Chapter 781 The carriage was robbed
Gu Qianhan had read all those files. He recognized her handwriting and knew which ones were written by her.
He knew her strength better than anyone else.
Gu Qianhan did know Shen Wantang's strength, but he was not very happy that his elder brother paid so much attention to Shen Wantang this time.
"Atang, there's no need to be modest. The complaint you wrote this time is excellent. It's now spread all over the Dali Temple. There's a woman with brilliant writing skills, rigorous logic, clear thinking, and a thorough understanding of Dafeng laws. She's even better at judging cases than the officials in the Dali Temple."
"Right now, everyone in the Dali Temple, from top to bottom, is feeling insecure, afraid of being outdone by you. Everyone is working incredibly hard."
"Chen Xiaowu's case has also been retried, and there should be a result soon."
Shen Wantang nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, my work has finally paid off."
Gu Qianhan hesitated for a moment: "Atang, you..."
"Hmm? What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong. I just want to ask you why you've suddenly changed your ways. You used to not like exposing your strength. Most of the time, you stayed behind the scenes, letting others take all the credit. Why are you showing off your strength now?"
"Because if I don't show my strength, I'll be looked down upon. Once looked down upon, my life will be inconvenient and many things will become obstacles. If I want to solve these problems once and for all, the best way is to make people dare not look down on me."
Gu Qianhan was stunned.
He realized almost instantly that he had not given her enough support and had not protected her, so she was forced to choose another path, a path in which she would have to convince everyone on her own.
After she got married in her previous two lives, she always stayed behind the scenes, because whether it was the Liao family or the Ning Wang Mansion, she held great power and no one could surpass her.
When she was at the Liao family, Liao Youhe helped her suppress everyone in the family, including his several fierce and difficult mothers.
When she was in Prince Ning's Mansion, Princess Ning helped her suppress everyone in the mansion, including Xiao Qingyuan.
But when he arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he was unable to suppress everyone for her. Even his own guards dared to speak disrespectfully to Shen Wantang.
A feeling of guilt welled up in him, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
Shen Wantang had no idea what Gu Qianhan was thinking at the moment. She was being helped by her maid to change into plainer clothes, change into appropriate jewelry, and put on the pair of jade bracelets that Madam Gu had just given her, and was ready to go out.
She was going to Baoyan Temple and "accidentally" meet the young lady of the Zhongjing Marquis's Mansion, so she couldn't wear anything too bright or flashy.
She wore bright clothes this morning on purpose, because she knew Qiao Zhiyu would definitely dress in an old-fashioned way.
"Is the carriage ready?"
"Replying to Madam, we are ready."
"Okay, let's go!"
Gu Qianhan stepped forward: "Atang, where are you going now?"
Shen Wantang did not hide it from him: "I'm going to Baoyan Temple."
"Go to Ho-yeon-ji Temple? Didn't you prefer to go to Ho-yeon-ji Temple?"
Before Shen Wantang could answer, Qin Xin hurried in: "Master!"
Shen Wantang's attention was immediately diverted: "Qin Xin, what happened?"
Qin Xin first glanced at Gu Qianhan, who seemed a little bewildered. Then she said, "It was the eldest young master's wife. She went to the stable herself and insisted on taking your carriage away!"
Shen Wantang's expression suddenly turned cold. "Another carriage. Is Meng Yunlan trying to pull his old trick again? Let's go and take a look!"
She raised her foot and walked out, but after a few steps she found that Gu Qianhan had followed her.
She reached out to stop him: "I'll go, you don't have to go, go and do your own thing!"
"How can that be? She's already taken your carriage. How can I not go and take a look? If I leave you to deal with Meng Yunlan alone, you'll be at a disadvantage no matter how you handle it. If you take back the carriage, people will easily accuse you of disrespecting your eldest sister-in-law. If you don't, people will easily accuse you of being weak and can be bullied. So, I'll handle this matter. Just go to the second gate and I'll send a carriage to pick you up there."
He had thought things through so thoroughly, considering every aspect for her. Shen Wantang laughed. "Actually, I don't mind being accused of disrespecting my eldest sister-in-law. But since my husband is so willing, let's go together! They say that a united heart can cut through metal. I wonder if we can get our carriage back if we work together?"
When Gu Qianhan saw that she called him "husband" instead of "Second Young Master", his heart finally settled down.
He reached out and tucked a strand of hair away from her ear, and whispered, "The carriage is yours. No one can take it away. It's easy for us to get it back."
He couldn't be so useless as to just sit at home and watch the carriage he had carefully prepared for her being snatched away by Meng Yunlan, right?
-
Stable.
Meng Yunlan sat in the luxurious and comfortable carriage and refused to get out.
The maids and servants in the stable knelt on the ground, and no one dared to let her leave in the carriage. After all, they were almost all new, and their master was not Meng Yunlan, but Gu Qianhan.
Especially Jixiang, who had just been sent to work in the stable. If he let Meng Yunlan take away the carriage today, he would never be able to return to serve Gu Qianhan in the future.
So, he didn't even kneel, but stood at the front of the carriage and shouted, "Madam, this is the carriage of our second young master's wife. The carriage of the main house is next door! You got on the wrong carriage!"
The stables of the Duke's Mansion are quite different from those of ordinary people. Not only does it occupy a large area, but each room and courtyard has its own independent stable. Each horse has two servants assigned to walk and feed it. The carriages are also equipped with special maids who come to clean and tidy up every day and add corresponding items.
In addition to the independent stables in each room and courtyard, there is another large stable where several spare horses are kept. Spare carriages, carriages, wheels, etc. are always kept in the awning.
Therefore, there has never been an incident of carriage robbery in the Duke's Mansion. After all, there are so many carriages, enough for the whole family.
This is the first time for Meng Yunlan today!
From the carriage, Meng Yunlan's gentle yet condescending voice rang out: "Our eldest wife's carriage is broken and can't be used, so we're temporarily borrowing my second brother's carriage. My second brother and I are like real siblings, so he wouldn't refuse such a small matter as borrowing the carriage."
"If he knew my carriage was broken, he would even offer it to me."
"But you, a bunch of servants, all wanted to stop me. If someone didn't know, they would think I had violated some heavenly law!"
"I haven't taken care of my family for a few days, but everyone has already ignored me. They even deliberately make it difficult for me to use a carriage."
"You're really rebelling against Tian Gang. You servants are controlling your masters! You don't want to do this anymore, right?"
