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

Soon, the Shangshu's wife was impressed by Gu Qinlan's wisdom. She couldn't help but hold Gu Qinlan's hand and said excitedly:

"Mrs. Gu, listening to your profound speech is better than my ten years of hard study!"

Gu Qinlan responded modestly: "What I said is just some superficial opinions. Besides, Mr. Dou has a kind heart and I don't think he would do anything that goes against the principles of heaven and conscience."

Few mothers would feel unhappy when others praise their children, and the Shangshu's wife is no exception.

Although Dou Qianqian often caused her trouble, she behaved quite filially most of the time and was not hopeless.

however……

As a legitimate son of the Shangshu Mansion, he cannot be so unruly forever.

This thought lingered in the Shangshu's wife's mind, causing her face to involuntarily be tinged with a hint of sadness.

Gu Qinlan keenly caught the sadness in the Shangshu's wife's eyes. Although she was full of curiosity, she suppressed her inner impulse and did not ask rashly.

After all, it is not appropriate to have deep conversations when the friendship is still shallow. This is a taboo in interpersonal communication.

At this moment, a servant came hurriedly and reported in a panic:

"It's terrible, Madam. Madam Liao is having severe abdominal pain and she's even bleeding. I'm afraid, I'm afraid the baby in her belly... is in bad condition!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the Shangshu's wife stood up suddenly and ordered nervously:

"Quick, go get a doctor right away!"

Dou Qianqian is the only child in the Shangshu's mansion. Over the years, Shangshu Dou and his wife have had a deep relationship, and there are no other concubines in the mansion.

But just a few months ago, it was rumored that Shangshu Dou met his dream girl from his youth, and lost control of his emotions, causing the woman to become pregnant.

In order to give the child a legitimate status, Minister Dou brought the woman into his house and made her his concubine.

And this Liao Yi Niang who was about to have a miscarriage was the concubine who had just entered the family a few months ago...

Gu Qinlan didn't want to interrupt too much as this was someone else's family affair, so she planned to take Zheng Fengyun and leave first.

"Since there is an urgent matter in my sister's house, Feng Yun and I will not disturb you, so..."

Gu Qinlan stood up, and before she could finish her words, a man walked up to the Shangshu's wife with steady steps and fierce momentum, and waved his hand and gave her a loud slap!

The sound of "bang" was deafening!

The Shangshu's wife's hairpin fell off and her head tilted back. Fortunately, Gu Qinlan reached out and held her in time to prevent her from falling.

The Shangshu's wife covered her cheek, turned to the man in astonishment, and asked in disbelief:

"Dou Hongwei! How dare you hit me?"

The visitor was none other than the Minister of Revenue, Dou Hongwei.

After he started, he realized his impulsiveness and wanted to apologize, but he seemed to remember something, his face darkened, and he said angrily:

"Huiyi! How many times do you want me to repeat this? I only have a responsibility to Xiaoxiao. She is just a concubine in the mansion and there is no way she can shake your position as your wife! Why do you keep targeting her?"

After she lost everything, if she had no children to accompany her in this illustrious Shangshu Mansion, how would she spend the rest of her life alone? How could you be so cruel? You even refused to let go of the baby in her belly! That child is also your blood relative!!!"

Dou Hongwei's angry rebuke was like a biting north wind in the cold winter, which made the Shangshu's wife's face as pale as paper.

She stared at him blankly as if she was seeing Dou Hongwei for the first time, but her tone was surprisingly calm:

"Dou Hongwei, you accuse me of targeting her repeatedly? If I really wanted to harm her, how could she have set foot in the Shangshu Mansion?"

"You mentioned that she only has her child to rely on, and I nourish her with delicious food every day. Have I ever complained?"

"You accuse me of harming the fetus in her belly? In my heart over the years, have you been such a cruel person who can't even tolerate a baby?"

The Shangshu's wife's voice was trembling, and every question she asked was as deep as tears of blood, pointing directly to Shangshu Dou's soul.

Minister Dou opened his mouth, seemingly overwhelmed by this sudden question.

A maidservant beside him saw this and cried out in tears:

"Sir, our concubine Liao was originally pregnant, but after eating the bowl of bird's nest given by the Madam, she has been suffering from unbearable abdominal pain!"

"The doctor has just examined the bowl of bird's nest and found that it was mixed with a large amount of peach kernels and musk! My lord, you must do justice for my aunt!"

After hearing this, Minister Dou once again cast his gaze on his wife. His lips moved slightly, but before he could say anything, his wife sneered in response:

"So, I gave her the bird's nest with good intentions, but it brought disaster upon me? If I tampered with the bird's nest, why didn't I just put arsenic in it and solve the problem once and for all?"

"You..." Shangshu Dou was extremely angry. He pointed at the Shangshu's wife with trembling fingers, but he was speechless.

Gu Qinlan also felt a headache. She didn't expect that she would be involved in the private disputes in the Shangshu Mansion.

She really wanted to turn around and leave at this moment, but...

Gu Qinlan looked at the sadness on the Shangshu's wife's face, and thought of the Shangshu's wife's sincere feelings for her just now, and finally she couldn't bear to leave.

She sighed softly, gently took the Shangshu's wife's hand and squeezed it tightly.

The Shangshu’s wife felt Gu Qinlan’s warm gesture, her eyes welled up, and she turned to look at Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan gave the Shangshu's wife a subtle look, then slowly turned to Shangshu Dou, with a gentle tone that could not be ignored:

"Your Excellency, your criticism of the Minister's wife is not as important as visiting Aunt Liao in time. The pain of miscarriage is like walking on the edge of life and death. It would be inappropriate if the master is not by your side."

It was not until this moment that Minister Dou really noticed Gu Qinlan's presence. He frowned and asked in confusion: "Who are you...?"

Gu Qinlan smiled gently, bowed slightly, and said in a calm tone: "I am Princess Duan."

Upon hearing this, Minister Dou's expression immediately changed, and he looked embarrassed, and said with some stammering:

"It turns out that it is Princess Duan who has come to visit. How rude of you to do so..."

Changing the subject, he cast a reproachful look at the Shangshu's wife: "Why didn't you tell Princess Duan earlier that she was here?"

The Shangshu's wife sneered, glanced sharply at Shangshu Dou, and said sarcastically:

"Tell? If I had the chance to tell, the Minister would not have punished his wife for a concubine as soon as he entered the house. How could he take Princess Duan seriously when he is so majestic?"

Minister Dou was speechless for a moment after being ridiculed by his wife. He was unable to refute and could only turn to look at Gu Qinlan with an unnatural smile on his face:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess Duan. My wife's words and actions were indeed inappropriate..."

However, Gu Qinlan frowned slightly, interrupted him, and said firmly:

"Madam Shangshu has a straightforward personality and a sincere heart. I admire her very much."

After a brief pause, Gu Qinlan glanced at Minister Dou and continued:

"Since Madam Liao is in critical condition, my maid happens to be a bit knowledgeable in medicine. Why not let her go and see her? Perhaps she can save Madam Liao and the baby in her belly."
