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

"This way, we can also resolve the misunderstanding between the Minister and his wife."

Minister Dou seemed a little hesitant. This matter was originally a private matter of the Shangshu Mansion, and he did not want Gu Qinlan to get involved too much. However, facing Gu Qinlan's initiative to help, he could not directly refuse, so he turned his eyes to the Shangshu's wife, trying to signal her to refuse with his eyes.

However, the Shangshu's wife was heartbroken at this moment, and she was unwilling to leave any dignity to Shangshu Dou. She glared at Shangshu Dou unhappily, then shook Gu Qinlan's hand affectionately and said:

"We are very grateful for Princess Duan's kindness. Please come this way."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, then followed the Shangshu's wife and left slowly.

When Minister Dou saw this scene, he could not help but stand there in a daze, extremely surprised. He never expected that the Minister's wife would actually ignore him!

In daily life, although the Shangshu's wife was cheerful and not fussy, she never embarrassed him in front of others!

Now, watching them both leave, Minister Dou felt both furious and an indescribable sense of loss in his chest.

Gu Qinlan held the Shangshu Madam's hand, and felt a chill in her palm. He couldn't help but sigh, patted the back of Shangshu Madam's hand, and whispered to comfort her:

"Don't worry, sister. Since you didn't do this, no one can accuse you of this."

After hearing this, the Shangshu's wife's heart moved slightly, and her eyes fell on Gu Qinlan tenderly.

"Do you really believe me?"

The Shangshu's wife's eyes showed gratitude as she stared at Gu Qinlan quietly.

"Of course, although I have only a brief acquaintance with my sister, I know that she has a clear mind and can distinguish between good and evil. Even if she hates that concubine, she would never resort to such despicable means to hurt her."

Upon hearing this, the Shangshu Madam's eyes became moist, and a layer of mist covered her long eyelashes. She said with a trembling voice:

"He and I have been married for ten years, but you and I have known each other for less than half a day..."

The Shangshu's wife recalled the love they had had over the years and thought of the promise Shangshu Dou had made to her...

Even when Aunt Liao was brought into the mansion, she always thought it was just an accident and never doubted her love for Minister Dou.

However, the slap today and the suspicious look from Minister Dou were like a sharp blade cutting her heart.

Years of emotions are ultimately just in vain.

Thinking of this, the Shangshu's wife couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, bit her lips lightly, turned her gaze to Gu Qinlan, and said with a smile:

"I just implicated you, it's really..."

"Sister, it's useless to say this now. Since this matter is not your fault, there must be something fishy. You'd better send someone to collect evidence as soon as possible!"

Gu Qinlan's words were like a wake-up call, which made the lady wake up instantly.

Since Aunt Liao claimed that the problem occurred after eating the bird's nest she sent, she had to start the investigation from that bowl of bird's nest.

The bird's nest was sent from the kitchen of her mother's home and passed down by servants she personally selected, so there was naturally no way there could be any problem.

If this bowl of bird's nest was indeed tampered with, then the truth must be revealed by looking for clues in some unnoticed details that happened in the small kitchen.

After careful consideration, the Shangshu's wife decisively called her trusted maid Qingming and ordered in a firm tone:

"Qingming, you must immediately find out who touched that bowl of precious bird's nest, and bring all the people involved here!"

"Yes, ma'am."

When Gu Qinlan and the Shangshu's wife and their group hurriedly arrived at Aunt Liao's residence, they heard the heart-wrenching wails coming from inside the house:

"Heavens! Save the child! Save the child!"

"Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I must give birth to offspring for you..."

Minister Dou followed Gu Qinlan and the others into the house. When he heard Aunt Liao's crying, his eyes instantly became moist and he rushed to the inner room.

"Master, you can't go in here. This is the delivery room, filled with blood. I'm afraid it will desecrate your noble body!"

An elderly maid stepped forward to stop them, looking anxious.

Minister Dou stopped and listened to the shrill wailing coming from the delivery room. He was anxious and asked hurriedly:

"How is Aunt Liao doing now?"

"Madam is in premature labor, the baby is not yet full-term and is in critical condition. She just wants to save the baby. Master, what should we do..."

The nanny spoke anxiously, while turning her gaze to Minister Dou.

As the nanny spoke, Aunt Liao's screams in the delivery room became more and more shrill, which made people feel pity.

After hearing this, Minister Dou became unsteady and took a few steps back, then he roared at the servants around him:

"We must save Madam Liao's life! If anything happens to her, none of you will survive!"

"As you command! The servants understand."

The nanny responded quickly and then hurried back to the delivery room.

Minister Dou clenched his fists, turned to the Minister's wife, his eyes full of disappointment and reproach, and said in a heavy tone:

"Are you satisfied?"

Facing such a question, the Shangshu's wife's eyes flashed with indifference, and she smiled contemptuously and replied:

"Your Excellency is wrong. The person has not yet died. Even if I want to be happy, it is too early."

"Dongfang Huiyi! How did you become so cruel? You are not like this in my memory!"

Minister Dou was shocked by his wife's words, feeling a mixture of anger and disappointment.

"The me of the past? Dou Hongwei, your idea is too absurd! How much do you know about me?"

The atmosphere between Minister Dou and his wife became increasingly tense, almost on the verge of breaking out.

The next moment, a surprised scream suddenly came from the delivery room!

"The baby is born! The baby is born safely!"

At that moment, the nanny who had just delivered the baby rushed out of the delivery room holding the newborn baby tightly, knelt on the ground anxiously, and reported in a trembling voice:

"My Lord, the young master...is completely dead..."

Minister Dou's body shook violently, his eyes fell on the baby in the cradle who was already dead, and he almost fainted on the spot.

At the same time, Aunt Liao's heart-wrenching cry came from the delivery room:

"My child, sir, how could our child leave us like this!!!"

Minister Dou didn't care about anything else and rushed into the delivery room with his emotions out of control!

The Shangshu's wife gritted her teeth and followed closely with a stern expression.

Only Gu Qinlan glanced at the baby in the nanny's arms, narrowed her eyes, then gestured to her eye bags, whispered something, and then slowly walked into the delivery room.

As soon as I stepped into the delivery room, a strong smell of blood hit me in the face.

Gu Qinlan gently raised the silk handkerchief in her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and her eyes fell indifferently on Aunt Liao, who was holding Minister Dou's hand tightly and whose face was as pale as paper.

Aunt Liao's beauty was indeed admirable. Her willow-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes were full of waves, and there was a gleam in her eyes that seemed to want to say something but was hesitant. At this moment, she said with a sad face:

"Master, I am useless. I failed to protect our child... wuwuwu..."
