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

Xie Jin, who was originally angry, was actually shaken when he saw Gu Xirong's confident and firm tone. Although he found it absurd, he was actually shaken.

Because Gu Xirong’s reminder last time was so timely.

He rescued Li Guojiu at the critical moment, allowing him to escape punishment from His Majesty, but he was only fined and ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.

He was not even demoted, which shows how much help he provided to Li Guojiu.

If he had not had the help of Li Guojiu, in the absence of war, he would have needed to endure at least three years and resort to all kinds of intrigue before he could be promoted to the sixth rank General Pingnan.

"I will trust you just once, Gu, you better take care of yourself and don't talk nonsense."

Seeing that Xie Jin's tone had softened, Gu Xirong choked up with sobs and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, looking as lovable as a weak willow swaying in the wind.

"My husband, how can I say such things carelessly? If it wasn't for my husband, why would I bother?"

Xie Jin was a lustful person. The more he looked at a beautiful woman under the light, the more beautiful she became. What's more, Gu Xirong was already very beautiful.

At this moment, his face was full of sadness, his eyes were timid, and hesitant to speak, as if he had thousands of tender feelings but nowhere to express them.

Xie Jin pulled with his long arms, and Gu Xirong shyly fell into his arms.

"Please have mercy on me, my husband." She said coquettishly, numb and tempting.

"Madam is so beautiful!" Xie Jin carried her into the tent.

It seems that only in this way can he prove that he is a real man.

At this time, in the main courtyard of the Xie family.

When Mrs. Xie learned that her son had beaten Gu Xirong, she was in a good mood and ate half a bowl of rice more.

As soon as I put down my chopsticks, the servant came over to report.

Gu Xirong is very cunning, and she seduces her son to do whatever he wants, without taking care of her body!

A vixen will seduce men!

While cursing in her heart, she ordered the kitchen to stew some tonic for her son, and not to let his body be drained.

When Lai Fu returned to Changning Marquis’ Mansion, it was already late.

However, in the main courtyard, Marquis Changning and his wife, as well as Zhou Jin and Gu Xiling, did not go back.

As soon as Lai Fu entered the mansion, he was taken to the main courtyard to be questioned.

"My Lord, Madam, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince's Madam, when I returned the money to General Xie, he was shocked and looked very unhappy, as if he didn't know about Cheng Yi's matter."

Marquis Changning frowned and stroked his beard, "If it wasn't Xie Jin who did it, who could it be?"

Mrs. Song, the wife of the Marquis of Changning, pondered for a moment, "I have met Madam Xie a few times. She is a bit rigid and quite good at matters of the inner house. I have never heard of her interfering in official affairs."

Lai Fu's words were enough to make Gu Xiling certain that it was Gu Xirong who did it.

But Gu Xirong's cleverness backfired. She thought that just because she knew things from her previous life, she could just apply them mechanically and use them directly?

Little did they know that from the moment they were reborn, everything began to change!

Given Xie Jin's impulsive, rude and unruly personality, Gu Xirong was bound to be slapped in the face.

Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity for such a pretty and tender face.

While Gu Xiling was complaining in her heart, Zhou Jin, the son of the Marquis of Changning, said in a louder voice, "Father, mother, I think this is a trick of Uncle Li, and it is also a conspiracy to gain a good reputation."

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze was stunned, his eyes showing suspicion, "Jin'er, what do you mean?"

"Brother Yu and others wrote an edict to attack the traitor, and the target was Uncle Li. Uncle Li instructed Xie Jin to give Brother Yu a gift of Cheng Yi, so that the world would think that he had let bygones be bygones and was recruiting talented people for the court."

"Your Majesty, you are quite angry about Li Guojiu's behavior. Seeing that Li Guojiu not only did not persecute the upright officials who attacked him, but also gave him gifts, you must be relieved."

Zhou Ze, the Marquis of Changning, who originally couldn't figure it out, suddenly brightened up his eyes, smiled and nodded.

My son finally learned from his mistakes.

"Jin'er's idea is quite reasonable, otherwise it would not make sense. Tomorrow, let the guards inform Lord Yu and just say that Xie Jin has joined Uncle Li's school. With Lord Yu's talent, he will understand what he means."

Zhou Jin heard his father's praise, and the depression he had felt for the past few days gradually disappeared. "Thank you for your teachings, father."

Gu Xiling sat quietly, her back straight, her head slightly lowered, her eyes downcast as she listened, and she forced herself to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.

In fact, they were overthinking it!

Because Your Majesty has only one son, the Crown Prince, the stability of the Crown Prince's position largely depends on Uncle Li.

Just for this reason, Li Guojiu was so high and mighty that he didn't take Yu Chengzhi and others seriously at all. How could he give Cheng Yi as a gift?

Send him out of Beijing, out of sight, out of mind.

Wait until the storm passes before cleaning up.

I wonder if this father and son’s evaluation of Li Guojiu overestimates his broad-mindedness or underestimates his ruthlessness?

Compared with the intrigues in officialdom, Gu Xiling was curious about how Gu Xirong would deal with Xie Jin's questioning.

Marquis Changning nodded with satisfaction to Zhou Jin, and his eyes fell on his quiet and elegant daughter-in-law Gu Xiling.

"Jin'er, the fact that our Changning Marquisate and you were able to escape this disaster is all thanks to Xi Ling. You must treat her well."

Whether it was "kidnapping" Zhou Jin at the palace gate, or being thoughtful and considerate in giving Cheng Yi to Zhou Jin's colleagues and friends, it was enough to prove that Gu Xiling was extremely intelligent.

Zhou Jin was startled, and looked at Gu Xiling who raised her eyes. He bowed to Gu Xiling and said, "Thank you."

Gu Xiling stood up and returned the greeting, her expression calm, "You are welcome, my lord. This is Xiling's duty."

Such a Gu Xiling made Zhou Jin feel that the beauty was in the past, but her heart was very far away.

I can see the person, but I can’t feel his heart.

On the contrary, it was the words that Gu Xiling said to him in private that made him so angry that his forehead was smoking, his face was red, and his heartbeat quickened, that made him feel that was Gu Xiling's true nature.

Gu Xiling didn't care about the entanglement and regret in Zhou Jin's eyes.

If she knew, Gu Xiling would not change.

In front of your parents-in-law, being dignified and virtuous is the most important thing.

She wasn't crazy to confront Zhou Jin in front of her parents-in-law.

As the saying goes, the poorest is still a field, the worst is still a son.

No matter what, Zhou Jin is the son of the Marquis and his wife, the eldest son of the Marquis of Changning, and will inherit the family business and bring honor to the family in the future.

How can they allow a married woman to disrespect their beloved ones?

Song smiled and said, "Okay, it's getting late. You must be tired these past few days. Go back and rest early."

"Yes, mother, father." Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin bowed to their elders and then left the main courtyard one after another.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law getting better and better, Song was secretly delighted.

A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.

Maybe we can consummate our marriage tonight and have a grandson soon!

However, the reality was quite different from what the Song family expected.

Seeing that Gu Xiling was silent, Zhou Jin tried to find something to talk about to ease the awkward atmosphere, "Gu, why didn't you comment on what Xie Jin did just now?"

Gu Xiling tilted her head and raised the corner of her mouth coquettishly, "If I think it was Gu Xirong who did it, you will definitely think that I am making trouble out of nothing?"

"Gu! Don't talk nonsense!" As expected, Zhou Jin was angry. He felt that Gu Xiling was fussing about his past and always blamed Gu Xirong for everything.

Gu Xiling pursed her lips, frowned slightly and shook her head, looking like she thought Zhou Jin was being unreasonable, "I don't want to say it, you asked me."
