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

Nanny Yuan looked suspicious and asked cautiously, "Madam, do you have any tricks?"

The Marquis's wife personally assigned her to serve the Crown Prince's wife, and she was the person with the primary responsibility.

If the prince and his wife are getting along, she will be rewarded; if they are not getting along, she will be beaten with a stick.

Gu Xiling smiled faintly, "I can't say it. It will be useless if I say it out."

Nanny Yuan and Xiulan looked at each other, both very confused, not knowing what the Crown Prince's wife was talking about!

After returning to the Changning Marquis Mansion, Gu Xiling went to the main courtyard to pay her respects to her mother-in-law, Song.

The wife of Marquis Changning had long known that although Prince Zhou Jin had gone to Gu's house, he left without saying goodbye, without even having lunch, leaving Gu Xiling alone to face the turmoil in her natal family.

She was upset that her son Zhou Jin was not careful enough and lost face.

Seeing Gu Xiling not crying or making a fuss, but respectfully greeting her, Song couldn't help but feel guilty, "Xiling, don't be angry, the Marquis and I will reprimand the prince later."

Gu Xiling came over, stood beside her mother-in-law, and massaged Song's shoulders. "Mother, you and father-in-law should not scold the prince. In fact, the prince feels very bitter. The prince is well-behaved and polite, and he will slowly adjust in the future."

"I firmly believe that time can heal everything, so there is no need to rush. You are in charge of the entire mansion, and you are worried about me and my husband. It's too hard. Mother, you must take care of yourself!"

Song was stunned for a moment, but as Gu Xiling massaged her, she relaxed and felt warmed. "How do you know that my shoulder hurts?"

Gu Xiling spoke slowly and gently, "After returning to the Gu family, I learned that there was a marriage between the Gu family and the Zhou family, so I asked someone to inquire. I learned that when the prince was seven years old, he was seriously ill. His mother carried him from the foot of the mountain of Jinguang Temple to the top of the mountain. It took three hours and her arms and shoulders were exhausted. How could she not have a root cause of illness?"

Song reached out and patted Gu Xiling's arm, her nose slightly sour, the panic and fear of losing her son that year was still fresh in her memory, "Good boy, it's all thanks to your fortune, otherwise the prince might not have survived that disaster."

Gu Xiling shook her head. "The prince and I were very far apart at that time. Xiling dare not take credit for it. It must be my mother who moved the gods."

Song's words were very comforting to her. She patted Gu Xiling's hand and said, "Good girl, my Zhou family is lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you who is considerate and sensible."

"I know my son. The prince is aloof, but not bad. If you behave well and have more patience, he will see the good in you."

Gu Xiling nodded and chuckled, "Xiling has always believed this. Mother is a good manager. Even though the prince and I are not actually husband and wife, no one treats us badly. In fact, it is all because of mother's care. I am very grateful to her."

This is the truth.

If it were another family, the groom would not have had a wedding night that night, and the two of them would have quarreled, and the bride would have been unable to live with it.

Song was very satisfied with Gu Xiling's understanding, gentleness and patience.

Nanny Yuan and all the maids and servants were reprimanded on the spot, and no one was allowed to treat the prince's wife badly.

Nanny Yuan couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the Crown Prince's wife only massaged the Marquis's shoulders and won over the rule-conscious Marquis.

Now that the prince is still being arrogant, it is only a matter of time before he falls into the prince's wife's "bowl".

Return to Zizhu Garden.

Gu Xiling took off her outer clothes, removed the precious pearls and jade in her hair, and changed into simple and light clothes.

Feeling a little sleepy, Gu Xiling dozed off against the window while smelling the fragrance of flowers outside the window.

Outside, Xiuzhu pulled Xiulan to the corner of the yard and said anxiously, "Xiulan, is Miss Xirong really favored?"

Xiulan pried Xiuzhu's hand apart, "Sister Xiuzhu, Miss Xirong's favor is her business, and has nothing to do with us. Our current master is Miss Xiling, no, the Crown Prince's wife."

Xiuzhu pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and showed hesitation, "Xiu Lan, don't you find it strange? Miss Xirong and the prince were clearly in love before, and she had a fight with Miss Xiling and fell on her head at the same time."

"After that, Miss Xiling stopped clamoring to marry the prince and agreed to marry General Xie. What's even more unimaginable is that Miss Xirong, who had managed to secure a good marriage, actually gave it up and cried and begged to marry General Xie."

Xiulan also couldn't understand why Gu Xirong had said before that she felt sorry for the deceased old lady and didn't want to take over her position.

As a personal maid, she knew Gu Xirong's character well and she didn't believe a word she said.

"Sister Xiuzhu, no matter what, we have now followed Miss Xiling to the Changning Marquis' Mansion. We must serve Miss Xiling well in the future. Don't say things like today in the future. If someone hears it, someone will inevitably make up a story that Miss Xiling is saying, 'Look at me, I made a mistake again. It's the Crown Prince's wife.'"

Xiuzhu smiled awkwardly, "I don't mean any harm, I mean well. Since the prince likes Miss Xirong, why don't we dress up his wife like Miss Xirong, wear her clothes, and persuade her to learn Miss Xirong's manners and speech. Wouldn't that win the prince's favor?"

Hearing this, Xiulan was stunned and took two steps back, "Sister Xiuzhu, why are you talking nonsense like this? If the wife of the Crown Prince wanted to learn, she would have learned it long ago. Why did she wait until now without any action?"

"From this, it can be seen that the Crown Prince's wife is just herself and will not learn from anyone. Sister Xiuzhu, please don't do anything unnecessary. If you annoy the Crown Prince's wife, she will definitely punish you."

Seeing that Xiulan didn't approve of her, Xiuzhu pursed her lips and said, "The prince hasn't come yet, how can his wife get pregnant? If his wife can't get pregnant, how can we serve him? When will we be able to give birth to a child?"

Hearing this, Xiulan quickly covered Xiuzhu's mouth and said, "Sister Xiuzhu, are you going to die? How dare you say such a thing?"

Xiuzhu pried Xiulan's hands apart, "We are all maids who came with the dowry. When the Crown Prince's wife is not available, shouldn't we serve the Crown Prince? "

She was obsessed with betraying her master Gu Xirong, whom she had served for seven years, and followed Gu Xiling to the Changning Marquis' Mansion just for the status of a concubine.

She was sold to the Jingyang Marquis's mansion at the age of seven. Accustomed to the luxurious living and lavish spending of wealthy people, Xiuzhu no longer wanted to be a servant, nor did she want to leave the mansion and marry someone easily and live a hard life.

If she became a concubine, she would be half a master; the children she gave birth to would also be the masters and ladies of the marquis's mansion.

Xiulan shook her head repeatedly, "Sister Xiuzhu, I don't want to be a concubine. I don't know about other families, but in Jingyangbo's mansion, how many maids and concubines died because of climbing into the bed, you should know."

Xiuzhu frowned, "Xiulan, are you willing for you and your children to always be servants?"

Xiulan was confused and shook her head, "I don't know, but I know I don't want to be a concubine."

After saying that, Xiulan left in a hurry. She didn't want to continue chatting with Xiuzhu for fear of getting into trouble.

Xiuzhu looked at Xiulan's back as she left, squinting her eyes slightly. She didn't believe what Xiulan said.

A concubine who doesn't want to become a concubine's wife is not a good dowry maid, and if she doesn't help the lady to win favor, she will have even less chance.

Xiuzhu usually works in Zizhuyuan. In her spare time, she gets along well with the servants in Changning Marquis' Mansion and slowly builds up her own network of contacts.

But no matter how long she waited, there was no sign that the Crown Prince's wife would give in. The Crown Prince became even more arrogant, leaving early and returning late, and he just refused to come to Zizhu Courtyard.

This made Xiuzhu, the maid who came with the dowry and was eager to make progress, very anxious!
