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

Gu Qinlan returned home on time today, which was really beyond Gu Qinlian's expectation.

In addition, Zheng Fengyun, who has always been naughty, actually called her mother affectionately. What is going on?

Gu Qinlian was puzzled.

Gu Qinlan pointed at Gu Qinlian who was standing there in a daze, and introduced her to Zheng Fengyun with a smile: "This is my third sister, Gu Qinlian. Today is also the day she returns home, you should call her Third Aunt."

Zheng Fengyun frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Gu Qinlian, and he looked at her carefully. Gu Qinlian was wearing a lavender dress, with high cheekbones and a full forehead. Compared with Gu Qinlan's gentle beauty, she did look a little sarcastic.

"Mother, this..." Zheng Fengyun hesitated, raised his eyebrows, and asked in confusion: "Why does Third Aunt look so sarcastic and mean, but not as pretty as mother?"

Gu Qinlan laughed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Gu Qinlian came back to her senses and was furious when she heard this. Just as she was about to explode, Marquis Dingyuan and his wife came out to smooth things over. They said to Zheng Fengyun with a smile, "Second Young Master, why are you so angry? We are all family. Is there anything we can't talk about in a peaceful way?"

Zheng Fengyun's expression eased slightly, but he was still a little dissatisfied. He glanced at Gu Qinlian and snorted coldly, "I just can't stand some people saying bad things about Prince Duan's Mansion behind their backs. My father fought bravely on the front line for the people of Western Wei. Could it be that she is questioning my father's loyalty?"

The wife of Marquis Dingyuan frowned slightly, exchanged glances with Marquis Dingyuan, and then softly comforted Zheng Fengyun: "Second Young Master, you misunderstood. Qin Lian is young and hot-tempered, and her words may be a little inappropriate, but she definitely did not mean to offend. Your father has made great contributions to the country, and we all know it."

Dingyuan Hou also advised: "Fengyun, your father's achievements are unmatched, and we all admire him. But you also know that women always speak without restraint. You don't have to take it to heart."

Zheng Fengyun sneered: "Grandfather, grandmother, I know you love Third Aunt, but the reputation of Prince Duan's Mansion cannot be insulted casually. I am here today to ask her to apologize for what she just said."

Gu Qinlian blushed. She didn't expect that her words would cause such a big disturbance. She was a little flustered, but she still defended herself: "Master Fengyun, I did say that, but I didn't mean any harm. I just think that the Duke of Duan's Mansion is so glorious that sometimes they get too complacent."

Zheng Fengyun's eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "Aunt, are you questioning my father? Do you know how much effort he has put in for our Western Wei?"

Gu Qinlian bit her lip and whispered, "I know that His Royal Highness Prince Duan has made great contributions to the country, but I just think that people should always be humble. The Prince Duan's Mansion is now extremely powerful. If we are too arrogant, I am afraid it will attract criticism."

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly awkward, the wife of Marquis Dingyuan hurried out to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, everyone stop talking. Feng Yun, Qin Lian, we are all family, is there anything that can't be said in a peaceful manner?"

Dingyuan Hou also said: "Calm down, everyone. Let's just treat today's incident as a misunderstanding. Don't mention it again in the future."

Zheng Fengyun was very stubborn. He crossed his arms and said coldly, "If Third Aunt doesn't apologize, I won't be able to get over this anger!"

Dingyuan Hou glared at the bewildered Gu Qinlian and shouted, "Hurry up and apologize to Zheng Fengyun!"

Gu Qinlian trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked extremely aggrieved. She bit her lower lip, slowly walked to Zheng Fengyun, lowered her head and said, "Zheng Fengyun, I'm sorry, I made you feel wronged."

Zheng Fengyun looked at her coldly, his eyes full of indifference, and his tone was even colder: "Do you think that an apology can make up for your guilt towards your mother? Do you think that your apology can make me stop hating you?"

Gu Qinlian's face became paler and her body trembled more violently. She didn't know how to respond and could only silently endure Zheng Fengyun's accusations.

Dingyuan Hou came over, frowning, and looked at Zheng Fengyun seriously: "Fengyun, the matter is over, what else do you want Qin Lian to do?"

Zheng Fengyun turned his head and looked at Marquis Dingyuan with a sharp gaze: "My Lord, I know you love Qin Lian, but the nature of this matter is different. Not only did she wrong me, but she also caused great harm to my mother, the mistress of the Prince Duan's Mansion. As a son, I cannot sit idly by and watch my mother suffer."

Dingyuan Hou was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said: "Feng Yun, you are right, Qin Lian did go too far this time. But she has already apologized to you, can't you give her a chance?"

A trace of struggle flashed in Zheng Fengyun's eyes, but he quickly covered it up firmly: "My Lord, I gave her a chance, but she didn't cherish it. Since she can't recognize her mistakes, I can only make her pay the price."

"That's right!" Gu Qinlan glanced at Marquis Dingyuan and his wife with a sharp gaze, and said in a cold tone: "As the Princess of Duan, I have never been unfair to Gu Qinlian. However, she dared to slander the Prince of Duan's Mansion like this. If I let her go easily, wouldn't it make the world think that the Prince of Duan's Mansion is easy to bully?"

Upon hearing this, the wife of Marquis Dingyuan's face turned even more livid. She suppressed her anger and tried to explain: "Qin Lan, you really misunderstood. Qin Lian is ignorant. She is just young and outspoken. How could our Marquis Dingyuan Mansion be ignorant of etiquette and dare to be disrespectful to Prince Duan's Mansion?"

Gu Qinlan sneered, his eyes as cold as ice: "If that's the case, then please ask Madam to severely punish Gu Qinlian to correct the family tradition. Otherwise, I will have to report this matter to the emperor in person and let His Majesty make the decision."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Dingyuan's face instantly turned gloomy and he looked panicked.

What Gu Qinlan said was true. If the emperor really knew about this, the reputation of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would be greatly damaged.

He pondered for a moment, gnashing his teeth and said, "Princess, you are right. Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion is indeed lax in discipline. We will definitely deal with this matter seriously and will never let Princess down."

When Lady Dingyuan heard her husband say this, she knew she could no longer defend herself. She gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "This little girl is ignorant and should be punished. I will go back and teach her a lesson later. I will let her know what etiquette and respect are."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Dingyuan Hou: "Father, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Dingyuan Hou pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, it is better to confine Gu Qinlian to the mansion and let her reflect on her mistakes. As for the reputation of Prince Duan's Mansion, our Dingyuan Hou Mansion will come to apologize to show our sincerity."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said, "Father is very thoughtful. I'll trouble you then."

The wife of Marquis Dingyuan was unwilling but unable to refute, so she had to nod her head and agree.
