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

Ji Yinli's face kept changing, sometimes blue, sometimes pale.

Gu Qinlian sneered sarcastically: "Put away your hypocrisy! I know exactly what kind of person you are. Don't pretend to be nice here and try to use me to wash away your bad name! Since you have done such a dirty thing, don't even think about building a memorial archway!"

Ji Yinli's sore spot was hit, and his expression changed like a revolving lantern, changing every moment.

Gu Qinlian felt more and more annoyed and called her maid to go to Gu's house together.

Ji Yinli looked back at the Ji family, then at Gu Qinlian, and finally gritted his teeth and followed her.

The Ji family’s decline was in full view.

Several women around Mrs. Ji were beaten by the angry people, and the men took the opportunity to climb over the wall and escape. Fortunately, the people did not attack the children, but the children were still scared out of their wits, and the children of the eldest room of the Ji family were so frightened that they were incoherent and kept crying.

"Madame Zhang said that Madam Ji's injuries were quite serious and she was already coughing up blood."

"The faces of the first and second wives were swollen from being beaten."

Gu Qinlan chuckled when she heard this, her voice full of sarcasm.

Unexpectedly, the Ji family was even worse than she expected.

She secretly wondered whether Gu Qinlian and Ji Yinli could survive the next test of the autumn examination. It was really an unknown.

At dawn the next day, Hongye brought shocking news.

Madam Ji passed away.

Gu Qinlan was a little surprised, but it seemed to be within her expectations.

After all, Gu Qinlian had secretly poisoned Madam Ji before, and was severely beaten yesterday. She was shocked, angry, and panicked. Under these multiple blows, such an outcome was not surprising.

Gu Qinlan ordered calmly: "Try to let Ji Yinli know the secret in Madam Ji's quilt."

Hongye nodded and agreed: "I will ask Aunt Zhang to handle it, but I can't guarantee when it will be completed."

After all, the Ji family was in chaos and people within the family were in panic, so it was not easy to find a suitable opportunity.

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly: "Let her do her best. In any case, she must expose this matter to Ji Yinli so that Gu Qinlian cannot escape suspicion."

She was full of anticipation, wanting to see the fierce scene of a life-and-death fight between Gu Qinlian and Ji Yinli.

"Prepare some funeral gifts. My sister's mother-in-law has unfortunately passed away. As her elder sister, I should go and pay my respects."

Madam Ji's funeral was very shabby.

After all, the Ji family had already declined, and the several sons in the family had not made any progress. In addition, the current situation was difficult, and the friendship with the Ji family in the past was now difficult to maintain, and those who wanted to come to mourn were unable to do so.

As for the prominent families in Jindu, they were all good at changing their stance according to the situation. After learning that the Ji family had lost the support of the people, they only sent their own stewards and were reluctant to send even the official housekeepers.

Even the Gu family only sent a housekeeper, and Song, as the real mother-in-law, was absent due to illness.

The people of the Ji family were angry and helpless, and dared not speak out.

Therefore, when Gu Qinlan appeared in the Ji family's mourning hall, everyone in the Ji family was shocked.

"Mrs. Zheng?"

Gu Qinlan, dressed in plain clothes, walked to the front of the mourning hall, staring at the spirit tablet, and couldn't help feeling a sense of pleasure in her heart.

Madam Ji, in my last life, I died, but you lived safely. I didn't expect that you would leave so early in this life.

It was a worthy death!

There was even a hint of a hideous smile at the corner of Gu Qinlan's mouth.

Seeing the Ji family members standing there in a daze, Gu Qinlan asked in confusion: "What? Didn't you prepare incense?"

According to custom, everyone who comes to pay their respects needs to burn incense to the deceased.

This incense should be lit by a filial son and then passed to the person offering the incense.

However, the Ji family did not react at all.

Madam Ji asked gloomily, "Madam Zheng, what are you doing here? Are you here to see my Ji family laugh at you? If it weren't for you, how could my mother-in-law have suffered such misfortune? You still have the nerve to come here! Go away, my mother-in-law doesn't want to see you!"

Gu Qinlan smiled contemptuously: "Madam Ji, you are wrong. You insisted on borrowing grain that day without caring about the lives of the people in the city. I just sent people to coordinate, hoping that they would be flexible and lend you the grain. Everything that happened afterwards has nothing to do with me. Besides, your family is safe and sound, only Madam Ji died unfortunately, especially the three men in your Ji family, who were not hurt at all. You failed to protect Madam Ji, but blamed me, an outsider, which is really ridiculous."

These words made the men of the Ji family feel ashamed and embarrassed.

However, the eldest son of the Ji family lit the incense respectfully and handed it to Gu Qinlan solemnly.

Gu Qinlan took the incense and bowed deeply to the spirit tablet of Old Lady Ji, thinking to herself: Old Lady Ji, please wait a little longer and wait for your filial sons and daughters-in-law. They will soon come to the underworld to reunite with you.

The moment she gently inserted the incense stick into the incense burner, a faint fragrance filled the air.

Several young masters of the Ji family and their daughters-in-law knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Qinlan to express their gratitude.

Gu Qinlan accepted their respect, then turned to Gu Qinlian and said, "Qinlian, this is my first time in your home, can you walk around with me?"

Gu Qinlian was unwilling in her heart.

However, Ji Yinli kept pushing her from behind.

Helplessly, Gu Qinlian had to reluctantly get up and walked out with an unhappy face.

After stepping out of the yard, Gu Qinlian turned around abruptly and glared at Gu Qinlan: "What is your purpose in coming here? You don't want to go to any of the wealthy and prestigious families in Jindu, but you choose to come to our house. What is your intention?"

Gu Qinlan smiled and replied, "Of course, I came here to enjoy your laughter. My dear sister, I heard that you've been having a hard time recently. As your elder sister, how can I not care about you?"

Gu Qinlian's face turned pale: "If you want to see me make a fool of myself, you'll have to wait until the next life! You should just take care of your own business first."

She recalled that it was during this period that Zheng Dinglian almost died on the battlefield and returned home covered in wounds.

Gu Qinlan didn't care: "I have nothing to worry about. If the general returns safely, we will spend a wonderful time together; if he dies, I will stay in Prince Duan's mansion. At worst, I can still live independently with my generous dowry. In any case, my life will be better than yours."

Every word of these words hits the nail on the head.

Gu Qinlian became so angry that her expression became even uglier.

But she thought about what she had done before and her mood calmed down a little.

Now that the evil mother-in-law is gone, as long as she can survive the difficult time of the refugee siege, she can be reborn.

But Gu Qinlan's situation was completely different.

After Zheng Dinglian was injured, his temperament changed drastically, like a madman. By then, Gu Qinlan would definitely be tortured, unable to live or die!

She secretly waited for Gu Qinlan's tragic ending.

Gu Qinlian felt relieved: "If you are really fine, then go back to your Prince Duan's Mansion. Our Ji family is small and it is inconvenient to receive you."
