Chapter 541 Not a single one will survive!
Gu Qianhan was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Shen Wantang was still concerned about this matter.
A surge of warmth welled up within him, and his eyes reddened slightly: "I'll deal with the person who betrayed me myself. Besides, strictly speaking, she can't really be considered a betrayer; she might not have been on my side to begin with. Compared to that, I'm more interested in knowing why you came back. Did something happen? Did someone harm you?"
Shen Wantang nodded: "Someone harmed me, and it was she who caused my first rebirth."
Who is it?
I won't tell you.
Gu Qianhan looked at her helplessly. It seemed that unless he revealed who killed him, she wouldn't say who had harmed her.
He picked up Shen Wantang and carried her into the house.
Shen Wantang didn't struggle and let him hold her.
Du Juan, who had already hidden inside the house, was startled. As soon as she saw the two of them come in, she quickly ran out and closed the door behind her.
Gu Qianhan placed Shen Wantang on the couch, only then noticing that she had run out without even putting on her shoes.
He chuckled softly and couldn't resist lowering his head to kiss her bright red lips: "A-Tang, I like you very much."
She's incredibly lucky that she likes him now too.
He took a handkerchief and sat down beside her to carefully wipe her feet.
Shen Wantang's cheeks flushed slightly. She instinctively wanted to pull her foot back, but Gu Qianhan held her ankle and wouldn't let her.
Unable to pull back, Shen Wantang didn't move again.
Gu Qianhan's movements were gentle and meticulous, her palms dry and warm. She liked him like this. She didn't like him covered in blood, without a heartbeat or breath, or his hands were cold, pale, and devoid of any color.
It's fine as it is now, even if his behavior is a bit out of line.
She could examine his face closely again. He was so handsome, with striking eyebrows, a straight nose, and even his lips were almost perfect.
He's good-looking, but his life isn't so good; his family and clan have been wiped out twice.
I wonder if he'll succeed this time.
Shen Wantang was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I don't know how many people will be reborn this time, but last time, I only found out before I died that the Seventh Princess had also been reborn. Be careful when you encounter her."
Gu Qianhan raised her head: "The person who killed you was the Seventh Princess?"
Shen Wantang: "..."
"Is she still jealous that you were married to Liao Youhe?"
Shen Wantang had a bit of a headache. That's the downside of talking to smart people; if she reveals even the slightest bit of something, he can figure out the whole story.
"Xiao Yuerong is really quite ill! It's alright, I'll kill her for you, and none of the Xiaos will live!"
Shen Wantang shook her head: "No, I want to take revenge myself."
Gu Qianhan understood her desire to personally avenge her enemy, so she didn't insist on taking the kill: "Okay, then she's yours."
Shen Wantang turned to look at the sky outside: "It's getting light. You should go. If you don't leave now, I won't be able to explain myself."
Gu Qianhan wished he could live with her all day long, but he also knew that was unrealistic.
Having been reborn once again, they both have a lot to do.
He hugged Shen Wantang: "Wait for me, you're not allowed to marry anyone else."
Shen Wantang didn't respond to him, but she didn't argue back either.
Gu Qianhan kissed her, then got up and left.
As Shen Wantang watched him leave, her gaze involuntarily fell to her feet.
Gu Qianhan had already wiped her feet clean. He must have felt that her feet were cold, so he warmed them for a while.
She looked at her feet and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
When Dujuan came in, she saw her young mistress looking at her feet and laughing. After hesitating for a long time, she asked, "Miss, who is that young master? He trespassed into your courtyard, and... and... you mustn't be fooled by him!"
Shen Wantang snapped out of her daze and saw Du Juan's worried face. She pulled her to her side and made her sit down. "Don't worry, the person who can deceive your young lady hasn't been born yet! That person just now was an old acquaintance of mine. He broke into my courtyard... It was just a moment of panic, nothing serious."
Du Juan was very puzzled: "Is that young master an old acquaintance of yours? How come I've never seen him before?"
"You've seen it, you've just forgotten it."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"yes."
Du Juan scratched her head. Well, since Miss said she had seen them, then she must have seen them. Miss wouldn't lie to her. It's all because she's too stupid; she can't even remember people she's seen.
"But Miss, even if they are old acquaintances, they shouldn't barge into your courtyard like this. Otherwise, if someone sees them, it will be bad for your reputation."
"Okay, I got it. If he dares to break in again, we'll throw him out with a flowerpot."
Although Du Juan wasn't very clever, she wasn't so stupid as to not realize that her young mistress was joking.
There's no way we'll fight; the young lady has absolutely no defenses against that young master.
With her worries gone, Dujuan's mind began to wander. She asked softly, "Miss, aren't you going to marry into the Ning Prince's family? I heard that young master say he wanted to marry you. Are you going to marry him? Is that why you didn't dress up when you went to the Ning Prince's mansion as a guest today?"
"My lack of dressing up has nothing to do with him."
As Shen Wantang spoke, she looked down at her own faded clothes, then at Du Juan's even more worn-out clothes, and asked with a smile, "Du Juan, would you like to wear new clothes?"
"think!"
"Then let's wear our most worn-out clothes to the Prince Ning's residence today!"
"Oh? Miss, isn't this too embarrassing? Won't people laugh at us?"
"It's not our face that's being disgraced, it's the Shen family's face that's being disgraced. I want everyone outside to know that the Shen family's stepmother mistreats her illegitimate daughter and that the Shen family head is incompetent and corrupt!"
Seeing her young mistress's imposing aura, Du Juan's almond-shaped eyes sparkled: "Wow, Miss, you're so different now! You don't look like a young lady from a noble family anymore, you look like a general who can conquer the battlefield!"
Shen Wantang smiled brightly at the maid's praise: "I really am going to dominate the battlefield! Go fetch some water, I want to wash my face!"
She spoke with such conviction, even while washing her face; you'd think she was about to go to war!
But Du Juan was filled with enthusiasm. She felt that her mistress seemed to have become stronger after waking up, giving her an extremely reliable feeling.
Hearing that the young lady wanted to wash her face, she excitedly responded and ran off to fetch water.
Shen Wantang then got up, opened a box, and counted her silver and jewelry.
After taking stock, she couldn't help but sigh. They were too poor; this little bit of money was simply not enough.
How wonderful! The money she earned is gone again. She woke up one morning and was back to square one. She has to start earning money all over again.
Let's start by making money off the Shen family!
About half an hour later, Shen Wantang took Du Juan to the main courtyard.
Because they were going to visit the Prince of Ning's residence today, Shen Guannian took it very seriously and personally came to oversee his two daughters' manners and attire.
Upon seeing Shen Wantang, his face immediately darkened: "What are you dressed like? Even the beggars outside are dressed better than you!"
Shen Wantang looked aggrieved: "Father, this is my best dress, I have nothing else!"
