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

The next morning, Princess Duan, accompanied by several personal maids and servants, and escorted by servants, slowly left the capital of Jin in several richly decorated carriages.

The departure of Princess Duan made the Prince Duan's Mansion suddenly seem much quieter.

In fact, Princess Duan only took away the servants in her own courtyard, and the number of people in the mansion was only reduced by more than 20 people.

But at this moment, the servants in the mansion have already understood the situation. They understand that all the affairs of Prince Duan's Mansion, big and small, are now completely controlled by the Crown Prince's wife.

Of the two most naughty girls, one has been confined to her house, while the other is following a strict nanny hired by the lady to learn etiquette in the hope of reforming herself.

The second son of Prince Duan's Mansion, who used to be domineering and like the reincarnation of the devil, seems to have restrained himself a lot in recent days and has become more well-behaved.

Now, the old lady in the mansion is no longer with us. If they don’t control their behavior, what kind of good ending can they expect if they unfortunately fall into the hands of the lady?

Thinking of the stewards and housekeepers who were sent to the government office, the servants in the mansion couldn't help but feel their legs trembling.

The once powerful butler Zheng almost had absolute power in the mansion, and his words even carried more weight than the old lady's.

However, after being thrown into the government, he was tortured to death. The fate of several other managers was also extremely miserable. The luckiest one was only beaten with a stick and exiled to Lingnan, 3,000 miles away.

Although they, a group of insignificant little people, would not commit such a serious mistake, if they offended the lady and were kicked out of the house by her, who would they go to complain to?

Although the life in Prince Duan's mansion is no longer as carefree as before, the lady is obviously not the kind of master who deliberately makes things difficult for the servants. As long as they are cautious and do not make mistakes, it is better than being sold as slaves.

Therefore, the servants in the mansion were all very careful with their words and actions, not even daring to speak loudly. This made the Prince Duan's Mansion, which used to be bustling, suddenly become unusually quiet.

Fu Yu angrily rebuked: "This group of people are all bullies who take advantage of their power."

Gu Qinlan chuckled and said nonchalantly, "This situation is very common. Oh, go and call the girl named Xiaoman."

Soon, Xiaoman knelt respectfully in front of Gu Qinlan.

"Your servant greets the Madam."

Xiaoman's posture was dignified, and her eyes revealed endless admiration and gratitude.

Gu Qinlan helped her up with a smile: "I asked you to come here because I want to consult you about some trivial matters in the mansion. Just tell me everything you know."

Xiaoman immediately began to recount the story in detail.

The young girl was extremely witty and eloquent. She recounted the long history of Prince Duan's Mansion, making everyone in the room laugh, without missing out any key details.

For example, the senior maids and wet nurses beside Zheng Huaiyu and Zheng Fengyun were specially arranged by their biological mother. Another example is that Zheng Huiyi often disguised herself as a servant and sneaked out of the mansion.

Gu Qinlan's impression of this girl became more and more profound.

This girl is very courageous, thoughtful, and good at observing the people and things around her. What is particularly valuable is that she knows how to weigh the pros and cons and understand people's hearts.

In the previous incident of dealing with those housekeepers and their subordinates, this clever girl accurately grasped the best opportunity and became the first person to confess voluntarily.

She knew very well that her mistake was not serious. As long as she could confess the truth first, her master might treat her leniently for the sake of the smooth progress of the whole situation.

As expected, Gu Qinlan not only did not punish her, but gave her an opportunity to climb up.

If such a woman who makes wise decisions can be properly cultivated, she will be able to take on important responsibilities in the future.

Gu Qinlan made plans secretly in her mind, but did not reveal any of it. After Ziying told her all the details, she sent her away.

Fu Yu could not help but gasp in amazement, exclaiming: "I didn't expect that Prince Duan's Mansion may seem sparsely populated on the surface, but it is actually full of twists and turns and is complicated inside."

Gu Qinlan responded calmly: "Which mansion's heritage can be flawless? In comparison, Prince Duan's Mansion is considered to be a clean stream."

Apart from the extravagant Zheng Huiyi, there was nothing particularly surprising about the rest.

Gu Qinlan immediately turned around and told Hongye: "Go and investigate carefully about the former principal wife."

The person she was referring to was the biological mother of Zheng Huaiyu and Zheng Fengyun, a woman named Zou.

Although Zou had remarried two or three years ago, it was obvious that her influence on Zheng Huaiyu and his sister was still profound. She couldn't help but wonder whether the three of them maintained some kind of private contact.

Even so, there is nothing wrong with this, after all, there is an unbreakable blood bond between them.

However, she had to be wary of Zou's secret ill intentions.

It's not that she cannot accept a woman choosing to remarry after her husband's death, but a woman who can't wait to remarry before her husband's body is cold can hardly be called kind.

Not to mention, Zou had two children, so she was not without support for the rest of her life.

Just as Xiaoman mentioned just now, when Zou wanted to remarry, she caused a huge uproar in the mansion and even made Princess Duan so angry that she was bedridden.

Finally, Zheng Dinglian had to make a decision and agreed to Zou's request to remarry. At that time, it had been less than half a year since Zheng Huaiyu and Zheng Fengyun's father passed away.

Would such a heartless and selfish woman care about the future of the children left by her ex-husband?

The answer is naturally no.

Therefore, the intentions behind the maids and nannies she deliberately left behind were really intriguing. Combined with Zheng Huaiyu's remarks yesterday, this Zou was obviously coveting something.

Not long ago, the red leaves floated away, and soon a young maid stepped into the room lightly and quickly.

"Madam, the Ji family just sent someone to report that there will be some fun happening in the Ji family."

Gu Qinlan laughed happily when she heard this: "Tell me in detail, what exactly was this joke?"

She had already planted spies in the Ji family, but there had been no news reported recently. She didn't expect that the joyous event would suddenly explode like a spring thunder.

The maid smiled as brightly as a flower and whispered softly, "The maidservant beside the Third Master Ji is pregnant. This news was just learned recently, and Old Madam Ji was overjoyed. She immediately promoted the maidservant to a concubine and planned to hold a banquet in the mansion to celebrate and entertain everyone."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Looking back, when she entered the Ji family, she was married into Prince Duan's Mansion half a month later than Gu Qinlian.

Although there was no news of any maid being pregnant at that time, one of them was still promoted to Ji Yinli's concubine.

Later, in order to make her plan for his future wholeheartedly, Ji Yinli sold the maid to someone else.

In this life, Gu Qinlian deliberately delayed the wedding date, intending to let her experience the embarrassment and humiliation of the wedding night. As a result, it led to the scandal that Ji Yinli and the maid gave birth to a child.
