Gu Xirong was completely relieved when she heard Xie Jin's words.

Xie Jin did not doubt it, or rather, Xie Jin doubted it at the beginning, but Nanny Zhang's actions deceived everyone.

When Nanny Zhang came back and told her what had happened, Gu Xirong was greatly shocked.

I didn't expect that Nanny Zhang is such a talented and experienced person.

If she didn't know the truth, she would believe that Madam Xie really died for her loyalty and was not murdered.

Nanny Zhang is a good knife. If Gu Xirong keeps it, it will come in handy in the future.

Anyway, the lives of Nanny Zhang's family are in her hands, so Gu Xirong is not worried.

Gu Xirong has been very tired these days, feeling dizzy and as if she is about to faint.

Xiuzhen hurriedly supported him, "General, my wife is pregnant. She has been guarding the body these days and has damaged her health. The doctor said that if you don't take good care of yourself, you may...may not be able to keep the baby."

Gu Xirong scolded, "Shut up! Keeping vigil for my mother-in-law is what I, as a daughter-in-law, should do. Don't say I feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Even if I die, I want to die in the mourning hall."

Seeing this, Xie Jin said to Gu Xirong, "My dear, last time, mother blamed herself for hurting you and causing you to lose your child. Now that you are pregnant, her spirit in heaven would also hope that you will be well."

"I know your filial piety is not just for this moment. You should take good care of yourself and keep the baby in your belly, which is the greatest filial piety. Xiuzhen, help Madam back quickly."

"Husband? I..." Gu Xirong shook and fell on Xie Jin.

Xie Jin supported Gu Xirong and personally sent her back to her room. "My dear, please don't worry me. I already lost my mother, and I cannot live without you. Please take care of yourself, and the baby in your belly will be safe."

Gu Xirong covered her belly with both hands and nodded, "I will listen to my husband. I will definitely recite more sutras for my mother-in-law."

Xie Jin nodded, "Okay."

After instructing the maids and old women around him to take care of Gu Xirong, Xie Jin hurried to the front yard, knelt in the mourning shed, and kept vigil for his mother.

After Xie Jin left, Gu Xirong felt relaxed all over. She drank some bird's nest porridge and lay on the couch to rest.

Only when Xie Jin came over did he look weak and tired.

By being lazy like this, Gu Xirong avoided tiring her body and kept the baby in her belly.

Some of Xie Jin's former colleagues also came to pay their respects.

The Jingyang Marquis' Mansion and the Changning Marquis' Mansion also sent people to help. After all, they were all relatives.

The storytellers in the capital city got new scripts and described the old lady of the Xie family who died for her chastity as a righteous and chaste heroine.

He praised Mrs. Xie for paying a large sum of money to redeem her mother-in-law.

The news of the death of the old lady of the Xie family had indeed been circulating in the capital for some time.

After seven days of hard work, the body was finally buried.

Even a man like Xie Jin couldn't bear it. Although his previous injuries had healed, he still needed to rest.

Xie Jin was sick from fatigue and was resting in bed.

The doctor prescribed some medicine for Xie Jin and told him to take it well.

During the one-year mourning period, one cannot eat meat.

In order to nourish Xie Jin and herself, Gu Xirong asked the kitchen to cook porridge using chicken soup and vegetables.

This is vegetable porridge, not chicken soup porridge.

Fortunately, I can still eat eggs and drink milk to supplement my nutrition.

After taking a break, Xie Jin wrote a letter himself and asked Butler Xie to deliver it personally.

Xie Jin and Gu Xirong are in mourning so it is inconvenient for us to visit, so I can only express my gratitude through this.

Not only that, now everyone in the capital knew about his mother's chastity, and Xie Jin didn't want to stay at home alone in mourning.

"My wife, I want to go to the ancestral tomb of the Xie family, build a hut and observe mourning. What do you think?" Xie Jin came up with an idea. It was a waste of time to just wait at home. He wanted to create an image of filial piety.

Gu Xirong was startled, then she understood what Xie Jin meant, "My husband is a filial son, and he can't let go of his mother. He built a hut to observe mourning, which can indeed show his filial piety. But can my husband's body bear it?"

Anyway, she is pregnant, so she doesn't need to go out. She can just enjoy delicious food and drinks at home.

As for Xie Jin going to observe mourning, Gu Xirong was even less worried.

Since Xie Jin wanted to create an image of a filial son, he would naturally not get involved with women while in mourning.

As long as Xie Jin's body can bear it, Gu Xirong would be happy to see it happen.

Xie Jin nodded, "I can bear it. I'll stay in a hut to observe mourning during the day, and go back to the farm to rest at night. It's quiet there, and I can read more books."

Gu Xirong agreed, of course, and at the same time, she also reminded Xie Jin, "Husband, then you go. Since you want to be known as a filial son, husband, then you must not be disrespectful outside, otherwise it is better not to do it."

Xie Jin certainly understood Gu Xirong's worries, "Don't worry, my lady, I, Xie Jin, only have you in my heart."

Gu Xirong was so moved that her eyes turned red. "My husband, you are so kind. Being able to marry you means that no matter how hard or tired I am, I won't feel any pain or tiredness."

Xie Jin enjoyed Gu Xirong's love and also felt the benefits of marrying into a noble family.

Otherwise, if his mother encountered such a thing and he was not at home, it would be impossible for the women in the family to handle it so decently.

No matter what, Xie Jin never treated Gu Xirong unfairly.

Gu Xirong asked housekeeper Xie to build a hut in front of the old lady's tomb, and the nanny beside her packed clothes for Xie Jin.

Three days later, Xie Jin took his servant Xie An and two maids to the Xie family's ancestral tomb.

Not far from my parents' grave, a shed was built with tables and chairs, as well as pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, and books.

Xie Jin was observing mourning here.

When the direct descendants of the Xie family learned about Xie Jin's behavior, they also agreed with it, proving that their sons were filial. They asked someone to prepare a small courtyard in the ancestral home for Xie Jin to rest at night.

When these things reached the Changning Marquis Mansion, Gu Xiling snorted and the corners of her mouth curled up.

He is still a good actor as always, and now with the addition of Gu Xirong, the two of them are even better actors.

However, Gu Xiling didn't have time to care about these things now, because in a blink of an eye, it was Xiulan's due date.

Xiulan lives a life of luxury in the Changning Marquis' Mansion, and is taken care of personally by Nanny Yuan.

Not only that, the Changning Marquis Mansion specially invited someone who could speak the Beirong language to teach Xiulan the Beirong language.

Through her correspondence with Lai Fu, Xiulan realized that Lai Fu was now living a completely different life.

Lai Fu will also stay in Beirong in the future, so she will have to go there too.

As the baby in her belly grows bigger, Xiulan also matures. If she can't take the initiative, the baby in her belly will also be passive.

Therefore, Xiulan has become very strong and endures her studies.

Nanny Yuan saw it all, kept it in mind, and felt sorry for Xiulan, but she knew that this was something Xiulan had to go through.

If you are lazy now, you may suffer in the future.

Therefore, Nanny Yuan took care of Xiulan in every possible way in life.

Sometimes, Gu Xiling would come over to walk with Xiulan and talk.

The Changning Marquis' Mansion had invited a midwife and a doctor to stay in the mansion early on, because there were two pregnant women in the mansion, who became pregnant one after the other, not long after each other.

Gu Xiling was looking at the account book when she heard the maid beside Xiulan running over, "Madam, Madam Xiulan has started the movement."
