Chapter 151 If you come again, I will kill Chu Yanluo
On this day, everyone in the Prince's mansion was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Everyone is saying that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have consummated their marriage, and there are no longer any barriers between them, nor are there any of those messy women getting in the way. They are very much in love.
In the Wutong Garden, Shen Wantang sat at his desk, flipping through the account books as usual to check the income of the various properties in the Prince's Mansion.
The shop's profits are still manageable, but the farm's profits will soon be halved because the rain has been too heavy and lasted too long.
Nevertheless, Shen Wantang still wrote a letter, instructing the various estates of the Prince's Mansion to take out a portion of their stored grain in preparation for disaster relief.
In addition, she had already ordered people to prepare food and medicine at the palace, just waiting for the rainstorm to end so that soup kitchens could be set up outside the city to distribute medicine and provide relief to some people who had been displaced by the floods.
Based on the experience of the previous life, the imperial court would provide disaster relief, but it would take time to rebuild homes for the victims, and the relief food would not be delivered immediately. Many people still died from hunger and plague.
Shen Wantang wanted to do her best to help the disaster victims.
While she was busy preparing disaster relief supplies, Xiao Qingyuan, who was very "affectionate" with her, braved the torrential rain to leave the palace and go to the Jingsi Residence in Bai'an Lane.
This time, he not only brought Chu Yanluo her favorite bird's nest soup, but also sold some treasures in the warehouse and exchanged them for a thousand taels of gold, which he then brought to Chu Yanluo.
However, when Chu Yanluo saw him, she didn't give him a friendly look. Her tone was stiff and cold: "What does the young master take me for? Is it fun to play with me? You wrote to me that you would come to pick me up the next day, but how many days has it been now? I've been waiting for you every day, but you haven't come at all! Do you know how disappointed I am?"
Xiao Qingyuan also felt that he was in the wrong: "Yanluo, don't be angry. I didn't play a trick on you. I was originally going to come the next day, but unfortunately, there was a heavy rain. This awful weather made it impossible to go out, so I was delayed for a few days."
Chu Yanlu snorted coldly: "The torrential rain hasn't ended yet, how come you're out?"
"Well... I just really didn't want to wait any longer! Even if it's raining knives today, I have to come. If I wait any longer, I'm afraid something will happen to you!"
"What could possibly happen to me? I think it's you, Your Highness, who's going to be in trouble!"
"Me? What happened to me?"
"You know perfectly well what you've done, why are you asking me?"
Looking at her thin figure, Xiao Qingyuan felt a pang of heartache: "Yanluo, are you upset that I came to pick you up late? It was indeed my fault this time. However, I haven't been idle at home these past few days. I sent that Mu Ge away. You'll feel much more at ease when you return to the palace."
To everyone's surprise, Chu Yanluo didn't appreciate it at all: "Xiao Qingyuan, don't make it sound so nice. Did you do that to get rid of Mu Ge for me? You were clearly doing it for Shen Wantang!"
Xiao Qingyuan couldn't help but frown: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly be doing this for her? This has nothing to do with her."
"You still have the nerve to say you have nothing to do with Shen Wantang? You kicked Mu Ge out the first day and then consummated your marriage with her the next! Don't think I don't know anything just because I live here. I know everything!"
Xiao Qingyuan was taken aback: "How do you know about this? Who told you?"
A cold voice suddenly rang out behind him: "It's me."
Xiao Qingyuan turned around abruptly and immediately saw Gu Qianhan standing at the door.
Today, he was dressed in dark clothes, his cloak fluttering in the wind. A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, followed by a thunderclap, but he stood there indifferently, motionless.
He was cold and arrogant, like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell, with a gloomy and fierce aura.
Being stared at like that, Xiao Qingyuan felt like he was being pricked by thorns, as if he had stolen his treasure and incurred his unprecedented hatred.
Xiao Qingyuan felt a sudden jolt in his heart. He had a feeling that Gu Qianhan was different from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
"Qianhan, I know you hate me for ruining your marriage with Liu Nanshi, but you've already retaliated against me. You took Yanluo away and tormented her to this state. Isn't that enough? You don't need to talk nonsense to Yanluo anymore and ruin our relationship."
“I’m not talking nonsense, I’m stating the facts. Why doesn’t the Crown Prince dare to admit that you and the Crown Princess consummated your marriage? How are you any different from a villain in deceiving Chu Yanluo like this?”
Xiao Qingyuan was furious: "How could I have lied to Yan Luo! Don't believe everything you hear. Shen Wantang and I never consummated our marriage. I was just putting on an act for others!"
Gu Qianhan stepped into the room, his voice as cold as his expression: "Acting?"
"Of course! I promised Yanluo that I would only have her as my woman in this lifetime, and I would never touch any other woman!"
"So, you mean you're going to let your Crown Princess live a life of widowhood? Then why did you marry her? Why not just refuse the marriage? That way you could be with Chu Yanluo forever?"
"I……"
Xiao Qingyuan was speechless for a long time before he said, "This is a long story that can't be explained in a few words. Anyway, I've already reached an agreement with Shen Wantang. She can be my Crown Princess forever, but we won't have any marital relations. I only love Yan Luo. Yan Luo is my only woman. So, don't talk nonsense in front of her anymore!"
Gu Qianhan believed he was telling the truth and that Xiao Qingyuan had not consummated his marriage with Shen Wantang.
However, his expression did not improve as a result.
Deep down, he really didn't want Shen Wantang to have anything happen with other men.
However, in his previous life, he knew that Liao Youhe was a homosexual, and he knew that Shen Wantang had never had a normal married life in her previous life. She and Liao Youhe were only superficially together and were using each other.
He hoped that Shen Wantang could have a normal married life in this life, and that she could live a peaceful and happy life.
In this life, her husband is Xiao Qingyuan. Although he is not perfect either, Xiao Qingyuan is at least a normal man. Apart from not being very smart, he doesn't have any major problems. Prince Ning and Princess Ning have done a decent job raising their son.
Gu Qianhan never expected that even after he took Chu Yanluo away, Xiao Qingyuan would still be so stubborn, abandoning his perfectly good wife and insisting on taking Chu Yanluo, who had questionable character.
Is this what they mean by "a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a stolen one, and a stolen one is not as good as one you can't have"?
Could it be that he did more harm than good, and the more he took Chu Yanluo away, the more it fueled Xiao Qingyuan's love for her?
This is not the result he wanted!
Gu Qianhan coldly said, "Xiao Qingyuan, go back to your palace and never come here again. If you come again, I will kill Chu Yanluo!"
