Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 596 Father, my daughter won’t live anymore!

Shen family.

At three quarters past ten, someone from the Duke's Mansion came with a letter.

In the main courtyard, Qi received the letter and saw that it was written "From Miss Gu Er". She sneered and tore it open without hesitation.

The servant who brought the letter saw that she had opened the letter without permission and shouted anxiously: "Madam, this letter is from our second young master to our second young lady. How could you open it? Where is the second young lady? I want to see her!"

After reading the letter, Qi stared at the servant and said in a sinister tone, "The Second Young Master wrote to me, a concubine's daughter, in private. This is called private communication! As her legitimate mother, how could I not check on my concubine's daughter? There is nothing wrong with the letter I opened!"

The servant was still shouting angrily, "How can you be so unreasonable? Our Second Young Master didn't say anything to the Second Young Lady. This is just an ordinary letter! I want to see the Second Young Lady! Our Young Master said that I must give the letter to the Second Young Lady in person!"

A dark smile appeared on Qi's face: "You want to see the Second Young Miss, right? Come, call the Second Young Miss to me!"

Not long after, Shen Wantang arrived.

As soon as she arrived, the servant shouted at her, "Are you Miss Shen Er? I'm the servant of Master Gu Er. Our master sent me to deliver a letter to you, but Madam Shen snatched it away! She even forcibly opened your letter and took a peek!"

Shen Wantang glanced at the unfamiliar face of the servant and replied calmly, "Oh, really?"

"Yes, it's true! I didn't lie to you. I am really the servant of Mr. Gu Er!"

Shen Wantang withdrew his gaze, a sneer appearing at the corner of his lips.

He is really good at pretending to be someone. Why pretend to be Gu Qianhan's servant?

Not to mention Gu Qianhan's servants, she had already gotten to know almost all the servants in the entire Duke's Mansion as she had been in and out of the Mansion so many times in her previous life.

She was sure that this person could not be Gu Qianhan's servant.

Besides, it is impossible for Gu Qianhan to send a servant to deliver a letter to her so openly. The last time he delivered the letter, he asked Gu Qianning to deliver it in person. Even Gu Qianning did not directly say that the letter was written by Gu Qianhan, and the letter was not signed in order to protect her reputation.

This young man is shouting like this, is he afraid that others will know about the secret transaction between her and Gu Qianhan?

However, Shen Wantang did not expose the servant because she had to find out who sent him and who wanted to harm her.

She turned and walked towards Qi, extending her hand towards her: "Since the letter is for me, shouldn't you return it to me, Madam?"

Qi smiled at her kindly: "Of course, here you go."

As she spoke, she placed the letter in Shen Wantang's hand. Then, she suddenly jumped up and slapped Shen Wantang fiercely: "Little bitch, you dare to have sex with a man in private? I have to teach you a lesson!"

Shen Wantang didn't expect her to change her expression so suddenly, and she didn't expect her to dare to attack. After being hit on the face, she reacted extremely quickly, and slapped Qi twice in a row with "Pa Pa"!

Qi was slapped twice in the face. She saw stars and screamed in disbelief, "You little bitch, you dare to hit me?!"

Shen Wantang looked at her coldly: "You dare to hit me, why shouldn't I dare to hit you? When I was a child, I couldn't resist you when you hit me. Now, try to touch me again!"

Qi was so angry that she almost fainted. She raised her hand to slap Shen Wantang again.

But Shen Wantang was prepared this time. As soon as Qi raised her hand, Shen Wantang suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Qi screamed in pain, "You little beast, are you rebelling against heaven?! You even dared to hit your stepmother! This is disrespectful! Disrespectful! I can report you to the authorities, and you'll go to jail!"

"Since you're going to sue me, it seems unreasonable for me not to crush your bones."

Shen Wantang exerted force on his hands and pressed his fingers hard on the Neiguan acupoint on Qi's wrist.

Qi felt an unbearable pain coming from her wrist, and then her entire arm lost consciousness.

She was horrified: "Madame Yin, what are you still standing there for? Get that little bastard out!"

Just as Nanny Yin was about to take action, Shen Wantang kicked her in the chest.

Qin Xin and Du Juan had already run to Shen Wantang's side, protecting her on the left and right, and refused to let the other maids of the Qi family get close to her.

Qi's face turned pale with pain. She angrily cursed, "You little bastard! You had a secret exchange with the Second Young Master Gu, writing all these shameful things. You even dared to hand the letter to me. You deserve to be thrown into a pig cage! As your legal mother, it's only natural for me to teach you a lesson! You actually dared to hit your legal mother? This is treasonous! This is unfilial!"

Shen Wantang tightly gripped Qi's wrist with one hand and slapped the letter in her face with the other. "Open your eyes and read carefully. What's written on it? It clearly says that the Duke's wife is ill and asked me to treat her. Is there anything shameful about that?!"

Qi's nose was almost broken by her slap!

She hadn't expected Shen Wantang to be so bold and cruel. Seeing that she could no longer handle it, she hurriedly shouted, "Someone, come! This little bitch is rebelling! Is there any justice in the world? I'm going to be killed by this bastard!"

The noise here was getting louder and louder, and Shen Mingxuan and Shen Guannian ran in one after another.

When Shen Wantang saw them coming, she immediately let go of Qi and burst into tears, "Please, father, help me. I was beaten and scolded by my mother for no reason. I can't live in this family anymore!"

"Father, mother doesn't want her daughter to get married at all. She falsely accused her of having an affair with someone else and wants to ruin her reputation!"

"Father, my daughter will not live any longer!"

Qi was stunned. She had been planning to cry and complain to Shen Guannian, but she didn't expect Shen Wantang to get there first!

Shen Wantang had been so strong and arrogant just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, she was crying miserably, looking weak and helpless?!

The little bitch acted so well? If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it!

How could Shen Guannian allow anyone to ruin Shen Wantang's reputation at this moment? That would be the same as ruining his official career!

He stared at Qi angrily: "Are you crazy, you idiot?! When did Tang'er have sex with anyone secretly? She stays at home honestly every day, how could she have seen a man outside?!" Even if she had seen him, she must not tell anyone!

Qi hurriedly picked up the letter from the ground and handed it to Shen Guannian. "Master, don't listen to this little bitch's nonsense. I didn't frame her. I have evidence! This is a letter from the Second Young Master Gu to the little bitch. Isn't this a private exchange?"

Shen Guannian took the letter and read it. There were only a few short sentences written on it: Miss Shen Er, my mother's old illness has relapsed. I would like to ask you to come to the Duke's Mansion to help my mother with treatment. The Duke's Mansion will definitely reward you handsomely.

The signature is Gu Qianhan.

Nothing else.

Shen Guannian was so furious that he kicked Qi, "Didn't the Duke's Mansion ask Tang'er to treat the Duke's wife? How can this be considered a private transaction?!"

"Are you illiterate or are you full of shit? You're just accusing your daughter without even opening your mouth. How can you be a legitimate mother like that?"

"How can Tang'er go to the Duke's Mansion after you beat her like this?! Idiot! Why didn't I realize you were so stupid before!"
