Beirong and Kangguo have already taken action. Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

The tense situation outside had little impact on Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin.

Under the examination of Doctor Liu and Doctor Su, Zhou Jin recovered completely.

He can walk normally now, but it is best not to run or jump. This is also great news for Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin washed his face and specially picked out a light red brocade robe to wear. With his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he looked like a handsome man with a jade face.

Young men and young women were also popular at this time.

It’s common to see men wearing various red robes on the street!

During these three months, Zhou Jin was injured and had difficulty walking.

In order not to gain weight, he ate less at every meal and only had a bowl of millet porridge for dinner.

Not only did he not gain weight in the past three months, but his skin, which had been tanned since he stayed at home recently, turned white again.

After Gu Xiling finished dealing with the chores in the mansion, she went to report to her mother-in-law on the latest chores.

Now Song had completely handed over the household affairs to Gu Xiling, so she could rest assured and take care of her pregnancy. Not only did her complexion improve, but her originally skinny figure also became somewhat plump.

Song smiled, "Xi Ling, you did a great job. You must be tired after a busy day. Go back early. You can have dinner in Zizhu Garden."

Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin had been accompanying their parents-in-law for meals. Why did her mother-in-law ask her to go back for dinner today?

Maybe the mother-in-law and father-in-law want to dine alone and talk privately?

Thinking of this, Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Thank you, mother. I will be lazy today and save money for you."

"I'm fine. You and Jin'er are doing well. That's better than anything else." Song smiled, in a good mood.

After Gu Xiling left, Marquis Changning looked puzzled, "Madam, you sent Xiling away, do you have something to say to your husband?"

Song was in a bad mood. When she heard what Marquis Changning said, she was unhappy and rolled her eyes. "You are so heartless. I wonder if your son's leg injury has healed today? If you don't give them more time to spend together, how can we have a grandson? How can we have a granddaughter?"

"This..." Marquis Changning was speechless. The man might be busy outside and didn't pay much attention to the family affairs. "I was just thinking about you. Why do you care so much?"

Song retorted, "How can sons and daughters be the same as grandchildren? The Changning Marquisate still needs Jin'er and Xiling to set up a new household. The one in my belly, whether it is a son or a daughter, will have to rely on my brother and sister-in-law in the future."

"The better Xiling and Jin'er are, the better life the baby in my belly will have. Besides, we are not young anymore, and no one knows whether we can see this baby grow up. With Xiling and Jin'er, we can rest assured even if we close our eyes."

When Marquis Changning heard this, he smiled and said, "No wonder they say that the eldest son is valued and the youngest is loved. After a few more years of training, Jin'er will be able to set up his own household. By then, I will be able to relax a little and have time to accompany you."

Song smiled and said, "So, we should let the young couple spend more time together. After all, they have been married for so long, but they haven't had their wedding night yet. You are not anxious, but I am. After half a year of getting along, I have come to realize that a woman like Xiling is not only a good wife, but also a qualified clan wife. I am relieved to hand over the Changning Marquis' Mansion to her. In the future, Jin'er only needs to focus on official duties, and he won't have to worry about the family."

Marquis Changning pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice, "Madam, don't you think Xiling is superior to Jin'er in terms of intelligence, talent, and decisiveness, in addition to her learning?"

Song nodded, "Did you figure it out? If Xiling wasn't smart, would Jin'er, that stubborn kid, be able to become a submissive donkey now?"

Marquis Changning looked embarrassed, "Madam, that's your son, don't speak so harshly."

"The words are rough but the truth is true." Song replied, "The higher the virtue, the higher the evil. Xiling has a righteous mind and never seeks small gains. She is more capable than Jin'er and can persuade Jin'er. It is Jin'er's blessing."

Marquis Changning smiled awkwardly, "Madam, aren't you afraid that Jin'er's husband will lose his power? Other mothers-in-law would like their daughters-in-law to obey their sons and do everything they say."

Song squinted her eyes and glanced at Marquis Changning. "Although I am not smart, I have advised you not to be impulsive and do foolish things over the years. As for Jin'er, she has shortcomings, but Xiling can make up for Jin'er's shortcomings. This is a true virtue."

"I despise those women who pretend to be virtuous and arrange a concubine on the left and a bed warmer on the right for their husbands. They appear to be generous, but inwardly they wish to kill all the women who monopolize their husbands. "

"Jin'er is devoted to Xiling, so Xiling will naturally be devoted to him and willing to help him. If he doesn't know how to cherish her, then he can only wish him the best. Anyway, by then, our grandchildren will be grown up, and her husband will not be that important to Xiling anymore."

Changning Hou Zhou Ze felt a chill down his spine, fidgeting and feeling particularly guilty, "Madam, in your heart, am I not as good as Jin'er and the child in your belly?"

Song glanced at Marquis Changning and said, "It's better for you not to listen to some truths, lest you listen too much and start to have wild thoughts in your mind."

Marquis Changning was melancholy, "One misstep led to eternal regret. I was wrong. I was really bewildered at the beginning."

Seeing this, Song touched her belly which was not yet visible, and smiled, "My Lord, don't underestimate yourself. At least in my heart, you are the fifth."

"This..." Marquis Changning was shocked. "Even if I am behind the two children, I should be ranked third? How can I be ranked fifth?"

Seeing Marquis Changning's anxious look, Song was relieved. "Mother-in-law, now that you have a daughter-in-law, you can't treat Xiling as an outsider. It's good enough that you can rank fifth."

Marquis Changning felt particularly aggrieved and followed Song's lead in making a scene, "Madam, you are so hurtful to me. I work so hard every day, but it's all for you."

Song disagreed and retorted, "Don't say that. I can't bear such a big hat. I admit that you are prosperous outside, and I can also be rich and noble, but I just got a little bit of it. You did it for the Marquis' Mansion and for the children."

"I'm not afraid of hurting you when I tell you this. If it weren't for Aunt Bai, you would always be the first in my heart. But since you've already had other women, why do you still ask me to keep you at the top of my heart?"

"My heart isn't that big, and I want to put the person who's most important to me at the top of my heart. You think you've done well enough, but what about me? Am I not doing well enough? What's wrong with me?"

These words left Marquis Changning speechless.

This matter cannot be resolved.

However, even though Marquis Changning was blamed by the Song family, he did not intend to go out and do anything wrong.

Once he goes out and has affairs with other women, maybe the lapdog named Clown in the family will have a higher status than him in Song's heart in the future.

Fifth, so be it, at least it can be counted!
