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

At this time, Gu Qinlian came over with a hint of disdain in her eyes, and said coldly: "Sister, why do you have to show off here? It's just because you are lucky. Otherwise, with your talent, how could you marry into Prince Duan's mansion?"

Gu Qinlan frowned, but soon regained her composure. She looked at Gu Qinlian and said calmly, "Third sister, I know you are unhappy, but marriage is all about fate. I don't mean to show off, I just think you should learn to respect your elders."

Gu Qinlian snorted, still unconvinced: "Respect your elders? Sister, when have you ever respected me?"

Seeing this, the cousins ​​tried to persuade her: "Third sister, what are you talking about? Don't you think your sister cares enough about you?"

Gu Qinlian sneered: "Caring? It's just superficial politeness. If she really cared about me, how could she plot against me behind my back?"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned, not knowing what to do. Gu Qinlan's face was also a little ugly, but she still suppressed her anger and said calmly: "Third sister, you misunderstood. I never meant to plot against you. Everything is a misunderstanding."

Gu Qinlian looked at Gu Qinlan coldly: "Misunderstanding? Sister, do you think I will believe you?"

Gu Qinlan was too lazy to argue with her and found a comfortable chair to sit down.

Gu Qinlian curled her lips in disdain, rolled her eyes at Gu Qinlan, and snorted, "Gu Qinlan, do you think your beauty can help you gain a foothold in Prince Duan's Mansion? Don't forget, the mistress of the house should focus on managing the household, not just pleasing others with her looks."

Gu Qinlan heard this, her eyes moved, she sneered, and asked back: "Third sister, are you mocking me? Have you ever thought about whether you have the ability to manage the household affairs?"

Gu Qinlian's face changed slightly, and her heart tightened, but she still insisted: "I naturally have this ability, but the time has not come yet."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, his eyes were like torches, and he looked directly at Gu Qinlian: "Well, let me ask you, do you know what it means to be in charge of the household expenses?"

Gu Qinlian frowned and replied, "To be in charge of the household finances is to manage the family finances and ensure the family's livelihood is worry-free."

Gu Qinlan nodded and asked, "Then do you know how to manage the family finances?"

Gu Qinlian hesitated for a moment and replied, "Of course, this requires careful budgeting and reasonable arrangement of household expenses."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "It is certainly important to be thrifty and make reasonable arrangements. But the most important thing is to know how to judge people and how to manipulate their hearts. If people's hearts are unstable, even if you are good at financial management, it will be difficult to manage the family well."

Gu Qinlian looked unhappy and felt a little flustered. She knew that what Gu Qinlan said was true. However, as the wife of the eldest son of the second branch of the Ji family, it was not easy for her to gain the power to manage the family.

Seeing that Gu Qinlian looked unhappy, Gu Qinlan smiled secretly in her heart and said, "Third sister, have you ever thought about why the elders of the Ji family treat you coldly?"

Gu Qinlian bit her lip and whispered, "It's because I am of low status and a concubine's daughter."

Gu Qinlan smiled gently, patted Gu Qinlian on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "It's not your fault that you are of low status, but if you want to gain a foothold in the family, you must learn how to let the elders see your value."

Gu Qinlian's eyes flashed with confusion. She knew that Gu Qinlan was right. But she still felt unwilling and couldn't help asking, "Does it mean that I can only rely on my husband?"

Gu Qinlan shook her head and said, "It is important to rely on your husband, but you also have to do something yourself. You have to learn how to establish your own prestige in the family and let everyone see your ability. Only in this way can you gain the recognition of the family."

Gu Qinlian was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in her mind. She knew that every word Gu Qinlan said made sense.

At this time, Gu Qinlan said again: "Third sister, beauty is not useless, but it can only serve as a stepping stone for you. If you want to gain a foothold in the family for a long time, you must cultivate both inside and outside to truly win the respect of others."

Gu Qinlian's eyes flashed with a trace of hesitation, then she straightened her chest and said confidently: "I am right, Yinli will achieve great things in the future, and I will become the wife of the Prime Minister and enjoy unlimited glory."

Hearing this, Gu Qinlan sneered, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said sarcastically: "Third sister, you are daydreaming? Ji Yinli is just a poor scholar, how dare you imagine him becoming the prime minister? What a joke!"

Gu Qinlian's face flushed with shame, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but thinking of the pain of being taught a lesson by Gu Qinlan before, she suppressed her anger and lowered her head and said, "Eldest sister, you may be right, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and things in the world are unpredictable. I believe in Ji Yinli's ability."

Gu Qinlan glanced at Gu Qinlian with contempt, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "People's hearts are hard to predict? Things in the world are hard to predict? Third sister, are you making excuses for yourself? I think you are bewitched by Ji Yinli, so you say such a ridiculous thing."

Gu Qinlian bit her lower lip, feeling more and more ashamed and angry, but still insisted: "Eldest sister, I am not blindly confident. I can see clearly Ji Yinli's talent and character. One day, he will definitely stand out."

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with impatience, and she raised her voice: "Okay, okay, okay! Just wait and see whether Ji Yinli can become the Prime Minister as you wish. But before that, you'd better restrain your tail and stop making people laugh."

Gu Qinlian gritted her teeth, her heart becoming more determined. She looked up at Gu Qinlan, her eyes gleaming with determination: "Sister, I will remember your warning. But please also believe that one day, I will make you look at me with new eyes."

At this moment, the fifth daughter of the second house, Gu Qinping, who had always been very close to Gu Qinlian, stepped forward and looked at Gu Qinlan without looking away and said, "Cousin, why are you so proud? The old princess has always loved you. If you can win her favor, the power to run the family will naturally fall into your hands."

Gu Qinlan frowned slightly, and she looked at Gu Qinping with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Gu Qinping didn't care, and she continued, "Besides, His Royal Highness Duan has a childhood sweetheart. If you lose the favor of the old princess, I'm afraid His Royal Highness Duan will also distance himself from you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Gu Qinlan. Some people had a hint of sympathy in their eyes, while others were gloating. Gu Qinlan's face turned a little ugly. She stared at Gu Qinping with a hint of anger in her eyes.

"Qin Ping, what do you mean?" Gu Qinlan's voice was cold, and she tried hard to hide her anger.

Gu Qinping narrowed her eyes, looked at Gu Qinlan, and said with a smile: "Cousin, I just want to remind you that the childhood sweetheart of His Royal Highness Prince Duan has extraordinary means. If you lose the favor of the old princess, she will definitely take the opportunity to seize your power as the head of the family."

Gu Qinlan's expression became even uglier. She clenched her fists tightly and her eyes became firm. "Of course I won't let her succeed."
