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

Old Madam Ji was so angry that she turned around and slapped her aunt hard, making her eyes tearful and looking pitiful.

After waving her hand, Madam Ji turned back to Gu Qinlian and said with a smile, "Qinlian, my dear daughter-in-law, I think your wooden basin is quite spacious. Why don't you let me join in the fun and squeeze in?"

Gu Qinlian originally did not intend to agree, but after a moment of thought, she changed her mind: "It's not impossible, but mother has to agree to one condition of mine first."

Madam Ji couldn't wait to say, "Of course, go ahead."

Gu Qinlian pointed her finger at the concubine and said firmly, "Sell this bad woman to a faraway place and make sure she never shows up again."

Before Madam Ji could speak, Ji Yinli suddenly rushed out of her room and angrily scolded Gu Qinlian face to face: "You vicious woman! You have persecuted Su Xin so cruelly, and you still don't intend to give up! Aren't you afraid that I will abandon you?"

Gu Qinlian had never expected Ji Yinli to be in Old Madam Ji's room. Her face immediately turned pale. "Husband, I... I was just playing a little joke on my mother."

However, Ji Yinli obviously did not trust her explanation and just stared at her coldly: "Since it is a joke, then let mother give the basin and let her leave first."

Gu Qinlian was very reluctant, but facing Ji Yinli's majesty, she did not dare to resist at all, and finally gave up the wooden basin reluctantly.

Madam Ji was obviously a person who was good at manipulating others. Not only did she climb onto the wooden basin herself, she also called Su Xin up and signaled Gu Qinlian's maid to push the wooden basin to move.

After Su Xin sat on the wooden basin, she gave Gu Qinlian a provocative smile, which made Gu Qinlian clench her teeth and her heart was filled with anger.

However, just as Madam Ji sat on the wooden tub and took a few steps, she was stopped by the people from the first and second wives: "Mother, please take your grandchildren with you. The water is getting stronger and stronger. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave soon."

However, there was no extra space in the wooden basin at this moment.

Su Xin immediately showed her wit and said, "Mother, I will go down and let the children come up."

Madam Ji agreed to her proposal.

Su Xin stood up from the wooden basin and immersed herself in the cold river water. She hoped in her heart that since she was so sensible, the old lady would love her more in the future.

However, before this thought disappeared, he saw Madam Ji suddenly lean back and eventually fall into the water with the basin.

It turned out that the basin lost its balance as soon as she stepped into it. Gu Qinlian's maids had never had a good impression of the Ji family, and now they pretended not to notice. So Madam Ji fell into the water in full view of everyone.

Suddenly, there were exclamations everywhere.

Some people went to rescue the people, while others went to support the wooden basin.

After being rescued to the shore, Madam Ji wiped the dirty water off her face and immediately slapped Su Xin in the face: "You vicious woman, do you want me to die in the water?"

Su Xin was slapped in the face and tears welled up in her eyes. She covered her slapped cheek and made excuses in a low voice.

However, Old Madam Ji was not willing to listen to her explanation and once again ordered the maids to help her into the wooden basin. The children from the first and second wives were also sent up.

The maids escorted Madam Ji and her descendants to evacuate slowly.

Ji Yinli's face was as cold as ice, his eyes were as sharp as swords, and he shouted at Gu Qinlian in a cold tone: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and follow us, otherwise you might be buried here when the flood comes!"

Gu Qinlian felt resistance. The turbid muddy water was like porridge. Who knew what kind of filthy things were hidden in it.

She hoped that the maids would come back to rescue her.

However, Ji Yinli's words ruthlessly shattered her fantasy: "If you insist on not leaving, then stay here alone."

Gu Qinlian knew very well that she could not stay alone. If the flood came, she would be alone and there would be no one to cry out to.

She gritted her teeth and waded forward, looking at the figure of Old Madam Ji sitting on the wooden basin from afar, her heart filled with endless resentment.

At the same time, her heart was full of doubts. Why was the rain so heavy in this life?

In the previous life, Jindu also had rainfall, but it was not as severe as this. Although there was flooding in the east of the city, it did not cause serious impact, at least the Ji family was not forced to relocate.

Now that Jindu is experiencing such heavy rainfall, wouldn't the rainfall in places that are already vulnerable to disasters be even greater? Wouldn't the disaster be even more serious?

This way, her business will surely make more profit!

Gu Qinlian's mood brightened instantly.

She thought that once the deal was done, she would immediately find a way to buy a bigger house and then try to coax Ji Yinli to move out with her.

However, the stubborn old lady Ji would definitely not agree. After all, the Ji family was still counting on her generous dowry to make up for the deficit.

How could her money be given to those insignificant people?

However, if the family is not divided, this problem is indeed tricky.

And how easy is it to split up the family, unless...

Gu Qinlian raised her head and glanced at Old Madam Ji, a hint of coldness and cruelty flashing in her eyes.

Prince Duan's Mansion.

"Madam, the flood in the east of the city is severe. Many houses have collapsed. It is said that some people are buried under the rubble. The situation is very tragic."

The servants in the mansion were reporting the information they had obtained to Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Send all the servants in the mansion to the east of the city to assist the people in evacuating."

"Hongye, go to my several shops in the city and ask them to clean up and empty the shops. They can be used as shelters temporarily to accommodate the people who have been relocated."

"Butler Jiang, go to each inn and negotiate with the owners to see if you can rent all the empty rooms at the most favorable price to accommodate the people affected by the disaster."

Hongye and Jiang Ye moved as soon as they heard the order and left quickly. Many servants of Prince Duan's Mansion also responded and set out on the journey to the east of the city in the rain.

Liang quietly stayed beside Gu Qinlan, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, and couldn't help sighing: "Who would have thought that the rain would be so heavy? I was really worried about whether your uncle and his family would encounter such bad weather on the way. Fortunately, you made preparations in advance and brought our whole family here in advance, otherwise they would probably be struggling in the water now."

During the sudden rainstorm yesterday, Gu Qinlan had a premonition that the east of the city might suffer a flood, so he sent people to pick up the Liang family early and arranged for them to live in the mansion.

She lived in the east of the city in her previous life and was familiar with the geographical environment there.

Although the rain in the previous life was not as severe as this time, the area where the Ji family lived was still not spared. At that time, she discovered the danger in time, prepared a large number of sandbags in advance, blocked all the places where water might enter, and personally led the maids to continuously drain the accumulated water outside the courtyard, which saved the Ji family from disaster.

In this life, the rain is even more fierce. Who among the Ji family can take on the heavy responsibility? Gu Qinlian also lacks consideration. I am afraid that the Ji family is struggling in the water at this moment.

It was not until night fell that Jiang Ye and Hong Ye rushed back to the palace, all wet. Gu Qinlan hurriedly asked them to change their soaked clothes, and sent someone to bring them hot soup, asking them to drink a big bowl each before listening to their report.
