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

Gu Xiling nodded, "Yes, so there is no need for me to quarrel with her! After all, I am her younger sister, so I have to give her some face."

Xiulan frowned, "It's only you, the wife of the prince, who doesn't care about these things. If it were those petty-minded people, they would have taken advantage of the situation long ago. How could the Xie family be what it is now?"

"Besides, if the Changning Marquisate cannot overcome the difficulties, do you think Miss Xirong will take advantage of the situation? Miss, you should be more careful and always be on guard against Miss Xirong. Don't be fooled by her."

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Xiu Lan, your worries are not unreasonable. I know what's going on."

"I'm glad you understand. I hope you will always be well, then I will be well." Xiulan said sincerely. In another half a month, she and Lai Fu will get married.

She can only be well if the Crown Prince's wife is well in the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

Only if the Changning Marquis' Mansion is always well, can her little family be well.

A person’s life is neither long nor short. She just wants to live her life in peace.

I don’t want to starve, I don’t want to be displaced, and I don’t want to be separated from my loved ones!

At this moment, Gu Xiling knew that Xiulan was speaking from her heart, and she chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, and so is the Marquisate! Since you came to me, you should understand how I behave, and I can keep you safe for the rest of your life."

Xiulan's eyes were red, and she bowed to Gu Xiling, "I am so lucky to be able to serve the Crown Prince's wife. When Miss Xirong asked me and Xiuzhu to serve you and be your dowry maids, it was not for your own good, but to make Xiuzhu and I, two beautiful maids, cause trouble for you."

"I am doing my duty. Xiuzhu has seen the integrity of the prince and has given up hope. She dares not take any action in the mansion. The servants have also seen the relationship between you and the prince. The Changning Marquis's mansion is completely different from the Jingyang Marquis's mansion. It is a blessing for me to be able to come to the Changning Marquis's mansion."

Gu Xiling could empathize with them. These maids were like rootless duckweed. The only ones they could rely on were their masters.

"Okay, I don't need you to work for me anymore. Go and clean up your and Lai Fu's little home. I'll arrange your wedding in a few days."

"Thank you, Madam." Xiulan bowed to Gu Xiling again and stepped back.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, married women will return to their parents' home if conditions permit.

The tenth day of August.

The festival gifts were sent to the Jingyang Earl’s Mansion and the Xie Family.

Gu Xirong had just finished her confinement, and the medicinal herbs sent by Jingyang Earl's Mansion and the silver sent by Gu Xiling came in handy.

The old lady of the Xie family was locked up on the farm and was not allowed to come back.

Gu Xirong has the final say in the Xie family, so there is no worry and she is doing well during the confinement period.

After receiving the festival gifts sent by Gu Xiling, Gu Xirong curled her lips and said, "Xiuzhen, our Xie family is not as wealthy as the Changning Marquisate, but we still need to send festival gifts. You pack one and send it over."

Xiuzhen was stunned. The things in the mansion were limited, and there were not many. She didn't know how to give them away. "Madam, please make a list and I will go to the storehouse to choose."

Gu Xirong was stunned and sighed, "I really can't bear to give away the gifts that His Majesty gave to my husband. Anyway, the Changning Marquis's Mansion doesn't lack these things, so you can just give a few jars of wine, a few boxes of cakes, and a few pieces of good cloth."

"Gifts, whether in quantity or type, are usually given in even numbers. Madam, you just mentioned only three items. Why not add a truckload of taro from the south? Even though it's not worth much, it's a token of our appreciation."

Gu Xirong looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, the return gift is small, so I can only express my thoughts. Xiuzhen, you are very thoughtful."

Xiuzhen smiled and said, "Madam, I am looking forward to your well-being. If there are good things, we will keep them for ourselves and nourish your body. If there are not enough, we can just make up for it with our own ideas. No one can say anything to us."

"Yes! That's how it should be!" Gu Xirong nodded and thought of her parents' home. "Give them a more thoughtful gift for the festival."

"Yes, ma'am." Xiuzhen agreed and breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that the gift from ma'am might be too small or not given with enough thought, which would offend people.

Just as Xiuzhen was about to leave, Gu Xirong spoke up, "Xiuzhen, when you went to the Changning Marquis's Mansion to give gifts, make an agreement with Sister Xiling that I will be returning to my parents' home on August 12, and ask her to return on that day as well."

Xiuzhen was startled, thinking that Miss Xirong was not clear about her position. If she said that, Miss Xiling might not be happy, "What if...what if Miss Xiling has something to do and can't return to Jingyangbo's house on the 12th?"

Gu Xirong's eyes were full of sarcasm. She knew how to manipulate Gu Xiling. "Just say that I had a dream again recently! She was in the dream, so she must be interested."

During this month, without the perverted mother-in-law around, Xie Jin was on business outside and didn't go home often. Gu Xirong thought and reviewed the whole thing carefully from beginning to end.

She compared this life with her previous life and found that Gu Xiling indeed had no memory of her previous life, so she still had the upper hand.

But Gu Xiling has the support of the Marquis of Changning's Mansion. Even if Zhou Jin is aloof and incompetent, the Marquis of Changning is not an ordinary person.

It is reasonable to prepare in advance and turn defeat into victory after being reminded.

Gu Xiling and the Changning Marquisate gained a lot of benefits, but she and Xie Jin, because of their low status and lack of influence, controlled little power.

Even if you have the upper hand, you often cannot monopolize the fruits of victory.

In this case, Gu Xirong felt that acting on her own was not a solution. She should cooperate with Gu Xiling and strengthen the Xie family through Gu Xiling and Changning Marquis Mansion.

Xiuzhen was stunned and felt a chill down her spine. Is this "dream" of Miss Xirong real?

If you say it out loud like this, aren't you afraid of being regarded as a monster or hysterical?

"Madam, this... this dream should be more cautious. If it gets out, it will have a bad impact on you."

Gu Xirong shook her head and laughed, her eyes full of resentment and unwillingness, "It's just a dream, what's the big deal? Even if Gu Xiling tells others, who will believe it? I won't admit it outside! Go, tell Gu Xiling."

Now Xie Jin is not being promoted according to the previous trajectory, but his promotion speed is faster than before.

Gu Xirong believes that Xie Jin is a good horse, but he is not yet mature enough and needs to lie dormant.

She is a good wife, destined to help Xie Jin move forward, so that she can bring honor to her husband.

Temporary compromise with Gu Xiling was nothing. The key point was that by doing this, she could gain benefits from Gu Xiling, such as unlimited silver, which was the most important thing now.

"Yes, ma'am." Xiuzhen agreed and prepared a generous gift.

When Xiuzhen came with gifts on behalf of Gu Xirong to deliver festival gifts and paid her respects to Mrs. Song, she was taken directly to Zizhuyuan.

After some polite greetings, Xiuzhen told Gu Xirong what she had said.

Gu Xiling was surprised, "Sister Xirong specifically told me to go back to her parents' home the day after tomorrow. It must not just be because she missed me. There must be other purposes."

Xiuzhen chuckled, "Madam Crown Prince, you are very observant. My wife has been dreaming recently and she said she dreamed of you! I want to take this opportunity to go back to her parents' home and meet with Madam Crown Prince. It's a good opportunity to chat."

"Oh! So that's how it is. Sister Xirong must be thinking about something during the day and dreaming about it at night." Gu Xirong smiled. She also wanted to know what Gu Xirong was up to. "Go back and tell her that I will be back to Jingyang Bo's mansion the day after tomorrow."
