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

"Old Princess, you must do justice for the princess!"

When everyone heard Suancai's voice, they all turned their eyes to her.

Suancai fell to his knees without hesitation, crying to Princess Lao Duan with tears streaming down her face:

"Butler Zheng relied on his deep gratitude to the old Prince Duan in the past and acted arbitrarily, treating the entire palace as his own! His attitude towards the princess was even more arrogant and disrespectful!"

"Our princess devoted all her energy to saving people, but Butler Zheng ignored the facts and obstructed them! The timing of his actions was so precise that it was suspicious, as if he was afraid that the second young master would wake up. This makes us doubt the source of the trumpet creeper!"

"This kind of behavior is really reversing right and wrong and confusing black and white. The crime should be punished!"

As soon as Suancai finished speaking, he lowered his head and pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears.

She secretly glanced at Butler Zheng and others, muttering to herself: Let's all have a tearful show together, who wouldn't be able to do that!

When Butler Zheng heard Suancai's accusation, he was furious. If the charge was really proven, how could he still live in this world?

In a hurry, Butler Zheng couldn't hold back his anger, he raised his cane and swung it at Suan Cai, his curses falling like hail:

"How dare you, a lowly fire-burning girl, speak so rudely!"

Just when the crutch was about to hit Suancai, Lou Donglei extended a helping hand in time and pulled Suancai backwards, allowing it to cleverly avoid the attack.

"Are you so angry that you want to kill someone to silence him?"

Suancai was still in shock. He patted his chest to calm his heartbeat and angrily questioned Butler Zheng.

Butler Zheng's eyes flashed with resentment, and just as he was about to explode, Gu Qinlan's voice suddenly rang out: "Lying silkworm."

Upon hearing the sound, Wocan moved, stepped forward without hesitation, and smashed the scabbard in his hand heavily on the back of Butler Zheng.

Butler Zheng groaned as the pain made him kneel on the ground involuntarily, his dignity gone and his face completely lost.

Gu Qinlan looked down at Butler Zheng with a proud look, her eyes revealing coldness and majesty, and she said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"How dare you be so presumptuous while my mother and I are still alive? Is it true, as Suan Cai said, that this Prince Duan's Mansion has become the domain of Butler Zheng?"

Butler Zheng was shocked and realized his recklessness. He immediately knelt on the ground and cried to Princess Duan:

"Princess Lao Duan, I am loyal to the palace. How dare I bear this false accusation? You have also seen the attitude of the princess..."

However, before Butler Zheng could finish his words, he was sternly interrupted by Princess Lao Duan:

"Butler Zheng, are you accusing my daughter-in-law of having a bad attitude?"

Butler Zheng was startled and looked up at Princess Duan. He saw that her face was ashen and he couldn't help wanting to defend herself.

However, Princess Lao Duan did not give him any chance to explain, and continued in a firm tone:

"Butler Zheng, don't forget! My daughter-in-law is the beautiful lady married to Prince Duan by formal matchmaking. She has a noble status and is the Princess of Prince Duan!"

"Now, I have handed over the power of the entire Prince Duan's Mansion to her. She is the master of the Prince Duan's Mansion. Even if she punishes you, it is understandable!"

"Instead, you repeatedly obstructed Qin Lan from rescuing my son when his life was at stake. What are your ulterior motives?"

In deep anger, the old Duan Princess stared at Butler Zheng and asked in a cold tone: "No matter what... Isn't it you, Butler Zheng, who is in charge of the purchase of the entire Duan Palace? How did such a large number of trumpet creepers appear quietly in Master Feng Yun's room? Are you really unaware, or are you pretending not to know?"

Princess Lao Duan's gaze was like a sword, piercing straight into Butler Zheng.

In the past, the reason why Princess Duan could tolerate Butler Zheng was because he really had great favors for Prince Duan, so the palace should naturally treat him with courtesy.

However, what the old Princess Duan could never tolerate was that Butler Zheng actually attacked the descendants of Prince Duan's Mansion in order to control the power of butler!

Even the most loyal servant has his bottom line that cannot be violated.

Seeing the serious expression on Princess Duan's face, Butler Zheng knew that the matter would not end, so he hurriedly explained with tears in his eyes: "Old Princess, I really don't know how the trumpet creeper sneaked into the mansion! Even if I were given a hundred guts, I would never dare to commit such a heinous crime as murdering the second young master!"

Princess Lao Duan looked at the expression of Butler Zheng at this time, and her heart could not help but waver. Logically speaking, Butler Zheng really did not dare to do such a thing, but the situation was serious and could not be hastily resolved.

So, Princess Lao Duan turned to Gu Qinlan and asked, "Qinlan, how do you think we should handle this properly?"

When Princess Lao Duan said this, Butler Zheng and others were shocked and looked at Gu Qinlan nervously and fearfully.

Gu Qinlan knew clearly that Princess Duan had handed the matter over to her in order to give her a chance to establish her authority.

After all, now that she has taken over the household chores, she has never shown her authority in front of the servants. Over time, it is inevitable that she will find it difficult to control her subordinates.

Although Gu Qinlan originally planned to proceed step by step, since Princess Duan had already given her this convenience, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

At that moment, Qin Lan's eyes were like torches, scanning Zheng Guanjia and others, and he said in a cold and majestic tone:

"Even if it wasn't you who did it, you allowed such a large amount of trumpet creepers to be easily delivered to the mansion without knowing anything about it, which almost caused an irreparable tragedy. This is a serious dereliction of duty. Do you admit it?"

At this point, how could Zheng Guanjia dare to refute it? Compared with murdering the heir to Prince Duan's mansion, the crime of dereliction of duty was obviously much lighter.

So, Butler Zheng kowtowed to Gu Qinlan, gritted his teeth, and answered in a trembling voice:

"admit."

"Butler Zheng, as the chief steward of Prince Duan's mansion, disobeyed the orders of his master and disrespected his mistress. He even dared to bring people to force his way into the second young master's bedroom, almost causing his death. This is an act of disloyalty. Do you agree?"

"Identify..."

Gu Qinlan's eyes were like sharp swords, staring at Zheng, who looked like a defeated general on the battlefield. He drooped his head helplessly, looking extremely depressed. Gu Qinlan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a teasing smile, and then announced in a resolute tone:

"Since Steward Zheng is not worthy of his position, from today on, his position as steward will be immediately dismissed and he will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane as a warning to others!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Zheng suddenly raised his head, his eyes seemed to be filled with raging anger. His eyes were like an enraged lion, staring straight at Gu Qinlan.

"I once blocked a fatal knife for the old prince Duan at a critical moment and saved his precious life! How dare you cross the river and destroy the bridge? Isn't this obviously adding insult to injury? If this matter gets out..."

Butler Zheng's indignant accusation was cut off by Gu Qinlan's wave of his hand.

Gu Qinlan chuckled repeatedly, and gently played with the fine armor with her fingers, while saying in a calm yet harsh tone:

"Butler Zheng, rest assured. Although your duties as a butler have been relieved, the Prince Duan's Mansion will still properly arrange your later years. Just spend your later years in peace in the mansion and enjoy the happiness of family life."
