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

Xu Yunxuan was so reckless that it could only be said that she sincerely wanted to give birth to a child for her lover, Zheng Dinglian.

Therefore, Gu Qinlan did not dislike Xu Yunxuan, and even had a little respect for her.

Although she admired her, Gu Qinlan was aware in her heart that she could never be compared with her.

In this complex world, women always bear heavy pressure.

Their lives seemed destined to be confined to that small space. When they looked up at the corner of sky above the atrium, they mistakenly thought that was the entire universe.

They desire the favor of men, and are often willing to sacrifice themselves at any cost for the little warmth given by men.

However, Gu Qinlan is different.

In her previous life, she had seen the vast world beyond that heaven and earth in order to support Ji Yinli. Naturally, she would not return to that confinement just to wait for the favor of a man.

In this life, the reason why she allowed Gu Qinlian to replace her marriage was based on this understanding.

Xiang Zhu and Wo Can were confused when they saw Gu Qinlan's indifferent expression. Xiang Zhu couldn't help but said impulsively:

"Miss! Why are you so calm? Prince Duan has secretly supported that woman for ten years! This is enough to prove his preference. If she were not infertile, I'm afraid your current situation would be even more difficult..."

Wocan nodded slightly, thinking that Xiangzhu was right. After thinking for a moment, he resolutely drew his sword and said seriously:

"Miss, why don't you let me go and get rid of her to avoid future troubles!"

To be able to confuse Prince Duan for ten years, his methods must be very sophisticated!

Only by getting rid of it as soon as possible can we prevent future troubles!

Du Yusheng just walked behind the screen and heard what Wocan said unexpectedly. He opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise:

"Why, why would you want to take someone's life? Junior Sister, do you have any deep hatred with that Miss Xu?"

Du Yusheng felt a little bit troubled. If his junior sister really had a grudge with Xu Yunxuan, then he might not be able to help Xu Yunxuan anymore, because in his heart, the importance of his junior sister was unquestionable.

Gu Qinlan shook her head slightly, smiled, and placed her hand on the back of Wocan's sword-holding hand, gently pressing it so that Wocan sheathed the sword, and then slowly said:

"There is no deep hatred, just some minor conflicts of interest, which are not worth mentioning."

In Gu Qinlan's opinion, no matter whether Xu Yunxuan was Zheng Dinglian's mistress or not, she could pretend to be ignorant based on her deep love for Prince Duan.

The only thing is...

That is one thousand taels of silver every month, which cannot be given easily!

In the past, that money could perhaps be given away at will, but now that she has become the master of Prince Duan's Mansion, every penny of the Prince Duan's Mansion belongs to her!

How could it be given so carelessly?

Emotions are emotions, money is money, the two should never be confused together. Gu Qinlan is very clear about this!

After hearing this, Du Yusheng let out a long sigh of relief.

Since there is no hatred, and his junior sister has nothing to do with others, he naturally stands on the side of his junior sister.

Gu Qinlan looked at Du Yusheng's expression and instantly understood his thoughts. A hint of gentleness and tenderness flashed in her eyes.

However, Gu Qinlan was not in a position to speak directly to Du Yusheng about this matter, lest he feel awkward, so she immediately changed the subject and asked:

"By the way, Senior Brother, how did you get to know Zheng Dingyi?"

Du Yusheng opened his lips slightly when he heard this, a trace of melancholy and sympathy flashed across his eyes, but more of it was admiration, and then he sighed...

It turns out that Zheng Dingyi's father was named Zheng Qifeng, who once served as an imperial censor. As his name suggests, he lived a poor life and was an upright and honest person!

In the court, he dared to impeach officials at all levels and even dared to speak out and advise the emperor in order to fulfill his duties as a minister!

However, six years ago, Zheng Qifeng withheld military pay because the deposed crown prince was addicted to brothels, resulting in a shortage of food and grass at the front line, which almost led to the annihilation of Prince Duan's entire army deep behind enemy lines!

Fortunately, Prince Duan remained calm in the face of danger, decisively gave up subsequent supplies, and adopted a strategy of fighting to support the war. Otherwise, Prince Duan might have died six years ago.

Regarding this matter, the emperor intended to make a big deal out of a small matter and only gave a slight reprimand to the deposed crown prince.

But Zheng Qifeng was a man of integrity and uprightness. He immediately wrote a letter to the emperor, denouncing the prince for his immorality and requesting the emperor to abolish the prince's position in order to restore order in the court!

However, the crown prince is the biological son of the late queen, and the emperor dotes on him very much. How could he easily abolish the crown prince's status?

Zheng Qifeng was a man of strong character. He immediately angrily rebuked the emperor, "You are so foolish and partial. The country will no longer be a country, and the king will no longer be a king. The Yong Dynasty will surely be destroyed!"

These disrespectful remarks immediately angered the emperor!

Zheng Qifeng was immediately ordered to be arrested and tortured. In the end, he was seriously injured and died in the imperial prison!

As a censor, Zheng Qifeng often impeached officials of all ranks, and thus made many enemies.

Therefore, after Zheng Qifeng's death, many political enemies began to take advantage of the Zheng family's misfortune, and some even openly ordered the assassination of the entire Zheng family!

Overnight, almost all of the Zheng family was wiped out and lost their lives in the turmoil, leaving only Zheng Dingyi and his newborn sister, who were rescued by Du Yusheng who happened to pass by and escaped.

Fortunately, Zheng Dinglian returned victoriously at that time, and was extremely angry when he learned about this.

After all, the deposed prince withheld military pay, causing the deaths of countless brave soldiers. Gu Qinlan resolutely pleaded with the emperor to deprive him of his title of prince!

At that time, Zheng Dinglian gave an order, and all the civil and military officials in the court echoed it.

Under this tremendous pressure, the emperor had no choice but to issue an edict to depose the crown prince and imprison him for life in the remote and dangerous "Pansui Mountain"!

When Gu Qinlan heard this, her heart was filled with waves!

Six years ago, she was still young and lived in seclusion. At that time, she only knew that the whole capital was in a panic, and Marquis Dingyuan had issued a strict order to everyone in the mansion, prohibiting them from going out.

Although Marquis Dingyuan did not hold a position in the court at the time, he was obviously worried about being implicated in this incident and had no choice but to temporarily step back.

The Marquis' Mansion was closed to visitors for more than a month before reopening. It was then that Gu Qinlan learned that the Crown Prince had been deposed.

However, although she knew about the prince's downfall, she never expected that there were so many twists and turns behind it!

Zheng Dingyi's father, Zheng Qifeng, was honest and upright throughout his life. He was also conscientious in his duties and had the courage to speak out. Unfortunately...

Recalling the first time I met Zheng Dingyi, he was in rags, which made me feel pity for him.

Six years ago, Zheng Dingyi was only seven years old. As a not yet an adult, he had to shoulder the responsibility of raising his younger sister. The hardships involved were hard to imagine.

No wonder Zheng Dingyi, despite being only thirteen years old, was so thoughtful and intelligent. Otherwise, he would have died long ago.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinlan looked up at Du Yusheng and couldn't help asking:

"I guess Senior Brother has secretly provided Zheng Dingyi with a lot of assistance over the years, right?"
