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

Zhou Jin frowned, looking unhappy, "Grandma, I want to go back to Beijing and ask Xie Jin in person what he wants to do?"

The old lady thought for a moment and waved her hand, "It's a small matter, you go there in person, don't make a fuss, after all, the two families are still relatives."

"But we can't just let this matter go! Lai Fu, send Manager Xu and Wang Mazi to Xie's house and ask Xie Jin what this means."

"Yes, ma'am." Lai Fu agreed.

The next morning, Lai Fu returned to the city again.

Lai Fu returned Manager Xu and Wang Mazi in front of Xie Jin, and said, "General Xie, Madam Xie's servants destroyed the foreign crops that I tried to plant in Changning Marquis Mansion. My master doesn't understand what the Xie family meant by this."

Xie Jin knew Manager Xu, who was Gu Xirong's roommate.

If this matter was not ordered by him, then it was ordered by Gu Xirong.

The key was caught by someone.

Xie Jin cupped his hands, "I don't know the inside story, there may be a misunderstanding. Once I find out the truth, I will come to your house to explain."

Lai Fu bowed and saluted, "Thank you, General."

Xie Jin watched Lai Fu leave, had Wang Mazi locked up, and brought Manager Xu in.

Xie Jin came to Gu Xirong's yard with a gloomy face.

Manager Xu was dejected, knowing that he had no way to escape this time.

Gu Xirong was playing with the maid, and when she saw Xie Jin coming back, she hurried over to greet him, "Husband, you're back..."

When she saw the embarrassed Manager Xu behind Xie Jin, she was slightly stunned, "Manager Xu, why are you so embarrassed?"

Manager Xu shrank his head and didn't dare to look up.

Xie Jin frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Did you ask Manager Xu to send people to destroy the foreign seeds that were being planted in the Changning Marquis's Mansion?"

Gu Xirong had guessed from Manager Xu's embarrassed look that the truth had been revealed.

Manager Xu kept his head down and didn't dare to look up, which showed that he had already confessed.

Gu Xirong wanted to quibble, but it was no use.

"Alas, my husband, you don't know that Sister Xiling has always been jealous of me. It's the same in the boudoir, because I have occupied her status since I was a child, and she regards me as a thorn in her side."

"But I always treated her as my sister, hoping that we could live in harmony. In fact, it was just wishful thinking on my part. The high-yield foreign seeds clearly belonged to me, but were snatched away by my sister. I couldn't accept that."

Xie Jin was certainly unwilling to accept this, but since things had come to this point, he could only give up.

Now, I've been caught while causing trouble. How embarrassing.

But there was one thing that made Xie Jin very happy.

He was now certain that Gu Xirong had no romantic feelings for Zhou Jin, and even if she did, it would not destroy the foreign seeds that could bring great fame to the Changning Marquisate.

"Xirong, don't act rashly in the future. Now that we've been caught by the Changning Marquis' Mansion, how should we respond?"

"We are still young and cannot make enemies everywhere. Xirong, we must be more cautious in the future."

Gu Xirong saw that Xie Jin looked unhappy, but she didn't get angry with her.

Unlike the gift he gave to Yu Chengzhi before, Xie Jin directly slapped her.

Gu Xirong felt the respect from Xie Jin, which made her feel proud.

She can "foresee" many major events in the future, and Xie Jin will only become more and more dependent on her and cannot do without her.

"Yes, husband, it's all my fault for being too impulsive. I will be more cautious in the future." Gu Xirong's eyes were red, and she looked timid and weak.

Such a Gu Xirong can indeed arouse Xie Jin's manly mentality and make him feel that he can do anything.

Xie Jin thought for a moment, "It's good that you admit your mistake. When we have a day off, I will bring you to the Changning Marquis' Mansion to apologize in person."

"When the time comes, I may have to wrong you. But I'll have to change the story. You can't say that your sister got the upper hand. Just say that these things will bring trouble to the Changning Marquis's Mansion, so this is the worst option."

Gu Xirong was very unhappy when she heard Xie Jin asked her to apologize, but she felt warmed when she thought of the reasons Xie Jin gave.

"I'll listen to my husband." Gu Xirong agreed. Now that she had snatched Xie Jin away, she also wanted to show off in front of Gu Xiling.

When Gu Xirong thought of Gu Xiling's regret, envy and jealousy, she felt extremely envious.

Xie Jin was relieved to see that Gu Xirong was as docile as ever.

I'm really afraid that Gu Xirong will become arrogant and willful because of her favor.

Gu Xirong wanted her husband to be famous and powerful, while Xie Jin thought about the "destiny" in Gu Xirong's dream.

The goals of two people, put together, further magnified their ambitions.

At this time, Gu Xiling was thinking about how to trip up Gu Xirong, but she couldn't find a good solution for a while.

Until Manager Liu came to the village to report on the various information he had collected recently.

Finally, Gu Xiling found a good opportunity!

Manager Liu said that the Xie family recently sent people to other cities to purchase large quantities of medicinal materials for treating colds, heat strokes and diarrhea.

Gu Xiling's eyes lit up, and she guessed the Xie family's purpose.

Gu Xirong must have told Xie Jin that there was too much rain this summer, causing floods and that the prices of medicinal materials in the capital and its surrounding areas had risen sharply.

They want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

I have to say, Gu Xirong and Xie Jin actually want to make such money, they must be crazy, right?

Although there has been a lot of rain this year, it is not enough to cause major floods.

The wind this year was strong, it was a tornado, covering only a few villages, not a large area.

The flooding is caused by the blockage of the river.

It's hot and there are many mosquitoes biting everywhere. Many people suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, accompanied by high fever.

Gu Xiling is unwilling to do anything that harms others and does not benefit herself.

But this matter can benefit oneself by harming others, especially since it can prevent Gu Xirong from making money, so Gu Xiling is willing to do it.

Gu Xiling asked someone to go back to Jingyang Marquis's Mansion to borrow some books recording the rivers in the capital.

Jingyang Bo was not a good official, but he liked to make friends with scholars and record the customs and culture of Kangguo.

Among them, the depth and height of the riverbed in the capital city are recorded every year.

Apart from accompanying the old lady for walks and meals, Gu Xiling locked herself in the room and read books at other times.

These days, Zhou Jin went to the fields alone to record the growth of wheat.

Without that pretty figure and the voice of sincere praise, Zhou Jin always felt that something was missing.

Zhou Jin finally couldn't help asking, "Laifu, what has the Crown Prince's wife been busy with recently?"

Lai Fu lowered his head and looked submissive, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Haha, the prince couldn’t help it anymore!

Lai Fu smiled and said, "Three days ago, the wife of the prince asked the nanny to go back to Jingyang Bo's mansion to borrow some books. After getting the books, Madam Zi began to study them carefully."

"Oh? Do you know what book it is?" Zhou Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was secretly delighted.

He was a studious person, and when he heard that Gu Xiling was studying, he thought that Gu Xiling was so studious because of him.

Lai Fu replied: "Books about rivers."

"Do you know why the Crown Prince's wife wants to read these books?" Zhou Jin didn't understand and looked puzzled.

Gu Xiling is so studious, isn't it just to increase her knowledge by discussing poetry and songs with him and to be his beautiful wife?

Lai Fu shook his head, "I don't know either!"

Zhou Jin's heart was like a cat scratching, and he became more and more curious. He glanced at Lai Fu and said, "Go and find out."

Lai Fu smiled brightly when he heard this, "Yes, Prince. I will go and ask right away."

Now I can go to see Sister Xiulan openly.

Zhou Jin looked at Lai Fu running happily back to the manor with envy in his eyes.

But he was more curious about whether Gu Xiling had such a strange hobby or had other purposes?
