Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 760: Why is sister-in-law so anxious?

After hearing this, Gu Qianling's face turned unhappy.

He frowned and looked at Meng Yunlan: "Second brother and sister-in-law, as well as Mo Feng who was punished, all said the same thing. I also think that second brother should have handled such a small matter himself. Yunlan, could it be that you made a mistake and misunderstood your sister-in-law?"

Meng Yunlan felt even more aggrieved. "I also heard people in the mansion talking about it. They all said that my sister-in-law used ruthless means to punish my second brother's men. My second brother slept in the study in anger. I was afraid that they would have a disagreement, so I came to mediate."

"You guys are making me feel like I'm in a difficult situation. I'm also thinking about the entire Duke's Mansion and I feel bad for my second brother and his wife. Otherwise, why would I make this trip?"

Gu Qianling looked at her aggrieved expression and red eyes and opened his mouth to say something, but there were so many people here, and he was afraid that she would lose face, so he swallowed his words back.

Not only could he not blame her, he had to take care of her, otherwise he would not be able to save his own face.

He turned to look at Gu Qianhan and Shen Wantang, and said with a hint of apology in his tone, "Second brother, sister-in-law, please don't blame your sister-in-law. She was doing this for your own good. She was afraid that you would have conflicts, so she said a few more words. We are all family. Don't take these little things to heart, so as not to affect the relationship between close relatives."

After Gu Qianling finished speaking, no one responded to him.

The scene was a little cold for a moment, and Gu Qianling felt quite embarrassed.

After a moment of silence, Shen Wantang finally spoke in a gentle voice, "Brother is right. Family ties are the most important. I've been wronged, and it's nothing to suffer a little injustice. After all, I've only been married for a short time. It's normal for people to look down on me and accuse me of something. I don't blame you, sister-in-law! You're doing this for my own good. Thank you, sister-in-law."

As soon as she said this, Meng Yunlan's aggrieved expression froze instantly.

Qiao Zhiyu, who was standing behind her watching the fun, opened his mouth wide and almost blurted out the word "green tea"!

Gu Qianling was speechless. Shen Wantang's voice was gentle and her tone was kind, but he could still hear a hint of sarcasm in it.

"Also, my sister-in-law might have been deceived by the people around her. She believed the slander of the villain, so she thought that I was the one who punished Qianhan's men. Otherwise, my sister-in-law would definitely not think of me this way."

Shen Wantang looked at Meng Yunlan sincerely. "After all, my sister-in-law is the kindest person. She always thinks the best of people. How could she inexplicably be so sure that I was going to cripple the guard's leg? Someone must have deliberately said something misleading, right, sister-in-law?"

Meng Yunlan's expression twisted slightly, and he almost squeezed out a word from his throat: "Hmm."

"Oh, it's all a misunderstanding, sister-in-law. Actually, I'm just like you. I'm usually very kind to my servants. Sister-in-law has never been harsh on anyone, and neither have I!"

Shen Wantang's face showed a relaxed expression: "Only those who like to use cruel methods to punish their servants will think that others are the same as them and like to use cruel methods to punish their servants. Of course, my sister-in-law is not such a person. She is the most kind and tolerant!"

"Sister-in-law, please be careful in the future, lest you be deceived and misled by others, and be used as a pawn for nothing, causing unhappiness in the family and ruining the relationship between close relatives."

The gentle mask on Meng Yunlan's face could hardly be maintained, and her eyes looking at Shen Wantang couldn't help but carry a hint of sinisterness.

When Qiao Zhiyu lowered her head, she saw Meng Yunlan's two hands tightly grasping the handkerchief, which was almost torn into pieces by her.

She wanted to laugh and even applaud Shen Wantang!

Great! Each one is more pretentious than the other, and each one is more disgusting than the other. Meng Yunlan has finally met her match! She's probably going to explode with anger!

This Duke's Mansion is much more lively than the Qiao family's. She loves it here so much!

"Brother, sister-in-law is such a good person."

Gu Qianhan also spoke, but his tone was not as polite as Shen Wantang's. He said coldly, "It's just a small matter. No one took it seriously. But someone took advantage of my sister-in-law and made a fuss about it. It has been going on since early morning until now."

"It's really strange. Something happened in my room, and my subordinates made a mistake. Not to mention that it wasn't my wife who punished them, even if it was really her who punished them, I didn't say anything. How can others blame her?"

"Brother, give me a promise today. If sister-in-law can reach into my room, I will not be polite in the future. I will take care of everyone in your room!"

Gu Qianling looked at him helplessly: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense. How could your sister-in-law reach into your room? She is just used to being the housekeeper, so..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Qianhan: "I think these maids around my sister-in-law don't look like good people. Beat them up first and then drive them out!"

Meng Yunlan's face changed. "No! Second brother, these are my dowry nanny and maids. They have served me since they were young. How can you beat them or drive them away without any reason?"

"Didn't you also accuse Atang of a crime for no reason? You, a nanny and a maid, just accuse him of stealing and then beat him up!"

"How could I have ever accused my sister-in-law of a crime? Second brother, you're wronging me by saying that! I came to you today only because I felt sorry for your subordinate, whose legs were almost broken, and that's why I came to plead for him!"

"What does it have to do with you whether my men's legs are crippled or not? Since you like to control my men so much, then I'll control yours too. Come, take all the servants around my sister-in-law away and beat them up!"

As soon as he gave an order, several men in black immediately walked out of the darkness and held down Meng Yunlan's nanny and maid without any explanation.

The maidservants and the nanny were terrified. Who didn't know that the Second Young Master was cruel and ruthless? If they were taken away by his men, how could they survive?

"Young Madam, help!"

"Young Madam, we are wronged!"

Unfortunately, they only shouted twice before the men in black covered their mouths tightly and dragged them into the darkness. They soon disappeared without a trace and no sound.

This scene came suddenly and was terrifying. Qiao Zhiyu was just watching the show, but now he was so scared that his teeth were chattering.

She was afraid that Gu Qianhan, the evil star, would order his men to take her away and beat her up without any reason, so she almost stuck to Gu Qianling, thinking that if Gu Qianhan asked his men to take her away, she would immediately hug Gu Qianling's waist and would not let go even if he beat her to death.

Fortunately, Gu Qianhan seemed not to see her at all and treated her as a transparent person, so she escaped.

Meng Yunlan's expression changed drastically: "Second brother, what are you doing? Quickly let them go!"

"Sister-in-law, what are you anxious about?"

Gu Qianhan said indifferently, "I'm doing this for your own good. These servants around you don't serve you wholeheartedly, and they gossip and deceive you. I'm punishing them for you. Shouldn't you thank me?"
