It’s great to be reborn and marry your brother, but your ex-husband cried and called you sister-in-l

Seeing Lingyu standing by the window dumbfounded and watching them, Gu Baiyu also realized that his current actions were not very elegant, so he wanted to distance himself.

Xiao Yanlin didn't know whether it was intentional or accidental, and followed her movements to loosen his hand a little. Gu Baiyu felt that his body was falling down, and he was so scared that he hugged her tighter.

Lingyu: "..."

If she read it correctly, the Marquis must have done it on purpose, right? !

Put away the smile on your lips, Mr. Hou!

"Master Hou, we will deliver the food later..."

"Keep the door closed, just say we are discussing something, and just bring it to you later."

Lingyu nodded, thought for a while, and simply closed the window.

This man was in love with his concubine, and she, a lonely person, didn't want to see it.

On Gu Baiyu's side, his hands were still tightly clinging to Xiao Yanlin's neck, and he did not dare to let go for a moment. The distance between the two of them was so close that even their breathing was intertwined.

Xiao Yanlin put his arm around Gu Baiyu's waist and tightened his grip: "Aren't you going to eavesdrop?"

Only then did Gu Baiyu remember the purpose of his trip, and immediately pricked up his ears to listen to the movements in the room.

After listening for a while, I probably understood what was going on.

There were three voices in the room, besides the second prince and Gu Ruanruan, there was indeed Xiao Ruoyun's voice.

It sounds like Xiao Ruoyun works in the Ministry of Industry and has always had mediocre political achievements. Gu Ruanruan and the second prince are talking to each other, trying to persuade Xiao Ruoyun to be flexible. Between their words, they are different from the waterwheel that Gu Ruanruan presented to the second prince before. The drawings seem to have something to do with it.

Xiao Ruoyun's attitude was very firm, saying that he did not want to join the others.

Gu Baiyu finally understood what was going on.

After the second prince handed over the drawings of the waterwheel and the finished product to the emperor, the emperor appreciated it and immediately decided to put it into production so that the people in the northwest could use the waterwheel as soon as possible.

This is a good thing, but there are many ways to do it.

In addition to providing waterwheel drawings and manufacturing methods, the Ministry of Industry also has a certain say in the cost of waterwheel production.

There is a lot to be gained when it comes to this kind of thing.

Usually the reported amount will be sufficient, and the money will be allocated. When it comes to local production, there are many local officials who have a lot of connections.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is from the Second Prince's faction. When reporting costs to the Ministry of Household Affairs, he seems to have colluded with local officials in the northwest. There are many discrepancies in the real cost reported, and the other party also promised to give some benefits to the Ministry of Industry. This is the consensus of everyone in the Ministry of Industry. It was something that was not announced, but Xiao Ruoyun seemed stubborn and wanted to report the matter to the court. The second prince failed to invite Xiao Ruoyun, so he took Gu Ruanruan's route and asked Xiao Ruoyun out.

In the room, the second prince who was originally trying to persuade him seemed to get angry when faced with Xiao Ruoyun, who was reticent, and his voice became much louder.

"Don't toast and eat as a penalty! The entire Ministry of Industry has no objections. Do you think you will get benefits in the end? When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Do you think my father doesn't know these things?!"

"Of course your majesty, the Holy Ming, knows your tricks. The cost is tripled, and even more deductions are made when it comes to actual production. The national treasury is already rich. How many things can be made with the allocated silver? How many people can enjoy it? The convenience of a waterwheel?”

Xiao Ruoyun refused to give in.

The second prince sneered: "So what? If I hadn't proposed the use of this thing, they wouldn't have used it! Now it's time to be grateful!"

Gu Ruanruan also tried to persuade him: "Second Master, this is not the first day you have entered the court. No one said anything about this kind of thing. Why are you so persistent?"

The second prince spoke again: "Come on, sworn sister, don't try to persuade me. I think it's probably the Marquis of Zhenbei who instigated Young Master Xiao to interfere with this matter. He just doesn't want me to add to this feat!"

There was sarcasm in his voice: "You said you were only loyal to your father. Now that you are married to Miss Gu, Prime Minister Gu is loyal to the prince. It's hard to say who the soldiers under the Marquis of Zhenbei are loyal to now!"

When Xiao Ruoyun heard this, he seemed very excited and even slapped the table.

Gu Baiyu could hear the sound of broken porcelain, and then Xiao Ruoyun's angry voice: "Brother only cares about military affairs, he never asks too much about my affairs, and he never interferes in matters that are not within the scope of his responsibilities, let alone I purposely target anyone, and I never provoke disputes between princes. The second prince must not slander anyone!"

......

The quarrel in the room became more and more intense. Gu Baiyu figured out the whole story, and his mind began to wander as he listened.

The weather has been getting a bit hot these days. Now that the sun was rising, she and Xiao Yanlin were very close to each other again, and Gu Baiyu soon felt her body temperature rise.

No, it's not her problem, it's Xiao Yanlin.

Xiao Yanlin's chest was too hot, and the hand holding her became tighter and tighter. He lowered his head slightly to look at her, and his hot breath sprayed onto her neck. The small area of ​​sensitive skin soon began to The redness is impossible to ignore every time you breathe in and out.

Gu Baiyu's thoughts gradually became trance-like.

These three people quarreled and quarreled, and why did they always talk nonsense!

It is not clear which northwest official bribed the Ministry of Industry!

No, it seems that a surname was mentioned just now. What is it... surnamed Zhang? Or what's your last name...

Oops, did Mr. Marquis catch a cold and have a fever? Why is his breath so hot? Should the doctor come and take a look later...

"Madam, do you understand?"

Just when Gu Baiyu was flying into the sky, Xiao Yanlin's voice suddenly came to his ears.

Afraid of disturbing the people inside, Xiao Yanlin moved closer, his hot breath already touching his sensitive ears.

Gu Baiyu didn't dare to let go of her hands, so she could only step back slightly, but the strange feeling in her ears still lingered. She rubbed her ears on Xiao Yanlin's shoulder in annoyance, trying to drive away the strange feeling.

"what happened?"

Gu Baiyu rubbed it for a few times, raised his head, and turned his face to the side as if to cover up: "Ahem, I understand, there is someone who is eating a meal with a dead body and wants to make money from the court."

"anything else?"

“…giving bribes and taking bribes.”

"Well, who is the mastermind?"

"The Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Mr. Zhang from the northwest..."

"That's wrong, it's Mr. Yang, the governor of the Northwest." Xiao Ruoyun looked at Gu Baiyu with a half-smile, with some teasing in his eyes: "Madam, you are not attentive enough."

Gu Baiyu's face turned red and he forced himself to calm down: "I don't have the inner strength. It's because their voices are too quiet. Let me listen carefully..."

There was a slight vibration where the two people's chests met. Gu Baiyu looked up and saw Xiao Yanlin laughing silently, "Madam is still quibbling, everyone inside has left, only Ruoyun is left."

Gu Baiyu was shocked when he heard this.

What! She thought wildly for a while, why were the second prince and Gu Ruanruan gone? !

How could Gu Ruanruan not wait for Xiao Ruoyun?

As if seeing her doubts, Xiao Yanlin suppressed a smile and said: "The second prince walked away with a puff of his sleeves. When Aunt Gu tried to persuade her, she had a few words with Ruoyun. Ruoyun's words were a bit harsh, so Aunt Gu left first."

Gu Baiyu looked away in embarrassment, his eyes wandering, not daring to look directly into Xiao Yanlin's eyes: "Oh, so that's it. The Marquis really has deep inner strength, I didn't hear any of this."

"I was just listening intently. I don't know what Madam was thinking just now. She was so absorbed in her thoughts. Could it be that she was fascinated by some flowers?"

Gu Baiyu was a little annoyed by being ridiculed again and again. She turned her face and looked directly into Xiao Yanlin's eyes, and said confidently: "Aren't you just fascinated by the Overlord Flower in front of you?"

After saying that, he seemed to feel something was wrong again and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xiao Yanlin secretly thought that something was wrong and was about to make a diversion, but Gu Baiyu had already reacted: "I am in the arms of the Marquis. The Marquis can still eavesdrop so intently. I just don't know whether the Marquis is calm in his arms or not. I’m not attractive enough.”

Xiao Yanlin was keenly aware of the displeasure of the person in his arms, and a sense of crisis came over him. He was thinking about how to appease his young wife in his arms. By the way, Yuan Yiyuan had just spoken, but he did not expect that the window of the second prince's box was suddenly opened from the inside.

The two froze for a moment.

In the room, Xiao Ruoyun stared at the eldest brother and sister-in-law hanging outside the window with wide eyes. He stuttered when he spoke: "Brother, eldest brother? Sister-in-law?!"

Gu Baiyu's face turned red with embarrassment, "Okay, what a coincidence. The scenery here is nice. Do you want to come and see the scenery too?"
