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

Gu Xirong looked embarrassed. Even though what Gu Xiling said was true, who could have expected that Beirong was so cunning.

It has already happened, and there is no point in saying more now.

"Sister Ling, I know you mean well. But the enemy is too cunning. After your husband has won several consecutive victories, he will inevitably underestimate the enemy."

"My husband has been severely punished and is recuperating at home! I came all the way back to the capital just to make a deal with Sister Ling."

"I know who is behind Honglianfang. If you think this information is useful, then we can exchange it. If not, I will look for someone else."

Although Gu Xirong knew that it was best to cooperate with Gu Xiling, she did not want to be led by Gu Xiling in everything.

Dreams predict this kind of thing, which is very mysterious.

Through several attempts at cooperation, Gu Xiling and the Changning Marquisate had been convinced.

If you suddenly ask other people to cooperate, you will waste a lot of time and energy, and others may not believe it.

Psychologically, Gu Xirong was still willing to cooperate with Gu Xiling, otherwise she would not have gone to find Gu Xiling as soon as she returned to the capital.

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Actually, I am now hesitant about whether to exchange with you. After all, whether it is my father-in-law or my husband, they are not interested in women outside, let alone men outside."

"Therefore, the gossip brought by the Red Lotus Square outside has little impact on Changning Marquis's Mansion. It can be said that it has no impact. In this case, this news is not worth ten thousand taels of silver to us, nor is it worth Changning Marquis's Mansion to help Xie Jin eliminate the influence of greed and recklessness."

Seeing that Gu Xiling was reluctant, Gu Xirong didn't get angry, she just smiled and said, "If Honglianfang is related to Princess Xueying, are you interested?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiling showed a look of astonishment, "Princess Xueying had already followed the Queen Mother to Jiangnan to worship Buddha. She is thousands of miles away from Honglian Square. How could they be connected?"

"Sister Rong, this is a serious matter. Don't talk nonsense just for the sake of money. You know, once the transaction is over, I will definitely inform the Marquis' Mansion. If you lie to us, the consequences will be serious."

Gu Xirong rolled her eyes when she heard this. "How many times have we cooperated? Which time did I lie to you? Which time did you get the news in advance and didn't make any contribution or get any benefits?"

"You should know my character better than anyone else. Since I dare to come here to trade with you, I must have something to rely on. Besides, the Changning Marquis' Mansion is stronger than the Xie family. How dare we provoke the Changning Marquis' Mansion?"

Although these words made Gu Xirong feel very aggrieved, she knew very well that a lack of patience would ruin a great plan.

Since the situation is weaker than others, it is natural to keep low and humble. Wait until one day you are successful, and then turn around and vent your anger.

Gu Xiling pretended to think for a moment and nodded, "Ten thousand taels of silver is still too much. Besides, how should Changning Marquisate help Xie Jin, as you asked?"

Gu Xirong had already thought it through in her mind, "After the war between Kangguo and Beirong is over, can I transfer my husband to the northwest?"

Gu Xiling was stunned. "Xie's brother-in-law has just been in Beijing for a few months, and he is being transferred to the northwest again. Don't you think it's too frequent?"

Gu Xirong sighed, "My husband, you were too eager for success and made a big mistake this time. It will be very difficult to achieve success in the North. In this case, it is better to leave and start over in a new place. Maybe you will gain something unexpected."

Gu Xiling shook her head and sighed, "It is said that three men are better than one Zhuge Liang! Whether you are a military officer or a civil official, if you want to make a difference, you must not only have connections upward, but also a foundation downward."

"Sometimes, foundation is more important than connections. If you want to accomplish something, someone has to do it. You can't do everything yourself. Look at you and Xie's brother-in-law. Since you entered the officialdom, except for a few supporters in your original position before you got married, you have no supporters anywhere else. If this continues, it will be very inappropriate."

Gu Xirong was stunned. "This... Sister Ling does have some truth in what she said. However, my husband is now guilty, so it will be very difficult for him to make meritorious deeds."

Gu Xiling wanted to lower the terms of the exchange and continued to "waste her words". "Sister, you are wrong. Mistakes are made in the army. With the war approaching, Brother-in-law Xie should take care of his body and recover as soon as possible. Instead of wasting time and effort and being transferred to the northwest in disgrace, it is better to bravely admit your mistakes to General Wang and make meritorious contributions while serving your sentence."

Gu Xirong thought, "Then I will change the terms of the deal to five thousand taels of silver and a chance for Xie Jin to redeem himself for meritorious service."

Gu Xiling thought about it, "Two thousand taels of silver and a chance to redeem yourself for meritorious service. If you are willing, then we can make a deal. If not, then forget it."

"Anyway, the Marquisate and I are upright and have nothing to fear. Even if Princess Xueying has various means, we will remain unchanged in the face of change. After all, His Majesty Kangguo is now using the Marquisate of Changning, and he will not let Princess Xueying do whatever she wants."

Gu Xiling just wanted to use Gu Xirong's mouth to make the bad things of Honglianfang public, instead of spending a lot of money to give Gu Xirong.

The price she offered was already very generous, and there was no more to offer.

Gu Xirong looked at Gu Xiling resentfully, "I came all the way back from the northern border in this cold weather, and you are so stingy? You must have made a lot of money from those furs, right?"

Gu Xiling nodded, "I made money, but I didn't treat you unfairly. Twenty percent profit is only 18,000 taels of silver. I'll give you 20,000 taels of silver. You made a profit."

"Why didn't you tell me that I had an important dream prediction for you?" Gu Xirong insisted. She needed money now. "Two thousand taels is too little. Four thousand taels of silver."

"Two thousand taels, no more." Gu Xiling bargained.

Gu Xirong gritted her teeth and said, "Deal."

Gu Xiling took a sip of tea and asked, "Can I talk now?"

Gu Xirong leaned forward slightly and lowered her voice, "I'll scare you to death if I tell you this, the mastermind behind Honglianfang is Princess Xueying's father, Prince Yun."

"Impossible!" Gu Xiling exclaimed, "Wasn't King Yun assassinated during the rebellion?"

Seeing Gu Xiling's surprised look, Gu Xirong was quite pleased with herself, "Didn't you expect that? Your three thousand taels of silver are worth every penny. According to my dream, the mastermind behind this is King Yun."

Gu Xiling pretended to calm down and asked, "Why did Prince Yun do this? Did he fake his death back then?"

Gu Xirong smiled and said, "If you want to know more, you have to pay more!"

"You..." Gu Xiling gritted her teeth, "How much?"

"Ten thousand taels." Gu Xirong was short of money, and now that she saw Gu Xiling was interested, she certainly wouldn't let go of the opportunity to ask for a high price.

Gu Xiling gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it. There are only a few possible scenarios for faking death. I won't bother you, Sister Rong."

Gu Xirong was stunned. She had wanted to show off a long time ago, but Gu Xiling didn't want to listen because of the money. "Prince Yun faked his death. The process was bizarre and you can't guess it. In addition, Prince Yun faked his death back then. He might not have been able to accomplish it alone. There must be someone else involved."

"Aren't you curious? You can find out by spending a little money, so why be reluctant? What's more, your Changning Marquisate is not without money. Also, if Princess Xueying controls these evil forces, you are a thorn in her side. Can she let you go?"
