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

"If Wocan hadn't brought reinforcements in time, and Madam Dou hadn't happened to come to Prince Duan's Mansion to pick up Dou Qianqian, you would probably have died by now, waiting for me to collect your body!"

Jiang Boyi's tone became increasingly intense, and his angry eyes revealed his worry and helplessness towards Gu Qinlan.

"Cousin, you are good in everything except your strong personality!"

"You always bear any grievances and thoughts silently by yourself, and are unwilling to confide in others!"

"I know that your life in Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion is not easy. Even though it seems glorious on the surface, your life must be full of hardships under the control of your stepmother!"

"But every time you come back, you are always smiling and have never told us that you have been wronged! You are so sensible that I admire you and feel sorry for you."

"Because I know your tenacity, I love you even more deeply! Not only do I want to make up for my aunt's regret, but I also admire you because of your own strength."

But now, she chose to take the risk alone and was even unwilling to tell him a thing. In addition to endless worries, Jiang Boyi was filled with deep pain.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Boyi's eyes involuntarily fell on Gu Qinlan, and with a hint of doubt in his tone, he asked:

"In your heart, is your cousin such a person that you cannot trust and rely on?"

Gu Qinlan stared at Jiang Boyi's slightly red eyes, and her heart couldn't help but be moved.

She was a little confused and didn't understand why Jiang Boyi was so angry, but she couldn't help but respond softly:

"Cousin, that's not what I meant..."

After a brief pause, Gu Qinlan felt that this explanation seemed a little thin, so she tried her best to explain her reasons:

"The situation was urgent at the time, and I had not yet made a firm conclusion, so I was unable to inform you in time."

"Then when you sought help, why did you only think of asking Dongfang Hongye for help, but ignored me?" Jiang Boyi's tone revealed obvious dissatisfaction.

"We chose Sister Dongfang because she has won the favor of the emperor. The 1,000 elite soldiers under her command are all veterans of the military who have been through many battles and are well-trained. Only they can rush to the rescue in the shortest possible time."

Jiang Boyi couldn't help feeling frustrated as he watched Gu Qinlan explain his views in a detailed and easy-to-understand manner.

Arguing with this girl is like hitting an egg against a stone.

Could it be that he didn't know that at that moment, borrowing people from the General Zhengxi was the best option?

He knew that Qin Lan was different from other women. She was too rational and could always put aside her emotions and calmly analyze the pros and cons at any time, just like a calm and composed man...

Jiang Boyi looked at Gu Qinlan's confident look in his heart, filled with anger but unable to find a way to refute!

In a rage, he took off his cloak and threw it directly at Gu Qinlan. The cloak covered her whole body. He said in a cold tone:

"This matter has already involved the collusion between Bei Zhai and Western Wei officials, and it will definitely cause a huge disturbance! Since you are already involved, there is nowhere to escape! Instead, you have implicated me!"

Today, Jiang Boyi took out the token bestowed upon him by the emperor. Once the emperor learns of this, he will certainly summon him to the palace to meet him.

By then... these leisurely days will probably be gone forever.

Gu Qinlan looked at Jiang Boyi's back as he turned and left, and couldn't help but call out loudly: "Jiang Boyi, where are you going?"

Jiang Boyi waved his hand and replied, "Where else can I go? Of course I'm going to clean up this mess for you!"

Gu Qinlan watched Jiang Boyi climb onto his horse and chase after Dongfang Hongye. She wrapped her cloak tighter around her and turned to ask the girl beside her:

"Jiang Boyi should have listened to my explanation, right? He is no longer angry, right?"

Wocan held the long sword in his hand, thought for a moment, and said very seriously: "My cousin seems to be even angrier."

Inside Prince Duan’s mansion, the night deepened and the candlelight flickered.

As soon as Gu Qinlan and others stepped through the door, they were surrounded by a group of people whose expressions of concern were evident in their words.

"Wow! Mother, are you okay? Let Huiyi take a closer look to see if there is any damage."

"Mother, I heard that you encountered Bei Zhai's spies today? You should take me with you. I can definitely help you defeat them!"

"Mother's clothes are soaked. You should go back to the house, take a bath, and change into clean clothes. Servant, go and make a bowl of ginger soup for mother."

Gu Qinlan looked at the group of little ones who surrounded her and cared for her. A warm feeling surged in her heart and the feeling of fatigue disappeared instantly.

She gently stroked the children's heads and asked softly, "It's so late, why don't you go to bed? Are you waiting for me?"

"How can we sleep peacefully without our mother?" Zheng Fenghui answered seriously, like a little adult. This immediately caused the children around him to nod their heads like parrots, echoing in unison:

“I couldn’t sleep at all.”

At this time, Princess Duan was looking at her grandchildren with surprise.

She knew these little guys inside out—

On weekdays, they seem docile, but in fact they are very scheming and don't easily get close to others.

however……

In such a short period of time, they have become so close to Gu Qinlan?

Princess Lao Duan was surprised, but also felt a little more gentle and understanding.

After all, interpersonal relationships shouldn't be so complicated. As long as you treat the other person sincerely, how can the other person remain indifferent?

She then smiled and said jokingly:

"You little things only see your mother. How can you ignore an old woman like me standing here?"

When the children heard this, they all turned around, their eyes full of flattering light, and immediately surrounded him:

"That's not true! Grandma, we've always missed you!"

"Yes, yes! Grandma, Feng Yun missed me so much that he couldn't even eat. He lost a lot of weight!"

"Grandma, are you feeling well?"

Princess Lao Duan looked at these lovely children with a smile and gently scolded:

"You've lost weight? I see your face has become rounder, Fengyun."

Zheng Fengyun was stunned, and quickly covered his chubby face with his hands, trying to hide it, blinking his eyes and defending himself aggrievedly:

"Grandma must have made a mistake!"

Princess Lao Duan smiled softly, pinched Zheng Fengyun's face, and said gently: "Yes, yes, yes, grandma must have made a mistake."

In a quiet corner, Xiao Wenyin stared at the harmonious scene of Gu Qinlan, Zheng Fengyun and others, but an unbearable fire of jealousy surged in her heart. The harmonious atmosphere was like a sharp thorn in her eyes, making her feel extremely painful.

Especially, in the past, even though Zheng Fengyun and the others had a close relationship with her, they had never been so unconcealedly intimate, and always kept a certain distance. However, now, after only a short period of time, Gu Qinlan seemed to have exerted some kind of invisible charm on them, and easily won their hearts...
