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

Upon hearing this, the old princess immediately frowned and retorted:

"Nonsense! Your mother-in-law is your biological mother and Ding Lian's biological mother. How can this be considered a private matter? This is a major event for our entire Prince Duan's Mansion."

"This is not only our biological grandmother, but also our maternal grandmother. We were unable to fulfill our filial duties to her during her lifetime, so we are here to bury her today." Zheng Fenghui nodded seriously, agreeing with the old princess's statement.

"Yes, if my grandmother had not been alive, we would not have such a virtuous mother. Fengyun, I want to thank my grandmother!" Zheng Fengyun said, then knelt down in front of the tombstone and kowtowed heavily.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Huiyi immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row. She secretly made up her mind to surpass her two brothers and be the most filial one!

Gu Qinlan witnessed the old princess's firm attitude and the children's sincere actions, and a warm touch of emotion flashed in her eyes.

She turned around, faced the newly erected tombstone, and slowly knelt down.

Mother, did you see it?

Now Lan'er has started a family, has a well-off family, knows how to repay the kindness received, and everything is going well.

Dear mother, please rest assured that your daughter Qin Lan will bravely take further steps on the road ahead.

Not long after returning home, Wocan hurriedly passed on a piece of news.

"Miss! The carriage that Jinlan was riding that day was actually damaged by human hands, not by nature! After a thorough investigation, the guards escorting Jinlan only left one person to guard the carriage in order to find someone to repair it."

"During that short period of time, Jinlan only went to the side to relieve herself once. Perhaps it was at that moment that someone secretly contacted her."

Gu Qinlan was sitting at her desk, writing quickly. Upon hearing this, she looked calm and asked, "What did Marquis Dingyuan do?"

"It has been found out that he sent a servant out of the city a few days ago, but the servant's destination is still unknown."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, having already made up her mind.

At this moment, Xiang Zhu also rushed into the house and said to Gu Qinlan anxiously:

"Miss, that Master Stepping Swallow went to Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion quietly!"

There was a "pop" sound.

Gu Qinlan's hand holding the pen suddenly stopped, and the ink splashed, instantly wetting the words on the paper and making them unclear.

She raised her head, put down her pen, and said decisively: "Return to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion."

"As ordered!"

When Gu Qinlan stepped into Dingyuan Marquis Mansion again and stood under the ancient plaque, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

If in the past, she still had a little family affection for Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and was willing to help Dingyuan Marquis rise, then now...

Gu Qinlan only hoped that things were not as she thought, otherwise, she could not guarantee what actions she would take!

As soon as Gu Qinlan returned to the mansion, he did not immediately look for Marquis Dingyuan. Instead, he sent people to guard all the exits of Marquis Dingyuan's mansion, waiting to capture Master Ta Yan as soon as he left the mansion!

She went straight back to the courtyard where Jiang Qingyu used to live.

She stood in Jiang Qingyu's yard, gazing at the familiar scene before her. The only difference was that the field of crabapple flowers that once bloomed had now lost its former splendor.

Suddenly, Gu Qinlan seemed to remember something. She looked around, and her gaze finally fell on the place where the crabapple flowers had been planted.

The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, and the land was bare and desolate!

"Someone, come and dig up some soil from there and bring it back!"

Gu Qinlan gave an order to Xiang Zhu, and Xiang Zhu immediately obeyed.

Just as Xiang Zhu had finished digging the soil and was about to return, the voice of Dingyuan Hou suddenly rang out:

"Qin Lan, you're finally back!"

Gu Qinlan turned her head and saw Marquis Dingyuan walking towards her excitedly.

His expression was like that of a loving father who missed his daughter.

Marquis Dingyuan was about to grab Gu Qinlan's arm, but Gu Qinlan cleverly avoided his touch.

Dingyuan Hou's hand stopped in the air, and he reluctantly withdrew it, sighing:

"Qin Lan has grown up. I don't know when, the little girl who always pestered her father to ride a big horse has grown into an independent woman..."

Dingyuan Hou's face was full of melancholy. When he said this, he couldn't help but look up at Gu Qinlan, his eyes full of sorrow, and continued:

"I know that you hate Yao, and I am also angry about her behavior! That woman, for her own selfish desires, actually poisoned your mother! She made me lose the love of my life! I hate her so much that I cannot express it in words!"

"But Qin Lan, no matter what, that was Yao's personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with your father! You can't hate your father just because of Yao's crime, right?"

Gu Qinlan stared at the scenery in front of her, looking at Dingyuan Hou's tearful and regretful expression, but at this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of strangeness.

She originally thought that she had thoroughly understood Marquis Dingyuan.

It was also heard in the martial arts world that Dingyuan Hou always put profit first, and no one could match his ambition. However, at this moment, Gu Qinlan felt that his understanding of Dingyuan Hou was too one-sided and superficial.

Gu Qinlan suppressed her irritability and said calmly, "Father, you are wrong. If Qinlan hated you, she would not have returned to the Marquis' Mansion."

When Marquis Dingyuan heard this, he immediately showed his joy and excitement: "Qin Lan, do you really not blame your father for not being able to judge people clearly back then?"

"The Yao family has ulterior motives and is full of jealousy. This has nothing to do with father. Last time, I was reckless. I came back today to apologize to father and ask you to forgive Qin Lan's previous rude behavior."

As Gu Qinlan spoke, he bowed to Marquis Dingyuan, his expression solemn and sincere.

Upon seeing this, Marquis Dingyuan hurriedly helped Gu Qinlan up. He was so moved that he couldn't help but burst into tears. He said hurriedly: "Okay, okay! As long as Qinlan doesn't blame me, it's good. But, your mother..."

Gu Qinlan glanced at Marquis Dingyuan and understood his intention. Marquis Dingyuan knew that her relationship with the Marquis' Mansion was not deep, so he wanted to move her mother's grave back to make her more closely connected with the Marquis' Mansion.

However, since she had already taken her mother away from this filthy place, how could she let her come back here again! Besides, she was almost certain that Yao was not the only culprit for her mother's death.

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with irony, but she quickly regained her composure and said gently, "Mother has already been buried. If we disturb her again, I'm afraid it will disturb her peace. I think that when there is a major celebration in the Marquis' Mansion, we can move her grave back, so that she can enjoy a little joy."

"Hasn't Prince Duan already submitted a memorial requesting merit? Father's achievements this time should allow him to be promoted to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, right?"

Marquis Dingyuan finally felt relieved when he saw that Gu Qinlan's tone was sincere and she didn't seem to be fooling him.

Fortunately, there was no rift between them because of Yao's matter. Hearing Gu Qinlan's words, Dingyuan Hou couldn't help but feel a little proud, so he asked: "Do you also think that your father can be promoted to the Minister of War this time?"

Gu Qinlan caught a glimpse of the greed in Marquis Dingyuan's eyes and sneered in her heart, but said calmly: "Why not? Father has been practicing hard for many years. Once the opportunity comes, he will naturally soar into the sky..."
