Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 761 Similarities between Brothers

Meng Yunlan felt a chill in his heart when he saw Gu Qianhan's cold and unyielding look.

He has now classified her as an outsider. She is treated the same as other women outside. She no longer receives any pity or tolerance from him, only indifference!

And the instigator of all this is Shen Wantang!

It was Shen Wantang who took away her treatment and ruined her position in Gu Qianhan's heart! If she hadn't married into the family, Gu Qianhan would still respect her as the eldest sister-in-law, listen to her, and give her enough face!

Meng Yunlan was shaking with anger, looking at Shen Wantang with gritted teeth, wishing he could tear her into pieces.

"Why are you looking at me like that, sister-in-law?"

Shen Wantang stepped back, her face filled with uneasiness. "Sister-in-law, you won't think I ordered your maidservant to be taken away for punishment again, will you? I didn't do anything. Sister-in-law, please stop glaring at me. I'm scared."

Gu Qianling also noticed Meng Yunlan's strangeness, and he immediately pulled her aside: "Yunlan."

Meng Yunlan barely suppressed his anger and said in a complaining tone, "I didn't say anything, so why is my sister-in-law blaming me? You too, my second brother had my maid and nanny taken away, and you didn't say a word to help me? They've served me since childhood, they're my family, how could they be punished for no reason like this?"

Gu Qianling looked at Gu Qianhan and said, "Second brother, stop messing around. Quickly release your sister-in-law's maid and don't make a big deal out of it, or else Mother will worry."

"Brother, I'm not messing around."

Gu Qianhan's expression was indifferent: "This house should have been cleaned up long ago. My eldest sister-in-law's housekeeper has made such a mess of it. It's really disappointing."

"First, no one sent a carriage to take Atang back to the mansion. Then, someone gossiped in front of my sister-in-law, saying that my men were punished by Atang. These two people don't take their master seriously."

"My sister-in-law is soft-hearted and doesn't want to teach them a lesson, so I'll be the bad guy."

"Oh, by the way, Manager Pang couldn't even manage a carriage. He was extremely incompetent. I also gave him a lesson and then replaced him with a new manager."

After he finished speaking, he took Shen Wantang's hand and said calmly, "It's getting late. Brother and sister-in-law, please go back. Don't come to my yard unless necessary."

Then, he took Shen Wantang to Qionghua Courtyard.

Meng Yunlan watched the two of them leave, and no matter how she called Gu Qianhan from behind, he did not turn back.

She was furious and anxious: "Gu Qianling, don't you care about your brother? How can he punish my people without authorization?! Isn't this a slap in my face? How can I survive in the mansion in the future? How can I manage the household?"

With no one else around, only the couple and a trembling Qiao Zhiyu were left. Gu Qianling's face darkened.

There was a hint of sharpness in his voice: "Why are you coming to my second brother's place again? Not only did you provoke him, but you also framed his wife. How can he tolerate this? Is he a vegetarian? Wasn't the lesson you learned yesterday enough?!"

It was the first time Meng Yunlan heard him speak to her in such a sharp tone. She was extremely shocked. The man in front of her didn't look like her gentle and elegant husband at all!

He is somewhat similar to the indifferent and cold Gu Qianhan!

She had never thought that the two brothers looked alike before, but only today did she realize that they actually had striking similarities! It was just that Gu Qianling had been hiding this other side of himself too well!

Meng Yunlan's tone was filled with disbelief: "Gu Qianling, are you blaming me? Are you being mean to me?? I was wronged, and you didn't stand up for me, but you actually blame me?!"

Gu Qianling looked at her, his expression quickly returning to a gentle one. "I'm not blaming you, but my second brother is inherently strong and undisciplined. It's really inappropriate for you to rashly come to him and interfere in his affairs. It's easy to arouse his rebelliousness and make things even more uncontrollable."

"Yunlan, this isn't like you. You've never been to Qianhan's courtyard before, and you've never interfered with the affairs of Qionghua Courtyard. Now, are you getting too close to Qianhan?"

"What's wrong with you lately?"

Meng Yunlan's face was full of grievance: "Didn't I tell you that I'm worried that my second brother and his wife won't get along, so I came here to persuade them."

"I didn't come to my second brother's place very often before. After all, as the eldest sister-in-law, I had to avoid suspicion with my younger brother-in-law. But now he's married, so there's nothing for me to avoid now, right?"

"Besides, I treat him and my sister-in-law as my own siblings, so I wanted to get closer to them. Who would have thought that my sister-in-law didn't want to get close to me at all?"

"And she seems to be secretly competing with me and won't let my second brother get close to me. Now my second brother has become estranged from me and treats me as an outsider. My heart is broken!"

Qiao Zhiyu, who was standing by, rolled his eyes.

How hypocritical!

She is so good at pretending and acting. If she didn't know who Meng Yunlan is, she would have been fooled by her.

Looking at Gu Qianling again, his face was full of pity, as if he had been deceived by Meng Yunlan's words.

This won't do. Meng Yunlan is so hypocritical that she is not worthy of such a good Gu Qianling. She has to find a way to expose Meng Yunlan and let Gu Qianling know what kind of person she is!

Then she can take advantage of the opportunity, right?

"From now on, don't interfere in the affairs of my second brother's room. No matter whether my second brother or his wife punishes the people in their yard, don't interfere."

Gu Qianling stepped forward and held Meng Yunlan's hand, his tone becoming increasingly gentle: "You are already weak and have been seeing a doctor. Don't worry about those messy things. The doctor also said that you should not worry too much. It is not good for your health."

"Okay, I won't care anymore. My kindness is being taken for granted, so why should I bother? But first, you have to go find my second brother and ask him to get the maid and the nanny back for me! Don't let my second brother really punish them, they haven't done anything wrong."

Gu Qianling sighed: "What kind of personality does he have? You've been married for five years, don't you know it? If he listens to me, will my parents be wary of him like a thief?"

Meng Yunlan was stunned. "What do you mean? Are you just going to leave it alone? Just let him take my people away and punish my people?"

"My second brother knows his limits and won't go too far. You don't have to worry too much. He should return the person to you tomorrow. Go back first and don't make things too ugly."

Meng Yunlan yanked his hand out of his grasp: "Gu Qianling! How come you don't act like a big brother at all? You just let your brother bully me and make me swallow my anger?!"

"Keep your voice down. This is not the place to quarrel. Let's go back first."

"I'm not going back! Are you going to go find Gu Qianhan and ask for him?"

Gu Qianling's brows knitted slightly, and he said calmly, "You should understand that even if I go, I won't be able to come back."
