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

Marquis Changning, Zhou Jin, and Gu Xiling all felt that Gu Xirong and Xie Jin were being too aggressive.

But Gu Xirong and Xie Jin don't think so.

In the evening, Xie Jin came back from outside in high spirits and couldn't wait to find Gu Xirong.

Xie Jin knew that Gu Xirong liked the feeling of being pampered, so he often acted impatient and hugged Gu Xirong.

A kiss and a touch.

Xie Jin didn't stop until Gu Xirong begged for mercy.

"Madam, what did Gu Xiling say? Is the Marquis of Changning willing to help me?" Xie Jin asked hurriedly, his eyes sparkling with joy.

He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

Although his current position is good, because he stabbed Li Guojiu in the back, although His Majesty appointed him personally, other people dare not associate with him for fear of revenge by Li Guojiu.

I am restricted in what I can do and it is also very boring.

He wanted to become the general of Kangguo, and spending all day in the Imperial Guard was a torture.

When facing Gu Xiling, even though Gu Xirong appeared submissive on the surface, she was extremely arrogant and stubborn in her heart and was unwilling to give in.

But on the way back, after thinking about it carefully, Gu Xirong felt that what Gu Xiling said made sense.

Acting too hastily often leads to endless troubles.

"My husband, Sister Ling heard our plan and said that we are acting too hastily. We should take steady steps in our current official positions. What do you think, my husband?"

When Xie Jin heard this, the smile on his face faded a lot, and he felt a little more resentful towards Gu Xiling in his heart.

"Gu Xiling, don't you know that I am just an empty shell in the Imperial Guard? I patrol every day, report for duty, and try to make achievements. Unless I find the mastermind of the rebellion or assassination, I will not be promoted in the next five years."

"A good friend of my father came back from the north some time ago and said that the Northern Rong were ready to make a move. Combined with the dream my wife told me about, Lai Fu's death will allow Kangguo to prepare in advance. As long as they are prepared, Kangguo will win."

"Since we are sure to win, as long as we reach the north, we will definitely be able to gain military merit. If we let go of such a good opportunity, I don't know what will happen next time. I am unwilling to accept this, are you willing, my lady?"

Gu Xirong replied: "I am unwilling to accept this."

Xie Jin gritted his teeth, feeling that he needed to persuade Gu Xirong and dispel her hesitation. "My wife, from all the things that happened, it seems that the Changning Marquisate is not only unwilling to promote me, but also wants to hold me back and prevent me from making progress."

"My Xie family originally had no connection with the Zhou family of Changning Marquis' Mansion. We are related only because we are brothers-in-law. Gu Xiling married into Changning Marquis' Mansion and is arrogant. Would she be happy to see your husband occupy a high position?"

Hearing this, Gu Xirong's expression changed slightly. If it were her, she would definitely not be able to watch it.

At this time in her previous life, she didn't take Gu Xiling and the impoverished Xie family seriously at all, not to mention that Gu Xiling and Xie Jin had already gone to the northwest.

The distance between them was long and they hadn't seen each other for almost ten years. She looked down on Gu Xiling and the Xie family.

Now that Gu Xiling is married to the Marquis of Changning's mansion, she is in a high and mighty position. How could she possibly look down upon her and Xie Jin?

Gu Xiling definitely didn't want her to live a good life, nor did she want Xie Jin to be in a high position.

"My husband, you are right. My sister certainly doesn't want our Xie family to prosper. We can't miss this opportunity. If the Changning Marquisate doesn't help, my husband, how are you going to be transferred to the Northern Territory?"

Gu Xirong calmed her mind. Xie Jin had made great achievements on the battlefield in his previous life, and he could do it now.

Xie Jin was relieved to hear that Gu Xirong was thinking about him. "I will follow up with Commander Xu of the Imperial Guard to report that Lai Fu looks very similar to Prince Tuolu of Beirong. We need to conduct a thorough investigation."

"But I have already told Gu Xiling today. Isn't it a bit late to talk about it later?" Gu Xirong was stunned and looked nervous.

Xie Jin shook his head and chuckled, "It's irrelevant. I just want to show my interest in Beirong. Read more about Beirong and learn more about the situation in the northern border. My father had some connections back then. Although we haven't been in contact for many years, we still have some old friendships after all."

Hearing this, Gu Xirong breathed a sigh of relief, "Husband, I can't help you outside, I will take care of the family. Now the fur business that Gu Xiling and I are partnering in has already started, and our family will not be short of money in the future."

Xie Jin was confused. "Will Gu Xiling cheat us? I found out that during the last flood, the imperial court got a batch of medicinal herbs. Although outsiders don't know who they belonged to, don't forget that Gu Xiling bought some medicinal herbs, but she didn't sell them. Where did those herbs go?"

"Ah?" Gu Xirong exclaimed, "My husband, when did you find out? Gu Xiling said she didn't sell herbs. I thought she didn't do this business, but with her personality, she wouldn't be without preparation. Did the Changning Marquisate donate those herbs to the court?"

Xie Jin's eyes were deep, "It is very likely. Think about it, His Majesty has rewarded Changning Marquis's Mansion with 30,000 taels of gold, which is worth 300,000 taels of silver."

"Just because you discovered Prince Ning's rebellion, 10,000 taels of gold would be enough. But Your Majesty has given Changning Marquis's Mansion a total of 30,000 taels of gold. It's unreasonable, unless there are other merits."

"Apart from the batch of medicinal herbs for disaster relief, I can't think of any other contributions made by the Changning Marquisate. Madam, what do you think?"

Gu Xirong didn't say anything. She reviewed the situation in her mind carefully, shaking with anger. "Gu Xiling is so evil! Couldn't she tell me in advance? At least wait until I sell the herbs so I can make some money."

When she thought about the dowry money and the money Xie Jin borrowed from the bank, she thought she could make tens of thousands of taels of silver by selling medicinal herbs.

Unexpectedly, he not only did not make any money, but also lost most of his capital. The remaining money was only enough to repay the loan from the money house.

Xie Jin sighed, "I used to think that there was something wrong between you and your sister. After I found some clues about the medicinal materials, I began to believe that your sister and you were not on good terms."

"Xirong, you are just too kind-hearted. You should be more careful in the future and don't let Gu Xiling sell you out. You are still counting money for her. But at this stage, we are not strong enough to turn against her."

"But don't worry, I, Xie Jin, will work hard to make progress and make my wife and husband glorious in the future. I don't have to look at anyone's face. If I, Xie Jin, break my oath, I will be struck by lightning."

Gu Xirong quickly covered Xie Jin's mouth, "My husband, thank you for reminding me and not blaming me. I will be more careful in the future and not let Gu Xiling take advantage of me."

"Now we are being humble to the Changning Marquisate in order to seek benefits. As long as the outside world does not spread that we are on bad terms with the Changning Marquisate, but are on good terms with it, we can take advantage of the power of the Changning Marquisate. I understand all this, and for the sake of my husband, I am willing to put up with it."

Xie Jin was completely relieved, knowing that Gu Xirong would not act rashly and disrupt the overall plan.

Compared with the strange situation in the capital, Qinglan County in the northwest has been full of joy recently, with countless people coming to kowtow in front of the county government every day.
