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

Gu Xirong spoke even better than the famous actors in the opera troupe sang!

Gu Xiling pretended to be confused and even a little angry, "Now I've figured it out, I won't argue with you. My father just arranged a marriage for me with the Xie family, and you're not happy about it, and you're trying to snatch my Xie family marriage. What's your intention? Do you want me to be unmarried and become an annoying old maid for the rest of my life?"

Mrs. Gu, the Earl of Jingyang, was reluctant to marry Gu Xirong, whom she had raised since childhood, to the impoverished Xie family. She really thought that Gu Xirong was deliberately giving in in order not to put them in a difficult position.

"Yes, Rong'er, the Xie family is the marriage that your father and I have arranged for Ling'er. Don't think too much about it, just marry into the Changning Marquis's Mansion with peace of mind."

Gu Xirong knew that her mother loved her and thought that Zhou Jin, the son of Marquis Changning, would be a good match for her. But what was the reality?

He is just a name, arrogant and conceited, falls in love with everyone he meets, and is heartless and disloyal.

It took her twenty years to see through this man. He was useless and a piece of trash with a rotten inside!

Even if she died in this life, she would never marry Zhou Jin.

If she were to marry, she would marry the tall, mighty, and ambitious Xie Jin, who would be the future regent.

Gu Xirong shook her head quickly, extremely anxious. For the sake of future wealth and glory, she had to snatch this marriage away.

"Sister Ling, I just had a dream. I dreamed of my grandmother, who pointed at my nose and scolded me for being ungrateful, occupying the identity of the Gu family's legitimate daughter and snatching the Gu family's legitimate daughter's marriage."

Gu Xiling sighed, and had to say that Gu Xirong was really good at finding someone to take the blame. Old Mrs. Gu had passed away, and she couldn't refute it, and it also showed her filial piety.

"I don't believe it. Are you really willing to leave the high-ranking Changning Marquis' Mansion? Are you really willing to leave the 128-cart dowry?"

Gu Xirong firmly believed that after marrying into the impoverished Xie family, even if her mother could not prepare a large dowry for her, she would still have plenty of silver, land and shops at the bottom of the box.

At this moment, she was not worried about this at all, and she spoke eloquently, "In order to have peace of mind, I am willing to give up everything! If my sister doesn't agree, I can only die."

Mrs. Gu quickly grabbed Gu Xirong who was about to hit her head against the pillar and hugged her tightly. She was so moved by Gu Xirong's eloquence that her eyes turned red. "My son, why are you doing this?"

Gu Xiling looked at the deep affection between mother and daughter, with mockery hidden in her eyes, and frowned slightly.

Given the partiality of Madam Gu and Lord Gu, they must have given Gu Xirong a generous dowry in private.

When she married into the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, even if she had a dowry of 128 loads, it was just a bunch of gaudy stuffing and not practical.

Gu Xiling didn't want to look at this glaring scene of "loving mother and filial daughter", so she walked out with light lotus steps.

She raised her eyes and saw Xiuzhu, the fake daughter Gu Xirong's personal beautiful maid, standing outside. She was biting her lower lip and looking at her master Gu Xirong with anger and unwillingness in her eyes.

Gu Xiling was slightly startled. Isn't this the favorite concubine of Zhou Jin, the son of Marquis Changning?

The corners of her mouth curled up, and a plan came to her mind.

When she passed by Xiuzhu, she whispered, "Sister Rong is determined to marry into the Xie family. Xie Jin looks fierce and has a scar on his face. He can't compare to the gentle and romantic Prince Changning."

"If you have feelings for the Marquis of Changning, and want to serve him in the future, you can only rely on me. Meet at the rockery next to the waterside pavilion after dinner."

Gu Xiling chuckled, in a good mood, and left the main courtyard with brisk steps.

The maid Xiuzhu was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly lowered her head.

Not until the footsteps behind her faded away did she dare to turn around and look at the back of the Second Miss Gu Xiling.

After Gu Xirong got engaged to Zhou Jin, the son of the Marquis of Changning, Xiuzhu fell in love with the handsome, talented and top scholar Zhou Jin.

Xiuzhu hesitated for only a moment before she made her decision.

As night fell, the courtyard was deep and dark.

Xiuzhu didn't dare to pick up the lantern, so she quietly came to the rockery and called out in a low voice, "Second Miss?"

Gu Xiling, wearing a cloak, came out from behind the rockery, "You are here as expected!"

Xiuzhu's heartbeat quickened. In order to fulfill her wish in the future, she was willing to take risks. "Second Miss, what should I do so that you can take me to Changning Marquis' Mansion?"

Gu Xiling chuckled, she was not mistaken about the person.

"By this time tomorrow, bring me the dowry list that my mother prepared for Gu Xirong to marry into the Changning Marquis's Mansion, and I will ask Sister Rong for you to be my dowry maid."

Xiuzhu was stunned, thought for a moment, and then understood the purpose of the second lady's move, "Okay!"

They dispersed and went back to their rooms.

The next morning, Madam Gu sent her maid over to tell her that she had arranged a good marriage for her at the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, and told her to prepare for her marriage with peace of mind.

Gu Xiling followed the plan and got the dowry list that Madam Gu prepared for Gu Xirong to marry into the Changning Marquis' Mansion from Xiuzhu as promised.

Xiuzhu looked nervous, "Second Miss, I have done it. Can I be your maidservant?"

"Yes!" Gu Xiling chuckled, "Just wait patiently!"

After saying this, Gu Xiling hid her pretty face in her cloak and left the rockery.

The Jingyang Marquis's Mansion is considered a large family in the capital, and the sisters-in-law and aunts from the side branches are coming to add to Gu Xiling's and Gu Xirong's dowry.

Now the person who was going to marry into the Changning Marquis' Mansion was Gu Xiling. All these aunts and sisters-in-law surrounded Gu Xiling and praised her.

They left a good impression on Gu Xiling, and if Gu Xiling invited them to attend the banquets in the Marquis' Mansion in the future, she would be able to find husbands of high status for her daughters.

As for Gu Xirong, she was a fake and now she is married to a poor family in the Xie family's side branch, so there is no need to spend money on her.

Gu Xirong smiled gently, but deep down she wished she could kill all those branches of the Gu family.

When she became the high and mighty Regent Princess, she was too lazy to even look at those people kneeling before her.

After the guests left, Gu Xirong hugged Madam Gu's arm and cried, "Mother, the dowry my relatives and friends gave me is too little, you have to give me more dowry!"

Madam Gu reached out and touched Gu Xirong's face. "The Changning Marquis's Mansion gave a lot of betrothal gifts, and the mansion also gave a lot of dowry. As for the Xie family, well, there are only 18 loads of betrothal gifts. I can only give you some from Xiling's dowry to make up 68 loads. You can take care of yourself."

Gu Xiling's eyes showed sadness and sarcasm. It was indeed so.

Then don't blame her for taking the initiative!

Gu Xiling stood in the garden waiting for about half an incense stick of time. Nanny Qi looked around and walked hurriedly.

Gu Xiling took a shortcut to intercept Aunt Qi and cut to the chase, "The items in the warehouse are all in a certain number. You stole the items while keeping the warehouse. You saved your son, but you got yourself into trouble."

Aunt Qi, who was a bit chubby, looked panicked. "Second Miss, please don't talk nonsense. This old servant... this old servant did not steal from the company."

Gu Xiling chuckled and handed over a silver note, "Five hundred taels of silver, do something for me, this is a two hundred tael deposit."

Hearing this, Madam Qi took a breath, her eyes showing greed. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't wait to take the banknote and said, "Second Miss, what do you want me to do?"
