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

In Gu Xirong's view, although she lost a child who was less than two months old this time, she gained Xie Jin and the Xie family.

Very cost-effective and worth it.

But in Gu Xiling's eyes, this is the greatest stupidity and the greatest sin.

There are many ways to deal with an old woman who only knows how to bully others at home. There is no need to use this method.

Even in Gu Xiling's eyes, getting a handful of poison to kill the other person is a better method than killing her own child.

At least this shows that Gu Xirong is stupid, but not cowardly.

But Gu Xirong was different. She only dared to hurt the baby in her belly, and she kept backing down in the face of her mother-in-law who made things difficult for her. She was extremely cowardly.

For such a person, even if he is reborn, it will be in vain.

My brain is like filled with shit!

Listening to what Xiulan had inquired about, Gu Xiling's eyes were filled with sarcasm, "The law of nature is reincarnation, and there is cause and effect. Since this is her choice, she will have to bear the consequences herself in the end."

This is what she despises most about Gu Xirong!

Xiulan was of the same temperament, with a mocking look in her eyes, "If it were me, I would never use the child's life as a bargaining chip. I would rather poison the old hag to death with a handful of medicine."

When Gu Xiling heard this, she covered her mouth and laughed.

She believed that Xiulan was not just talking, but had really done this in her previous life.

Although she didn't know the details in her previous life, Xiulan didn't want to be a concubine, but ended up becoming one, which must have been due to Gu Xirong's handiwork.

Xiulan's son died, and then Xiulan poisoned Gu Xirong's youngest son. As the injustice has its perpetrator, the debt has its creditor, and it must be because Gu Xirong killed Xiulan's child first.

"Xiu Lan, when will you and Lai Fu get married?" Gu Xiling asked with a smile, "I will prepare your dowry so that we can arrange it in advance."

Xiulan's face was slightly red, but her eyes were bright, flashing with anticipation for a better life in the future. "Madame Yuan asked a Taoist priest to calculate the date, and it's August 18th, after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Good day, I'll ask Butler Zhou to arrange a small courtyard for you to live in first." Gu Xiling chuckled, "After you get married, continue to be my housekeeper."

Xiulan knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Xiling, "Thank you, Madam!"

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "You're welcome. Ever since you married me and moved to Changning Marquis' Mansion, you have worked diligently and never dared to neglect your work. I've seen it all and I remember it in my heart. You deserve my kindness!"

Xiulan's eyes were slightly red. "It is a blessing for me to be able to serve the Crown Prince's wife. I just need to complete the Crown Prince's wife's orders and do my duty. I don't have to do those dirty work, nor do I have to be pushed out to take the blame, and I don't have to worry about being molested by the male master..."

Gu Xiling listened quietly to the narration of her personal maid Xiulan, and slowly understood Xiulan's inner thoughts and attitude towards life.

At this moment, Gu Xiling realized that different people's lives have different highlights.

It is also a kind of happiness for Xiulan to live according to her own wishes.

"Yes, Changning Marquis Mansion is a good place." Gu Xiling said with a smile, "You can rest assured in Changning Marquis Mansion, we will stay together until we grow old."

"It is my honor." Xiulan also smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Uncle Li, who was staying at home, learned that Xie Jin had been promoted. He asked someone to investigate and found out that Xie Jin had gone to Jinlinwei.

In addition, Jinlinwei brought back dozens of boxes of gold bricks from Meilin Villa. Princess Lanxin was captured, and it was speculated that Xie Jin, the traitor, betrayed him.

Zhao Xiang, the former deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, has now been demoted to the right guard of the Imperial Guard and continues to follow the lead of Li Guojiu.

"Uncle, do you want to..." Seeing that Uncle Li was so angry, Zhao Xiang tried to test his attitude.

Li Guojiu gnashed his teeth, his face gloomy, "Wait a minute! It was His Majesty who personally ordered the promotion and reward of Xie Jin. If Xie Jin were to die or be injured, wouldn't that be a slap in His Majesty's face?"

Zhao Xiang was relieved to see that Li Guojiu had not lost his mind. At least Li Guojiu had not lost his mind yet.

"Uncle, you are right! Although His Majesty still trusts you, the matter of Prince Ning's treasure was indeed handled crudely. A monarch should be suspicious."

When Li Guojiu heard this, he sighed, "I didn't expect it! I never thought that the Ning Wang treasure was actually discovered by Xie Jin!"

"I didn't expect that Xie Jin actually wanted to take it for himself. He is really greedy! I didn't expect Pang Ming to be so careless that he didn't even notice that he was being monitored by Jin Linwei."

"Now that things have come to this, even if His Majesty and I have a deep relationship, His Majesty will still doubt me. The reason why he didn't deal with me is because of my good nephew, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Guojiu felt regretful and angry, thinking that everything was other people's fault, but he never reflected on his own.

Zhao Xiang agreed, "What the uncle said is right. It's all because of Pang Ming's uselessness and Xie Jin's betrayal and greed."

"Let him go for now. After this matter is over, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him! Uncle, don't be angry or anxious. The more anxious you are, the more chaos will occur."

Li Guojiu agreed, "Zhao Xiang, you are right! Go back and do your work with peace of mind. I am loyal to His Majesty, so don't be indecisive."

"Yes, Uncle Li!" Zhao Xiang agreed. Knowing that Uncle Li had no intention of dealing with Xie Jin for the time being, he could do his work with peace of mind.

After Zhao Xiang left, Li Mu walked in, holding a folding fan in his hand, smiling, and walking briskly.

At this time, he saw that his father's face was gloomy. Li Mu smiled and said, "Father, there is no need to be so angry. Xie Jin is just an ant in our eyes. Keeping him now will only paralyze Your Majesty."

He had previously acted on his own initiative and killed someone to silence him, which made his father very angry.

But Li Mu felt that he did a good job and he did not regret it.

Pang Ming's death has already made His Majesty suspicious.

Although Xie Jin's backstabbing put the Li family in a passive position, it at least made my father realize that His Majesty had begun to be wary of the Li family.

Now the gap between my father and His Majesty is growing wider and wider. Even if my father has no intention of rebelling, he will be forced to do so.

Next, the Li family just needs to keep calm and slowly accumulate strength. With time, it may be possible for them to wear the yellow robe.

Uncle Li simply looked up at his eldest son and said quietly, "Mu'er, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Are you willing to take the risk, even if it means death?"

Li Mu shrugged and smiled, "The bow and arrow are in your Majesty's hand. Even if we want to hide, can your Majesty put down the bow?"

"The temptation of being above ten thousand people is far greater than the fear of death. If you succeed, the throne will belong to our Li family!"

"If we don't have enough strength to accomplish our mission, that doesn't matter! As long as we do it cleanly and without any evidence."

"As the prince's uncle and the future emperor's in-laws, no one can do anything to us! So now, father, you can't levy heavy taxes and protect criminals like before. You should respect the wise and humble, care about the people, and have a good reputation."

When Li Guojiu heard this, he frowned slightly, "Anyway, my reputation is already like this. Only by doing what I want can His Majesty gradually let down his guard."

"As for you, there are many sons who don't listen to me, and you are no exception! Do whatever you want to do!"

Hearing his father's words, Li Mu was slightly stunned, then smiled, "Then I will start to act!"

Seeing that his son was confident, Li Guojiu was quite curious, "What are you going to do?"
