Chapter 43 Chu Yanluo called out the wrong name
No wonder Chu Yanluo arrived at the Prince's Mansion so early in this life, and her child died so early too. It turns out that all of this was done on purpose.
Presumably, she was also dissatisfied with the ending of her previous life, so after being reborn, she decisively chose to enter the royal palace directly instead of continuing to suffer in the Jixin Nunnery.
The room was quiet. Everyone looked at Chu Yanluo as if she were crazy, but Chu Yanluo seemed oblivious and continued arrogantly, "The Crown Prince's wife was originally neither Shen Mingxuan nor you, Shen Wantang, but me. Everything in this manor should naturally be mine. So, Shen Wantang, hand over everything the Crown Prince just sent. Those things should all be mine, and you should return them to their rightful owner."
Shen Wantang seemed not to hear anything. She calmly picked up a bowl of bird's nest soup and ate it, as if the provocative Chu Yanluo in front of her did not exist at all.
As the Crown Prince's wife, she was too lazy to associate with the lowly Chu Yanluo, so naturally someone else would teach her a lesson.
Granny Chai spoke coldly, "You have quite the nerve! You dare to accept gifts from the Crown Prince's wife? Shameless, utterly lacking in manners and etiquette! The Chu family has raised a daughter like this, truly unique in the entire capital. You've brought shame upon yourselves even before the Emperor!"
Chu Yanluo had heard these words countless times in her past life, so her expression only changed slightly before she quickly retorted sarcastically, "Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that! I can make the young master betray you once, and I can make him betray you a second time! If you don't want to be betrayed, you'd better shut your mouth!"
Granny Chai was indeed somewhat afraid of her before, because the young master really listened to her every word. Whoever she wanted to sell, the young master would sell. It was as if he was under her spell.
But now, Granny Chai is no longer afraid, because she is no longer the Crown Prince's nanny, but the Crown Princess's nanny. With the Crown Princess around, Chu Yanluo has no chance of selling her out again.
"Don't think too highly of yourself. You're nothing special. Otherwise, the prince would have married you long ago. Why would he be keeping you in his courtyard like this without any explanation?"
Granny Chai's words were sharp, like knives stabbing directly into Chu Yanluo's most painful spot: "Someone like you would be the most disgraceful mistress in other families. You wouldn't even qualify as a concubine!"
“Ordinary families take wives and concubines from respectable families. A woman like you, who has had premarital relations with a man and is pregnant with an illegitimate child, will not be wanted by anyone. Not only will no one want you, but you will also be despised!”
"You were allowed to come in to see the Crown Princess today only because of her kindness and generosity. If it were anyone else, they would have already beaten you out with sticks. How could they allow you to cause trouble here!"
Chu Yanluo's face turned white, then pale, then white again. She hated this ruthless Granny Chai, and she also hated the damned heavens!
Since God allowed her to be reborn, why couldn't He have allowed her to be reborn sooner?
She should be reborn before she got pregnant, so she could marry into the royal family directly, and there would be no need for Shen Wantang!
Unfortunately, fate decreed that she would be reborn a month before Xiao Qingyuan's wedding. By then, the entire capital already knew that she was pregnant with an illegitimate child, making it virtually impossible for her to clear her name!
Chu Yanluo clenched her fists tightly, her anger burning fiercely in her heart. She secretly vowed that she would definitely sit on the throne of the Heir Apparent of the Ning Prince's Mansion in this lifetime! In the future, when Xiao Qingyuan became a prince, she could become a princess with infinite glory!
Then, she would have to give birth to a son for Xiao Qingyuan, and in the future, she would help her son kill the Crown Prince's son and let her son sit on the throne of the emperor. Then she could become the Empress Dowager by right!
She wanted to make those who mocked and looked down on her bow and kneel before her from that day forward!
Thinking of all this, Chu Yanluo felt incredibly agitated. An unnatural blush appeared on her pale face, and even her voice lost its previous coolness, becoming somewhat high-pitched: "I did not have any illicit relations with any man before marriage. Getting pregnant is not my fault. I was forced. I am the victim!"
"You vulgar people have no idea how pure and noble my soul is. Only the Crown Prince understands me. I am the Crown Prince's beloved!"
"His things are mine. I'm here to get my things back. What's wrong with that? But you, Shen Wantang, are truly from a humble background. You're greedy and insatiable. You dare to steal my things. You'd better return everything to me, or I'll have the young master kick you out first!"
As Shen Wantang sipped her bird's nest soup, listening to Chu Yanluo's eye-opening arguments, she felt somewhat puzzled.
This woman doesn't seem as smart as she thought; she's overly arrogant and acts like she doesn't care about anyone in the world.
Could it be because of rebirth?
Chu Yanluo in her previous life didn't seem to be this high-profile or arrogant!
Was it her rebirth that gave Chu Yanluo confidence and assurance? Or was she absolutely certain that no matter what she did or said, Xiao Qingyuan would continue to love her deeply and accept everything about her?
As Shen Wantang pondered this, she inadvertently revealed the jade bracelet on her wrist.
Chu Yanluo spotted the jade bracelet immediately, its surface a lustrous, pure green. She stepped forward and reached out to snatch it, shouting, "This bracelet is mine! How did it end up in your hands?! Give it back to me! Shen Mingxuan, give it back to me!"
Granny Chai and Qin Xin stepped forward side by side, completely blocking Chu Yanluo.
Both of them were somewhat taken aback. Had Chu Yanluo gone mad? She even called the Crown Princess by the wrong name, calling her by the name of the Crown Princess's elder sister!
Why did this bracelet have such a strong impact on her?
Shen Wantang naturally heard Chu Yanluo call out the wrong name, and judging from Chu Yanluo's expression, she was completely unaware that she had called out the wrong name.
However, Shen Wantang was not surprised.
This small detail only confirmed her guess once again—Chu Yanluo was reborn.
In her previous life, Chu Yanluo and Shen Mingxuan were mortal enemies. Perhaps in the dead of night, she would call out Shen Mingxuan's name and curse her. So many years have passed, and Shen Mingxuan's name has been engraved in her bones.
That's why, after being reborn, she blurted out Shen Mingxuan's name in a fit of excitement and anger.
However, as Shen Wantang stroked the bracelet, she wondered if the fruit and cheese snack at Qingyunlou was Chu Yanluo's doing.
She had been guessing who had been reborn, and it turns out the reborn person was right beside her!
No wonder the manager of Qingyunlou only said that a master had given her guidance, but refused to tell her who the master was. He was afraid that if he told her in advance, she would cause trouble and ruin the place!
