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

As soon as Xiao Yanlin returned to his mansion, he met Gu Baiyu who was coming towards him.

His wife greeted him as soon as he got home, and he was in a good mood.

In the outer courtyard, Gu Baiyu didn't have much to say. He accompanied Xiao Yanlin back to his room and changed his clothes. He poured Xiao Yanlin a cup of tea. After he finished drinking it, he talked about what happened in Xiao Ruoyun's courtyard last night.

Xiao Yanlin spoke much more straightforwardly than Lingyu, "You mean, are you afraid that Gu Ruanruan will go out and steal people?"

Gu Baiyu was also stunned after hearing this, and then said calmly: "Master Hou... It's not impossible for Master Hou to say this. I'm just afraid of this possibility. Master Hou knows that my sister... is really not a pure and kind person. People have wild tempers and are not controlled. I am afraid that something will happen in the future, which will harm the reputation of the Marquis House, and I am also afraid that the second master will be laughed at."

Xiao Yanlin was much calmer than she thought, and said, "Well. That's his own business. If the person he chooses can't even discipline a woman, what big things can he accomplish?"

When Gu Baiyu heard this, his focus was not on Xiao Ruoyun, but on one word in Xiao Yanlin's words——

"Discipline?"

Xiao Yanlin paused for a moment, feeling some secret regret in his heart, and changed his words: "If the two of them don't understand each other, Aunt Gu is a member of his courtyard, so she should be disciplined well... Madam, don't blame me, I have no contempt for women." ,only……"

Gu Baiyu looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, "Then if one day I disobey, will the Marquis also discipline me?"

Xiao Yanlin smiled, she was waiting for him here.

After thinking about it, he said: "Now everyone knows that in this prince's mansion, the wife is the biggest and should be disciplined, but it is not me who disciplines the wife, but the wife who disciplines me."

Gu Baiyu snorted softly, "Master Hou is more than ten years older than me. Can you obey my discipline?"

Xiao Yanlin held the person in his arms, with his slender waist between his palms. He couldn't help but reach out and pinch it. There should be a little red mark left on the area between the clothes yesterday, right here...

Gu Baiyu felt the movements on his waist and was a little annoyed: "Master Hou!"

Xiao Yanlin continued the movements with his hands casually, and replied: "I obey, why don't you obey? In this world, I only obey the madam. If the madam asks me to go east, I will never go west. If the rich man asks me to catch the dog, I will never Chase away the chicken.”

Gu Baiyu laughed angrily, this was really not what Xiao Yanlin would say, so he said: "Everyone should really see how Mr. Hou is afraid of his wife and strict about his wife!"

Xiao Yanlin suddenly raised his lips and smiled, "I am a strict wife. Doesn't everyone in Kyoto know about this?"

The couple joked for a while, and then continued talking about Xiao Ruoyun's previous story.

"By the way, the Marquis is going to court so late today, but did the Second Master tell His Majesty about the collusion between the Ministry of Works and the officials in the northwest?"

When Gu Baiyu asked, his tone was a little nervous, fearing that if this matter went wrong, Xiao Yanlin would be implicated.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanlin shook his head, his tone was calm, and it sounded calm, but Gu Baiyu always felt that there was some disappointment in his eyes.

"He didn't say anything. I don't know how Aunt Gu discussed it with him. Anyway, everything was calm this morning. He didn't collude with the people from the Ministry of Works, but he didn't report them to His Majesty either."

After hearing this, Gu Baiyu felt a little complicated.

Yes, Xiao Ruoyun has such a temperament. He is not bad, but he is indecisive, and his judgment is easily affected by others. I think he was persuaded by Gu Ruanruan yesterday...

She turned her head and said to Xiao Yanlin: "It doesn't matter. The preparations made by the Marquis in advance are not a waste. If something happens again in the future, there will be a way to deal with it..."

At this point, Gu Baiyu's words suddenly stopped.

Because she suddenly thought of something.

Gu Baiyu remembered clearly that in his previous life, Gu Ruanruan gave the drawing of the waterwheel to Xiao Ruoyun, and Xiao Ruoyun dedicated it to the emperor.

After the waterwheel was produced and witnessed its effectiveness, Emperor Longxin was so pleased that he immediately asked the Ministry of Industry and northwest officials to jointly put it into production.

It seems that something like this happened at that time.

The Ministry of Industry colluded with northwest officials to increase the cost of waterwheels. After the money was allocated to the northwest, they were exploited at all levels. The final waterwheels were not only small in quantity, but also of poor quality. Almost none of them could be used in farming. .

In order to cover up the matter, the officials in the northwest lied about the harvest, but the emperor did not know the reason for this. He thought that with this weapon, a bumper harvest in the northwest was inevitable, and besides, the people there reported good news but not bad news...

As a result, the taxation in the northwest was increased, which made the people in the northwest miserable and displaced. Many people even rebelled. In the end, the army could only be sent to suppress it...

Gu Baiyu didn't care what happened to the people in the Ministry of Industry. She cared more about the people in the northwest.

There are so many people and so many lives. Can she save their lives if she is reborn?

Xiao Yan saw Gu Baiyu's solemn look and his expression became serious, "But what kind of trouble did you encounter?"

Gu Baiyu felt very confused. She was trying to recall the memories of that period in her previous life.

"Master Hou, wait a minute, let me think about it...let me think about it again..."

Xiao Yanlin's expression softened: "Don't worry, what you want to say, you can think it over and tell me."

Gu Baiyu gradually fell into the memories of his previous life.

She remembered that in her previous life, Xiao Ruoyun did not seem to be involved in the collusion between the Ministry of Industry and Northwest China.

Gu Baiyu didn't know how he managed to stay on his own. She only knew that it wasn't until the uprising of the refugees in the northwest broke out that the corruption of officials in the northwest in collusion with the Ministry of Industry was exposed.

At that time, everyone in the Ministry of Industry, except Xiao Ruoyun, was sentenced to death by the emperor.

It was also at that time that Gu Ruanruan gave Xiao Ruoyun advice and asked him to plead hard in front of the emperor against all opinions and spare those people from the death penalty. Some of them who were not deeply involved were even restored to official positions later.

Since then, that group of people have been loyal to Xiao Ruoyun, and the Ministry of Industry has almost become Xiao Ruoyun's talking point.

After that, Xiao Ruoyun took the lead and personally set off to the northwest to supervise the manufacturing of a new batch of waterwheels. Finally, in the second year, waterwheels, a tool that was beneficial to farming, were spread throughout the northwest. Because of this incident, Xiao Ruoyun was in the northwest. Reputation soared.

At that time, Gu Baiyu was already exhausted in the back house.

Lord Zhou, the father of Concubine Zhou, once tried to find a way to meet her.

Mr. Zhou had a complicated look on his face at that time. He told Gu Baiyu that the reason why Xiao Ruoyun was able to stand alone in the corruption of ink, and later gained the trust of everyone in the Ministry of Industry, and even later came to the northwest and made such a career...

It was all Gu Ruanruan who was making suggestions behind the scenes.

She still remembered that Mr. Zhou shook his head and looked at her with pity: "You and your mother have misjudged the wrong person. You have mistook a jackal for a lamb..."

Thinking about it now, Gu Baiyu only felt chills in his heart.

As a man who manufactured waterwheels, was Xiao Ruoyun really unaware of the collusion between the Ministry of Industry and northwest officials for so long?

What kind of mood did he have, watching the people in the northwest live in dire straits before he appeared at the last moment, like a savior, first saving the people in the Ministry of Works, then the people in the northwest, and finally gaining both fame and fortune...

If the world she lives in is just a story, then Gu Baiyu has no idea how the plot will develop after her death.

But she knew that if no one stopped Xiao Ruoyun and Gu Ruanruan, they would most likely reach a position that was beyond Gu Baiyu's reach.

She still remembered that before she died, Gu Ruanruan once came to see her, with resentment in his eyes. When no one was around, he asked her why she didn't die yet?

It was said that Gu Baiyu had occupied the title of Xiao Ruoyun's wife for so long, so she could only stay by Xiao Ruoyun's side without knowing it.

She also said that she had lived in Gu Baiyu’s shadow since she was a child, and she hated Gu Baiyu so much...

The hatred in Gu Ruanruan's eyes makes Gu Baiyu feel cold all over when he thinks about it now!

And Xiao Yanlin not only showed kindness to her before she died, but even when Xiao Ruoyun proposed to marry Gu Ruanruan after her death, Xiao Yanlin strongly opposed it.

What will happen to Xiao Yanlin like this in the end?

Thinking of this, Gu Baiyu deeply realized the urgency of the matter.

She turned around and held Xiao Yanlin's hand tightly——

"Master Hou, I have something to tell you. Although it sounds incredible, you must believe me!"
