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

Madam Zhao curled her lips in contempt. "She chose to go the crooked path instead of the right one. The Fourth Prince's wife is not an easy character to get along with. She will be ruthless to those around her if she is not satisfied. Didn't your sister know this clearly beforehand?"

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but want to laugh. How could Gu Qinlian not understand? It's just that when fate is bad, you really can't blame others. On the third day of the New Year, she had predicted that Gu Qinlian would burst into tears, and it really came true.

She even knew why Gu Qinlian was beaten.

Because the Fourth Prince's wife's child suffered from a disease that prevented her from seeing the light, the Fourth Prince's wife suffered a lot, and naturally the people around her were not spared either. Gu Qinlian was lucky to be able to save her life.

Gu Qinlian thought so too.

Therefore, her first thought after she woke up from her coma was to escape.

She could no longer stay with the Fourth Prince's wife, or she would die sooner or later.

However, can she get what she wants?

Gu Qinlian was destined to not escape.

This is not because the Fourth Prince's wife is extraordinarily alert.

Instead, Gu Qinlan deliberately leaked the news of Gu Qinlian's attempt to escape to the Fourth Prince's wife.

So, on the way leaving Beijing, Gu Qinlian was intercepted by the Fourth Prince's wife's men.

"Mrs. Ji, where are you going?"

Nanny Cheng, the senior housekeeper beside the Fourth Prince's wife, had a cunning look in her eyes and a sarcastic expression on her lips.

Gu Qinlian was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she said with trembling teeth, "I... I was planning to return to my hometown to bury my father and mother-in-law. Aunt Cheng, why are you here?"

Nanny Cheng responded with a fake smile: "Mrs. Ji's filial piety is indeed touching, but please put your filial piety aside for now. The Fourth Prince's wife wants you to come back with me."

Gu Qinlian's face was pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Mammy, I'm still injured, so it's really not suitable for me to go. Please..."

"Don't be so shameless." Nanny Cheng interrupted her mercilessly, "Gu Qinlian, once you get on this boat, it won't be easy to turn back. Come back with me quickly, otherwise..."

Before she finished her words, Gu Qinlian was already frightened out of her wits and could only obediently get into Nanny Cheng's carriage.

Nanny Cheng snorted coldly and ordered to return to the capital.

The carriage drove silently into the Fourth Prince's residence from the back door. Before it stopped, Nanny Cheng dragged Gu Qinlian out of the carriage.

Soon, Gu Qinlian trembled and knelt on her knees in front of the Fourth Prince's wife.

The Fourth Prince's wife stared at Gu Qinlian coldly with an icy gaze: "I heard that you were planning to escape. Am I so scary?"

Gu Qinlian kowtowed desperately, her voice trembling: "Princess, you misunderstood, I didn't run away, I just wanted to return to my hometown to bury my father and mother-in-law."

The Fourth Prince's wife was not willing to listen to her explanation. She stepped forward and grabbed her throat: "Bitch, don't play tricks in front of me. Don't try to hide your thoughts from me!"

"Didn't you claim that you could predict other people's future? Why didn't you tell me the whole story before, leaving me so happy for nothing? Have you been deceiving me from the beginning?"

Gu Qinlian's throat was tightly pinched, the pain was unbearable, but she dared not resist at all, and said in a crying voice: "I didn't lie to you, I told the truth. I'm just worried that if I tell you everything, you will kill me."

"Princess, I know I was wrong, and I will never hide anything again. I really know a lot of secrets, don't you want to use these secrets to gain some benefits for yourself?"

The Fourth Prince's wife's grip loosened slightly, and a sinister smile appeared in her eyes: "Benefits? What kind of benefits?"

Gu Qinlian's mind raced. She was not a smart person, but since life and death were at stake, she still gritted her teeth and said with all her might, "This is because the Fourth Prince owes you something. If you can use this to achieve certain goals for the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince will only feel more guilty and pity you. When the Fourth Prince achieves great things in the future, he will remember your sacrifice and efforts today and will surely grant you the highest honor."

The Fourth Prince's wife gradually relaxed her grip and asked, "Then tell me, how do you think I should use this opportunity?"

Gu Qinlian almost cried out loud, how could she know the answer?

"Princess, although I am dull, I think this opportunity should be used for the most critical matter. I suggest you discuss this with the Fourth Prince, which would be more appropriate."

The Fourth Prince's wife snorted coldly and pushed Gu Qinlian away: "Useless trash!"

"If you dare to think of escaping again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Gu Qinlian was so frightened that she felt like a sieve of chaff. She knelt on the ground with a thumping sound and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "This servant deserves death. From now on, I will serve the prince's wife wholeheartedly and loyally."

The Fourth Prince's wife did not even spare her a glance. She just calmly ordered the maid to fetch the cloak and put it on her. Then she turned around and took a group of people to find the Fourth Prince to discuss countermeasures.

Only when the Fourth Prince's wife disappeared into the distance did Gu Qinlian feel relieved and fell limply to the ground.

At this moment, her heart was filled with regret and she deeply regretted her decision.

But her heart was filled with resentment.

She didn't understand why people like Gu Qinlan were favored by the Fourth Prince in her previous life, while she was in such a miserable state. Not only was she beaten by the Fourth Prince's wife, she was almost killed.

She claimed that the information she provided was far more crucial than that provided by Gu Qinlan, but her value never seemed to be recognized.

Recalling the terrifying and ferocious face of the Fourth Prince's wife, Gu Qinlian couldn't help but tremble violently again.

In her previous life, she had no chance to meet the Fourth Prince's wife. Her fate with Zheng Dinglian began ten years later, when Zheng Dinglian had been living in seclusion in Jindu. It was not until Ji Yinli was highly valued by the court that the Gu family moved to the capital. Since then, she has been Ji Yinli's concubine, with an awkward status, and naturally had no chance to meet the nobles.

Everything she knew about the Fourth Prince and his wife came from what Ji Yinli said.

However, Ji Yinli revealed very few inside stories to her, and her knowledge of the Fourth Prince and his wife was limited to a few words. Later, when the Fourth Prince ascended the throne, the people were full of complaints, but she did not pay much attention to it. She just felt that the Fourth Prince was a little greedy, and she never took the affairs of the Fourth Prince's wife to heart.

If Ji Yinli could tell her more inside information, she wouldn't have jumped into it blindly, leading to her current dilemma and putting her life in danger.

Her hatred towards Ji Yinli was like a raging fire in her heart!

In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Gu Qinlian was filled with remorse, while at the same time, Gu Qinlan was making final preparations for the upcoming banquet.

Zheng Huiyi and Zheng Huaiyu followed closely and learned a lot of valuable experience from her.

From the specific preparations for the banquet, such as repairing the houses in the mansion and the flowers and trees in the courtyard, to the cups, bowls, and utensils in the kitchen, to the preparation of the guest list, the distribution of invitations, the drawing up of the menu, and inquiring about the relationships between the guests to avoid embarrassment in seating arrangements, every task is extremely tedious, but no carelessness is allowed.

The whole mansion was busy for more than ten days before all matters were in order.
