Fu Yu was so angry that her face turned purple: "Bah, you shameless thing! You actually shamelessly want to be someone else's concubine, and you dare to say such disgusting words! If you want to be the prince's concubine, go and say it yourself, don't come and dirty my wife's ears!"

Mei Yun didn't even look at Fu Yu, but stared at Gu Qinlan closely: "I heard that Madam wins people over with virtue, so I guess she doesn't want to be known as jealous. I just want to be with the prince. I don't want to compete with Madam for his favor. I just want to be by his side and help him solve his problems."

"In the future, I would like to accompany the prince to fight on the battlefield, while Madam will take care of the affairs of Prince Duan's Mansion at home. The cooperation between the two of us will surely relieve the prince of many worries and make his official career smoother."

There was a determined light in her eyes, and she believed that Gu Qinlan could not refuse her request.

When Gu Qinlan shook her head lightly and smiled faintly, she opened her red lips and said with a hint of teasing: "If you really speculate like this, then I can only say that your imagination is too rich. You have misunderstood my intentions and underestimated Zheng Dinglian."

"I have always disdained those false reputations. It doesn't matter to me whether others praise me for being gentle and virtuous, or slander me for being jealous. Can these words influence me in the slightest? As long as Zheng Dinglian doesn't think I'm jealous, who has the right to judge me?"

"The Zheng family is a loyal and brave family. There are many heroic deeds of sacrificing their lives for the country in the family tree. Did they do it for power and wealth? Miss Mei, don't judge the real heroes with your superficial knowledge, otherwise you will only blaspheme their heroic names."

"Zheng Dinglian's career in government was earned through his hard work and his life, not through the support of women. Oh, maybe saying support is overestimating you. Your little ability is really not worthy of this word."

"I still say the same thing. If you want to become his concubine, ask for it yourself and don't bother me."

"You can kneel if you want, but it's better to move outside the tent and kneel here where no one can see you."

After saying this, Gu Qinlan turned around and left gracefully.

Fu Yu snorted coldly at Mei Yun, her tone full of contempt: "Shameless thing, just wait for me!"

After stepping out of the tent, Fu Yu hurriedly comforted Gu Qinlan: "Miss, don't get into trouble with the prince because of that shameless guy. I heard that at dawn today, the prince ordered her to go to the capital with us. Just from this point, I know that the prince has no intention of her. What's more, the prince swore last night that he only wants to spend his life with you and never betray you."

One pair for life people……

Gu Qinlan smiled and shook her head gently. If she were still a young girl, perhaps she would be deeply moved by these words and love Zheng Dinglian wholeheartedly from then on.

However, time has taught her more worldly wisdom.

Just listening to a man's sweet words is enough.

If you really believe it, you are naive and stupid.

But she did not extinguish Fu Yu's enthusiasm, "I naturally trust the prince, don't worry, your girl will not be easily swayed."

Fu Yu was relieved: "That's good."

The master and servant went to Princess Duan's tent, where Zheng Yu and her three children were already waiting.

When she saw her coming, Princess Duan waved her hand and said, "My son, come quickly."

Gu Qinlan stepped forward and bowed to greet him.

Princess Duan stared at her intently, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Princess Duan motioned for her to lean over and whispered in her ear, "Did you perform the husband-and-wife ceremony last night?"

Gu Qinlan's face suddenly turned red with shame, and she almost wanted to cover Princess Duan's mouth with a handkerchief.

This old lady is really too direct.

Seeing this, Princess Duan knew the answer and said with regret, "It doesn't matter if you don't have one. This military camp is really not suitable. When we get to the capital, mother will make arrangements for you."

Gu Qinlan almost knelt down to Princess Duan.

Does this kind of thing need to be done with such fanfare?

She prayed silently in her heart: Please let her go!

After breakfast, Zheng Dinglian carefully arranged carriages and a group of elite soldiers to escort the Zheng family to the capital.

Princess Duan held Zheng Dinglian's hand tightly and kept reminding him, "You must be careful and take care of yourself. Once you enter the city, quickly dig out our family's property."

Those properties are the foundation of the Zheng family. If they lose them, they don’t know how long they will have to live a hard life.

Zheng Huiyi felt that she was too talkative, so she quickly pulled her aside and whispered to her, "Mom, please say less. My brother must have something to discuss with my sister-in-law. Let's get in the car and wait."

"Oh, yes, yes, you guys take your time chatting, there's no rush."

Princess Duan immediately held Zheng Huiyi's hand and walked slowly forward, leaving Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian alone.

"My mother's transformation is truly astonishing."

Zheng Dinglian smiled and shook his head, with nostalgia in his eyes, "She has never been so delicate before."

Gu Qinlan also found the change in Princess Duan quite interesting, and agreed with a smile: "Mother is indeed a charming person."

Zheng Dinglian smiled bitterly, then took out a small exquisite cloth bag, "Take this."

Gu Qinlan took it curiously and asked puzzledly: "What is this?"

"Silver notes, and deeds to some shops and farms. The Zheng family also has some real estate and properties in the capital. When you get there, someone will tell you everything in detail. From now on, the Zheng family will be stationed in the capital, and you will need to take care of all the social activities and interpersonal relationships yourself."

When Gu Qinlan opened the cloth bag, her eyes suddenly lit up. She saw a thick stack of documents neatly arranged inside, most of which were silver bills and a small portion were various deeds.

All the silver notes were in large denominations of 100 and 500 taels, totaling 20,000 taels.

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but marvel at the locations of those shops and farms after just a glance.

As expected, the Zheng family had a deep foundation. Even though the Prince Duan's Mansion looked dilapidated, it was actually rich. All these shops were located in the most prosperous areas of the capital. Most of the manors were also located in the most popular areas near the capital, with flat terrain and fertile soil. The only manor located in the mountains was located in the famous Luding Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing.

It is winter now, so on their way to Beijing, they might as well stay in Zhuangzi for a few days and enjoy the hot springs.

Just imagining it is refreshing.

Gu Qinlan took the things into her arms without hesitation, "In that case, let's set off. Prince, take care of yourself."

Zheng Dinglian felt a little reluctant, but he couldn't express it out loud. He could only hold it back and said, "I'll take you to the car."

Gu Qinlan did not refuse.

Since you have decided to spend the rest of your life with him, you should get along well with him.

The couple walked side by side towards the carriage.

Just as they were about to arrive, Mei Yun suddenly ran over with her bag on her back and knelt down to Zheng Dinglian and said, "My Lord, since you insist that I go to the capital, I will follow your arrangements. This is the medicine I carefully prepared for you. It can nourish your body. Please be sure to take it on time."

She held an exquisite box in front of Zheng Dinglian.

Zheng Dinglian said expressionlessly: "No need, the Golden Sword Sect provides me with medicine every year, you can keep these for yourself."
