Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 601 Sir Shen, do you not agree that Miss 2 will marry me?

Shen Guannian was shocked. How did Gu Qianhan know that Shen Wantang was beaten?

And what is his name Shen Wantang? Ah Tang?

Why was he calling her so affectionately and so casually? Could it be that he thought that since the Duke's Mansion had come to propose marriage, Shen Wantang was his?!

"Master Shen."

Gu Qianhan's cold voice echoed in the silent room: "Did you hit her?"

Shen Guannian hurriedly denied: "No, it wasn't me! How could I hit her, I——"

"So you did hit her. Who did it?"

Shen Guannian subconsciously glanced at Qi and said hesitantly: "Second Master, this is actually a trivial matter. Right now——"

"This is no small matter. Hitting Atang's face is like hitting me, Gu Qianhan, and the Duke's Mansion. Lord Shen, let me ask you again, who hit Atang?"

Shen Guannian's words were interrupted and his face turned purple. However, Gu Qianhan was obviously here to settle accounts with them, so how could he dare to tell the truth?

He glanced at the two rows of black-clad secret guards who looked terrifying, and felt a sudden pang of fear for no reason.

He had long heard that the second son of the Gu family was cold-blooded and ruthless. A few days ago, he even heard that the second son did not even take the Duke of Zhenguo seriously and had said that he wanted to be the Duke of Zhenguo. His father was so angry that he vomited blood and fell ill, and he did not go to court for several days.

He is simply the number one person in Dafeng who is against Tiangang!

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Shen Guannian barely suppressed his panic and fear, and said with a stiff upper lip, "Second Young Master, Tang'er's beating is a family affair of the Shen family, and it's inconvenient to tell outsiders. Right now, the Shen family has something more important that they would like to ask for your help. My daughter disappeared after receiving the letter from you, and I wonder if you..."

Gu Qianhan sneered, "The second young lady being beaten is a family affair of the Shen family, so it's inconvenient to tell an outsider like me. But the eldest young lady's disappearance is not a family affair of the Shen family, so you're asking an outsider like me for help? Shen Guannian, are you too shameless, or do you not even consider your second daughter a human being?"

"No, no, no, Tang'er is my most beloved daughter, but my eldest daughter is now..."

"I'm asking you who beat Atang. If you don't understand what I'm saying, then find someone who can!"

"Second Young Master, I..."

"Obsidian!"

"Son."

"I guess he was the one who hit Atang in the face, so you hit him back for Atang."

"Yes!"

"No! Second Young Master, it really wasn't me, it was—"

Before Shen Guannian could finish his words, Hei Yao stepped forward and slapped him twice, knocking him to the ground. His teeth were loose, his cheeks were swollen, and the corners of his lips were bleeding.

Shen Guannian was in so much pain that he saw stars. He couldn't believe it! Gu Qianhan actually started fighting right away! Was he crazy?

Didn't he want to marry Shen Wantang? Shouldn't he then please his father-in-law? Why was he different from other sons-in-law?!

She hasn't even married Shen Wantang to him yet. If she really does marry him, what will happen?!

At the top, Gu Qianhan's angular face was cold and stern: "Lord Shen's ears are not very useful. They are just standing there for decoration. His ears are useless. Drag him out and cut them off!"

"Yes!"

Hei Yao drew out his long sword with a bang, and two of his men came forward, dragged Shen Guannian out.

Shen Guannian was terrified. He pointed at Qi and screamed in fear, "It wasn't me who hit him. It was Qi Xiangru! She hit him!"

Gu Qianhan's cold gaze fell on Qi: "Did you hit him?"

Qi was already frightened by Gu Qianhan's overwhelming momentum and fierce tactics, her face pale, but she pretended to be calm and defended herself, "Second Young Master, I am Tang'er's mother. She made a mistake, so it's understandable that I teach her a lesson."

"After all, I'm doing this for her own good. A good piece of jade can't be made without polishing, and a good son is made under the stick. A child should be beaten when he deserves it, otherwise he will go astray."

"What's more, that girl was so treacherous that she beat me up. She's already taken revenge. Why would Second Young Master come to our house in the middle of the night and be so aggressive?"

"Could it be that before Tang'er even married into your Duke's Mansion, the Second Young Master has already started meddling in our Shen family's affairs? This is unacceptable no matter where you look at it, right?"

Qi talked a lot in a flash. Making unreasonable arguments was her strong point. Normally, few people could defeat her in an argument. But now, the more nervous she was, the more she could speak, and the more fluent she spoke.

In the end, she even straightened her back and said confidently, "Second Young Master even ordered his men to beat my husband. You are so rude, then our daughter cannot marry you no matter what! Our Shen family affairs have nothing to do with an outsider like you. You can leave now!"

Gu Qianhan stood up and walked in front of Shen Guannian: "Heiyao, slap your face!"

After receiving the order, Hei Yao raised his hand and slapped Shen Guannian twice!

Shen Guannian screamed, "Why are you hitting me?! I didn't say anything just now! And it was that bitch who hit Tang'er, so hit her!"

Gu Qianhan said indifferently: "Hei Yao, you hit the wrong person."

Hei Yao said nothing, turned around and hit Qi again. After a few slaps, Qi was screaming like a ghost.

Gu Qianhan frowned slightly: "Seal her mouth. The scream is so scary. Don't wake Atang up. What if she gets scared and can't sleep well?"

Hei Yao grabbed a rag from the table and stuffed it into Qi's mouth.

The screams finally died down, and Gu Qianhan nodded: "That's pretty good."

He looked at Shen Wantang and asked condescendingly, "Sir Shen, do you and your wife agree? Do you disagree with the Second Miss marrying me?"

Shen Guannian was held down by two secret guards on the shoulders. His mouth was full of blood, and his heart was filled with anger and fear. He didn't dare to answer for a long time.

"Master Shen?"

"Second Master, I, I..."

"Master Shen, don't be anxious. Take your time. I have a whole night to listen to your answer. I am the most patient person."

Shen Guannian was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly. "I, I also want to marry Tang'er to you, but, but the Ning Palace also has a crush on Tang'er and has come to propose marriage. Moreover, the Ning Palace's wife has already decided on Tang'er as her daughter-in-law. I can't do that. I can't break my promise."

Gu Qianhan's voice was cold: "So, you are planning to marry Atang to Prince Ning's Mansion?"

"Well, Prince Ning's Mansion is very sincere."

Even though Shen Guannian was afraid of Gu Qianhan, he couldn't suppress the greed in his heart. This was his best chance to get his job back!

As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. With Shen Wantang as his daughter, Gu Qianhan wouldn't dare to kill him! If all else fails, he can just ask someone to call Shen Wantang over. Gu Qianhan wouldn't dare to take action in front of Shen Wantang, right?

"Moreover, the Ning Palace has promised to reinstate me and help me get promoted in the future. Second Young Master, the greatest ambition of us scholars is to serve the Emperor. The Ning Palace and Prince Xiao are willing to help me realize my ambition, and they were the first to decide on Tang'er. I have no choice but to agree to the Ning Palace's proposal."
