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

Zhou Jin sat beside Gu Xiling's bed. "When I'm here, I wake up at night, but I don't have nightmares. But when I go to rest somewhere else, I have nightmares at night."

"What's ridiculous is that I dreamed that I married Gu Xirong instead of you. Not only was my life a mess, but the Changning Marquisate was also implicated in the rebellion of Prince Ning and Prince Yun, and couldn't clear itself from the relationship. I was stripped of my title, and my career was not going well."

"This kind of dream is really scary. I don't want to continue to have this dream, but the key is that I dream about it frequently. Sometimes it's just a fragment, sometimes it lasts for a whole night."

Hearing this, Gu Xiling was stunned and held Zhou Jin's hand, "You...are you..."

Zhou Jin held Gu Xiling's hand and said, "Anyway, those dreams were so real and scary. I would rather be disturbed by Yuan Jie'er than sleep alone. Madam, please don't chase me away."

Zhou Jin, who was always calm and composed outside, actually acted like a spoiled child with Gu Xiling at this moment.

Gu Xiling heard this and chuckled, "Since you don't mind Yuan Jie'er nagging you, and you don't mind my physical discomfort during confinement, then you can stay."

Zhou Jin nodded and smiled, "I don't mind, you are the most important people, I don't mind. Besides, you live in the inner room and I live in the outer room."

Because Zhou Jin was there, the wet nurse lived next door.

When the child wakes up and is hungry, he calls the wet nurse over to feed.

When the child urinated, the maids and servants would fetch water to clean him and change his diaper.

In short, apart from being woken up, Zhou Jin didn't actually have to do anything himself.

In this way, Zhou Jin stayed in the room as he wished.

Because Zhou Jin accompanied Gu Xiling and Yuan Jie'er at night, he increasingly understood how difficult it was to be a mother, and also understood the suffering his wife had to endure in giving birth to a child.

Zhou Jin often said, "Thank you for your hard work, my lady," which made Gu Xiling quite annoyed.

"Since you know that being a mother is hard, you now not only have a wife, but also a mother and a grandmother. They all went through what I am going through now. Shouldn't you write a letter to thank them more?"

Zhou Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this, "My wife is right. But the snow is getting thicker and thicker now, I don't know when it can be delivered."

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Then let's wait until the weather warms up before sending the letter."

Zhou Jin waved his hand and said, "When delivering the official documents, I asked someone to deliver them together. Anyway, it doesn't take up much space. It's just a letter."

"Husband, be sure to clear the snow in time, especially on the house." Gu Xiling reminded. She knew there would be a heavy snowstorm here this year.

In the past, because there was no early warning, many ordinary people’s houses collapsed.

If the snow is cleared in time, it might be better.

Ordinary people wanted to go out too, but they were too cold. They dared not go out and hid in their houses.

Because many people think that if they go out, they will freeze to death, so if they hide in the house, it will be warm and they will not freeze to death and the house will not collapse.

Because he had "reconciled" with General Wu, Zhou Jin arranged for Xie Jin to allocate 3,000 people to clear the snow and connect the villages.

But these people were far from enough, so Xie Jin suggested, "Brother-in-law, we don't need to cultivate land or build water conservancy projects, and we still have to support those people who are in labor camps. I want them to come out and sweep the snow and help the people clean their houses."

Although it is very cold, most of these people are young and strong. After eating well and dressing warmly, they will not freeze to death.

When Wang Shiwen heard this, he immediately retorted, "General Xie, this is inappropriate. What if these people escape? What if they deliberately hurt the people?"

Yuan Zhen thought for a moment, "When we were building the water conservancy project before, after we dealt with Lord Tang, they were quite honest and didn't run away or cause trouble."

Wang Shiwen shook his head. "That's different. The snow is so thick right now, and we have so few soldiers. If they find a chance to escape, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Also, if the common people are hurt, they will feel that we are condoning the bandits to do evil again. I don't agree to release these people."

Xie Jin frowned, "Lord Wang, your original intention was good. You didn't want any trouble to happen for the sake of stability. But the snow is too heavy now. If it is not dealt with in time, many people will be killed or injured in the future."

"Especially for those who only have the elderly, the weak, women and children at home. They don't have the ability to clear the snow, and the only thing waiting for them is freezing to death. As for the escape you mentioned, most people here can regain their freedom after working for two or three years."

"They know that being a bandit has no future. Now that they have a chance to turn over a new leaf, they probably won't cause trouble. Finally, many of these people are from Qingshui County, and they may even be the only male in their family."

"If they escape, even if they succeed, they will never be able to come back, hiding from place to place, and their families will also be affected. If they fail to escape, they will die. These people are not stupid, so brother-in-law, I think we should let these people do disaster relief."

Wang Shiwen didn't want to take responsibility, "General Xie, you have so much, do you dare to sign a military order? If something goes wrong, can you take full responsibility?"

"You..." Xie Jin was angry. Wang Shiwen always didn't want to take responsibility and pushed it to others. When there was credit, he would take it for himself.

Seeing this, Wang Shiwen hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xie, don't be angry. I am also preparing for a rainy day and cannot take it lightly."

Yuan Zhen looked at Wang Shiwen, then at Xie Jin, and finally at Zhou Jin, "Brother Zhou, how do you decide?"

Zhou Jin looked up at the heavy snow outside, which soon formed a thick layer on the ground.

"I want to not only help these people fight the disaster, but also let these people who have families in labor camps go home without shackles."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, "Your Excellency, you can't do that!"

Wang Shiwen said hurriedly: "Once these people leave, and they are not wearing shackles, they will escape. Where can we chase them? What if they do evil again, such as murder and arson? What should we do?"

"In short, I don't believe these people can change for the better. Bad people are bad people, and they will always be bad people. Brother Zhou, if you insist on doing it, then write a guarantee that if something goes wrong, it's your fault alone, and it has nothing to do with us. Otherwise, Wang will have to report it to the court."

Zhou Jin looked at the other three people, "Do you all think so?"

Xie Jin hesitated, "It's too risky to send him home without shackles."

Yuan Zhen hesitated for a moment, then thought of what his father and second brother had said, "Brother Zhou, I agree."

"Yuan Zhen, are you joining in the fun?" Wang Shiwen glared at him.

Yuan Zhen pulled Wang Shiwen to the door and said, "Look at the heavy snow outside. It's already half a foot thick in just a short while. If it can be two feet thick in one day, without men, the old, weak, women and children will not be able to survive."

"Instead of this, it is better to mobilize more people to help with the disaster relief. Some people want to escape, but I believe there are more people willing to stay and protect their families."

Zhou Jin heard this and agreed with it. "That's right! I'll write the guarantee. If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility."

Xie Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Count me in as a part."

Yuan Zhen nodded, "Count me in, too!"

"You...you are all crazy, crazy!" Wang Shiwen shouted, his face flushed.
