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

Gu Qinlan didn't say much, her heart was filled with eager anticipation for welcoming her relatives.

She hurried to the gate, her steps firm and light, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake.

Xiaohan fell behind a few steps and gently helped the stumbling Lidong up.

"Miss Lidong, the madam is really helpless. If you really want the best for the young lady, then follow the madam's arrangements. Otherwise, the ultimate victim will only be the young lady, and you will inevitably be implicated."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaohan hurriedly chased after his master.

Li Dong watched Gu Qinlan and the others walk away, her heart broken with grief. She understood all the truths, but what could she do? Since she had chosen to follow the eldest lady, she had to put her first, otherwise her own life would become more and more difficult.

However, what the lady said is absolutely right. If the eldest daughter does not change her temperament, she will encounter major setbacks in the future.

Lidong had already made up her mind. She wiped the tears from her face, walked towards the kitchen, and brought out a plate of dishes.

At this time, the big kitchen was bustling with activity. As night fell, there were few ingredients left in the kitchen. The cooks could only choose the existing ingredients to cook. Although the dishes were not as carefully prepared as usual, they were still delicious.

Zheng Huiyi was a spoiled girl and was very picky in her daily life. Therefore, when Lidong served those simple dishes, she immediately flew into a rage, knocked the tray to the ground, and the food spilled everywhere.

Zheng Huiyi was extremely angry and roared like thunder: "Gu Qinlan, how dare you fool me with such a crude meal! And the servants in this mansion are all villains who curry favor with the powerful!"

Li Dong was so frightened that he tried to comfort her: "Calm down, young lady. These dishes are not meant to fool you. They are really..."

Before she could finish her words, she was slapped loudly. Half of her cheek suddenly felt burning with pain and her ears were buzzing.

Zheng Huiyi stared at Li Dong with her eyes wide open: "Are you speaking for that bitch?"

Li Dong shook her head in panic, tears streaming down her face: "Miss, you misunderstood. It's really not what you imagined, ah..."

Immediately afterwards, another slap came.

Zheng Huiyi stared at Li Dong fiercely: "Are you going to betray me too? That bitch Gu Qinlan is so powerful now, do you want to join her camp too?"

Li Dong burst into tears and shook her head desperately: "No, young lady, I will never betray you. I am your maid and will always obey your orders. I will never have any other thoughts."

Zheng Huiyi didn't want to listen to her explanation. She grabbed something on the table and threw it at her: "Get out! Get out! Aren't you going to join that bitch? Go, leave now!"

The pain made her unable to move. At this critical moment, the servant outside the door was worried about her safety, so he mustered up his courage, rushed in and dragged her away from the scene with difficulty.

As the door was tightly closed again, a violent storm swept through Zheng Huiyi's room again. She had not had a drop of water or a grain of rice for a whole day and night, and now she was exhausted from emotional excitement, and she felt dizzy from hunger and fatigue.

Hunger made her desire for food even stronger, and her sense of smell became unusually sharp. The dishes that were knocked over on the ground exuded a tempting aroma, which made her swallow her saliva again and again.

She could hardly control herself, and her steps involuntarily moved towards the food, and she wanted to reach out and pick up the delicious food that had not yet touched the ground. However, the remaining dignity and rationality in her heart made her stop abruptly.

The resentment in her heart was like a blazing fire, growing more and more intense. She was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Duan's mansion, her ancestors and fathers were all brave and fearless generals, and she had been the pearl of the Zheng family since birth. When had she ever suffered such an insult!

Why should she endure such humiliation in her own home!

All the pain and resentment stem from that bitch Gu Qinlan! Ever since she stepped into the Zheng family's door, her life has gone from bad to worse. Now, her mother is bewitched by her, and her brother also favors her.

Then, what am I? Just a joke?

No! She absolutely cannot continue to endure bullying here!

Her mother was not at home, her brother was far away in the frontier, and she could not rely on her three heartless nephews and nieces. If she did not find a way out for herself, she would be tortured to death by Gu Qinlan sooner or later!

Run away! This was the only thought in her mind.

After a while, she called out loudly: "Someone! Lidong, get in here right now!"

Lidong, who had been waiting outside the door, heard his master's call and hurriedly asked the two gatekeepers for help, requesting them to open the door and let him in.

The two servants were full of sympathy for Lidong. They whispered to her, "Sister Lidong, you'd better ask the young lady outside the door if she needs anything. Otherwise, you will definitely be beaten again when you go in."

They saw with their own eyes that Lidong's face was swollen from being beaten.

Li Dong gave them a smile that was uglier than crying: "If I don't go in, I'm afraid the young lady will make a bigger fuss. Madam is entertaining distinguished guests. If the noise here gets out, it will be a big loss to Madam's reputation."

The two servants thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. So they discussed it and decided to open the door to let Li Dong in. At the same time, they reminded her: "If the young lady attacks again, you should run out immediately and don't stand there stupidly to get beaten."

Lidong responded in an inaudible voice.

She pushed the door open and as it quietly closed, the room fell into silence.

Li Dong looked around but didn't see Zheng Huiyi. She felt anxious and raised her voice to call out, "Girl, where are you?"

At this moment, she suddenly felt a slight movement behind her, and before she could react, Zheng Huiyi sprinkled a handful of powder behind her. Li Dong was caught off guard, and the powder drifted into her nose with the wind. She only had time to inhale twice before she felt dizzy and her body swayed a few times. Finally, her legs became weak and she fell heavily to the ground.

"Bang bang bang-"

The servant outside the door noticed that there was silence in the house for a long time, and he became suspicious, so he walked up and knocked on the door.

"Sister Lidong, is the eldest girl okay?"

Before he finished speaking, a crisp slapping sound was heard from inside the house, followed by Zheng Huiyi's scolding: "Get out of here! You are a piece of shit, you can't even handle such a small matter, what use do I have for you!"

Then, an object hit the door fiercely. Zheng Huiyi roared angrily: "What are you knocking for! If you knock again, I will break your hands! Get out of here and don't bother me!"

The two servants were so frightened that they shrank their necks and quickly took a few steps back, avoiding the door.

The sound of beating and scolding could be heard again in the house, and the two servants whispered to the side: "The eldest lady is really too cruel. Sister Lidong has really suffered a great injustice this time."

"Alas, as a servant, what can I do? Do you think everyone can have the good luck like those people in Gu Qinlan's courtyard?"
