Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 608: Gu Han can also serve others?

Madam Gu looked at her with a frown, "You greedy girl, why don't you think about something else instead of thinking about this drink every day? This drink has a strong aftereffect. I'm afraid you'll get drunk and act crazy again, embarrassing me!"

Gu Qianning was full of confidence: "There's no way I can drink too much. I know how to drink! Besides, I can hold my liquor pretty well. I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"

Madam Gu looked at her with a mixture of anger and amusement: "Drunkards always say they can't get drunk, but oh my, in reality, they get drunk faster than anyone else!"

Shen Wantang listened to the mother and daughter bickering and laughing, and the corners of her lips curled up.

She took a small silver fork and ate all the lychees that Gu Qianhan peeled for her.

So this is what fresh lychees look like. In her previous life, she had only eaten frozen lychees, and she thought they were delicious then. She didn’t expect that fresh lychees were even better!

The flesh is delicate and tender. When you take a bite, the juice bursts out and the fragrant and sweet aroma instantly sweeps over your taste buds. After eating one, you will want to eat another.

Seeing that she had finished eating, Gu Qianhan picked up another one and peeled it for her.

Just as Shen Wantang was about to say no, Gu Qianhan had already placed the lychees on the jade plate in front of her.

When Liu Nanshi stepped into the garden, what she saw was Gu Qianhan peeling lychees for Shen Wantang.

Her eyes almost popped out of her head, she couldn't believe what she saw!

Gu Qianhan can also serve others???

In the past, when she came to the Duke's Mansion, she couldn't even see Gu Qianhan. Even if she saw him occasionally, he had a cold expression on his face and exuded an aloof temperament!

She had never seen him serve anyone, nor had she ever seen him be gentle!

Liu Nanshi stepped forward step by step, her teeth grinding. The damn Shen Wantang was not missing!

What went wrong? Did she escape from Chichun Lane? Or was it just the wrong person last night?

When Mrs. Gu saw Liu Nanshi coming, she showed a surprised expression on her face: "Nanshi? Why are you here? What's the matter?"

Liu Nanshi suppressed the jealousy and anger in her heart, and a decent smile appeared on her face. She sat directly next to Mrs. Gu and took her arm affectionately.

She said in a familiar, coquettish tone, "Look at what Aunt Pei said. If I'm fine, can't I come to see you? I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you! Could it be that you have forgotten Nan Shi? Nan Shi won't agree to that!"

Mrs. Gu really didn't expect Liu Nanshi to come, because she hadn't left the house since Liu Nanshi's accident.

Being sold to Wanhua Tower, losing her innocence and reputation, was a huge blow to her. It was normal for her to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and not go out. It was abnormal for her to come to the Duke's Mansion to play as if nothing had happened, as she did now.

Moreover, Mrs. Gu knew very well that every time Liu Nanshi came to the Duke's Mansion, it was actually for Gu Qianhan.

But now Gu Qianhan's marriage has been decided, and her future daughter-in-law is sitting here. She naturally won't make things difficult for her future daughter-in-law at this time. Otherwise, not only will her daughter-in-law be unhappy, but her son will also be unhappy. Once her son is unhappy, the entire Duke's Mansion will have a hard time!

Mrs. Gu thought about her husband's power being taken away by her son, and she was so angry that she pretended to be sick for several days and even didn't go to the morning court. She suddenly felt a chill in her heart and quickly took Liu Nanshi's hand away.

She even controlled her expression and tone very well, neither too distant nor too enthusiastic: "My memory is not that bad, how could I have forgotten Nan Shi?"

When Liu Nanshi saw Mrs. Gu take her hand away, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes.

Well, the old man changed his attitude so quickly that he didn’t even let her hug his arms, but she could hug him at will before!

Her eyes fell on Shen Wantang, and she pretended to have just seen her: "Oh, so Aunt Pei has a guest here. I'm so sorry, my mind and eyes were all on Aunt Pei, and I didn't notice there was someone here for a moment! I wonder whose family this girl is from? I've never seen her before!"

Gu Qianning knew that she had come with ill intentions, and was about to say something sarcastic to her, but Shen Wantang reached out and held her down.

Then, she raised her head and looked at Liu Nanshi calmly: "Miss Liu has clearly seen me before, why are you saying you haven't? Are you pretending not to know me?"

Liu Nanshi looked frightened by her and moved closer to Madam Gu: "Why are you so fierce? I really don't know you. How can you accuse me of pretending without any evidence?"

Shen Wantang suddenly laughed: "What a strange person! Miss Liu has really opened my eyes. When we were at Jinxiu Pavilion, you called out my name right away, and now you're asking me who I am. That's really weird."

"But I really don't know you!"

Liu Nanshi said innocently, "Miss, did you mistake me for someone else? Or, are you saying this to me on purpose because you don't like me?"

As she spoke, she hugged Madam Gu's arm again: "Aunt Pei, who is this? Why is she so arrogant? Is she famous? Should I know her? How could there be such a person? I have clearly never seen her, but she insists that I have. I have a photographic memory since I was a child. I will remember anyone I have seen!"

Mrs. Gu couldn't help but frown slightly. What was going on? One of them said she had seen it, and the other said she hadn't. Who was lying?

However, who cares who is lying? Now one is a family member and the other is an outsider. Even if she is old and confused, she knows to side with her family!

What's more, she is not senile yet, she is very smart!

"Nanshi, you've met in Jinxiu Pavilion, but you don't remember her? She's Tang girl, the second daughter of the Shen family. Oh, the one who's engaged to Qianhan! She also saved me once in Fazhen Temple. You should remember that, right?"

Liu Nanshi's expression froze on her face instantly. Did Mrs. Gu directly assume that they had met before and directly stand on Shen Wantang's side?

Then what was all the effort she put into trying to please Madam Gu over the years?!

Furthermore, Madam Gu had personally confirmed this time that Gu Qianhan and Shen Wantang were engaged!

Shen Wantang was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that she and Liu Nanshi had different opinions, and Mrs. Gu, without knowing the inside story, directly stood on her side and spoke for her.

Her future mother-in-law seemed to protect her more than she thought!

In fact, she knew the reason why Liu Nanshi deliberately said that she didn't know her. She just wanted to suppress her and gain the upper hand over her. By the way, she wanted to provoke her in front of Mrs. Gu and make her look bad.

Shen Wantang believed that she was as scheming as anyone else and that she would never fall for such a trick, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Gu didn't fall for it either.

Shen Wantang smiled sincerely at the fact that her mother-in-law was so smart and protective of her child.

Beside her, Gu Qianhan suddenly said, "Miss Liu, our Duke's Mansion is hosting a banquet today to entertain my unmarried wife. You've come at the wrong time. Someone, show us away!"

Liu Nanshi's face turned pale in an instant: "Qianhan, you, even if you are going to get married, you don't have to be so cruel to me. After all, we grew up together and have been friends for more than ten years. Even if due to some unforeseen circumstances we can't be together, we can still be friends!"
