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

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Gu Xirong couldn't help feeling happy, "Sister, don't envy me. Prince Zhou will also see the good in Sister Ling."

Gu Xirong was extremely certain that she was living a better life than in her previous life, and she was even more certain that she was living a better life than Gu Xiling was living now.

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Rong, for your kind words."

At this time, Qin Shi of Jingyang Bo's Mansion heard the news from the doorman that the two aunts had returned home, so she hurried over. She laughed before she arrived, "Sister Rong, Sister Ling, I'm late!"

When Gu Xiling and Gu Xirong saw their eldest sister-in-law Qin, they immediately greeted her, "Sister-in-law!"

Qin smiled widely, pulling one of them while holding the other, "Come on, sisters, don't stand outside. Mother, father, and husband are all waiting!"

Xie Jin followed closely behind.

Then came the maids and servants of the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, each performing their own duties.

The Xie family had even fewer members, just a coachman and a maid named Xiuzhen.

Xiulan and Xiuzhen looked at each other and hurried to follow their respective masters.

When they arrived at the main courtyard of Jingyang Marquis's mansion, everyone was in a happy mood. After some greetings, everyone took their seats.

At this time, Lai Fu presented Zhou Jin's letter, "Master Gu, my son's leg injury has not healed yet, so he cannot accompany his wife to her parents' home. I wrote this letter to apologize, and I hope Master Gu and his wife will forgive me."

Originally, everyone saw Gu Xiling coming over alone again, and they couldn't help but make guesses in their minds. Now, when they heard Lai Fu's words, they were quite surprised.

"Your Highness is so thoughtful." Gu Hongzhen took the letter, opened it and read it carefully. It was full of compliments for his wife Gu Xiling.

Gu Hongzhen, who considers himself a man of letters, likes to show off his literary talent on a daily basis, but his literary talent is not good enough and what he writes is not even worthy of being presented to the public.

Now reading Zhou Jin's sincerely written letters, both the wording and allusions as well as the emotions contained are excellent.

Gu Hongzhen stroked his beard gently and couldn't help but recite it aloud in public, shaking his head and looking like he was enjoying it very much.

After hearing this, Madam Gu and Qin glanced at Gu Xiling, feeling surprised and envious.

If he didn't care about his wife, why would he carefully write such a well-written apology letter?

But it’s a good thing this way. The girls from the Gu family will be favored and well-received by their husband’s family, and it will also give the unmarried girls in the Gu family a better reputation.

"Master, Chengze, you should memorize this letter and talk about it more when chatting with colleagues and friends. My daughters of the Gu family are obviously all virtuous and kind, how can they be like the female demons dressed up as such outside?"

Gu Hongzhen stroked his beard and laughed when he heard this, "Madam is right. We must clear the name of our Gu family girl and not slander Xi Ling."

Gu Xiling was surprised and gently covered her mouth which was wide open in surprise. She didn't expect that Zhou Jin would even write an apology letter.

"Father, I didn't expect the prince to write you this letter. It's so well written. I'll copy it."

Gu Hongzhen folded the letter and stuffed it into his sleeve. Then he looked seriously at his biological daughter Gu Xiling, whom he had always neglected.

In just five months, she was able to gain the love and care of the aloof Prince Changning, the praise of Marquis Changning, and even the praise of His Majesty and the Empress, which was enough to prove that his daughter was no ordinary person.

Gu Hongzhen joked with Gu Xiling, which was a rare occurrence. "This was written by your husband. If you want to write it down, go back and ask your husband to copy the manuscript."

"Father, aren't you embarrassing your daughter?" Gu Xiling said coquettishly, with a pink scarf covering half of her face.

"Hahaha!" Gu Hongzhen laughed, in a very good mood, "What can't I say to my husband? The beauty of a talented man and a beautiful woman, it should be a good story."

Madam Gu also looked at her daughter, whom she had neglected before, with a kind look on her face. "Xi Ling, the Queen praised you, and His Majesty also praised you as a role model for women. In the future, you must be filial to your parents-in-law, and support your husband and children in the Marquis' Mansion. By the way, it's been five months, why is there no movement in your belly?"

Gu Xiling chuckled, "We are still young, there is no rush!"

"I'll ask Doctor Su to check your pulse later. If there's anything wrong, I'll take care of it." Mrs. Gu said with concern. It's good to be favored, but a man's favor may disappear after a while.

A woman will get pregnant when a man is pampering her.

A man’s favor is not long-lasting, but children are long-lasting. If she has more children, the entire Marquisate will belong to Gu Xiling.

Only then can the position be truly stable.

Gu Xirong watched as her father and mother kept praising Gu Xiling. She thought that this coaxing letter would make Gu Xiling look respectable.

Don’t you know that no matter which woman Zhou Jin favored, he would write many compliments to praise her.

Once you stop loving someone, you will forget about them and not care about them at all, and you will not even bother to take another look at them.

Gu Xirong couldn't bear to see Gu Xiling being so proud, and just when she was about to point out that Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin had not slept together yet, Xie Jin held her hand.

Gu Xirong was startled and turned to look at Xie Jin, "Husband, what do you mean?"

"Having me is enough for you. There's no need to envy others." Xie Jin said softly, coaxing Gu Xirong. He didn't want Gu Xirong to spoil the mood on such an important occasion.

Although Gu Xirong did not admit it, Xie Jin knew the past of Gu Xirong and Gu Xiling in detail.

Because of their identities, the two people not only don't get along, but they also compete with each other on a daily basis.

Xie Jin hoped to ease relations with the Changning Marquis's Mansion and gain the protection of the Changning Marquis. After all, he had offended Uncle Li.

Although His Majesty has promoted him now, His Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs. How can he take care of a small leader of the fifth-rank Imperial Guard?

But it’s different in the Marquis Changning’s Mansion. Uncle Li is so arrogant, so when he meets the Marquis Changning, doesn’t he have to avoid him?

When Gu Xirong heard her husband's words, the jealousy in her heart gradually disappeared, and she quietly watched the whole family complimenting Gu Xiling.

One day, Xie Jin will become successful and become the regent, and she will be the regent princess. These people will be respectful and flatter her.

After the meal, Gu Xirong invited Gu Xiling, "Sister Ling, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't we go for a walk in the garden?"

Gu Xiling smiled, "I miss Sister Rong too, and I have some private things to say!"

Qin smiled and said, "Then you go first. I'll go to the kitchen to see if the snacks are ready. I'll bring some snacks and wait for you at the waterside pavilion later."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Gu Xiling and Gu Xirong said in unison.

After Qin left, Gu Xiling and Gu Xirong waved away the maids and servants, and the two sisters walked side by side under the shade of the trees in the garden.

The shade of the trees was almost gone, but Gu Xiling didn't ask any questions.

Gu Xirong stopped and asked, "Sister Ling, aren't you curious about my dream?"

Gu Xiling smiled, "Curious! I was waiting for Sister Rong to say it! After all, it's Sister's mouth, and I can't force Sister to say it."

"She is sharp-tongued and ungrateful, and she is just like Sister Ling." Gu Xirong was a little disgusted with Gu Xiling's cold and calm look.

Gu Xiling raised her eyebrows. When will Gu Xirong stop talking in circles?

"Sister Rong, you're kidding. I'm not as smart as you say. My sister-in-law will be here in an incense stick of time. Sister Rong, you better make it short."
