Upon hearing this, Du Minjun's cheeks flushed with shame. She coughed a few times in embarrassment and clarified:

"Oh, Sister Gu, how can you look at me like this? Although I am attracted to your shop, it is also true that I miss you!"

At the end, Du Minjun nodded sincerely, glanced at Gu Qinlan playfully, and smiled ingratiatingly.

Gu Qinlan couldn't help laughing when she saw Du Minjun's flattering look.

Du Minjun looked at Gu Qinlan's smiling face and couldn't help but admire her sincerely:

"Sister Gu, when you smile you are as beautiful as peach blossoms blooming in spring. What a pity..."

Unfortunately, you are not my sister-in-law!

Thinking about my elder brother, it’s such a pity!

Not to mention that he had been a bachelor for so many years, there was such a beautiful woman right in front of him, but he never noticed it!

If he had known about Gu Qinlan, his beautiful junior sister, earlier, how could Prince Duan have had the opportunity to intervene?

She must go all out and find ways to bring Gu Qinlan back to the family and make her her real sister-in-law!

Gu Qinlan stared at the expression on Du Minyun's face with a deep gaze, mixed with curiosity and teasing, and chuckled, "You are such a talker."

Du Minyun stuck out her tongue mischievously, and then a mysterious light flashed across her face. She lowered her voice and said mysteriously:

"But, dear Sister Gu, you have to be extra careful today."

"Huh? What happened?"

Du Minyun looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention. Then she quietly approached Gu Qinlan and said seriously:

"Do you know that today, the arrogant Princess Linchuan and the talented young lady from the Grand Tutor's Mansion will be here."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan frowned slightly, showing a hint of confusion.

She had heard a little about this Princess Linchuan. She was the beloved daughter of the emperor's fourth brother, Prince Rui, and was known for her arrogance and willfulness! The emperor doted on this niece, even more than all the princesses, which showed her extraordinary status.

As for the daughter of the Grand Tutor, Gu Qinlan had never had any contact with her and only knew that she was a talented woman who was famous for a while.

However, whether it was the Princess of Linchuan or the talented daughter of the Grand Tutor, she had never met them before and had never had any arguments with them. Why did Du Minjun suddenly remind her to be careful?

Seeing Gu Qinlan's bewildered face, Du Minjun couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"My dear sister! Do you really know nothing about this?"

"What should I know?"

Seeing that Gu Qinlan was totally clueless, Du Minjun stamped her feet anxiously and explained patiently:

"Let me tell you, Princess Linchuan and the daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion are both strong rivals of yours! Before you married into Prince Duan's Mansion, everyone thought that they were the only ones who could become the Princess of Prince Duan!"

"They are both infatuated with Prince Duan. Every time they meet, they always engage in a verbal battle. I never expected that you would suddenly break through the encirclement and become the Princess of Prince Duan. Do you think they will let you go easily?"

As Du Minjun spoke, she looked at Gu Qinlan with deep sympathy in her eyes.

In her previous life, Gu Qinlan had never paid attention to or been interested in Prince Duan. Only when Zheng Fenghui and others died tragically and caused an uproar, would she learn a thing or two from the words of others.

As for Prince Duan's romantic affairs, she had no time to pay attention to them, or rather, she had no intention of finding out.

However, these circumstances were not much of a surprise to her.

How could it be possible that a general like Zheng Dinglian, who was young, promising and powerful, had a peaceful and tranquil residence without any women falling in love with him?

Du Minjun stared at Gu Qinlan. Her expression remained calm, without a trace of panic or anxiety, and even seemed a little puzzling. She finally couldn't help but asked softly:

"Sister Gu, you don't seem to be worried at all?"

Gu Qinlan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked calmly:

"What are you worried about?"

Du Minjun looked at Gu Qinlan's calm demeanor, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She immediately explained:

"Aren't you worried that they will cause trouble for you? Or that they have ulterior motives towards Prince Duan and are trying to continue to compete for your husband?"

Obviously, Du Minyun was not willing to share her lover with others.

Gu Qinlan thought for a moment, then answered seriously:

"If they truly admire Prince Duan, then I am willing to take them into the palace on his behalf. Prince Duan has worked hard for the country and the people until now, and it should be his honor to enjoy the company of such a beautiful woman."

"This way, we can satisfy their infatuation and achieve the best of both worlds."

Since she is Zheng Dinglian's principal wife, it is legitimate for him to take a concubine.

Besides, since we have already agreed to let Chu Yingyue join the family, what’s the harm in accepting a few more?

Du Minjun opened her eyes wide and stared at Gu Qinlan as if she saw an alien!

Although it was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, there had never been a woman who could be so calm and take concubines for her husband without even a hint of jealousy.

and……

Du Minyun looked at Gu Qinlan's attitude towards Zheng Dinglian. The relationship between her and her husband was more like a superior-subordinate relationship, rather than a respectful relationship between husband and wife...

This idea is simply inconceivable to ordinary people.

However, what Du Minjun didn't know was that in Gu Qinlan's eyes, there was not much difference between her husband and her boss.

After all, what she pursued was always different.

Her goal is to treat her husband as her boss and hold real power.

How can a subordinate confide his true feelings to his superior?

Du Minyun swallowed and continued to ask seriously:

"But sister, given their backgrounds, how can they be condescended to become concubines?"

Gu Qinlan pondered for a moment, and felt that Du Minjun's words made sense, so he said helplessly, "You are right."

"So to say……"

When Du Minjun heard Gu Qinlan's answer, a glimmer of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Gu Qinlan expectantly.

Gu Qinlan smiled and replied: "Then give them two choices. One is to face the reality and consciously retreat, and the other is to voluntarily lower their status and be willing to be concubines."

Du Minjun stared at the confident smile that gradually blossomed on Gu Qinlan's cold and elegant face, and she didn't think that Gu Qinlan's words were exaggerated or untrue at all!

It seemed that as long as she took action, she could make this matter go smoothly and fulfill her wish.

No matter what, she will stand on Gu Qinlan's side and help her!

Yes, if the so-called Princess Linchuan, or the powerful daughter of the Grand Tutor, dared to attack Gu Qinlan, she would definitely stand up and do her best to protect Gu Qinlan and would never let her be at a disadvantage in the fight!

Perhaps, if it could make Gu Qinlan happy, she would even be willing to give her a prosperous shop as a gift!

However, Gu Qinlan knew nothing about what Du Minjun was thinking.

At this moment, Gu Qinlan gently picked up the jade wine glass with her slender white fingers and slowly rotated it to play with it.

From beginning to end, she felt that someone was staring at her with malicious intent.

She raised her eyes and met a pair of eyes full of resentment.

She was a pretty woman, but her brows revealed deep frustration, and she was staring at Gu Qinlan viciously.
