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

Gu Qinlan glanced at the frowning Marquis Dingyuan beside him, and stepped forward to remind him, "Father, look, my third sister and her husband are quarreling at the door again. If this continues, not only will the reputation of the Ji family and the Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion be damaged, I'm afraid the people will also misunderstand us."

Hearing this, Dingyuan Hou frowned and looked at Gu Qinlian and Ji Yinli who were arguing in front of him. A trace of helplessness and anger flashed across his face. He turned his head and glanced at Gu Qinlan, revealing a bit of confusion and relief in his eyes.

"Qin Lan, you are right. I did neglect this matter. I didn't expect them to be so unrestrained and make a scene at the gate. In this case, I will let them in. I can't let the people laugh at me anymore."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said, "Father, you are wise. However, it is not enough to just let them in. We must also find a way to solve this problem so that they will not commit the same offense again in the future."

Dingyuan Hou nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, this matter really gives me a headache. I didn't expect Qin Lian and Yin Li to become like this. Alas, it's all because of my poor parenting."

Gu Qinlan gently patted Dingyuan Hou's shoulder and comforted him, "Father, don't blame yourself. The reason why my third sister and her husband are like this may be because there is a problem in their relationship. We should care about them and help them solve the problem instead of blaming ourselves."

Dingyuan Hou sighed and said, "Well, in that case, I'll have to trouble you. As the eldest daughter, you should pay more attention to your brothers and sisters and help them through this difficult time."

Gu Qinlan nodded and said, "Don't worry, father. I will do my best. But before that, let's let them in first, so as not to make a fool of ourselves in front of the people."

Dingyuan Hou nodded, turned around and ordered the servants around him: "Go and bring them in quickly!"

The servant left in response, and soon, Gu Qinlian, Ji Yinli and others were brought before Dingyuan Hou. Seeing Dingyuan Hou's serious expression, they couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Dingyuan Hou glared at them and said in a cold voice: "You two, you just know how to quarrel at the door all day long. How disgraceful! I will not pursue what happened today for now, but if you do it again next time, I will never let you off easily!"

Gu Qinlian and Ji Yinli were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They quickly bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes: "Father, we understand. We will never dare to do it again."

Dingyuan Hou snorted and said, "If that's the case, then go in. Reflect on your actions and don't bring shame to the family again."

Gu Qinlian and Ji Yinli nodded repeatedly and followed the servants into the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

Gu Qinlan looked at their backs and sighed secretly in her heart.

Dingyuan Hou turned around and wanted to leave, but Gu Qinlan suddenly grabbed his sleeve and called him, "Father!"

Marquis Dingyuan was slightly stunned, turned his head, with a hint of confusion and displeasure in his eyes.

Gu Qinlan bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes were firm, and her tone was serious: "Father, how are you going to deal with the matter between my third sister and her husband?"

Dingyuan Hou frowned slightly and looked at his daughter. "Why are you so concerned about this? What does this have to do with you?"

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with determination. She knew her father was a wise man, but now this matter involved the family's reputation, so she had to intervene: "Father, although the third sister married into the Ji family, she is still a member of our Gu family. Her behavior is related to the heirs of the Ji family, and also to the reputation of our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. If it is not handled properly, it will cause family disputes."

Dingyuan Hou was silent for a moment, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew that his daughter was a person with her own ideas, so he asked, "What's your plan?"

Gu Qinlan took a deep breath and said, "Let the Ji family handle it. This matter concerns their offspring, so they will be more cautious. With the Ji family here, the reputation of our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion will not be damaged."

Dingyuan Hou pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "You are right. This matter should indeed be handled by the Ji family. But you know, this matter involves a lot of people. If it is not handled properly, it may cause a bigger disturbance."

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with determination: "Don't worry, father, as long as the people of the Ji family discuss this matter with us. No matter what, I will make sure this matter is properly resolved."

Marquis Dingyuan looked at his daughter, nodded slightly, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

Gu Qinlan looked at Marquis Dingyuan steadily and said seriously, "The honor and disgrace of the noble families are shared. If it is not handled properly, it will definitely affect the reputation of the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan. Father, you know that once the problem of the second branch of the Ji family breaks out, it may affect the eldest son of the first branch of the Ji family, Ji Yinyi."

Upon hearing this, Dingyuan Hou frowned slightly. He pondered for a moment, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said: "Qin Lan, your analysis is not unreasonable. So, what explanation do you think the Ji family can give?"

Gu Qinlan bit her lower lip lightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Father, if the problem of the second branch of the Ji family is not handled properly, it will indeed affect Ji Yinyi's future. But if the Ji family really wants to make amends, perhaps they can let Ji Yinyi marry my sister Gu Qinyao. In this way, we can consolidate the status of the Ji family and preserve my sister's reputation."

Upon hearing this, Dingyuan Hou nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Qinlan, your concerns are not unreasonable. But how do you think we should solve this problem?"

Gu Qinlan pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I think we should start from two aspects. On the one hand, we should strengthen supervision over the Second Branch of the Ji Family to prevent them from causing trouble again; on the other hand, we should maintain close contact with the First Branch of the Ji Family and try to make them understand that the behavior of the Second Branch of the Ji Family does not represent the entire Ji Family."

Dingyuan Hou nodded slightly to show his agreement. However, his brows furrowed: "Qin Lan, I understand what you said. But have you ever thought about it? If the problem of the second branch of the Ji family really affects Ji Yinyi, the eldest son of the first branch of the Ji family, what explanation can we give for it?"

Gu Qinlan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Father, Ji Yinyi is about to return to Beijing to take up his post. This is a critical moment. We can use this opportunity to make our position clear to the court, and at the same time, we can also show our sincerity to the Ji family. As long as we sincerely help the Ji family solve the problem, I believe they will be grateful to us."

When Marquis Dingyuan heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes. He stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, was silent for a moment, then turned to Gu Qinlan and said: "Qinlan, you are right. We will act according to your plan. However, this matter involves the Ji family. As the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, Qinlian must be more cautious. I will arrange a banquet for her in the mansion and invite the relatives and friends of the Ji family to let the world know that our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Ji family share honor and disgrace."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, father. I understand."
