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

Song forced a smile and tried to look calm: "Oh, it's nothing, Mimi. I don't care about these little things. No matter what gift Qinlan gives us, we will like it."

Sheng Mimi obviously didn't believe it. She remembered that the tone of Song's words just now was not like that.

Song twisted Sheng Mimi's arm gently with moderate force, and winked at her anxiously, "Qin Lian must feel lonely in the inner room, carefully dressing in front of the mirror. You should go in and keep her company."

Sheng Mimi was not someone who could be easily fooled. Although she was unable to discern the secret of the collection in the box, she keenly sensed from Song's behavior a secret that she did not want to be revealed.

Although she felt a little regretful that she could not completely embarrass Gu Qinlan, Sheng Mimi knew that Song was the mother of her best friend and did not want to embarrass her. So she followed Song's tone and said gently, "Since my aunt is generous and does not argue with her, I should not get too entangled with her, so as not to give people a reason to accuse me, Sheng Mimi, of being unreasonable."

Following Song's guidance, Sheng Mimi slowly walked towards Gu Qinlian's boudoir.

At this moment, Gu Qinlan suddenly spoke up: "Miss Sheng, please stay. Now that things have come to this, if I don't explain the truth, I'm afraid others will really think I'm stingy. While everyone is here, why not let me show you the gift I prepared for you to add to your makeup."

Fu Yu swiftly opened the lid of the box and took out the items one by one, calling out the name of each item she took out.

The appearance of each item makes the expressions of the guests present more colorful.

Oh my God, where did these old things come from?

Look at those gold and silver jewelry, they are all covered with a layer of grayness of time. They are so old that they have probably been forgotten in the dust of history.

Where did the eldest daughter of the Gu family find these old items to decorate her younger sister's dowry?

Sheng Mimi was indeed a bit picky, but even if these items were used by herself, it would inevitably make people feel disgusted, let alone giving them as gifts, especially for adding to makeup.

This is not a respectful gift at all; it is clearly bringing bad luck and causing trouble!

Everyone looked at Gu Qinlan with a bit of disdain, and the wives of officials felt that Gu Qinlan's behavior was not up to standard. As if they had discussed it beforehand, they all took a few steps back and kept their distance from Gu Qinlan.

They really shouldn't have come over to say hello in such a hurry just now.

It turns out that he comes from a merchant family and lacks knowledge and tolerance. It's really shameful!

Gu Qinlan saw all the ladies' behavior, but she was not angry at all. But Song's face became more and more gloomy. She now completely understood that this girl did it on purpose!

He deliberately lured Sheng Mimi here, and deliberately displayed these items in public!

Song's mind was working rapidly, and her eyes fell on her personal nanny.

There were not many items in the box, and in a short while, Fu Yu had taken out all the items in the box one by one.

Gu Qinlan ignored the cold stares and disdain from the people around her. She took up the dull golden headdress, held it with sincere eyes, and turned to Song:

"Madam, I have already made it clear that love is not determined by value. These items may be insignificant in the eyes of others, but the love they carry is immeasurable. These things have been with you for many years, and you are willing to give them to me generously when I enter the marriage hall. I deeply appreciate your kindness. However, I know the old saying that a gentleman should not steal the beauty of others, so I will use my sister Qin Lian's wedding to return these precious memories to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd who had previously been critical of Gu Qinlan fell silent for a moment.

These items were actually the dowry given by the Song family to Gu Qinlan?

My God, how could the Song family take out such an old and dilapidated item so easily?

Even if she is not a biological daughter, she should be slightly dressed up when she gets married to show respect.

No wonder Song was so eager to close the box just now, it turned out that she had already recognized these old things.

"It is often said that stepmothers are cruel and often indifferent to the children left by their ex-husbands. Today, I saw that it is indeed true. She dared to take out these rags as her daughter's dowry. The Gu family is rich and powerful, how could she be so shameless."

Some people who claimed to be righteous began to accuse the Song family.

"In the past, I always heard that the eldest daughter of the Gu family had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with. But when I saw her today, she behaved properly and remained calm in the face of Sheng Mimi's provocation. Where did those rumors come from?"

"Alas, what else is there to say? The mother of the eldest daughter of the Gu family comes from a scholarly family, and the eldest daughter also exudes a scholarly air. As for the second daughter... it is obvious that some people are worried that the eldest daughter's brilliance will overshadow their own daughter, so they deliberately spread rumors."

"Not only that, the eldest daughter of the Gu family has hardly appeared in public over the years. I think they are worried that the eldest daughter will be too outstanding and steal the limelight from the second daughter, so they deliberately confine her at home and prevent her from showing up."

Those who previously blamed Gu Qinlan now turned to blame the Song family.

When criticizing Gu Qinlan, everyone was a little restrained, after all, her new identity made people feel a little daunted. But they had no scruples about the Song family, after all, they were all from a merchant family, and no one was more noble than anyone else.

Although the Gu family's business is booming, in the world of business, no one dares to predict the future. You may be rich enough to rival a country today, but you may be bankrupt and penniless tomorrow.

Among the many ladies who came today, there were some strong rivals to the Gu family's shopping mall. Now, they had the chance to take advantage of the Song family, and those ladies would not easily let go of this golden opportunity.

Whispers started to rise in the courtyard, and Song's face became paler than paper. However, she reacted quickly and immediately put on a surprised look, asking doubtfully, "Are these the dowry items I gave you when you got married?"

Gu Qinlan sneered in her heart, but pretended to be surprised on her face: "Madam, are you really unaware? These were indeed delivered by your family the night before the wedding. They also took special care to tell me that you personally selected them and told me to keep them properly."

"Isn't that the truth?"

The purpose of her trip was to return the old things to the Song family. She had no other intentions, but Sheng Mimi insisted on dragging her into a big fight, and the Song family seemed to want to take the opportunity to suppress her. In this case, she might as well take advantage of the situation to make some comments.

As for who will take the blame in the end in this dispute, for her, it is a sure win.

Moreover, after today's incident, the Song family's reputation has been greatly damaged. No matter how eloquent the Song family is, everyone present will firmly believe that what happened today was instigated by her.

After all, the identity of "stepmother" is a big taboo in itself.
