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

When Gu Xirong saw Xie An coming to see her, she quickly handed the work in her hands to Xiuzhen.

"Xie An, what's going on? Why did your husband ask you to come and see me?" Gu Xirong asked, unable to wait to go home.

Xie An replied: "Madam, the general received a letter from the general. It must be an urgent matter, and the general asked me to call you back to discuss it."

Seeing that Xie An didn't know either, Gu Xirong didn't ask any more questions.

After returning home, Gu Xirong hurried to the bedroom and asked the servants outside, "Husband, what happened in the capital?"

Xie Jin replied, "Madam, the Red Lotus House in the capital has been closed down, but the Red Lotus House should have received the news and the people have left. Neither the government nor the Jinlin Guards seem to have found out the whereabouts of the male favorites in the Red Lotus House. Madam, should we inform the Marquis of Changning about the mastermind behind the Red Lotus House?"

Hearing this, Gu Xirong's face changed drastically, "Honglianfang was closed down?"

In the previous life, it was clearly going to be sealed off next summer, but now it has been sealed off before the New Year. What on earth happened in Beijing?

Now that the mastermind has been found out, it is useless even if she knows the mastermind behind Honglianfang.

"My husband, you are right. If Jin Linwei wants to find out something, then it is only a matter of time before he finds out the result. Now we really need to think about how to use this information to gain the greatest benefit."

Xie Jin nodded, "My lady is right. But I am being punished now, and even if Marquis Changning speaks to me, the general will not revoke my punishment. Now that a war is imminent, we must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments."

"My lady, you are so smart. Think about how to use this information to gain useful benefits. We have too few people to rely on in the North. We must think of a proper solution."

Gu Xirong's eyes turned slightly, "How about we ask the Marquis of Changning to transfer us to the northwest?"

Now Gu Xirong has lost confidence in the Northern Territory and doesn't want to continue suffering there.

Go to a place that can change Xie Jin's fortune, that is, the place where Xie Jin was prosperous in his previous life, and start over.

Xie Jin was startled and said hesitantly, "I would like to go to the northwest, but it seems that it is not possible for us to transfer positions so frequently. In addition, I am suspending my position, not making meritorious contributions. Even if I go to the northwest, I will be in disgrace, not a meritorious general."

Gu Xirong pondered for a moment, "My husband, the Marquis of Changning may not see me to avoid suspicion. Why don't I go to the capital and make a deal with Sister Ling?"

"After all, the Marquis's Mansion is as deep as the sea. If Sister Ling wants to gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion, she must have something to rely on. The dream I provided her with predicted that she would be quite respectable in the Marquis' Mansion of Changning. In this way, it might be better for her to associate with Sister Ling."

Xie Jin was startled, "Aren't you going to tell Marquis Changning?"

Gu Xirong thought for a moment, then said, "I went there last time to deliver so much food and medicinal herbs, but I didn't see Marquis Changning. Is he really busy? Not necessarily!"

"Marquis Changning does not have any military power, especially during a war. Since he wants to avoid suspicion, we should just go with the flow. When we get to the capital, Sister Ling will definitely tell Zhou Jin about this."

"Zhou Jin is young. He may not be able to control or handle such things, so they will inform the Marquis of Changning. The Marquis of Changning is very good at seizing every opportunity and will naturally take action."

"Let's just stay calm and wait at home. I don't believe this won't bring us good results."

The reason why Gu Xirong felt relieved to leave was because Xie Jin had been beaten with fifty military sticks. Even if his life was not in danger, he was injured and would not have any other thoughts.

Besides, the maids around Xie Jin were all ugly, and there was also an old nanny.

Gu Xirong can leave with peace of mind.

Xie Jin thought for a moment, "My dear, I am injured and cannot go back to Beijing with you. Besides, I am a criminal. I have to let you go back to Beijing alone."

Gu Xirong was actually a little tired, but in order to become the Regent's princess in the future, she had to try her best.

Anyway, what Gu Xiling had in her previous life, she also wants to have now.

"Husband, please don't say that. I've said it many times. We are husband and wife, and it's my duty to make plans for you. Although it's been cold and hard along the way, if we don't tell you this news, we won't get any benefits and it will be wasted."

"But if we tell Sister Ling, the Changning Marquisate will certainly make good use of it, and will be willing to give us benefits. Even if they won't help my husband out of trouble now, they will help him a little in the future. This is better than us suffering."

Xie Jin agreed deeply, "My wife is right."

In this way, Gu Xirong made arrangements for Xie Jin, then asked the maids and servants to pack their luggage and set off back to Beijing.

It snowed and rained along the way. When we arrived in the capital, it was already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Kangguo is now at war with the Northern Rong, but this has not affected the New Year atmosphere in Kangguo.

After a year of hard work, people finally hang up lanterns and decorations, paste peach charms and set off fireworks in the winter to celebrate the Spring Festival.

The closer to the capital, the more prosperous the villages and cities become.

Gu Xirong's eyes were filled with envy. She looked at everything around her greedily, with mixed feelings.

Because Xie Jin lost the battle and caused so many casualties, he was not only beaten with a military stick but also severely punished. He didn't know when he would be able to return to the capital.

The reason she is able to hold on now is because Xie Jin was the regent in her previous life and was able to make her the regent princess.

It is precisely because of this belief that Gu Xirong can quickly adjust her mentality even when she encounters difficulties and keeps fighting after repeated failures.

Gu Xirong returned to the Xie family, and before she had time to rest, she was given a warning by her mother-in-law.

When Old Madam Xie saw Gu Xirong coming back, she personally blocked the gate of Gu Xirong's courtyard and made sarcastic remarks.

"You are such a jinx! My son is doing well in the capital, but you insist on sending him to the north to build his career."

"On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind. Jin'er's father died on the battlefield. Are you going to kill Jin'er?"

Gu Xirong felt her scalp tingling when she heard those sharp and harsh words. "Who let her out?"

Madam Liu replied in a low voice: "No one released the old lady. She was pretending to be sick. The people in the farm thought that she was dying, so they had no choice but to send her to the capital."

"After hiring a doctor here for treatment, she was cured in three days. During these three days, the old lady behaved very normally outside and told others that her hysteria was cured."

"Anyone who sends her to the farm again is disrespecting her as an old lady. Several people wanted to send the old lady back to the farm, but they were beaten by the people around her."

There were not many servants in the family. Gu Xirong had a lot of things to do when she went to Beijing this time, so she took almost all the young and strong servants in the family with her, leaving only some old and weak ones.

Because of this, the people who stayed in the mansion could not control Old Madam Xie at all.

From then on, Old Madam Xie began to dominate and abuse her power in the Xie family again.
