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

After the third prince ascended the throne, Grand Tutor Zhao and his sons were beheaded, while the female members of the Zhao family were exiled to the frontier.

She once thought that Master Zhao was an evil person.

However, she had never expected that he was actually forced into prostitution, and he had worked hard to climb to the pinnacle of power just to reach a position where he could compete with the third prince in order to avenge his daughter.

If a person can do this for his daughter, how bad can he be even if he has some bad character?

Miss Zhao opposite had no idea what Gu Qinlan was thinking, but when she heard her mother mentioned, tears fell like pearls from a broken string.

Will she be able to see her mother again in this life?

Seeing her tears streaming down her face, Gu Qinlan handed her his handkerchief.

In the previous life, if Zheng Huiyi had not run away from home and been abducted by Luo Mama's men, there would not have been another Gu Qinlan, so the fate of this Miss Zhao was already determined.

Thinking of such a pure and kind woman being persecuted by those scums, Gu Qinlan's heart was filled with uncontrollable anger.

"Don't be afraid. We have already survived the most difficult times. What comes next will no longer be a problem."

Miss Zhao burst into tears and did not take the handkerchief. She just shook her head and said, "No, I can't get over this. After going through such hardships, how can I have the face to reunite with my family? If I go back, it will only bring disaster to my sisters and bring shame to the family."

Gu Qinlan gently raised her hand and wiped away her tears: "You haven't even tried yet, how can you be sure that they won't accept you?"

In the previous life, Grand Tutor Zhao's family was able to do so much. She didn't believe that the Zhao family would abandon Miss Zhao just because she encountered misfortune.

Miss Zhao cried and said, "I dare not."

If she didn't try, she could still keep a glimmer of fantasy in her heart, and comfort herself that she didn't want to drag down the family. But once she tried, even the last glimmer of fantasy might be shattered.

This feudal ethics is so cruel to women!

Gu Qinlan was well aware of the struggle and pressure in Miss Zhao's heart, so she said no more and just waited patiently for Miss Zhao to calm down.

Miss Zhao had good upbringing, so her emotions didn't last long and she quickly controlled her tears.

Then, she suddenly knelt down in front of Gu Qinlan: "I will never forget your kindness in saving my life. Please accept my humble greeting."

If Gu Qinlan hadn't saved her, she would have committed suicide long ago.

Gu Qinlan quickly stepped forward and held her up with his hand: "Miss Zhao, there is no need to be so reserved. Please stand up quickly."

Miss Zhao refused to stand up, her voice choking with sobs: "My benefactor, I have something to ask of you, but I'm afraid it's not asking for much."

Gu Qinlan could only comfort her softly: "As long as you are willing to get up, I will do my best to meet any request you make."

The trickiest part for her was reuniting her with her family in the process.

In fact, she was not averse to this challenge. After all, it would be a great opportunity for her to establish connections with the Zhao family.

Master Zhao's methods were indeed extraordinary. Although he acted in an extreme way in his previous life, it was also out of his determination to avenge his daughter. Although there was no deep hatred in this life, the third prince was still the old enemy of the Zhao family. She could take this opportunity to form an alliance with the Zhao family.

However, when Miss Zhao stood firm, she said: "I hope to follow you, my benefactor, and become a maid, serving you for life, to repay you for saving my life."

She had thought it over carefully last night and knew that she could not return home and had no one to rely on, so she might as well beg her benefactor to take her in.

The person who could rescue her from such a hellish situation must be kind-hearted. By staying with her benefactor, she can not only repay his life-saving grace but also have a place to live. It is truly a great blessing.

Gu Qinlan was about to politely refuse, but Miss Zhao added, "If my benefactor refuses to accept me, I will have no choice but to die as a token of my guilt. I am homeless and defenseless, and I am afraid I will encounter more traps in the future. It is better to die with a clear conscience than to live in disgrace."

Faced with such a plea, Gu Qinlan had no choice but to agree.

"In that case, if you don't mind, just follow me. Although I can't make too many promises to you, I still have the ability to ensure your safety."

After hearing this, Miss Zhao wanted to kneel down to express her gratitude again.

This time, Gu Qinlan calmed her down in time: "Okay, no need to kneel again. Since you have decided to follow me, go pack your luggage and go back home with me. Fu Yu, go and help Miss Zhao."

Turning to face Aunt Lian, Gu Qinlan asked gently, "Aunt Lian, how much silver did we spend last night?"

To rescue people from Luo Mama's hands, you will definitely need some money.

You know, the information she provided the night before was only enough to exchange for Zheng Huiyi's freedom.

Mother Luo would never give her face again until she confirmed the authenticity.

Aunt Lian waved her arms hastily and denied it repeatedly: "It didn't cost much."

Her family had finally established a relationship with the noble Prince Duan's Mansion, and she absolutely did not want to leave a bad impression on the Crown Prince's wife because of a trivial matter.

Gu Qinlan insisted, "Aunt Lian, even if we are brothers, we still have to keep accounts clearly. I asked you and Uncle Jin for help, so how can I let them spend money and work hard? If you don't accept this money, how can I ask you for help in the future?"

Hearing this, Aunt Lian had no choice but to quote a price.

It must be mentioned that Xiaoxiang Pavilion was really ruthless. The women they collected from all over the place could be sold for as much as 100 taels of silver. A woman as talented and beautiful as Miss Zhao was even more priceless. Jin Tianming paid a huge sum of 500 taels of silver for her.

It is really heartbreaking and infuriating to think that those ladies who grew up under the care of their parents fell into the hands of these evil men and were sold like commodities.

Gu Qinlan did not stay in the Jin family for long. After finishing the business, she brought her group back to Prince Duan's Mansion.

As usual, she quietly entered the mansion through the back door.

Gu Qinlan asked Fu Yu to arrange accommodation for Miss Zhao, and she called Xiaoman to change her clothes.

Xiaoman reported as she helped Gu Qinlan change her clothes: "Madam, Miss Huaiyu and the eldest master had an argument. The eldest master was furious and even came to see you twice."

Gu Qinlan was slightly surprised: "Why are they suddenly arguing with each other?"

During this period of time, her mind was focused on finding Zheng Huiyi, and she did not pay much attention to the affairs of other children in the mansion.

Xiaoman explained: "I guess this matter may be related to their mother."

Gu Qinlan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Did Zou send someone to deliver a letter again?"

Xiaoman's eyes flashed with excitement, and she nodded and said, "Madam, you are really as good as a god. You guessed it all. Zou has sent people to deliver letters many times, hoping to see Miss Huaiyu. A few days ago, she even tried to enter the mansion under the pretext of visiting the eldest lady, but was stopped. Miss Huaiyu was determined not to see Zou at first, but for some reason, she suddenly changed her mind recently."

Gu Qinlan chuckled and said, "Go to her yard later and tell her that if she wants to see Zou, she can do so at any time without having to ask me specifically. She is her biological mother, and no one should stop a daughter from visiting her mother."
