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

She thought this idiot had suddenly become smart, but she didn't expect that he still overestimated her. Just a few words completely dispelled her doubts.

Gu Qinlan turned around and told Hongye: "Tell that nanny to pay more attention. Gu Qinlian might be up to something again."

After nine busy days, Gu Dingli's funeral finally came to an end.

During the first five days of long vigil and mourning, Gu Qinlan was exhausted physically and mentally, grief and fatigue intertwined. As the deceased's coffin was slowly moved out, the funeral music was played, and the farewell ceremony was solemn and heavy. On the sixth day, with the last wisp of incense, she entered the next four days of busy work - piling up the grave, thanking guests, and many other tedious matters.

After all this was settled, Gu Qinlan's face had become thinner. Her already delicate little face now looked smaller than the size of a hand, as if it could disappear in a single stroke.

After the funeral, she had time to return to Prince Duan's Mansion. The moment she stepped into the mansion, Gu Qinlan suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of peace and tranquility.

This change in emotion made her freeze in place.

Since when did she develop such deep feelings for Prince Duan's Mansion?

She had never experienced such a feeling in the Gu family, or even in the Ji family in her previous life. In the Gu family, she had to make a living under the shadow of the Song family every day. Although it was not difficult, she was also very cautious, fearing that she would fall into the trap of the Song family if she was not careful.

The more than ten years she spent in the Ji family were even more unbearable. She had almost no free time. Even though she was still ill, she had to support herself and take care of all the affairs. If she was not careful, she would be blamed by the Ji family.

In her previous life, she led a busy and humble life.

Therefore, in this life, she was determined to live according to her own wishes. In her original plan, Prince Duan's Mansion was just a temporary haven, and she was ready to set sail and leave at any time.

However, what was unexpected was that she developed such a deep affection for Prince Duan's Mansion in such a short period of time.

As she stepped into the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion, she suddenly felt her whole body relax, and a voice in her heart whispered softly: I'm finally home, I can relax, it's so comfortable.

She actually regarded Prince Duan's Mansion as her own home!

Home is a haven where people can completely relax without any need for defense.

Gu Qinlan's heart was filled with excitement, and at the same time, a hint of joy.

She likes this feeling, having a place where she can rest safely after being exhausted!

When she returned to her courtyard, the servants and boys in the courtyard came forward and saluted: "Greetings, Crown Princess. Welcome back to the mansion."

Xiao Man said with a smile, "After learning that the Crown Princess would be returning today, Miss Da and Miss Huai Yu ordered the servants to prepare delicious food and hot water early in the morning. Does the Crown Princess plan to eat first or take a bath first?"

In the Western Wei Dynasty, filial piety was paramount, and when an elder in the family passed away, the descendants were not allowed to wash or eat meat during the mourning period.

The more prominent the family, the more strictly they enforce the rules in this regard, for fear of being caught and accused of being unfilial and losing their dignity.

Although the Gu family was a merchant family, the etiquette was relaxed and not too strict. However, even in such a family background, Gu Qinlan still had to abide by basic etiquette. She could only simply clean her mouth with water, wipe her face, and comb her hair to avoid losing etiquette in front of the predecessors.

Apart from that, she couldn't do anything more. After all, Gu Qinlan was now the wife of the Crown Prince. Not only would outsiders scrutinize her closely, but even the Song family mother and daughter would always keep an eye on her actions, hoping to find her faults.

So, during these ten days, Gu Qinlan seemed to be trapped in a small space, being tortured by the gazes from all around.

Fortunately, the cold wind is rising and the weather is getting colder, which makes her feel a little better.

"Go take a shower first."

Xiaoman immediately instructed the maids to prepare hot water.

Not long after, Gu Qinlan was immersed in the large bathtub, and Xiaoman and Mangzhong carefully washed her hair and scrubbed her body.

Fu Yu and Hong Ye, who had been busy accompanying her in the Gu Mansion for ten days, finally returned to their respective residences to pack up.

After everything was arranged, the delicacies on the table were served one after another.

In order to respect Gu Qinlan's custom of mourning, the dishes prepared were light and exquisite, and every bite could taste the unique flavor of Aunt Liang's cooking.

Mangzhong picked up some food for Gu Qinlan and said with a smile, "My aunt said that Madam must not have had a good rest these days, so she and the eldest girl won't disturb her, lest they start talking nonstop as soon as they see her. Let Madam eat her fill first and have a good rest. Any important matters can wait until Madam wakes up before discussing them."

Gu Qinlan felt suddenly warm and comfortable in her heart, and even ate half a bowl more than usual.

After a hearty meal, the maids helped her blow dry her hair, and after letting it air dry for a while, they urged her to rest.

As soon as his head touched the pillow, Gu Qinlan fell into a deep sleep, unaware of anything.

At the same time, in sharp contrast to Gu Qinlan's tranquility and leisure, the situation at Gu Qinlian's place was noisy and extremely chaotic.

Gu Qinlian, who also observed ten days of mourning at the Gu family, left in a hurry after Gu Dingli's funeral, claiming that she was going home to study.

As a son-in-law, he did not follow too many formalities when it came to mourning, and there was nothing wrong with Gu's family.

Gu Qinlian was worried about him going home alone, fearing that he would get involved with Fuling, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Finally, when the funeral was over, she returned to the Ji family in a hurry, but she didn't expect to see Ji Yinli and Fuling flirting with each other in the study, like a pair of dry wood and fire about to ignite.

In the moment of rage, Gu Qinlian's face flushed with anger. She stormed into the study room, swung her arm, and slapped Fuling on the cheek with a loud slap: "You low-behavior thing! Do you have to have a fever to spend a peaceful day? My husband is about to enter the examination room, and you dare to delay his studies so boldly! I must teach you a lesson!"

Fuling was a scheming person to begin with. After being slapped, she immediately fell to her knees and cried, "Madam, I didn't disturb my husband from studying. I just came here to bring him some food. This was specially instructed by the old lady."

"You still dare to deny it! Do you think I'm blind?"

The anger on Gu Qinlian's face was like a burning flame, and her eyes revealed a fierce look.

Fuling looked at Ji Yinli eagerly, hoping that he could speak for her and help her out.

However, Ji Yinli turned his head away, looking indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Fuling's heart suddenly felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, and it felt icy cold.

Seeing that Fuling dared to "have the goods" Ji Yinli so boldly in front of her, Gu Qinlian became even more furious and waved her hand to hit Fuling on the cheek again.

The slap was so powerful that Fuling fell to the ground.

However, Gu Qinlian was still not satisfied and even planned to ride on Fuling and continue beating her.
