Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 725 Qiao Zhiyu Didn’t Disappoint Me

Another point is that Shen Wantang knew that the entire Gu family had been exterminated twice, and all the people had been killed without leaving any survivors.

Deep down in her heart, she felt that they were too miserable, and she couldn't help but have some sympathy for them, and she didn't want to destroy the peace in the Duke's Mansion before the storm.

In addition, she didn't want Gu Qianhan to be distracted by trivial matters at home. She hoped that he would devote himself to preparing for that tough battle.

A combination of many reasons is why she is "unable to stand up".

But now someone has stepped on her head. If she doesn't stand up, her head will be crushed to pieces!

And after what happened today, she found that Gu Qianhan's situation was not so urgent that she couldn't distract herself at all.

Normally, she never went to the study in the front yard to disturb him, for fear of delaying him from handling important matters. But today, she saw that Meng Yunlan had let her in and they could chat for a while, so it didn't delay anything.

So what was she worried about? She was just going all out, stepping back on everyone who stepped on her!

Even if her husband's men stepped on her, that was not okay! She had to step on him back! She had to step on his head!

The water in the bathtub has gradually become cold, but Shen Wantang does not feel cold at all. Her heart is beating strongly, her brain is working at high speed, and her whole body is warm.

It was Dujuan who was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she reminded her that it was time to come out. Only then did she get out of the bathtub and change into dry clothes.

Qi Yu came over with ginger soup in her hand: "Young Madam, have a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold!"

Shen Wantang took the ginger soup and said, "You all drink a bowl too. We've all been caught in the rain today, don't catch a cold. Nanny Yan, you drink a bowl too."

Nanny Yan came over and said, "Young Madam, the young master has left. Before he left, he said he would go to the front yard to clean up his men to make sure no one would disrespect you in the future. He would come back later to apologize to you in person."

Shen Wantang didn't take it seriously. Gu Qianhan's men were so arrogant towards her, so of course he had to deal with them.

But if she really wants to ensure that no one will disrespect her in the future, she cannot rely entirely on Gu Qianhan. Her own strength and power are the basis for her to win the support of others.

Shen Wantang personally handed a bowl of ginger soup to Nanny Yan. After watching Nanny Yan drink it, she smiled and said, "Thanks to you for speaking on my behalf in front of the eldest master today, I've chosen you to be my housekeeper. I've found a treasure and gotten a huge bargain! If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare say that!"

Nanny Yan's solemn face showed a hint of a smile. "Young Madam, you are praising me. I am just taking advantage of my seniority and experience in serving you. But the most important thing is that the eldest son knows he is in the wrong. The Duke's Mansion can't even send a carriage. Telling this to others would be embarrassing for him."

As she was speaking, Shuxiang pushed the door open and walked in. She was covered in moisture, but her eyes were shining: "Young Madam!"

"What's wrong? Where have you been? Your clothes are all wet."

Shuxiang didn't care whether her clothes were wet or not. She said excitedly, "I followed Qinxin's gossip-mongering ways and went to hang out with Madam. There was a quarrel over there!"

Shen Wantang was startled for a moment, then laughed: "Oh? Are they arguing so soon? Who's arguing with whom?"

"The eldest young master and the eldest young lady! Madam is also very dissatisfied with the eldest young lady and is very angry!"

Shuxiang now finally understood why Qinxin was so keen on eavesdropping on gossip. It was so exciting to listen to the scene from a first-person perspective!

"They started arguing in front of my mother-in-law? That shouldn't be the case. Meng Yunlan wouldn't do such a stupid thing, right?"

"Originally there wouldn't be a quarrel, but someone fanned the flames!"

Shen Wantang raised his eyebrows: "Are you talking about Qiao Zhiyu?"

Shuxiang nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, that's her! You don't know how much of a green tea she is. She's so infuriating! In front of the Madam, she said that the eldest young lady's wife was ashamed of the Gu family for not being able to have children, and apologized on her behalf! She also said that she was willing to make amends for her wife's mistakes!"

"The eldest young master's wife was so angry that she almost turned on him and cursed him, saying she would send someone to send her back to the Qiao family. She immediately knelt down before the eldest young master, hugged his legs and cried bitterly, and even accused the eldest young master's wife of wanting to kill her own cousin!"

"No matter what the eldest master said, she just refused to let go and refused to leave! She's still crying now!"

After hearing this, Qin Xin slapped her thigh anxiously: "Oh, how could I miss such a good show! No, I have to go and see it too!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't even bother to drink the ginger soup. She picked up an umbrella and ran out.

Shen Wantang laughed, but didn't care about her and let her go.

"Well, that's great. Qiao Zhiyu really didn't disappoint me. It's worth it that I gave her such an expensive dress."

Shen Wantang was very satisfied with Qiao Zhiyu's performance. She stood up, opened the window, and looked at the incessant downpour outside with a contented look on her face: "The storm has just begun. Are you all ready?"

Du Juan and the others looked at each other, not knowing who the "you" she was talking about were.

But from the looks of it, it seems that the master is not talking about them.

Shen Wantang's mood improved, and he finally felt hungry: "Dujuan, I'm hungry, ask the kitchen to send some delicious food!"

"Yes!"

"Oh, by the way, I heard Meng Yunlan specially made blood bird's nest today to nourish my husband. Then let's make it too. Let's nourish him. I'm really exhausted today!"

"Young Madam, how long do you want to endure?"

"It's all done!"

"Huh? This... isn't it a bit too much?"

"Not much, I still think it's too little! After it's cooked, give a bowl to each of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, a bowl to my eldest brother, and a bowl to Qiao Zhiyu! Take the rest back and we'll eat it ourselves."

"Ah? Do you want to send it to Miss Qiao's place too?"

"Of course she has to, otherwise how can she have the energy to be affectionate with her good cousin? Her cousin is so angry with her tonight, she probably won't give her any food."

"Then we can send other food!"

"How can I give my sister-in-law something else to get angry about? Of course I have to give her the blood bird's nest that she herself can't bear to eat!"

"Do you want to send it to the Second Young Master?"

"Him? Doesn't his sister-in-law send him some? It's not good to take too much in one day. He shouldn't eat it."

Du Juan hesitated, "But you sent the eldest son away and not the second son. If the second son knew, would he be angry?"

Shen Wantang chuckled. "How could that be? The Second Young Master isn't that petty. I'm not even angry yet, so how could he be angry? My sister-in-law loves and takes care of my husband for me, so naturally I should repay her kindness and take care of my husband for her. As human beings, we should give and take. How could we let my sister-in-law suffer such a huge loss?"

Dujuan started scratching her head again. Why did she feel that her master was smiling like a fox?

The eldest young lady could have picked anyone else to mess with, but she had to mess with her. Now she has hit a wall!
