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

Inside the flower hall, the mahogany furniture exuded a faint sandalwood scent, and the charcoal fire in the warm room jumped gently, reflecting Gu Qinlan's slightly indifferent face.

She sat there quietly, with a hint of alienation in her eyes, as if she was accustomed to all the disputes.

After a while, Song came in, holding her daughter Gu Qinlian's hand, talking and laughing. Gu Qinlian had a proud smile on her face, and her gorgeous clothes set off her youthful vitality.

As soon as Song entered the room, she smiled and said, "Qin Lan, today is the day you return home. Why didn't Prince Duan prepare some decent return gifts for you?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and replied slowly: "I have already told the servants to prepare the return gift. As for whether it is decent or not, that depends on your vision, Madam."

Gu Qinlian sneered before Song said, "Sister, are you mocking me? The return gift is so shabby that it makes people laugh. You still have the nerve to say that you are ready?"

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and then she regained her composure: "Third sister, if you feel it's too shabby, you can prepare a more generous return gift yourself and give it to your son from Prince Duan's mansion."

Song frowned and interrupted them impatiently: "Okay, what do you two mean by this? Why do we have to argue with each other as a family and make a fool of ourselves?"

Gu Qinlian raised her voice: "Mother, I'm not arguing, I just can't stand my sister's hypocritical attitude. She is obviously living a worse life than me, but she deliberately pretends to be complacent."

Gu Qinlan's eyes turned cold when she heard this. She gently put down the fan in her hand and said indifferently: "Third sister, do you think the value of my return gift represents my feelings?"

Gu Qinlian was choked. She widened her eyes and said angrily, "Isn't it? Look at other people's return gifts, and then look at yours. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Mrs. Song was a little impatient watching the two sisters quarreling. She frowned and said, "Well, you two are both my daughters, why are you fighting with each other? Qin Lan, your return gift may be humble, but I know your feelings, and that's enough. Qin Lian, you can't mock your sister like this, after all, she is your sister."

Gu Qinlian snorted unwillingly, turned around and stopped talking.

Gu Qinlan was too lazy to argue with Song and Gu Qinlian. She chuckled and stood up, her expression full of determination: "If that's the case, then I won't bother you anymore. I'll go back to the yard to pack my things. From now on, the Gu family has nothing to do with me anymore."

As soon as Gu Qinlan finished speaking, Gu Qinlian's face suddenly turned livid. She stamped her feet in anger, pointed at Gu Qinlan's back and said loudly: "Gu Qinlan, do you think you can be proud after leaving? I tell you, Prince Duan's Mansion is not as good as you think, you will only regret it in the future!"

Song's face was dark, and she stared at Gu Qinlan with gloomy eyes, saying in a cold tone: "Qinlan, what are you doing? You are the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Duan's Mansion, how can you leave the Gu family so rashly? You are bringing shame to our Gu family!"

Gu Qinlan stopped and looked back at Song, with a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Song, do you think you will be proud of me leaving the Gu family? I tell you, I left the Gu family just to have a better life. As for Prince Duan's Mansion, I believe I will live better than you think."

After saying that, Gu Qinlan turned and left, leaving Song and Gu Qinlian in the flower hall in a rage.

Gu Qinlian looked at Gu Qinlan's departing back and sneered disdainfully: "Does she think she can live a good life if she leaves the Gu family? Don't forget that the prince of Prince Duan's mansion is not in the mansion. If she marries there, she will be a widow and will only suffer."

Song glared at Gu Qinlian and said in a serious tone, "Qinlian, what nonsense are you talking about? Although the prince of Prince Duan's mansion is not at home, he has always been very fond of Qinlan. Don't talk nonsense anymore, lest you cause trouble."

Gu Qinlian curled her lips and stopped talking.

Gu Qinlan returned to her yard and began to pack up.

Her eyes were firm and her movements were decisive, as if she was ready to leave forever.

At this time, Fu Yu walked in, and seeing Gu Qinlan's busy figure, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, are you really going to leave the Gu family?"

Gu Qinlan stopped what she was doing, looked at Fu Yu, and smiled, "Fu Yu, I have made up my mind. In the Gu family, I am always an outsider, and I am excluded and suppressed."

Fu Yu's eyes flashed with worry, but she knew that Gu Qinlan's decision could not be changed. She nodded and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will always be by your side and protect you."

Gu Qinlan smiled and patted Fu Yu's hand, saying, "Thank you, Fu Yu. With you by my side, I am more confident to face future challenges."

As night fell, Gu Qinlan left the Gu family with her belongings and returned to Prince Duan's Mansion without looking back.

Gu Qinlian was in the hall, looking at the direction where Gu Qinlan left, her eyes full of jealousy and disdain. She sneered and said to herself: "Gu Qinlan, do you think you can live a good life if you leave the Gu family? Wait, one day, you will regret your choice today."

Song's eyes were gloomy, and she thought to herself, "Qin Lan, do you think you can get rid of me by leaving the Gu family? I tell you, you will never escape from my grasp."

Gu Qinlian turned her head and looked at Song, holding her head high and saying, "Mother, just wait patiently. I know what to do."

Song looked at Gu Qinlian, her eyes full of doubt and worry. She sighed and said, "Qinlian, you are always so confident, but you know that this world is dangerous and people's hearts are hard to predict. You are so optimistic about Ji Yinli, aren't you afraid that he will let you down?"

Gu Qinlian smiled slightly, her eyes firm: "Mother, don't worry, I know what's going on. Ji Yinli, he is the one I like, I believe in him."

Gu Qinlian's eyes were firm and confident. Song looked at her daughter with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She gently adjusted the hairpin on her temples and slowly said, "Qinlian, you have been smart since you were a child, but I want to ask you, why do you think so highly of Ji Yinli? Do you know that not everything in this world can go as you wish?"

Gu Qinlian smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible arrogance in her smile: "Mother, you don't know Ji Yinli yet. He is as deep as the sea and as broad as the sky. His talent and knowledge, his mind, are all outstanding. I, your daughter, do not think I am blindly confident, but I know his abilities very well."

When Song heard her daughter's words, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"But, Qin Lian, why are you so sure that he will be the top scorer in the imperial examination? Why don't you want to tell mother about this?"

Gu Qinlian smiled, with a sly look in her eyes: "Mother, this is my daughter's secret, and it also reflects my daughter's trust in Ji Yinli. I can't tell you, but I can guarantee that he will definitely be the top scorer in the imperial examination."

Song looked at Gu Qinlian, shook her head, and said, "Qinlian, you are becoming more and more incomprehensible to your mother. But since you are so confident, your mother will no longer persuade you. But you must remember that no matter what happens, your mother will always be by your side."

Gu Qinlian nodded, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Thank you, mother, your daughter knows."
