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

Gu Xiling was very alert and woke up when Zhou Jin entered the room.

She deliberately ignored Zhou Jin!

For a man who has other women in his heart, it is completely useless to flatter and fawn on him or be humble.

Rather than letting herself be wronged, Gu Xiling changed her strategy and ignored Zhou Jin.

With Zhou Jin's upbringing, he wouldn't hit her.

Gu Xiling is not afraid at all!

But she didn't expect Zhou Jin to be so unsportsmanlike. Instead of hitting her, he pinched her face!

Gu Xiling opened her eyes and pushed away Zhou Jin's hand that was pinching her face. "I have to offer tea to my parents-in-law tomorrow. Why don't you sleep, my Lord?"

Zhou Jin was stunned. Gu Xiling, who didn't know etiquette, actually refuted him confidently, "You only think about serving tea to your parents-in-law tomorrow. Don't you know how to serve your husband?"

Gu Xiling sat up, fixed her hair, and said slowly and clearly, "I was brought in by three matchmakers and six betrothals, and eight bearers in a sedan chair, as the new bride of the Marquis of Changning Mansion. It is my duty to serve tea to my parents-in-law."

"As for the prince, apart from the wedding ceremony, you and I have not yet tied the knot, drank the wedding wine, or slept together. What kind of husband is he? Why should I serve you?"

Bright eyes, white teeth, a cute look, and a serious tone.

She didn't want to spend her wedding night with a man who had other women in his heart. Even if they did, it would be because Zhou Jin had her in his heart.

The Prince of Changning, who has always been quick-witted and eloquent, got married for the first time, and it was also the first time that he encountered a bride who was so sharp-tongued and bold.

He was speechless and annoyed. "For my mother's sake, I respect you, but you don't know what's good for you! In that case, let's wait and see. I want to see what else you, Gu Xiling, can do besides this mouth."

After saying that, Zhou Jinjun, the son of the Marquis of Changning, had a dark face, pursed his lips slightly, snorted coldly, flicked his long sleeves, and left arrogantly.

"Prince, please take care. The nights are chilly in autumn, and the servants must serve you carefully." Gu Xiling instructed and watched Zhou Jin leave.

"Hmph!" Zhou Jin didn't even turn his head. Gu Xiling must have regretted it. He wouldn't stop unless she asked him several times.

But when he stepped out of Zizhu Courtyard, he didn't hear Gu Xiling's voice to keep him. He stomped his left foot twice and went to the study with anger.

Seeing this, Nanny Yuan was stunned. She had just taken the money from the Crown Prince's wife and whispered, "Crown Prince's wife, the Marquis's wife has just persuaded the Crown Prince to come back. Can't you give in and let the Crown Prince stay?"

Gu Xiling arranged the bedding, got back into bed, and sighed, "My mother-in-law has protected me. Xiling is grateful in her heart and will serve her parents-in-law well in the future."

"The prince is already resentful for not marrying his sweetheart, so why should I force him? The prince knows the good of Gu Xirong, but not my good. His heart and eyes are full of my bad. But I believe that there is a long way to go, and under the guidance of my mother-in-law, the prince will see my good side."

Nanny Yuan was startled. Since the Crown Prince's wife had a plan in mind, it would be useless for her to say more. "Then the Crown Prince's wife should go to bed early."

"Mammy, you should go to bed early." Gu Xiling covered her yawning mouth with her hand, adjusted herself to a comfortable position, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

Only by eating well, sleeping well and keeping healthy can you live longer.

In a deep mansion, only those who live long enough can achieve the final victory! Temporary gains and losses are nothing!

Nanny Yuan told the maids to serve well, and all the courtyards had been locked, so she could only report to the Madam early tomorrow morning.

The next morning, as soon as the locks of each courtyard were opened, Nanny Yuan hurried to the main courtyard and reported to Madam Song about the conversation between the new wife, the Crown Prince's wife, and the Crown Prince yesterday.

Song was slightly startled, then smiled, her eyes full of smiles, "Jin'er was born into a wealthy family, has a quick mind, and has passed the imperial examinations smoothly. It is inevitable that she is arrogant and spoiled."

"The first setback in his life might be an unhappy marriage. However, in my opinion, it's not a bad thing that Gu didn't go along with him! It just wanted to dampen Jin'er's enthusiasm."

"Remember, there is still a long time to come. As long as it does not damage the reputation of our Changning Marquis' Mansion, let the young couple handle the affairs of Zizhu Courtyard themselves. Unless it is a particularly important matter, you don't need to report these small matters to me."

"Yes, ma'am!" Nanny Yuan stepped back, but did not look down on Gu Xiling because she did not receive the prince's favor.

In the rear house, it is enough to be valued by the marquis's wife.

At this time, a tall, handsome man with a beautiful beard and some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes came out from behind the screen. This man was Zhou Ze, Marquis of Changning.

"Madam, you have unique insights. Your evaluation of Jin'er is just right. You should also hone Jin'er's mind. Qi's family governs the country and the world. If you can't even figure out the affairs of your own courtyard, it will be even more difficult for you to move forward in the officialdom."

Song chuckled, "Your Majesty is right."

Gu Xiling dressed up, got ready, and went to Magnolia Garden to serve tea to her parents-in-law.

Xiuzhu was anxious and kept looking around, "Second Miss, the prince is still in the study."

Gu Xiling continued to walk, but her pace slowed down. She turned to look at Xiuzhu and said, "I am already a wife of the Zhou family. You can call me the wife of the Crown Prince from now on. The Crown Prince didn't go, that's his business. I just need to do my job well."

"Yes!" Xiuzhu agreed, not daring to look directly into Gu Xiling's eyes, "Why don't you, Madam, give in to the prince? If you keep being awkward, what are you going to do in the Changning Marquis's Mansion in the future?"

Gu Xiling smiled, her eyes seemed to be able to see through Xiuzhu's heart, "Do you want to do it for me?"

"I...I dare not!" Xiuzhu knelt down hurriedly. She had taken great pains to come to the Changning Marquis' Mansion as a dowry maid, with the sole purpose of becoming Zhou Jin's concubine.

But she knew the rules. If she dared to climb into bed with her mistress before she was pregnant, she would end up in a miserable state. The wife of the marquis would kill her without the help of the prince's wife.

"Get up!" Gu Xiling lowered her voice, "Follow the rules, there will be no chaos. Whoever breaks my rules, I will cut off his path!"

After Gu Xiling finished speaking, she continued walking forward.

After Gu Xiling left, Xiuzhu finally got up from the ground with weak legs, becoming even more fearful.

When they arrived at Magnolia Garden, Mrs. Song, the wife of Marquis of Changning, and Marquis of Changning Zhou Ze had already taken their seats. Noticing that Zhou Jin had not arrived, Mrs. Song winked at Nanny Song beside her.

After a while, Prince Zhou Jin was brought over by Nanny Song.

Compared to the new bride Gu Xiling who was rosy, fair and tender with a good complexion, the complexion of Zhou Jin, the son of Marquis Changning, was not so good, with dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he had not slept well!

Seeing this contrast, Marquis Changning and his wife looked at each other, shook their heads and laughed.

It’s really heartbreaking!

Gu Xiling saw Zhou Jin coming over, and she knelt on the futon to offer tea to her parents-in-law, and received two heavy and decent gifts, "Thank you, father, mother."

Zhou Jin said nothing, still angry at this moment. When he saw that the tea ceremony was over, he said goodbye, "Dad, Mom, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Without waiting for his parents' response, Zhou Jin left quickly as if someone was chasing him.

Looking at Zhou Jin's hurried and flustered footsteps, Gu Xiling was not angry at all. Instead, the corners of her mouth curled up and her eyes showed a smile.

Seeing this, Zhou Ze, the Marquis of Changning, felt that Gu Xiling had the mentality of a child. "How can you laugh, kid? Aren't you afraid that Jin'er won't accompany you back home in three days?"
