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

"How can a man like you discuss this with our young lady? If outsiders hear it, wouldn't it be the end of our young lady's life?"

After hearing this, Jiang Boyi finally shut his mouth helplessly and dared not argue with Xiang Zhu anymore.

Just as Xiang Zhu said, Zheng Dinglian has returned, and he is Gu Qinlan's legitimate husband.

If his words reached Zheng Dinglian's ears and caused Zheng Dinglian to misunderstand Gu Qinlan, it would be a great harm to Gu Qinlan.

Jiang Boyi opened his mouth, glanced at Xiang Zhu secretly, and then whispered to Gu Qinlan:

"In short, you have to know what's going on in your mind and never let yourself down."

While the two were talking, a servant rushed in and said nervously:

"My king, my princess, the owner of Siming Tower is waiting outside the door right now, and he has handed over a visiting card..."

Gu Qinlan raised her eyebrows and exchanged glances with Jiang Boyi, who couldn't help but jokingly said:

"Hey, I didn't expect that the people in Siming Tower are so particular about etiquette and rules!"

Gu Qinlan chuckled, took the visiting card and opened it. She saw the name at the end, written in strong strokes, just like the person's unrestrained personality. Gu Qinlan couldn't help muttering to herself:

"Xinyi Shewu..."

Soon, a man in blue clothes and wearing a silver mask appeared in Gu Qinlan's sight.

His long hair was tied up at an angle, with a few small braids scattered on his shoulders. He had a blue feather earring on his ear and a string of bells around his waist. The bells made crisp sounds when he walked, adding a bit of exotic charm.

Xinyi Shewu walked up to Gu Qinlan, clenched a fist and lightly pressed it against her chest, bowed to Gu Qinlan, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, opened her red lips slightly, and spoke in a gentle and charming voice:

"Shao Shang has seen Princess Duan. I never thought she was so beautiful, like the reincarnation of the Goddess of Luo River."

Gu Qinlan looked up at Xin Yishewu with a perfect smile on her face, motioned him to sit down, and then slowly said:

"Although Luoshen is beautiful, she has a tragic fate. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for Young Master to compare me to Luoshen, isn't it?"

When Xin Yishewu heard this, his eyes hidden under the mask could not help but flash with a strange light. When his eyes fell on Gu Qinlan again, he could not help but ask in surprise:

"Shewu may have been careless with his words, but...why did Princess Duan call me Young Master?"

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly. While pouring fragrant tea for Xinyi Shewu, she slowly explained:

"This Siming Tower has been around for at least thirty years. It is said that when the owner of Siming Tower first built this tower, he was already thirty years old. Now another thirty years have passed, so he should not look as young as you."

"Besides, according to legend, the owner of Siming Tower had a son when he was forty, and his only son was proficient in music. I noticed that there were obvious calluses on the fingertips of the young owner's left hand, so he must be good at playing the guqin, so I made this guess."

The information about the identity of the young master of Siming Tower was actually learned by Gu Qinlan by accident in his previous life.

After hearing this, Xin Yishewu couldn't help but smile softly. He looked up and down at Gu Qinlan and said with some interest:

"Princess Duan's reputation is well-deserved. No wonder she was able to subdue all of my useless subordinates."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, and did not continue to delve into this topic, but went straight to the point:

"Since Young Master has come to visit, I believe you value the cooperation I proposed?"

The content of the letter that Gu Qinlan wrote to Xin Yi Shewu was actually very concise, containing only two Chinese characters - "all-inclusive".

So, what does it mean to take all?

The Third Prince will have to pay a heavy price for hiring the assassin from Siming Tower.

The biggest difference between the killers of Siming Tower and other killers is that not only are they expensive, but once they die in the course of a mission, the buyer must pay double the amount as funeral expenses.

However, this caused heavy losses to the killers of Siming Tower. If they wanted to train excellent killers again, they would need not only money but also time.

In this incident, Gu Qinlan captured more than half of Siming Tower's Class A killers. Her purpose was to send a warning to Siming Tower. She has the strength and ability to make all of Siming Tower's killers return empty-handed!

Even...if one comes, kill one; if two come, kill two!

If Siming Tower really doesn't care, then it can continue to send assassins.

But by then, relying on the power of Gu Qinlan or Prince Duan's Mansion, the strength of Siming Tower's branch in the capital would probably be severely damaged!

Siming Tower needs to carefully consider whether the price offered by the Third Prince is enough to make up for its losses...

Xin Yishewu naturally understood Gu Qinlan's hidden meaning when he heard this, but he still shrugged his shoulders with some helplessness and said seriously:

"Princess Duan, you should know that the reason why Siming Tower has been able to stand firmly in the martial arts world for thirty years is entirely due to its unwavering credibility!"

"However, the mission you entrusted to us is indeed somewhat...unconventional. If this matter were to be leaked, I'm afraid the reputation of our Siming Tower would be ruined."

Gu Qinlan had sensed from Xin Yishewu's tone that he was already yearning for the plan she had proposed. She knew that his hesitation at the moment was just to gain a little promise from her.

Then, Gu Qinlan smiled and stared at Xinyi Shewu, and said in a firm tone:

"Young Master, you are worrying too much. As long as you really send out your men, the strength of the assassin will naturally depend on your word. No one outside has access to our internal list, so how can they know the truth?"

"Besides, if someone does know this secret, doesn't that mean there is a traitor inside Siming Tower? Isn't this a great opportunity for you to eliminate internal troubles and consolidate your strength?"

After Xinyi Shewu heard this, he was silent for a moment, glanced at the useless subordinates beside him, then stood up and said with a happy smile:

"Princess Duan is very wise. May I ask how the benefits of this cooperation will be distributed?"

"Half each." Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and responded firmly.

"Half? Princess Duan, this is our person..." Xin Yishewu asked in surprise.

"Didn't we also act out a play together with you, Young Master?" Gu Qinlan retorted neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Xin Yishewu looked at Gu Qinlan, who had no intention of retreating, and could only smile helplessly and appreciatively:

"Princess Duan is really a shrewd businessman. Then why don't we... work together?"

Xin Yishewu agreed to cooperate with Gu Qinlan. For Gu Qinlan, all the hard work that night finally paid off.

Afterwards, the two discussed the details of the cooperation in detail, and both sides were satisfied. Xinyi Shewu was ready to leave with satisfaction.

But before he was about to leave, he glanced at the Siming Tower assassins imprisoned by Gu Qinlan, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and then turned to Gu Qinlan and asked:

"So, they..."

"Si Ming Tower is well-known in the world. I have to leave something behind as a token of sincerity for our cooperation, right?" Gu Qinlan said calmly, with determination in her eyes.
