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

Gu Xirong was in a good mood and left with brisk steps.

When Gu Xiling was about to leave, she was stopped by the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, what's the matter?"

The shopkeeper of Xiangmingfang smiled and said, "Madam, the lady who just left said that you were vying to pay."

"This..." Gu Xiling was stunned and gritted her teeth secretly. No wonder Gu Xirong chose such a good teahouse. It turned out that she, the sucker, had to pay. "Look at me, I almost forgot. Xiuqin, pay."

"Yes!" Xiuqin took her purse and went to pay the bill.

A pot of tea, plus a quiet private room, thirty-eight taels of silver.

After getting on the carriage, Gu Xiling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her "good sister" was so stingy, shameless and took it for granted.

She has learned a lot today!

After returning home, Zhou Jin learned that Gu Xiling had returned. When he came out of the study, he saw Gu Xiling who looked a little unhappy.

"Are you mad?" Zhou Jin was curious. How could Gu Xiling, who was always open-minded, be mad at Gu Xirong?

"No." Gu Xiling pouted, but she was not angry.

She was worried about the soldiers who might have died tragically because of Xie Jin's greed for merit and recklessness.

"You still say you're not angry? What's the matter? Tell me, and I'll help you vent your anger." Zhou Jin chuckled and pulled Gu Xiling to sit on the reclining chair beside him.

Gu Xiling lay in Zhou Jin's arms and said leisurely: "Actually, this matter is a bit tricky, Xie Jin..."

After listening to Gu Xiling's narration of the conversation with Gu Xirong, Zhou Jin pointed to his head in disbelief.

"Gu Xirong and Xie Jin, are they crazy about promotion? They have been promoted four levels in half a year, isn't that enough? They even want to be transferred to the army to fight. Do they really think fighting is just playing house?"

Gu Xiling nodded, "They just know that we won't miss this opportunity of the Northern Rong invading the border during the snowstorm. Kangguo will definitely win. This is a free opportunity, and they want to take advantage of it. Lai Fu's identity will be exposed soon."

"What happened?" Zhou Jin asked, "Did the Beirong envoys find out where Lai Fu is?"

Gu Xiling replied, "The one who came is the son of the Khan of Beirong. He looks very much like Lai Fu. Lai Fu used to follow you in and out, and many people have seen him. The prince of the Beirong delegation will also meet many ministers, so it is only a matter of time before he recognizes that he looks like Lai Fu."

"Even if no one says anything, do you think Gu Xirong and Xie Jin, who want to fish in troubled waters, will let go of such an opportunity? In Gu Xirong's gorgeous eyes, Lai Fu is doomed."

Hearing this, Zhou Jin became nervous, "Is this another dream of Gu Xirong?"

"She didn't say anything, but seeing how confident she is, it seems like she has some interest." Gu Xiling replied, "Wait for Lai Fu and Xiu Lan to return home and ask them to come over. They are a couple and cannot leave Changning Marquis's residence in the future."

Zhou Jin pondered for a moment, "I really can't let Lai Fu go out, I have to protect him. Although we are master and servant, Lai Fu once saved my life, I must protect him well."

Gu Xiling nodded, "This is a must. Even if I don't consider your face, I have to consider Xiulan's sake. I must not let Lai Fu die an untimely death."

Zhou Jin pondered for a moment. "Tonight, I will tell my father about Xie Jin's plan so that he can be mentally prepared. If Xie Jin really takes advantage of the situation and is allowed to be stationed at the northern border, we must have a backup plan to prevent Xie Jin from being too ambitious and causing irreparable losses."

"This is the only way. We can't let those soldiers in the bitter cold land die in vain." Gu Xiling said in a deep voice. She lived a good life, but there were many trivial matters.

Although it was a bit tiring, fortunately she only had to use her mouth and brain, and her father-in-law and husband would take care of the rest.

Lai Fu took Xiulan out of the city for a trip.

This was a vacation specially given to them by Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin when they were newly married.

The weather is clear and the scenery is pleasant in autumn.

Lai Fu and Xiu Lan also went to the temple to burn incense in the hope of safety, and bought some small items at the temple fair.

As the sun sets, we take a carriage back to the city.

In the past, I served my master and never had a good time strolling around.

Lai Fu took Xiulan for a stroll on the bustling streets.

Passing the corner, Xiulan smelled a fragrance, her eyes lit up, and she pointed to a wonton stand, "Brother Laifu, the big meat wontons made by that old man are delicious."

"It tastes good, let's eat it." Lai Fu smiled, just eating wontons on the street, he could afford it, "Uncle, give me two bowls of big meat wontons."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." The uncle selling wontons greeted with a smile, his hands busy as he put the wontons into the pot.

After a while, the wontons in bone soup were served. "Enjoy your meal, sir."

"Thank you, old man." Lai Fu was very polite outside and never acted arrogantly like a servant of the Marquis of Changning's Mansion.

The old man was a talkative person. When he saw Lai Fu, he was surprised and asked, "Sir, are you from Beirong?"

"Ah?" Lai Fu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. This was his secret, how did this old man know it?

Is he exposed?

Xiulan interrupted, "Uncle, you are joking. My husband is a native of Kangguo. Uncle, do you see anyone who looks like my husband?"

"I saw it today. It was the prince of Beirong, riding a tall horse. He looked pretty much the same as you, except that his face was a little darker than yours and his hair was tied differently."

Lai Fu did not disguise himself today, because although the disguise materials could change Lai Fu's appearance, they would make Lai Fu's fair and tender skin uncomfortable, red and itchy.

Hearing this, Xiulan and Lai Fu looked at each other and said, "Husband, ouch, my stomach hurts, take me to the clinic quickly..."

Lai Fu was worried about the danger outside, so he took out a handful of copper coins and put them on the table, "Old man, here's the money, I won't eat anymore!"

Lai Fu helped Xiulan leave the wonton stall.

They lowered their heads, not daring to look around, walked through crowded places, and headed straight for the Changning Marquis Mansion.

They were very nervous along the way.

Fortunately, there was no danger. When I entered the Changning Marquis Mansion, I breathed a sigh of relief and found that my back was wet with cold sweat.

Seeing this, the concierge smiled and asked, "Laifu, there's no one chasing you, why are you running so fast?"

Lai Fu made an excuse, "I have something to do when I come back, so I'll go faster."

Seeing Lai Fu was about to leave, the doorman patted his forehead and said, "Lai Fu, the prince just told you to come back and find the prince and his wife to tell them something."

"Okay, thank you very much." Lai Fu bowed, took Xiulan's hand, and walked towards Zizhu Garden.

Xiulan comforted, "Brother Laifu, don't be afraid. As long as we don't leave Changning Marquis Mansion, no one can do anything to us."

"Yes!" Lai Fu agreed, "Today, the Crown Prince's wife went out to see that mysterious Madam Xie, and no one knows what they talked about. Let's go over there and follow the arrangements of the Crown Prince and his wife. If we are allowed to leave, Xiulan, are you willing to go with me?"

Xiulan was stunned. "Brother Laifu, I will follow you wherever you go. However, the Marquis and the Prince will not let you leave. I always feel that you are of great use to the Marquis and the Prince. Only when a person is useful can he be valuable. If he is valuable, there are many ways to do it."
