Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 560: The Thank-You Gift from the Duke's Mansion

Shen Wantang looked at the mother and daughter, and once again felt that rebirth was actually a punishment.

Why should she go through the pain of being tortured by this mother and daughter again?

In her last life, she finally dealt with both of them, and now she has to do it all over again! She has really had enough!

Or maybe just give them some medicine to make them both mute first.

Shen Wantang's cold gaze shifted from Qi to Shen Mingxuan, and then from Shen Mingxuan to Qi. Who should he drug first?

As she was thinking, a maid hurried in.

"Master, Madam, there is a nanny named Chang outside, with several maids and servants, saying that they are from the Duke's Mansion and want to see Madam and the second young lady."

Shen Guannian was stunned: "What? Someone really came from the Duke's Mansion?"

Qi's face was filled with anxiety: "Master, what should we do? They must have heard the rumors outside and are angry, so they are here to settle accounts with us!"

"I told you that Tang'er didn't save the Duke's wife, but you refused to believe me! Now your lie is exposed in front of you!"

"If you are afraid of being embarrassed, why don't you just avoid it? I will say that you are not at home, and I will deal with the visitors from the Duke's Mansion on my own for Tang'er."

Shen Guannian couldn't help but hesitate, and while he was hesitating, Nanny Chang had already come in with her people.

After introducing herself in a rather imposing manner, she looked at Shen Wantang, bowed with a smile, and said, "Second Miss, we meet again."

Shen Wantang returned the gift and smiled at her: "I didn't expect to see Madam again so soon. Madam, is there something you want to see me for?"

"I came here on Madam's orders to thank the Second Miss. Yesterday—"

Before Nanny Chang finished her words, Shen Guannian, who had been planning to hide, suddenly stood up and asked, "What did you say? Are you here to thank me?"

Nanny Chang turned to look at him and said, "Oh, this must be Lord Shen, right? You didn't say anything just now, so I didn't see you. Why, you didn't hear that the second young lady saved our Duke's wife?"

Shen Guannian went from being surprised to being delighted: "This is actually true?!"

"Of course it's true. Our lady has been praising the second young lady for her intelligence and superb medical skills since yesterday! Our lady suddenly fainted, and the monks of Fazhen Temple couldn't save her. The second young lady gave our lady a few injections, and she woke up."

Shen Guannian was overjoyed when he heard this, and his face immediately became red. "Yes, I have been cultivating this daughter carefully and educating her with my heart. I taught her all kinds of skills just to let her stand up at the critical moment! She was able to save the Duke's wife, very good, very good! My teaching of her is worth it!"

Shen Wantang listened to Shen Guannian shamelessly praising himself, with a slight hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips. Then he looked at Qi. The fake smile on her face was so ugly that if you didn't know better, you would think she was crying!

Over there, Nanny Chang exchanged a few polite words with Shen Guannian, and then asked the maids to bring the things they brought to Shen Wantang.

"The Second Miss saved our Madam, and Madam is grateful, so she sent me to deliver a thank-you gift. It's not a good thing, but just a gift for the Second Miss to play with. Please accept it."

As Nanny Chang finished her words, the maids and servants opened the boxes one by one.

A pair of jade bracelets, a set of red gold head ornaments, a brocade and gold thread shawl, a pair of tourmaline earrings, a set of cloisonné enamel rouge and powder, and a box of round and plump oriental pearls.

There were also six pieces of brocade cloth that could not fit into the box.

Shen Mingxuan stretched her neck to look into the box. When she saw what was inside, she gasped!

Is it that serious? Is it that serious? Huh? ! !

Didn't he just save the Duke's wife? Didn't he just faint for a moment? The Duke's Mansion sent so many priceless treasures? Even if the Duke's Mansion has money, it can't be so wasteful! !

Not to mention anything else, just the box of Dongzhu, she had seen it once in the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The minister's daughter treasured it like a treasure, saying that each pearl was worth thousands of taels of silver!

The key point is that there is only one in the Minister's Mansion, and it is not as big as the one sent by the Duke's Mansion, nor as bright!

Shen Mingxuan felt dizzy. So many treasures, but they all belonged to Shen Wantang? Didn't she become rich overnight?

Why? !

Why does Shen Wantang have such good luck!

Damn it, if I had known she would go to Fazhen Temple too!

Not only Shen Mingxuan felt dizzy, even Shen Guannian and Qi were shocked by the lavish spending of the Duke's Mansion.

They knew that the Duke's Mansion was wealthy enough to rival a country, but they didn't expect them to be so generous!

They got rich! They got rich! The Shen family got rich!

The couple was staring at those things greedily when they heard Nanny Chang say, "Sir Shen, Madam Shen, before I came, our Duke's wife specifically told me that these thank-you gifts are for the Second Miss alone. You two won't let anyone take away our Madam's gifts, right?"

Shen Guannian's face froze, and he quickly retracted his greedy gaze: "Madam, you are joking. How could anyone steal the Duke's wife's affection?"

Qi laughed hypocritically: "Since it is for thanking Tang'er, the thank-you gift should naturally belong to Tang'er. This child... is well-behaved, this is what she deserves."

Shen Mingxuan's eyes turned red with jealousy: "Sister, you are so lucky! I really admire you so much!"

Nanny Chang glanced at Shen Mingxuan indifferently, feeling a little disdainful. They were both born of the same father, but this legitimate daughter was quite unpresentable. She couldn't even hide her jealousy.

Looking at Shen Wantang again, she was still the same as before. She was not shocked by the generous thank-you gift from the Duke's Mansion, nor was she emotional. She was so calm and composed that she didn't seem like a daughter that could be raised by the Shen family.

She just smiled softly: "Thank you for making this trip, Madam. Please convey my gratitude to Madam on my behalf. This is the first time I have received such a big gift. I will definitely cherish it and keep it properly."

Nanny Chang understood that the second young lady was telling her not to worry, because she could keep these things and no one else could take them away.

Nanny Chang smiled. The Second Young Miss was indeed smart and intelligent, and not someone who could be bullied. No wonder the Second Young Master liked her so much. She had even started to like her.

Since the second young lady was able to keep the things, she could go back and report with peace of mind.

She said goodbye and left, and the main courtyard soon fell into silence.

Because everyone, including Shen Guannian, was staring at the boxes containing treasures.

Shen Wantang glanced at these so-called close relatives of hers and told the maid calmly, "Dujuan, move all my things back to the yard. Don't leave anything behind."

Du Juan was very excited: "Yes, Miss!"

Shen Guannian yelled, "Wait!"

Shen Wantang looked at him calmly: "Why, father, are you going to move things for me personally?"

Shen Guannian swallowed hard: "Tang'er, you can't use all these things by yourself, why don't you let your father help you..."
