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

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze recovered and rushed to the ancestral hall, "Xi Ling, how are mother and madam?"

When Gu Xiling saw Xiao Cui being captured and Marquis Changning coming back, she knew she had succeeded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, grandmother and mother are all fine. They are in the secret room right now. It's just...it's just..."

Marquis Changning was startled, and as he rushed into the ancestral hall, he hurriedly asked, "Just what?"

Gu Xiling pointed at Aunt Bai, who was lying on the ground with blood on her chest, and said, "Father, it seems that your favorite concubine is no longer useful."

Upon hearing this, the elegant and handsome face of Changning Hou was startled, and he said awkwardly: "It's all just a show, don't take it seriously!"

The dying Aunt Bai slowly opened her eyes. When she heard Marquis Changning's words, her pupils shrank drastically, "My Lord, you..."

Marquis Changning did not come closer, his expression was stern and his eyes were cold.

"If I hadn't discovered that you had poisoned me, I might have really been poisoned! Now I can't stand, I can only kneel down and beg you and Xiao Cui for the antidote."

"Before you die, I will let you be a wise ghost. In your next life, remember this: even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How can a person who can abandon even his own children be considered a human being? He is worse than an animal!"

"You...will die a horrible death!" Aunt Bai's eyes flashed with ferocity. She spoke with all her strength, and blood spurted out of her mouth.

"You'll die first anyway!" Chang Ning Hou changed his usual elegance and spoke venomously, "Come here, carry him out and burn him, grind his bones and scatter his ashes!"

"Yes, my lord!" Butler Zhou was shocked. He seemed to have missed something, but when he saw Aunt Bai was dead, he suddenly felt very happy.

Soon Aunt Bai was pulled out and the servants quickly wiped the blood off the ground.

Gu Xiling turned the candlestick, and the door of the secret room opened. Her grandmother and mother-in-law supported each other and stood at the door of the secret room.

"Grandma, mother, why didn't you lock it from the inside?" Gu Xiling was a little angry. If something unexpected happened and she didn't follow her arrangements, she would be in a passive position.

Gu Xiling really didn't like this feeling, it made her feel like she might be doing useless work!

The old lady of Changning Marquis had a kind look in her eyes. She was not angry at all, but was very relieved. "Child, if you die, how can your mother-in-law and I live alone?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiling shook her head and laughed, but she had to "teach" the disobedient elders a lesson.

This is not the first time something like this has happened, and it won't be the last.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Xiling wanted to "establish her authority".

“I have martial arts skills. If I can’t beat them, I can still run away! You guys didn’t obey me and didn’t lock me from the inside. If I’m caught by the thieves, how can I run away? If I don’t die, you will kill me!”

"If grandma and mother are caught, even if I have a thousand abilities, I can't save both of them at the same time! If you encounter such a situation again, don't worry about others, just protect yourself, and that's it."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old lady of Marquis Changning had a kind face and nodded repeatedly. She was very obedient.

She walked to Gu Xiling's side with a cane, and with her skinny hand, she held Gu Xiling's arm and shook it, "I remember what my granddaughter-in-law taught me. I will be obedient in the future and not overestimate my own abilities."

Just like how Gu Xiling usually acted coquettishly around her, her tone was full of dependence.

Song was also smiling at this time. She took Gu Xiling's other arm and patted her gently.

"Xi Ling, don't be angry! We didn't know your ability before and were worried about you. From now on, my mother and I will stay away and not hold you back."

This daughter-in-law is really brave when encountering troubles!

He was willing to protect her and her mother-in-law even if it meant putting himself in danger.

Who would do this if they were not blood relatives?

This would only happen if she and her mother-in-law were considered as close relatives!

Gu Xiling, who was originally angry, did not expect that her grandmother and mother would be so kind in their attitude of "admitting their mistakes". She prepared a lot of persuasion, and it actually came in handy. "Grandmother, mother, don't blame Xiling for being rude."

"No, why would I blame you? It's obviously us who were wrong!" The old lady smiled and felt more and more pleased with Gu Xiling.

Master Yuanhui, your calculations are so accurate!

Gu Xiling is the best daughter-in-law in their Changning Marquis Mansion.

Marquis of Changning Zhou Ze, who was originally full of worries, felt jealous when he saw his mother and wife coming out of the secret room and circling around his daughter-in-law Gu Xiling.

Is this still his old mother who would beat people with her cane whenever she disagreed with him?

Is this still his first wife who never smiles and is cold to everyone?

It turned out that his mother had beaten him with her cane!

His first wife, Mrs. Song, was not cold by nature. It turned out that she was just cold to him!

Gu Xiling accidentally saw her father-in-law's complicated look, feeling both envious and jealous, and quite puzzled.

She quickly changed the subject, "Grandmother, mother, father is back, the mansion is safe. The prince is at the farm, he should be okay, right?"

The three of them were stunned when they heard this.

Song and her mother-in-law looked at each other, and then looked at Marquis Changning, "My Lord, have you arranged everything on the farm?"

Marquis Changning was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Let's not talk about the guards around Jin'er who are all excellent fighters picked from a hundred. Have you forgotten who the people in that manor are?"

Hearing this, the old lady laughed out loud, "Yes, yes, yes! Look at my brain, I actually forgot, it doesn't work well when I get older!"

Seeing the old lady like this, Gu Xiling looked suspicious, "Grandma, what are you and father talking about? Tell me quickly, what is so special about Zhuangzi?"

The old lady restrained her smile and said, "That Zhuangzi is a member of our Changning Marquis's Mansion. Most of the young men have joined the army or served as guards in our mansion."

"Many veterans who had fought in hundreds of battles retired after the Marquis passed away. Although they are old, their martial arts skills have not declined."

"It's fine that Prince Ning's men didn't go to the manor, but if they did, no one would come out alive! Unless all of these troops die in battle, they will never let anything happen to Jin'er."

Gu Xiling suddenly understood what was going on when she heard this. "I understand. No wonder my sister was caught so quickly when she sent people to destroy the wheat in the field last time."

The old lady nodded and said, "It's almost the fourth watch now. Let's not sleep and gather in the ancestral hall to prevent any more thieves from attacking us!"

Marquis Changning nodded, "Yes, mother."

The Changning Marquis Mansion is so large, and the courtyards where the masters live are separate. If the thieves defeat them one by one, it will be difficult to concentrate forces for rescue.

The bloodstains on the floor of the ancestral hall were cleaned, and the bronze incense burner that Gu Xiling had thrown into the yard was also picked up and placed on the table.

Butler Zhou brought another futon, and several people sat down and listened to Marquis Changning's account of what happened that night.

There was unrest in the Changning Marquis Mansion in the city, and there was no peace in the farms on the outskirts of the city either.

At midnight, the killers in night clothes sneaked into the manor and were discovered by the secret sentry.

If it were normal times, there would be no secret sentries deployed, but because the prince is here, everything is arranged according to wartime arrangements.

The secret sentry pulled the rope and the bell in the manor rang.

The guard came over immediately and reported to Lai Fu who was sleeping on the couch outside, "Prince, there are unknown people coming to the manor. I will take you to hide first."

Lai Fu was startled, and quickly got up and put on his outer clothes, "Prince, let's hide quickly."

But the person on the bed didn't move, and Lai Fu became suspicious.

He didn't care about so many things at this moment. He immediately pushed aside the cloud gauze curtain and touched with his hand. He only touched two pillows. Where was the prince?

"Where is the prince?" Lai Fu was shocked.

Why did his son disappear? Could he have been carried away by thieves?
