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

The servant Xie An quickly supported Xie Jin and said, "General, you need to cheer up. Now the old lady has died a martyr. As the only son, you need to report to the general and ask to return to Beijing to bury the old lady."

When Xie Jin heard this, he forced himself to say, "Yes! Yes, I have to go back to Beijing as soon as possible!"

After saying this, Xie Jin rode out in a hurry.

Xie An bowed to the escorts and said, "My dear escorts, you have worked hard all the way here. I will arrange for you to rest and have a meal first. Once the general gets permission, we will return to the capital together."

The escorts agreed, "Brother Xie An will make the arrangements."

Xie Jin requested to see General Wang.

When General Wang learned that Xie Jin wanted to see him, he thought that Xie Jin wanted to be reinstated and lead troops into battle.

General Wang was thinking about the Changning Marquis' Mansion, so he wanted to give Xie Jin a chance, "Let Xie Jin in."

Xie Jin followed the guards and strode in. He immediately bowed and saluted, "General Xie Jin greets the general."

"You came here today and wanted to be reinstated, but that's impossible." General Wang replied, "After reporting it, the Ministry of War of the imperial court imposed relevant penalties, including a six-month salary deduction and a two-level demotion. If you can make meritorious contributions in the future, this general will also report it."

If Xie Jin did not observe military etiquette but won the battle, he would be credited with the achievement, but if he lost the battle, the punishment would be double.

Xie Jin's heart bled when he heard this, but he could do nothing about it. "Thank you, General. I have no complaints about this punishment. I have been reflecting on my mistakes at home recently and will never make such a mistake again."

"I also wanted to fight in the battlefield and make great achievements, but my mother was robbed by bandits and died a martyr. I... I am here to resign. Please allow me to go back and bury my mother."

General Wang was stunned. He originally wanted to say a lot to scold Xie Jin, but when he thought of Xie Jin's mother who died for her husband, he didn't want to say anything bad.

Not only can they not say anything, but they have to comfort them by saying, "Please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be brought back to life. I have approved it. You can go back to attend the funeral."

"Thank you, General." Xie Jin bowed respectfully and left.

Xie Jin was reluctant to leave the barracks, as he originally wanted to make great achievements.

Now, not only has he not achieved anything, but he has also been fined and demoted.

In order to build momentum for him, his wife spent money on disaster relief.

Things are progressing smoothly here, and now people say that the Xie family is a kind-hearted family.

But after finally spending so much money to pave the way and achieving the desired effect, he just gave up and left.

Even if you come back three years later, many people may have forgotten it.

In addition, three years later, the war against the Northern Rong had already ended, and it would be extremely difficult to make new achievements in the northern border.

Xie Jin felt very sorry and felt even more depressed.

I returned home feeling dazed.

Xie An reminded, "General, we have to go back to the capital. Logically, we have to go to the Marquis of Changning to say goodbye."

After all, the two families are relatives, and when the family was in the most difficult time, it was the Changning Marquisate that came to the rescue.

Otherwise, during the time when the general was recuperating at home, someone would definitely take advantage of his situation.

Xie Jin was startled, then nodded, "Xie An, thank goodness you reminded me. I'll go see the Marquis of Changning now."

Marquis Changning had actually received the news that Madam Xie had committed suicide for the rest of her life.

Upon hearing that Xie Jin had arrived, he asked someone to take Xie Jin to the reception room.

"My Lord, my mother died a martyrdom, and I have come here specially to inform you of her death." Xie Jin's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse, filled with sadness for losing his mother.

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze comforted him, "Xie Jin, please accept my condolences. Madam Xie is a chaste and virtuous woman, worthy of respect. I should personally go to the funeral, but the state affairs in the north are not yet resolved, so I cannot leave without permission. I hope my dear nephew will forgive me."

Xie Jin quickly replied: "Your Majesty has the emperor's order, so I dare not bother you with personal matters. But I will leave tomorrow, so I came to say goodbye."

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze nodded, "I wish you a safe journey back this time. If you have any difficulties after returning to the capital, you must tell the Marquis' Mansion. Even if I am not here, Jin'er is your brother-in-law, we are all relatives, so if you have any problems, just tell me."

Xie Jin bowed respectfully to the Marquis of Changning again, "Butler Xie has already told me the whole story. Both the Marquis of Jingyang and the Marquis of Changning have provided a lot of help to my Xie family. I am here to thank the Marquis again."

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze gently stroked the tiger's den and thought for a moment, "When you go back this time, you must observe mourning with the old lady. Take this opportunity to study the art of war and take care of your health."

"After the mourning period is over, I will definitely fulfill my promise and arrange a place for you. Remember to be humble and not reckless. In addition, if Li Guojiu's people see you, they will definitely ridicule you. You must not confront them head-on. As long as you have a green mountain, you will not be afraid of a lack of firewood."

The reason why Marquis Changning said this was not only because of Gu Xirong's "dream prediction", but also because if Xie Jin used it well, it would be a good knife to deal with Uncle Li.

In addition, the daughter-in-law also said in the letter that she promised to give Xie Jin a chance to make amends for his crime.

But now plans cannot keep up with changes. The old lady is gone and Xie Jin has to observe mourning, so this opportunity can no longer be used.

Therefore, Marquis Changning said these words to comfort Xie Jin.

At the same time, Marquis Changning, who always liked to plan before making decisions, also hoped that Xie Jin would not be reckless and stay honest.

Although Xie Jin's experience this year cannot be described as eventful, it can certainly be described as having ups and downs.

Every failure makes one wiser. Xie Jin has failed many times and he is not a fool. He has made progress after all.

"My Lord, don't worry. I will keep your teachings in mind." Xie Jin felt relieved. This was the main purpose of his visit this time.

Now that Marquis Changning has promised him in person, he is no longer worried about being left with nowhere to go after the mourning period.

It’s great to have such relatives. It was absolutely right to plan for a marriage with Uncle Jingyang.

The next morning, Xie Jin followed the escort on horseback and rushed back to the capital.

Xie An stayed here, gathered up the remaining items in the northern border and sold them, then rushed back to the capital with money and luggage.

We rode at full speed all the way and finally returned to the capital half a month later.

Although Xie Jin was exhausted, he did not dare to stop and came to the door of Xie's house. "Thank you for your escort all the way."

The escorts bowed and said, "Thank you, General, please don't be so polite. We are here to do our duty. Now that you have arrived home, our mission is accomplished. Goodbye."

"I have something to do at home, so I won't invite you in. I'll thank you another day." Xie Jin was in no mood to entertain these bodyguards.

The escorts bowed and said, "You're welcome."

After the escorts left, Xie Jin jumped off his horse impatiently, threw the reins to the doorman, and burst into tears, "Mother..."

Gu Xirong deduced that Xie Jin would be back soon in the next couple of days, so she knelt in the mourning shed every day, wearing mourning clothes, making herself look haggard and with red and swollen eyes.

"Husband, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of our mother. Please punish me." Gu Xirong took the initiative and won over Xie Jin.

Xie Jin looked at the shaky Gu Xirong and asked the escorts along the way. How could he not know that his mother would go to the northern border alone with a few servants without listening to advice?

Now, the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion and the Changning Marquis' Mansion are helping out inside and outside, and they are all doing this for Gu Xirong's sake.

If he gets angry at Gu Xirong without knowing the truth, not only will Gu Xirong, who has been planning for him wholeheartedly, be extremely disappointed, but the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion and the Changning Marquis' Mansion will also be dissatisfied.

He wouldn't be that stupid!

As for Gu Xirong's pregnancy, Xie Jin didn't even think about it.

It is said that women are calculating, but men are not?

Of course, and they will even plan even worse!
