Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 21 Nianchu, I came back for you
Chapter 21

"This common woman pays respect to His Majesty the Prince of Qi."

Gu Nianchu bowed deeply, and the Qi Wang Zhou Yuchen, who was sitting at the top, said in a deep voice: "Miss Gu, please don't be polite. Sit down and talk."

Gu Nianchu sat at the bottom, and Zhou Yuchen asked someone to serve tea: "Try it, this is the Yunwu Mountain old tea that you used to like."

"Your Highness, Prince Qi, I no longer like it."

Gu Nianchu's words made Zhou Yuchen couldn't help but sigh: "Nianchu, do you really have to be polite to me? Aren't we friends anymore?"

Gu Nianchu lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, I am now a member of the Shen family."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuchen stood up abruptly and said angrily: "Nianchu, how long do you want to keep this secret from me? Shen Ling has now married a concubine and returned home, how long do you want to keep deceiving yourself?"

When Gu Nianchu heard Zhou Yuchen say this, she stopped pretending: "Yes, Shen Ling married a concubine into the mansion, but so what? That can't change the fact that I am a wife of the Shen family."

Zhou Yuchen's voice was a little hoarse: "Nian Chu, I have already asked my father for an imperial decree to grant marriage, but..."

Gu Nianchu straightened his back and said, "Your Highness, Prince Qi! The past is the past. We are no longer the same as we were before. Please don't mention it again!"

Zhou Yuchen was unwilling to give up: "Nianchu, you said you won't tell me, so what? Do you know how I have lived for the past five years? I walk on the edge of a knife every day, and I play games with the King of Hell every moment! I have reached the Naihe Bridge so many times. If it weren't for this unwillingness in my heart, how could I come back alive?"

"And now you tell me not to mention it again!"

Zhou Yuchen stood up and walked to Gu Nianchu: "Nianchu, if Shen Ling really treats you well, then I will let you live a good life with him, but ask yourself, is he really good to you?"

Gu Nianchu said stubbornly: "Your Highness Prince Qi, I am no longer the Miss Gu I used to be. There is absolutely no possibility for us to be together!"

Zhou Yuchen reached out and held Gu Nianchu's wrist: "Nianchu, divorce him and be my Princess Qi!"

Gu Nianchu tried to pry Zhou Yuchen's fingers apart with her other hand, but Zhou Yuchen refused to let go. Gu Nianchu could not help but frown.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Yuchen stared at Gu Nianchu: "Nianchu, what do you think I am going to do? I didn't have the ability to resist my father at the beginning, but now I am back alive. The belief that has kept me alive all these years is to come back and marry you!"

Gu Nianchu shook her head: "Your Highness, even if I divorce Shen Ling, there is no way I can be with you again. I'm already married to Shen Ling and I've given birth to a son for him. You are a royal family, how could you possibly marry a divorced woman?"

Zhou Yuchen's eyes were full of determination: "Nianchu, you know, as long as it's you, it's fine."

Gu Nianchu smiled bitterly: "Your Highness Prince Qi, calm down. The Emperor refused to let you marry me at the beginning. How could the Emperor agree to it now with my status? Those retainers who depend on Your Highness will not agree to Your Highness marrying a divorced woman. Your Highness, please stop saying such things."

"There are thousands of beautiful women in the world, and there will be a beautiful girl who will grow old with Your Highness."

Zhou Yuchen changed the subject: "What is your relationship with that child?"

Gu Nianchu did not lie: "I suspect he should be my child. My child was taken away by Shen Ling when he was born. He was said to be dead, but it happened that there was another child next to his concubine at the same time, and he pushed the child in front of Your Highness's horse when Your Highness came back."

Shen Ling was planning to make His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi owe him a debt that he could not repay.

Zhou Yuchen was very happy that Gu Nianchu did not lie to him: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Chang Huan. When Chang Huan recovers, he will stay with me and I will teach him personally."

Gu Nianchu looked up at Zhou Yuchen in surprise. Zhou Yuchen's ears turned red. "Your child is my child. I will teach him as if he were my own child." Gu Nianchu refused. "No, I can teach him myself. My eldest brother can also teach him when he is a little older."

Zhou Yuchen said pitifully: "Nianchu, please have pity on me. I have suffered so much these years just to come back to find you. Please don't be so heartless."

Gu Nianchu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Your Highness Prince Qi, you may have forgotten who you are! Don't you know what people outside are saying about you?"

Zhou Yuchen lowered his head and looked a little lonely: "I know, they all say that I am a living devil, cruel and inhumane, and women usually use me to scare crying children."

"But, Nian Chu, I just want to come back alive to find you. If I weren't cruel, I wouldn't be alive today."

Gu Nianchu felt sad: "Your Highness Prince Qi, please don't say such things again. If you say such things again, I won't dare to keep Chang Huan with you."

When Zhou Yuchen heard her say this, he hurriedly said, "Good Nianchu, I will never say such things again in the future. Don't take Changhuan away."

After taking Chang Huan away, he could no longer secretly peek at her from behind.

"Okay, I'm going to go see Chang Huan. He's waiting for me to have dinner with him."

Gu Nianchu stood up to say goodbye, and Zhou Yuchen pleaded pitifully: "Nianchu, can I go with you to see him?"

Gu Nianchu nodded and agreed: "Let's go, but you have to put away your ferocious look and don't scare Chang Huan."

Fierce and evil?

Zhou Yuchen felt aggrieved, but he couldn't find anywhere to vent.

"I used to be a handsome and elegant young man."

He uttered this quietly, and Gu Nianchu thought of Zhou Yuchen five years ago. She had some sympathy in her eyes: "You've suffered a lot these years."

Gu Nianchu has been thinking about one thing these days. In her previous life, the King of Qi returned in the year she died. Now he has returned ten years earlier. Is it because of the changes she experienced after her rebirth?
Zhou Yuchen’s performance today also made her very puzzled.

Chang Huan had been waiting in the yard, and when he saw Gu Nianchu coming, he rushed over with his short legs: "Mother, mother!"

The soft voice made Gu Nianchu's heart melt.

"Chang Huan, why aren't you waiting for your mother in the house on such a cold day? Come in quickly, don't catch a cold."

Gu Nianchu reached out and hugged Chang Huan, carrying him into the house.

Chang Huan kneeled down to salute Zhou Yuchen as soon as he saw him: "Chang Huan pays respect to His Majesty!"

Zhou Yuchen reached out and held the little guy in his arms. He looked him up and down, and that naked look made Chang Huan a little scared. There was panic in his eyes but he pursed his lower lips to prevent himself from saying it out loud.

"Yes, she looks a lot like your mother."

Zhou Yuchen was satisfied, and Gu Nianchu frowned slightly: "Your Highness, please put Chang Huan down, he is still a child, don't scare him."

Zhou Yuchen's face sank: "Am I that scary?"
