to force Shen Wantang to be his wife? !

He spoke as if he liked Shen Wantang so much!

"Nonsense! I will never stay at your Crown Prince's Consort's place! I have my own yard, which is much better than this one! Anyone who stays in your yard is a dog!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Qin Xin saw him leave, but she felt very conflicted. She went into the inner room and whispered to Shen Wantang, who was lying on the bed, "Prince's Consort, is it okay to anger the prince like this? Isn't this pushing the prince towards Hua Yi?"

Shen Wantang yawned and said nonchalantly with his eyes closed: "It's good that he was pushed away. This way I can sleep well. If he really stays here, we will be busy. Now, let Huayi go. She is of some use."

"But the two maids you sent to the prince were both returned by him. What should we do?"

"Don't worry, someone will deliver it to the prince on my behalf."

"Who?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

After Shen Wantang finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Du Juan lowered the curtain for her and pulled Qin Xin out of the inner room: "The Crown Prince's Consort is about to go to bed, why are you still talking about this and that? Even if there is something important, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Qin Xin scratched her head and asked, "The Crown Prince's wife said that someone would send a maid to the Crown Prince on her behalf. Do you know who she is talking about?"

"You don't know, how could I know?"

Du Juan thought for a long time and asked hesitantly: "Could it be the princess?"

Qin Xin shook her head: "Not likely."

"Is that the prince?"

"Then it's even more impossible."

"Who is that?"

Qin Xin: “…”
