Reborn to be replaced? Remarried to the royal palace, raising children and training husband
Chapter 228 Abandonment
The so-called evil dog was not an evil dog at all, but an evil woman!
This newly married woman into the Ji family had been causing chaos and causing no peace not long after she entered the family!
Not only did she make him suffer impeachment from Zheng Dinglian, she also openly expressed her love to Zheng Dinglian right under his nose!
A newly married woman actually falls in love with another man. How is this different from openly cuckolding her nephew?
Thinking of this, Ji Chaoli took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, stood up, saluted to Zheng Dinglian, and said directly:
"The new wife of the Ji family has spoken rudely. Please calm down, Prince Duan, Princess Duan, and the old Prince Duan. Gu Qinlian, why don't you kneel down and apologize to Princess Duan?"
Ji Chaoli's tone was cold, like a biting chill.
Gu Qinlian was so frightened at this moment that she began to tremble uncontrollably.
After all, Marquis Dingyuan was her father, so she was naturally not afraid, but Ji Chaoli was different.
Now that she has become a member of the Ji family and her in-laws have heard her ridiculous remarks with their own ears, can she still have an easy life in the Ji family?
What's worse is that she obviously can no longer cling to Zheng Dinglian. If she offends Ji Yinli again, even her chance of obtaining the first-rank imperial edict will be in vain!
So, Gu Qinlian quickly knelt on the ground, clenched her teeth, kowtowed deeply to Gu Qinlan, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth:
"It was my younger sister who spoke without thinking, please forgive me, elder sister!"
At this time, Gu Qinlian represented not only the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but also the entire Ji family.
Gu Qinlan naturally would not put any pressure on Ji Chaoli. After all, they were officials in the same court. Since Ji Chaoli had already given enough face to Zheng Dinglian, she naturally would not embarrass Ji Chaoli.
Gu Qinlan smiled and said to Ji Chaoli in a gentle tone:
"Master Ji, there is no need to be too reserved. You are in charge of the Ministry of War and have always been on good terms with my Prince Duan."
"My prince Duan is on a campaign, and thanks to Lord Ji, you stayed behind to ensure that the baggage was safe. Here, on behalf of my prince Duan, I would like to thank you for your integrity."
"Therefore, Lord Ji, you don't need to take this little matter to heart. It will naturally not affect the deep friendship between you and my Prince Duan."
Zheng Dinglian sat in a wheelchair, looking at Gu Qinlan with a smile in his eyes.
Her words were humble and polite, which was both dignified and made people dare not underestimate her.
After hearing what Gu Qinlan said, Zheng Dinglian turned to Ji Chaoli and said with a smile:
"What the princess means is what the king means."
After hearing what Gu Qinlan said, Ji Chaoli was surprised and impressed, and couldn't help but cheer for Gu Qinlan silently in his heart.
The speech of the Princess Duan was like a finely crafted jade article. It not only cleverly preserved the reputation of the two families, but also subtly linked Ji Chaoli and the Prince Duan's Mansion closely.
She was praising Ji Chaoli's integrity, but in fact she was implicitly warning him not to rashly excuse Gu Qinlian.
What is particularly amazing is that although there is a threat between the lines of Gu Qinlan's reminder, it makes people feel like a spring breeze and there is no sense of discomfort at all.
Ji Chaoli couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Such a talented bride should have been the treasure of the Ji family.
If his nephew could marry such a beauty, then the reputation of the second branch of the Ji family would not be so skewed!
As the saying goes, marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful woman will bring prosperity to the family. It is no wonder that Prince Duan is so respectful to Princess Duan at this moment.
Although he felt a little regretful, Ji Chaoli still stood up slowly, bowed deeply to Zheng Dinglian and Gu Qinlan, and said solemnly:
"Princess Duan's good advice is in my mind. Since that's the case, I will not bother you any more."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, glanced at Gu Qinlian, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then said to Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian:
"Prince Duan and Princess Duan, please rest assured that I will strictly discipline the naughty children in my family when I return, and will never allow them to hurt innocent people again."
Zheng Dinglian smiled and said, "I am ill and cannot see you off in person."
Ji Chaoli kept being polite, his eyes fell on Gu Qinlian again, and he said solemnly: "Why don't you come back with me?"
Gu Qinlian had lost her initial arrogance at this moment, and she didn't even have the mood to pretend to be pitiful. She could only look at Dingyuan Hou with hope, expecting him to say a few good words for her.
However, Dingyuan Hou had already made up his mind. He said to Ji Chaoli:
"Excuse me, dear relatives. It's all because of my wife's poor parenting that Qin Lian behaved inappropriately. Since she has married into the Ji family, no matter how the Ji family treats her, our mansion will have no say."
Gu Qinlian looked at Marquis Dingyuan in shock and despair!
She understood that Marquis Dingyuan had given up on her!
In order to curry favor with Gu Qinlan and the others, Marquis Dingyuan actually abandoned her so decisively!
Doesn't Marquis Dingyuan know what kind of situation she will face if she returns to the Ji Mansion at this moment?
Logically speaking, if Marquis Dingyuan could say a few more words in her defense, the Ji family would not have gone too far no matter what.
But now, Marquis Dingyuan's words were clearly meant to draw a line between him and her!
How could he be so heartless?
Ji Chaoli nodded slightly to Marquis Dingyuan with a forced smile, and without saying anything, he directly signaled his servants to carry the already weak Gu Qinlian away and leave Prince Duan's Mansion.
Yao wanted to step forward to help, but under the sharp gaze of Marquis Dingyuan, she dared not make any sound.
Seeing this, Marquis Dingyuan turned to Zheng Dinglian and the others and wanted to say something, but Zheng Dinglian had already revealed his impatience and waved his hand and said:
"Let's stop here for today. For the sake of the princess, I don't want to make things difficult for you. However, if you do it again next time, don't blame me for being rude."
"Prince Duan is right. When I return to the Marquis' Mansion, I will definitely teach my humble wife a lesson. But..."
Dingyuan Hou smiled with a flattering look on his face. He paused for a moment, glanced at Gu Qinlan, and then said in a roundabout way:
"Your Majesty has not yet rewarded those who have made contributions in this battle. I wonder when Prince Duan will submit the memorial?"
As soon as Marquis Dingyuan said this, Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian immediately understood his intention.
He was asking Zheng Dinglian to say a few good words for him when writing the memorial.
On the scale of interests, Gu Qinlian's existence is nothing more than a tiny weight. Once faced with the temptation of greater interests, even blood ties seem insignificant.
Zheng Dinglian glanced at Gu Qinlan, as if silently asking for his opinion on how to deal with Gu Qinlan.
Dingyuan Hou, this old man, keenly caught Zheng Dinglian's subtle movements and immediately turned his gaze to Gu Qinlan, as if he had something to say, but Gu Qinlan had already taken the initiative and said calmly:
"Public affairs are handled impartially, while private affairs are reserved. Prince Duan is fair and selfless, and his merits and demerits are clear. Marquis Dingyuan does not need to worry too much."
Marquis Dingyuan heard the alienation in the way Gu Qinlan addressed him and felt a little displeased.
He has not yet been recorded in the royal genealogy, and this son has already seemed so cold to him!
However, Gu Qinlan's words still comforted him a little.
As long as Zheng Dinglian remembers his contribution, then he can leave a mark in the future reward memorials, and what happened today will not be in vain.
