Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Lord Gu grabbed her hand, pulled her from behind, and held her in his arms.

"Tell me, what are you thinking about?"

"I didn't think anything of it."

"No, you must be thinking about something, and it's related to me, and it's not a good thing!"

"Concubine..."

"I told you, you are not allowed to call me concubine. When we are alone, we should just call each other you and me!"

"I, I didn't think anything!" Being held in his arms, she felt the beast's kisses and claws, ready to attack.

Seeing her blushing face and pink ears, Gu Shaoyu said dangerously, "Shall we discuss this in depth?"

"No." She struggled to get down. How could this man be like this?

"Then tell me what you are thinking about. We are husband and wife, husband and wife for life. I hope that my wife and I can not only be equals, but also have a mutual understanding. Xie Zhaozhao, are you willing?" The man became serious again.

Xie Zhaozhao was a little hesitant. Should he reveal all his thoughts?

In her previous life, Gu Chengyan had been acting for his entire life, but she lost so completely. Gu Shaoyu is his uncle. Could it be that the Gu family is full of acting masters?

He must be a good actor, otherwise, how could he have entered the cabinet at such a young age?

Xie Zhaozhao's eyelashes trembled violently. Gu Shaoyu knew the way a big family educated their daughters. He couldn't correct it all at once, but she would understand over time.

"I naturally hope to be in tune with you for the rest of my life, without hiding anything from each other or deceiving each other," Xie Zhaozhao said with his eyes lowered.

She was destined to be unable to hide it, and her rebirth was a secret she would never tell anyone in her entire life.

Gu Shaoyu looked at her and thought that she might not trust him, so he said, "I can keep all the secrets and lies to you for the rest of my life. Also, I will not take concubines, have a maid, or have a mistress."

When Xie Zhaozhao heard the words "keeping a concubine", she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him. His eyes were black and white, which showed the selfless clarity in his heart.

Suddenly I felt a little touched, and I don't know why my eyes became red.

Gu Shaoyu immediately understood that this little guy must have been worried that he would have a mistress!

He hugged her tightly and said, "You know that I care about the people and the prosperity of Daqian. I didn't marry earlier, not because I wanted to devote myself to the people, but because I really haven't met someone I like."

"It was on the day of the Shangsi Festival. Your Majesty left the palace in plain clothes. I accompanied your Majesty. We were both at the Huguo Temple. We all saw you praying that day."

Xie Zhaozhao’s eyes widened.

"You didn't expect it, did you?" Gu Shaoyu touched her head and said distressedly, "The abbot said that you never play in the water with others during the Shangsi Festival every year, but always pray in the temple. I was moved."

Not only on the Shangsi Festival, but also on her birthday every year and all the major festivals, she would pray in the temple.

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and said, "My mother died because of me. I hope that she can be blessed by God and live a peaceful life in the afterlife."

Gu Shaoyu hugged her tighter and said, "I will go with you to pray for my mother-in-law in the future."

Xie Zhaozhao hugged his neck and whispered, "Thank you..."

She won't be alone anymore.

At the end of the Yin hour, Xie Zhaozhao and Gu Shaoyu were both awake.

Xie Zhaozhao's biological clock was such that he would get up early every day to pay his respects to his grandmother; Gu Shaoyu had to go to court and was used to getting up at this time.

Yuanyuanman got up early, ground the soybeans that had been soaked overnight with a small grinder, filtered out the bean dregs with gauze, and boiled soy milk in the small kitchen.

Manman knows how to cook tofu. She made a few bowls of salty tofu pudding and added some dried shrimps, green onions and sesame oil.

Steamed buns, steamed cakes, rice porridge, and dumplings were prepared in the big kitchen of the public school. Nanxing and Moyan went to get them and arranged them perfectly for Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao.

The breakfast was much richer than the usual breakfast in the marquis' mansion.

Xie Zhaozhao said to Gu Shaoyu: "I want to open a small kitchen, will mother agree?"

"Why would she disagree?" Gu Shaoyu said, "Just go ahead and open it. Don't worry about who agrees or not."

Xie Zhaozhao said embarrassedly that he still needed his mother's consent.

Gu Shaoyu went to court, and Xie Zhaozhao went to sit with the old lady. Tu, Gu Boyu's concubine Wang, and Lu from the second house and other female members of the marquis's mansion were all there.

The granddaughters, including Gu Jiaojiao, Gu Yanyan, Gu Huanhuan and other legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters, are all there.

Xie Zhaozhao paid her respects to the old lady, greeted her sisters-in-law, and then sat down obediently next to Lu, the wife of the second wife.

The old lady originally wanted to call Xie Zhaozhao to the head of the table. After all, she was now a first-rank official, and Xie Zhaozhao had the highest status among those present.

But Xie Zhaozhao was modest and sat next to Lu.

Xie Xiangxiang arrived not too late and sat next to Tu.

The old lady smiled and asked the two new brides, "Are you used to living in the mansion? I have told my in-laws that I will treat you as my own daughters, and you must also treat the mansion as your own home."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded: "Mother is right, I will definitely obey."

Xie Xiangxiang also thanked the old lady, but she smiled and said, "Grandma, everything else is fine, but can the food in the mansion be more abundant?"

That means the food in the mansion is not good.

Second wife Lu and the concubines all nodded their heads eagerly. Who doesn’t want better food?

Tu's face looked very ugly. Want to eat something better? She wanted to, too!

She was in charge of the finances of the Marquis's Mansion. The mansion was not wealthy to begin with, and now he had married two wives in succession. He paid 15,000 taels of silver to Yin Jin'an, and also had to pay 4,000 taels of silver in compensation for Guan Yingying's ice shop (60,000 taels were paid by Cheng'en Mansion, and Gu Chengyan compensated for the loss of 4,000 taels). The account was empty for a long time.

The old lady naturally knew the difficulties in the mansion, and she actually wanted Xie Zhaozhao to take over the household affairs.

With Xie Zhaozhao's dowry, even if other people in the marquis's mansion didn't have a penny of income, it would not be a problem to support them for decades relying solely on Xie Zhaozhao's dowry.

But, this cannot be said. Who would want to eat up his wife's dowry?

Besides, the first and second wives are both here, so it doesn’t make sense for the third wife to be in charge of the household.

Tu looked at Xie Xiangxiang and said sarcastically, "The Marquis's Mansion is not like the Xie's Mansion. It doesn't have that much foundation. Now, the income is not enough to make ends meet. It's already racking their brains to be able to eat six dishes."

Xie Xiangxiang frowned: "What about the income from the shop in the mansion? The weather is good now, so is the harvest on the farm good?"

Tu said angrily, "Does the Crown Prince's wife want to be the head of the family?"

"I dare not!" Xie Xiangxiang originally didn't have this idea, but when Tu asked this, her eyes lit up.

Her mother fought for everything all her life, but never had complete control of the household chores.

The financial affairs of the Xie Mansion have always been in the hands of my grandmother and that of Aunt Xu.

My mother got angry in the yard countless times. Although she was nominally in charge of the household affairs, she was watched very closely. Whether my mother was there or not had no effect on the household affairs.

If she was in charge of the household, she would be the top steward of the mansion, and everyone in the mansion would have to act according to her wishes.

Especially Xie Zhaozhao, if he wants to eat a few dishes, it all depends on whether Xie Xiangxiang is willing to give them to him!
