Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband

How could Aunt Zhang see through her thoughts? Her gratitude was beyond words. After calming down, she asked in confusion, "Madam, the eldest lady and Miss Huaiyu did not appreciate your kindness. Why do you still work so hard? In my humble opinion, it is better to just get by on the surface. In this way, you can also gain a reputation for kindness."

When Aunt Zhang said this, her attitude was completely different from before. Before, she was still a little wary and respectful, but now, she was completely concerned about Gu Qinlan.

After interacting with the two girls from the Zheng family for some time, she had a very bad impression of them.

She had never seen such an ungrateful person!

Her wife cares about them wholeheartedly, but what kind of faces do they have behind their backs?

Madam is just their sister-in-law and adoptive mother. Wouldn't it be wiser for her to do a little superficial work, raise them to adulthood, and get them married, in exchange for a good reputation, than to do what she is doing now?

Gu Qinlan knew that Aunt Zhang was speaking up for her out of sincerity, so she smiled and said, "Aunt, since I stepped into the high walls of Prince Duan's Mansion, this honor has been inseparable from me. I don't know how many prying eyes are locked on me in secret. I have no intention of getting involved in this dispute, but they haven't made a big mistake yet, so I can't just sit back and watch."

Aunt Zhang sighed, with a bit of helplessness: "Madam has considered everything carefully, but I, the old servant, have not thought it through thoroughly enough."

Gu Qinlan smiled at her gently: "Madam, I am grateful for your kindness. It is getting late, and you have suffered a lot of grievances today. I will let Fu Yu accompany you back to have a good rest. There is no rush for our conversation."

Nanny Zhang stood up and bowed respectfully to Gu Qinlan: "I dare not trouble Miss Fu Yu. It is more appropriate for her to stay with Madam and take care of her. I can go back on my own."

Gu Qinlan said casually: "No problem, let Fu Yu accompany you back, and also give a warning to the people over there, so that they don't forget themselves and break the rules."

Unless Fu Yu left, how could she calm down and read the second half of the letter carefully?

However, Nanny Zhang thought that Gu Qinlan was worried that she would be embarrassed if she went back alone and be laughed at by the people in the eldest girl's courtyard, so she asked Fu Yu to accompany her to give her courage.

This misunderstanding touched Aunt Zhang even more. When she walked out of the room, she couldn't help but wipe away a tear quietly.

She was strict and harsh throughout her life, and all the women she taught resented her. She thought her old age would be as miserable as those of her other old sisters, but she did not expect that the woman who had treated her most harshly would give her warm care.

She is truly blessed!

Otherwise, how could I meet such a kind lady?

She secretly made up her mind to serve the lady wholeheartedly and help her solve all difficult and complicated problems.

Gu Qinlan had no idea that she had quietly won a loyal servant. At this moment, her mind was entirely on the second half of the mysterious letter.

After everyone had left, she returned to the desk, picked up the letter and continued to read it.

She thought the second half of the letter would contain some embarrassing words, but she didn't expect that the letter would end with a painting.

A painting depicting a sunset in the northern border.

On the vast Gobi Desert, military tents are scattered all over the place, a fiery red sunset hangs in the sky, and the smoke rising from the military camp reaches the sky.

This extremely simple painting made Gu Qinlan fascinated.

Is this the Northern Xinjiang where he is? Is this the scenery of the Northern Xinjiang? How she wished she could see that magnificent scenery in person!

She will definitely achieve it in this life.

When Fu Yu came back from sending Aunt Zhang back and her eyes fell on the painting, she was also deeply attracted by it.

"Miss, is this painting really from the hand of my uncle? It is really unexpected that my uncle, as a military commander, can actually paint such a delicate painting. Our uncle is a man of both civil and military talents, and he is outstanding."

Gu Qinlan smiled lightly and responded: "You only know his literary and martial side?"

Fu Yu nodded without hesitation: "My girl's husband is naturally a hero in the world, the best among men!"

The face of Zheng Dinglian appeared in Gu Qinlan's mind, and she thought to herself that he was indeed worthy of the reputation of being a rare talent among men.

Fu Yu asked, "Miss, do you need to prepare a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?"

Gu Qinlan's eyes fell on the scar on her head, and she felt pity for her: "You should go and rest first. It's not advisable to rush around these days. If you have any matters, let the maids below handle them."

If she hadn't considered that Hongye's eloquence was not as good as Fu Yu's, she wouldn't have let Fu Yu make the trip.

Fu Yu said firmly: "It's just a flesh wound. I don't feel the pain any more. Girl, I'm not that delicate."

Gu Qinlan waved her to leave: "Even if you are not a delicate person, you should stay in bed and recuperate. You can perform your duties better if you recover soon."

After that, she called Hongye: "Take her back to the room and let her sleep. If she doesn't want to rest, you can't rest either."

Hongye immediately took Fu Yu away without hesitation.

Although Fu Yu was unwilling, she was unable to break free from Hong Ye's pull and could only cry out in panic.

Gu Qinlan watched them leave with a smile, then she spread out the paper herself, moistened the tip of the pen, turned around, picked up the inkstone and ink block, and began to grind.

She had originally planned to write to Zheng Dinglian to ask for medicine after she returned. Coincidentally, he sent her a letter, so she mentioned the matter of asking for medicine in her reply.

Before she started writing, she first prepared a draft in her mind, and when she put pen to paper, her handwriting was as smooth as flowing water.

Her handwriting is extremely outstanding. Unlike the soft and beautiful handwriting of ordinary girls, it reveals a unique heroism and grandeur.

She took into account Zheng Dinglian's writing style and guessed that he might not like overly ornate writing, so she also chose a straightforward vernacular style.

She gave a general account of the various affairs at home during this period and gave detailed descriptions of several masters of the Zheng family.

Recalling the battlefield situation mentioned by Zheng Dinglian in the letter, as well as his experience of being disfigured and seriously injured in his previous life, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but feel a little worried. She specifically reminded him in the letter: "War is ruthless and swords are blind. Be sure to act cautiously and put safety first."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "I hope the prince returns safely."

At the end of the letter, she wrote about requesting medicine.

When signing the letter, Gu Qinlan paused for a moment. The last signature of Zheng Dinglian's letter was "Written by Fu Dinglian".

So she also neatly wrote down the four words: "Written by my wife Qin Lan", with deep emotions revealed between the lines.

After the ink on the letter had dried completely, she carefully folded it and put it into an envelope. On the plain and elegant envelope, she wrote the words "Zheng Dinglian" in her beautiful handwriting.

Before night fell, Gu Qinlan decided to summon Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye was very perceptive and knew that it was already night time, so he did not step into Gu Qinlan's boudoir. Instead, he stood under the eaves and said politely, "Madam, if you have any instructions, Jiang Ye will do whatever you want."
