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

Gu Xiling smiled secretly, pretending not to see anything, and urged, "Today, I'm busy!"

Zhou Jin's face was slightly hot, "Then turn your head and don't look!"

"Okay, I'll cover my face." Gu Xiling covered her face with her slender hands and pretended.

Zhou Jin covered his body with the quilt, and looked at Gu Xiling's big eyes peeking out from between her fingers, "Can the gaps between your fingers be any bigger?"

Gu Xiling snickered, "I won't tease you anymore! I'm going outside to wash my face!"

The maid brought in the clothes and Zhou Jin changed into them.

After washing up, they paid their respects to the Song family together.

Early in the morning, I met the old lady in the main courtyard.

"Grandma, why are you here? I just told my husband that I would go to pay my respects to you!" Gu Xiling stepped forward and supported the old lady.

The old lady smiled widely and her voice was full of joy.

"When I woke up this morning, I heard magpies chirping on the branches. This means good things are coming! I heard that your mother-in-law is pregnant and needs to rest, so I came to see her."

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Then let's go visit mother together! Let's have dinner together, and later on, I will take care of the household affairs for mother, and you can give her guidance."

The old lady held Gu Xiling's hand, feeling quite relieved. "Okay, if you can hold on, your mother-in-law will be relieved! After all, she is not young anymore, and giving birth will hurt her health. It's really hard for her!"

Gu Xiling said modestly, "Since I married into the Changning Marquis' Mansion, I have been well taken care of by my grandmother and mother. I have no worries, and I have everything I want, including food, drink, and entertainment. Now it's time for me to contribute, and of course I can't shrink back."

If it were someone else, they would want to be the housekeeper.

But Gu Xiling didn't care. With her mother-in-law supporting her, she just had to take care of her own little yard.

It was Gu Xiling's mentality that made Song feel that her authority in this family was not challenged.

Usually, Gu Xiling would take the initiative to offer to help share the burden, and I didn’t feel that Gu Xiling was trying to grab power.

When Song saw her daughter-in-law and mother-in-law coming together, she quickly stood up and saluted her mother-in-law, "Mother, thank you for coming here. I am an unfilial daughter-in-law."

The old lady quickly stopped him, "My dear daughter-in-law, please don't be so polite, just lie down! Eat when you need to, drink when you need to, Xiling and I will take care of the affairs of the harem."

"You can keep an eye on things later and ask the maids around you to help Xiling. Don't take on all the responsibilities yourself."

"You don't even think about yourself. Don't you think about the baby in your belly? Rest well and make sure both the baby and the child are safe and sound. This is the most important thing for the Changning Marquisate."

Song's face turned slightly red, "Thank you, mother!"

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze came out from the inner room and said, "Greetings to mother!"

The old lady looked up at the Marquis of Changning and said, "You, at this age, have become a father again! You must be steady and not have any unfaithful thoughts. If I find out that you are having an affair outside, don't blame me for breaking your legs."

Marquis Changning is very innocent. Compared with those men who have three wives and four concubines, he is considered to be clean!

There was indeed a concubine Bai in the middle, but she was a spy who was cunning and unintentional, and he could not guard against her.

Fortunately, the other party's identity was discovered and the loss was stopped in time.

What a pity for that daughter!

"My son must remember what my mother taught me. Jin'er, you should also take this as a warning and never be indecisive."

Originally Zhou Jin was just watching the show secretly, but he didn't expect to be dragged into it by his father.

His relationship with his wife is now getting better and better, and they are very affectionate. They are just waiting for their leg injury to heal so that they can enter the bridal chamber.

"My father's previous experience is still fresh in my mind. I will keep it in mind and will never be indecisive or waver between two sides."

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze glanced at his rebellious son and hoped that the second son would be considerate. If there was another one with a temper like Zhou Jin, he would be pissed off to death.

Gu Xiling lowered her eyes, lowered her head slightly, and smiled secretly with the corners of her mouth raised.

This father and son are such an interesting couple!

With the previous experience of Marquis Changning, I believe Zhou Jinyan will be much more honest in the future.

If Zhou Jin was the only one in this life, Gu Xiling would also be devoted to him.

Otherwise, your heart is your own anyway, and only you know your indecision.

Marquis Changning was disappointed. "Breakfast is here. Let's eat."

Although he didn't dare to show his teeth in front of his old mother, Marquis Changning was still in a good mood. He went to the yamen to work and always had a warm smile on his face.

Under the guidance of her mother-in-law, Gu Xiling handled the miscellaneous affairs of the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

In fact, Gu Xiling knows how to do all these things, but she is just pretending not to know how to do them now.

After being taught by her mother-in-law, Gu Xiling learned it quickly, and Song liked her more and more.

In just one hour, Gu Xiling had learned it all.

"Mother, I will try to do it first. If there is anything I don't understand, Nanny Song can give me some advice. If Nanny Song doesn't know how to handle it, we will ask you for advice again."

Song nodded and smiled, "Okay! With your help, I feel much more relaxed."

Gu Xiling has a method for doing things, and many of them are in accordance with the Song family's regulations and have not changed.

A slight adjustment in the purchasing and hiring arrangements would not only allow the servants to have more rest time, but also provide the servants in the mansion with better food.

Not only that, Gu Xiling also paid out of her own pocket to reward all the servants in the mansion with one month's salary to pray for the baby in her mother-in-law's belly.

Seeing Gu Xiling being so generous, the old lady was not willing to be outdone and immediately rewarded her with two months' salary.

The servants in the mansion were all smiling and couldn't help their joy.

Now the Marquis’ wife has just become pregnant. If she gives birth, won’t she be rewarded even more?

Everyone was extremely diligent and spoke auspicious words, and the entire mansion was filled with joy.

In stark contrast to the cheerful atmosphere at the Changning Marquis Mansion, at the Beirong Post Station, the Beirong Prince Tuolu had a gloomy expression and his voice was unusually cold.

"Hasn't the son of the traitor been found yet?"

Xu Jia knelt on the ground and confessed his guilt immediately. "Prince, we did not find Lai Fu. I thought that the Marquis of Changning might have known Lai Fu's identity!"

Prince Beirong was stunned, "How could he know?"

Xu Jia was nervous. Without a good reason, Prince Beirong's anger would be directed at him, so he made up stories and guesses.

"I have never met your Highness, but when I saw you for the first time, I thought of Lai Fu, the attendant of the Marquis of Changning. The Marquis of Changning has deep roots in the capital. Perhaps the people of the Marquis of Changning have already discovered the prince as soon as he entered the capital."

"You know what the old Lord of Changning Marquisate has done to our Beirong and even many foreign countries around Kangguo, even if I don't tell you."

"Marquis Changning is now the Minister of Rites, specializing in managing all of Kangguo's affairs with foreign states. Marquis Changning must know about matters concerning foreign states, especially the actions of the diplomatic envoys."

"There aren't so many coincidences in the world. It's better to believe it than not. We thought Lai Fu was the son of the traitor before, and I'm sure Marquis Changning also guessed so. Lai Fu is missing now, and I think Kangguo must have made a big fuss about Lai Fu's identity."

When Prince Tuolu of Beirong heard this, his face changed drastically. His uncle's son was declared dead, but his body was not found.

Now Lai Fu looks very similar to him. Even if Lai Fu is not his uncle's son, Kangguo will make a big fuss about it.

With such speculation, Beirong Prince Tuolu could no longer sit still. He quickly wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Beirong as quickly as possible.
