The guests in the courtyard looked at Song with strange eyes, and they were convinced that it was Song who ordered this.

After all, which servant in a house would dare to deal with the master's belongings without the master's approval? Isn't this courting death?

Song tried to remain calm and said, "I really know nothing about this matter. You know that I was seriously ill when you got married. I was really exhausted during those days and couldn't take care of too many things, so I asked Aunt Pang to take care of you. I never thought that she would give you these things by selling inferior goods as good ones."

As soon as she finished speaking, her face darkened and she called out loudly: "Madame Pang! Come quickly!"

Madam Pang was shocked, and hurried forward, kneeling on the ground: "Madam, I know my crime. I shouldn't have taken the initiative to give these things to the young lady."

As Song's confidant, she knew her master's mind better than anyone else, and also knew what role she should play in what occasion. Taking the initiative to bear the master's mistakes is the most basic quality of a loyal subordinate.

Therefore, as soon as she opened her mouth, she took all the blame on herself.

"My lady, I have made a great mistake. I shouldn't have taken the initiative to pass off inferior goods as top-grade goods. I beg you to severely punish me."

Gu Qinlan had already anticipated that things would develop like this. She smiled slightly, like a flower blooming in spring, leaned down, and gently helped Madam Pang up: "Madam, please get up quickly. I don't take this matter to heart. I once said that sincerity cannot be measured by the value of material things. These items may be insignificant in the eyes of outsiders, but in my heart, they are priceless treasures."

Her words were as gentle as the breeze, and she turned to Song and said gently, "Madam, I lost my mother when I was young, and you raised me up with your own hands. I will always remember your kindness in raising me, and I will never misunderstand your deep love because of a few trivial things."

Although Song knew very well that Gu Qinlan's words were false, she still couldn't wait to walk down the stairs: "It's good that you understand it in your heart. As everyone knows, it's difficult to be a stepmother. I'm really worried that I will be negligent and cause people to misunderstand my indifference to you."

Gu Qinlan smiled and said, "Madam, you are too worried. Good and bad things will happen. It is enough for us mother and daughter to understand it."

Song gritted her teeth inwardly. This seemingly weak little woman's words were so sharp. On the surface, she seemed to be praising her, but in fact, every word she said was a veiled sarcasm.

However, at this time, she could not argue with Gu Qinlan, otherwise she would really be charged with abusing her stepdaughter.

She forced a smile and patted Gu Qinlan's hand gently: "You have been a sensible child since you were young. Well, let's end this matter here. Go see Qinlian, she has been looking forward to your arrival."

Gu Qinlan didn't say much, and walked towards Gu Qinlian's residence with a smile.

Although Gu Qinlian did not leave the house, she kept an eye on the outside. She was furious when she saw that Gu Qinlan was not affected at all and that people's views on the Song family had changed.

When Gu Qinlan walked into the house, she chuckled, "Today is your happy day, don't scare the guests with your ferocious face."

Gu Qinlian's expression became even darker: "Are you trying to provoke me on purpose?"

Gu Qinlan continued to smile and replied, "How could that be? I came here to congratulate you sincerely and hope that you can get what you want and marry the person you love."

Gu Qinlian narrowed her eyes vigilantly: "What do you mean by this?"

She always felt that Gu Qinlan seemed to know some unknown secrets.

Gu Qinlan said sincerely, "I sincerely wish you the best. You insisted on marrying Ji Yinli. Now that your wish has come true, shouldn't you celebrate?"

As she spoke, she casually picked up a red velvet flower on the table and carefully inserted it into Gu Qinlian's bun. She gently supported Gu Qinlian's shoulders, looked at their figures in the mirror together, and said with a smile: "You have worked so hard to fight for this marriage. You must cherish it and live a happy life."

Gu Qinlian's heart suddenly tightened, and she had goose bumps all over her skin, as if her skin was being swept by a cold wind. She hurriedly twisted her shoulders, trying to get rid of Gu Qinlan's entanglement, and then suddenly pulled off the soft velvet flower, turned around and looked directly into Gu Qinlan's eyes, and said firmly: "I will naturally live a wonderful life."

"Sister, in this life, I will make you look up to me."

Everything you had in your previous life was given by me! No, I will live a more glorious life than you did in your previous life!

There was an arrogance that was hard to conceal in Gu Qinlian's eyes.

Gu Qinlan smiled calmly and took two steps back: "Well, I wish you all the best. As for whether Ji Yinli can satisfy your ambition, we might as well wait and see."

Gu Qinlian's mood instantly plummeted, and she roared angrily: "Get out! I don't want to see you again! Someone, drive her out!"

Her maid immediately stepped forward and said gently, "Miss, please move aside."

Gu Qinlan didn't want to stay in this explosive room any longer, so she turned around and left with a scornful smile.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she heard a sound of something hitting the ground behind her.

Gu Qinlian looked at Gu Qinlan's figure walking away, gritted her teeth, and said angrily: "This bitch! How hateful!"

The maid quickly squatted down to pick up the scattered jewels: "Miss, please calm down. Today is your big day. I can't let such a small thing ruin your joy."

Gu Qinlian naturally understood this truth, but she was impatient by nature, and her deep hatred for Gu Qinlan was like a lit firecracker. Once she was lit by Gu Qinlan, the "fire starter", she would explode immediately.

Song walked into the room and saw Gu Qinlian’s face flushed with anger.

She quickly closed the door, turned around and comforted him, "Gu Qinlan is clearly here to provoke you on purpose. If you are really mad at her, then you are playing into her hands. If the guests in the courtyard knew about this, I wonder what they would say."

Gu Qinlian asked the servants to leave the room, turned around, held Song's hand tightly and said, "Mom, do you think there is something wrong with that girl? I always feel like she seems to have seen through all my plans."

Song raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

Gu Qinlian said: "I always have a feeling that she seems to know everything about my plan. Could it be that she is also reincarnated like me?"

Song was silent for a moment and smiled softly, "Impossible, she is not that lucky."

"That girl has been very cunning since she was little. She knew how to use her mind when she was only seven or eight years old. Now that she is an adult, she is even more cunning. If she was really reincarnated like you, why would she willingly marry into the Prince Duan's Mansion instead of sticking to the Ji family's marriage?"
