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

The last time he came back, the chaos at home was unbearable for even a man who didn't care about details.

Gu Qinlan was very nervous at the moment and had no time to be polite with him.

Zheng Dinglian also noticed her uneasiness, so he changed the subject: "I have asked people to dig out the items you buried in the pond. Because it is close to the New Year, I asked them to wait until after the New Year to transport them back to the capital."

Sure enough, Gu Qinlan's attention was successfully attracted. "Are those items safe and sound?"

Zheng Dinglian replied with a smile: "It is well preserved, but the mansion was burned down by those people."

He sent people to block the secret passage near the ancestral tomb. The refugee leader knew that he had no way to escape, so in order to create trouble for Zheng Dinglian, he ordered a fire in the Prince Duan's Mansion. In the end, only ruins were left of the magnificent Prince Duan's Mansion.

Gu Qinlan felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife and she was heartbroken.

The Prince Duan's Mansion carries the emotions and hard work of the Zheng family for generations, but now it has been reduced to ashes, which is unbearable.

"Has the so-called leader been captured?"

Zheng Dinglian nodded: "I arrested him personally and handed him over to the Ministry of Justice for processing. Before handing him over, I entertained him well."

Anyone who dares to burn down his mansion must pay the price!

Gu Qinlan's mood calmed down a little, but Zheng Dinglian's next words made her unhappy again.

"Your grandfather and his family have also arrived in the capital, and the Ji family has come with them."

Gu Qinlan frowned: "They are coming to the capital too?"

Zheng Dinglian nodded: "Originally I should have arrived three days ago, but because my grandfather was unwell, I was delayed on the way."

Gu Qinlan muttered to herself, good deeds will be rewarded, but evil deeds will always be there. The Gu and Ji families are so tenacious that they can still survive until now!

Zheng Dinglian continued, "When the refugees besieged the city, they handed over the food and property in their mansion to the leader, and the leader did nothing against them. Later, the leader even threatened me with them, but I ignored him."

In fact, he even said indifferently that he would let the leader do whatever he wanted without saying anything. At that time, these words almost made Mr. Gu faint with anger.

Gu Qinlan suppressed his smile and pretended to be serious: "Your Highness handled it properly. Grandfather is loyal to the court and he would never be willing to become a pawn of the enemy to threaten the court. If the situation is more urgent, even if Your Highness personally saw grandpa off, grandpa would not have any complaints. On the contrary, he would feel extremely proud to be able to sacrifice his life for the country."

Zheng Dinglian also tried hard to hold back his laughter and said seriously, "You are absolutely right. Grandfather's righteousness makes us younger generations deeply admire him."

Both of them knew that the other was speaking in a sarcastic way, and they couldn't help but smile at each other, and then burst into happy laughter.

Wanying, along with several maids carrying bedding and daily necessities, had already walked to the door. Hearing the laughter from inside, she quickly signaled everyone to stop and not disturb the wonderful atmosphere between the two masters.

After this joke, the strangeness between Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian instantly disappeared, and was replaced by an inexplicable sense of friendship.

They understood each other's thoughts and wishes. Zheng Dinglian did not back down when the refugee leader took Old Man Gu as a hostage because he knew that for Gu Qinlan, letting his grandfather die at the hands of the enemy was the best outcome.

She knew that he understood her thoughts and would not think that she was cruel. Instead, he would fully support her, which made her feel that she had a strong backing.

It is really exciting to spend my life with such a person.

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Wanying waited outside the door for a moment, and when she was sure the time was right, she tiptoed in with her maids.

"Prince, do you need a maid to help you bathe?"

Zheng Dinglian waved his hand and said, "No need, just put your things down and leave."

Wanying responded softly, then led the maid out of the room and closed the door gently.

Only Zheng Dinglian and his wife were left in the room. Zheng Dinglian walked leisurely into the inner room and began to wash up.

Gu Qinlan's nervousness, which she had finally calmed down, surged up again. She sat in front of the mirror, and the movement of taking off her pearl jewelry seemed a little awkward.

In fact, Zheng Dinglian was not as calm as he appeared. He was also nervous and excited, but he was afraid that his emotions would scare Gu Qinlan, so he chose to stay in the inner room for a while, hoping that this would give her some time to adapt and buffer.

He had to leave only when the bath water was almost cold.

When he came out dressed, Gu Qinlan was already sitting by the bed waiting for him.

Seeing him come out, she immediately stood up and asked with concern: "Prince, do you need me to help you dry your hair?"

Zheng Dinglian sat on the stool and said with a smile, "Thank you, Madam."

Gu Qinlan picked up the handkerchief and began to wipe his hair.

He was a large man, so tall even when he was sitting that she had to raise her hands to dry his hair.

There was a heating pad burning in the house, and after being busy for a while, she even broke out in a thin sweat.

After finally wiping his hair half dry, she was about to put down the handkerchief to take a break, but she didn't expect him to suddenly snatch the handkerchief from her hand and then suddenly hugged her up.

She was so scared that her heart was beating faster and she wanted to speak, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and no sound came out.

Zheng Dinglian held her in his arms and strode to the bed, placed her gently on the bed, and then lowered the bed curtain.

The man's nervous voice came from behind the bed curtain: "Don't be afraid..."

The bed curtains began to shake and the shaking lasted for a long time.

The next day, when Gu Qinlan woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

She actually slept for so long?

She sat up suddenly, but fell back down because of the pain in her body.

She couldn't remember how many times he tossed her to and fro last night, she only knew that she was too tired to bear it anymore and fell asleep without knowing when.

Oh my god, how can this be so exhausting?

It was obviously not this painful in my previous life?

Fu Yu, who had been guarding outside the door, heard the voice inside the house and asked softly, "Miss, are you awake?"

Gu Qinlan responded, and Fu Yu pushed the door and walked in.

Fu Yu blushed slightly and asked cautiously, "Miss, do you need a bath? The prince specifically asked us to prepare hot water."

Gu Qinlan felt warm in her heart. She had to admit that although Zheng Dinglian was a warrior, he was very considerate. After what happened last night, she was exhausted and unable to move, but he had someone prepare hot water and wiped her body personally, with extremely gentle movements.

"Please bring in the hot water."

Fu Yu immediately asked the maids to bring in hot water.

After the hot water was ready, Gu Qinlan took off her clothes and slowly soaked in the bathtub.

Fu Yu was standing by her side, massaging her gently with a bath towel. When she saw the faint marks on her body, her cheeks turned red with shame.

Gu Qinlan, who originally didn't have much feeling about this kind of thing, couldn't help feeling a little shy when she saw Fu Yu's shy look.

Fu Yu asked, "Miss, now that the prince has returned, should we...us, the maids, change our words?"
