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

She was not stupid. She did not say that what she saw was Song Bu Ren pressing on Gu Qin Lian. She also knew that at this moment, she had to protect Gu Qin Lian's reputation. Otherwise, her life would be in danger!

After hearing this, Song's expression eased a little.

Gu Dingli pointed at Song Buren lying on the ground and said angrily: "Come here, tie up this evil thief and send him to the government!"

Two servants came forward and turned Song Bu Ren over. One of the servants recognized Song Bu Ren and exclaimed, "Young Master Cousin!"

Gu Dingli looked down and recognized Song Buren. He was so angry that he slapped Song in the face: "Why is your nephew from your mother's family here? How did he get in? How dare he hurt my daughter!"

Song was stunned by the beating. She looked down at Song Bu Ren with her eyes wide open.

She quickly came to her senses and hurriedly explained: "Master, I really don't know. I never asked anyone from my mother's family to come here. I really don't know why he is here..."

"Someone, tie up this bastard and send him to the authorities!"

Although she didn't know what had happened, the most important thing now was to protect her daughter!

This damned Song Bu Ren! I asked him to frame Gu Qinlan, but I didn't expect that he would dare to hurt his own daughter!

Now that things have come to this, don't blame her for turning against you! While this lunatic is still in his ignorance, he must be dealt with immediately to prevent any more complications.

The servants were just about to carry Song Bu Ren away, but unexpectedly, Song Bu Ren slowly woke up at this moment.

Although the drug in his body was still taking effect, the severe pain from the back of his head made him regain some consciousness.

When he found himself tied up, he struggled to raise his head and caught a glimpse of Song. He shouted for help: "Aunt, save me, let them let me down!"

Song was so frightened that she shouted to the servants, "Hurry up and cover his mouth and carry him away!"

At this moment, Gu Qinlan's voice suddenly sounded: "Wait a minute."

When Song saw Gu Qinlan appearing safe and sound, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered: "Why are you here?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and replied, "I was in my yard. I heard some noise here, so I came to take a look."

Song said unhappily, "Then could you please move aside and not block our way?"

At the moment, she had no time to think about why Gu Qinlan was safe and sound. She just wanted to get rid of the waste Song Buren as soon as possible, and then settle her daughter's marriage.

Such a thing happened on such a festive day. If the Ji family knew about it and they used this as an excuse to cancel the marriage, her daughter's reputation would be ruined!

Gu Qinlan said, "Mother, don't worry. I want to suggest that since the officials are all in our house, why not let them interrogate the criminal on the spot? In this way, everyone will understand that Qin Lian was just frightened and nothing else happened."

She approached Gu Dingli and Song and whispered, "Father, mother, there are so many guests here. If we don't explain the matter clearly, I'm afraid rumors will spread all over Yuzhou City the next day. If we let the officials interrogate her on the spot, we can prove Qin Lian's innocence, and no one will dare to say anything about it in the future."

Her tone was sincere, and her face was full of concern for Gu Qinlian.

Gu Dingli thought what she said made sense. If he could prove on the spot that Gu Qinlian's reputation was intact, the impact on the Gu family would be minimized.

However, Song firmly disagreed: "Qin Lian was just frightened. Today is Qin Lian's big day, and we must not delay the auspicious time because of this."

She would never dare to let Song Bu Ren be tried in public. That would be outrageous. He would definitely reveal everything without hesitation to protect himself.

If people knew that she had framed Gu Qinlan, would the Gu family let her go easily? In addition, if Zheng Dinglian investigated the case from Prince Duan's Mansion, could she bear the pressure?

Therefore, the safest strategy is to send Song Bu Ren to the government first.

Gu Qinlan's expression showed deep disapproval: "Madam, although the auspicious time is crucial, Qin Lian's reputation is the most important. Do you want everyone to mistakenly believe that she is guilty? The Ji family attaches great importance to reputation and integrity. If the facts are not clarified immediately, I am afraid that the Ji family will be prejudiced against Qin Lian. In addition, other girls in our Gu family may also be implicated."

Gu Dingli nodded slightly: "Qin Lan is right. This incident has far-reaching implications. It would be best if we could clear Qin Lian's name in front of so many guests."

Song was so anxious that her face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Master..."

Gu Dingli waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's decided. I will go and discuss it with the adults and ask them to try the thieves here."

Song couldn't stop Gu Dingli, so she could only turn around and stare at Gu Qinlan with eyes wide open: "What on earth are you thinking? Do you want to ruin Qin Lian's reputation? How can you be so cruel?"

Gu Qinlan looked confused: "Why would Madam think so? If she doesn't immediately prove that the thief did not damage Qin Lian's reputation, how will others suspect and talk about her? Does Madam want to see Qin Lian being misunderstood by the world and eventually despised by her husband's family?"

Song was speechless for a moment and couldn't respond.

Gu Qinlan sighed softly: "Madam, I know you are panicking because of your concern, but you must not lose your composure. The more critical the moment, the more you need to stay calm. As long as the thief admits his crime, all problems will be solved."

Song's inner pain was beyond words. She knew Song Bu Ren's character better than anyone else. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would sell her out without hesitation.

Sure enough, her worries soon became a reality.

Gu Dingli still has some face in the officialdom. Besides, he is now Zheng Dinglian's father-in-law. Who dares not to give him some face?

As a result, Song Bu Ren was immediately pinned to the ground by the officers and interrogated.

The official Liao had a serious expression on his face and shouted, "You bold criminal, tell me your name quickly. What is your name? Why did you dare to break into the Gu Mansion and commit crimes? Have you hurt any women in the Gu Mansion?"

Song Bu'ren was a timid person who lived by exploiting the Song family. When he heard Lord Liao's interrogation, he instinctively turned to look at the Song family.

Song didn't dare to speak casually at this moment. She could only secretly give her nephew an urgent look, indicating that he should take the blame first.

When Song Bu Ren saw that his aunt seemed to want to put all the blame on him alone, he suddenly became panicked.

The laws of the Western Wei Dynasty were strict. If he was really branded as a flower thief, he would be exiled thousands of miles away.

He is the only heir of this generation of the Qin family and carries all the hopes of the family. He must not make any mistakes!

He thought that no matter what, his parents and ancestors would support him. As long as he remained his usual self, his aunt would not dare to be too harsh on him.

Therefore, he cried out loudly: "My Lord, this is a great injustice! I came here at the order of my aunt. She told me to go to the residence of the eldest daughter of the Gu family, saying that the eldest daughter of the Gu family was waiting there and wanted to form a good relationship with me. I was confused and somehow entered my cousin's courtyard by mistake. I had clearly stepped into the boudoir of the eldest daughter of the Gu family and had met her once."

He was in tears and looked sad, trying to move everyone present with his sincere emotions.
