Chapter 441 Marry my second brother!

Chapter 441 Marry my second brother!

In the yard, Gu Qianning stood beside Shen Wantang and asked her in a low voice: "Does Xiao Qingxi's wrist really hurt or is she pretending to be in pain?"

The coldness on Shen Wantang's face melted away. She turned to look at Gu Qianning and asked with a faint smile, "What do you think?"

"It looks to me like she's pretending to be in pain and trying to blackmail you!"

"No, she's really in pain."

"Ah? Really? Did you do something?"

"Ah."

Gu Qianning got a positive answer and happily hugged Shen Wantang's waist: "Great! She should be taught a lesson! This can be considered revenge for me!"

Shen Wantang felt soft in her heart when she hugged her, and she also hugged Gu Qianning: "This is your first time here, so I can't let you suffer in vain."

It was fine for her to be scolded by Xiao Qingxi, but she couldn't let Gu Qianning be scolded by her, or even beaten by her.

If Xiao Qingxi didn't take action today, Shen Wantang wouldn't punish her, but if she wants to hit Gu Qianning, don't blame her for being rude!

"I asked the kitchen to prepare some wine and food. You can eat at my place at noon today. We can have a few drinks. I haven't had a drink in a long time!"

"I haven't drunk in a long time, so I won't leave until I'm drunk with you today!"

By noon, the atmosphere on Shen Wantang's side was lively and cheerful. She and Gu Qianning were talking and laughing. They ate delicious food that was rarely seen outside, and drank fine wine.

On Xiao Qingxi's side, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

When Nanny Kang came to bring her lunch, she knocked it all over.

"I don't want to eat these! Chicken soup, fish soup, pigeon soup every day. You're feeding me like a pig!"

As she spoke, her wrist began to hurt again. She pressed her wrist, becoming more and more annoyed: "Those imperial doctors are all quacks! My wrist hurts so much that it's about to break, and they can't even see what's wrong with it! If I die at the hands of Shen Wantang one day, will they not know that I was killed by her?!"

Nanny Kang sighed helplessly. Her master had become increasingly difficult to serve recently. She had a strange temper to begin with, and it became even more unpredictable after her miscarriage.

She could only say, "My Lord, please stop going against the Crown Prince's Consort. It will do you no good at all. If you are upset and angry, then vent it to Lin Rouxin. After all, everything that happened to you today was caused by her."

Xiao Qingxi sneered: "Don't worry, after I recover, I will operate on her first! Didn't she go around saying that I tortured her? Then I will do as she said and torture her to death!"

"No, no, I want to torture her now, I can't wait a moment!"

Aunt Kang was shocked: "What are you going to do? Master, please don't be impulsive!"

"I'm not impulsive. I want to go back to the Huo family! I am Huo Yunzhou's legal wife. No woman can enter the Huo family without my permission! I also want to go to the palace with Huo Yunzhou to attend the Spring Banquet. I can't let him take Lin Rouxin with him!"

"But you haven't recovered yet. It won't be too late to return to the Huo family after you recover!"

"I'm afraid that by the time I recover, it will be too late!"

Xiao Qingxi clenched her fingers and gritted her teeth as she said, "Lin Rouxin said that she also wants to have a child for Huo Yunzhou. I can't let her succeed! I have to go back to the Huo family! Mammy, prepare the carriage, I'm leaving right away!"

Seeing that she could not persuade her at all, Nanny Kang hurriedly went to see Princess Ning under the pretext of asking people to prepare the carriage and told her that Xiao Qingxi was going back to the Huo family.

Princess Ning came over immediately after hearing this.

Unfortunately, no matter how she tried to persuade him, Xiao Qingxi just wouldn't listen and insisted on going back to the Huo family.

Princess Ning had no choice but to send more maids and nannies to follow her, and gave her daughter twenty guards to escort her to the Huo family.

Xiao Qingxi's return to the Huo family was such a grand event that Shen Wantang naturally knew about it immediately.

She was slightly tipsy and in a good mood: "A Ning, my sister-in-law must have heard what you said, so she rushed back to the Huo family in such a hurry. I toast to you, A Ning, and thank you for driving away the troublemaker for me."

Gu Qianning was drunk, she smiled brightly, and said with a big tongue: "Atang, this sister-in-law in your family is not good at all. In fact, I am quite good. I have never had any conflicts with my eldest sister-in-law. We have always been in harmony. I am the most qualified sister-in-law. Otherwise, I will be your sister-in-law too?"

Shen Wantang laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you be my sister-in-law? You are my best friend!"

Gu Qianning staggered and held her hand: "I, I'm not talking nonsense, I just want to be your sister-in-law! From now on, I will call you second sister-in-law, okay? Marry my second brother!"

Shen Wantang's drunkenness disappeared instantly. She shuddered and quickly covered Gu Qianning's mouth: "A Ning, you are drunk, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Gu Qianning forcefully pulled her hand away: "I am serious, and my second brother is serious too, he likes you very very very much... well..."

Shen Wantang covered her mouth again, refusing to let her continue.

"A Ning, you are really drunk."

Shen Wantang smiled at her and helped her up: "Let's go to my bedroom and take a nap to sober up."

She had a smile on her face, but she had made up her mind in her heart that she would never let Gu Qianning drink again. She had a very poor alcohol tolerance and started talking nonsense after just a few drinks.

Gu Qianning was helped onto the bed, and as soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep immediately.

When she woke up again, it was already evening.

Shen Wantang was beside her, wiping the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief. When she opened her eyes, he asked with a smile, "A Ning, are you awake? How are you? Do you have a headache? I asked someone to prepare some hangover soup for you. Do you want to drink it?"

It took Gu Qianning a while to react before she remembered that she had been drinking with Shen Wantang. She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have said some nonsense, but she could not remember what she said specifically.

It shouldn't be something important, right?

She smiled at Shen Wantang: "I'm fine, no need to drink the hangover soup. I have to go home. I've been out for too long today! I'll come and play with you another day!"

Shen Wantang naturally couldn't keep her any longer, otherwise she would have to spend the night in the palace. She nodded: "Okay, then I'll take you there."

Gu Qianning was sitting in the carriage on the way back to the Duke's Mansion. She still had a slight headache. She couldn't help rubbing her forehead and asked the maid: "Xiao He, did I make a fool of myself by drinking this time?"

Xiao He shook her head: "Miss, you didn't make a fool of yourself!"

"Oh, then I feel relieved. It seems my drinking habits have improved. I can drink without worry from now on."

"But Miss, your problem of talking nonsense after drinking has not improved!"

"Huh? Did I say anything?"

"I told you that you wanted to be the sister-in-law of the Crown Prince's wife!"

"what?!"

"You also said that the Second Young Master really, really, really likes the Crown Princess, and that the Second Young Master is serious about her. If the Crown Princess hadn't covered your mouth, you would have said even more nonsense!"

Gu Qianning: “…”

It's over, it's over!

If my second brother knew she said this, he would kill her!
