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

Zheng Fei hung his head and pleaded with Gu Qinlan, "Princess, I am willing to return all my property and assets, and I only ask that you spare my life and the lives of my family."

Gu Qinlan looked at Zheng Fei seriously, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Zheng Fei, do you admit your guilt?"

Zheng Fei kowtowed hurriedly, his voice trembling: "I know my crime, I know my crime. I beg the Crown Prince's wife to have mercy and forgive my family."

Gu Qinlan sighed and her tone softened: "Since you have admitted your guilt, then you must return all your property and assets as you said. I, Gu Qinlan, will keep my word and properly arrange for your family."

Zheng Fei burst into tears upon hearing this, and kowtowed excitedly: "Thank you, Princess, for your magnanimity. I, Zheng Fei, am grateful!"

Gu Qinlan waved her hand, signaling the servants to escort Zheng Fei to the government office. At this time, Zheng Fei's wife Wang ran in hurriedly, looking at Zheng Fei with tears in her eyes: "Husband, where are you going? What should our family do?"

Zheng Fei looked up at his wife, his eyes full of guilt and helplessness: "Madam, I'm sorry. The only thing I can do now is to obey the arrangements of the Crown Princess, and hope that she can save our family."

Wang burst into tears: "But we still have children, they are still so young, they can't be without a father."

Gu Qinlan looked at Wang and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will arrange your lives. As long as you don't make any more mistakes, I will let you live a happy life."

Wang looked at Gu Qinlan, hope glittering in her eyes. She suddenly knelt down and begged, "Princess, please let my husband go. He committed all these crimes for us. Please give him a chance to reform."

Gu Qinlan frowned and said in a serious tone: "Wang, do you know what crime your husband has committed? He betrayed Prince Duan's Mansion and betrayed me. I can't let him go easily."

After hesitating for a while, Wang said to Gu Qinlan, "I choose to take the children away. I don't want to go to Zhuangzi with Zheng Fei's family to suffer."

Gu Qinlan sat upright on a rosewood chair, her eyes like a frozen pond that had been frozen for thousands of years, deep and cold.

She gently put down the teacup in her hand, her tone calm but unquestionable: "Wang, do you know what your choice means?"

Wang bit her lips tightly, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, but she forced herself to remain calm: "I know that I betrayed Zheng Fei's family, but I can't let them drag down my child."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, seeming to be satisfied with Wang's answer: "In that case, I will grant your wish. But you must remember not to disclose Zheng Fei's affairs, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Wang nodded quickly and promised nervously: "Don't worry, Princess, I won't reveal a word."

Gu Qinlan turned to the maid beside her and said coldly, "Sell all of Zheng Fei's servants. No one should be left out."

The maid took the order and left. Gu Qinlan turned to look at Wang and said in a softer tone, "You and the child will stay in the mansion for now. I will arrange for someone to take care of you. You can leave after the situation has calmed down."

Wang's eyes flashed with gratitude, but she was still a little worried: "Princess, if Zheng Fei's family knew about this, would they..."

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with sharpness, and her tone was cold: "If they dare to cause trouble, I will let them taste the power of Prince Duan's Mansion."

Wang looked at Zheng Fei being taken away, and a trace of sadness welled up in her heart. She turned her head and said to Gu Qinlan: "Princess, I appreciate your arrangement, but I would like to ask, why are you helping me like this?"

Gu Qinlan stood up, walked to the window, looked at the servants busy in the yard, and said, "Wang, don't worry, I will arrange everything. As long as you don't reveal Zheng Fei's affairs, I will ensure that you and the child are safe."

Wang's eyes flashed with gratitude. She knew that Gu Qinlan was a man who kept his word. She nodded and said, "Princess, I will remember your kindness."

Gu Qinlan turned around, looked at Wang, and smiled, "Okay, go and have a rest. I'll have someone arrange everything."

Wang left the room, feeling a mixture of emotions.

From now on, her fate with Zheng Fei has ended. But she also knows that she will never forget Gu Qinlan's kindness.

At this time, Gu Qinlan patted his hungry belly, smiled and told Hongye and Fuyu beside him: "Hongye, Fuyu, go and clean the stone table and stone benches in the yard. We are going to have dinner in the yard."

Hongye and Fuyu immediately followed the order, brought a basin of water and a clean towel, and quickly wiped the stone table and bench clean.

After a while, the kitchen servants brought delicious dishes to the stone table.

Gu Qinlan couldn't help swallowing her saliva as she looked at the delicious food in front of her. Hongye and Fuyu also looked at it eagerly, obviously starving.

At this moment, a steward who was kneeling on the ground could not help but beg for mercy in a low voice: "Princess, please have mercy and give us a way out! We were wrong, and we are willing to be punished!"

Gu Qinlan frowned, glanced at the steward coldly, and said in a light tone: "I know you are hungry and I know you are afraid. But your crimes must be punished. I am busy eating now, and I will deal with your affairs later."

Upon hearing this, the other managers knelt down and begged for mercy, breaking down emotionally.

Gu Qinlan looked at these stewards and couldn't help but think of the time when she first entered Prince Duan's mansion. At that time, she was also a newcomer who knew nothing, but with the help of Hongye and Fuyu, she gradually grew into a qualified prince's consort. And these stewards in front of her were once her trusted assistants, but because of their greed, they made irreparable mistakes.

Hongye and Fuyu carefully sat next to Gu Qinlan. Looking at her cold expression, they felt sorry for those managers.

Gu Qinlan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, and put it into her mouth. While tasting the food, she asked, "What do you think is the appropriate punishment for these people?"

Hongye and Fuyu looked at each other, and Hongye said carefully: "Princess, the mistakes these people made are indeed heartbreaking. But considering that they have served you, why not punish them to do some hard labor to make up for their mistakes."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Hongye's suggestion. She put down her chopsticks and said seriously: "In this case, let's do as Hongye said. Let them do some hard labor in the mansion as a punishment. But if anyone commits the same offense again, they will not be forgiven."

Hongye and Fuyu responded in unison: "Yes, sir!"

After the meal, Gu Qinlan asked Hongye and Fuyu to arrange the affairs of the house. She sat alone in the yard, looking at the sunset in the sky, and secretly vowed in her heart that she must make the Prince Duan's Mansion more prosperous and not allow any forces to invade.

Night slowly fell, and the surroundings were gradually shrouded in deep darkness.

Gu Qinlan brought Fu Yu and Hong Ye into Jinghong Garden.

Fu Yu anxiously instructed the maids: "Quickly prepare hot water, the Madam wants to take a bath."

As soon as she finished speaking, she gently helped Gu Qinlan to sit down on the soft couch, and then began to skillfully massage her shoulders with moderate force.

Gu Qinlan smiled and held Fu Yu's hand: "Okay, you have been busy with me today, you must be exhausted, sit down and rest for a while."
