Reborn to be replaced? Remarried to the royal palace, raising children and training husband

Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is one of the four most prestigious noble families in Jindu.

Inside Rongxi Hall, the mahogany furniture exudes a faint sandalwood scent, and the exquisite screens painted with landscape scrolls make the entire hall appear solemn and elegant.

Gu Qinlan sat at the top, wearing a lavender silk dress with delicate patterns embroidered on the lapels, looking gentle and generous.

Her stepmother, Mrs. Song, sat below her, and on her left was her third sister, Gu Qinlian, and the two were discussing marriage.

Song looked at Gu Qinlan and said with a smile, "Qinlan, Prince Duan's Mansion and Jizhou Ji's Family are both interested in marrying into our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. I think it would be most appropriate for you to marry into Jizhou Ji's Family. The Ji family is a family of scholars with a deep heritage. I have also seen the son of the Ji family. He is talented and gentle, and is a perfect match for you."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and did not answer. Instead, she turned to look at Gu Qinlian. Seeing that she looked a little unhappy, she asked, "Qinlian, what do you think?"

Gu Qinlian frowned and said with some resistance: "I don't want to marry Prince Duan, that sickly guy. Everyone knows that he is a jade-faced Shura who is sick all day long. I don't want to marry him. I would rather marry the son of the Ji family. The people in their family are upright and kind, and I like them more."

Song frowned slightly when she heard this. She tried to comfort Gu Qinlian: "Qinlian, you don't understand. The status of Prince Duan's Mansion is prominent and it is of great help to our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Moreover, Prince Duan has a gentle personality and will definitely treat you well."

Gu Qinlian was displeased. She shook her head firmly and said, "I don't care. I just don't want to marry Prince Duan. I want to marry the son of the Ji family."

At this time, Gu Qinlan spoke calmly: "Sister Qinlian, the 'sickly person' you are talking about is Prince Duan?"

Gu Qinlian was stunned when she heard this, then immediately shut her mouth and did not answer.

Then he glared at Gu Qinlan, turned around and dragged Song away from the flower hall, obviously deliberately avoiding Gu Qinlan, intending to talk to the mother and daughter in private.

Gu Qinlan sat comfortably on the rosewood chair, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her lips slightly raised.

Soon, Song returned with Gu Qinlian.

Song walked into the hall calmly, and Gu Qinlian followed closely behind her, with a barely perceptible hint of pride in her eyes.

Gu Qinlan still maintained the original sitting posture, motionless, with a calm and indifferent smile on his face.

Song coughed lightly, waved to Gu Qinlan, and said, "Lan'er, come here."

Gu Qinlan then slowly stood up and walked in front of Song. Song's eyes dodged and she said with a guilty look, "Lan'er, I just thought about it carefully and feel that the marriage between Qin Lian and Prince Duan is not the best choice. After all, Prince Duan is of noble status, and Qin Lian is not as rude as you. I'm afraid it will offend Prince Duan's mansion."

Gu Qinlan's face changed and she asked in surprise, "Mother, what do you mean?"

Song glanced at her calmly and continued, "I've made the decision. I'll give you this excellent marriage in Prince Duan's Mansion. What do you think?"

When these words came out, Gu Qinlan was suddenly stunned.

She didn't expect that Song would suddenly make such a request!

Gu Qinlan chuckled and said, "Mother, you are joking. How can my daughter be worthy of Prince Duan? Let my sister take care of the marriage."

Song quickly shook her head and said, "Qin Lan, you misunderstood me. I am not asking you to accept this marriage reluctantly, but I think you and Prince Duan are more suitable."

Gu Qinlan bit her lip and said, "Mother, I met Prince Duan once before, but I didn't have a good impression of him at that time. Now mother wants to marry me to him, and I'm worried that I won't be able to do the job."

Song gently patted Gu Qinlan's shoulder and said, "Qinlan, you are a smart child. I believe you can handle the relationship with Prince Duan well. Besides, Prince Duan is an upright person. You should like him."

Gu Qinlan was slightly startled, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, then she nodded and said calmly: "My daughter will follow my mother's arrangements."

Song nodded with satisfaction, a look of relief in her eyes: "Qinlan, I am very pleased that you are so sensible."

Seeing this, Gu Qinlian, who was standing by, curled up the corners of his mouth and revealed a sinister and intriguing smile.

Gu Qinlan turned and left, suddenly restraining the smile on her face, with a hint of contempt revealed between her brows.

She realized one thing: her sister Gu Qinlian was also reborn like herself!

So, does she also understand the causes and effects of her past life like herself?

In her previous life, she married Ji Yinli, the eldest son of the second branch of the Ji family in Jizhou, and assisted him to climb up the cabinet step by step. Her sister Gu Qinlian was full of jealousy and dissatisfaction with her. After her sister married into the Prince Duan's mansion, the Prince Duan was injured and paralyzed in a fierce battle. From then on, his temperament changed drastically and his temper became bad, making her life extremely difficult and treading on thin ice.

The three step-sons were difficult to discipline, the sister-in-law mocked and excluded her, and the mistress, who was as pure as a white lotus, was secretly stirring up trouble behind the scenes. In the end, Gu Qinlian ended up with a miserable end and died with her eyes open.

After her rebirth, Gu Qinlian did not want to marry into the Duke of Duan's mansion and suffer again, but chose another path, a path that seemed to have a bright future but was actually full of thorns along the way - the Ji family! And she unceremoniously threw the hot potato of the Duke of Duan to Gu Qinlan.

However, to Gu Qinlan, what is poison to others is sweet honey in her heart.

After entering Prince Duan's Mansion, she was able to play the role of stepmother without worries. There was only an amiable old princess and her sister-in-law who was about to get married in the mansion.

Besides, Prince Duan’s days are numbered. Isn’t the future of the entire palace entirely in her hands?

This is undoubtedly better than running around Ji Yinli and constantly cleaning up the mess for him.

Of course, there is one thing that cannot be ignored...

Gu Qinlan will never forget how she and her maternal family, the Gao family of Luzhou, spared no effort to support Ji Yinli.

However, when Gao encountered difficulties, Ji Yinli resolutely divorced her in order to avoid being implicated!

Gu Qinlan wanted to see whether Ji Yinli could still stand out from the crowd and reach the top of the imperial examination without her help, as he was such a cold-blooded man.

Soon, there was laughter and joy in the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, with loud drums and music, as they welcomed the auspicious day of their daughter's wedding.

On that day, the streets and alleys of the capital were crowded with people, who rushed to witness this grand event.

Gu Qinlan looked coldly at Song's hands holding Gu Qinlian's. Tears welled up in her eyes and her lips trembled. It seemed that there were thousands of words stuck in her throat: "Lian'er, the dream you mentioned before..."

Hearing this, Gu Qinlian quickly made a gesture to keep quiet, and did not forget to glance at Gu Qinlan not far away as if to guard against thieves, and said solemnly: "Mother, just relax! In the future, you will witness me become a first-rank imperial lady, showing supreme glory and splendor!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you..."

Gu Qinlan gazed at the warm scene of the mother and daughter, the corners of her lips slightly raised, revealing a hint of sneer, but she said nothing.
