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

"Xiaoxiao, stop crying. You just gave birth and you are weak. You must take good care of yourself. Children, we will have others."

Minister Dou held Aunt Liao's soft hand, his eyes full of concern and love, and his tone was so gentle that it was touching.

Gu Qinlan looked two steps ahead, gazing at the affectionate Shangshu Madam Dou and Aunt Liao with a sad face, sighed softly, then walked to the Shangshu Madam and called softly:

"elder sister……"

"When he brought me home, he told me that everything was just a drunken mistake and that I was the only one he loved in his heart... I chose to believe him."

"He promised that they would only have this one child, and that he would never let me down. I... also chose to trust him."

"But now, he has made new promises to her, promising that they will have more children! He seems to have forgotten the promises he made to me. Can human hearts... change so quickly?"

The Shangshu's wife spoke slowly and calmly, but tears were already falling uncontrollably.

Gu Qinlan felt a pain in her heart. She held the Shangshu's wife's cold hand tightly and gently wiped away her tears.

"People's hearts change easily, and it's hard to be loyal and chaste, but the beauty of the journey, sister... after all, the one you should cherish most is yourself. If you give up here, how will young Master Dou cope with it?

Most men in the world are fickle and always prefer women who seem weak.

The Shangshu's wife has a strong character, but is too stubborn and easily broken. She is probably the only one who is at a disadvantage in front of Aunt Liao.

When the Shangshu's wife listened to Gu Qinlan's words, she couldn't help but think of Dou Qianqian, and her face instantly showed a bit more determination.

Yes!

How could she bow to fate so easily?

Even for Dou Qianqian, she had to stand up straight! She couldn't let Aunt Liao throw dirty water on her!

Before the Shangshu's wife could speak, Aunt Liao looked at her with a somewhat resentful look and said in a trembling voice:

"Madam, why did you frame me and my child? I just want to protect my child quietly and watch you and the master happy and healthy, and I will be satisfied. But..."

"Madam, are you unwilling to leave me even this tiny wish?"

Aunt Liao was in tears, and she looked so touching that it seemed as if a breeze could blow her away, which made Minister Dou feel very distressed.

Minister Dou gently hugged Aunt Liao to comfort her, turned his head to look at the Minister's wife, took a deep breath and said:

"Xiaoxiao, this is Huiyi's fault, don't blame her. I asked her to apologize to you, Huiyi..."

The Shangshu's wife sneered, looked up and down at Shangshu Dou and Aunt Liao, and said sarcastically:

"Apologize? What have I done wrong? You want to apologize to a lowly concubine as a wife? Dou Hongwei, you are planning to favor your concubine over your wife! You are so bold!"

The heavy hat of "favoring concubines and ignoring wife" was put on Shangshu Dou's head. If those honest officials knew about it, they would definitely submit memorials to impeach him!

Minister Dou glanced at Gu Qinlan with some fear. Seeing that Gu Qinlan just stood quietly by the side without saying anything, he gritted his teeth and said angrily to the Minister's wife:

"Dongfang Huiyi! Why are you always so tough? Why can't you be a little softer? Is it so difficult to admit your mistakes?"

"Gentle? Only your concubine can do such things as a prostitute! I am the daughter of the general of the cavalry, I dare to do and take responsibility!"

"I did it, so it's not my fault. You and your good friend 'Xiaoxiao', don't even think about throwing dirty water on my head!"

When Gu Qinlan heard the Shangshu's wife say this, for some reason a look of unyielding pride suddenly appeared on her face!

At this moment, Gu Qinlan seemed to be able to travel through time and space, witnessing the freedom and unfettered life of the Shangshu's wife before she entered the marriage hall!

Indeed, even if a woman from a prominent family enters a wealthy mansion, how can she let go of her pride?

Shangshu Dou seemed to be shocked by the aura of his wife at this moment. He stared at her blankly, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Aunt Liao, who was standing by, saw this and hurriedly grabbed Minister Dou's arm. She said in a trembling voice, with some grievance and helplessness:

"Master, forget it. Don't create a rift between you and Madam because of me. It is me and my child who are not blessed enough..."

"How is it possible? How could my child and my woman be so unlucky? Your good luck is still to come!" Shangshu Dou was moved by Aunt Liao's tears. He immediately put aside his guilt towards the Shangshu's wife, held Aunt Liao's hand tightly and comforted her.

Witnessing all this, the Shangshu's wife was so angry that her eyes were about to burst, her body was shaking, and she almost fainted on the spot. Fortunately, Gu Qinlan reached out in time, stabilized the Shangshu's wife, and gently pressed her palm on her Fengchi acupoint, so that she did not faint on the spot.

After the Shangshu's wife calmed down, Gu Qinlan winked at Qingming who had hurried over, and said softly to the Shangshu's wife:

"Sister, we must put the overall situation first..."

The Shangshu's wife looked at Gu Qinlan gratefully, thanked him softly, and then turned her gaze to Qingming.

Qingming nodded slightly to her. The Shangshu's wife took a deep breath, looked at Shangshu Dou and Aunt Liao, and said sarcastically:

"Don't you want to know the truth, sir? Qingming, let's start."

Only then did Minister Dou and his aunt turn their gaze to Qingming who had walked in.

Qingming stepped forward and bowed, then signaled his servants to push a tied-up maid in front of everyone.

When the maid was pushed forward, Aunt Liao's eyes fluctuated slightly, then returned to calm, and she just glanced indifferently at her personal maid Lidong.

This subtle eye contact goes unnoticed by anyone, only those who are careful can see through it.

Minister Dou frowned, looked at Qingming and the maid behind him, and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"

After paying respects at Qingming Festival, he answered slowly:

"Sir, the bowl of bird's nest that Aunt Liao used today was indeed taken from our Madam's kitchen."

"However, I have sent someone to retrieve the remaining bird's nests and had them examined by the palace doctor. It is confirmed that the bird's nests in the kitchen are not mixed with any harmful substances such as peach kernels or musk!"

If Aunt Liao firmly believed that the miscarriage was caused by the bird's nest, then the only explanation was that the bird's nest met with an unforeseen hand on its way to delivery!

"The maid we sent to Aunt Liao was named Bai Lu. However, when Bai Lu was carrying the bird's nest halfway, she suddenly felt an unbearable stomachache. Xia Zhi, a maid from Aunt Liao's room, happened to pass by. So Bai Lu had no choice but to hand over the bird's nest to Xia Zhi."

Gu Qinlan listened to the clear, orderly, concise and clear statement of the facts. In just a few words, the truth was revealed.

In this way, the suspicion of the Shangshu's wife was greatly reduced!

From this we can see that Qingming is indeed a talented person who is good at handling affairs.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinlan slowly spoke up to defend the Shangshu's wife to Shangshu Dou, firmly and forcefully:

"Minister Dou, the minister's wife is straightforward, but she is definitely not stupid. If she really wanted to harm, how could she be so stupid as to use her own things to openly attack this concubine? How could she not know that this move is too obvious and will easily arouse suspicion?"
