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

Aunt Bai stared at the teacup, her eyes fixed.

After a long while, there was still no movement.

The maid raised her head slowly, without any humble expression on her face. She was not good-looking, but her eyes were sharp.

"Aunt Bai, please have some hot tea." The maid reminded again.

Aunt Bai's charming face showed a little more panic, and she said to the other servants around her: "Except for Xiao Cui, everyone else please leave. I'm tired."

"Yes, aunt." The servants responded and stepped back with their heads down.

At this time, only Aunt Bai and Xiao Cui were left in the room.

Aunt Bai took a few deep breaths, then stretched out her trembling hand and opened the lid of the teacup.

There was a small note inside, and a white porcelain bottle slightly larger than a thumb.

She opened the note and it read, "Give medicine to Marquis Changning."

Aunt Bai took a deep breath, lowered her voice, and stammered, "Xiao...Xiao Cui, what kind of medicine is this?"

The Marquis is not only her lover, but also her support.

If the Marquis died, even if the Marquis's wife didn't sell her, she would only end up dying of old age on the farm.

Xiao Cui narrowed her eyes, her face darkening, "Aunt Bai, if we want to kill Marquis Changning, there are many ways to make him die quietly."

"We went to so much trouble so that the Marquis of Changning could do something for us instead of just being a dumb corpse."

"Don't think that you can rest easy just because Marquis Changning took you in. You killed his own daughter before, and you crossed Marquis Changning's bottom line. He still has a grudge against you."

"Just relying on your beauty and previous affection, you may not be able to gain a foothold in Changning Marquis's Mansion. For example, the method you tried and tested today is of no use at all."

Aunt Bai's frightened and uneasy heart gradually calmed down after Xiao Cui's gentle explanation.

As long as the Marquis is not dead, everything else will be easy.

"Xiao Cui, then tell me what effect this medicine will have on the Marquis?"

Aunt Bai didn't dare to take any action without asking clearly.

Xiao Cui sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "It can make Changning Hou addicted. If he doesn't take the antidote every five days, he will feel pain and itching all over his body. Although he won't lose his life, it will make him feel so miserable that he wants to die."

"If you can give the Marquis of Changning an antidote like this every time, can you control him? The old lady of the Marquis of Changning is old and won't live long. No matter how big the Song family is, it's not as big as the Marquis. Isn't the entire Marquis of Changning's mansion yours?"

"As for the Crown Prince's wife Gu Xiling who embarrassed you today, she has not yet consummated her marriage with Crown Prince Zhou Jin and has no children. Such a person is even less of a concern. With such a benefit, aren't you tempted?"

Aunt Bai wrote them down one by one and considered them carefully.

Xiao Cui just analyzed her situation in Changning Marquis Mansion, which is indeed not good.

Relying solely on pampering is indeed unreliable.

She will eventually grow old and lose her beauty, so she must completely control the Marquis before he gets tired of her.

She can be invincible.

Aunt Bai took the small porcelain bottle and looked up at Xiao Cui, "Who are you?"

Xiao Cui's eyes flashed coldly, and she lowered her voice and scolded, "How dare you! Bai Youlan, don't forget your identity!"

"You only have the right to follow orders. You have no right to inquire about my identity and my master."

"otherwise……"

When Aunt Bai heard this, she begged for mercy, "Miss Xiao Cui, please don't be angry! I was the one who said too much, please forgive me!"

Xiao Cui restrained the coldness in her eyes and stopped over-stimulating or exploiting Aunt Bai.

"Mrs. Bai has always been smart, otherwise she wouldn't have such a high position in the Changning Marquis' Mansion."

"I hope you, a smart person, will do smart things. Don't act on your own. Being too smart may lead to mistakes!"

Aunt Bai smiled awkwardly, "I will find an opportunity as soon as possible and use it for the Marquis, so that I can serve Miss Xiao Cui in the future."

Xiao Cui nodded, restrained her sharpness, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, "Wait for good news!"

Xiao Cui went down with the teacup, looking no different from an ordinary maid.

Aunt Bai looked at the small porcelain bottle in her palm and murmured to herself, "My Lord, don't blame me! I was forced to do this!"

Aunt Bai thought that Marquis Changning would come to her place when he returned home in the evening.

But the facts were quite different from her guess. When Marquis Changning returned home, he went straight to the main courtyard.

Zhou Jin came back almost at the same time as Marquis Changning and was also in the main courtyard.

Gu Xiling came here early after receiving a report from Xiao Shunzi.

This was because her father-in-law had told her to come here, and she couldn't let him wait for her.

As soon as Marquis Changning came in, Song, Gu Xiling, and Zhou Jin all stood up and saluted.

"No gift!"

After the three of them exchanged greetings, they took their seats.

Zhou Jin did not wait for Marquis Changning to speak, and said in a deep voice: "Father, although Xiling was reckless today, she did nothing wrong. Please do not blame me for Xiling's sincerity."

When Gu Xiling heard Zhou Jin's words, she looked over and felt warm inside.

At this time, Zhou Jin chose to protect her.

Zhou Jin looked over and smiled slightly, a little flatteringly.

Gu Xiling wrinkled her nose slightly and pouted her lips, as if she didn't appreciate it.

Zhou Jin didn't care and smiled gently.

Seeing that Marquis Changning was silent, Song was unhappy and said sarcastically, "If you want to punish me, punish me. It would be best if you divorce me to make room for the person you like."

At this time, Song was so angry that she lost her mind and didn't care about what happened in front of her son and daughter-in-law.

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze knew Song's temper and that he would not tolerate any injustice in his eyes. Treating him with respect over the years was already the best situation.

"Madam, it's just a toy. It's not worth your anger. Xiao Shunzi reported to me this morning. I wasn't angry, and I certainly wouldn't scold Xiling."

"Besides, I have confined Bai to her house for a month, asking her to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. Don't disturb Madam's peace. It will be the same in the future as it was before!"

Song was stunned, half believing and half doubting.

At that time, Changning Hou Zhou Ze was over thirty years old, and he was infatuated with Bai Youlan, just like an old tree sprouting or a dead tree coming back to life in spring.

He was willing to disobey the old lady's orders and take Bai Youlan, who came from a brothel, into his mansion as a concubine.

It was because of Marquis Changning's favor that Bai Youlan's ambition grew and she even wanted to replace him.

"Since the Marquis said so, then I believe it. I hope Bai can turn over a new leaf and become a new person." Song said these polite words, unable to figure out the Marquis of Changning's true intentions.

Zhou Jin still remembers how obsessed his father was with Aunt Bai, as if he was under a spell.

He did a lot of ridiculous things for a woman.

He didn’t understand it before, but now that he has met Gu Xiling, he seems to understand a little bit.

Gu Xiling was full of suspicion. She did not see any love for the concubine in Marquis Changning's eyes, nor did she see any favoritism towards the concubine. Instead, there was a hint of indifference and disgust under his calm face.

Since you no longer like or love her, why do you want to bring Aunt Bai back even if it means causing unrest to the whole family?

Something's happening here!

It’s a big deal, a big deal concerning the Changning Marquis’ Mansion!

Gu Xiling couldn't guess that, as she had just arrived, she didn't have complete control over all aspects of the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

Investigating privately may not necessarily reveal the truth as quickly as possible!

But soon, Gu Xiling came up with a plan.

Gu Xirong lived in Changning Marquis Mansion for so long in her previous life. Even if she didn't know it at the time, she should have known something later.

Hey, my dear sister, I'm coming to find you!
