Chapter 87 Shen Wantang's methods are truly remarkable!

A gust of wind blew in, lifting the veil on Shen Wantang's face, and then the veil slipped down.

Her face was now completely exposed to everyone.

As soon as the crowd fell silent, gasps of amazement rose and fell.

"My goodness, the Crown Princess is so beautiful!"

"Who just said the Crown Princess was ugly? Come out here, I promise I won't hit you!"

"No way, the Crown Prince's wife is so beautiful, how come the Crown Prince hasn't consummated the marriage with her? Could it be that the Crown Prince has some kind of hidden illness?"

"I feel that the Crown Princess looks a bit like Chu Yanluo. Since the Crown Prince likes Chu Yanluo, there's no reason why he wouldn't like the Crown Princess!"

"Whether the prince likes it or not is up to him, but I've already fallen for the princess!"

"Oh dear, even the Second Young Master Gu is stunned. Could it be that he has also fallen for the Princess Consort?"

Gu Qianhan, who had been called out, could no longer hear any other sounds.

He stared blankly at Shen Wantang, whose veil was no longer covering her face. For a moment, he couldn't even tell whether this was his past life or this one.

In her past life, she mostly disguised herself as a man to enter and leave the Dali Temple, only occasionally appearing in front of the public as Madam Liao. However, every time she appeared, she amazed countless people.

She never seemed to treat herself badly; when she dressed up as a woman, her clothes and jewelry were always the most fashionable, just like now.

Xiao Qingyuan also looked at Shen Wantang, his throat felt like it was filled with lead, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence: "Shen... Wantang, you... how... how could you be..."

Shen Wantang smiled faintly at him: "The shopkeeper invited me to come here today to enjoy some snacks and pastries a few days ago. I didn't expect to meet the young master here."

Looking at her calm demeanor, Xiao Qingyuan recalled his earlier words, "Let's break up," and felt a burning pain on his face.

He didn't know what came over him just now; his mouth was faster than his brain, and he inexplicably said those things. He had already accepted Shen Wantang as his wife, and he had no intention of divorcing her.

Fortunately, Shen Wantang didn't seem to blame him. She gave him face in public, neither crying and making a scene like other women would when they heard they were going to be divorced, nor questioning him aggressively why he wanted to divorce her. She simply asked gently, "It's getting late, I have to go back to the Prince's Mansion. Is the Prince going back too?"

Xiao Qingyuan was impressed by her magnanimous demeanor and nodded subconsciously: "Let's go back together."

Shen Wantang smiled gently: "Then let's go."

After she finished speaking, she walked out with her maid.

From beginning to end, she didn't give Chu Yanluo a single glance, as if she were just an insignificant passerby, not worth her time.

Chu Yanluo's expression turned ugly as she watched Xiao Qingyuan leave with Shen Wantang.

The onlookers in the restaurant mocked her sarcastically: "Oh dear, Miss Chu, why are you still standing here? Aren't you going back to the Prince's mansion with the Prince and Princess? Are you planning to stay at Qingyun Restaurant?"

"What are you saying? Miss Chu is neither a wife nor a concubine. Do you think she can just go back to the Prince's mansion whenever she wants? She's probably not even as good as the Crown Prince's wife's maid. The Crown Prince's maid can return to the mansion with a legitimate reason. Her? She's nothing!"

"Tsk tsk, I thought the young master had really lost his mind and didn't even want such a good princess consort. Now it seems that he has been influenced by Chu Yanluo's pillow talk too much, so he has neglected his princess consort."

"The Crown Princess is such a magnanimous woman! The Crown Prince publicly announced his divorce, but she didn't make a fuss. She was so kind and dignified. I've never met a woman more generous than her! No wonder Princess Ning chose her as the Crown Princess and put her in charge of the household. She deserves it!"

"That's right, a woman like this is the most suitable to marry as a principal wife. Having such a matriarch is a blessing for the whole clan! Unlike some people, who are wicked and get pregnant by one man, then sleep with another, and then shamelessly instigate others to divorce their wives!"

"The kind of woman you're talking about, you can play around with her, but you absolutely must not marry her, or you'll suffer the consequences!"

As Chu Yanluo listened to these comments, her face turned pale and then red. She was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder, and her hands were trembling.

Shen Wantang has some brilliant methods!

She put on such a magnanimous act, and with just a few words, she tricked Xiao Qingyuan away. She also managed to show off in front of everyone, establishing herself as a dignified and respectable wife. Not only did she steal all the limelight, but she also managed to tarnish Xiao Qingyuan's reputation!

Shen Wantang is too scheming!

No, she absolutely cannot let this go! It's always others who suffer losses, never her!

In her past life, she could force Shen Mingxuan to cry and beg for mercy on her knees. In this life, she will definitely make Shen Wantang lose his reputation and become a stray dog!

She hurriedly said goodbye to Gu Qianhan, then left Qingyun Tower and headed towards the Ning Prince's Mansion.

The crowd at Qingyun Tower gradually dispersed, but some kind-hearted people approached Gu Qianhan and reminded him, "Second Young Master, you must be careful. That Chu Yanluo is no pushover. I heard she's very good at brainwashing and can easily ensnare people with just a few words. No one in her family, the Chu family, speaks well of her, and the nuns at Jixin Nunnery also have a very negative opinion of her."

Gu Qianhan nodded: "Thank you, I understand."

In his past life, with his aloofness, he wouldn't have paid any attention to the person in front of him. However, after experiencing the painful lesson of having his family wiped out, he was no longer the arrogant and ignorant Second Young Master Gu. He had become much more mature and composed, and no longer looked down on ordinary people with average intelligence.

Every ordinary person has their own abilities and strengths.

For example, this person in front of him is kind-hearted. Even though he has no connection with him, he still came over specifically to remind him to be careful of Chu Yanluo.

Gu Qianhan walked out of Qingyun Tower and got into the carriage.

His two servants, one driving the carriage and the other following him inside, got in.

The servant boy, Jixiang, looked distressed: "Second Young Master, what are you up to? Why did you suddenly send Chu Yanluo a thousand taels of gold? Have you forgotten that she framed you for humiliating her? Your legs were almost crippled from kneeling before the Emperor a few days ago, all because of her! Have you forgotten that too?"

Gu Qianhan said calmly, "My memory isn't that bad."

"Then why are you doing this? Could it be that you've really fallen for Chu Yanluo?"

"My taste isn't that bad."

Jixiang was puzzled: "Then why did you repay evil with kindness by giving her a thousand taels of gold? And you even said you wanted to marry her as your principal wife? If this gets into the household or the palace, the Madam and the Empress will probably give you a good scolding."

"It's okay, let them curse. I'm happy to hear them cursing me now."

It's better than all of them becoming wronged souls.
