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

Xiuzhen was stunned. "That shouldn't be the case, right? The eldest lady always needs someone to help her do things!"

Xiulan shook her head, whispered a reminder, and handed Xiuzhen a packet of medicine.

"Others may not know what kind of temper the young lady has, but don't we know it? Anyway, if you find that the young lady has such signs, use this thing on yourself."

Xiuzhen was shocked. "What...what kind of medicine is this?"

Xiulan replied: "The wife of the prince promised you before that she would rescue you from the Xie family, but she never had a suitable reason. If you work for the eldest lady, she will not let you go easily."

"You don't need to take this medicine orally. When you apply it on your body, your skin will develop small bumps and blisters, and you'll also have a fever. It looks scary, but it's not life-threatening."

"Of course, don't use it unless it's absolutely necessary. This is a guarantee given to you by the Crown Prince's wife. If you want to use it, use it. If you don't want to use it, find another way."

Xiuzhen immediately took it, her eyes red, "Thank you, sister Xiulan, and thank the Crown Prince's wife for me."

Xiulan comforted him, "Don't cry, we are all servants, we just hope to live according to our own ideas. There will always be a way out. I have to go back to the Marquis' Mansion, goodbye! If you have anything, remember to pass on the message."

"Yeah!" Xiuzhen nodded, and suddenly saw someone coming over, "Xiulan, go back and tell the Crown Prince's wife that my wife is much better!"

Xiulan left the Xie family and returned to the Changning Marquis' Mansion, where she told the Marquis's wife about her visit to the Xie family.

The marquis' wife, Mrs. Song, was curious, so she asked her maid to wait for the marquis at the door.

Marquis Changning was busy outside today. When he learned that Xie Jin had gone to Jinlinwei, he was in a good mood.

Everything is under his control, and he is trying to poach Li Guojiu's people again.

If you can’t dig it out once, or twice, what about three times or four times?

Trust is limited. When suspicions are raised one after another, Your Majesty would not believe it even if Uncle Li had no intention of rebelling.

What's more, the Li family also has Li Mu, a man who appears to be a waste but is ambitious.

The downfall of the Li family is only a matter of time.

As soon as he entered the Marquis's mansion, the maid came forward and said, "My Lord, Madam asked you to go back to the mansion and go directly to the main courtyard."

When Marquis Changning heard this, he felt better and when he passed by the waterside garden, he even looked at his reflection in the water.

Facing the water, I tidied my hair and clothes.

The lady fell in love with him because of his handsome appearance. If you want to win back the lady's heart, you can't be careless about your appearance!

The long-servant Lai Yun saw the Marquis posing in front of the water and secretly rolled his eyes.

No matter how beautiful it is, what’s the point if the Marquis’s wife doesn’t like it?

Arriving at the main courtyard, Marquis Changning laughed out loud and said, "Madam, you specially asked someone to invite me. What do you want me to do? I will do it."

When Song heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "My Lord, I have nothing serious to do. I just want to ask you about the situation at the Xie family."

Marquis Changning was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but he was thick-skinned and still as cheerful as a spring breeze.

"Xie Jin saved himself. Although he had no way out, it was the only way to get him out of the quagmire. However, he went to Jinlinwei to report Li Guojiu, which was considered to have offended Li Guojiu to death."

Madam Song thought about it. She didn't know much about the affairs of the court, and she didn't understand a lot. "Gu Xirong asked Xiling for help, but Xiling refused. What happened to the Xie family won't affect us, right?"

Marquis Changning shook his head. "Xi Ling was right to refuse. Xie Jin wanted to use the Marquis Changning Mansion to fight against Uncle Li. We don't have much friendship with him, so it's not worth our effort. No one from the Marquis Jingyang Mansion is willing to help, so it's not our turn."

"Besides, His Majesty values ​​me, but he is also afraid that I will form a clique for personal gain. If I don't help Xie Jin, he will gain His Majesty's trust. If I help him, Xie Jin will be in trouble!"

Hearing the answer from Marquis Changning, Song heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good, Xiling is smart, if you have something urgent, please discuss it with Xiling and Jin'er."

"I'll listen to my wife." Marquis Changning said with a smile, "It's my wife's birthday in a few days. How about we go to the manor to celebrate her birthday together?"

Song missed her son. "I haven't been there since Jin'er got into trouble. Now that everything is peaceful, it's a good time to go out for a walk! I can also take a look at how the wheat that Jin'er and Xiling value is growing."

Seeing that Song agreed to his proposal, Changning Marquis Zhou Ze was overjoyed, "Okay, I will arrange it for your husband when the time comes, and it will definitely satisfy your wife."

Song refused, "It's enough for the whole family to have a meal together. There's no need to go to great lengths and tire people out."

"Yes!" Marquis Changning agreed verbally but kept it in mind.

After all, the Song family hasn't forgiven him yet, and it's not a good idea to keep staying in this stalemate.

The man made a mistake and felt very guilty facing the woman he once loved.

Gu Xirong woke up the next morning with a stomachache. When she learned that Jin Linwei had come to her house to search the box of gold, she felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Xiuzhen stepped forward and said, "Miss, please don't cry. You will have children in the future. You must take care of yourself."

"Where is the general? Why isn't he here?" Gu Xirong originally thought that she had woken up and would see her lover with a guilty face, apologizing to her and making promises to her.

But there were only Xiuzhen and a few maids by her bed, and there was no sign of Xie Jin at all.

Could it be that even though she had lost her child, Xie Jin could not be angry and pity her? Could it be that Xie Jin could not punish that greedy and stupid mother-in-law?

Thinking of this, Gu Xirong felt sad and painful, her eyes turned red involuntarily, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

Xiuzhen quickly replied, "Miss, the general did not return home last night. Jin Linwei came to our house to investigate the box of gold and has already recovered it from the old lady."

"Yesterday, young lady, you were unconscious. I was at a loss, so I asked for help from the Jingyang Marquis's Mansion and Miss Xiling. Jingyang Marquis's Mansion and Miss Xiling sent people to deliver silver, and I took the initiative to ask Steward Xie to take the money and inquire about the whereabouts of the general."

Gu Xirong was shocked when she heard this, "Jin Linwei? The general didn't come back all night?"

"Yes, Miss, you must take care of yourself. If you fall down and the general is not here, can you still count on the old lady, that old hag who only knows how to bully others at home?" Xiuzhen acted loyally, hoping that Gu Xirong would fulfill her wish in recognition of her dedication.

Gu Xirong tried hard to hold back her sobs. The more she cried, the more her stomach hurt. She even felt a slight bleeding sensation.

Although she was able to hold back her body twitching, Gu Xirong couldn't control her tears.

Xie Jin finally came to this point, with no way back. Although it was sad, it was also within expectations.

Gu Xirong gnashed her teeth and asked, "Where is that old woman?"

Xiuzhen replied: "She is hiding in the manor pretending to be dead! If the mansion is really ransacked, she will definitely think of a way to escape."

"You old fool." Gu Xirong cursed, hating this evil mother-in-law to death. "How much silver did Gu Xiling give?"

Xiuzhen lowered her head and replied, "Five hundred taels."

"So little? I'm sending away beggars!" Gu Xirong was annoyed. "I had a miscarriage, and as a younger sister, you only gave me 500 taels of silver? Besides silver, what else is there?"

Xiuzhen complained in her heart, thinking that giving her money was good enough, but she didn't seem to be nice to Miss Xiling!

"No more." Xiuzhen answered softly, worried that Gu Xirong would get angry.

Gu Xirong rolled her eyes in anger. How petty. "Where is the Jingyang Marquis's mansion?"

Xiuzhen took two steps back before answering, "Mrs. Gu and Madam Gu came and gave me five hundred taels of silver and some medicinal herbs."

"And then? Just left like that?" Gu Xirong continued to ask unwillingly. Gu Xiling didn't get along with her, but she didn't believe that her parents were indifferent to her.
