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

"Hurry up and tell me so I can return as soon as possible, in case your uncle Lou comes back and finds out about this and gives me a stern look again."

Although Zheng Huaiyu was furious, she still remembered the purpose of her trip, so she suppressed her anger and waited for Zou to vent her anger before she slowly opened her mouth and tried to negotiate: "Mother, can you please help me take her to the Lou family to stay for a while?"

She had already made plans in her mind, knowing that it was unlikely that her mother would take her to the Lou family directly. After all, the Zheng family would not watch the family blood flow out. She planned to live in the Lou family temporarily, waiting for Zheng Huiyi's incident to become more serious, and then she would naturally ask to live with her mother. By then, the Zheng family would definitely be embarrassed to stop her.

However, Zou's reaction was extremely firm. Without even a moment's hesitation, she flatly rejected Zheng Huaiyu's seemingly "unreasonable" request.

"Huai Yu, you are no longer a child, you should understand things. My life in the Lou family is not easy, can't you give me less trouble?"

Before she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something. A hint of suspicion appeared in her eyes. She squinted her eyes and looked at Zheng Huaiyu from head to toe: "Why do you suddenly want to go to the Lou family? Are you attracted to Zhejie? Zheng Huaiyu, how old are you? Why are you so shameless?"

Zheng Huaiyu was so angry at his mother's words that he stamped his feet: "Mother!"

How could she possibly be attracted to that arrogant Lou Zhejie! Besides, last time Lou Zhejie was beaten black and blue by Zheng Fenghui, she had never even seen what Lou Zhejie looked like!

In Zou's heart, although others might find it unbelievable, she firmly believed that her guess was correct. In her eyes, Lou Yongwei surpassed her deceased ex-husband in every aspect. If one really wanted to find the only thing that Lou Yongwei was inferior to Zheng Huaiyu's father, it could only be the difference in birth.

Lou Zhejie inherited his father's handsome appearance, and Zou was so attracted by Lou Yongwei's charm since she was a child that she almost immediately wanted to remarry him after her husband's death.

She speculated on Zheng Huaiyu's thoughts based on her own feelings and concluded that her daughter must have fallen in love with Lou Zhejie.

This is never possible!

On the one hand, there is her biological daughter, and on the other hand, there is her stepson. If Zheng Huaiyu is really involved with Lou Zhejie, then her position in the Lou family will be in jeopardy, and the ridicule and sarcasm of others will surely follow her.

So, Zou advised Zheng Huaiyu earnestly: "You must be clear-headed. The Zheng family is the dignified Duanwang Mansion. Your father and grandfather have made great military achievements. Even if your third uncle, the general, died heroically on the battlefield, you don't have to worry about marriage. Although the Lou family is a merchant family, no matter how hard they try, they can't be compared with the Zheng family."

"Besides, you and Zhejie are like siblings. There is absolutely no possibility between you two. Give up those ridiculous thoughts immediately. You may not care about your face, but I still have to protect the dignity of my family!"

Zheng Huaiyu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She had never thought that her biological mother would have such absurd thoughts, and she had never expected that she would be so unbearable in her mother's eyes.

"That's enough! You've behaved inappropriately yourself, so don't think that others are as despicable as you! Who the hell is Lou Zhejie! Is he worthy of me looking at him any more? If you regard him as a treasure, that's your choice, but don't taint my eyes!"

Zou raised her hand angrily and slapped Zheng Huaiyu hard on the face: "Shut up!"

Zheng Huaiyu was beaten so hard that he stood there in a daze, covering his burning cheek, unable to recover for a moment.

Zou was also stunned after she did it. She couldn't believe that she would actually hit her daughter.

"Huai Yu, let me see if it hurts. I didn't do it on purpose. It was all caused by the nonsense you said. I can tolerate what others say about me, but you can't talk to me like this, because I am your mother..."

As she explained, she tried to check Zheng Huaiyu's cheek, but Zheng Huaiyu cleverly avoided her by turning sideways.

"Huai Yu, don't be like this, I really didn't mean to hurt you, mother..."

Zheng Huaiyu said coldly: "Mrs. Lou, you don't have to pretend anymore. Lou Zhejie insulted you, but you brought him to force Feng Hui to apologize to him. And you hit me for my two criticisms. It seems that Feng Hui and I are far less important to you than the son of your beloved."

When Zou heard the name "Mrs. Lou", her face turned pale instantly, and she defended herself with a trembling voice: "No, I..."

Zheng Huaiyu did not allow her to say more and interrupted her: "No need to explain, we both know right from wrong. As for what happened today, just pretend that I have never set foot here. From now on, you don't need to send anyone to send a letter to my Zheng family. After all, you are already Madam Lou, and you have nothing to do with my Zheng family. Since the day you remarried, the descendants of the Zheng family's first branch have lost their mother."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Huaiyu turned around and left with her maid, without any fluctuation in her expression throughout the whole process.

It was not until she stepped into the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion that her tears began to fall like pearls from a broken string.

Gu Qinlan had no intention of interfering in Zheng Huaiyu's affairs, but after listening to Zi Yan's story, she felt some sympathy for her.

Although the girl was scheming, she did not do anything evil after all.

After being abused by Zou, she resolutely drew a line with Zou and preserved the reputation of Prince Duan's Mansion. Gu Qinlan thought that if he didn't care about her anymore, she might have evil thoughts.

So, Gu Qinlan decided to go to Zheng Huaiyu's residence.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard Zheng Huaiyu's crying coming from inside the house, and her maids were anxiously pacing outside the house.

Seeing Gu Qinlan coming, the maids hurried forward to greet her.

Gu Qinlan waved her hand gently, signaling them to step aside, and then knocked on the door lightly.

"Go away and don't bother me!" Zheng Huiyi's voice came through the door.

Zi Yan quickly moved to the crack of the door and whispered, "Miss, it's the Madam, can you open the door?"

"No, go away! No one is allowed to come and laugh at my joke at this time!"

Especially Gu Qinlan, she can't see her!

Zi Yan wanted to continue knocking on the door, but was stopped by Gu Qinlan.

"If she doesn't want to see me now, don't force her. By the way, has your daughter had her meal?"

Zi Yan shook her head worriedly.

Gu Qinlan turned to Fu Yu and instructed, "Go to the kitchen and prepare a few dishes that Huaiyu likes. Keep them warm on the stove and bring them to her when she wants to eat. Also, prepare some hot water. She will definitely need a bath after running around outside all day."

She turned to Zi Yan and said, "Don't hang around here and bother her. She's upset right now, so let her vent. Once she calms down, she'll naturally return to normal."

After giving instructions to the servants, Gu Qinlan turned to face the house and said in a firm but gentle tone: "If you don't want to see me, then I will leave. However, before leaving, I must explain to you an iron principle - no matter when, the Zheng family will unswervingly protect the women in the family, whether it is your aunt or you."
