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

If it wasn't a grand court meeting, Xie Jin would not be qualified to attend the court.

When he came back from his business trip, he was shocked to learn that the deputy commanders of the Imperial Guard, Zhao Xiang and Pang Ming, had been demoted three levels.

Li Guojiu was under house arrest again.

He shouldn't have gone to Marquis Changning's Mansion last night.

It can be seen that Your Majesty knew that it was Uncle Li who was the mastermind and was trying to warn him.

Your Majesty already knows everything, so how long is it for Marquis Changning to know?

Although last night's actions could show goodwill to the Changning Marquisate, the Changning Marquisate is not stupid.

Xie Jin returned home absent-mindedly, worried that he would end up losing more than he gained!

At this moment, Gu Xirong was listening to Manager Xu talking about what was happening outside, with a frown on her face.

The shop is not making money. If it continues like this, it will have to close down.

"Don't worry, Manager Xu. The rainy days are almost over, and perhaps business will pick up." Gu Xirong instructed, "If you have some free time, go and find out what business the Changning Marquis' Mansion is doing recently."

Manager Xu looked up, puzzled, but didn't dare to ask more. "Yes, Miss."

Now that Manager Xu has resigned, the master can't make any money, and life as a servant is not easy either, it's very tight.

Gu Xirong rubbed her brows, feeling a little tired recently. "Xiuzhen, how is Sister Xiling doing recently?"

Xiuzhen replied, "Today the groom sent word that Miss Xiling went to the farm early this morning to visit the son of the Marquis of Changning."

"Keep watching, and report immediately if there is any movement." Gu Xirong gave instructions. She originally thought it would be easy, but she didn't expect things to be so complicated and intricate.

"Yes, Miss." Xiuzhen agreed, thinking about the things in the mansion, she hesitated, "Miss, there is something I want to tell you, but I don't know if I should tell you or not."

Gu Xirong frowned, "You and I have been master and servant for many years. If there is anything, just tell me."

Xiuzhen said awkwardly, "My dear Miss, I am afraid that you will be angry, and I am also afraid that you will be kept in the dark."

Hearing this, Gu Xirong sat up straight with a serious expression, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"Yes, Miss." Xiuzhen agreed and came closer. "Just now, the old lady took away 120 taels of silver from the account."

When Gu Xirong heard this, she slammed the table in anger, "The monthly salary will be distributed tomorrow. If all the money is taken away, what will happen to the dozens of people in the Xie family?"

"Where's Accountant Li? I told him at the beginning that no one can withdraw money without my pair of cards."

Xiuzhen replied, "Li was at some merchants' accounts, and the old lady smashed her husband's door lock with an axe and stole the silver."

"This..." Gu Xirong was so angry that she felt dizzy and said something she didn't want to say. "Thief, this is a family thief! How can there be such a shameless person?"

Gu Xirong retched in pain and vomited all over the floor.

Seeing this, Xiuzhen shouted, "Someone, come and get a doctor."

"No, it costs money to see a doctor." Gu Xirong waved her hand, feeling uncomfortable after saying this.

She felt like her life was a joke and she couldn't even bear to spend money on hiring a doctor.

Xiuzhen looked sympathetic, "Miss, you didn't have your period last month, and now you're retching, are you pregnant?"

Hearing this, Gu Xirong was startled. She touched her stomach with both hands and wanted to vomit again. "Take the money from my box and go get a doctor."

The maid cleaned up quickly, Gu Xirong rinsed her mouth, and lay down to rest.

Soon the doctor came and after taking her pulse, he confirmed that she was pregnant.

Just at this time, Xie Jin came back.

"Madam, are you feeling unwell?" Xie Jin asked with concern.

Gu Xirong looked shy, "Husband, you are going to be a father!"

Hearing this, Xie Jin laughed heartily, "Okay, everyone in the mansion will be rewarded!"

Gu Xirong gave Xiuzhen a look with a sad expression, lowered her eyes and said nothing. She did not become happy because of her pregnancy.

Xiuzhen understood and knelt on the ground with a plop. "Madam, even if you are angry and want to punish me, I will still tell you."

"Xiuzhen, stop fooling around. Get out and don't say anything." Gu Xirong's eyes turned red and she hurriedly tried to stop him.

Seeing this, Xie Jin looked suspicious, "Being pregnant is a good thing, Xirong, don't you want to give birth to my child?"

Gu Xirong choked up and shook her head quickly, "Husband, you are the only one in my heart, how could I not want to give birth to a child for you? It's just... forget it, husband, you'd better not listen to it, lest you get angry. I'll bear it, it will get over."

Xiuzhen hurriedly said, "General, the old lady brought people to break the door lock of the accounting office today and stole more than 100 taels of silver from the room. There is no money for tomorrow's monthly allowance. The lady was feeling unwell just now, and she asked for a doctor. It was the money that I saved."

"As long as Madam is well, I am willing to use my private money to hire a doctor for Madam, but I only have money to hire a doctor, not medicine. Madam has some jewelry, but I am afraid that if I pawn the jewelry, people will laugh at the Xie family."

"But Madam is weak and has worked so hard for the Xie family. Now she is pregnant and is being scolded by the old lady. General, if you don't make a decision for our young lady, I can only go back and ask for help from the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion and the Marquis of Changning Mansion."

When Gu Xirong heard Xiuzhen's words, she felt happy, but she couldn't show it on the surface.

She wants to maintain her image as a virtuous, generous and gentle person.

In particular, Xie Jin's face became more and more embarrassed and awkward. Gu Xirong pretended to stand up and slapped Xiuzhen.

"My husband has been working very hard outside. You, a slave, don't need to bother me. It's all because of my incompetence that I can't manage this family well."

"You are such a talkative maid. If you keep talking, I will get angry and send you out. Why don't you go down quickly?"

Xiuzhen bowed her head and kowtowed to Gu Xirong and Xie Jin. "Please forgive me, Madam and General. I just hope that the Xie family, the General, and Madam will get better and better. But now that my family has finally gotten better, and then..."

"It's all my fault for talking too much. The general should punish me if he wants to. Don't misunderstand my young lady. My young lady is in poor health now. She is pregnant and has nothing to replenish her body."

Xie Jin's expression became increasingly ugly.

Every word Xiuzhen said indicated that he was incompetent!

He was very tired of this feeling.

He was extremely annoyed by his mother's nagging and unreasonable behavior.

Seeing this, Gu Xirong slapped Xiuzhen again, "You are so bold, why don't you get off quickly? If you keep talking, I won't be able to keep you around me."

Xiuzhen's face was burning, painful and swollen. She wiped her tears and said, "Yes, I know I was wrong. I will leave now."

After saying that, Xiuzhen got up from the ground and walked out.

When they reached the corner outside, Soo-jin looked mocking.

Such a master is as quiet as a chrysanthemum, virtuous and generous. Everything is said by others, and she is the most innocent.

Xiuzhen considers herself unlucky to have such a master.

Anyway, she has done similar things many times and is very familiar with it.

As for the male master, General Xie, he was arrogant, vain, and foolishly filial. What she had just said was undoubtedly a slap in his face.

The beating I received today was not in vain.

The eldest daughter is pregnant and cannot serve General Xie.

In order to keep General Xie in the courtyard, the maidservants who came with the dowry would be asked to serve the male master.

Just now she ridiculed the Xie family for being poor and destitute. General Xie was arrogant and self-deprecating. When he saw her, he would probably think of his current predicament and look down on her, a sharp-tongued maid.
