Chapter 547: Did the prince send someone to bring you back?
Shen Wantang also stood up: "No need for you to send me off, just lend me your carriage and driver."
She couldn't explain herself clearly when someone saw her being sent home by Gu Qianhan.
Gu Qianhan didn't insist after being rejected. It was indeed not appropriate to reveal the fact that they knew each other at the moment.
But he sent Shen Wantang to the door, watched her get on the carriage, and waited until the carriage disappeared before he withdrew his gaze.
"Second brother."
Gu Qianning's voice sounded behind him, and he turned around: "What's wrong?"
"Are you still going to wait until the matter is settled before marrying Atang this time?"
"Who said I have to wait?"
"Not waiting anymore? Aren't you afraid that you'll get her into trouble if you fail?"
"No more waiting, because there's no way I'm going to fail this time!"
Gu Qianning smiled. This was her confident, arrogant and domineering genius second brother.
"But second brother, what Atang said before also makes sense. If you want to marry her, I'm afraid mother won't agree. Have you figured out how to convince mother?"
Gu Qianhan said calmly, "Tell mother first that I have a crush on someone, and tell her not to bother with anything else, and stop inviting Madam Liu and Liu Nanshi to our house."
"Okay, then should I say that your crush is Atang?"
"explain."
"Ah? Really? If I did, mother would definitely find a way to see her."
"Tell her who it is, just so she can meet him. She will like Atang. Didn't you and Atang make an appointment to go to Fazhen Temple together? Just ask your mother to go with you. When the time comes, I will do some tricks and it will be done."

Shen House.
After Shen Wantang came back, he took Dujuan back to his own courtyard.
Not long after she came back, Shen Mingxuan came with a gloomy face.
"I heard that you came back in a carriage, and it was an extremely luxurious carriage? Tell me, whose carriage was it?!"
Shen Wantang looked calm and asked, "Whose carriage do you think it belongs to, sister?"
"how could I know!!"
"You left me at the gate of Prince Ning's mansion, unable to return home. Unexpectedly, the prince saw me and took pity on me, so he sent the mansion's carriage to take me back! Thank you so much, sister. Without you, I really wouldn't have been able to ride in the mansion's carriage. Sister, you didn't see how spacious and comfortable that carriage was. It's so much better than the carriage in our mansion."
Shen Mingxuan's voice suddenly rose: "What?! It turned out to be the carriage of Prince Ning's Mansion? It turned out that the prince sent someone to send you back?"
"Yes, besides the prince, is there anyone else?"
Shen Wantang spoke in a light tone and lied without even blinking.
Just let Xiao Qingyuan take the blame. Shen Mingxuan would never confront Xiao Qingyuan anyway.
"Sister, the prince seems to treat me very differently!"
Shen Wantang's tone was three parts smug and three parts arrogant: "You say, I am not going to be the prince's consort of the Ning Wang Mansion, am I? Oh, a high family like the Ning Wang Mansion must have very strict rules! Sister, if I marry in, you may have to bow to me!"
Shen Mingxuan was so angry that her temples throbbed with pain: "Just you? You still want to marry into the Ning Wang Mansion? Dream on! There is no way that Prince Xiao will marry you. He has already said that he wants to marry Liu Nanshi, the daughter of Elder Liu!"
"Oh, sister, why are you only half-obedient? That's what Prince Xiao said, but Princess Ning disagrees! Marriage is always decided by the elders. If Prince Xiao could really make his own decision on marriage, wouldn't he have married Miss Chu long ago? I think sister must have seen that Princess Ning likes me, otherwise she wouldn't have given me the jade hairpin, what do you think?"
As Shen Wantang spoke, he took out the emerald green jade hairpin from the box and played with it.
Shen Mingxuan stared at the hairpin, her jealous eyes almost bursting into flames!
She stretched out her hand towards Shen Wantang: "You don't deserve to wear such a fine hairpin. Give it to me!"
Shen Wantang looked at her in surprise: "Sister, what are you doing? Are you trying to steal my things? Then I'll have to ask father to judge. Sister, you want to snatch something given to me by my elders. When I see Princess Ning again, if she asks me why I don't wear the hairpin, I won't be able to explain it to her!"
Shen Mingxuan's eyes were gloomy, her teeth were grinding, and she looked like she wanted to eat Shen Wantang alive.
But she didn't dare to really go forward and grab it, simply because she was no longer sure who her father would side with.
In the morning, her father, who had always favored her, actually had someone take away her new clothes and jewelry and gave them all to Shen Wantang!
Now, Shen Wantang is still wearing her new clothes!
She stared at Shen Wantang for a while, and suddenly forced a smile: "What are you talking about, sister? I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously? Can't we even tell a joke between sisters?"
"You wore my new clothes and jewelry, and I didn't feel bad at all, so why would I ask for a hairpin from you?"
"Keep them all, sister. After all, this may be the best thing you've ever gotten in your life. It's so pitiful."
After Shen Mingxuan finished speaking, she turned around, her smile disappeared instantly, and then she walked out.
She suppressed her great anger all the way and ran to Qi's yard impatiently.
"Mother! Mother, help me!"
Qi waved her hand, sent the servant away, and asked her, "What happened again?"
"That damn bitch, she showed off to me the hairpin the princess gave her, and also showed off that Prince Xiao sent a carriage to take her back home!"
Qi was shocked: "What? Did Prince Xiao really send a carriage to bring her back? Are you sure?"
"Sure! I'm absolutely sure!"
"It seems that Prince Xiao really knew that bitch before. When did they meet?"
"Mother, it's already this late, why are you still thinking about these useless things? No matter when they met, we must not let that bitch marry into Prince Ning's mansion! Otherwise, won't she ride on my head and bully me in the future?"
Qi sneered, "Why are you so anxious? How could I let that bitch ride on your head? I have already chosen a marriage for her that will make her miserable! She wants to marry into Prince Ning's mansion, but there is no way!"
Shen Mingxuan was overjoyed: "What? Mother has already found a marriage for her? Then marry her off quickly, don't keep her for even a day, get married tomorrow!"
"Don't worry, I still have some use for her in the mansion!"
"What's the use of her? She will just steal my new clothes and annoy me!"
"Silly child, didn't you say you wanted to marry Prince Xiao?"
"Yes, I want to marry him! He is the most handsome man I have ever seen. If I can marry him, I will do anything for him!"
Qi smiled contemptuously: "Then let that bitch be your stepping stone. Isn't she an old acquaintance of Prince Xiao? Doesn't Princess Ning like her? Then use her to finalize this marriage first! After it's finalized, I will marry her to another family, and the marriage of Prince Ning's Mansion will be given to you!"
Shen Mingxuan was shocked and admired: "Old people are always wise. Mother's trick is so mean, so sinister, and so good!"
