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

Gu Qinlan felt a little uneasy.

She clearly remembered that in her previous life, Lord Liu would return to the capital this winter to fulfill his duty of reporting, and Jindu would welcome a new official.

She vaguely remembered that her father and Lord Liu did not have a close personal relationship in her previous life. How come in this life, the two of them became so close?

Perhaps because the things that happened in this life did not happen in her previous life, she mistakenly believed that their personal relationship was not deep.

So Gu Qinlan said, "Uncle Jin, can you lend me a hand and help me find out about my father's current situation, especially his business."

Jin Tianming glanced at her in surprise, but didn't say much. He just nodded and agreed: "Of course it's no problem."

After seeing off Jin Tianming and his wife, Gu Qinlan picked up a book, sat on the couch in front of the window and fell into deep thought.

Her intuition told her that Madam Liu's visit today must be related to her adoptive father.

However, her father's target was not her.

But it was the Prince Duan's Mansion that she relied on.

So, who is the real master behind the Gu family?

It's the third prince!

She recalled that in her previous life, the Gu family did not persist in the third prince's team to the end, but was kicked out of the team halfway.

The reason was that the ancestor of the Gu family passed away, and her adoptive father made repeated mistakes in decision-making, which led to heavy losses for the Gu family and he was eventually squeezed out of the team.

It seems that the Gu family was able to squeeze into the third prince's team only in the past two years.

It is not easy to join the Third Prince's team. The current financial resources of the Gu family are not particularly prominent, and what can attract the Third Prince's attention is definitely not the Gu family's business.

But it’s her marriage!

As fate would have it, she married Zheng Dinglian, who held military power and was brave and good at fighting. If he chose to be loyal to the third prince, then the third prince would have another powerful trump card in his hand.

So, it seems that her adoptive father is plotting to join forces with Lord Liu, intending to use her as a token of loyalty to pave their way to power?

On the surface, Lord Liu wanted to solve the refugee problem, but in fact he had ulterior motives and just wanted to take the opportunity to lure her in. If she accidentally got involved in this matter, the outcome would be doomed to failure.

Currently, Zheng Dinglian is living in a remote area, and the only person who can save Prince Duan's Mansion is Lord Liu. More precisely, it is the Third Prince who is supported by Lord Liu.

By then, even if Zheng Dinglian is unwilling to express his position, he will have no choice.

After all, the third prince saved his entire family!

By then, everyone will believe that the Zheng family has joined the lineage of the Third Prince.

Gu Qinlan's eyes were as cold as ice.

Her mother was probably killed by her cheap father's scheme, and the Jiang family's property was also seized by the Gu family. Now he even wants to use her to pave the way for himself!

He will not be satisfied until all the blood and sweat of the Jiang family is sucked out of their bodies!

In that case, she would make him pay back for all the hard work he had done, with interest!

Gu Qinlan put down the book in his hand and said to Fu Yu, "Go and ask Polang to come over."

When Fu Yu saw her serious expression, he knew the situation was urgent and ran away quickly.

Soon, Polang was led into the reception room.

"What are your orders, madam?"

Polang asked casually.

Gu Qinlan asked calmly: "How do you charge for the tasks you take over on a daily basis?"

Polang raised his eyebrows: "The starting price for taking someone's life is five hundred taels. If it's just arson, it's cheaper, only two hundred taels. Madam, do you want to take someone's life, or do you intend to set a fire?"

It's night, the moonlight is hazy.

Gu Dingli was hugging his concubine, indulging in the tenderness of her love, when a sudden and urgent knock on the door woke him up from his dream like a thunderclap.

"Who!"

Gu Dingli was furious, and his beautiful concubine sat up in a daze and gently stroked his chest, as if to comfort him, which made Gu Dingli feel extremely comfortable.

Outside the door, the housekeeper's anxious voice came: "Master, it's bad! Several of our warehouses are on fire!"

"Oops!"

Gu Dingli woke up instantly, pushed away his concubine who was still caressing him, jumped off the bed anxiously, and rushed out of the door in his underwear without even bothering to put on his shoes, and opened the door hastily.

"What did you just mention?"

The butler frowned, his voice trembling slightly, "Sir, several granaries in our city have caught fire at the same time."

Gu Dingli quickly pushed him away and walked anxiously towards the garden in the center of the Gu Mansion.

In the garden, there is a towering rockery, which is high enough to overlook most of the scenery in Jindu.

Gu Dingli was only forty-two years old, but he was still very agile and climbed to the top of the rockery in no time.

He stared at one of the granaries with sharp eyes, and saw flames rising to the sky and burning fiercely. He turned and looked at another granary, and the situation was exactly the same.

"What on earth is going on? How could a fire suddenly break out?"

The butler was also confused; he just got the news slightly earlier than Gu Dingli.

Gu Dingli was anxious and his vision was dizzy. The grains stored in these granaries were the grains that he had purchased at great expense. He had intended to present them as gifts to the third prince to show his sincerity.

Now it has vanished.

Although the value of these grains is not enough to cause a fatal blow to the Gu family, his plans have been affected.

"Quick, prepare the car, I'll go to the granary immediately!"

The housekeeper took a pair of shoes from the concubine and handed them to her, saying, "Sir, put on your shoes first to avoid rubbing your feet."

Gu Dingli casually put on his shoes, not bothering to check whether they were appropriately dressed, and hurried down the mountain.

It was late at night and the rockery was dimly lit. In addition, there were dense flowers and trees. Gu Dingli's shoes were not put on properly and his steps were hurried. As a result, he was not careful and was tripped by his shoelaces. His body instantly lost balance and fell forward.

Gu Dingli was really unlucky. When he fell, his head hit a stone on the side of the road and he died instantly.

The housekeeper was terrified and shouted for help at the top of his lungs: "Sir! Someone come quickly! My lord is injured, please call a doctor..."

The entire Gu Mansion fell into chaos.

When Gu Qinlan received the news, the sky was gradually turning white.

"Madam, someone from the Gu Mansion informed us that my relative was unfortunately seriously injured last night and is in critical condition. Please go there as soon as possible."

Gu Qinlan was shocked. This completely disrupted her plans.

However, apart from being surprised, she did not show much reaction.

Therefore, she immediately changed her clothes and hurried back to Gu Mansion with several maids.

When we arrived at Gu's house, a faint dawn light had already appeared on the horizon.

The lights in Gu's mansion were as bright as day, and the servants all looked nervous, as if everyone was caught in a whirlpool of busyness, but like flies that had lost their direction, lost in the chaotic pace, and at a loss.

Gu Qinlan knew very well why they were so panicked.

Song was a person who liked to exaggerate. Whenever a major incident occurred in the mansion, the idle servants and old women would be severely punished once the situation calmed down. Therefore, the servants of the Gu Mansion became more and more flustered when they encountered major changes.
