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

Some people whispered and discussed in low voices:

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Gu family is a loner, living in seclusion in her boudoir and rarely interacting with others. I thought it was just gossip from others, but I didn't expect that she is even more solitary than the legend said."

"She has already married into the noble Prince Duan's Mansion, but she still acts so carelessly. It's really embarrassing."

"That Prince Duan married such a stingy princess. I'm afraid he will become a laughing stock in the future."

"Who says it isn't?"

……

Gu Qinlan listened to those cold words without changing her expression or heartbeat, and calmly retorted: "Why is Miss Sheng so narrow-minded? In Miss Sheng's eyes, must all emotions be measured by the value of money?"

Sheng Mimi held her head high and said disdainfully, "Emotions may not have to be judged entirely by value, but they also depend on the specific situation and the person. You are now the noble Crown Prince's Consort, but you still gave Qin Lian such a trivial gift. Are you trying to play the trick of 'a small gift but a big sentiment'? Since you are Qin Lian's biological sister, you use such a shabby gift to embellish your appearance. Aren't you deliberately embarrassing her?"

The ladies around all showed dissatisfaction, and an elderly lady was even more outspoken: "Madam Zheng, I am taking advantage of my age to give you two pieces of advice. Even if you are dissatisfied with your stepmother and sister, you should consider the reputation of Prince Duan's Mansion. You come here to add makeup today, not only to represent yourself, but also to represent the image of Prince Duan's Mansion. You should be magnanimous in dealing with others, otherwise your future will be bumpy."

Gu Qinlan knew this old lady.

The old lady of the Zheng family, her eldest son is good friends with Gu Dingli in the business world, and he usually has close contacts with the Song family.

This old lady appears to be amiable on the surface, but in fact she is very scheming and cunning.

Gu Qinlan smiled at her and said in a gentle tone: "Madam Zheng is right. I will keep it in mind."

Seeing her so calm and composed, with no change in her expression, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but wonder about her intentions.

Did she not care at all, or did she simply not understand?

Sheng Mimi couldn't hold back her anger: "What's the point of just keeping it in mind? How should we deal with the dowry today? Are you going to continue to insist on only giving these meager gifts?"

Gu Qinlan responded calmly: "Well, what other options are there? We can't go back and get it again."

Sheng Mimi's eyes rolled, and she quickly reached out to grab Gu Qinlan's wrist: "It's indeed not appropriate to go back and get it. I think your jewelry and bracelet are quite exquisite, so use them to complete it."

After saying that, she wanted to take off the bracelet on Gu Qinlan's wrist.

That jade bracelet carries extraordinary meaning. It was given to Gu Qinlan by Princess Duan herself, representing the noble status of the mistress of the Zheng family.

Gu Qinlan pushed Sheng Mimi away mercilessly: "How dare you! Miss Sheng, where do you get the courage to openly seize other people's property in broad daylight?"

Sheng Mimi was pushed and staggered, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, her maid supported her in time, but this scene made her lose face in front of everyone.

She was so angry that her face turned blue, and she pointed at Gu Qinlan angrily: "Gu Qinlan, who do you think you are? How dare you attack me? Do you think that marrying into Prince Duan's mansion will make you a success? I tell you, you will always be an insignificant merchant girl! If you know what's good for you, take off that bracelet immediately!"

Sheng Mimi relied on her father's power and was always arrogant. She always regarded herself as a lady from an official family and looked down on people from merchant families. However, most of the guests in this courtyard were from merchant families. When she said this, everyone present immediately changed their expressions.

But Sheng Mimi didn't care and still stared at Gu Qinlan with a stern look.

Gu Qinlan sneered: "I call you Miss Sheng, you really think you are a delicacy. Although I am a merchant's daughter, I was blessed by fate and was able to marry Zheng Dinglian. If I want to investigate, do you think your father will personally take you to kneel down and apologize to me?"

Sheng Mimi's face suddenly changed, but she quickly regained her composure, "I'm just angry at your indifference to Qin Lian! Although you married well, the dowry you gave today was inappropriate. I asked you to give me some things for your own good. You should take off that bracelet, and I'll have someone give you a generous gift."

No matter what, she would make Gu Qinlan embarrass herself in front of everyone today!

As long as this gift is paid, Gu Qinlan will always bear a shameful reputation.

Gu Qinlan was too lazy to argue with her anymore, so she turned to Fu Yu and said, "Tell her the origin of this bracelet."

Fu Yu stepped forward and announced loudly: "This bracelet is a family heirloom of the Zheng family. Our old lady personally put it on my wife at the wedding. Only those who truly become the mistress of the Zheng family are qualified to wear this bracelet. Miss Sheng, I have to say that you have a good eye. You recognized the value of this bracelet at once."

Sheng Mimi opened her eyes wide in shock: "Is this the Zheng family's heirloom? Impossible! How could an heirloom be given to you so easily?"

Gu Qinlan looked at her in confusion: "Is it so hard for you to accept that the bracelet passed down to the mistress of the Zheng family was passed down to me?"

Of course, Sheng Mimi's self-esteem could not tolerate such humiliation.

There is always a figure lingering in her mind, and that person is Zheng Dinglian.

Before this, her mother had sent people to the Zheng family to inquire about the news, trying to tie her life to Zheng Dinglian. However, the Zheng family adhered to the old rules and insisted that they had already arranged a marriage for Zheng Dinglian.

When she learned that her fiancé was Gu Qinlan, Sheng Mimi was so angry that she even fell ill and fell into bed.

How exactly is she inferior to that merchant's daughter?

Therefore, she planned carefully today and tried to make Gu Qinlan look bad in front of everyone.

However, this plan cannot be made public, otherwise she will lose the chance to get married forever.

But Sheng Mimi was unwilling to let Gu Qinlan off easily. She continued to press on: "This bracelet is of great significance and naturally cannot be given as a gift casually. But don't you have other precious ornaments on your body?"

Sheng Mimi was pressing hard, vowing to take something away from Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan remained calm and said calmly: "There is nothing wrong with the dowry I brought today, but Miss Sheng insisted that I was not considerate enough to Qin Lian. In this case, why not ask my stepmother to come over. If she also thinks that I need to add to the dowry, then I will never refuse."

Sheng Mimi sneered: "You are not trying to use your status to oppress Aunt Gu, are you? As we all know, it is difficult to be a stepmother. No matter what you do, Aunt Gu will give you a break for the sake of the family's reputation. Gu Qinlan, you are so scheming that it is really unexpected."

Gu Qinlan responded calmly: "If you don't agree, then don't waste your breath. I'm here to add to my sister Qinlian's beauties, not for you. Even my own family doesn't think my gift is frivolous, so how can you, an outsider, have the right to make comments."
