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

Gu Xiling was bright and generous, with bright eyes and white teeth. When she heard the question from Marquis Changning, she smiled sweetly, "Father, you and mother have always behaved properly. The Marquis Changning's Mansion is well-known, and the prince is well-mannered and polite. He will definitely accompany Xiling back to Marquis Jingyang's Mansion."

When Changning Marquis' wife Song heard what Gu Xiling said, she not only did not smile, but her face became serious. "But you did not show any sign of giving in just now. Jin'er is resentful. How can you let him go back with you? Do you want me and my father-in-law to tie him up?"

Song couldn't think of any good idea that Gu Xiling could come up with, and would like to hear more about it.

Marquis Changning Zhou Ze deliberately delayed his departure by drinking tea, as he also wanted to hear what tricks this "audacious" daughter-in-law had.

Gu Xiling was not afraid or nervous when facing her mother-in-law's cold face. Instead, she smiled and said, "Mother, there is no knot in the world that cannot be untied. The prince has the knot of Gu Xirong in his heart now, and your daughter-in-law must find a way to untie it."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Mrs. Song, the wife of Marquis Changning, was slightly stunned. She had seen a bride who was uneasy and resentful because she was not liked by her husband, but appeared to be cautious and tried her best to please her husband.

But Gu Xiling was so good that she could actually openly and confidently mention that her husband had someone he loved, and she even wanted to get rid of the woman her husband loved but could not have.

Isn’t this too fantastical?

Gu Xiling spoke slowly and clearly, "Mother, father, you must all know that Xiling is the real daughter of the Gu family. I grew up in a farming family, I am not good at writing, and I am not likable. Therefore, I can only live on the guilt of my biological parents in the Jingyang Marquis's mansion."

"Everyone wants a good marriage like the Changning Marquis' Mansion, but my parents loved Gu Xirong who grew up by their side, so they arranged a marriage for me with the Xie family. But for some reason, Gu Xirong cried and insisted on the Xie family marriage, and even said that if I didn't marry into the Changning Marquis' Mansion, she would be sorry for her deceased grandmother, and would feel guilty for occupying the magpie's nest for the rest of her life."

"Although Xiling doesn't understand why she did this, I am sure that Gu Xirong doesn't want to marry the prince. But the prince is still obsessed with the fact that Gu Xirong and he are childhood sweethearts and they love each other. He even thought that I stole Gu Xirong's marriage and took his anger out on me!"

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze and his wife Song, who had originally been somewhat nonchalant, became increasingly solemn.

They just thought that Jingyang Marquis's family had a change of heart, but they didn't expect there were so many right and wrongs.

Song used the time to drink tea to hide the anger in her eyes.

She may not like Gu Xirong, but what right does a fake like Gu Xirong have to despise her son?

At this time, Changning Marquis Zhou Ze asked: "You said all this, but the prince may not believe it?"

Gu Xiling pursed her lips and smiled, "As the saying goes, the one who tied the bell must be the one who can untie it. The prince didn't believe what I said, but Gu Xirong said that the prince must believe it. Tomorrow, it will be my third day's visit, and Gu Xirong will also be the visitor. I'm sure the prince doesn't want to be deceived, and he also wants to know the truth."

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Good...good...this is a good idea!"

"On the day of returning to the parents' home, please pay attention to the separation between men and women, and remember not to act rashly." Mrs. Song, the wife of the Marquis of Changning, tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that kept turning up, but she was the mother-in-law, so how could she not show dignity in front of her daughter-in-law?

Gu Xiling bowed slightly and answered softly, "Yes, father, mother."

After leaving the main courtyard, Gu Xiling walked in front, and Nanny Yuan followed closely behind her, a step slower.

"Madam Yuan, what kind of snacks does the prince like to eat?" Gu Xiling was going to Zhou Jin's study, and she couldn't go empty-handed.

In fact, doing this is not to please Zhou Jin, but to please the mother-in-law Song.

As a mother-in-law, she can't stand her son being nice to his wife, and she can't stand her daughter-in-law being mean to her son even more.

When Nanny Yuan heard Gu Xiling asking about the prince's preferences, she let out a long sigh and smiled until the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes spread out. "Madam, the prince likes to eat lotus cakes, and the marquis's wife likes them too. The kitchen always has some ready. Madam, do you want to send some snacks to the prince?"

Gu Xiling nodded and smiled, "Bring some lotus cakes over. I'll go and invite the prince to come and have breakfast together."

Nanny Yuan came over and whispered, "The prince is writing in his study right now and hasn't had breakfast yet. Madam, go and call him in person. The prince will surely have a good appetite."

"I hope so!" Gu Xiling chuckled and probably couldn't eat.

Arriving at Zizhu Courtyard, Gu Xiling moved with light lotus steps; the earrings, the golden hairpin on her head, and the pendants holding down the hem of her skirt only swayed slightly.

Nanny Yuan was quite shocked.

Whoever said that the Crown Prince’s wife was born in the countryside and doesn’t know etiquette, she would be the first one to be unhappy!

Come to Zizhuyuan.

Nanny Yuan asked a trusted maid to go to the kitchen and prepare breakfast for the Crown Prince and his wife.

She followed closely and answered questions for the Crown Prince's wife in a timely manner.

Under the introduction and guidance of Nanny Yuan, Gu Xiling came to Qingzhuxuan next door. This small courtyard was the study of Prince Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin's personal attendant was named Lai Fu, who was of medium height, with a round, chubby face. He smiled whenever he saw anyone and was very lively.

At this moment, he saw Gu Xiling coming, and he did not dare to neglect her. He immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to the Madam of the Crown Prince."

He was standing behind the prince yesterday and saw with his own eyes how the prince's wife drove his prince away with just a few words.

Gu Xiling chuckled in a clear voice, "Please tell Lai Fu that I have something important to tell you. If you don't see me, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

After saying this, Gu Xiling winked at Xiulan, the head maid beside her.

Xiulan handed over a royal blue purse with no obvious markings. Inside was a five-liang silver ingot. She smiled sweetly and thanked him, "Brother Laifu, thank you for your hard work."

Lai Fu was startled by Xiulan, who was pretty and had a nice voice, calling him "brother". He was stunned for a moment, his face slightly hot, "It's not hard, it's...it's my duty."

Holding the warm purse from Xiulan in his hand, Lai Fu smiled naively, turned around and went inside to pass the message.

Zhou Jin, who was in the study, heard it when Gu Xiling brought people to the courtyard of Qingzhuxuan.

snort!

I thought Gu Xiling was so brave, but now she comes to beg him and ask him for favors?

And you said that he would regret it for the rest of his life?

You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?

Lai Fu gently pushed the door open and reported respectfully, "Sir, the wife wants to see you. She also said she has something important to tell you. If you don't listen today, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Zhou Jin sat on the chair with his eyes closed and remained silent, deliberately ignoring Gu Xiling who was outside.

After a while, Zhou Jin opened his eyes and said, "OK!"

"Yes, Prince." Lai Fu breathed a sigh of relief, for he was afraid that the Prince would get angry and push back the submissive Princess.

Gu Xiling came in and bowed to Zhou Jin with a smile, "May my husband be blessed with good health!"

"I don't deserve it!" Zhou Jin didn't even glance at Gu Xiling. He was calm and composed, holding a wolf brush in his hand and painting on the rice paper. "Besides the wedding ceremony, you and I haven't tied the knot, drank the wedding wine, or had the wedding night. What kind of husband am I?"

He returned all the words that Gu Xiling had said to him before to Gu Xiling!

Oh my, you're being so arrogant!

Gu Xiling covered her mouth and chuckled. The prince was really good at pretending and he could not escape her "eagle eyes".

Zhou Jin appears to be calm, nonchalant, cold and arrogant on the surface, but his sloppy and erratic writing reveals his true and anxious heart.
