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

Although the capital city seems to be prosperous on the surface, there are turbulent waves inside.

Yuan Zhen contacted Commander Xu of Jinlin Guard directly, so there was no need to trouble Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin was also happy to have some free time, but she was even more cautious when her father was not at home and her mother was pregnant.

If it were in the past, Zhou Jin would have been unable to sit still when faced with such an opportunity to make a contribution.

But this time, Zhou Jin not only managed to keep his composure, but was also able to sit back at home and coordinate the overall situation.

Zhou Jin received the letter from his father and only after deciphering it did he see the true content.

In the letter, Zhou Jin saw his father's repeated warnings, telling him that it would be better not to make any contribution than to get involved.

Now that Jin Linwei has intervened, Zhou Jin must be cautious and not act rashly.

If Marquis Changning were in the capital, he might try to find a way to profit from it, but he is now too busy to do both.

When Prince Ning rebelled, Marquis Changning was alert, but this time Prince Yun faked his death and Marquis Changning had no idea.

If you don't understand the unknown, you must never rush into it.

Who knows how many cards the extremely deep King Yun has left?

Especially those evil things done by Honglian Langjun of Honglianfang can be used by King Yun, and there must be a backup plan later.

Zhou Jin wrote it down and passed the contents of his secret investigation on via a secret letter.

On the surface, this letter is just an ordinary family letter, but the true content can only be seen after it is deciphered by Marquis Changning to prevent leaks.

This is the rule left by the old marquis.

Every time the old marquis went to war, he would leave a book for his wife and son at home, telling them how to decipher the code.

The book used each time is different, so the confidentiality work of Changning Marquis Mansion has always been done very well.

The way relatives interact with each other is different from that used by subordinates and secret guards.

It is precisely because of this caution that the Changning Marquis Mansion has remained standing.

Zhou Jin handed the letter to his men and then returned to his room.

Gu Xiling was holding her chin with her hand, holding a letter.

Zhou Jin came in, walked up to Gu Xiling, and asked softly, "Madam, why are you so silent in deep thought?"

Gu Xiling handed the letter sent by Manager Zhou to Zhou Jin, "Take a look."

Zhou Jin took it and looked at it, and was slightly stunned. "These bandits are quite trustworthy. I guess Madam Xie is on her way back."

Gu Xiling blinked and thought of Gu Xirong, who looked sweet on the outside but had a bitter heart. Just let Madam Xie come back like this?

Given Madam Xie's personality, she will definitely be restless and who knows what kind of trouble she will cause in the future.

"I hope so. He behaves well after he comes back. Otherwise, the Xie family will be in chaos again." Gu Xiling sighed. "After all, he owes so much money. I don't know when he can pay it back."

In fact, she didn't feel sorry for the money, she just felt sorry for herself in her previous life.

It's really hard.

Every time the family was doing better and had some money, this old Madam Xie, who couldn't hide her greed, would find ways to take it out and cause trouble.

Later, Xie Jin himself couldn't stand it anymore and gave the order himself, asking Madam Xie to behave herself.

However, he only appears to be honest on the surface, and he does a lot of disgusting things behind the scenes.

At that time, Gu Xiling felt sorry for Xie Jin who was fighting outside, it was very dangerous and desperate, so she tried her best not to tell Xie Jin about these things.

Now, Gu Xirong might not have thought of dealing with Old Madam Xie at the beginning, but Old Madam Xie made Gu Xirong lose her money time and time again.

Whenever Xie Jin was not around, Old Madam Xie would start playing tricks and taking advantage of her age.

Therefore, Gu Xiling deduced that Madam Xie would not arrive in the capital.

Because the coachman was killed by bandits, the little maid was also killed by the bandits.

Ten thousand taels of silver were only exchanged for Old Madam Xie.

When Aunt Zhang saw Madam Xie, who looked embarrassed, she said privately, "Madam, you have been in the bandit den for so long, and you have been a widow for so many years. You have a very good reputation. If you feel at ease and go down the mountain now, you will definitely be despised."

"Why don't you pretend to want to die, and I'll hold you back. We can pretend to do this, so you don't have to really die, and you can also save your reputation as a chaste woman."

Old Madam Xie was tired and hungry, and she was very concerned about her reputation. She thought that the Xie family looked up to her because she was a widow.

Now she has been in the bandit's den for so long, and although her son is married, she is forty years old.

Some people can still give birth to children at the age of 40.

It did affect her reputation, and in order to return to the capital with dignity, she really needed to try to commit suicide and pretend to act.

"Madam Zhang, you are right. You are the elder of the mansion. When I was trying to kill myself, you had to hold me back. Don't let me go."

Old Madam Xie feels that her life is good now and she doesn't want to die at all.

His son is now rising rapidly and has reached the fifth rank. In the future he will become a fourth, third, second, first, or even a super-rank general who will defend the country.

Just like the old Marquis Changning, who was named the Great General Guarding the Country.

Infinite glory, praised wherever you go.

Even if the Marquis of Changning is not serving in the army now, who in the army doesn't know about it?

When Aunt Zhang saw that Old Madam Xie had agreed, she quickly assured him, "Old Madam, don't worry. With my strong body, can I not pull you up?"

Madam Xie nodded. "Well, you are growing strong. Well, eat more recently so that you can have more strength and hold me."

And just like that, Mrs. Xie was fooled.

"I'm going to hit the tree, pull me back!" Old Madam Xie warned, and then she ran towards a big tree not far away, crying.

Aunt Zhang chased after him, "Old Madam, please don't be upset. Old Madam..."

Nanny Zhang controlled the speed and just when Madam Xie was about to hit the tree, she hugged Madam Xie around the waist.

Madam Xie covered her face and sobbed, "Let me go, let me die. I can't face the ancestors of the Xie family. It would be better to let me die and put an end to it all."

Nanny Zhang said quickly, "Madam, you have to cheer up! The general and the young mistress are waiting for you to come back. Madam is pregnant and can't come. If anything happens to you, I will be dead even if I go back!"

When Butler Xie saw this, his scalp tingled. What was the old lady doing?

If you want to commit suicide, you can do it when you are caught by the bandits, and you don't have to spend ten thousand taels of silver.

Now that I've rescued you, isn't it a little late for you to commit suicide again?

Manager Zhou from the Changning Marquis' Mansion didn't say much and just watched silently.

Steward Gu from the Jingyang Marquis's residence was about to step forward, but was stopped by Steward Zhou. "That's Old Madam Xie, we'd better not go. The other party is trying to commit suicide because their reputation is damaged. If we go over, it will embarrass them even more."

Manager Gu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that their mission was to rescue people from the bandit’s lair.

As for what happens next, it is the Xie family’s family affair and has nothing to do with them.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou, for the reminder." Manager Gu thanked him and quickly followed Manager Zhou and the escort down the mountain.

Butler Xie and Nanny Zhang finally brought Old Madam Xie down the mountain and took a carriage.

As the carriage was moving, Madam Xie wanted to jump out again, but was stopped by Nanny Zhang.

When we got to the inn, we hit our heads against the wall and jumped off the building...
