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

It was because of Lou Donglei that she was able to quickly identify problems in store operations.

However, today Lou Donglei specifically mentioned Mo Xiaopeng's background, obviously hinting to her that the reason why Mo Xiaopeng was able to hold this position was all thanks to the care of Princess Lao Duan.

Although the relationship between them has become unclear, they are connected by blood after all, and they represent the face of Princess Lao Duan.

If not handled properly, it might embarrass Princess Lao Duan and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Gu Qinlan nodded slightly and responded with a smile.

Since we cannot take tough measures, we should adopt a conciliatory strategy.

Besides, if Mo Xiaopeng didn't do anything excessive, she could let him off the hook.

Seeing that Gu Qinlan had understood his hint, Lou Donglei finally felt relieved and was once again amazed at Gu Qinlan's intelligence.

Gu Qinlan didn't say anything extra. She held Zheng Huiyi's hand tightly and walked into Hongyefang with big strides.

As soon as Gu Qinlan stepped into the territory of Hongyefang, a young man in his forties caught her figure sharply. His eyes suddenly became as bright as stars, and he instantly saw through Gu Qinlan's prominent identity.

He hurriedly called the shop assistants to gather around Gu Qinlan, and saluted her in unison:

"Princess Duan has arrived. We respectfully welcome her."

Gu Qinlan glanced at the middle-aged man and asked softly:

"Are you Shopkeeper Mo?"

"That's right, my youngest son Mo Xiaopeng..."

Mo Xiaopeng had heard recently that the newly promoted Princess Duan was no ordinary person. With just one move, she sent the domineering shopkeeper Yang into the cage of Jingzhao Yin!

The crime committed by Manager Yang - betraying his master and embezzling property - is a heinous crime!

All his property was confiscated, and he was exiled to the frontier, never to be returned!

And last night, the situation was tense and half of the shop owners were investigated, beaten and expelled from their shops.

Especially the grain store owner Yang, it was said that it was his nephew who beat him to death...

Therefore, Mo Xiaopeng has been uneasy in recent days, as if there is a sword of Damocles hanging over his head and may fall at any time!

At this moment, facing the arrival of Princess Duan, he was afraid of offending her and just wanted to worship her like a god. He immediately put on a flattering smile and said:

"Please take a seat here, Princess. I will present the account book for your review."

Gu Qinlan smiled gently, stretched out her hand to stop Shopkeeper Mo, and said in a friendly tone:

"There's no need to rush about the account book. I heard that you are related to my mother, so I'd like to call you Uncle Mo."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Mo trembled involuntarily, looked at Gu Qinlan in panic, and said in a trembling voice:

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it! It's because of the kindness of the old princess that I have a place to settle down. How can I dare to be called your uncle?"

Before he finished speaking, Manager Mo's heart was in his throat. This princess suddenly wanted to get closer to him. He didn't know what she was up to... It was really frightening.

Seeing this, Gu Qinlan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but did not ask any further questions.

Shopkeeper Mo let out a long sigh, quickly ran to get the account book, and handed it respectfully to Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan took the account book and just flipped through a few pages casually.

Shopkeeper Mo nervously watched Gu Qinlan's every move. As she looked through the account book, the nervousness in her heart gradually dissipated.

In front of Gu Qinlan, it no longer mattered whether there were problems with the account book, because from the way she flipped through the account book, it was obvious that she did not have the ability to identify the subtleties therein.

When Shopkeeper Mo saw this scene, he couldn't help but relax his vigilance a little.

However, Gu Qinlan lightly threw the account book to Zheng Huiyi, who was sitting on the side, with a questioning smile on her face:

"Huiyi, can you read?"

Zheng Huiyi kept in mind her manners when she went out, and wanted to show her elegance that would not be underestimated by others. At this moment, she stood tall, like an exquisite porcelain doll.

Facing Gu Qinlan's question, Zheng Huiyi secretly glanced at Shopkeeper Mo, and then replied with a hint of arrogance:

"I still recognize one or two words."

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Huiyi to review the account book on behalf of my mother."

"Ok!"

Zheng Huiyi's eyes lit up instantly, and she gladly accepted the task. In her opinion, her mother entrusted her with such an important responsibility, which undoubtedly showed her respect and trust in her.

Shopkeeper Mo witnessed all this, his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous. How could a child understand something as complicated as an account book? This Duan Wangfei was obviously not as smart as the outside world said.

Gu Qinlan saw through the disdain in Shopkeeper Mo's eyes, but she didn't care. Instead, she asked Shopkeeper Mo with a smile on her face, her tone as if she was just chatting:

"How many years has my uncle been serving at Hongyefang?"

"This...will be ten years next month."

"Ten years is indeed a long time. Uncle Mo has managed Hongyefang in an orderly manner. It is obvious that he has put a lot of effort into it. His choice back then was indeed a wise one."

Gu Qinlan was naturally beautiful, and had a noble status; her words of praise made Manager Mo feel intoxicated.

Shopkeeper Mo tried his best to suppress the upward curve of his lips, but his eyes and eyebrows could hardly conceal his joy.

"How dare you praise me as a princess? I am just doing my duty."

Gu Qinlan kept praising Manager Mo, which made him feel happier and happier. In the end, he could only smile and wave his hands, looking quite funny.

Xiang Zhu and Wo Can watched their young lady praise Manager Mo skillfully, and secretly compared her to a cunning fox. As for the already arrogant Manager Mo, he was like a prey that accidentally stepped into a trap. Not only did he not notice the danger, but he also indulged in self-intoxication.

While Zheng Huiyi was carefully checking the account book, Gu Qinlan took the opportunity to chat with Manager Mo. They talked about everything from geography and scenery to daily trivia.

Shopkeeper Mo gazed into Gu Qinlan's eyes, as if he had found the twinkling stars in the deep night sky. The tacit understanding made his words full of sincere emotions.

At the right time, Gu Qinlan sighed softly, like a spring breeze blowing across the new green, carrying with it a hint of barely perceptible sadness.

Shopkeeper Mo immediately noticed her change in mood and asked with concern: "Princess, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Qinlan shook her head slightly, with an indescribable look in her eyes. After a moment's hesitation, she said in a reproachful tone:

"In recent days, I have inspected all the shops in the palace, and only the Red Leaf Shop managed by you, Uncle Mo, is the best!"

"The guys there are well behaved, which is a far cry from the sloppy guys in other shops."

When Shopkeeper Mo heard Gu Qinlan's praise, a warm current suddenly surged in his heart, and he responded involuntarily:

"That's natural. Other shopkeepers only care about chasing small profits. How can they compare to me in running the business and training the employees with my wholehearted dedication and diligence?"
