Chapter 483 Why is he smiling so beautifully?
Shen Wantang saw the Bodhi bracelet on Gu Qianhan's wrist. The bracelet that had always been worn on her wrist was snatched away by him.
She no longer dared to wear the necklace he gave her, but he wore it openly like a token of love.
"You don't have to worry about my business. Just take care of your own business. Also, you have to remember what you promised me. No matter what the outcome is, you will not kill me. It is the Xiao family that has a grudge against you, not me."
Gu Qianhan sighed softly: "Do I look like such a heartless person? Don't think so badly of me. I am close to you for no other purpose, and I'm not afraid that you will tell on me. I just..." I just wanted to get close to you too much.
His emotions were surging, but Shen Wantang was sober and rational: "You said so much, but it's useless. Can you give me a definite answer?"
Gu Qianhan was suddenly angry and amused. He held Shen Wantang's hand and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! I promise here today that I will not kill you no matter who I kill. You will not die even if I die. Are you satisfied?"
Shen Wantang looked at her hand that he was holding, and suddenly realized that she didn't seem to reject him that much.
At least, if the person holding her hand was Xiao Qingyuan, she would not be able to endure it and she should have kicked him out long ago.
She even felt that being held in Gu Qianhan's warm hands felt pretty good.
This is really not a good sign!
Shen Wantang collected his thoughts and nodded reluctantly: "It's OK. Although verbal promises may not be useful, I think you are not the kind of person who goes back on your word. If I'm wrong about you, then I'm blind."
Gu Qianhan held her hand tighter: "No chance of that happening!"
"Oh, all right."
Gu Qianhan looked at her helplessly and tucked the hair around her ears: "It's me who is supposed to do that big thing, but why do I feel like you're more nervous and worried than I am?"
Shen Wantang was slightly startled. Really? Was she so obvious? She thought she had hidden it well!
"Don't worry, you'll be fine even if the sky falls."
Gu Qianhan whispered to comfort her, then let go of her hand and kissed her on the forehead: "I'm leaving now. If you have anything, please send someone to the Duke's Mansion to send me a letter."
Before Shen Wantang could react, he had already pushed the door open and walked out.
Her forehead still lingered with the touch of his warmth, and her surroundings still lingered with his scent. Everything told her that Gu Qianhan had invaded her world in a strong and powerful manner.
She touched her forehead, walked to the window and opened it.
The warm wind blew in, curling her hair, like someone's hand gently stroking it.
A moment later, she saw Gu Qianhan and Jixiang walking out of Zuixianlou. He seemed to be aware of her gaze and looked back.
Shen Wantang subconsciously wanted to hide, but it was too late.
She had no choice but to stand there and continue looking at him, and then she saw him giving her a very faint smile.
Shen Wantang couldn't help but sigh. Why was he smiling so beautifully?
"Elder Concubine."
Du Juan came up behind her without her noticing: "Mr. Liao's mother is here. Do you want her to come in and see you?"
Shen Wantang came back to her senses, closed the window again and sat down on the chair.
"Let her in!"
"Yes."
Dujuan went out and brought Zhen in.
"Oh, Princess, I finally see you again. I missed you so much!"
As soon as Zhen came in, she acted very familiarly: "We are all real relatives, you should interact with us more!"
Shen Wantang looked at her calmly: "I heard that you were kicked out of the Shen family again?"
"Oh, don't mention it!"
Zhen's face was filled with resentment: "Princess, let me say that your family is so stingy! We can barely afford a few bites of food, but they refused to keep us here! I think the richer the family, the more stingy they are! On the contrary, poor families like us are generous and willing to help our relatives without asking for anything in return!"
"Oh, and your elder sister is nothing at all, cheap and vicious. I really regret it. I shouldn't have asked You He to marry such a woman! An immoral woman ruins three generations, and that's what Shen Mingxuan is all about!"
"Poor You He, such a talented child, was ruined by her! My son could have been the top scorer in the imperial examination, but he failed because of her!"
Shen Wantang was a little surprised. Liao Youhe didn't pass the imperial examination in this life?
She really didn't pay attention to this matter. If Shen Mingxuan hadn't caused trouble, she might not have even remembered that there was a person named Liao Youhe, and naturally she wouldn't have paid attention to whether he passed the imperial examination or not.
To be fair, Liao Youhe's articles are quite good. In his previous life, he had been studying hard and had made sufficient preparations for the imperial examination.
In this life, he married Shen Mingxuan and even delayed his studies.
No wonder Shen Mingxuan went to the Ministry of Justice to report her and insisted that she killed Chu Yanluo. It turned out that Liao Youhe failed to pass the imperial examination, and she felt unbalanced. She didn't live a good life, and she didn't want others to live a good life.
Zhen complained and cursed a lot, glancing at the ruby hairpin on Shen Wantang's head as she spoke, her greed evident in her words.
Shen Wantang had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to her for a lifetime, so she naturally knew what kind of person she was.
She interrupted Zhen's complaints and said calmly, "Since you hate Shen Mingxuan so much, why don't you ask your son to divorce her? Wouldn't it be better to have someone else as your wife?"
Zhen's eyes widened: "Oh, how can we just divorce easily! If we divorce, it will cost a lot of money to marry another wife! Besides, my son didn't pass the imperial examination this time, but he will definitely pass it next time. It won't be too late to divorce Shen Mingxuan after he passes. He still has to live in the Shen family for the next two years!"
Shen Wantang shook her head: "So that's how it is. What a pity! I was thinking of finding a matchmaker for your son!"
Zhen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "I wonder what matchmaker the Crown Prince's Consort is looking for?"
"Since you have no intention of getting a divorce, I won't go into details. But the girl's family background and appearance are far superior to my elder sister's. I think she will be able to help your son in his career in the future. I didn't expect you to be unwilling, so let it go!"
"Oh, Princess, please don't! Divorce is not something that cannot be discussed. I have long disliked Shen Mingxuan. She doesn't know how to be filial to her mother-in-law. She should have been divorced long ago!"
Zhen showed a strange smile on her face: "I just didn't expect that you really wanted my son and Shen Mingxuan to divorce. After all, Shen Mingxuan is your elder sister. Why don't you hope for her well at all, but instead hope for her to divorce?"
Shen Wantang sighed, "I asked Liao Youhe and my eldest sister to divorce because it was for my eldest sister's own good. I heard that she has not yet consummated her marriage with Liao Youhe, and the two of them are always arguing, and their lives are a mess. If they divorce, my eldest sister can marry someone else, and your son can marry someone else, and maybe everyone will be happy."
