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

Seeing her mother-in-law approaching, Gu Xirong stood up and saluted, "What are you talking about, mother? Is it something that a woman like me can change my husband's decision?"

"Besides, my husband, you have been familiar with military books since childhood, have great martial arts skills, and have lofty ambitions. You want to achieve unprecedented achievements. Mother should support you. Why do you have to say such discouraging words?"

Old Madam Xie’s finger almost poked Gu Xirong’s nose. “Don’t talk so nicely. You are a jinx! Jin’er used to be very respectful and filial to me.”

"Since I married you, you have not only indulged in sex, but also indulged in promiscuity in broad daylight, making Jin'er dizzy. You spend money lavishly, and you have ruined my Xie family."

Gu Xirong rode non-stop all the way back to the capital. Not only was she physically exhausted, she was also feeling quite irritable and annoyed.

As soon as she got home, she was scolded by her mother-in-law before she even had a rest. Even though Gu Xirong wanted to maintain an outward appearance of being virtuous, she could not hide the impatient and disgusted expression on her face.

Since Xie Jin was not in the capital anyway, Gu Xirong was not worried that Xie Jin would see her as unvirtuous and sharp-tongued.

"Does your Xie family still need me to defeat them? Do you really think I don't know the foundation of the Xie family? Before I joined the Xie family, there were less than 200 taels of silver in the account. What can it be used for?"

"I am the eldest daughter of the Jingyang Marquis's Mansion. My father married his daughter to the Xie family in order to repay his kindness. I don't care about the Xie family's shabby betrothal gifts or their poverty. It's because my father and I have set our eyes on my husband, Xie Jin."

"If we talk about wasting money, it has to be you, mother-in-law! As far as I know, my father-in-law died on the battlefield. Whether it's the family property, the pension, or the reward from your majesty, it's enough to make the Xie family rich."

"But you, even during the three years of mourning, spent a lot of silk, satin, pearls, jade and gems. You only spent and never earned. What kind of family could support your extravagance?"

Old Madam Xie was originally arrogant, but when she heard Gu Xirong scolding her like that, she became so angry that her face turned red.

"You are sharp-tongued, vicious, and disrespectful to your elders. Are all the daughters of Jingyang Marquis's mansion like you?"

Gu Xirong rolled her eyes when she heard this. "Who wouldn't praise the daughter of my Jingyang Marquis's mansion? Only a hysterical person like you would speak ill of my virtuous daughter-in-law!"

"If you stay in the Xie family, you will have a good life. If you don't stay in the Xie family, and you keep scolding and plotting against each other, don't expect to have a good life! I won't hide it from you. My husband was greedy for merit and was reckless in the army. He was beaten with fifty military sticks and suspended from his post."

When Madam Xie heard this, she was like a cock with its feathers standing on end. "My son is injured, why are you running back to the capital instead of staying by his side to serve him?"

Old Madam Xie regarded her son Xie Jin as the apple of her eye. When she heard that Xie Jin was injured, she became furious.

Gu Xirong sneered, "Of course I value my husband. I have asked the imperial physician to treat my husband. This is because my sister married into the Changning Marquis's mansion, and the Changning Marquis sent the imperial physician because of our relationship."

"Do you think I came to the capital to have fun? It's so cold, don't I know to stay at home? My husband made a mistake and was punished. In order to avoid being kicked when he's down, I can only ask Sister Ling and my family for help, otherwise my husband will never get ahead in his life."

The furious Madam Xie was so angry that she dared not say anything when she heard what Gu Xirong said.

Now the Xie family really depends on Gu Xirong, and so does her son. She made such a fuss, in fact, she wanted to help her son suppress Gu Xirong and let her know that the Xie family's surname is Xie, not Gu.

"You said all the good and bad things. Who knows if you are lying to me? Give me some money and arrange some people for me. I will go to the northern border and take good care of Jin'er."

When Mrs. Xie saw that Gu Xirong did not give her any face at all, she knew that Gu Xirong would not take her, the mother-in-law, seriously when she was away from her son's eyes.

"Mother, it's freezing cold. You see how much hardship I have suffered along the way. You are old and can't go at all. If my husband knew about it, he would not allow you to go." Gu Xirong tried to stop her, pretending to be anxious.

Seeing Gu Xirong anxious, Old Madam Xie became excited, "Gu, my son is seriously injured. Why don't you let me visit him?"

Gu Xirong shook her head and sighed, "Mother, I am doing this for your own good. This journey is very difficult. If you want to go, it is best to wait until the end of spring or the beginning of summer. It is not possible now. Thank you, housekeeper, please send the old lady back quickly and take good care of her."

Butler Xie is old, but now he has to obey the madam's orders, "Old madam, please go back. Madam has just returned from the northern border and has been traveling all the way. You don't need to rest."

"Besides, Madam, the general has entrusted you with a great responsibility. You should rest well before you can help the general plan. Please don't make things worse. If no one helps, the general will have to fight alone. I don't know how many years it will take for him to return to the capital."

Mrs. Xie, who had been unwilling to give in, had to swallow her anger after hearing what Butler Xie said. "I will believe you."

Old Madam Xie left angrily, not having gained any advantage.

Aunt Liu asked, "Madam, the old lady will never be content with this."

Gu Xirong snorted when she heard this, "Put two hundred taels of silver in the account to be used for spending during this period of time."

Madam Liu was stunned. "Madam, there is money in the account. Can the old lady let it go? You put the money here, and she took it away the next moment!"

Gu Xirong sneered, "Mother-in-law insisted on taking him away, and there was nothing I could do as her daughter-in-law. Aunt Liu, send someone to tell the old lady that my husband is seriously injured and can't walk."

Madam Liu was stunned. "Madam, what are you doing?"

Gu Xirong raised her eyebrows, "Haha, what mother wouldn't worry about her son? Not to mention snow and rain, even if it rains knives, it will pass."

"But this road is really difficult to travel. If we hadn't followed an experienced caravan, we might have frozen to death on the road." Nanny Liu was shocked and panicked.

Gu Xirong sighed, "What can we do? What if mother-in-law refuses to listen to my advice and secretly withdraws money and insists on going without telling us? There is nothing I can do!"

Madam Liu understood and smiled secretly. Madam's move was brilliant. "Yes, Madam, I will arrange it right away."

In fact, it was just as Gu Xirong guessed.

Two hundred taels of silver were put into the account this afternoon. Before daybreak the next day, Old Madam Xie, along with her maids and nannies, broke down the door of the accounting office, took the silver, and asked the donkey driver who had followed them from the farm to drive the carriage out of the city.

Gu Xirong was exhausted and slept until noon.

Madam Liu lowered her voice and said, "Madam, the old lady really robbed the silver and left the city. She packed a lot of luggage and robbed the carriage. She didn't trust our driver, so she asked the farmers she brought from the farm to drive the carriage to the northern border."

Gu Xirong snorted, "It's hard to persuade a dead ghost with good words. I'm going to the teahouse to see Sister Ling today, but I don't know what happened in the mansion."

"Madam is right." Madam Liu agreed, and she also thanked the old lady.

Such people only cause trouble, they might as well die!

Gu Xiling had just finished her breakfast when she received a message from Xiuzhen personally delivering an invitation to her house, which immediately made her excited.

Her "good sister" may have another "dream prophecy".
