Shen Wan Tang's older sister, who had been reborn, snatched her marriage arrangement and pushed the Prince of Ning's heir, who had become a monk, onto her. "The Royal Estate is prospero...
Chapter 464 The person he likes is Shen Wantang!
"Gu Qianhan, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Qingyuan's expression turned hostile the moment he saw Gu Qianhan: "Get out of my way, you're blocking my way!"
Gu Qianhan stood there, motionless, his tone mocking: "The whole capital is talking about your romantic affair with Liu Nanshi, and Prince Xiao still has the mood to run around? Your skin is as thick as ever."
Xiao Qingyuan's face darkened: "I'm warning you, you can say whatever you want about me, but you're not allowed to say a single bad word about Nan Shi, or I'll fight you to the death!"
Gu Qianhan sneered: "You're putting on an act again. Anyone who didn't know better would think you're some devoted and good man! Wasn't it you who ruined Liu Nanshi's reputation? You wouldn't allow anyone to say a bad word about her, yet you directly destroyed her reputation and ruined her life, and you still have the nerve to warn me?"
"My relationship with Nan Shi was an accident! She was drugged and confused, which is why... that's why she clung to me and wouldn't let go!"
"The news that Liu Nanshi was drugged has spread throughout the capital, but I don't think I've heard that you, Prince Xiao, were also drugged! How come you couldn't break free when she, a weak woman, hugged you? I didn't know you were so frail. Taking advantage of someone's vulnerability and ruining their reputation, you are nothing but a despicable and shameless villain."
Xiao Qingyuan's face turned ashen and his scalp tingled from the rebuke. He was indeed feeling guilty about this. He could have pushed Liu Nanshi away at the time, but he didn't know why, but when he saw Liu Nanshi's alluring and yearning look, he couldn't move his feet.
He froze for a long while before finding his voice: "Gu Qianhan, I know you like Nan Shi, so you're angry with me, but I really didn't mean it. It happened so suddenly, and I couldn't protect you, so..."
"But don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility for Nan Shi. I will take good care of her and cherish her from now on, and I will never let her suffer any grievances!"
"Also, I really feel bad for you this time, because I touched the woman you like. I can make it up to you!"
Gu Qianhan raised an eyebrow slightly: "What, you have money now? Isn't the management of your royal residence in the hands of your Crown Princess?"
"I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about people!"
"A person? Who is it?"
"Shen Wantang!"
Gu Qianhan's eyes turned sharp and cold: "What happened to Shen Wantang?"
"Isn't your cousin Pei Lin'an having trouble finding a suitable woman? I can divorce Shen Wantang and give her to your cousin! Your mother mentioned this at my house last time—that she wants her to marry your cousin!"
Gu Qianhan raised his foot and kicked Xiao Qingyuan away. His fists were clenched, and his voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "You really are... hopeless!"
Xiao Qingyuan was kicked so hard he almost lost his breath. He was dizzy and seeing stars. He didn't understand why Gu Qianhan was so angry. Could it be that he thought Shen Wantang was unworthy of Pei Lin'an because she had been married before?
He lay on the ground in the yard, roaring angrily, "Gu Qianhan, don't go too far! Even if Shen Wantang has been married before, she's still better than your half-dead cousin. You look down on her, but I look down on your cousin too! I wouldn't even let her jump into Pei Lin'an's fire pit!"
Gu Qianhan stepped forward and stomped on Xiao Qingyuan's chest: "Pei Lin'an is just unwell, but his character is impeccable, unlike you, who is black from head to toe, inside and out! I don't even want to dirty my shoes by stepping on you!"
Xiao Qingyuan screamed in pain and frantically pounded Gu Qianhan's legs, but Gu Qianhan seemed to feel no pain and didn't move at all.
"Xiao Qingyuan, if you want to divorce your wife and marry Liu Nanshi as your heir, you'll have to ask me for permission first! If I can't have her, you can't have her either!"
"Gu Qianhan, you're insane! What exactly do you want? If I don't marry Nan Shi, are you the one who will? She's already my woman, it doesn't matter how much you like her! Why can't you just let us be together?!"
"Give you your blessing? Do you think I'm such a kind person? If you dare to make Liu Nanshi your crown princess, on your wedding day, I'll storm your door and chop off Liu Nanshi's head!"
Xiao Qingyuan stared at him in shock and rage: "You're insane! You're really insane! Don't you like Nan Shi? Why did you cut off her head?!"
Gu Qianhan gave a cold laugh: "I told you, if I can't have her, you can't have her either! Kill Liu Nanshi, and that will be the end of it!"
Yuan Zheng, who had quietly climbed onto the roof, clutched his injuries and grimaced as he looked at the two people in the yard.
Gu Qianhan is truly ruthless and insane! From now on, I'd rather offend the King of Hell than offend him!
After muttering to himself, Yuan Zheng felt strange. Of course, he understood Gu Qianhan better than Xiao Qingyuan. He knew that Gu Qianhan definitely didn't like Liu Nanshi. Otherwise, with his ruthless and vicious methods, he would have taken Liu Nanshi back to the Duke's mansion long ago, even if he had to forcibly abduct her.
Moreover, he clearly drugged both Gu Qianhan and Liu Nanshi, and bribed a palace maid to take them to the same side hall. However, Gu Qianhan managed to withstand the strong effects of the drug and left.
He didn't even touch Liu Nanshi.
If he doesn't like Liu Nanshi, why is he so angry when Xiao Qingyuan wants to marry Liu Nanshi as his crown princess?
So where exactly does the problem lie?
Yuan Zheng scratched his head, feeling that the answer was right in front of him, but he just couldn't figure it out.
A painful groan came from the courtyard. When Yuan Zheng came to his senses, he saw that Gu Qianhan had left at some point, and only Xiao Qingyuan was left lying there half-dead, looking even more seriously injured than him.
Yuan Zheng shrank back and lay down on the roof to avoid being seen by Xiao Qingyuan.
Mo Ji stepped forward to help Xiao Qingyuan up: "Master, you know you can't beat Young Master Gu, so why did you still provoke him? Next time you see him, you should say less!"
Xiao Qingyuan sat up, leaning against Mo Ji, and said angrily, "How was I supposed to know he was so fragile? He got provoked by just a few words! He's a lunatic. He can't marry Nan Shi himself, and he won't let me marry her either!"
Mo Ji, who was in favor of Shen Wantang, said, "Then you shouldn't marry her. The Crown Princess is so much better. If you live a good life with her, won't Second Young Master Gu stop causing you trouble? This way, you can also save Miss Liu's life!"
Yuan Zheng, who was lying on the roof, heard Mo Ji's words and his mind went blank!
He knows!
He knew why Gu Qianhan was angry!
Gu Qianhan doesn't like Liu Nanshi at all; he likes Shen Wantang!
All the past events flashed through his mind. No wonder he felt something was off when Gu Qianhan snatched Chu Yanluo! His snatching of Xiao Qingyuan's maid was even more incomprehensible!
So that's where the root of the problem lies!
No wonder Gu Qianhan insisted that he give the flowers to Shen Wantang at the spring banquet, and Gu Qianhan also gave his own flowers to Shen Wantang!
In the past, he would always throw away the flowers at the spring banquet!
