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

Gu Xiling's powerful words shocked Song and made her curious. "Xiling, what's your trick?"

Gu Xiling smiled secretly, leaned close to her mother-in-law, and lowered her voice, "In fact, the method is very simple, give someone a taste of their own medicine."

"Doesn't Aunt Bai like to complain? She can magnify even the smallest things, and she will cry and complain to the father-in-law."

"Just because she cries, your father-in-law thinks she is being bullied. Over time, this affects your impression of you, and he is bound to be biased in his dealings with you."

Song shook her head when she heard this. "Let me learn Bai Youlan's behavior. I would rather continue to be complained by her and be misunderstood by the Marquis."

Seeing her mother-in-law say this, Gu Xiling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mother, of course you can't do that, but I can! If I get naughty, I'll be annoying myself, and I'll be the reincarnation of a nagging spirit."

Song pursed her lips, shook her head and laughed, "What if it affects your reputation?"

Gu Xiling raised her eyebrows and smiled mysteriously, "Mother, there is a way to deal with people in this world called 'for your own good'. We have never made things difficult for Aunt Bai, it's all for her own good!"

Song suddenly realized and reached out to tap Gu Xiling's forehead again, "Naughty! But it seems good, I'll learn from you too."

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, but if there's anything wrong with Xiling, please correct me."

"Just do it boldly. I know you know what you are doing." Song spoke highly of Gu Xiling and gave her daughter-in-law some authority.

Gu Xiling was excited and started to "fight".

The servant sent by Gu Xiling rode at full speed without stopping for a moment and rushed straight to the Ministry of Rites.

Marquis of Changning Zhou Ze was the Minister of Rites, a powerful official of the third rank.

Under the Minister of Rites, there are three Vice Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel.

Changning Hou Zhou Ze was mainly responsible for diplomatic etiquette and managing affairs related to Kangguo and foreign countries.

At this time, he was reading the document from the Southern Yue Kingdom requesting to marry Princess Kangguo.

Marquis of Changning Zhou Ze just glanced at it and closed the letter.

This will never work.

Your Majesty has only one son, the Crown Prince, and not even a daughter.

If a marriage is to be arranged, the only option is to choose a daughter from the prince's family who has settled in the vassal state.

By then, it will not be your Majesty's power that will grow stronger, but the power of the vassal kings.

Marquis Changning Zhou Ze would never offend His Majesty over these matters.

Just as he was about to look at the next memorial, he heard his long-time attendant Lai Yun coming in hurriedly.

"My lord, the Crown Prince's wife sent the servant Xiao Shunzi to ask for a meeting." Lai Yun asked a few questions and felt something was wrong.

"Gu?" Zhou Ze, the Marquis of Changning, was stunned. Why did his daughter-in-law come to him, her father-in-law? If there was anything, couldn't she wait until he returned home to talk about it?

But since he was here, Changning Hou Zhou Ze let Xiao Shunzi in.

"Why did the Crown Prince's wife ask you to come here?" Zhou Ze, the Marquis of Changning, asked directly when he saw someone coming in.

Xiao Shunzi was a servant that Gu Xiling brought from the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion.

Not only is he smart, but he is also an orphan with no ties.

The indenture is in Gu Xiling's hands, so I will be loyal to her.

He had just witnessed the entire process of the Crown Prince's wife beating up Aunt Bai, and along the way, he had also thought of an excuse.

"My Lord, after Aunt Bai returned home, she knelt at the gate of the main courtyard for a long time and could not get up."

"The wife of the Crown Prince went to pay respects to the Marquis' wife, and she happened to meet Aunt Bai who kept crying and wanted to confess her guilt."

"The Crown Prince's wife was kind enough to comfort Aunt Bai, saying that the Marquis's wife was magnanimous and allowed Aunt Bai to go back to the courtyard to rest."

"But for some reason Aunt Bai is still crying. Not only that, she even kneels down and kowtows to the Crown Prince's wife, asking her to forgive her."

"The wife of the prince was panicked, thinking that Aunt Bai was ill, so she called a doctor for Aunt Bai and sent her back to the courtyard."

"The Crown Prince's wife doesn't know whether this is right or wrong, so she specifically ordered me to come and report to the Marquis. If I am wrong, please punish me, the Marquis."

After Xiao Shunzi finished speaking, Changning Hou Zhou Ze's ears suddenly felt hot and his face turned slightly red.

He concealed his embarrassment and guilty conscience by stroking his beautiful beard.

He was a smart man and could guess what had just happened.

But there is a hidden secret in this that I cannot tell anyone else!

Even his first wife, Song, would not be told by Changning Marquis Zhou Ze.

"Gu is new here, so don't blame those who don't know! Bai disturbed Madam's peace and quiet, so she has to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. She is not allowed to leave her orchid garden without being summoned."

When Xiao Shunzi heard the Marquis say this, he felt relieved.

"Your Excellency is wise. I will go back and report to the Crown Prince's wife. If Your Excellency has no other instructions, I will take my leave!"

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze waved his hand and then quickly spoke, "When you go back, tell Gu to come to the main courtyard for dinner in the evening."

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Xiao Shunzi agreed and stepped back gently.

When Xiao Shunzi left, there was no one else at the door, so Lai Yun walked to Marquis Changning.

"My Lord, nothing can happen to Aunt Bai!"

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze nodded, "But Bai is still the same as before, and the means of causing trouble for Madam have not changed."

When Lai Yun heard this, he said with a bitter face: "Although this method is old, it is useful!"

In the past, the Marquis always fell for this.

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze smiled awkwardly and tapped the table. "Keep your mouth shut when you get back. Don't talk nonsense or leak a word."

"If Madam, the Crown Prince, or the Crown Prince's wife ask, answer as I tell you."

"Yes, my lord!" Lai Yun responded respectfully.

Xiao Shunzi returned to Changning Marquis Mansion and reported to Gu Xiling.

Gu Xiling listened carefully and thought for a moment, "Is the Marquis angry?"

Xiao Shunzi replied: "I'm not angry, but a little embarrassed."

Gu Xiling nodded, feeling relieved, "Xiao Shunzi, thank you for your hard work! Xiulan, take a look!"

"Thank you, Madam Prince!" Xiao Shunzi took the reward of one or two taels of silver and left happily.

Gu Xiling didn't even read the storybooks at this point, they were all the same and not interesting to read.

The second volume of the book "Spring Breeze", in which a woman is surrounded by handsome men, has not yet been published.

The author named Yunshan has not been identified.

Half of Gu Xiling's attention was on Gu Xirong, and the other half was on Aunt Bai.

As for Zhou Jin, if he edited an agricultural book, he could still cause trouble.

Gu Xiling could only say that she couldn't carry him.

She no longer thought about being a good wife to her husband, but considered divorce, not wanting to clean up the mess for her husband again and again.

Aunt Bai was imprisoned in Lanyuan. She could neither go out nor come in, which was equivalent to being under house arrest.

The person she sent over was sent away by Lai Yun, who was by the Marquis's side, before he even saw the Marquis.

Aunt Bai frowned. She had failed today and had not been able to anger the Song family.

The Marquis's attitude also made her unpredictable.

When Aunt Bai thought of the barbarian-like Crown Prince's wife, Gu Xiling, she became so angry that her face turned pale.

At this moment, a maidservant with an unremarkable appearance came in with tea, "Aunt Bai, please have some hot tea."

When Aunt Bai, who was originally immersed in her own thoughts, heard this, she shuddered all over, her pupils shrank slightly, and her gaze fell on the rain-soaked sky-blue teacup on the table.
