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

Gu Xirong took the box, opened it gently, and counted it again. There were exactly 20,000 taels of silver notes.

"After all, the Marquis' Mansion is very wealthy. Twenty thousand taels of silver, they just took it out without blinking an eye!"

Gu Xirong's eyes were filled with envy, and she was even more envious of Song's love for Gu Xiling.

She didn't have such good treatment back then, and she couldn't help feeling a little sour and jealous.

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Sister Rong, you are joking! Can we talk now?"

Gu Xirong nodded, put the banknotes back in place, closed the box, looked up and said with a smile: "Next month, your Majesty's birthday will be celebrated, and a birthday banquet will be held at the Imperial Manor. All civil and military officials and court ladies will be there."

"How could Princess Xueying not show up at such an occasion? Not only would she show up, she would also take the opportunity to drug you."

"Drug?" Gu Xiling exclaimed, "Are you trying to poison Zhou Jin to death?"

Gu Xirong raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully, "How could she bear to poison Zhou Jin to death? Even if she wanted to poison him, she would poison you. As long as you die, Zhou Jin will lose his wife, and the rest will be easier to handle!"

Hearing this, Gu Xiling was stunned. "That was at the imperial manor, His Majesty's birthday banquet, how could someone easily poison it?"

Gu Xirong had a mocking expression on her face. "Can it be difficult for a willful princess of the royal family to do anything she wants?"

Gu Xiling was stunned. Actually, what Gu Xirong said made sense.

Didn’t Princess Xueying do the same thing before, riding a horse and committing murder?

If what Gu Xirong said was true, it proved that these things really happened in the previous life.

Since Gu Xirong is not dead, she should know how to deal with it!

"Sister Rong, are these all your dreams? Do you have any solutions in your dreams?"

Gu Xirong felt even more proud when she heard Gu Xiling calling her Sister Rong in a tone that was more sincere than usual.

Although she hated Gu Xiling very much, when she really encountered problems, Gu Xiling was the only one who could truly help her.

Therefore, she must not let Gu Xiling fall, at least not now.

"Of course I dreamed about it. You won't eat or drink at that time, and you have to be careful not to let anyone spill wine or anything like that on you. Go wash your hands, and bring more people with you! It's just right to go with the other ladies, and never act alone."

Gu Xiling pretended to be scared and said, "Then I won't go. Can't I avoid it?"

Gu Xirong glanced at Gu Xiling and said, "You can hide from the first day, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day! Just because I can dream about it this time doesn't mean I can dream about it next time."

"Also, if you don't go, what if Princess Xueying changes her mind and drugs Zhou Jin? Even if Zhou Jin is not poisoned to death, she will falsely accuse Zhou Jin of having an affair with her. At that time, the Marquis of Changning will have to accept it even if they are not happy about it."

Gu Xiling was shocked. Was it really so outrageous?

"Impossible, but how could a princess of the royal family do such a shameless thing? If she really cared about Zhou Jin and asked the Queen Mother and the Empress to grant her marriage, she could at least have the status of a co-wife. Why would she resort to such dirty and despicable means?"

Gu Xirong laughed loudly upon hearing this, but then suddenly stopped laughing and lowered her voice to say, "A concubine? She's still a concubine. Can the royal family afford to lose such a person?"

"Her Majesty, the Queen Mother, and Your Majesty, how could you allow a noble princess of the royal family to share a husband with another woman?"

Gu Xiling blinked and nodded, "Sister is right! The royal princess is of noble status, and the royal family values ​​face the most, so they will never agree to Princess Xueying's request."

"But if this matter is already settled, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and His Majesty will have no choice but to accept it!"

Gu Xirong nodded, "Yes! So when you two go to attend His Majesty's birthday banquet, you must be careful and cautious, and don't get tricked."

"As your sister, how could I not tell you if I dreamed about something like this? It means that you feel that I have taken your place and you are resentful towards me."

"But now our identities have been straightened out. You are now the wife of the Marquis of Changning, and I am Madam Xie. The grudges and hatreds between us in the Gu family of the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion are all written off."

"With my ability and your financial resources, and with the help of the power of the Changning Marquisate, we can cooperate, share what we have, jointly resist risks, and create new achievements together."

Gu Xiling followed suit, "Yes! We swapped identities back then, and it's not your fault. That was done by your biological parents! Now we are separated, each with his own destination, and this can be considered as a conclusion to this cause and effect."

"It's just that I have no say in the Marquis' Mansion. At most, I can get some money. We can do business together, but no more! You also know that the Marquis' Mansion attracts the wind, and the Marquis' Mansion has always been separated from the military power, so sister, don't hold too much hope."

Gu Xirong smiled when she heard this, "It's good to be able to do business. The Xie family has fallen on hard times, and the most lacking thing is money! It's already good enough that we can do business together and make more money. I won't expect too much and force Sister Ling."

"I have said everything I need to say! My husband is leaving soon, and I should also pack my bags and reach the Northern Border City before the snow falls. There is no time to waste."

Gu Xiling nodded, "Sister Rong rarely comes here, I should have asked her to stay for dinner at the Marquis' Mansion. Since you are so busy, I won't force you! Sister Rong, take care."

Gu Xirong nodded, "With these 20,000 taels of silver, sister, don't send Cheng Yi away again!"

If Gu Xirong hadn't mentioned it specifically, Gu Xiling would have forgotten about it.

How could Gu Xiling not hear that Gu Xirong was deliberately reminding her?

Gu Xiling patted her forehead in a pretentious manner and said, "Look at my brain. I was frightened by Sister Rong's words just now. I might have forgotten such an important thing!"

"Xiuzhu, go to my room and get five hundred taels of silver. This is my gift to Sister Rong as she is about to go on a long journey. The mountains are high and the road is long. The north is bitterly cold. I hope Sister Rong takes care of herself on the way."

"Yes, Madam Crown Prince." Xiuzhu hurried to the inner room and took out five hundred taels of silver notes and put them in her purse.

Gu Xirong covered her mouth and smiled, "Since Sister Ling insisted on giving it to me, it's a token of her love. If she doesn't want it, then I'm being too unkind!"

Five hundred taels of silver can buy a lot of food! Only a fool would not want it!

Gu Xirong left the Changning Marquis' Mansion with a large sum of silver, and happily used the silver to buy food, medicinal herbs and a little cloth.

Gu Xiling instructed the servant to wait for the Marquis and the Prince to return home and let them go directly to the main courtyard.

Marquis Changning and Zhou Jin were very surprised. Every time they received such a notice, something big was about to happen.

What's the reason this time?

The father and son hurried to the main courtyard and saw only Song there, Gu Xiling had not arrived yet.

"Who came to the mansion today?" Marquis Changning asked Song.

Song replied, "Madam Xie is here! Xiling took 20,000 taels of silver from me and gave it to Madam Xie."

The eyes of Marquis Changning changed slightly, "Then this matter is not small!"
