I have to say that Gu Xirong does have some abilities.

This temptation made Gu Xiling want to buy it even more.

"Sister Rong, what's the point of my curiosity? The key is that you raise the price by 10,000 taels of silver. Changning Marquis's Mansion has silver, but my mother-in-law is the head of the family. How can I give you so much silver?"

"Besides, some things are better left alone. The Changning Marquis's Mansion may seem prosperous now, but the eunuch is busy outside and it is quite dangerous. Even if we know this, we can't do anything."

"It's because I'm worried about being punished by Princess Xueying that I'm concerned. Sister Rong, I won't accept your exorbitant price. Two thousand taels of silver is the highest price I can offer. You've taken away all the silver I had saved."

Gu Xirong had been the daughter-in-law of the Changning Marquis Mansion in her previous life, so she naturally understood that the Song family was in charge of the Changning Marquis Mansion.

Although Gu Xiling looks respectable, it seems that she is not having a good life!

"Sister Ling, your dowry is so generous, and the Changning Marquis's Mansion doesn't spend as much on their daughter-in-law's dowry as the Xie family does. You must not be short of money. Besides, I was the one who told you about the fur business last time."

"Even if the one who paid was the wife of the Marquis of Changning, if you make money, I'm sure the wife will give you tens of thousands of taels of silver. It's impossible for her to give you nothing. Don't cry poor in front of me."

"For the sake of our sisterly love, I will not ask you for 10,000 taels of silver. I will ask you for 8,000 taels of silver. No less. Otherwise, I will have to find a way to cooperate with others."

"In the capital, there are many people who want to make great achievements. If my sister doesn't know the value of the item, there will naturally be someone who does. Maybe by then it won't be eight thousand taels of silver. Even if it's twenty thousand taels of silver, there will still be someone who wants it."

Gu Xiling certainly wouldn't indulge Gu Xirong, and raised her eyebrows, "Then do you dare to tell others about the dream? If someone is watching you, do you think Xie Jin can protect you? With such a special ability, do you think those people will let you walk freely outside?"

"Money is important, but life and freedom are more important. You and I both come from the Jingyang Marquis's Mansion. You have traded with me several times, but have you ever felt that I and the Changning Marquis's Mansion are taking advantage of you? Have I ever broken my promise to you and Brother-in-law Xie?"

"You..." Gu Xirong was speechless and angry, but finally she lost her temper.

Gu Xiling is a calculating person, and what she said makes sense.

"Sister Rong, don't be angry, think about it carefully." Gu Xiling chuckled, "Have I ever hurt you?"

Gu Xirong thought about it carefully. "Yes, of course not. The herbs and food for this year's flood disaster were donated anonymously to the court by the Marquis of Changning Mansion, right?"

Gu Xiling nodded, "Yes!"

"It's because of those grains and herbs that I can't sell my herbs and grains." Gu Xirong felt particularly distressed when she thought about losing so much money.

Gu Xiling rolled her eyes, "I was saving you. Didn't you see that after the flood, those grain merchants who hoarded goods and sold them at high prices were beheaded?"

"If it weren't for me, you would have earned money but would not have lived to spend it. Even if you were lucky enough to save your life, you would have been branded as someone who made money out of a national disaster. Do you think Xie's brother-in-law still has hope in his career?"

"Isn't Li Guojiu powerful? He is the Empress's younger brother and the Crown Prince's uncle. Because he used his retainers to make money during the national crisis and embezzled money, not only was he beheaded, but now he is also suppressed by His Majesty."

Gu Xirong felt distressed. If she had known earlier, she would not have done that business and perhaps she would not have lost the dowry money.

After hearing what Gu Xiling said, Gu Xirong was unable to refute it. She thought that if someone like Li Guojiu knew that she had a dream prediction, he would probably imprison her.

After much thought, it is safer to cooperate with Gu Xiling.

"Six thousand taels of silver, no less." Gu Xirong lowered the price.

Gu Xiling blinked her eyes. "Three thousand taels of silver, plus the previous two thousand taels, I'll give you five thousand taels of silver. In addition, I'll ask the Marquis to help give Xie Jin a chance to redeem himself for his crimes."

"This opportunity is worth a fortune and is extremely rare. If it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't dare let my father-in-law do this. Think about it carefully, right?"

Gu Xirong gritted her teeth and said, "Sister Ling is sharp-tongued, I admit defeat. Deal, three thousand is three thousand."

Gu Xiling also breathed a sigh of relief. The money she spent was not more than she expected. "Sister, please speak now."

"Silver note?" Gu Xirong stretched out her hand for the silver.

Gu Xiling shook her head and laughed, "How can I have so much money when I go out? Don't worry, I, Gu Xiling, am a man of my words and I will never break my promise."

In view of Gu Xiling's good reputation, Gu Xirong reluctantly agreed, "Prince Yun, he was in love with the Barbarian Princess, but due to his status, he could not leave rashly, so he faked his death and left."

Gu Xiling exclaimed, "Ah? Tian Gang really loves beauty more than the country. He has a princely title, a pregnant wife, and a daughter, but he just left with a barbarian woman like that?"

In her previous life, she learned from some historical materials that the mastermind behind Honglianfang was King Yun, but she didn't know what the exact process was.

At that time, Gu Xirong was the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Changning and was in the vortex of Princess Xueying's covetousness. She knew more than her.

Gu Xirong's eyes were filled with sarcasm. "Wife? Daughter? They are worthless in front of so-called true love. As for the title of prince? What's so rare about that? If there is a chance to become an emperor in the future, who would care about the title of prince?"

After Gu Xiling was stunned, she asked again: "Sister Rong, that's not right! If you want to rebel, can you succeed by relying on those male prostitutes in Honglianfang to infect you with dirty diseases? Isn't this too unrealistic?"

Gu Xirong smiled, "Yes, if that's all, it's really a fantasy. Prince Yun just used these male prostitutes to stir up a stir in the capital, to make people panic, and to divert the attention of His Majesty and the court officials. His real purpose, his exact purpose, is the Queen Mother."

Gu Xiling lowered her eyes, "Empress Dowager? Could the Empress Dowager still attack Your Majesty? But there is still the Crown Prince, it is not the turn of a prince who has been dead for several years."

Gu Xirong mocked, "Everyone says you're smart, but can't you see that the emperor is gone and the crown prince needs someone to help him ascend the throne? How can we not use a loyal uncle who has returned from the dead?"

"When the time comes, Prince Yun will have the Queen Mother to help him. Although the Crown Prince is the emperor, his control over the court is not something that can be achieved overnight. If the Crown Prince has another accident, and he has a posthumous child, and he helps the posthumous child to ascend to the throne, what's the difference between Prince Yun and being the emperor?"

"What's worse, the child is still young and could easily die. Of course, the Qi family must take the throne. With the Queen Mother here, who is more qualified than Prince Yun?"

Gu Xiling suddenly realized, "Sister Rong is right, I understand."

Gu Xirong sighed, her husband was unlucky, "It's because my husband's position is low and his influence is not important, otherwise, how could such a good thing be leaked?"

Gu Xirong had originally had a good plan. After Xie Jin had accomplished great deeds in the north, he would find a way to return to Beijing to report on his work.

Take this opportunity to expose the mastermind of Honglianfang and make another great contribution.

Xie Jin was punished for his greed and recklessness, and was unable to move. The Red Lotus Square was exposed ahead of time, and the plan could not keep up with the changes. Gu Xirong could only reluctantly give up her "love".
