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

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan asked gently, "Are you troubled by your mother's matter?"

Zheng Huaiyu bit her lip gently and nodded: "I am obviously resentful of her injustice back then, but at the same time I feel bad. If she hadn't remarried, how could our family end up like this?"

Gu Qinlan calmly analyzed: "However, if she had not remarried, she might be full of resentment now, feeling that her life was dragged down by you. The purpose of her trip was not because she regretted remarrying, but because she hoped that the Zheng family could support her and let her live a stable life in the Lou family."

"If she lives happily in the Lou family, she will never think of the Zheng family. Instead, she will be eager to draw a clear line with the Zheng family and show her loyalty and devotion to Lou Yongwei."

Her words were like sharp swords, piercing people's hearts without mercy.

After hearing this, Zheng Huaiyu felt even more heavy-hearted.

Gu Qinlan smiled and continued, "So, what are you hesitating about? What's the point of torturing yourself for someone who no longer cares about you?"

"Everything she is going through now is her own choice. She can't blame others."

"I bet that if the Zheng family intervened to help her today, she might be temporarily grateful. However, whenever Lou Yongwei tried to please her, she would immediately blame the Zheng family for being too harsh and causing harm to her husband."

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with contempt, and her tone revealed undisguised disdain: "Although she is your mother, I still can't help but speak frankly. Her personality is really despicable. She is only interested in self-interest, lacks a sense of responsibility, and has absolutely no foresight."

"From the current situation, it is a blessing for you two siblings that she has changed her ways."

Zheng Huaiyu looked at her in astonishment: "Lucky news? Don't you know how much we, my sister and I, have been ridiculed and mocked in front of everyone just because she remarried?"

Gu Qinlan responded nonchalantly: "What does that matter? What other people say is their business. Who can control it? Even if she didn't remarry, those who want to ridicule you can't find other excuses to say it?"

"I think this is a good thing because a mother like that can't bring you any real help, but may become a stumbling block to your progress. Think about it carefully. If you become like her in the future, can you tolerate yourself becoming that kind of person?"

Zheng Huaiyu imagined in his mind, what if he became like Zou in the future...

She couldn't help but shudder and quickly shook her head to deny: "I don't want to become a person like her!"

Gu Qinlan smiled indifferently: "Since ancient times, women have had a harder time than men in the world. It is not wrong to want to change your fate through marriage. However, if you blindly place your hopes on men, you will end up like your mother."

"Men in this world are often heartless. If women do not seek to be independent and strong, they will inevitably be abandoned in the end."

Zheng Huaiyu bit his lip lightly, and the expression on his face seemed as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to open his mouth.

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, as if he saw through her thoughts: "Are you trying to say that the reason I am where I am today is because I changed my fate through marriage?"

Zheng Huaiyu smiled awkwardly, afraid of angering Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan didn't care: "From the perspective of the world, my marriage to Prince Duan's Mansion can indeed be regarded as an example of turning one's life around through marriage. But do you think I'm the kind of person who needs to rely on men to survive? Do you think I can't survive without Prince Duan's Mansion and Prince Zheng?"

Zheng Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head decisively: "You don't need to rely on Prince Duan's Mansion."

She suddenly realized why Gu Qinlan, the daughter of a merchant, could remain so tenacious and proud after marrying into Prince Duan's Mansion, without any sense of humility due to her dependence on the powerful.

The reason is simple: she has never placed her hopes on Prince Duan's Mansion.

She has enough confidence and strength. Even without the protection of Prince Duan's Mansion, she can still live freely and comfortably, or even more freely and comfortably.

Because she has a clear understanding of the current situation of Prince Duan's Mansion.

To Gu Qinlan, Prince Duan's Mansion was like a heavy burden and a trouble that was difficult to get rid of.

Gu Qinlan smiled, with a resolute look in her eyes: "Therefore, women should always have their own confidence and self-confidence. In this way, even if our husbands cannot be relied upon in the future, we can still stand firm in this world."

"You must remember that you should never pin your hopes on others. The only one who can save you is yourself. If you rely on others, they may leave; if you rely on the mountains, the mountains may collapse. Only yourself is the most solid and reliable pillar."

Zheng Huaiyu was stunned and asked in confusion: "Is this really the truth?"

This is completely different from the education she received since childhood.

As she was growing up, people around her always told her that when she grew up she should find the most outstanding man, regard her husband as her heaven, support him and raise their children. Once her husband achieved great success, she would also become noble.

However, Gu Qinlan now told her to rely on herself.

Zheng Huaiyu felt that what Gu Qinlan said made sense, but at the same time he lacked confidence in his own abilities.

Gu Qinlan stood up, staring at the sky with a sharp gaze: "Throughout the ages, countless men have been unreliable. Women should have ambitions like Mulan. Instead of supporting others to reach the top, it is better to earn a fortune yourself!"

Her voice was not loud, but Zheng Huaiyu felt like it was thunder exploding, and his heart was deeply shocked.

At this moment, her faith sprouted like a spring bud.

"Mother, I long to learn real skills from you."

This was the first time Zheng Yu sincerely called Gu Qinlan mother.

Gu Qinlan turned around and gave her a warm smile: "Want to learn skills from me? It's not impossible, but you must pass my test. After all, if you are not strong-willed and lack strength, you will only waste my time."

Zheng Huaiyu's eyes sparkled: "How will mother test me? I firmly believe that I can meet the standard!"

Gu Qinlan said slowly: "First, you have to meet Aunt Zhang's strict standards within two months. You know how strict Aunt Zhang is. If you can meet the standards in such a short time, it will be enough to prove your determination."

Zheng Huaiyu nodded resolutely, his eyes firm: "Absolutely no problem! Then what about the second task?"

Gu Qinlan spoke slowly, with a hint of seriousness in her tone: "In the next six months, you must be proficient in the art of housekeeping and be proficient in household management. If you want to truly master a skill, you must have the ability to coordinate the overall situation, and managing the inner house is the best way to exercise this ability."
