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

Now many people in Northern Border City know Madam Xie’s name and are grateful to her.

Other families in the Northern City, whether actively or passively, also distributed porridge and medicine outside the city.

At this moment, Xie An came galloping on horseback, "Madam, something has happened to the general!"

When Gu Xirong heard this, the spoon of porridge in her hand fell into the pot, "What happened to the general? Is he injured?"

There were many people gathered around, asking and looking at this side, so Xie An certainly couldn't tell the truth.

"The general was seriously injured when he was chasing the Northern Rong! Fortunately, his life is not in danger!"

Gu Xirong felt relieved when she heard this, as long as she was not dead, it would be fine.

"You give out porridge here, I'll go back first!" Gu Xirong's eyes were red as she looked at the victims, "Everyone, don't worry, line up, there's something for everyone!"

The victims were even more moved. Mrs. Xie distributed porridge. General Xie was injured in the battle. "Mrs. Xie, good people are rewarded. General Xie will recover soon."

"Good people will be rewarded. Madam Xie is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva with a kind heart. The Buddha will surely bless Madam Xie and General Xie."

After hearing what the villagers said, Gu Xirong nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

Gu Xirong got on the carriage and urged the driver to drive faster.

After entering the house, Gu Xirong hurriedly asked: "Xie An, tell me the whole process, how did you get injured?"

Now that he is back home, Xie An is not afraid of word getting out. "The general disobeyed military orders, pursued the victory, and marched deep into the enemy territory alone. The Northern Rong came to reinforce. The general could only order a breakout, and then... then out of more than 200 people, only five returned."

When Gu Xirong heard this, her heart skipped a beat. "Only five people came back? That's too dangerous! Did the general get injured on the battlefield?"

Xie An replied: "I was injured on the battlefield, but now I am seriously injured because I violated military orders. General Wang ordered me to be beaten with 50 military sticks and suspended from my post."

Gu Xirong was dumbfounded. This was a serious crime.

Fortunately, Xie Jin came back alive, which was better than dying on the battlefield.

As for...as for those soldiers gone, it's better than Xie Jin gone.

As Gu Xirong walked, she complained in her heart, remembering what Gu Xiling had once told her: leading troops in battle was not easy and that one must obey orders.

But when Xie Jin arrived at the military camp outside the northern border city, he made several contributions, big and small, and began to be greedy for merit and act recklessly.

This time, not only did they disobey military orders, but there were also serious casualties. The crime is not a small one!

Gu Xirong was anxious. She had spent so much money and done so much superficial work to open up the situation in Northern Border City. Now she was accused of being greedy for merit and reckless. Wasn't it all in vain?

When I returned to the room, I saw Xie Jin lying on the bed with a swollen buttock, groaning in pain.

"Husband, you...you are..." Gu Xirong rushed over and cried loudly.

Xie Jin opened his eyes and said weakly to Gu Xirong, "It's just fifty military sticks. It's nothing. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Gu Xirong wiped her tears and said, "Husband, I feel sorry for you."

Xie Jin's eyes showed guilt, "Xirong, I made you worry. I was wrong this time. In order to achieve great merit, I violated military orders. I didn't expect... Oh, if I had known, I wouldn't have pursued."

Seeing the dejected Xie Jin, Gu Xirong encouraged him, "Your husband's original intention was good, but those Beirong people were too cunning. Take good care of your injuries. What should your husband do now?"

Xie Jin thought for a moment, then said, "General Wang will definitely report my mistake. Even if he doesn't, the Jinlin Guards will report it. I'm very likely to be demoted this time. You should quickly write a letter to the Changning Marquis' Mansion and ask them to help us."

Gu Xirong was startled. "Marquis Changning is in Beijing City. How about I go and ask him for help now?"

Xie Jin nodded, "Prepare a generous gift. Even if Marquis Changning doesn't accept it, we can spread the word about our relationship with him. Even if I am demoted, we still have a relative like Marquis Changning, and others won't dare to bully us."

In the North, it is difficult to get ahead without a background.

Now that he has made a big mistake, many people want to step on him to get to the top, but Xie Jin is unwilling to accept that.

Gu Xirong certainly didn't want Xie Jin to be dismissed from his post, "Husband, please wait a moment, I'll go right away."

Xie Jin held Gu Xirong's hand and said, "I'm sorry, my lady."

Gu Xirong shook her head, "Husband, you don't want to do this either. Besides, we are husband and wife, and this is what I should do. Husband, I've changed the medicine, and you should have a good rest."

Xie Jin felt really uncomfortable after saying these words.

Xie An changed the medicine for Xie Jin, while Gu Xirong packed some gifts and went to the official residence of Marquis Changning in the northern border to request to see him.

At this moment, Marquis Changning was processing the intelligence transmitted from Beirong and then issuing orders.

Marquis Changning came ostensibly to provide disaster relief, but in reality he came to cooperate with Lai Fu and General Wang to attack from both inside and outside in order to undermine the rule of the King of Beirong.

Things are going well now, and all we need is one battle to defeat the Northern Rong army.

"My lord, Madam Xie wants to see you." Zhou Ba whispered softly in Marquis Changning's ear. In fact, he already knew why Madam Xie came here.

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze frowned slightly and waved his hand, "She is a woman who came to visit, and the women in the mansion are not here, so it is inconvenient for me to meet her. Just say that I am too busy with official duties and have no time to see her."

"As for Xie Jin's greed for merit and reckless behavior, he was given fifty military sticks. He must be allowed to rest at home. Send Doctor Xu to see Xie Jin. As for the rest, let's not say more."

Zhou Ba agreed, "Yes, Lord."

Zhou Ba arrived at the living room and saw Gu Xirong. "Madam Xie, the Marquis is busy with official duties and has no time to see guests. I have specifically instructed my subordinates to tell Madam Xie that General Xie is injured and must take good care of his injuries. I have also sent Doctor Xu to the mansion to see General Xie."

When Gu Xirong heard this, she felt relieved. At least Marquis Changning was willing to send a doctor to Xie Mansion.

In this way, many people who want to take advantage of others' misfortune will not dare to do so blatantly or go too far, at least for the sake of the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Gu Xirong agreed, "Now that my husband is injured, I have to take care of him at home and have no time to distribute porridge outside the city. I will donate the food and medicinal materials stored in the warehouse to you on behalf of the general for disaster relief."

Hearing this, Zhou Ba was startled, and then replied: "Thank you, Madam, please wait a moment. I will report to the Marquis."

"Thank you, Guard Zhou." Gu Xirong thanked him and took Doctor Xu back home.

When Marquis Changning heard Zhou Ba's report, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Send someone over to bring the food and medicine here, and allocate them together to help more victims."

"Yes, Lord." Zhou Ba agreed, "Lord, this Madam Xie obviously wants to take advantage of the power of our Changning Marquisate."

Marquis Changning nodded, "She is quite clever. She knows how to come and take advantage of the power of Marquis Changning's Mansion. Since the two families are not enemies, we have to let them take advantage of the power."

"In that case, we won't give them those food and herbs for nothing. At least in the northern border, even if Xie Jin is demoted, he won't be driven away in disgrace. This move of hers is a good one."
