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

After all, the fire spread very quickly, and by the time Jin Lan rushed out holding herself, the kitchen had already been engulfed by thick smoke.

Therefore, in everyone's eyes, Jinlan is her savior.

But Gu Qinlan clearly remembered that the reason she went to the kitchen was because of Jinlan's instigation!

Thinking of this, Gu Qinlan couldn't help but feel a chill. If everything that happened back then was deliberately arranged by Jinlan, doesn't that mean that her mother's death was also related to her?

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qinlan looked at Jinlan's tearful face with cold eyes, and suddenly asked in a firm tone:

"Why did you betray my mother?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jinlan's crying suddenly stopped.

She seemed a little bit unbelievable, raised her head and looked at Gu Qinlan with complicated eyes, her eyes were full of innocence and pain, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Miss, are you blaming me for leaving the mansion after my wife passed away? Miss, please forgive Jinlan. Jinlan is just deeply saddened by the death of my wife. If I stay, it's just because I am reminded of my wife by the scene..."

"If the young lady thinks that I am betraying you, then please punish Jinlan. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Gu Qinlan looked at the woman in front of him, his heart filled with immense hatred.

In this deep mansion, the wisdom is as thick as an ancient city wall, and every brick and tile reveals unpredictable scheming. Back then, she was able to cleverly join forces with the Yao family to cause her mother's unfortunate death. The means involved were truly amazing.

She took a deep breath, fixed her eyes firmly on Xiang Zhu beside her, and gave an order in a calm tone: "Go, get a chair."

"As ordered!"

Xiang Zhu did not hesitate and immediately ordered his servants to place the chair securely behind Gu Qinlan. Gu Qinlan sat down without hesitation, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, holding a letter in his hand, playing with it for a while, and then slowly spoke:

"Since you insist on being innocent, then please tell me where that huge sum of money came from. How did it allow you to redeem yourself and return home to buy real estate, land, and shops?"

"If you are truly innocent, why would you have any connection with Yao? You must know that Yao is my father's second wife."

"If you were truly innocent, why did you induce me to play with fire in the kitchen when I was young and stage the drama of a loyal servant saving his master?"

"You claim to be innocent, but your every move reveals guilt!"

Gu Qinlan's words were like sharp arrows piercing Jinlan's heart, and every word hit her sore spot, causing her to panic. Gu Qinlan caught Jinlan's flickering eyes, and it was obvious that she wanted to defend herself, but she was no longer interested in listening to any explanations. She just smiled coldly and said:

"You can remain silent, but I really want to know how long you can keep silent."

Gu Qinlan turned his gaze to Zheng Dinglian who was sitting in a wheelchair and asked:

"I heard that the military has special criminal laws to deal with spies. Can Prince Duan let me take a look at it today?"

"Since the princess is interested, she should satisfy you. Wei Lin."

Zheng Dinglian nodded slightly, then glanced at Wei Lin. Wei Lin immediately took action, took out a bunch of torture instruments, and threw them in front of Jin Lan.

The sound of "ding-dong" echoed in the air.

Jinlan looked at those unfamiliar torture instruments, her face as pale as paper. She looked at Gu Qinlan in horror and shouted:

"Miss, Jinlan is really wronged! Jinlan..."

"Shut up, seal her mouth, don't let the princess' ears be polluted."

Zheng Dinglian glanced at Jinlan, narrowed his eyes, and gave a cold order. Suddenly, Jinlan's shouting stopped abruptly, and the yard immediately became quiet.

Zheng Dinglian sat beside Gu Qinlan and turned his head to look at her. Gu Qinlan looked calm on the surface, but her fingers gripping the armrests of the chair had turned white, revealing her inner tension.

Gu Qinlan heard Zheng Dinglian sigh, and then he said:

"Wei Lin is enforcing the law in the army. His methods may shock you. You might as well go back to your room and wait. I will have someone notify you when there is a result."

Gu Qinlan turned to look at Zheng Dinglian and shook her head firmly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes:

"No, I want to see with my own eyes what will happen to this fellow who betrayed his master!"

Zheng Dinglian bit his lips lightly and finally nodded: "Okay..."

Gu Qinlan obviously overestimated her ability to bear and underestimated Wei Lin's methods. Although it was her first time seeing the military's criminal law, she already felt her stomach churning.

Finally, Jin Lan looked as if she had just been fished out of a pool of blood. Zheng Dinglian had the cloth strips on her mouth untied. Jin Lan was already panting and said in a hoarse voice:

"No, no, I confess, Miss, it was Yao! It was Yao who bribed me to drug the lady, but I really don't know what kind of poison it was!"

"I am just a humble person. Lady Yao threatened my life. How dare I disobey! The sound of sobbing never ceases... I know I have sinned. If I knew that it was a deadly poison, how could I harm Madam?"

Gu Qinlan stared solemnly at the blood-stained Yao in front of her. She kowtowed and begged desperately, but Gu Qinlan's heart was calm.

She stood up slowly, her body a little shaky, and Xiang Zhu hurried forward to support her.

After standing firm, Gu Qinlan turned his gaze to Jinlan and said in a strong voice: "You have no right to mention my mother."

After a short pause, Gu Qinlan turned to look at Zheng Dinglian and said in a serious voice: "The evidence is irrefutable, with both witnesses and evidence, but I have something else to ask of you..."

Zheng Dinglian looked at Gu Qinlan at this moment, her face as pale as snow, his eyes filled with endless pity, and he had already guessed her plan in his heart.

The hatred for the murder of her mother is deep and deep, Gu Qinlan must want to avenge her mother personally!

Thinking of this, Zheng Dinglian sighed and said slowly: "The national law is easily abolished. Now that the evidence has been submitted, Yao will definitely die. You..."

"However, I am unwilling to give up." Gu Qinlan interrupted him gently, looking directly at Zheng Dinglian with a determined light in her eyes.

If Zheng Dinglian disagrees, she will try to achieve her goal on her own.

Although it involves national law, what does it have to do with her?

If she can't avenge her mother with her own hands, how can she live in the world with dignity?

Zheng Dinglian smiled helplessly and said, "Although the national law cannot be abolished, there are always other ways to get what you want."

In the dark and damp prison, the pungent smell of mold filled the air, making people feel suffocated.

Yao was like an abandoned, shabby doll, curled up in a corner of the prison.

She looked at Jin Lan, who was also covered in wounds, even more miserable than herself, with only a breath left. Her eyes revealed a mixture of mockery and resentment.

After Jinlan was sent to the Ministry of Justice last night, the Ministry of Justice quickly conducted a trial under the pressure exerted by Zheng Dinglian.

With all the witnesses and evidence available, even if Yao wanted to defend himself, it was useless. He was sentenced to death on the spot and was scheduled to be executed at noon the next day!

However, Yao was unwilling to give in!

This matter had been concealed for many years, and it was only because of Jinlan's appearance that the truth was completely exposed!

She has taken good care of the Yao family for many years, but unexpectedly Jin Lan didn't show any gratitude at all!
