Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband

Gu Qinlan chuckled: "You also believe this. So I dare to assert that the final winner will definitely be him. And you will not be able to avoid the questions I raised before in the future."

Zheng Dinglian's eyes turned cold, and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Gu Qinlan explained: "The claim that the Fourth Prince has trouble with his offspring is just a smokescreen he uses to confuse the world. Now that the Fourth Prince's wife is pregnant, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to verify it. It's best to act quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to find out after a while."

Zheng Dinglian stared at her deeply for a while, then summoned his trusted aides, "Go check the Fourth Prince's wife's personal maid to see if there is anything abnormal with her menstrual cycle."

Zheng Dinglian waited until dawn and finally received the results of the investigation.

Prince, after in-depth investigation, the Fourth Prince's wife's period was only delayed for a few days. However, when she met Gu Qinlian yesterday, she specially invited the court doctor to diagnose her. Immediately, her attitude towards Gu Qinlian changed significantly, and she even sent someone to her parents' home to get pregnancy-preserving drugs.

Zheng Dinglian was slightly surprised, and his eyes fell on Gu Qinlian with a piercing look: "How did you know that the Fourth Prince's wife was pregnant?"

Apparently, the Fourth Prince's wife only learned of her pregnancy yesterday, and has not yet announced the good news. And Gu Qinlian was almost inseparable from Zheng Dinglian yesterday.

Gu Qinlian did not sleep all night, and her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue: "This is not the key point. The key point is that the Fourth Prince is a man of hidden talents, deep scheming, ruthless means, and will do anything to achieve his goals. He is good at hiding, and can bend and stretch, which makes people gradually relax their vigilance against him."

Zheng Dinglian pondered for a long time before slowly speaking: "If what you said is true, the Crown Prince's chances of winning are almost zero."

It can even be said that there is no chance of winning at all.

The prince’s failure in his previous life was too tragic, and his ending was so tragic that it is heartbreaking.

Gu Qinlian said in a heavy tone: "If he were not so selfish and cruel, he would actually be more suitable for that honorable position. But human nature is hard to change. If he ascends the throne, it will be a disaster for the people of the world."

"I'm not forcing you to make a choice, but are you really willing to see the Western Wei country and its people, which the Zheng family has loyally protected for generations, fall into the hands of such a person?"

Zheng Dinglian remained silent. This matter was too important for him and he needed to think carefully.

Gu Qinlian said no more. This was all she could do. As for how Zheng Dinglian would decide, she had no influence on it.

If Zheng Dinglian finally chooses to remain neutral, then she will need to plan carefully, secretly support the prince, and at the same time reserve a way out for herself.

If the Crown Prince still cannot defeat the Fourth Prince, then it can only be said that it is God's will and she will accept this reality.

"Sir, I will rest first. If there is anything important, we can discuss it after I wake up."

Zheng Dinglian couldn't help but chuckle. She had revealed such an important secret, making him uneasy, but she seemed to be insignificant.

He couldn't help but wonder how she knew all these hidden secrets.

Even a military officer like him who guarded the border all day long was unaware of the Fourth Prince's ambition. I believe that many officials in the capital were also kept in the dark.

She is just a woman who lives a secluded life. How did she know these secrets?

He always felt that he could not see through her, and there were many unreasonable things about her. For example, she instructed Luo Feng to train intelligence personnel, and instructed the father and son of the Jiang family to carry out many tasks. These were not the actions of a woman in the back house.

However, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

Although he was somewhat curious, he did not feel the need to get to the bottom of it.

If she wanted to say something, she would tell him naturally. If she didn't want to say it, why should he force her to say it and make her feel troubled? As long as he knew that she had no ill will towards him, it was enough.

Thinking of this, Zheng Dinglian's mind suddenly became clear.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of the New Year.

Gu Qinlian and Zheng Dinglian carried some gifts and went to the Gu family residence. This year was her first New Year after getting married, and going back to her parents' home was a very important matter. She was supposed to go back yesterday, but she was sleeping the whole time and was unable to go.

Gu Qinlian and Ji Yinli were also at Gu's house.

When the old man of the Gu family heard about Gu Qinlian and Zheng Dinglian's arrival, he immediately had someone help him go out to greet them. Gu Qinlian didn't want to show up, but was scolded by the old man.

"Even though you have established connections with the Fourth Prince's Mansion, you should not be too arrogant. Qin Lian is the county lord personally appointed by the Emperor, and Zheng Dinglian is a third-rank military commander. They are the most solid support for the Gu family at the moment!"

Gu Qinlian was so angry that her face turned blue, but her heart was surging with anger.

On that bright night, it was said that she had won the favor of the Fourth Prince's wife. The old man, who had been through many battles, was ecstatic and proudly declared that even without the support of Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian, their Gu family would be able to take the lead and have a bright future.

However, in just two days, the old man suddenly changed his tone.

All this was because Gu Qinlan was named County Princess!

Old Master Gu glanced at Gu Qinlian and said in a serious tone: "No matter how much resentment you have in your heart, you must endure it on the surface! The future of the Fourth Prince is unpredictable, but if you anger the current emperor, your end will be miserable."

Gu Qinlian just started to protest when she was interrupted by Old Man Gu: "Even if what you said about your past life is true, it is only the past. There are endless variables in this life. You must remember not to put all your eggs in one basket, otherwise you will fail miserably if something unexpected happens."

Although Gu Qinlian disagreed, she did not dare to openly contradict Grandpa Gu, so she could only respond in a submissive tone: "Granddaughter has learned her lesson."

So, Mr. Gu led everyone in the family to enthusiastically welcome his eldest granddaughter and her spouse.

Gu Qinlan was immersed in this unprecedented concern.

Mr. Gu even bowed to Gu Qinlan solemnly: "I, the humble servant, pay my respects to the Princess of Linchuan County."

Gu Qinlan hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Grandfather, please stand up quickly. After all, we are a family connected by blood. There is really no need to be so formal."

Old Master Gu smiled brightly: "Although I am the elder, there is a distinction between the superior and the inferior, and etiquette cannot be abolished. Qin Lan, you have really brought great honor to our Gu family. After the New Year, I will definitely recompile the family tree and record your glory in the history books."

The Gu family's genealogy was lost in the refugee crisis.

Gu Qinlan smiled gently: "Then follow grandfather's wishes."

Gu Qinlian couldn't help but sneer: "Sister, you are so glorious. Now it seems that you are the only one left in grandfather's eyes."

Gu Qinlan glanced at her calmly: "It doesn't matter who Grandfather likes, what matters is who he will invest his money in. I just don't understand why you want to give up your good life and spend money to serve as a maid for the Fourth Prince's wife? Are you really so bored?"

Gu Qinlian was so angry that her face twisted: "You!"

Gu Qinlan said calmly but firmly: "Although our Gu family comes from merchants, if we even look down on ourselves and are willing to spend money to be servants of others, then we will never be able to win the respect of others."
