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

Gu Xiling spoke softly as she handed the dowry list that Xiuzhu had brought back to Aunt Qi.

"If Gu Xirong cries, mother will definitely give my dowry to Gu Xirong and write a new dowry list. I want you to use this one to replace the new dowry list written by mother."

Madam Qi was slightly startled, then she understood, "Second Miss is very smart."

"Go!" Gu Xiling nodded, gave Madam Qi two hundred taels of silver, put on a cloak, and hid in the night.

As soon as I returned to my residence, Gu Xirong came over with two maids.

"Sister, I know you are short of maids for your dowry, so I sent two here specially for you. When you arrive at the Changning Marquis's Mansion, you will be unfamiliar with the place, so it is better to use your own maids to feel more at ease."

When Gu Xiling saw it, she couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Xirong really hopes that she will live a miserable life!

One is Zhou Jin's favorite concubine Xiuzhu.

Another beautiful maid, Xiulan, lost her child, so she killed Gu Xirong's youngest son.

They are all ruthless people!

"Thank you, sister." Gu Xiling smiled, saving her from having to ask Madam Gu for it. She stretched out her hand, "Give it to me?"

Gu Xirong pretended to be confused even though she knew the truth. "I only have four maids around me. Can't you ask for them all?"

Gu Xiling chuckled, "I want their indentures! Since they are my maids, the indentures must be in my hands, otherwise I won't be able to use them with confidence."

Gu Xirong cursed Gu Xiling in her heart for being such a fool from the countryside. She actually knew all this. "Your sister is still young. Wouldn't it be better for you to let your mother take care of her?"

Gu Xiling raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing suspicion, "I think it's my sister who is obsessed with Changning Marquis's son Zhou Jin? She wants to control my maidservant to get information about the son. Does General Xie know about this?"

Gu Xirong smiled awkwardly, "Sister, don't talk nonsense. I just forgot. I'll have someone send their indentures over right away."

Gu Xiling nodded, "Thank you for your help."

Gu Xirong gave both indentures to Gu Xiling, and then waited to see Gu Xiling's "good show".

The day before the wedding, the dowry must be sent to the man's home.

Gu Xiling whispered in Xiuzhu's ear and gave her some instructions.

Xiuzhu was slightly startled, and looked at the Second Young Lady with a little more admiration, "I will definitely complete the Second Young Lady's orders."

"Haha, I have a lot of dowry, so I can give you more reward." Gu Xiling smiled sincerely. At least at this time, their interests were the same.

First you have to marry into the Changning Marquis’ Mansion and then gain a firm foothold.

The dowry tied with red silk was delivered to the Changning Marquis Mansion amid the sound of gongs and drums.

As for Gu Xirong's dowry, it can only be delivered to the Xie family at the auspicious time two hours later.

When she arrived at the Marquis Changning's Mansion, Xiuzhu immediately found the head nanny and counted the dowry and put it into the warehouse.

The maids and servant girls from both sides took out the dowry lists from the Ruyi carved mahogany box in front of each other and checked them before putting them into the warehouse.

The couple discovered that many of the large dowry items on the dowry list were not carried over.

The servants did not dare to make a decision and hurried to report to their master.

After hearing this, Changning Marquis' wife, Song, was slightly startled. "We must explain this matter clearly to Jingyang Marquis's Mansion. We, Changning Marquis's Mansion, cannot afford the stigma of embezzling the bride's dowry. Seal Zizhu Garden, count the dowry items on the dowry list, list the items that are not on the dowry list, and send them to Jingyang Marquis's Mansion."

"Yes, ma'am." Nanny Yuan agreed, being cautious and careful not to be careless.

Soon the list was counted and it was found that the actual dowry was 40% less than what was on the list.

Nanny Yuan cursed inwardly, thinking that the Jingyang Marquis's Mansion was really greedy, as the betrothal gift they gave was less than half of the Changning Marquis's Mansion's.

Xiuzhu did not go with them on the grounds that she had to guard her dowry. This was Gu Xiling's instruction to save her life.

When Nanny Yuan took the relatives of the Gu family who were delivering dowries to the Jingyang Marquis Mansion.

Madam Yuan presented the dowry list and the missing dowry list, "Madam Gu, did the servants make a mistake?"

After seeing this, Lady Gu of Jingyangbo was so embarrassed that she almost fainted. She gritted her teeth and said, "The servant must have been lazy and made a mistake. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam. Please wait a moment."

Mrs. Gu's forehead was covered with sweat and she couldn't stand up. She had to rely on her maid to help her as she rushed into Gu Xirong's yard.

Madam Gu was like an ant on a hot pot at this moment, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and find all the things on the list for me and send them to the Changning Marquis' Mansion."

"Yes, ma'am." The maids and old women also knew that Jingyang Marquis's mansion had made a fool of itself today, so they dared not breathe and just worked silently.

Gu Xirong was putting on makeup in front of the mirror in the room, practicing her best smile and most charming eyes, hoping that after marrying into the Xie family, she would be able to charm Xie Jin.

Hearing the noise outside, Gu Xirong looked through the hexagonal gauze window and immediately became anxious.

"Mother, this is my dowry, why are you taking it away?" Gu Xirong stopped the servants from taking the dowry. These were all very valuable, and some of the ancient books and famous paintings were even out of stock.

Mrs. Gu felt aggrieved and angry, and felt that all her dignity in this life was gone at this moment.

She was willing to risk offending the Marquis of Changning's Mansion in order to arrange a good marriage for Gu Xirong, but all her motherly love was trampled upon by Gu Xirong.

Being questioned by Gu Xirong again at this time, he became even more furious. He raised his hand and slapped Gu Xirong hard in the face.

"It's all your fault, you idiot. You didn't want to marry into the Changning Marquisate, but insisted on marrying into the impoverished Xie family. Your lowly fate is destined to be unpresentable, and naturally you are not worthy of these fine dowries. Find them all, take them away!"

Gu Xirong was shocked, eyes filled with resentment, and she lowered her head. She planned to make everyone kneel before her and look up to her in the future if she wanted to be successful.

Gu Xiling, who was outside, listened to Madam Gu's scolding through the wall, with mockery in her eyes. It seemed that her love for Gu Xirong was limited and could not match Madam Gu's dignity.

But all this has nothing to do with her anymore.

The Gu family was in chaos. They collected enough dowry on the dowry list and sent it over again.

Madam Gu wanted to investigate, but with the two young ladies of the Marquis of Jingyang getting married, there were so many things to deal with that she had no time and could only swallow her anger.

The next day, she wore a red wedding dress and a red veil, and played music and set off firecrackers along the way.

Gu Xiling was carried to the Changning Marquis Mansion, where she bowed to heaven and earth, then to her parents, and then the couple bowed to each other before being sent to the bridal chamber.

A life completely different from the previous life has begun!

She sat on the edge of the bed with a red veil on her head, her heart as calm as a lake in spring.

The sight in front of her eyes lit up, and the red veil was lifted up by the Ruyi scale in the groom's hand.

Gu Xiling lowered her head, took a deep breath, and then slowly raised her head.

Zhou Jin, who was originally beaming with joy, narrowed his eyes slightly after seeing Gu Xiling and took a step back. "Why...why is it you?"

Gu Xiling had anticipated Zhou Jin's reaction. She stood up and bowed slightly, neither anxious nor impatient, neither humble nor overbearing, "Gu Xiling, the legitimate daughter of the Jingyang Marquis's mansion, is polite!"

Nanny Yuan quickly drove out the bride and the other people. She stood in front of the Crown Prince's wife, worried that the Crown Prince would be angry with the new wife. "Cevil Prince, there are guests outside. The Marquis asked you to go out and entertain them!"

Zhou Jin has a face as white as jade, handsome features, a slender figure, and a hairpin with flowers on his head. He is worthy of being the third place winner selected by His Majesty.

But at this time Zhou Yu was so angry that his face turned red, and he was annoyed, "Gu Xiling, even if you snatched Xirong's marriage, I would not like you!"

After saying that, Zhou Jin flicked his long sleeves, turned around and left, leaving behind Nanny Yuan, whose forehead was covered with sweat and whose heart was pounding with fear.
