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

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said, "Mother, Zheng Huiyi is a smart child. I believe she can understand the truth. Besides, she is young, so it is inevitable that she will be fooled by the evil slave. As a sister-in-law, I will not bother with a child."

Princess Duan looked at Gu Qinlan with admiration in her eyes and said, "Qinlan, I really admire your broad mind. Zheng Huiyi is blessed to have a sister-in-law like you."

Princess Duan looked at Gu Qinlan with loving eyes and couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that you, Qinlan, are so young, but you have such excellent etiquette and demeanor. Look at Huiyi, she still needs to learn more from you."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and responded gently: "Mother, you are too kind. Miss Huiyi is smart, but she still needs some time to hone her skills."

Princess Duan nodded, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She said, "Qin Lan, I have an unreasonable request. I wonder if you are willing to agree to it?"

Gu Qinlan was slightly stunned, and said softly: "Mother, please tell me, Qinlan will do her best."

Princess Duan sighed and said, "I hope to borrow your foster nanny and let her teach Huiyi well in Prince Duan's mansion. What do you think?"

Gu Qinlan thought for a moment and smiled, "Since mother trusts Qinlan so much, I am willing to agree. I will arrange for Nanny to come as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Princess Duan showed a satisfied smile on her face and said, "Okay, I knew you were a child who knew your limits."

Gu Qinlan leaned close to Fu Yu's ear and lowered her voice, "You know, my foster nanny was found by my stepmother Song specifically for me. She is very strict and even I am afraid of her."

Fu Yu blinked, a curious look on her face: "Really? Then isn't she also very strict?"

"That's right." Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, a bitter smile flashing across her face, "I have seen her punishing servants with my own eyes, and her methods were extremely harsh. Even I myself have suffered at her hands."

Fu Yu listened and could not help imagining Zheng Huiyi screaming in disgrace at the hands of the nanny. A mischievous smile flashed in her eyes. "I wonder what would happen to Zheng Huiyi if she fell into her hands."

Gu Qinlan smiled lightly, with a hint of amusement in her eyes: "I am indeed very curious, whether Zheng Huiyi, who is so delicate, can withstand the strictness of Madam."

Princess Duan smiled slightly, looked at Nanny Cen beside her, and ordered, "Go and call Huiyi over."

Nanny Cen agreed and left.

Not long after, Nanny Cen came back with her head down, her steps heavy and her expression depressed. She came to Princess Duan and whispered, "Princess, the eldest lady...she is not feeling well and doesn't want to come."

Princess Duan frowned, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then she sneered, "Unwell? This is clearly an excuse. Has she gotten into trouble again?"

Nanny Cen didn't dare to look up, but just lowered her head silently, secretly sweating for Zheng Huiyi.

Gu Qinlan gently pulled Princess Duan's sleeve and whispered, "Mother, Huiyi may really be unwell. If we call her again, it will only make her more disgusted. It's better to let her rest for a while. When she is well, she will come naturally."

Princess Duan looked at Gu Qinlan, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, but still a little worried, and said: "But, she keeps making excuses like this again and again, how can I not be worried?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will handle this matter well. I won't let her do anything reckless."

Princess Duan looked at Gu Qinlan and sighed inwardly. She knew that her daughter-in-law was a smart and capable woman, but could she really control Zheng Huiyi's stubborn temper?

Princess Duan looked at Nanny Cen and said, "You can go down first. There is nothing for you to do here."

Nanny Cen responded and stepped back.

Princess Duan turned to the servants kneeling on the ground and announced in a cold voice: "From today on, the power of housekeeper will be handed over to the Crown Prince's Consort Gu Qinlan. Anyone who dares to neglect will be severely punished!"

After saying this, Princess Duan turned and left.

The servants looked at each other, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and nodded their heads in agreement.

Just as Princess Duan took a few steps, Zheng Longyu's mother hurried forward, knelt down and begged, "Princess, please have mercy and forgive Longyu this time. He only made a mistake because of the impulse."

Princess Duan paused, glanced at her coldly, and said, "Zheng, do you admit your guilt?"

Mother Zheng's eyes were filled with tears and she trembled as she answered, "I know my crime, and I beg the princess to forgive me."

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan signaled Xiang Zhu with her eyes, and Xiang Zhu immediately understood, walked quickly to Zheng Longyu's mother, and politely but firmly pulled her away. Zheng Longyu's mother was shocked and didn't understand, but seeing Gu Qinlan's serious expression, she had no choice but to step aside.

Zheng Longyu's face was pale, his fists clenched, and he glared at Gu Qinlan, his eyes flashing with an unyielding light. Gu Qinlan's expression was cold, and his eyes were like knives, piercing Zheng Longyu's heart.

Gu Qinlan said coldly: "Zheng Longyu, do you admit your guilt?"

Zheng Longyu stiffened his neck and said, "I am innocent! Princess, you are wrongly accusing me!"

Gu Qinlan's eyes were sharp: "The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to deny it? Come here, send Zheng Longyu to the government office and wait for his punishment!"

Xiang Zhu showed no expression): "Yes, Crown Prince's Consort."

Zheng Longyu's mother knelt down hurriedly: "Princess, please have mercy! Longyu was just impulsive, please spare his life!"

Gu Qinlan was unmoved: "Zheng, you didn't teach your son well, which led to the disaster today. If I forgive him, how can I explain it to everyone in the palace? How can I explain it to the world?"

Zheng Longyu's mother burst into tears: "Princess, I was wrong! I am willing to accept any punishment, just ask you to let Longyu go!"

Gu Qinlan said calmly: "Zheng, since you know you are wrong, then reflect on it. As for Zheng Longyu, he must pay the price for his actions."

Zheng Longyu still looked stubborn: "I don't accept it!"

Gu Qinlan's face was covered with frost, and he immediately ordered: "Drag Zheng Longyu's family away, beat them with sticks, and sell their children! Let them know the consequences of betraying Prince Duan's Mansion!"

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately dragged Zheng Longyu's family to the ground, and cruelly executed the order regardless of their struggles and pleas for mercy. Zheng Longyu's parents watched all this in horror, as they had never thought that their family would be treated like this in Prince Duan's mansion.

Zheng Longyu's father said in a trembling voice: "Princess, please let our family go! We were wrong, and we will never dare to do it again!"

Gu Qinlan sneered, her eyes revealing endless indifference: "Wrong? You betrayed Prince Duan's Mansion and betrayed me, what qualifications do you have to beg for mercy?"

Zheng Longyu's mother burst into tears and begged, "Princess, our family's loyalty to you is evident to all. Please have mercy and don't kill us all!"

Gu Qinlan glanced at them with disdain and said, "Loyalty? How much is your loyalty worth? Today, I want to let you know the price of betrayal!"

The board hit Zheng Longyu's parents, making "bang bang" sounds. Their bodies gradually became weak, and finally they fell to the ground, dying.
