Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Butler Zhou's face was filled with grief and indignation. He recounted everything that had just happened. "...The leader is called Pang Ming, and he said he was following the orders of the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, the thief Zhao Xiang."

After hearing this, the elegant and handsome face of Marquis Changning moved slightly, and he smiled with a dagger hidden in his heart, "Okay, Pang Ming? Zhao Xiang? Let's see whose dogs they are."

Steward Zhou replied, "My Lord, just now when the guards on high ground saw our Changning Marquis's Mansion being surrounded by the Imperial Guards, there was a carriage at the turn of the road. As for who was sitting inside, it is unknown."

"Yes!" Marquis Changning nodded, "How is the mansion?"

Housekeeper Zhou replied, "The old lady, the marquis' wife, and the prince's wife are in the ancestral hall right now. I have to praise her. Although the prince's wife is young, she is quite courageous. She looked very domineering when she was holding the gold medal."

When Marquis Changning heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, "It's hard for her to stand up and protect her elders!"

This daughter-in-law is so smart. Not only is she virtuous, but she can also build a family and avoid risks.

This time, we were able to successfully capture Prince Ning thanks to our daughter-in-law Gu Xiling.

Marquis Changning knew very well that he might not be able to escape, and that the Marquis Changning's Mansion might not be able to escape unscathed from this rebellion.

Upon learning that his mother, wife, and daughter-in-law were all safe, Marquis Changning turned and headed straight for Lanyuan.

Seeing this, Housekeeper Zhou sighed, "My Lord, you can't be obsessed with beauty. When the mansion was in trouble, only three mistresses stood up. Aunt Bai, not only did she not show up, she also asked the kitchen to prepare a table of delicious food for us to enjoy."

"Before the old marquis died, he asked me to advise him. Even if he was angry, I would still say it. Our Changning Marquisate is small in number, and you are also stupid. No wonder someone dares to bully us now."

While Marquis Changning was reviewing the entire event in his mind while going to Lanyuan to capture Xiao Cui, he did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard what the old butler said.

"Uncle Zhou, you misunderstood!"

Butler Zhou looked puzzled, "I didn't misunderstand you. You should go to the ancestral hall first and bring back the old lady, the madam, and the prince's wife."

"Uncle Zhou, I'm not going to favor Bai, but to capture someone." After saying that, Changning Marquis Zhou Ze stopped explaining and entered the Orchid Garden.

But Aunt Bai was not in Lanyuan.

"Where is Aunt Bai?" Marquis Changning asked the maid in Lanyuan calmly.

The maid replied hastily, "Aunt Bai learned that there was a crisis in the mansion, so she took Xiao Cui to the ancestral hall to serve the old lady, madam."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Changning's face changed drastically. He turned around and ran quickly towards the ancestral hall.

At this time, Aunt Bai came to the ancestral hall.

Nanny Song and Nanny Yuan, who were guarding the entrance to the ancestral hall, shouted, "Madam Bai, this is not a place for you to come. Go back quickly."

Which concubine is qualified to come to the ancestral hall?

Aunt Bai shrank back two steps, raised her eyes to look at the old lady and the lady in the ancestral hall, Gu Xiling, "I heard that something happened in the mansion, and I also wanted to help."

“No need, go back to your room and stay there quietly. After daybreak…” Before Nanny Song could finish her words, her body went limp and she fainted.

Not only Nanny Song, but all the maids outside collapsed to the ground.

Although Gu Xiling was praying, her five senses were sharp.

She heard some noise outside and learned that Aunt Bai had come over. She also heard that the nanny outside had suddenly fallen silent.

Gu Xiling immediately stood up, turned the candlestick, and opened the secret room, "Grandma, mother, go in quickly, there is chaos outside."

Before the old lady and Mrs. Song could react, Gu Xiling grabbed them one by one and brought them to the door of the secret room.

Xiao Cui came in and saw the three female masters of the Changning Marquis Mansion who were about to enter the secret room, and immediately threw a flying knife at them.

Xiao Cui received an order from Prince Ning to control Marquis Changning's family and to control Marquis Changning and his son in all aspects, making them serve her and not daring to rebel.

If she lets these three people into the secret passage, not only will she fail to complete her mission, but when Chang Ning Hou returns tomorrow, King Ning's purpose will be exposed, and King Ning's plan will fail.

Gu Xiling moved her ears slightly twice, gave a gentle push, and pushed the old lady and Song directly into the secret room.

She moved nimbly and with a roundhouse kick, at the critical moment, her pearl-embroidered shoes hit the dart that was shining with a cold light.

The dart was kicked and spun in the air, turning in circles, making a "whoosh" sound and flying in the direction it came from.

Xiao Cui couldn't dodge in time, so she reached out and pulled Aunt Bai beside her to block in front of her.

The flying knife hit Aunt Bai's chest!

"Ah!" Aunt Bai screamed, and blood instantly stained her snow-white clothes red. She looked at Xiao Cui in disbelief, "You...you actually..."

While Xiao Cui was dodging, Gu Xiling turned sideways and raised her hand to turn the candlestick. "Lock it from the inside and wait for me to catch this female thief!"

"Xi Ling!" The old lady and Mrs. Song staggered and fell to the ground after entering the secret room.

With a muffled sound, the door of the secret room was closed.

Without the elders getting in the way, Gu Xiling can let go and do her best.

While dodging the darts thrown by Xiao Cui, Gu Xiling reached into the hem of Horse-faced Furong's skirt and pulled out two daggers from her thighs.

Xiao Cui was shocked. She looked at Gu Xiling who nimbly dodged the dart in her hand and asked, "Do you know martial arts?"

"What's the big deal about knowing martial arts?" Gu Xiling said coldly. It is true that villains often die because they talk too much.

If Xiao Cui's plan just now had failed and she had taken the opportunity to escape, she might have had a chance to survive.

But she was so arrogant that she didn't even run away!

Gu Xiling threw a dagger towards Xiao Cui from behind the pillar, quickly covered her nose with a special handkerchief, and rushed towards Xiao Cui like a tiger descending from the mountain.

She wants to capture Xiao Cui alive and force her to give her the antidote!

The sharp dagger flew straight towards Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui dodged quickly, but a large clump of her hair was cut off and fell to the ground.

The dagger stabbed heavily into another pillar not far away, making a loud "buzzing" sound.

The sound of fighting in the ancestral hall attracted the guards.

When Marquis Changning saw many guards rushing towards the ancestral hall, he knew that something had happened there.

All the blood in his body rushed to his head, his heart beat faster, his breathing became rapid, and his eyes were fierce!

Prince Ning, this bastard who can control all the bastards with poison, how could he let his family go?

He must have given Xiao Cui orders to control his family so that no matter what the circumstances, they would not dare to rebel.

Since Prince Ning is so unethical, he must die, and all of Prince Ning's descendants must also die!

Xiao Cui heard the noise outside. She knew her mission had failed and could not continue fighting, so she turned around and rushed to the door, ready to escape.

But as soon as she ran into the courtyard, she was surrounded by guards from all sides.

Both the long sword and the short bow were aimed at Xiao Cui, and Marquis Changning also arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall at this time.

Seeing there was no hope of escape, Xiao Cui was about to bite the poison in her mouth into pieces.

How could Gu Xiling let Xiao Cui fulfill her wish?

She grabbed the bronze incense burner from the table where the ancestral tablets were enshrined and threw it at Xiao Cui.

It hit Xiao Cui right on the back.

Xiao Cui only felt a pain in her back, her throat felt sweet, she felt dizzy and was about to fall.

Butler Zhou stepped forward, pinched Xiao Cui's chin hard, and took out the poison for suicide from Xiao Cui's mouth, "You want to die? How can it be so easy? Tie him up!"
