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

Gu Chengyan held her hand and looked at her with a smile on his face. Xie Xiangxiang was immediately captivated by his gentle and caring gaze.

My face turned red and my heart was confused.

It's just a bit regrettable.

"The prince has already given me the supplies for the entire stretch of the Grand Canal." Gu Chengyan said gently, "Madam's money has all been used. I calculated that even if the relevant personnel exploit us, we can still earn two or three hundred taels of silver every day."

In fact, after deducting the tribute to the prince, he could earn at least 1000 taels of silver every day, but he wanted to leave the bulk of it to Guan Yingying and his son.

We can't give Xie Xiangxiang too little. She has to see the benefits before she will go all out and help him continuously.

He thought that if he gave her a profit of 300 taels a day, which was even better than usury, Xie Xiangxiang would certainly continue to find ways to raise money for him.

As expected, Xie Xiangxiang happily rushed over to hug him and said, "My husband is indeed the God of Wealth."

Gu Chengyan was almost broken by her hug.

I gently pushed her into the chair, squatted down, looked into her eyes, and said, "I'm going to the south, and it will take a long time for me to come back. You can live as comfortable as you want at home."

Xie Xiangxiang's eyes turned red: "How long will you be gone?"

"About three years. But I will come back every six months and bring you some profits."

Gu Chengyan: I’ve been back for three years... We can get a divorce now!

Xie Xiangxiang didn’t know what Gu Chengyan was thinking. She really loved him and couldn’t bear to leave him.

With tears in my eyes and a bitter heart, it can't stop a man from spreading his wings and flying high!

Just think about it, 300 taels of income every day, that's 10 taels a year, and she will have 30 taels in three years. With this income alone, she can beat Xie Zhaozhao.

With the love of her husband, the imminent wealth in Beijing, and the title of future Duke's wife waiting for her, her life can be considered perfect.

As they were talking, Xie Xiangxiang saw Chunling and Xiahua coming in carrying basins.

"Did you send the ice to your eldest sister?"

"Yes, the third lady also brought you two cucumbers."

Before Xie Xiangxiang could say anything, Gu Chengyan smiled and said, "Wash the melon, peel it, cut it into pieces, simmer it with ice, and give some to Madam to cool down."

Xie Xiangxiang asked Chunling: "Didn't you see your elder sister? I heard that Miss Zhang is here?"

Chun Ling said apologetically, "We didn't see the Third Madam. The guards at the door blocked us from entering. Manman had the ice carried in, and she was the one who brought the melon out as well."

Xie Xiangxiang sneered and said, "This is interesting. I sent her something, but she blocked the door and refused to let me in?"

Gu Chengyan knew the pettiness among women. Yingying once said, "In ancient times, women had no careers, so they only focused on the two acres of land in the backyard, and spent all day gossiping and spreading jealous rumors."

He sat on the usual low couch and said, "Your feelings are there. Even if you don't get in, she will know it's your feelings sooner or later."

"Why are you speaking for her?" Xie Xiangxiang said angrily, "She is your little aunt now."

Gu Chengyan smiled helplessly, pinched her nose, and said, "It's because she is your eldest sister, otherwise who would I know her as?"

"Just now, the courtyard said that the eldest daughter of the Zhang family came to visit my elder sister so late at night. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. No one knew what happened. Have you heard that something happened to the Zhang family?"

Gu Chengyan was stunned: "Miss Zhang came to ask Aunt San for help? Then she must be asking Uncle San for help."

"What's going on?"

"Today, Fourth Master Zhang said something wrong and offended Prince Consort Luo. It seems that Prince Qi was also involved. His Majesty has punished Minister Zhang to kneel outside the Imperial Study for a day."

Gu Chengyan was of low rank and could not receive instructions from the emperor in person, but he knew everything that happened in the palace, especially the major events of property confiscation and family extermination.

As expected, Xie Xiangxiang suddenly became energetic: "Is the Zhang family very troublesome?"

"Of course, the Crown Prince is adamant about this, Princess Xiyan has also gone to the Queen Mother to complain, and Prince Consort Luo even knelt outside the palace to beg Your Majesty to give him justice."

Gu Chengyan was not exaggerating. Although it was just an ordinary joke, in the royal family, it would be a matter of genocide.

Xie Xiangxiang was extremely happy, but she was afraid that Gu Chengyan would misunderstand her as vicious, so she suppressed her happiness and said, "No wonder Zhang Yanyan came to see my eldest sister. It turns out that for such a big matter, I'm afraid no one else can help except my third uncle."

When Gu Chengyan thought of his third uncle, his eyes darkened. He was also jealous of this little uncle!

Over the years, Third Uncle has been famous, but he has been overshadowed by others. If it weren't for Guan Yingying's poems in the early years, who would he be? Where did he come from?

He raised his eyes again, still gentle and moist: "This is not an ordinary lawsuit, it involves great disrespect. If Third Uncle forcibly intervenes, it will definitely bring disaster to himself."

"Miss Zhang is very close to my eldest sister, so she will definitely not ignore it." Xie Xiangxiang said, "I'm afraid Third Uncle will suffer the consequences."

"Uncle San is not an ordinary person. He knows the interests involved and will definitely not care about this matter."

Third Uncle and Minister Zhang don't have any deep friendship. Third Uncle is of the same mind as Your Majesty, so he won't get involved in this mess.

"Chengyan, what if Third Uncle intervenes and insists on helping Zhang Hexuan?" Xie Xiangxiang asked in a somewhat anxious tone.

She now urgently hopes that Xie Zhaozhao will use her sisterly love to instigate Lord Gu to interfere in the Zhang family's affairs.

Gu Chengyan took a sip of tea.

Guan Yingying once said that women's jealousy is much more terrifying than you can imagine. Once they become jealous, they will not hesitate to die together with the other party. The viciousness of their means and thoughts is more terrible than removing bones and digging out hearts.

Third Aunt is better than Xie Xiangxiang in every way. Xie Xiangxiang must have hated her eldest sister for a long time.

Even if he went to deliver ice, he might not be delivering ice, but to inquire about the news, right?

In this case, he asked Xie Xiangxiang to owe him a favor and work for him wholeheartedly. If Xie Xiangxiang could be loyal to him, it would not be impossible for her to stay for a few more years.

Thinking of this, he said seriously: "If Third Uncle bends the law for Third Aunt's sake, or does something behind the scenes, then the Crown Prince will not be a pushover. Together with the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Princess, Your Majesty will not be able to protect Third Uncle."

Xie Xiangxiang almost jumped up, and tried hard to suppress her excitement and asked, "Really? Does that mean that Third Uncle is likely to be dismissed from office?"

"More than that! If you are unlucky, you will be beheaded and exiled."

"This way, my elder sister will no longer be able to suppress me in everything."

Xie Xiangxiang was afraid that Gu Chengyan would look down on her for her evil intentions, so her eyes turned red as she said, "My husband doesn't know that she said at her mother's house that you are just an empty title of nobility with no real power... I am really so angry, but I dare not say anything, for fear that my husband and Third Uncle will become estranged."

Hearing these words that were obviously meant to sow discord, Gu Chengyan also actively cooperated: "Ms. Xie looks dignified, but her mind is so dirty? She looks down on me so much, so I don't need to be polite."

"What shall my husband do?"

"Of course I have to report to the prince that the harem is interfering in the court, and that my third uncle is playing power games and disrespecting the royal family."

Xie Xiangxiang thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell him for now. Wait until he really gets involved before you sue him. Then say that it was my eldest sister who started this."

"Of course. Third Uncle has always been rational. He can do such a thing. It's just that a hero can't resist the temptation of beauty."

"Chun Ling, Xia Hua, you take turns to keep an eye on Qing Pu Yuan and listen for any movement from your eldest sister."

Gu Chengyan said: "No need, I have someone too."

"My dear husband, you are so good to me." Xie Xiangxiang said to Gu Chengyan gratefully.

Gu Chengyan: I don’t know what’s wrong with this brain…
