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

Xiaoman slowly stood up, tears in her eyes but a grateful smile on her lips. She looked up at Hongye and said in a trembling voice, "Sister Hongye, I'm fine, just my knee hurts a little. When I kowtowed on the ground just now, I just wanted to thank the lady. I will never forget her kindness."

Hongye patted Xiaoman's shoulder gently and said softly, "Silly girl, kowtowing is etiquette, but you should also pay attention to your body. Madam is kind and will not blame you."

After saying that, she turned to look at Gu Qinlan who was sitting in the first seat. She had beautiful features, was gentle, virtuous, dignified and generous.

Gu Qinlan was moved when she saw the interaction between Hongye and Xiaoman. She slowly walked down from her seat, came to Xiaoman, gently held her arm, and asked with concern: "Xiaoman, how is your family situation? Why did you end up in such a situation?"

Xiaoman's eyes darkened, tears welled up in her eyes again. She bit her lip and whispered, "Madam, my family used to live well, but a fire a few years ago burned down our house. My parents also died in the fire, leaving only my brother and I to depend on each other. In order to make a living, I had to work as a maid."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan frowned, a trace of sympathy flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "It's so tragic, you have to endure such a blow at such a young age. Don't worry, from today on, you will stay in Prince Duan's Mansion. I will arrange for servants to take care of you and your brother, so that you can live in peace."

Xiaoman stared at Gu Qinlan with eyes wide open, unable to believe it, tears welling up in her eyes. She knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed three times, and said excitedly: "Madam, I will never forget your kindness. From now on, I am willing to work like a cow or a horse for you, and even sacrifice my life for you, to repay your kindness."

Gu Qinlan hurriedly helped Xiaoman up, frowning slightly, and said seriously: "Xiaoman, get up, what are you doing? I help you because I see that you are kind-hearted and loyal, not because I want you to sacrifice for me. As long as you live a good life and work hard, it will be the best reward for you."

Hongye also whispered to comfort her: "Xiaoman, Madam is kind-hearted, please don't make her worry. From now on, you can live in peace in Prince Duan's mansion, we will all take care of you."

Xiaoman nodded with tears in her eyes.

Gu Qinlan looked at Xiaoman and said with a smile: "Xiaoman, from today on, you will work in my yard."

Xiaoman opened her eyes wide in surprise and joy, and for a moment she couldn't believe it was true.

She pinched herself hard, felt the pain, and confirmed that she was not dreaming, so she was ecstatic.

"Thank you, Princess. Xiaoman is willing to serve you!" Xiaoman knelt down excitedly and kowtowed to Gu Qinlan to express her gratitude.

Gu Qinlan smiled and helped Xiaoman up, saying, "Get up. Now that you are in my yard, you must know the rules. However, if you encounter any difficulties, you can ask Hongye and Fuyu for help. They will handle it well."

Hongye and Fuyu smiled slightly when they heard this and expressed their agreement with Gu Qinlan's arrangement.

They all knew that Gu Qinlan was giving Xiaoman a chance to gain a foothold in Prince Duan's Mansion.

The servants in the courtyard looked at this scene, each of them was astonished and their envy was beyond words.

Being able to work in the Crown Prince's Consort's courtyard means that your status and treatment will be greatly improved.

"Sister Hongye, did the Crown Princess really take Sister Xiaoman to her courtyard?" a maid asked with confidence.

Hongye nodded slightly and smiled: "Yes, it seems that the Crown Prince's wife thinks highly of Sister Xiaoman. We should also take care of her more and let her better integrate into our courtyard."

"Yes, we are a family from now on and we should support each other." Fu Yu also said with a smile.

At this moment, the servants who had been silent suddenly exploded, stood up one after another, and took the initiative to admit their mistakes:

"Princess, it was because of our negligence that we made such a big mistake. Please punish us, Princess."

"Princess, we are willing to take all the responsibility. We only ask you to give us a chance to reform."

In the hall of Prince Duan's mansion, the servants all bowed their heads, their faces full of regret. The Crown Prince's Consort Gu Qinlan sat in the main seat with a calm expression. She looked at these servants who had made mistakes, and she couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said, "You can take the initiative to admit your mistakes, which shows that you still have reverence in your hearts and the willingness to repent. Hongye, record the mistakes of these servants, and I will deal with them personally."

Hongye was Gu Qinlan's personal maid. She nodded quickly, picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and recorded the mistakes made by these servants.

The servants came to Hongye one after another and admitted their mistakes. Some had tears in their eyes, some had regrets on their faces, and some had firm expressions, saying they would definitely correct their mistakes.

"You guys go down, reflect on your actions, and wait for my punishment." After Gu Qinlan said this, he let them leave.

Hongye looked at Gu Qinlan with admiration in her eyes.

The Crown Princess did this to make these servants understand that making mistakes is not terrible, what is terrible is not daring to face the mistakes and not daring to take responsibility.

After the servants left one after another, the hall returned to peace.

Hongye packed up her writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, walked to Gu Qinlan, and asked softly, "Princess, are you really going to punish these servants?"

Gu Qinlan smiled and said, "Of course I have to punish them, but the purpose of the punishment is not to make them suffer, but to make them remember the lesson and not make the same mistake again. In this way, they will believe in me. Hongye, what do you think?"

Hongye thought for a moment and said, "I think the Crown Princess's approach is very wise. Only in this way can they truly realize their mistakes, cherish this opportunity to reform, and respect you even more."

Gu Qinlan narrowed her eyes, turned around and faced the row of stewards kneeling in place. She scanned them all and finally landed on Steward Zheng who was at the front. Her eyes were cold, as if she could see through Steward Zheng's bloated belly and see his meanness.

"Butler Zheng, you admit your mistake, but you still don't forget to show off your loyalty." Gu Qinlan's voice was cold as ice. She slowly walked forward and stood in front of Butler Zheng.

Butler Zheng raised his head, a flash of panic in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He lowered his head and said, "The Crown Princess has misunderstood. This old servant is indeed loyal. When the old Prince Duan was alive, he praised this old servant's loyalty many times."

Gu Qinlan sneered: "When the old prince Duan was alive, you were indeed loyal, but what about now? Your conscience has been eaten by a dog, and you have become a despicable thing."

Butler Zheng's face flushed, then quickly turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "My Lady, I admit that I did something wrong this time, but my loyalty is known to all."

Gu Qinlan stared at Butler Zheng, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes: "Your loyalty? Bullshit! When the old Prince Duan was alive, you served him loyally, but now that he is gone, you have begun to pursue your own interests and betrayed the Prince Duan's Mansion."

Butler Zheng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "My Lady Princess, when did this old servant betray Prince Duan's Mansion?"
