After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

The smile on Gu Rou's face disappeared instantly, and she pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly and said, "Are you joking with me again, big sister?"

Gu Jin supported his chin with one hand, smiling like the moon, "Do you think I'm that humorous?"

Gu Rou only felt her head buzzing, her brain had lost control of her facial expressions, and there was only one voice left in her heart, that is, Gu Jin was lying, she was just coveting the things Xie Qing gave her so she lied on purpose.

Gu Jin curled his lips and hooked his finger towards Ruyi.

Ruyi understood and immediately poured a cup of tea into Gu Jin's hand.

Gu Jin: “…”

Right after I praised her for being clever, this little girl started to act silly. Why serve tea at this time!

"House deed!"

Ruyi was stunned for a moment before she reacted and hurried to the inner room to find the land deed.

Gu Jin shook her head. When she watched costume dramas before, she thought the most powerful people were the maids and servants. They knew what to do immediately with just a glance from their master.

She thought this was a compulsory course for all maids, but now it seems that this thing also depends on talent.

"I am not as well-educated as my sister. Please help me check if this is the house deed of Jinyu Pavilion." As soon as he said this, Gu Jin felt that the smell of tea was too strong.

It can be seen that this large courtyard is really not a good place. It has made her, the sunny and cheerful successor of socialism, become a treacherous person.

Gu Rou didn't notice it, her attention was all on the house deed in her hand.

She tried hard to find the flaw, but in the end she was left with nothing but despair.

Gu Jin curled his lips and lightly took back the deed from Gu Rou's hand, "Thank you for your support today, sister. It made me earn money without leaving home. I will treat you to tea some other day."

The two knives stabbed Gu Rou to the core, it was truly a heart-breaking blow.

The more proud and arrogant Gu Rou was just now, the harder she was slapped in the face now.

When Gu Rou thought about how she had just shown off the jewelry from Jinyu Pavilion, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Gu Rou stood up and was about to speak, but Gu Jin asked, "Second sister, are you a little tired or did you remember that you have something to deal with in the courtyard?"

Gu Jin waved his hand considerately, "I understand, I understand, go back quickly."

Gu Rou: “…”

Gu Rou gritted her teeth and left, but just as she reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw servants carrying boxes of gold given by Emperor Hui'an in.

Gu Rou only felt a boundless grievance and anger rushing from the bottom of her heart to her forehead. Suddenly, her eyes went dark and she staggered away with the support of Hehuan.

Gu Jin contentedly stroked the cold and round gold ingot, the love in his eyes was so strong that it could be drawn, "Look at these lines and colors, it is really a unique and beautiful scenery in the world."

Although Ruyi was happy for Gu Jin, she was a little worried, "Madam, aren't we being a little too high-profile?

I have heard a saying that goes, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." I am worried..."

Gu Jin rubbed Ruyi's head and said earnestly: "Silly child, if you always worry that your light will hurt other people's eyes, then you will never become gold.

The strong prey on the weak, this is the eternal law of survival. No one in this world will show special kindness to you just because you are weak. Instead, you will only be eaten up by the weak and trampled by the strong.

If you don’t want to be destroyed by the wind, then grow as tall as you can, so that no one can do anything to you! "

Ruyi nodded as if she understood, but she felt that Gu Jin seemed to be glowing at this moment, as bright and dazzling as the sun and the moon in the sky.

Xie Ran was walking to the door when she heard Gu Jin's words. Her heart moved slightly. She was indeed not willing to accept this.

He was also very curious about what she wanted.

Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard Gu Jin say to Ruyi again: "But I revealed it to Gu Rou not just to show off, but also for the advertising effect."

Xie Ran and Ruyi both had the same confused expressions.

Gu Jin explained: "Whether it is to cause trouble for me or to attract hatred from your Third Young Master, Gu Rou will definitely spread the news so that everyone will be interested in me, the general's wife.

Think about it, no matter what I do, there will be people paying attention to me. At this time, I don’t need to bother to promote my shop. They will come to my shop on their own. How can my business not be prosperous? "

Xie Ran: “…” Can’t this woman have something else in her mind besides money?

Xie Ran had selfish motives in giving this shop to Gu Jin. He had previously revealed to the assassin that he cared a lot about his newlywed wife Gu Jin. At this time, if Gu Jin went to Jinyu Pavilion, she would be a sitting duck, and the person behind the scenes would definitely find ways to get close to her.

He had felt a little guilty, but that was gone now.

They both get what they need, just right.

……

Zhilan Palace.

Concubine Jiang looked at Princess Jingmin, who was stung so badly that even her own mother couldn't tell, and flew into a rage, "Is this how you take care of the princess?"

“My Imperial Concubine, please spare us, Imperial Concubine, please spare us!” All the palace maids in Zhilan Palace were trembling with fear and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

Yun Bi said in a trembling voice: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, it is all our fault that we failed to protect Your Highness.

But the wasp appeared too suddenly, and we servants could not have anticipated it."

Looking at Yunbi's red and swollen face, Concubine Jiang's anger subsided a little. She frowned and asked, "Why did a wasp appear in the Imperial Garden out of nowhere?"

"This..." Yun Bi couldn't understand it. Normally, if two bees appeared in the garden, they would be dealt with by the palace servants to prevent the nobles from getting hurt. This was the first time she had seen so many hornets.

She suddenly remembered something and rolled her eyes. Concubine Jiang noticed it and immediately asked, "But what did you think of?"

Yun Bi hesitantly recounted what happened in the Imperial Garden today, "I remember that it was after Gu Jin asked Your Highness if he was afraid of being punished by God, that was when wasps appeared in the Imperial Garden.

But it must be a coincidence. After all, Gu Jin is not a god, so how could he attract so many wasps? "

Concubine Jiang narrowed her narrow eyes and told the imperial physician, "Go check Jingmin's coat to see if there is anything wrong with it."

A woman who can hold a high position and great power in the harem does not rely solely on her birth and beauty. Boundary and beauty are the bottom line for women in the harem, but her brains and skills determine the upper limit of what she can achieve.

The imperial physician received the order and hurried to check Princess Jingmin's outer clothes, but the clothes were already wet, and the imperial physician found nothing after checking for a long time.

This was also the reason why Gu Jin suggested that Princess Jingmin hide in the water. Although the ancient imperial doctors might not be able to detect modern medicines, Gu Jin still kept a trick in advance for safety reasons.

"Mother." Princess Jingmin's face was more swollen than at the beginning. She held Concubine Jiang's hand and cried, "Mother, it must be that Gu Jin who cursed me, so I was stung by a wasp. You have to help me."

Princess Jingmin was born bright and beautiful. If she cried in the past, her face would have been very charming. But now it just looks funny.

Concubine Jiang frowned, pulled back her hand, and said indifferently, "Jingmin, how did I teach you in the past?

A princess should be noble and dignified, look at yourself, what do you look like?"

Although Princess Jingmin was arrogant and domineering outside, she always respected her mother. Hearing this, she lowered her head silently and said, "I know I was wrong."

Concubine Jiang sighed angrily when she saw her like this, "Your father has only one daughter like you, and he has always doted on you.

You can't marry any man you want. Xie Ran is already married, so why are you still thinking about him?"

"But I only like him." Princess Jingmin replied weakly. She couldn't help but tear up when she thought of Xie Ran and Gu Jin together.

"Love is the most useless thing. Lifetime honor is what you should consider." Concubine Jiang was born into a prominent family, the Jiang family. The current empress dowager is her aunt. She knew what she wanted since she was a child.

Seeing the stubbornness in Princess Jingmin's eyes, Concubine Jiang knew that she couldn't change her mind with just a few words, so she lost her patience and lowered her eyes coldly, saying in a calm voice: "Remember to apply the medicine I gave you, don't leave scars on your face."

As soon as Concubine Jiang stepped out of the palace gate, she heard Princess Jingmin throwing tantrums and smashing things inside. Concubine Jiang's eyes grew colder, "She has grown up so much but still hasn't improved. It seems that I have really spoiled her."

"Your Majesty, your love for him is so deep that you are so strict with him. His Highness is still young, so Your Majesty will teach him slowly." The female official Qingshuang advised softly.

Although Concubine Jiang was angry at Princess Jingmin for not living up to her expectations, she was even more annoyed with Gu Jin.

"However, a mere girl dares to challenge the princess's authority. I haven't seen such a bold person in a long time."

Concubine Jiang's eyes moved slightly, and her delicate red lips pulled up into an extremely beautiful and extremely cold smile, "I remember that my sister-in-law's birthday is in two days. After all, Xie Ran is a minister that His Majesty values. Remember to ask the Jiang family to send a letter to Gu Jin as well."

Qing Shuang understood and smiled faintly, "Yes, Madam. I understand. I will definitely ask the Li family to take good care of Madam Xie the Third Young Master."
