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

Gu Xiling thought carefully and realized that this was a serious matter.

She cannot make decisions on her own and must make overall plans to avoid risks and maximize benefits.

"Sister Rong, thank you very much. Brother-in-law Xie is lucky to have a good wife like you."

Gu Xiling didn't just say this nonsense, she meant it from the heart.

If a talented person can be humble and down-to-earth, and then use these dreams to predict, he can indeed make great achievements and become a trusted and loyal minister of Your Majesty.

But Xie Jin is not humble and down-to-earth!

I always feel that I have outstanding abilities and can achieve great success. But great success doesn't happen overnight!

Forget it, Gu Xiling doesn't worry about Xie Jin anymore, she is now a wife of the Zhou family. Even if she worries, it should be for her family's handsome prince!

Gu Xirong took another bite of the snack and said, "The snacks here are really delicious. You should try some too."

Gu Xiling wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "I'm not hungry, Sister Rong, enjoy your meal. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Gu Xirong ate some snacks while saying, "Sister Ling, we used to scheme against each other and compete for favor in front of our parents, but I didn't expect that we are the ones who interact the most now."

"Life is unpredictable, that's true. Although every time it's an exchange, I have to admit that you have helped me the most. Of course, I didn't get these benefits for nothing, I exchanged them with you."

Gu Xiling nodded in agreement, "Sister Rong is right. We don't owe each other anything. This is a fair trade. Since Sister Rong didn't compete with me for the marriage at the Changning Marquis' Mansion, I knew Sister Rong was reasonable."

Hearing this, Gu Xirong became even more certain that Gu Xiling was not reborn, otherwise why would she give up the high and mighty position of Regent Princess and insist on marrying a future down-and-out scholar?

No, Gu Xiling received so many predictions in her dreams, which helped the Changning Marquisate avoid many crises.

Will the Changning Marquisate become as destitute as it was in the previous life?

Gu Xirong chewed the snack lightly, frowning. After careful calculation, she found that the Changning Marquisate had not only survived the crisis, but also seemed to be gaining more and more trust from His Majesty and becoming more and more powerful in the capital.

Will this affect Xie Jin?

For the first time, Gu Xirong began to doubt her ability to help Xie Jin become the regent?

"Sister Ling, how is Zhou's brother-in-law treating you? Is he okay?"

Gu Xiling chuckled, "It's okay. After all, we are still newlyweds. We haven't reached the stage where we are sick of each other yet."

Gu Xirong was in mixed feelings. Why was it that after she married Zhou Jin, the Changning Marquis' Mansion kept encountering troubles and getting worse and worse?

"Congratulations to my brother-in-law of the Zhou family for being promoted to the fifth rank. Because of his high yield of good seeds, not only His Majesty but even the Crown Prince praised him endlessly. He will surely have a bright future in the future, and my sister will surely be able to marry a rich and powerful man."

Gu Xiling blinked her eyes and complimented Gu Xirong, "Sister Rong, you are too kind. I can live a comfortable life thanks to Sister Rong's reminders. However, Sister Rong, please don't do things like burning high-yield seeds in the future."

"If you want to harm others and not benefit yourself, what's the point of doing anything? If I hadn't pleaded with the Marquis and my husband, the Marquis's Mansion would not have let it go. Sister Rong, you are such a smart person, you can't do stupid things. If Brother-in-law Xie is reckless, you have to persuade him more."

Gu Xirong smiled awkwardly, "Thank you for reminding me, sister. I have told you everything in the dream without hiding anything. I hurried back to the capital. It is New Year's Eve soon and the mansion has not made any preparations. I will not accompany you shopping and it is time to go back."

"Sister Rong, take care." Gu Xiling agreed, "Sister Rong likes to eat the snacks from this restaurant, so bring a few more boxes. As for the silver, I'll have someone deliver it when I get back home."

Gu Xirong smiled, "Then I won't be polite to Sister Ling."

After Gu Xirong left, Gu Xiling sat quietly in the teahouse for a stick of incense before going downstairs and leaving.

Xiuzhu muttered, "Madam, Madam Xie just asked the shopkeeper to prepare twenty boxes of snacks. One box costs ten taels of silver!"

When Gu Xiling heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched. She thought Gu Xirong had just taken two or three boxes of snacks, but she didn't expect her to be so cruel.

She still underestimated Gu Xirong.

Gu Xirong told Gu Xiling about the opportunity to make a great contribution. She was unwilling to accept the opportunity and deliberately asked for so many snacks.

After all, I'm back in the capital and the New Year is coming soon, so I have to visit my mother's family.

You don't need to buy anything else, just giving these expensive snacks as a gift is great.

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "How could she eat so much? She must have taken these snacks back to her parents' home."

Xiuzhu was stunned. Based on her understanding of her former master, Madam Xie was indeed capable of doing such a thing.

When paying the bill, Gu Xiling felt a pain in her heart. Three hundred and sixty taels of silver was simply a robbery.

The key is to steal her money.

In order to avoid losing money, Gu Xiling thought about how to use the information sent by Gu Xirong to gain greater benefits.

Money is secondary. The key is what can be brought to Changning Marquisate and Kangguo?

Gu Xiling had met Emperor Kangping and the Crown Prince several times and felt that they were both very suitable to be emperors.

At least he still cares about the people and is an emperor who pays attention to their suffering.

In this case, it is a good choice for Changning Marquisate to follow such an emperor.

Returned to Changning Marquis Mansion and had lunch.

Gu Xiling put five thousand taels of silver in a box and asked Nanny Gu and the guards to deliver it to the Xie family.

Gu Xirong brought some snacks to pay her respects to the Marquis of Jingyang's residence, had lunch with her mother and sister-in-law, and then said goodbye and left.

Less than half an incense stick's time after I got home, Nanny Gu came over with some silver.

Seeing the silver, Gu Xirong felt relieved. Although Gu Xiling sometimes spoke in a nasty way, she was never vague about giving money.

"Please, Madam Gu, go back and say thank you to Sister Ling for me." Gu Xirong thanked her and was very generous when she received the silver. She asked Xiuzhen to give Madam Gu two taels of silver as a reward.

"Thank you for the reward, Madam." Madam Gu agreed, "I will definitely convey Madam Xie's words."

Zhou Jin attended the 100-day banquet for his colleague's son today. After drinking, they chatted about everything under the sun.

Although Zhou Jin tried to drink as little as possible, there were many like-minded people around today, so it was inevitable that the atmosphere was a bit tense.

The tip of Zhou Jin's nose was a little red, as if it was cold or because he had drunk alcohol.

He said goodbye to his colleagues, returned home and went straight to Zizhu Garden.

Seeing Gu Xiling looking out the window in deep thought with a frown on her face, Zhou Jin's heart skipped a beat. "Madam, is it Madam Xie who brought bad news?"

Gu Xiling raised her head and looked at Zhou Jin. "Misfortunes often come with blessings, and blessings often come with misfortunes. Thinking about it this way, what Sister Rong told me may not be a bad thing."

Hearing this, Zhou Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "It cost a lot of money, didn't it?"

"Five thousand taels of silver!" Gu Xiling nodded, "And a promise to provide an opportunity for Xie Jin to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence."

Zhou Jin was surprised. "You agreed to such a huge sum of money and such a strong request. It shows that what Gu Xirong told you is not simple!"

Gu Xiling nodded and said, "Let's go and discuss this with our grandmother and mother, and then we can talk to our father who is far away in the northern border."
