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

Princess Duan gently patted her daughter's shoulder and motioned Zheng Huiyi to sit down. She sat on the stone bench, picked up a cup of tea, and slowly spoke.

"Huiyi, I know you feel unfair. But Gu Qinlan's performance during this period has made me see her good side. Moreover, she has formed a good relationship with your eldest brother and has become your sister-in-law. It is reasonable for you to call her sister-in-law and live in harmony with her."

Zheng Huiyi widened her eyes and looked at her mother in disbelief: "Mom, how can this be possible? Were you deceived by her words?"

Princess Duan sighed, her eyes revealing endless love: "Huiyi, I know you are angry. But you have to understand that in life, there will always be some setbacks. We must learn to be tolerant and give others a chance to correct their mistakes. Besides, Gu Qinlan is now your sister-in-law, we must respect her."

Zheng Huiyi lowered her head and remained silent.

"By the way, mother, why isn't Nanny Gui by your side to serve you?" Zheng Huiyi was puzzled when she saw Princess Duan alone in the yard and did not see Nanny Gui.

As soon as Zheng Huiyi finished speaking, Princess Duan frowned slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She slowly raised her head, stared at Zheng Huiyi, and said in a calm and deep tone: "Huiyi, don't you know yet? Nanny Gui has been driven out of the mansion."

Zheng Huiyi turned pale when she heard this. She looked at her mother in disbelief, "Mom, is this true? What did Aunt Gui do wrong to be kicked out of the house?"

Princess Duan sighed softly, her face looking a little tired. "What happened is that Nanny Gui took the initiative and acted beyond the rules, and was discovered by her daughter-in-law Gu Qinlan. Gu Qinlan was furious and beat Nanny Gui with dozens of sticks and expelled her from the Prince Duan's mansion."

Zheng Huiyi's face became paler and paler. She bit her lip, her eyes flashing with anger. "Mother, how can this be! Aunt Gui has served you in the mansion for many years. Even if she was wrong, she should not be treated like this. Gu Qinlan is too much. How can she be so disrespectful to you!"

Princess Duan shook her head slightly, with a firm look in her eyes: "Huiyi, you don't understand yet. Nanny Gui did say something she shouldn't have said. She didn't respect me, that's a fact. Although Gu Qinlan dealt with it too harshly, her original intention was to protect my dignity."

Zheng Huiyi clenched her fists tightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mother, what about you? Are you going to let her treat Aunt Gui like this? Aunt Gui is my brother and my wet nurse. She grew up with you, and you just watch her get kicked out like this?"

Princess Duan's expression became more and more solemn. She looked at her daughter and said firmly, "Huiyi, I know you care about Nanny Gui, and I understand your feelings for her. But in this mansion, there is a hierarchy that cannot be crossed. Since Nanny Gui made a mistake, she must be punished. Moreover, Gu Qinlan is my daughter-in-law, and she is also trying to protect my dignity. As her mother-in-law, I cannot get angry with her just because she punished Nanny Gui."

After hearing what her mother said, Zheng Huiyi felt even more unbalanced. She widened her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks: "Mom, what about me? I am your daughter, don't I have the right to plead for Aunt Gui?"

Princess Duan's eyes flashed with tenderness, and she gently patted her daughter's hand: "Huiyi, I know you are a kind child. I understand that you care about Nanny Gui. But in this mansion, you must learn to respect everyone's status and decision. Nanny Gui has made a mistake, and what we have to do now is to accept the reality."

Zheng Huiyi widened her eyes, tears blurred her vision, she looked at her mother, her heart filled with disappointment and helplessness.

Princess Duan was in a dilemma and didn't know how to persuade her daughter to accept Gu Qinlan.

Zheng Huiyi looked worried and said to Princess Duan, "Mother, haven't you noticed Gu Qinlan's arbitrary behavior? If she is really a virtuous sister-in-law, how could she disregard the rules of our Prince Duan's Mansion and act so arbitrarily?"

Princess Duan frowned slightly. She sat upright on the mahogany chair, her eyes showing a bit of contemplation. She gently stroked the Buddhist beads in her hand and slowly spoke: "Hui Yi, you may have misunderstood Gu Qinlan. Since she married into the Prince Duan's mansion, although her style of doing things is different from ours, she has not crossed the line."

Zheng Huiyi stood up eagerly and walked to Princess Duan, her beautiful face full of anxiety: "Mother, how can you be so tolerant? She is trimming flowers and trees in the garden today, and tomorrow she may interfere in the affairs of the mansion. If this continues, won't the rules of Prince Duan's mansion be completely destroyed by her?"

Princess Duan shook her head gently. She looked at her daughter lovingly and said, "Huiyi, you still don't understand how women get along with each other. Gu Qinlan may have her faults, but she is also doing it for the good of Prince Duan's Mansion. If you are really worried, why not try to communicate with her and understand her thoughts."

Zheng Huiyi bit her lower lip. She knew her mother was a gentle person who didn't like family disputes. But she couldn't stand what Gu Qinlan did. She took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible, "Mother, you were going to ask Gu Qinlan about her marriage consummation with my brother tonight, but you were delayed by her hypocrisy. Don't you think she is deliberately avoiding it?"

Princess Duan's expression finally became serious. She put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and looked at Zheng Huiyi sharply: "You are right, she does seem to be evasive. But we can't blame her entirely. Maybe she has her own unspeakable secrets."

Zheng Huiyi said anxiously, "Mother, you are too kind. If I hadn't reminded you, you would have almost forgotten about it. My brother's marriage is a big event for Prince Duan's Mansion, and we can't let Gu Qinlan treat it so carelessly."

"But..." Princess Duan bit her lip, hesitating.

Zheng Huiyi pursed her lips and continued to add fuel to the fire, "Mother, you must not underestimate Gu Qinlan. She appears to be gentle and virtuous, but in fact she is scheming and capable. If she is not restrained, I am afraid she will become a great threat to our Prince Duan's Mansion in the future."

Princess Duan frowned and looked worried.

Zheng Huiyi was telling the truth, but she always felt that Gu Qinlan was a virtuous woman and should not be treated like this. However, Zheng Huiyi's analysis forced her to pay attention to this issue.

"Yier, you are right. We cannot take it lightly. However, Gu Qinlan is your sister-in-law after all. We cannot be too harsh on her." Princess Duan hesitated.

Zheng Huiyi sneered: "Mother, don't forget that Gu Qinlan is ambitious. If she gains power, our lives will be difficult. Moreover, if she really controls the power of Prince Duan's Mansion, it will also pose a threat to the status of our family."

Princess Duan bit her lower lip, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She couldn't hesitate any longer, she had to take measures to prevent Gu Qinlan.
