Gu Baiyu felt very confused and panicked. Whenever he thought that Xiao Yanlin might be in danger in the future due to his own reasons, Gu Baiyu's heart felt as if someone had stabbed him so hard that he could hardly breathe.

She didn't know how to explain her prediction in advance, just like the banditry before getting married, which might be unbelievable to outsiders.

But Gu Baiyu also clearly remembered what Xiao Yanlin said to her last time. He said that no matter what he said, he would believe her.

It was the same this time. The palms were held backwards, and a steady stream of heat came from the place where the two palms met, which slightly relieved Gu Baiyu's anxiety.

Xiao Yanlin looked firm: "Do you still remember what I said to you before? No matter what you say, I believe you."

This sentence was like a reassurance, allowing Gu Baiyu to slowly stabilize his mood.

"Master Hou, the collusion between the Ministry of Industry and officials in the northwest cannot be allowed to develop like this."

Gu Baiyu calmed down and told Xiao Yanlin his memory in a speculative way.

Including the possible consequences, the safety of the people, and the possible increase in taxes by Emperor Ye, they were all stated in one breath.

Finally, Gu Baiyu said again: "If this is true, there is a riot in the northwest, and the prince holds military power. If His Majesty sends the marquis to quell the rebellion, can the marquis really have the heart to point his sword at the people of Daye?"

In her previous life, Xiao Yanlin had been ordered to go to the northwest to quell the rebellion. She didn't know the specific situation. She only knew that the riot was quickly quelled, but no matter how many casualties there were, Xiao Yanlin had a reputation of being murderous and bloodthirsty, while Xiao Ruoyun was After the riots were calmed down, the savior usually went to the northwest. Comparing the two, the people simply regarded Xiao Ruoyun as the god of salvation.

Maybe Xiao Yanlin doesn't care about this, but since Gu Baiyu is by his side, he won't allow such a thing to happen!

Xiao Yanlin listened patiently to what Gu Baiyu had to say. He raised his hand and pushed his hair, which was a little messy due to excitement, behind his ears. He said gently, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't let this happen."

Gu Baiyu was miraculously comforted: "What does the Marquis plan to do?"

Xiao Yanlin stroked his hair for a moment, and then said: "I will discuss it with a few trusted colleagues and subordinates first. Don't worry, I will come up with a solution. But there is one thing..."

He looked at Gu Baiyu with a serious expression: "Don't tell anyone about your guesses. If you hear anything related to them in the future, don't say that you already knew about them."

Gu Baiyu nodded, she knew Xiao Yanlin was protecting her.

Such speculation is too ridiculous. If someone knew it was her idea...

If things happen as she guessed, then she will definitely be accused of being a woman involved in politics, alarmist, and deceiving the public with her monstrous words;

If things really develop as she thinks, then the situation may be more serious.

A housewife who could predict the future, she couldn't imagine what kind of situation she would find herself in. At worst, she would be executed as a ghost, or at worst, she would bring down the whole family...

Xiao Yanlin must have thought of this, just like the last time he suppressed bandits, Xiao Yanlin always said to the outside world that he discovered the banditry, just to get married with peace of mind. Until the banditry was wiped out, no one in the world knew about this incident and She related.

He has been protecting her.

Thinking of this, Gu Baiyu's heart started to rise again. If she couldn't do such unpredictable things, could Xiao Yanlin do it? Will you encounter any danger?

Seeing Gu Baiyu's worried look, Xiao Yanlin patted her back soothingly: "There will definitely be a way, don't worry now, I will be the first to tell you when there is a perfect way, okay?"

Gu Baiyu nodded, and Xiao Yanlin's voice was gentle and magical, calming her fast heartbeat.

This matter was not a trivial matter, and neither of them had any intention of chatting with each other anymore. Xiao Yanlin ate something at the house and hurried out of the house.

After Xiao Yan left, Gu Baiyu immediately found the old housekeeper, summoned the servants of the Hou Mansion, reorganized the rules of the Hou Mansion, and dealt with a few restless servants to scare the monkeys, hoping that by beating them, they would not do anything during this period. Things that harm the face of the Hou family.

Gu Baiyu knew that the overt and covert fights in the court were not that simple.

If Xiao Yanlin chooses to get into the muddy waters of the Ministry of Industry and Northwest China, it will undoubtedly affect the interests of both parties, and a fight will ensue, which is almost inevitable.

And this kind of struggle is not just superficial, any mistake or omission related to Xiao Yanlin will become the reason for the other party to criticize Xiao Yanlin.

Gu Baiyu couldn't help much with matters in the court, so he could only try his best to stabilize the Hou Mansion and the rear for Xiao Yanlin, so that he could handle this matter without any worries.

Gu Baiyu made a lot of noise this time, and Gu Ruanruan also got the news.

When the old housekeeper sent someone to ask Licorice to go to the front yard, she was carrying heavy bedding to dry in the yard.

When someone spoke to her, Licorice turned her face away unconsciously, and faint traces of a slap could be seen on the left side.

"Wait a minute, I'll tell Aunt Gu and I'll go right away."

The visitor nodded: "By the way, there's also Miss Ganoderma, let's hand it over too."

After a while, Licorice came out with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Now that Ganoderma lucidum is serving my aunt closely, I won't be able to leave for a while..."

The visitor was thoughtful and didn't say much. He just took Licorice and left first, and then reported the truth to Gu Baiyu, including the injuries on Licorice's face.

Gu Baiyu nodded, feeling satisfied.

Lingzhi was the person she arranged to go to. She was the one she chose in advance. She found an excuse to scold the person in the garden where Gu Ruanruan often went. As expected, Gu Ruanruan took the bait and asked the person to leave.

Now it seems that Ganoderma lucidum is indeed clever. Not only does she win the favor of Xiao Ruoyun, but Gu Ruanruan is also served obediently by her.

Lingyu said from the side: "Why don't we call it Ganoderma lucidum?"

Gu Baiyu shook his head, with a smile on his lips: "It's a good sign, why not add more firepower, Aunt Gu needs a confidant around her, it's best to be someone who won't arouse suspicion even if she does something for me in the future."

After Gu Baiyu said that, he called the old housekeeper: "Since we are setting rules for the servants, how can Aunt Gu not be present? Ask her to come and listen together, so as not to serve the second master poorly in the future."

"Besides... Lingyu, please ask someone later to find out what mistake Miss Licorice made that made Aunt Gu so angry that she even beat the maid."

The old housekeeper turned his eyes and passed the words to Gu Ruanruan unchanged.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Gu Ruanruan was easily aroused: "Why are you scolding the subordinates for joining me? I will also be the subordinate?"

While Lingzhi was beating Gu Ruanruan's legs with just the right amount of force, she said casually: "It's good for my aunt to go and have a look. My wife is a good housekeeper. All the servants will be here today. It's good for my aunt to show up and learn from me." , if the madam is too harsh, she will inevitably need some words from my aunt to persuade her, so that the servants will not feel resentful towards the madam."

What Lingzhi said was very interesting. She revealed three pieces of information to Gu Ruanruan:

One is flattery, madam, housekeeper, you go and learn, you will also have opportunities in the future;

The second is to remind the servants that the servants will be present today. Many people only recognize Gu Baiyu, but do not know Gu Ruanruan. Showing his face more often can let the servants know that there is a master in this mansion who can be loyal to;

The third suggestion is that if Madam punishes her severely later, Gu Ruanruan can just be a good person, win over people's hearts, and prepare for the future seizure of power in the harem.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Gu Ruanruan looked at Lingzhi with admiration: "I need smart people like you around me."

After that, he stood up and said, "Let's go and see Madam's majesty."
