The wife of Marquis Dingyuan couldn't help but take another look inside the carriage, only to see that there was no one else in the carriage except Zheng Fengyun!

She couldn't help but question out loud, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone:

"Where is Gu Qinlan?"

"Where is your mother? Didn't you ask your mother to come and greet us in person?" Gu Qinlian also spoke up, with obvious displeasure suppressed in her voice.

When Zheng Fengyun heard this, his eyes shot towards Gu Qinlian and Marquis Dingyuan's wife like sharp arrows. He looked them up and down, a look of disdain appeared on his face, and he said in a cold tone:

"My mother is very busy and has to serve my grandmother. How can she spare the time to come and see you? I took out my precious time from my busy schedule to greet you. Are you dissatisfied?"

The wife of Marquis Dingyuan was originally angry, but when she thought of Zheng Fengyun's identity, she had to suppress her anger and said in a gentle tone:

"How dare we express any dissatisfaction with Second Young Master Zheng's visit? We just feel deeply disturbed by the Second Young Master Zheng's precious time, and we feel really uneasy."

"Humph, you know you're disturbing me, but why did you delay for so long? If you were properly dressed, it would be pleasing to the eye, but you've dressed yourselves up like an old woman in her seventies with all her makeup on. Not only does it not add to your beauty, it makes you look even more ridiculous."

After being reprimanded, the wife of Marquis Dingyuan's expression changed unpredictably like a color palette, and she instantly lost her original warmth!

Gu Qinlian gently patted the wife of Marquis Dingyuan on the shoulder and rebuked Zheng Fengyun with a firm gaze:

"You are so rude. Don't you know to call my mother grandma? Is this how you treat your grandmother?"

Zheng Fengyun's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He looked at Gu Qinlian in surprise and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Where did this grandmother come from? I remember my grandmother came from a famous family, so noble! How could she be so tasteless? She thought that wearing jewels and precious stones could show her nobility? Besides..."

At this point, a trace of panic flashed in Zheng Fengyun's eyes. He glanced at the wife of Dingyuan Marquis and continued:

"I remember that my grandmother has been sleeping in the ground for many years. In broad daylight, you said that if my grandmother showed up, wouldn't it be terrifying? Unless my grandmother was unwilling to accept her grievances, she would turn into a fierce ghost and seek justice in broad daylight."

As Zheng Fengyun spoke, he crossed his arms over his chest, shuddered, looked around, and his face was as pale as paper.

When Lady Dingyuan heard this, her face suddenly turned pale as snow, as if the temperature around her had dropped a few degrees. She said in a trembling voice:

"How is this possible? My sister died of postpartum disorders. How could she die with her eyes open?"

Zheng Fengyun had long lost his patience with this, so he simply said:

"Alright, alright, I don't want to waste my breath on you guys. Time is running out, are you going or not?"

Gu Qinlian was about to get on the carriage angrily, but was stopped by the wife of Marquis Dingyuan.

The wife of Marquis Dingyuan forced a smile and said to Zheng Fengyun gently, "There is no need to trouble Mr. Zheng to go there in person. We can go there on our own."

"Really?" Zheng Fengyun smiled sincerely upon hearing this, and then teased:

"Then don't complain to my mother, okay? I came here specially to pick you up, and you gave up riding in my carriage. You can't blame me for that! If you dare to go and argue with my mother, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"That's natural, that's natural..."

The wife of Marquis Dingyuan tried her best to maintain her smile and remain calm.

Seeing this, Zheng Fengyun returned to the carriage with satisfaction and told the driver to set off:

"Set off."

Zheng Fengyun's carriage slowly drove away. Gu Qinlian finally couldn't hold back any longer. She looked at the wife of Marquis Dingyuan in confusion and asked:

"Mother! Why did you let him go? If he left, would we still be able to enter the palace?"

Lady Dingyuan Marquis seemed not to hear Gu Qinlian's question. The only sound in her ears was her own thunderous heartbeat.

She looked around and couldn't help asking Gu Qinlian: "Qinlian, tell me, do ghosts really exist in this world?"

Gu Qinlian was confused by the question from Marquis Dingyuan's wife, but she thought of her own experience of rebirth and could not help but frown and answer, "Maybe?"

"Yes? Yes..." Upon hearing this, the wife of Marquis Dingyuan turned even paler.

At this moment, Gu Qinlian finally noticed that there was something wrong with the wife of Marquis Dingyuan. She reached out and held the wife's hand, but felt it was as cold as ice.

"Mother? What's wrong with you? Are you so angry with that kid?"

Mrs. Dingyuan took a few deep breaths and finally regained some of her sanity. She shook her head and said:

"Forget it, let's go on our own. Gu Qinlan obviously doesn't want us to rely on their names. However, your father will surely make great achievements on the front line, so it shouldn't be difficult to bring you into the palace."

"As ordered..."

royal palace.

Gu Qinlan helped Princess Duan get off the carriage, looked up at the majestic and magnificent imperial palace, and couldn't help but fall into a moment of confusion.

Even though she had been to the palace in her previous life, when she came back this time, she still couldn't help but admire its luxury and magnificence!

The red walls and green tiles are shining, the jade-white railings, and the finely carved bluestone base are both elegant and solemn, bright and magnificent!

However, at this moment, a sharp and piercing voice pierced the air, and a eunuch walked forward quickly, with a smile on his face and an extremely respectful attitude.

Princess Lao Duan and Gu Qinlan quickly returned the greeting. Princess Lao Duan smiled and said gently:

"The Queen is kind and benevolent. I am really grateful that you have come to greet me personally."

The eunuch responded modestly: "Old Princess, you are too kind. Prince Duan is a great hero in the Western Wei Dynasty. It is only natural that he should be treated with such courtesy."

The palace was so vast that it would take half an hour to walk to the Queen's Kunning Palace. It was a great honor to ride in a sedan chair in the palace, a treatment not available to ordinary people.

Even when Gu Qinlan was the spouse of a first-rank official in her previous life, she had never enjoyed such honor. In an instant, Gu Qinlan understood the difference between Ji Yinli and Zheng Dinglian.

There may be countless first-rank officials in the world, but there can only be one God of War!

If Ji Yinli hadn't had her support, he wouldn't have been able to reach that peak, but Zheng Dinglian was completely different...

With his bravery and wisdom, he fought with his life on the battlefield and achieved great success!

His achievements not only benefited his own family, but also enabled the general public to live and work in peace and contentment!

Thinking of this, Gu Qinlan became more curious about Zheng Dinglian. In her impression, he should be a cold and resolute general, but she wondered if he was so easy to get along with in daily life?

Soon, Gu Qinlan and Princess Lao Duan arrived at the gate of Yufeng Palace. They stepped off the sedan chair, and Gu Qinlan immediately gave Xiang Zhu a look.
