Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted
Chapter 240: Ginger is old and spicy
During dinner, Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin started to have a quarrel again.
Zhou Jin snorted, "Everyone, get off and stay away."
"Humph!" Gu Xiling accused, "You also know you're wrong? You drank so much alcohol, you stink."
Zhou Jin retorted, "I just drank a little bit of wine, but I didn't do anything else."
"Did you just drink a little wine? Do you have the guts to tell me everything you just did?" Gu Xiling interrupted.
Zhou Jin looked around at the servants, "Everyone, go down and guard the yard."
When all the servants heard this, they lowered their heads, quickly retreated, and went to the yard to serve.
Anyway, whenever the Crown Prince and his wife quarreled, they would ask everyone to leave, and only the masters would remain in the room.
The servants were used to it.
However, everyone also knows that the prince always pretends to be rich and starts to please the prince's wife.
After everyone left, Song asked, "Did you two have a quarrel?"
The old lady looked suspicious, "Xi Ling, did your sister tell you something important again?"
Gu Xiling nodded, "Mother, we didn't quarrel, we just found an excuse to let the servants go out. Grandmother guessed right, Sister Rong told me another piece of news, which is of great importance..."
Gu Xiling explained the matter briefly. Her voice was not loud, but the content shocked several people.
"Oh my God, it turned out to be that person!" The old lady was startled and turned to look at Zhou Jin, "Send someone who is good at stalking to the temple where the Queen Mother worships Buddha to inquire."
The old lady was experienced, and she immediately realized that if Prince Yun wanted to accomplish anything, he would need the Queen Mother!
By keeping an eye on the Queen Mother, you can find Prince Yun's trace.
"Yes, grandma." Zhou Jin agreed.
The old lady reminded him again, "It is better not to find out than to risk exposure. Wait for your father's reply, and then decide whether to reveal it to Jin Linwei."
Zhou Jin was startled, thinking that his grandmother had considered everything. "Yes, grandmother. Although this matter is serious, it actually has little to do with our Changning Marquisate."
Song glared at Zhou Jin, "Not big enough yet? You left that crazy Princess Xueying behind, didn't you?"
Zhou Jin was startled and smiled awkwardly, "She is nothing to worry about. A grasshopper in autumn can't jump for a few days."
"We can't be careless." Song reminded, "That's the princess. If she wants to do something, she will find a way. Now there is also Prince Yun who faked his death and intends to rebel. Who knows what other tricks he has in his hands?"
The old lady agreed, "Jin'er, your mother is right. You still have to be careful. And Xi Ling too. Serving the country is your duty, but protecting yourself is even more important. The Changning Marquis's Mansion is small and can't stand the turmoil!"
Gu Xiling nodded, "Grandmother, Xiling knows. I live in seclusion and Princess Xueying is in Jiangnan. Even if I have an idea, I don't have the energy to do it."
Song sighed, "Honglianfang has committed a sin. Today, three more people have contracted the disease."
The old lady snorted, "It's what they deserve. These people don't do their job well, enjoy the family's wealth, but don't think about making progress. Now, they can save their lives, but they are useless."
Song was suspicious, "Mother, why do you think Prince Yun did this? Although there are many people who have contracted the disease, they were all taken outside the city by His Majesty to be treated, and the disease did not spread. They made such a big fuss, as if they were deliberately trying to anger the court and alert the enemy."
The old lady pondered, "Your suspicion is justified. Those unlearned people are infected with the disease, which cannot shake the court, but they are all from noble families and high-ranking officials. They will definitely attract the attention of the court to this matter. In this way, they can cover up their rebellious actions."
At this time, Zhou Jin thought of a possibility, "Grandmother, mother, did Prince Ning give father medicine when he was anxious to rebel? That medicine can control people. Then, can Prince Yun control these people by spreading the disease through Honglian Square?"
When these words came out, the other three people took a deep breath.
"Taking advantage of organ disease?" Gu Xiling blinked her eyes. She finally connected the whole thing.
Assuming that Prince Yun used his internal illness to control these people, it would be equivalent to controlling half of the court.
The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly and gently put down the chopsticks in her hand. "It's not impossible. Otherwise, I can't understand why Honglianfang did this just to divert attention."
Song was worried, "Some people have been cured through treatment and released. If someone contacts them and says there is a medicine that can make them recover, they will definitely rebel. After all, it is a great shame for men not to be humane and not be able to pass on their family line."
The old lady thought for a moment, "Jin'er, send someone to keep an eye on him too. By the way, I remember your good friend Wang Shiwen has recovered?"
Zhou Jin nodded, "Yes, and Yuan Zhen."
The old lady nodded and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on them."
Gu Xiling suggested, "My husband, send someone to keep an eye on them. Be careful. Those people from Honglianfang are missing. Your Majesty can't find any clues, so he might send someone to keep an eye on those who have recovered."
Zhou Jin said in a deep voice: "My wife is right. Should we investigate the matter of Prince Yun before telling father, or should we tell father about Gu Xirong's dream now?"
The old lady pondered for a moment, then thought, "Tell me the dream and our speculation. Write it in secret language."
"Yes, grandma, I'll go right away." Zhou Jin stood up and was about to go to the study.
"Hide it. It's time for dinner. We're busy eating." Song called Zhou Jin, "We don't need this much time for this."
Zhou Jin sat down again quickly. He ate lightly and finished it in just a few bites.
This matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed.
After Zhou Jin left, Song asked quietly, "How much money did you spend?"
Gu Xiling replied: "Five thousand taels of silver, plus a promise that the eunuch will find an opportunity for Xie Jin to redeem himself for his crime."
Hearing this, Song nodded, "Although it is dangerous to speak out such a secret matter, but Gu Xirong is wholeheartedly planning for Xie Jin."
The old lady shook her head. "In fact, it would be better if they didn't have the dream. At least they can be down-to-earth. Maybe it won't be difficult for Xie Jin to become a great general in the future."
"It's just that they are too eager to succeed, and they told such a secret thing to others. Although we won't tell anyone, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and it will get out sooner or later."
Song frowned, "Mother, we won't tell anyone. We can't make things difficult for Xiling."
The old lady raised her eyes, her eyes wise, "Of course we won't tell, but look at Xie Jin and Gu Xirong's anxious personalities, do you think they won't tell? Or in other words, won't they show it when they act?"
"What's more, when we can't help them, do you think they won't use these so-called dreams to cooperate with others? It's good to be able to predict in advance, but if you rely on it too much, it's actually not a good thing."
Gu Xiling agreed with that. "Grandmother is right. Now we should remain unchanged in the face of all changes and wait for my husband's investigation and the response from my father-in-law."
That night, several people received orders and left Changning Marquis Mansion. They would inevitably change course and move in another direction.
