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

When Gu Qinlan arrived, he happened to witness this scene.

"I am so sorry to have kept you waiting. What brings you here?"

Zou's eyes fell on Gu Qinlan. Seeing that she was well-dressed and had an elegant temperament, she couldn't help feeling jealous.

Back then, she was a distinguished lady in Prince Duan’s Mansion, and her husband was also a general. Her glory far surpassed that of the yellow-haired girl in front of her.

However, fate played a trick on her. Her husband passed away and she had to remarry a merchant. Now she has a low status and is neglected.

Lou Yongwei was originally furious, but after seeing Gu Qinlan, his attitude immediately became humble and polite.

"Madam Zheng, we are visiting today to ask why the noble young master would do such a heavy hand to my son. Moreover, I heard that you, Madam Zheng, were also present when the young master was killed, and even deliberately condoned his murder. Madam Zheng, although I am just a merchant, please give me a reasonable explanation."

Gu Qinlan raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Oh? Didn't your master tell you why he was beaten so badly?"

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Zou: "Mrs. Zou, do you know why Zheng Fenghui taught your stepson a lesson?"

Zou was extremely dissatisfied with Gu Qinlan's attitude. She felt that Gu Qinlan deliberately put on a high-handed attitude just to belittle her.

So she said angrily: "No matter what the reason, Feng Hui shouldn't have been so harsh! His character is domineering, and you actually indulged him to do whatever he wants. Gu, what are your intentions? Are you deliberately trying to corrupt my child?"

Gu Qinlan remained silent, turned to look at the door, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Since you are here, please come in and clarify everything with your mother in person."

Zou's gaze involuntarily drifted to the door, where she saw her children standing quietly.

At that moment, a trace of uneasiness passed through her heart.

However, this emotion disappeared in an instant. She stride forward, grab Zheng Fenghui, drag him to Lou Zhejie, and shove him rudely: "Why don't you apologize to Zhejie!"

Zheng Fenghui was originally delighted at Zou's arrival, but he was unexpectedly blamed as soon as they met. At this moment, Zou forced him to apologize, and his expression suddenly became stunned.

Zou didn't allow Zheng Fenghui any chance to explain himself. She pulled him towards Lou Zhejie and said sternly, "Apologize to Zhejie now!"

Lou Zhejie's face was swollen, but his expression was smug, and there was a gleam of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Look, this is your biological mother, she is speaking for me."

Zheng Fenghui was already hot-tempered, and now he was even more furious. He pushed Zou away and roared, "Why should I apologize to him? He deserves to be beaten! Why are you speaking for him? Whose mother are you?!"

Zou felt that she had lost face in front of her husband, and without thinking, she waved her hand and gave Zheng Fenghui a loud slap in the face: "You evil son, what's your attitude!"

Zheng Fenghui was stunned, and Zheng Huaiyu was also stunned, "Mom, what are you doing!"

Zou was also a little stunned. Although Zheng Fenghui was her son, she had remarried and was no longer a member of the Zheng family. Strictly speaking, she no longer had the right to discipline Zheng Fenghui.

If the Zheng family pursues the matter after this slap, she will have a hard time explaining herself.

Lou Zhejie immediately held Zou and said softly, "Mother, please calm down and don't hurt yourself over trivial matters. It's okay for me to be wronged. You and Fenghui should not misunderstand me."

At this moment, Zou felt as if she was in a cloud of fog.

This was the first time Lou Zhejie called her mother after she remarried!

Is this an acknowledgement of her identity?

She asked in disbelief: "Zhejie, what did you call me just now?"

Lou Zhejie smiled, and despite his swollen face, he still showed a hint of pride: "I call you mother. Mother, I finally believe that you really treat me as your own son. My mother used to protect me in the same way."

As soon as he finished speaking, he deliberately pulled the corner of Zou's clothes to show his affection.

Zou's eyes were blurred with tears. She looked up at Lou Yongwei and said in a trembling voice, "My husband, did you hear that? Zhejie called me mother himself. He has accepted me." Lou Yongwei's face was filled with relief, "You have done an excellent job. He feels your love and care, so he naturally opens his heart to you."

In the two years since Zou came into the family, Lou Yongwei had been deeply troubled by the strained relationship between Zou and her children. Now that this thorny issue has finally been resolved, he is overjoyed.

However, the two children of the Zheng family looked as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue, their faces turned pale.

Especially Zheng Fenghui, he felt as if he had become a laughing stock.

He stared at Zou coldly: "So, you are now Lou Zhejie's mother, not our mother anymore, right?"

Zou then remembered her own flesh and blood. She glanced at them awkwardly, her throat rolling but unable to speak: "I..."

Zheng Huaiyu also stared at her coldly: "So, what you said to us before were all false? You said that even if you left the Zheng family, you would continue to care about us, but it turned out to be all lies."

Zou was embarrassed and her voice was choked: "I didn't deceive you, I..."

"enough!"

Zheng Fenghui roared and interrupted her: "Don't explain anymore, I understand. Lou Zhejie really deserves to be punished, but only this time. I will not apologize to him, he doesn't deserve it! From now on, don't bother us again, I don't have a mother like you!"

After saying this, Zheng Fenghui left angrily.

Zheng Huaiyu looked at her disappointedly, then turned around and followed her.

Zou's heart tightened, and she stamped her feet anxiously: "Come back here! How did you become so unreasonable!"

Then, she stared at Gu Qinlan with her eyes wide open: "Are you secretly instigating discord? Now that they are siblings, you must be behind the scenes, destroying the relationship between us mother and son! How can you be so vicious?"

Gu Qinlan calmly asked back: "Zou, are you really the biological mother of Huaiyu and Fenghui?"

Zou was stunned and said sharply, "I'm not, are you? Gu, what are you up to? Don't think you can break up the relationship between us mother and son. They are my children and will always be close to me. Even if I'm not with them, they will always remember my kindness in raising them!"

Gu Qinlan looked helpless: "You can't have your cake and eat it too. Since you have remarried and become a member of the Lou family, you should focus on managing your new family. The Zheng family is a thing of the past for you. It was you who gave up on them. Even without me, it is a foregone conclusion that they will break up with you just based on your behavior today."

Zou was in a panic: "Isn't today's incident all Feng Hui's fault? What's wrong with me asking him to apologize? You just want to deliberately destroy my son and turn him into a rude and unreasonable loser!"
