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

Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Isn't the painting good? Isn't this very dignified and virtuous?"

Lai Fu's eyes fell on the painting again and he almost cried.

"Sir, since the wife wants to see a portrait of herself as virtuous and dignified, why don't you just paint it? But you also painted the wife pretending to be virtuous."

"Haha!" Zhou Jin laughed, quite proudly, "Don't you think it's interesting?"

Lai Fu rolled his eyes rudely and complained that the prince also had a bad taste.

"Sir, I see that you don't find it interesting. You just want to see the wife of the prince jump up and down in anger with you, gritting her teeth."

"You just want to take revenge on the Crown Prince's wife for making you so angry that you were mad and had stars in your eyes, and you were speechless."

Zhou Jin's laughter stopped abruptly. The evil taste in his heart was clearly understood by this dog slave.

He snorted arrogantly, and his narrow eyes swept towards Lai Fu, "Lai Fu, have you ever heard of someone dying from talking too much or being mean?"

"This..." Lai Fu quickly covered his mouth, indicating that he was very obedient, honest and loyal and would never say anything nonsense.

Zhou Jin was in a good mood and said loudly, "Prepare two copies of the materials. Wait for me to rest and mount them carefully."

He was looking forward to seeing how Gu Xiling would look when she saw this painting!

Zhou Jin was so busy laughing, scolding and talking about love with Gu Xiling that he didn't care at all about his father's concubine returning home.

In Zhou Jin's mind, it was really just a thing!

He had heard of many restless concubines, but this was the first time he had seen one kill his own daughter in order to frame his mistress.

Children are the Achilles' heel of their father!

Especially the child who died in the dark and secret place of the rear house was what the father could not accept the most.

He is the only heir in the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, and it is rare that Aunt Bai gave birth to one.

Although she is a daughter, she is still precious to the marquis's family with few offspring.

But Aunt Bai was so ungrateful that she killed the only support she had in her life.

does it worth?

In Zhou Jin's eyes, Aunt Bai is the kind of woman who thinks she is very smart but is extremely stupid!

Lying on the bed, Zhou Jin closed his eyes and began to imagine a beautiful life with Gu Xiling, full of love and affection.

Have a few children, raise a few dogs and horses for your sons, and a few cats and rabbits for your daughters.

Raise a parrot for Gu Xiling, learn how to talk from it, and entertain Gu Xiling.

He worked in the government office during the day and returned home at night to teach his son around the table.

Over time, the relationship between husband and wife faded.

Zhou Jin felt that there was no need to take a concubine. It was too scary. They would drug people at any time and kill a large number of them.

There are many foolish men in the capital who favor their concubines over their wives. The concubines become arrogant due to their favor, and the harem is in turmoil, making them unworthy of important positions.

Zhou Jin has already thought about his life after middle age. He will devote himself to completing the work of the court and try his best to do something practical for the people.

When he returned home, if Gu Xiling found him annoying, he would do carpentry work, which was what he liked.

He can make hairpins and give them to Gu Xiling.

He can make a piano and play it for Gu Xiling.

When the spring days are warm and the autumn days are crisp, he can go fishing.

With so many fun things to do, why waste your energy on your concubine's belly?

With expectations and plans for a better life, Zhou Jin fell into a sweet dream and enjoyed a night with everything in her dream!

The night was long, and the person who was most uncomfortable in the entire Changning Marquis Mansion was probably Aunt Bai from Lanyuan.

She glanced at the door from time to time, but the figure she was thinking about did not appear.

Expectations turn into disappointment and even despair!

Times have changed. Aunt Bai has missed a lot in these three years.

Maybe those people were right. Maybe only poison could make the Marquis return to her and stay with her.

She will not be soft-hearted and put herself in a desperate situation.

The next day, when Gu Xiling woke up and had breakfast, she came to greet her mother-in-law, Song, and said, "Mother, there is something going on in my daughter-in-law's shop. I want to go and take a look."

Song chuckled, "If you need me, then go ahead. Bring along the maids, nannies, and guards."

"Thank you, mother. I'll bring you some chestnut cakes when my daughter-in-law returns home." Gu Xiling smiled and bowed deeply.

Song looked at her lovely daughter-in-law and thought of the sweetness between her daughter-in-law and her son, and couldn't help but sigh.

It’s great to be young!

There is still love after all!

But how much love, in the end, is defeated by... time!

When a woman is betrayed and neglected by her husband, she will be hurt and realize that loving herself will help her live longer.

A man who is too sentimental and promiscuous will waste his money, his body and his life.

Therefore, time is the biggest winner, and whoever lives longer is the final winner.

After leaving the house, Gu Xiling got on the carriage.

Then Madam Gu reported quietly, "Madam Xie is going to the Treasure Pavilion to select jewelry today and attend the Lotus Banquet by the Qujiang Lake. The Changning Marquis' Mansion is closer to the Treasure Pavilion, so we should go there first. Or should we wait for Madam Xie to arrive before we go there, so as not to come back empty-handed?"

Gu Xiling shook her head and chuckled, "We have to go first. If we go late, she is suspicious and might guess that I followed her to the Treasure Pavilion."

Nanny Gu looked suspicious and asked in confusion, "Madam, you have always disliked associating with Madam Xie. Why did you go to so much trouble to meet Madam Xie today?"

Gu Xiling chuckled and said, "Of course I was trying to find out her true feelings. I asked someone to investigate Aunt Bai and found out that Sister Rong's maid Xiuzhen had entered the manor."

Nanny Gu was shocked. "How did Miss Xirong know Aunt Bai?"

"Who knows?" Gu Xiling's lips curled up and her eyebrows slightly raised. "Today I want to find out the truth! Madam Gu, give some more silver to the maids around Madam Xie and ask them to test Madam Xie's attitude later."

Nanny Gu agreed, "Yes."

The masters were fighting each other, and it was difficult for them, the servants.

But now the indenture is with Gu Xiling, and each of them serves his own master, so they can only show their abilities!

However, because Miss Xirong's dowry was initially occupied by her mother-in-law, and now she has to sell medicinal herbs to make up for the loss.

It is said that it is difficult to pay the monthly salary this month, let alone the bonus.

The people below are living a tight life, so it is inevitable that they have some uneasy thoughts.

It is not difficult to get the Crown Prince’s wife’s explanation.

Gu Xiling entered the Treasure Pavilion, and the shopkeeper personally received the wife of the Marquis of Changning.

No matter what kind of jewelry Gu Xiling wanted to see, the shopkeeper would personally bring it to her and take out all the beautiful and fashionable ones in the store.

Gu Xiling was picky, but the shopkeeper didn't show any impatience.

Gu Xirong brought her maid Xiuzhen to the Treasure Pavilion, and saw the owner and waiter of the Treasure Pavilion explaining everything to Gu Xiling with a flattering look on their faces.

When she came in, the waiter only took one look at her and saw that Gu Xirong was wearing last year's fashionable fabric, and he knew that she was not a wealthy person.

Even if such people are willing to spend money to buy things in the Treasure Pavilion, they will still be picky and will choose the cheapest ones.

Therefore, the waiter did not entertain Gu Xirong specifically, but entertained several people at the same time, and was not proactive.

The scene before her deeply hurt Gu Xirong's heart.

In her previous life, the seat where Gu Xiling sat was hers, and the several sets of exquisite and fashionable jewelry that Gu Xiling spent a huge sum of money on were also hers.

But now, although she has found a lover, she is short of money.

The days of having enough love and water are really not easy!

Gu Xirong's eyes were red as she walked over, her eyes almost glued to the jewelry that Gu Xiling bought.

She wanted to test Gu Xiling and ask her how she survived in the Xie family.
