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

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but whet her appetite as soon as she smelled the familiar and tempting aroma. She quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat.

Seeing that she was eating with such relish, Liang's eyes were filled with smiles and her pupils narrowed into slits.

After enjoying a bowl of medicinal food, Gu Qinlan pulled Liang up and started chatting about family matters.

Liang was a naturally talkative person with a humorous and witty manner of speaking. She told all kinds of anecdotes about her time in Lingnan, which fascinated the maids in the house.

Just as the two were chatting excitedly, the nanny from Princess Duan's courtyard walked in.

"Madam, Madam, the old lady learned that Madam was coming and wanted to invite Madam to come over for a chat."

Liang has not yet had the opportunity to meet Princess Duan.

According to common sense, as Gu Qinlan's uncle's family, the Duan Palace should have visited the Jiang family in person. However, the Jiang family's status is now very different from that of the Duan Palace, so it is reasonable for the Duan Princess to send someone to invite the Liang family.

Gu Qinlan said, "Please tell my mother that my aunt and I will go there later."

After the maid who delivered the message left, Liang said softly, "I came too hastily and didn't prepare any gifts. Will your mother-in-law blame you for this?"

Gu Qinlan comforted her, "Don't worry, my aunt is getting along with people of her age, so she doesn't need to be overly concerned about these trivial matters. If she really wants to be picky, we don't need to back down, we can give her a taste of her own medicine."

Liang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "Your character really is inherited from your uncle. If your mother had a character like you, maybe she wouldn't have..."

When mentioning the woman who died young, Liang's eyes couldn't help but dim.

Gu Qinlan took the opportunity to ask, "Aunt, what kind of person is my mother?"

Liang was immersed in memories: "She was an extremely gentle and soft woman, not good at fighting with others. When the Gu family proposed marriage, your uncle firmly opposed it. Your mother's gentle character was easily hurt, and the Gu family's business was in great trouble at that time. But your grandfather was stubborn and insisted on letting your mother marry into the Gu family."

"After some discussion, your uncle and I made careful plans and gave almost all our family savings as her dowry, hoping that this generous dowry would help the Gu family to revitalize itself. We held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that the Gu family would treat your mother well in the future because of this deep affection, but unexpectedly..."

Gu Qinlan waved her hand to signal the maids in the room to leave, then turned to ask Liang: "Mother, can we still find one or two of the servants who accompanied mother back then?"

Liang frowned and responded doubtfully: "I'm afraid it's not easy. What do you mean?"

Gu Qinlan's face was solemn, and she said bluntly: "Aunt, I have an ominous guess in my heart. Mother's death may not be accidental."

Liang was so shocked that the teacup in her hand trembled slightly. She asked anxiously, "Where did you get this from?"

Gu Qinlan said calmly: "I have found some clues. Ever since the Jiang family encountered misfortune, the Gu family has taken over the Jiang family's business and connections."

Liang's face turned pale as paper: "Qin Lan, are you telling the truth?"

Gu Qinlan nodded firmly: "It's absolutely true. Aunt, I suspect that since my mother was proposed to, and then the decline and exile of the Jiang family, all of this was a conspiracy carefully planned by the Gu family. However, I don't have any solid evidence yet."

Liang couldn't help but tremble. If Gu Qinlan's speculation was correct, then the truth would be so horrifying.

Back then, they gave up everything they had to marry Jiang into the Gu family to help them turn their fortunes around. Unexpectedly, the Gu family turned against them and not only killed Jiang, but also destroyed the entire Jiang family!

Gu Qinlan held her hand tightly and comforted her: "Aunt, you don't have to be too excited. I have begun to investigate this matter. Although many clues have been difficult to find over the years, there will always be traces that have been missed."

Liang's heart was filled with unbearable pressure: "Qin Lan, if what you said comes true, how are you going to deal with it?"

Although the Gu family is not a good family, they are Gu Qinlan's roots after all.

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed coldly: "They should pay for their blood debt with blood."

Her feelings for the Gu family had long been worn out by the sufferings of her previous life. At the last moment of her life, she learned that her mother's death was probably related to her father and the Song family.

Just as Gu Qinlian and Ji Yinli teamed up to harm her!

Therefore, the Gu family had two blood feuds against her! Her uncle's family was also implicated.

She never had the chance to settle this account in her previous life, and she will never let it go easily in this life.

"Aunt, please go back and tell uncle to be careful on the way. I will ask Polang to help me find out the truth of that year."

Time flies, and the past has disappeared with time. It is undoubtedly a daunting task to trace back and explore it on your own.

However, Polang is different. She has the Golden Sword Sect as her solid backing. For her, exploring old stories, even secrets spanning a hundred years, is not a problem.

Liang looked solemn and nodded seriously to show his agreement.

After adjusting their mood, the two stepped into Princess Duan's courtyard.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, Princess Duan greeted me warmly, her voice full of joy: "Cousin, please come in, tea will be served in the house."

Liang originally thought that Princess Duan would be arrogant, but she did not expect her to be so amiable.

Liang smiled and bowed to Princess Duan, saying, "Greetings, old lady. I came here too hastily today. If I am impolite, I hope you will forgive me."

Princess Duan smiled and said kindly, "We are all family, there is no need to stick to those empty formalities. Come, let's go inside."

After sitting down, Princess Duan pulled Liang to stand up, and they talked about everything from the customs and habits of Xiangyang to the anecdotes of Lingnan.

At first, Liang thought that Princess Duan wanted to find out some information from her, but after a conversation, she was convinced that Princess Duan was just lonely for a long time and longed to find a confidant of the same age to chat about family matters.

Although Princess Duan married into a wealthy family, she was born in a humble family and was neglected in the Prince Duan's mansion. She also had difficulty integrating into the circle of wives of officials in Jindu City. Over the years, she didn't even have anyone to confide in.

When she learned of Liang's arrival, she had an idea. On the one hand, it was because Liang had traveled all over the world and was knowledgeable. On the other hand, Liang's status was not as high as hers, so there was no pressure in getting along with him, and she was not afraid of being ridiculed for inappropriate words.

Gu Qinlan understood Princess Duan's intentions, so she left Liang in her courtyard without worry, and went to deal with other important matters.

After returning to his residence, Gu Qinlan immediately sent someone to summon Polang.

"Polang, let me make a deal with you."

After Polang sat down, Gu Qinlan went straight to the point and stated the purpose of his visit.

Polang leaned against the table, holding her cheek with her hand, and smiled charmingly: "Madam, you are too modest. The master asked us to assist you, and you can ask me to do anything."

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but be attracted by Polang's charm. Although she had known Polang for many days, she was still conquered by Polang's stunning beauty and charming charm.
