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

The areas covered are rich and varied, from literary cultivation to martial arts training, from the mysterious five elements and eight trigrams to the magical art of disguise, to exquisite ventriloquism and concealment skills...

The twelfth prince needs to master an additional profound knowledge - the emperor's mentality.

This tight and heavy study schedule is indeed a huge pressure for these children.

However, because they were able to pursue the knowledge they desired, despite being physically and mentally exhausted, no one complained about giving up. Instead, they all had firm beliefs, which made Gu Qinlan feel sincerely gratified.

After all, the family's glory, wealth, reputation, etc. are only temporary and fleeting.

But the abilities and wisdom that are internalized into oneself are eternal wealth!

Even if Prince Duan's Mansion really falls into decline one day, they will be able to find their place in the world and live a fulfilling life relying on the skills they have learned.

Xiang Zhu listened quietly, answered softly, and then couldn't help but sigh:

"It is really lucky for the young master and young lady to have such careful planning by you."

Hearing this, Gu Qinlan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, shook his head slightly, and said slowly with a hint of melancholy:

"Actually, I am lucky."

If it weren't for these children who accompanied her every day, entertaining her with their filial piety and mischief, she would probably have collapsed after learning the truth about their mother's death.

At this moment, Eyebags came running over to report:

"Miss, Jiang Jinhu wants to see you."

Gu Qinlan was slightly stunned, and she knew that Jiang Jinhu's visit must be because she had instructed him to deal with the Yao family's business. So, she ordered the servants to bring Jiang Jinhu into the inner room.

Gu Qinlan hadn't seen Jiang Jinhu for a while. He had grown a lot taller. His childish face had gradually lost its youthfulness due to his busy business these days, and was replaced by the calmness that only a teenager could have. Even his skin color had become darker due to the sun.

"Meet the princess!"

Jiang Jinhu's eyes immediately brightened up the moment he saw Gu Qinlan. He knelt down and saluted without hesitation with a respectful expression.

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and raised her hand to signal him to stand up: "No need to be so polite. You are here today for the Yao family's business, right?"

After hearing what Gu Qinlan said, Jiang Jinhu immediately stood up politely and began to report fluently.

It turned out that the Yao family had two main profitable shops in the capital, one was the Yao Silk Shop and the other was the Yao Restaurant.

The fabrics sold by Yao’s Silk Shop are high-quality raw materials shipped from the south of the Yangtze River. Due to their superior quality, their prices are naturally high.

After learning that Gu Qinlan intended to take action against the Yao family, Jiang Jinhu took the initiative to place a large number of orders, and clearly stated that if the goods were not delivered in breach of contract, they would have to pay five times the purchase price, and required the Yao family to deliver the goods within three days.

The Yao family was naturally ecstatic when they saw such a huge business opportunity.

However, the inventory in Beijing was limited, so they had to rush to Jiangnan to replenish the stock.

But Jiang Jinhu had already sent people to the Jiangnan silk merchants and cleverly set up obstacles, making it impossible for the Yao family's goods to reach the capital smoothly!

As for Yao's Restaurant, the solution was simpler and more direct. Jiang Jinhu opened a branch of Taibailou across the street and took advantage of the opening of the new store to launch numerous promotional activities.

For a time, it attracted many customers, making Yao's Restaurant deserted.

After listening to this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly and asked curiously:

"Since you have handled it properly, I guess you didn't come to me this time to ask me for advice, right?"

Jiang Jinhu scratched his head slightly embarrassedly and asked frankly:

"It is indeed not for the princess to decide, but I want to ask for clarification."

"Oh?"

"Does the princess intend to continue to keep the Yao family?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with surprise as she stared at Jiang Jinhu.

She originally asked Jiang Jinhu to deal with the Yao family just to punish them a little and make them feel uncomfortable.

But Jiang Jinhu's question now made her heart move, and she couldn't help asking:

"If I decide not to let the Yao family continue to exist, are you sure you can do it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinhu immediately nodded firmly and replied:

"As long as the princess doesn't want them to stay, I promise to make them disappear completely!"

Jiang Jinhu made this trip because he was unsure of Gu Qinlan's intentions.

He was not sure whether Gu Qinlan merely wanted to teach the Yao family a lesson or intended to eradicate them completely, so he came in person to ask.

Now that he had received clear instructions from Gu Qinlan, Jiang Jinhu's thoughts immediately became clear.

Gu Qinlan's eyes penetrated the mist of time and stared at Jiang Jinhu's face, which still retained its youthful innocence. She found that there was already a hint of the boldness and determination of the richest man of his generation. Her heart moved slightly, and then she couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked softly:

“How are you going to deal with this situation?”

Hearing this, Jiang Jinhu smiled faintly and answered with a firm look:

"The head of the Yao family, Yao Fenglin, has a son, Yao Chen. This man is stubborn and reckless. It would be easy to lure him into a trap."

Hearing this, Gu Qinlan raised the corners of his lips slightly, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.

The Yao family once colluded with the Yao family and killed her mother. How could she let go of this hatred?

Since my mother died so unjustly, the Yao family must pay the corresponding price!

In the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, at this moment, Yao was curled up in her room, her face as pale as paper.

She never dreamed that Marquis Dingyuan would put her under house arrest for Gu Qinlan!

What made her even more anxious was that the situation of her daughter Qin Lian was also unknown. This worry pierced her heart like a sharp knife.

Yao's gaze lingered on the faint light coming through the window, and she couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Thinking back then, the woman whom she once regarded as a thorn in her side probably felt the same way when her life was about to come to an end?

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a servant hurried in and said to Yao:

"Madam, please pack up quickly. Your brother is waiting in the front hall. The Marquis wants you to go and receive him, but..."

The servant paused, glanced at Yao with some fear, and then continued:

"The Marquis specifically instructed that Madam must remember what to say and what not to say, otherwise..."

Yao could hear the warning in Marquis Dingyuan's words, but it also made her feel greatly relieved.

Someone from her parents' family came, which meant that Marquis Dingyuan finally let her go!

No matter what, she still has a place in Dingyuan Hou's eyes. Even if Dingyuan Hou has a promising future, the road to promotion cannot be easily paved with money.

Fortunately, her Yao family is not short of money!

"Hurry, dress up for me. Don't keep my brother waiting for too long!" Yao immediately urged the servants, and the room became busy in an instant.

When Yao was dressed up and walked out of the room, she saw Marquis Dingyuan and her brother Yao Fenglin chatting and laughing in the front hall.

She knew her brother's character very well. Even though he was smiling, he could not hide his worry between his brows.

"Brother, why are you here today? Why didn't you inform me in advance?"
