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

Gu Qinlan raised her eyebrows, looked at Butler Zheng with a sharp gaze, and asked in a cold tone: "Butler Zheng, why are you silent? Do you think the crime you committed can be easily covered up?"

Butler Zheng lowered his head, his body trembled, his lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't know how to answer.

Gu Qinlan sneered and continued, "I know you have other things hidden from me. Today I want to make you understand that your every move is under my surveillance."

Butler Zheng raised his head, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Princess, I... I really don't know what you are talking about. I only serve the Prince Duan's Mansion wholeheartedly, without any selfish motives."

Gu Qinlan smiled lightly, but her eyes became colder: "Butler Zheng, do you think you can escape my control for what you did? You betrayed your master and lied to your superiors and subordinates. How can I let you go so easily?"

Butler Zheng turned pale, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees, trembling, "Princess, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please let my family go, they are all innocent."

Gu Qinlan's eyes were cold and her tone was firm: "Butler Zheng, you think your family is innocent, but do you know that the wealth and glory they enjoy is built on betrayal?"

Butler Zheng's eyes were filled with fear, and he trembled as he said, "Princess, I...I really don't know. I was just greedy for a moment, so I betrayed my master. Please have mercy on me and let my family go."

Gu Qinlan smiled lightly, her eyes became even colder: "Butler Zheng, do you think your repentance can soften my heart? You know, betraying the master is a crime worthy of death!"

Butler Zheng was shaking with tears. "Princess, I am willing to take all the blame. I only ask you to let my family go. They really don't know the crimes I committed. They are also victims."

Gu Qinlan's eyes flickered, and her tone slowed down: "Butler Zheng, do you really think I will let them go so easily? But I see that you still have a trace of regret. If you can confess, I might consider giving your family a chance to live."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Zheng's eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Princess, I am willing to confess. I am willing to explain the crimes I have committed. I only ask you to let my family go."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, her eyes becoming more serious: "Okay, since you are willing to confess, I will give you a chance. But you must know that if you dare to tell a lie, I will bury your whole family with you!"

Butler Zheng nodded solemnly, tears falling down his cheeks: "Princess, I will never lie to you. I will confess my crimes now."

So, under Gu Qinlan's watchful eyes, Zheng, the housekeeper, explained in detail the things he had done to betray his master over the years. He betrayed Prince Duan's mansion, colluded with outsiders in private, leaked the secrets of the mansion, and even tried to frame the Crown Prince's wife. His crimes were revealed one by one, which was thrilling.

As Gu Qinlan listened to Butler Zheng's instructions, her eyes grew colder.

Butler Zheng's crimes were far more than these, but he had confessed the key parts. She decided to let Butler Zheng's family go first, but Butler Zheng himself must be severely punished.

After Butler Zheng finished explaining, Gu Qinlan said in a cold voice: "Butler Zheng, your crime has been established. Considering that you still have regrets, I will let your family go today. But you have to take care of yourself. If you dare to betray me again, I will make sure your whole family dies!"

Butler Zheng was so frightened that his face turned pale and he kowtowed quickly to express his gratitude.

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Fei and said slowly, "Butler Zheng, do you know what you are doing? How is your behavior different from that of a thief?"

Hearing this, Zheng Fei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "Princess, I am just using the opportunity in my hand to seek wealth for myself. In this world, who doesn't seek personal gain? The money of Prince Duan's Mansion will eventually fall into the pockets of others. I am just one step ahead."

Gu Qinlan frowned slightly, with a sharp look in her eyes: "Zheng Fei, you are playing with fire and getting burned. You think you are smart and can control everything, but you don't know that you have fallen into an abyss that cannot be redeemed."

Zheng Fei disagreed, and became even more proud: "Princess, the abyss you mentioned is a bright light for me. You see, I already own half of the Zheng family's assets. When I completely control the Zheng family, Prince Duan's Mansion will also be in my pocket."

Gu Qinlan sneered, revealing a hint of disdain in her tone: "Zheng Fei, do you think that you can control the Prince Duan's Mansion just because you control the Zheng family? You are wrong. The Prince Duan's Mansion is very important. The wealth you thought you had was nothing but a mirage in the end."

Zheng Fei's face changed, and he glared at Gu Qinlan angrily: "Gu Qinlan, are you threatening me?"

Gu Qinlan shook her head gently, her tone calm: "Threat? Why should I threaten you? I just want you to understand that your actions will eventually pay off. Zheng Fei, you think you are smart, but in fact, you are just blinded by money."

Zheng Fei gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and stared at Gu Qinlan: "Gu Qinlan, just wait, one day, I will let you know who is the master of Prince Duan's Mansion."

Gu Qinlan smiled, with a determined look in her eyes: "Zheng Fei, you can try. But I want to remind you that Prince Duan's Mansion is not as simple as you think. Here, there are countless eyes watching you, and your every move is under the surveillance of others."

Zheng Fei's face became increasingly gloomy, and he realized that his every move was indeed under surveillance. But he was already in a difficult situation, so he could only bite the bullet and continue on.

"Gu Qinlan, do you think you can stop me?" Zheng Fei asked angrily.

Gu Qinlan shook her head gently: "I can't stop you, but I can make you understand what price you will pay for your actions."

Zheng Fei widened his eyes and glared at Gu Qinlan: "You...what do you want?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, and said calmly: "What I want is very simple, the peace of Prince Duan's Mansion. Zheng Fei, if you are really capable, let's see if you can control Prince Duan's Mansion, instead of sneaking around to seek personal gain like you are doing now."

Zheng Fei's expression changed unpredictably.

"Butler Zheng, do you know that what you did has violated the palace's rules?"

Hearing this, Zheng Fei sneered and replied, "Princess, although I am a steward in the mansion, I am not a fish that can be slaughtered at will. The money in the mansion is flowing out, and I am just taking it in a proper way. What's wrong with that?"

Gu Qinlan frowned slightly, a sharp look flashed in her eyes, but her tone remained calm: "Butler Zheng, you are courting your own destruction. You thought that no one knew what you did, but in fact, it had already reached my ears."

Zheng Fei's face changed, but he quickly regained his composure. He said calmly, "Princess, if you really want to investigate me, I, Zheng Fei, will never complain. But I would like to ask, how did you know these things?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said, "Butler Zheng, you thought you did it perfectly, but you didn't know that everyone in the mansion has long been dissatisfied with your behavior. Today, I want to clean up the mess and restore the innocence of Prince Duan's mansion."
