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

Gu Qinlian pulled Song's arm and pleaded coquettishly, "Mother, you must fight for more dowry for me in front of father, otherwise how can I survive in the Ji family?"

Song looked at Gu Qinlian with a difficult expression on her face. She gently patted Gu Qinlian's hand and said, "Lian'er, I understand what your father means, but you also know that the current situation at home is not optimistic. I have tried my best, but I really can't get more dowry for you."

Gu Qinlian's face suddenly turned ugly when she heard this. She bit her lower lip tightly, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Mother, I know you have tried your best, but I really can't accept this result. The Ji family is not an ordinary family. If the dowry is too little, I will be bullied there."

Song looked at Gu Qinlian and couldn't help feeling a little helpless. She sighed deeply and said, "Lian'er, I know you are worried, but you should also understand that the situation at home is not something I can control. I can only support you as much as possible in the future."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlian's determination was gradually replaced by disappointment. She looked at Song with tears in her eyes: "Mother, can you bear to see me like this? I am your daughter, are you willing to see me suffer in the Ji family?"

Mrs. Song looked at her daughter's tears and felt a pain in her heart. She gently stroked Gu Qinlian's hair and said, "Lian'er, I know the pain in your heart, but you should also understand that as your mother, I feel more pain than you do. However, I am really powerless now."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlian waved her arms in anger and stamped her feet. She looked at Song and said loudly, "Mother, I hate you. I hate your whole family. Why do you always treat me like this? What did I do wrong?"

Mrs. Song looked at her daughter's angry expression and couldn't help feeling a little guilty. She said softly, "Lian'er, I know you have resentment in your heart, but I really hope you can understand me."

Gu Qinlian looked at Song, tears running down her cheeks, and said coldly: "Understand? How can I understand? How should I understand? Mother, do you know the pain in my heart? Do you know what I will face in the Ji family?"

Song looked at her daughter, her heart filled with helplessness. At this moment, Gu Qinlian could no longer hear anything.

Gu Qinlian looked at Song, her eyes full of disappointment and resentment. She turned and left, leaving Song standing there alone.

Mrs. Song looked at her daughter's departing back, her heart filled with pain.

She said softly: "Lian'er, mother is sorry for you, but mother really can't do anything."

……

Gu Qinlan returned to Prince Duan's Mansion with a cart full of books, attracting everyone's attention along the way.

As soon as she stepped into Princess Duan's courtyard, she was greeted by Princess Duan who was waiting there.

Princess Duan looked at Gu Qinlan lovingly and said with a smile: "Qinlan, you are finally back. These days, the affairs of the mansion have made you worried, and I feel bad for you. It just so happens that you are back, and I have a plan to hand over the housekeeper power to you."

Gu Qinlan was slightly stunned, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

The power of stewardship in Prince Duan's Mansion has always been held by the princess herself. This time her mother-in-law suddenly proposed to hand it over to her. There must be someone instigating this.

She slightly concealed the doubt in her eyes, and bowed, "Mother, you know that I am young and inexperienced. I am afraid that I cannot handle such an important position. Why don't you let me continue to be in charge? I will learn from you so that I can better assist you in the future."

Princess Duan's eyes dimmed slightly, as if she was a little disappointed with Gu Qinlan's answer. She sighed softly and said, "Qinlan, I know you are filial, but you should also understand that the rise and fall of a family depends on the efforts of every member. I give you the power of stewardship so that you will be responsible for the future of Prince Duan's Mansion."

Gu Qinlan's heart tightened. She understood her mother-in-law's expectations, but she was really troubled by the mess in Prince Duan's Mansion. She hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to say, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to take responsibility, but I'm worried that I'm not capable enough and will miss the important things in Prince Duan's Mansion. I'm willing to learn by your side, and when I have the confidence to be competent for the position of housekeeper, it won't be too late to take over."

Upon hearing this, Princess Duan's face looked a little heavy.

Princess Duan patted Gu Qinlan's hand with a smile, her eyes full of trust, and said, "Qinlan, after all, you are the only daughter-in-law of our Zheng family. The power to lead the family belongs to you."

Gu Qinlan bowed her head slightly, with a humble look on her face, and said softly: "My daughter-in-law is not worthy of such a heavy trust, and I am afraid she will not be able to do it."

Princess Duan smiled slightly, her eyes firm: "You are my daughter-in-law of the Zheng family, so I naturally trust you. Ding Lian also arranged this matter before he went to the war, and I believe in his vision."

At this time, Zheng Huiyi said from the side: "Yes, sister-in-law, you don't have to be modest. Before my brother went to the battle, he specifically told me to support you. He said that you are smart and capable, and you will definitely be able to do it."

Gu Qinlan felt warm in her heart when she heard this. She looked at Zheng Huiyi gratefully and said with a smile, "Thank you for your support, sister. I will do my best not to let my mother and brother down."

Nanny Cen stepped forward and handed the account book, the storeroom key, and the seal of the head of the family to Gu Qinlan, saying, "Madam, this is the trust that the old lady and the prince have in you. Please keep it well."

Gu Qinlan took the things and said solemnly: "I will do my best to take care of Prince Duan's Mansion."

Princess Duan looked at Gu Qinlan's determined eyes, and felt more relieved. She smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you."

Princess Duan turned to Madam Cen and said, "Madam, follow Qin Lan and assist her well so that she can get familiar with the affairs of the palace as soon as possible."

Madam Cen replied respectfully, "I obey your command."

Gu Qinlan yawned, a trace of fatigue flashed in her eyes, then she stood up, bowed to everyone, and said softly: "Everyone, I'll take my leave first. I'm a little tired and need to rest for a while." After that, she turned and walked towards the inner room.

Zheng Huiyi looked at Gu Qinlan's back, her eyes full of the pleasure of success. After Gu Qinlan disappeared behind the screen, she turned to Princess Duan and said, "Mother, look at my sister-in-law..."

Princess Duan nodded slightly, her expression slightly heavy, and said: "She has indeed been very hard-working during this period, so we should not disturb her anymore."

Zheng Huiyi sighed softly and said, "Mom, what do you think we should do now? The financial situation at home is getting increasingly tight, and I'm really worried."

Princess Duan sighed, looked at Zheng Huiyi, and said, "Yes, this is indeed a difficult problem. However, your sister-in-law Gu Qinlan has a generous dowry, maybe she can find a way to solve it."

Zheng Huiyi's eyes lit up and she nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law is indeed a person with ideas. She will definitely find a way to help us get through this difficult time."

Princess Duan frowned slightly and said, "But I always feel that it is not reasonable to rely on her dowry to live. We have to think of a long-term plan."

Zheng Huiyi looked at Princess Duan and said softly, "Mother, you don't have to worry too much. Since my sister-in-law married into our Zheng family, she will naturally care about our family. Moreover, as a merchant's daughter, it is only natural for her to give some money."
