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

This lie was full of loopholes, but Xie Xiangxiang believed it.

She said disappointedly: "Why should they run away? I have arranged a future for them."

Qingpu Courtyard.

Manman quietly reported the information he had heard.

"I heard that the prince was angry with the second young lady, and they had a quarrel behind closed doors, but then the prince coaxed the second young lady into happiness and said he wanted to adopt a child!"

"I heard it's a boy. Something happened in his family. He's looking for a good family. He doesn't want money, just a good person to adopt him."

Xie Zhaozhao thought, could it be that he was adopting Gu Yuebai?

Ask Manman: "What does the second young lady mean?"

"The Second Miss was very unhappy at first, but then for some reason she became very happy and asked the Prince to bring the child over to see."

Aunt Cui was surprised and asked, "She wants to adopt someone else's child after just getting married? And she's so happy about it?"

"Yeah, isn't it strange?" Manman spread out his hands and said, "A lot of things the Second Miss did this year are incomprehensible."

Xie Zhaozhao thought that it took her three years to adopt Gu Yuebai after she got married. But they were in a hurry. They wanted to adopt a child not long after the wedding?

Suddenly she thought that Xie Xiangxiang was reborn, and she understood it all at once!

Is Xie Xiangxiang sure that the child she adopts will become the top scholar?

Just like in her previous life, her adopted son Gu Yuebai became the top scorer in the imperial examination during the reign of Emperor Xiao of Daqian (after the crown prince ascended the throne, the reign was named Xiao).

She is the wife of a duke and also the wife of the top scholar in the imperial examination. Who can compare to her wealth and status?

Xie Zhaozhao figured it out and just smiled without telling Yuanyuan. The child they wanted to adopt was most likely the one from Tin Hau Lane.

On this day, when Lu went to pay her respects to the old lady at Ci'en Courtyard, she was so happy that she wanted to transfer the matter of inheriting the title to the second house.

The first wife has only one legitimate son, Gu Chengyan, and there are two illegitimate sons. However, the second wife has a legitimate son, so the title will naturally be passed on to the legitimate son.

"Have you checked the prince's body? The earlier the diagnosis and treatment, the easier it will be to recover." While Lu was talking about recovery, it was hard to say what she was thinking.

After hearing what Lu said, Tu naturally refused to acknowledge it. She knew whether Gu Chengyan had any problems or not. Her grandson was almost four years old, so how could he not be okay?

"The prince is in good health, why is he seeing a doctor? Is there nothing to do with the money?" Tu said angrily, "They have only been married for a few days, why are you checking?"

Mrs. Lu said innocently, "Why are you angry, sister-in-law? Didn't you find the prescription in the prince's wife's room a few days ago? I am also concerned about the prince."

"It was that bitch Xiang Xing who was causing all the trouble. She was the one who messed up all the things in that box. What does it have to do with you, my Lord?"

Gu Chengyan did not tell Tu about the death of Xiangxing and the other two. Tu simply thought that the three of them were sold out and there was no evidence to prove it.

Mrs. Lu looked at Xie Xiangxiang. She looked haggard, probably because she had suddenly lost three capable assistants from her mother's home and was in a daze.

Lu shut up unwillingly.

Xie Zhaozhao served as a background board throughout the whole process.

After the second and third wives left, Tu was left behind by the old lady.

The old lady ordered Taxue to close the outer door: "Taxue, you guard the door. I have something to discuss with the Marquis' wife."

Tu was anxious and asked, "What do you want, mother?"

The old lady asked if there was something wrong with the prince. There is no smoke without fire. Why was there such a prescription in the prince's wife's room?

Tu was about to use Xiang Xing as a shield again, but the old lady said, "Don't say they did it, I don't believe it. Tell me honestly what happened."

Tu spread her hands and said, "I really don't know what's going on. I've asked Yan'er about this, and he said it's not okay to do it to Xie. I guarantee with my life that he is definitely not wrong..."

The old lady smiled at him like an idiot: "You promise? You promise with your life? Did you get the doctor's confirmation?"

You can't possibly see him having sex with your own eyes, can you?

Tu couldn't bring Guan Yingying out, so she could only say, "Mother, I can guarantee that Yan'er will be fine. Besides, we've only been married for a few days, how can you say there's no problem with having children? I don't know who the prescription is from, how can it be attributed to the prince?"

The old lady couldn't help but remind him: "Second Miss Xie, you are still a girl."

"That can't be said to be the prince's problem, maybe she has her period!"

Seeing that Mrs. Tu was lying, the old lady said angrily, "I checked Mrs. Xie's menstruation, and she didn't have her period. Her body was clean and healthy. If the prince was a man, he would have consummated the marriage long ago."

The old lady meant that the Tu mother and son were colluding to lie in order to keep their titles.

Tu cried out that he was wronged.

The old lady couldn't get any information out of him, so she said, "Give the prince half a year. If he can't have a child, then adopt one from the second wife or one of the eldest master's illegitimate sons and raise him under your lap."

Tu was very unhappy. How could she be so desperate for a great-grandson? There was no throne waiting to be inherited!

The old lady was so angry that she was shaking. She pointed at her and said, "If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. What's the point of waiting until the present moment? It doesn't matter if you don't consider it. Anyway, I have three sons, and any one of them can inherit the title."

Tu had her mind set on this, and didn't care about the old lady's worries at all. She just told her that the old lady should just take good care of her health as she was old.

Ever since Gu Chengyan found the prescription for treating kidney deficiency, he suddenly felt scared.

Xie Xiangxiang and Guan Yingying are very similar in some aspects of their personalities. He can fool her once or twice, but he can't fool her three or five times.

Just when he was worried, Shi Xiu came to see him.

"Gu Shizi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants you to come over." Shi Xiu said with a smile, "That's a good thing, Gu Shizi."

"What good thing?"

"His Highness has decided to give you the job of purchasing materials for the Grand Canal project. Prince Gu, this is a very lucrative job."

All of Gu Chengyan's bad mood disappeared, and he said excitedly: "Really? It's finally settled? Your Highness's great kindness, I will never forget it."

Shi Xiu smiled and said, "We know that the prince is happy."

The Crown Prince was in charge of the Grand Canal project, and the specific executor was Wei Shixun, the seventh grandson of Duke Cheng'en, who was responsible for the subcontracting of the Grand Canal overall project.

Wei Shixun had communicated with the prince long ago, and he did not make trouble. Instead, he gave the task of purchasing grain for the extension section of the Grand Canal to Gu Chengyan.

"Prince Gu, we will recruit 50 civilian workers for this canal excavation, and the construction period is three years. If we assume one pound of grain per person per day, that's 50 pounds per day. The current market price of grain is 3-4 cents. Your Highness is kind, so I'll give you 8 cents. You can also quote another 4 cents for transportation and loss fees, so you can earn at least to taels a day."

Gu Chengyan said gratefully: "It is all thanks to the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Seventh Young Master. Chengyan is deeply impressed."

Wei Shixun signed a contract with him and frankly accepted his bribe of 3000 taels of silver.

After coming out of Duke Cheng’en’s Mansion, Gu Chengyan swept away all his previous depression and really wanted to yell at the sky.

Since the establishment of Daqian, the price of grain has been relatively stable, basically around 2-4 cents for several years. He also learned about the transportation costs, which is 12 cents per catty. Even if the prince takes the bulk of the profit, he has still made a fortune.

He went to South City excitedly, and he wanted to tell Guan Yingying the good news.

In Tianhou Alley, I pushed open the door and saw Gu Yuebai scolding a chicken in the yard: "You bastard, you actually pecked my ass..."
