Lai Fu observed carefully and found that Major General Xie Jin did not know about Cheng Yi.

After confirming this, Lai Fu returned the silver and left without staying any longer. "It's curfew soon. I'll take my leave."

Xie Jin forced out an awkward smile, "Thank you. Please tell my brother-in-law that I am very grateful for his kindness."

"Yes!" Lai Fu responded and left quickly.

Xie Jin had a gloomy face. After entering the gate, he lowered his voice and said, "Investigate immediately. Who did this?"

There are only three masters in the Xie family. Besides him, there are only his mother and Gu Xirong.

My mother didn't understand official affairs and would never send a gift to Yu Chengzhi, a stranger.

That leaves only Gu Xirong.

Before, he followed Gu Xirong's advice and helped Li Guojiu at a critical moment, and was promoted.

He was promoted from the seventh-rank General Zhenwei to the sixth-rank General Pingnan.

Since he has already become Li Guojiu's disciple, why should he send him to Yu Chengzhi and Cheng Yi?

The servants soon investigated and found out that it was indeed Gu Xirong who sent it.

Xie Jin was really satisfied with this marriage.

Gu Xirong is one of the two beauties in Beijing.

Both her appearance and talent are excellent.

With his family background, even if he has talent, he may not be able to marry.

Originally, he thought it was a great fortune to marry Gu Xiling, the daughter of the Marquis of Jingyang who was raised outside.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xirong cried and shouted, and insisted on marrying him, abandoning her childhood sweetheart and the talented Zhou Jin.

The last time I heard Gu Xirong in the garden of Jingyangbo's mansion, I admired his martial arts and talent and fell in love with him at first sight.

I thought I was a good wife, but what I did today was really ridiculous!

It might ruin the future he had worked so hard to plan.

Xie Jinlong walked with the gait of a tiger, his face gloomy, and entered the courtyard. He rushed in without waiting for the maid to report.

Gu Xirong was feeling sleepy today and was taking a nap while leaning on the rich flowery couch.

Hearing the noise, he opened his eyes immediately.

She observed Xie Jin's expression and saw that he looked unhappy. She stood up quickly and asked, "Husband, what's wrong?"

Xie Jin threw the brocade bag containing the silver directly onto the table. With a "bang", the teapot and teacups in the bag fell to the ground.

There was another loud crash, and the porcelain pieces shattered and scattered everywhere.

"You were the one who suggested that you join Li Guojiu's school. Why did you send Cheng Yi to Yu Chengzhi? Don't you know that Yu Chengzhi's target of attack is Li Guojiu?"

Gu Xirong was so frightened that her heart and liver were trembling. She fell on the couch, her face pale and her eyes misty with tears. "Husband, I...I am doing this all for your own good!"

"For my own good?" Xie Jin's expression became even uglier. His dark face and small eyes were filled with coldness. "I think you want to kill me! If Uncle Li finds out, my future will be ruined!"

After the initial panic, Gu Xirong calmed down and said, "My husband, Yu Chengzhi is a man of great talent. It would be beneficial for you to make friends with him in advance."

Xie Jin snorted coldly, "I don't know whether Yu Chengzhi has talent or not, but giving Cheng Yi as a present now will do me more harm than good. Don't do such stupid things again in the future."

"You don't know, when the servant from Changning Marquis's Mansion gave me the silver, I wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into."

Gu Xirong was stunned and pointed at the silver on the table, "How did this silver get to Changning Marquis's Mansion?"

Xie Jin frowned and sneered at what Gu Xirong had just said, "It's better to make friends in advance than to do harm."

The women in the rear house have long hair and little knowledge.

Even though he is smart, he is confined to the inner chamber and acts without any rules.

"Don't you know that Zhou Jin and Yu Chengzhi have a very good relationship? Zhou Jin avoided being demoted because he nursed his grandmother to death."

"Several good friends were demoted and left Beijing. It is reasonable for Zhou Jin to give them gifts of money. Yu Chengzhi and I have no connection, so why would he accept the money you sent him?"

"Don't do stupid things like this again. Also, I warn you, if you do anything next time, you must consult with me and don't make decisions on your own."

Gu Xirong was stunned. After the marriage, she started to make plans for Xie Jin.

He solved the trouble for Li Guojiu in advance, allowing him to escape disaster, and was highly valued by Li Guojiu.

Xie Jin has been in high spirits recently, and she also hopes that her husband will become famous and wealthy.

But the mother-in-law was so angry recently when she saw Xie Jin doting on her that she almost got black eyes.

Not only did he have to visit him every morning and evening, but he also had to ask her to serve him three meals a day personally and let her eat leftovers.

For the sake of her reputation as a virtuous woman and to avoid embarrassing Xie Jin, she endured it.

I was so busy and tired every day that I even forgot to pay attention to my husband’s family in my previous life.

"Impossible!" Gu Xirong was puzzled. Although Zhou Jin and Wang Shiwen were not demoted this time, the Changning Marquisate and the Wang family were greatly affected.

The Changning Marquisate was trying to protect itself and did not allow Zhou Jin to give Chengyi gifts to Yu Chengzhi and the others who were demoted.

It was Wang Shiwen who delivered it, and received great help from those four people, while Zhou Jin was despised by his former colleagues and friends.

When Xie Jin heard Gu Xirong actually say "impossible", he raised his hand and slapped Gu Xirong in the face.

"Gu, I respect you as a girl from Jingyang Marquis's mansion, well-educated, intelligent and virtuous. But you are stubborn and put me on the fence."

"You don't know that Uncle Li will do anything to those who betray him. He is extremely cruel. You sent Cheng Yi to Yu Chengzhi, which is simply harming me."

When immersed in "impossible" and "different from the previous life", Gu Xirong only felt pain on her face, her body became limp, and she fell to the ground.

"Husband, I...I really don't mean to hurt you! You have to believe me!"

After beating Gu Xirong, Xie Jin secretly regretted it.

Although we have now hooked up with Uncle Li, we cannot but give face to the Jingyang Marquis's Mansion. There will be many times in the future when we will need the Gu family.

Xie Jin looked better. "You only said it was for my own good, but you didn't tell me why. How can I trust you?"

"This..." Gu Xirong was dumbfounded. She couldn't say that she was reborn and knew how the future would develop.

Xie Jin frowned, and the guilt he felt for beating and scolding Gu Xirong disappeared completely. "What are you hiding from me? Yu Chengzhi is Zhou Jin's good friend. Are you still attached to Zhou Jin?"

Xie Jin appears to be cheerful and heroic on the surface, but that is all pretended as a protective color; he is actually very inferior inside.

In the past, Gu Xirong and Zhou Jin were rumored to be a perfect match. Whether in terms of family background, appearance, or talent, Xie Jin could not compare to Zhou Jin.

Any random thing could make Xie Jin suspect that Gu Xirong still had feelings for Zhou Jin.

Gu Xirong became anxious and shook her head quickly, determined not to let Xie Jin make such a ridiculous guess.

"Husband, you...you may not believe it, but I dream, and dreams sometimes come true."

No one believed me when I said I was reborn, and I was afraid that Xie Jin would think I was a monster.

Xie Jin was stunned. His dark face was red with anger. "Gu, I didn't expect you to be such a person. You are full of nonsense."

Gu Xirong's thoughts were in a mess. At this moment, she suddenly had an idea, "All the servants, go out."

"Yes!" The master and the mistress were arguing, and the servants were worried that innocent people would be implicated, so they received the order and rushed out.

Xie Jin's eyes were full of suspicion, thinking that Gu Xirong was just being mysterious.

"My dear, in five days it will be the beginning of summer, and it will hail on that day. You will know for yourself whether I am lying or not."

Xie Jin was shocked. "Gu, do you know that if there is no hail, and it gets out, you will be spreading rumors and misleading the public?"

Gu Xirong touched her hurt face and secretly hated Xie Jin for being so cruel and hitting her.

She looked directly at Xie Jin, her eyes dodging and retreating!

"In my dream, it was hailstorm at noon on the day of the beginning of summer. Is it just a lie or a dream come true? General, please make your final decision."
