After Xiuzhen left, Gu Xirong's face turned pale and she looked increasingly weak.

She looked at Xie Jin with red eyes, "Husband, don't be angry. Xiuzhen, she won't dare to do it again. She just looked at me..."

After saying this, Gu Xirong's body was shaky.

Xie Jin quickly supported Gu Xirong, "My dear, I am angry at my mother, but... Never mind, the more I talk, the angrier I get."

"You take a rest first. I will send mother away tomorrow and let her stay at the farm. I won't let her come back to avoid making a fool of herself again."

Gu Xirong shook her head and comforted him softly, "Husband, mother, hey, as a daughter-in-law, I can't say anything. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little grievance. But husband, you are an official, you can't spread a bad reputation."

"As for the silver, I will pawn my jewelry tomorrow and give the monthly wages to the servants first. Otherwise, people in the mansion will be uneasy and I don't know how bad it will sound if the news gets out!"

Xie Jin was touched. "My wife is so kind. I will find a way to get some money as soon as possible so that you won't be in such a difficult situation."

Gu Xirong rubbed her brows, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "My husband, Prince Ning has a rebellious heart. We have sent a letter to the Changning Marquisate. What is the result now? If Prince Ning is caught, we can make a fortune now!"

Hearing this, Xie Jin instantly became excited.

He lost money on medicinal materials last time, and now his family is broke. He wants to disguise himself as a bandit and rob money.

"Madam, what's your plan?"

Gu Xirong narrowed her eyes slightly. "When I was unconscious at noon, a house appeared in my mind, and boxes of gold and silver were carried out of it. Those were the silver that Prince Ning had hidden away, and they were going to be transported back to Jingzhou."

Hearing this, Xie Jin's eyes lit up, "Where is the silver that Prince Ning hid?"

Xie Jin helped Gu Xirong and asked her to sit down.

Gu Xirong rubbed her brows and said, "There were a lot of peach blossoms in the dream, peach blossoms all over the mountains, and in a remote valley, there was an inconspicuous three-story house."

"Peach blossoms?" Xie Jin thought, the peach blossoms were everywhere in the mountains, "The only ones around the capital are Princess Lan Xin and Mei Lin."

Gu Xirong nodded, "I think it's there too. Princess Lan Xin holds the Merlin Banquet every year, and I've been there before. It's just that the place is different from the banquet. The place where the silver was hidden in my dream is very remote."

Xie Jin was very excited. His business was not making any money, so now he had a chance to rob his fellow criminals, and he absolutely could not miss it.

"Madam, could you foresee in your dream how I, Prince Ning, would be captured?" Xie Jin asked.

Gu Xirong frowned, "I don't know how Prince Ning was captured, but in my dream, after Prince Ning was captured, he faked his death, hid in a coffin, and secretly left the capital."

In fact, as for the things in her past life, Gu Xirong was just a woman in the rear house. Even if she knew, she would only know roughly and not in such details.

Xie Jin paced back and forth in the hall, thinking rapidly.

"My dear husband, I think that as long as you find out that Prince Ning has been arrested, you can immediately take the silver that Prince Ning has hidden. Princess Lan Xin does not want to be implicated by Prince Ning, so even if the silver is gone, she dare not look for it in a big way."

"Also, if Prince Ning faked his death and was caught by my husband, this would be a great achievement. The Marquis of Changning would do his utmost to stand at the forefront and face the revenge of Prince Ning's remnants, and even the hatred of Princess Lanxin."

"We are waiting for the oriole behind us. We can take advantage of the time when Prince Ning is imprisoned to do this thing without anyone noticing. My husband, what do you think? If it doesn't work, forget it. We can live a hard life in our mansion. I'll pawn my jewelry and we can still make ends meet."

"I don't mind. As long as I am with my husband, I am happy with the hardship and lack of money. But my mother-in-law is different. Today she smashed the door of the accounting office and took away the urgently needed money in the account. Who knows what she will do in the future."

"At home, everything is fine. I am the daughter-in-law and you are the son, so we can forgive the mother-in-law. But what about people outside? Your husband has worked hard to make plans outside and keep a low profile. It is really not easy."

Xie Jin, who was a little hesitant at first, finally made up his mind when he thought about how his family was so poor that they couldn't even pay the servants' monthly wages.

"My lady, please be patient and wait at home. I will go and get some information." Xie Jin decided to take a risk and not be constrained by lack of money.

Gu Xirong lowered her voice and said, "Husband, you must find someone you can trust."

Xie Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes became a little colder, "Don't worry, my lady, I will make my own decision."

When Xie Jin's figure disappeared into the night, Gu Xirong drank the chicken soup brought by Xiuzhen leisurely.

She doesn't want to live in such poverty for even a single day!

As for the mother-in-law smashing the accounting office, it was just one of her bargaining chips to persuade Xie Jin.

Gu Xirong looked at Xiuzhen's red and swollen face and was quite satisfied. "You did a good job today. You are a loyal person. Go down."

Xiuzhen lowered her head and said, "Yes."

When Gu Xirong's mouthpiece was used as a substitute, all he got was a word of loyalty, no reward, and no medicine to reduce the swelling.

Just now she saw happiness and satisfaction in Gu Xirong's eyes, and in the reflection of her eyes was her ugly swollen, purple face.

Xiuzhen knew that Gu Xirong simply could not tolerate having a pretty woman around her.

Even during her pregnancy, serving her male master was doomed to a bad end.

Xiuzhen became more determined to remain loyal to Miss Xiling. After returning to her room, she found a pen, ink and paper from under the bed and wrote down what she had just overheard.

"Prince Ning, Meilin, Princess Lanxin." Xiuzhen was a little far away at the time and could only vaguely hear these words.

Although she couldn't guess it, Miss Xiling was so smart that she should be able to think of it.

Write a small note, put it in a dried wine bottle, plug it with a cork, and secretly place it in the dog hole in the yard under the cover of night.

Early in the morning, before daybreak, someone came to collect the night incense.

After passing the wall, he paused for a moment, touched the wine bottle in the dog hole, took out the note from it, stuffed it into his arms, and put the wine bottle back to its original place.

After collecting the night incense from one street, the car was full and we drove out of the city.

When Gu Xiling woke up in the morning, Xiulan was holding the "letter" from Xiuzhen.

Gu Xiling saw the few words that didn't form a sentence and slowly pieced them together.

Could it be that something of King Ning is hidden in the plum forest? Or is this the base of King Ning?

Gu Xiling couldn't keep such a big event to herself. She wanted to tell Zhou Jin and let him understand that the officialdom is treacherous and the career path is difficult.

When Zhou Jin finished reading, he frowned slightly, "Princess Lan Xin is the sister of Prince Ning. She was once reprimanded by His Majesty and fined for three years because she stole someone else's husband and kept a concubine, which was disrespectful to the royal family."

"Princess Lan Xin has lost all her dignity, so it is understandable that she hates Your Majesty. Of course, she wants to see Prince Ning take the throne, so she can do whatever she wants."

"It's just that although there are courtyards over there in Merlin, they are mostly corridors and halls for flower viewing and banquets, and are not suitable for storing gold, silver, jewelry, or prohibited weapons."

"If there really is something here, it must be either underground or deep in the valley of Merlin, with a place to stay."

Gu Xiling was surprised. "Your Highness is right. This is a matter of great importance. I will return to the city immediately. But Your Highness, please stay at the manor."

Zhou Jin was worried and patted his legs. These were things he should have done.

"However, at this time, my father is in the government office. You can only tell him such confidential matters in person and not let anyone else know."

Gu Xiling chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I have a legitimate reason to look for my father, and I guarantee no one will suspect me."

"What's the reason?" Zhou Jin was stunned and felt something was wrong.

Gu Xirong's eyes were cunning, "Guess!"
