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

Zheng Fengyun heard this conversation at the door, raised his hand and shouted excitedly:

"I know, sir! I know!"

Jiang Boyi was amused by the boy's shouting and hooked his index finger lightly.

Zheng Fengyun seemed to have been granted amnesty. He hurriedly left Dou Qianqian, ran quickly to sit next to Jiang Boyi, and said excitedly:

"I've seen that Xu Yunxuan before. She's very pretty! I heard that she used to be, um, an otaku!"

After a short pause, Zheng Fengyun curiously asked, "Sir, what does 'Oiran' mean?"

Jiang Boyi's face suddenly darkened. He picked up the folding fan in his hand and tapped Zheng Fengyun on the head gently, saying:

"So many questions, why don't you get out and keep kneeling!"

"Ah? Didn't I do something good? Shouldn't the merits and demerits offset each other?"

Zheng Fengyun looked at Jiang Boyi in astonishment, as if he had been betrayed.

Jiang Boyi was amused by his naivety. He put the folding fan on the table, picked up the ruler and shook it, and said seriously:

"Good things are good things, bad things are bad things. Who told you that they can cancel each other out?"

Jiang Boyi picked up two pieces of cake and stuffed them into Zheng Fengyun's arms, then pointed outside the door and said:

"Your merit is here, your punishment is there."

Zheng Fengyun held the pastry, his mouth twitching slightly, but he finally returned obediently to Dou Qianqian and knelt down.

Dou Qianqian saw Zheng Fengyun return in a huff and said with satisfaction: "You left me behind! You deserved it!"

Zheng Fengyun glanced at Dou Qianqian, handed her a piece of cake, and said sincerely:

"I am different from you. You wish I was in trouble, but I always have you in my heart. We are brothers who share the same suffering. We should work together to face difficulties together."

When Dou Qianqian heard this, her still young face was immediately shrouded in guilt. She stared at the delicious cake in her hand, and said with a tremor in her voice:

"Feng Yun, you are really a trustworthy person..."

Before she finished her words, Dou Qianqian took a bite of the pastry, a gleam of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Zheng Fengyun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stretched out a hand to show it to Dou Qianqian, and said softly:

"This steamed cheese with sugar is 10 taels of silver per portion, which is a fair price."

For a moment, Dou Qianqian almost wanted to spit out the pastry in her mouth!

She had expected this in her heart. How could Zheng Fengyun suddenly become so kind?

At the same time, Jiang Boyi was pondering the mystery of the identity of Gu Qinlan, while Zheng Huiyi beside him was tasting pastries and said leisurely:

"Hui Yi, I have heard something."

"Oh?"

"Prince Duan's Mansion donates a sum of money to Mo Yunzhai every month. The amount is one thousand taels of silver! It's like this every month!"

Zheng Huiyi said this while enjoying the delicious pastries.

"Is it like this every month?"

"Yes, Huiyi, I have secretly looked through the account books in the mansion, and this cannot be wrong."

After a short pause, Zheng Huiyi couldn't help but ask Jiang Boyi curiously:

"I've heard Housekeeper Lou mention this before. This is probably someone your father keeps outside the home. What exactly is a concubine?"

Zheng Fenghui felt a headache when he saw Jiang Boyi's face becoming more and more gloomy. He picked up a piece of cake and blocked Zheng Huiyi's mouth, and shouted in a low voice:

"Shut up."

Zheng Huiyi was full of doubts, why did she keep silent? However, seeing Jiang Boyi's gloomy face, she chose to swallow her doubts back into her stomach.

She was young and ignorant, and although she didn't know what a concubine was, she could tell from Jiang Boyi's expression that it was not a glorious thing...

Otherwise, the gentleman wouldn't be so angry.

And at this time.

Inside the flower hall of Prince Duan’s Mansion.

The first time Gu Qinlan met Xu Yunxuan face to face.

This meeting was clearer than the last glimpse behind the screen.

She was wearing a bright red long dress with wide sleeves, and pink plum blossoms were embroidered on the hem and chest, which looked both delicate and proud.

Her delicate makeup highlights her stunningly beautiful face, and the flower ornaments on her forehead make her look even more charming.

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but admire in her heart that the woman who could be kept by Prince Duan must be extraordinary.

Before Gu Qinlan opened her mouth, Xiang Zhu's rage almost burst out. She stared at Gu Qinlan fiercely, rubbed her eye bags, and muttered in a low voice:

"You come to pay respect to the mistress, yet you dare to wear bright red? Isn't this obviously an attempt to take advantage of her?"

Wocan gently tilted his head, his expression revealing deep recognition, and slowly responded: "Don't be in a hurry, after she leaves, I will quietly follow her and teach her a lesson."

"That's a good idea, but remember not to let her know it was us who did it."

"Well, let's do it this way. Prepare a sack."

Gu Qinlan naturally heard the whispers of the two maids behind her clearly. She felt helpless, but couldn't help but smile playfully.

Then, she turned her head, her eyes clear as water, and said to Gu Qinlan with a smile and a calm tone:

"Miss Xu, is that so?"

After a brief moment of daze, Xu Yunxuan finally regained consciousness and quickly bowed respectfully to Gu Qinlan, saying apologetically:

"Just now I saw Princess Duan, she was graceful and elegant, like a fairy from the Moon Palace descended to the mortal world. I was distracted for a moment and lost my composure, so I made the princess laugh."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhu and Wo Can could not help but exchange glances, their eyes full of disdain.

This concubine is so eloquent that she even knows how to flatter their Princess Duan!

Gu Qinlan smiled and asked softly, "Miss Xu, what brings you to Prince Duan's mansion today?"

In fact, when Gu Qinlan sorted out the shops in the mansion last time, he did not find any clues in the shop deed of Mo Yunzhai.

She speculated that the shop should be in Xu Yunxuan's hands.

It seems that Prince Duan's favor for Xu Yunxuan is extraordinary.

However, Xu Yunxuan was so beautiful that even Gu Qinlan herself felt that she was poetic and picturesque, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Xu Yunxuan was feeling uneasy at the moment. She didn't want to set foot in Prince Duan's mansion, but she had no choice but to solve the current dilemma as soon as possible. There were still many people in the family who were crying for food, and she really couldn't delay any longer.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yunxuan carefully considered her words and started the conversation:

"In fact...in the past, Prince Duan's Mansion would give a sum of money to Mo Yunzhai every month to show support."

"However, I recently learned that the steward of the palace has been replaced. Perhaps the replacement was too hasty, resulting in the new steward not having time to properly hand over relevant matters. Therefore, I had to take the liberty to come to the palace to find out..."

Hearing this, Xiang Zhu instantly became furious and clenched his teeth, making a "clicking" sound!

How dare this enchanting woman who came from nowhere come to the house in bright red clothes to provoke the mother of the owner of the house and even dare to ask for money?

Gu Qinlan, however, looked normal. He glanced at Xu Yunxuan with deep eyes, and said in a deep tone:

"Could it be the monthly expenditure of one thousand taels of silver?"

"That's true..."

Xu Yunxuan felt a little uneasy. Gu Qinlan looked friendly, but whenever she looked into his eyes, she could not help but feel a sense of pressure.
