There were two words clearly written on the table: "Medicinal Materials".

Gu Xirong spent a huge amount of money, including her dowry and borrowing money from banks, to purchase these medicinal herbs from other places.

Just waiting for the flood this summer, making a fortune and alleviating the Xie family’s current poverty.

She did it very secretly, how did Gu Xiling know?

"Gu Xiling, how did you know about this?" Gu Xirong asked in a low voice with a serious expression and cold eyes.

Gu Xiling pursed her lips and chuckled, "Are you angry? Do you think you are the only one who can cause trouble for me, but I can't investigate you? If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it. You thought that the purchase of medicinal materials was quiet, but you can't hide it from me who is investigating you."

In the past, I was too lazy to get involved with Gu Xirong and just wanted to keep a distance from the Xie family, and it would be best if we never had any contact with each other again.

But Gu Xirong was different. She always wanted to pull her down and destroy her peaceful life, and she had a lot of bad intentions.

Can Gu Xiling forgive her?

Gu Xirong glared at her, but soon she regained her composure and suppressed her inner anger. She no longer had the mind to test Gu Xiling.

"So what if you know I'm buying medicinal herbs? I'm doing business honestly. I buy them, not rob them."

Gu Xirong felt that Gu Xiling's attempt to control her with medicinal herbs would not work at all.

Gu Xiling, wearing pink nail polish, looks cute and lovely as she taps the table lightly.

She knew that Gu Xirong would not give in so easily. This kind of person will not cry until he sees the coffin.

Gu Xirong would not cooperate unless she was forced into a corner.

Since Gu Xirong was like this, Gu Xiling decided to fulfill her wish.

"Coincidentally, I saw my sister buying herbs, so I bought a lot of herbs too! Ten times as much as you did!"

"You..." Gu Xirong stood up suddenly, glaring at Gu Xiling, pointing her red nails at Gu Xiling, "Gu Xiling, you are so vicious!"

Gu Xiling raised her eyes, and the smile in her eyes gradually disappeared. "Gu Xirong, since we got married, have I ever taken the initiative to cause trouble to you?"

Gu Xirong was stunned. After thinking carefully, it seems... it seems that there is no...

It seemed that she was unwilling to let Gu Xiling have an easy time several times, so she took the initiative to deal with Gu Xiling, but it seemed that she failed every time.

For example, this time, the reason why she asked Xiuzhen to go to the farm in the eastern suburbs of Changning Marquis's Mansion to meet Aunt Bai was for money.

But I didn’t expect that Gu Xiling actually found out Xiuzhen’s whereabouts.

"Sister Rong, you actually forced me to do this." Gu Xiling said coldly, with the corners of her mouth curled up, and the mockery in her eyes was evident. "I thought we would get married and be happy on our own. But you still can't bear to see me get better."

"If it were me who dealt with you every time, what would you do? Maybe if you were me, you would go even further, right?"

Gu Xirong remained silent and lowered her eyes to look at the table.

In her previous life, Gu Xiling did not cause her any trouble. It was as if she had become obedient after marrying into the Xie family. She was no longer like when she was still a girl and would compete with her in everything.

On the contrary, she married into a wealthy family and lived a good life at the beginning. Every time she saw Gu Xiling, she would show off and mock Gu Xiling for being shabby.

But these are just words, there are no real means of dealing with it.

Because in her eyes at that time, the Xie family was a ruined family, and Gu Xiling was just a poor person who was not worth her dealing with.

Thinking of this, Gu Xirong felt as if her heart was hit by a heavy hammer.

In this life, if Gu Xiling were the eldest son of the Marquis of Changning, in Gu Xiling's eyes, she would be completely poor and probably not worth Gu Xiling's help!

Gu Xirong was both angry and furious. She was always proud and arrogant, but she was hit hard at this moment.

Gu Xiling has so many medicinal herbs in her hands. If she lowers the price, she probably won’t be able to sell them at a high price.

When the time comes to pay the compensation, it will be like adding insult to injury for the already poor Xie family.

After a while, Gu Xirong's straight back gradually bent down, and she sat down feeling frustrated and angry.

"Mrs. Bai is deeply loved by Marquis Changning. Three years have passed. Men forget things easily. How could Marquis Changning forget such a charming and lovely girl?"

"I asked Xiuzhen to find Aunt Bai and tell her to write a letter in blood. I will send someone to deliver it to Marquis Changning. When Marquis Changning sees the letter, he will think of her and take her back to the palace."

Gu Xiling had a serious expression as she listened carefully to Gu Xirong's explanation. "Sister Rong, you never do anything without a profit. You absolutely cannot help Aunt Bai just because you feel sorry for her, who has nothing to do with you."

"Tell me your real purpose, don't be shy. I'm telling you the truth. I'm the only one who came to see you now. Since we're both from the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion, I'll give you some respect."

"If my mother-in-law knew that you helped Aunt Bai return home, do you think she would let you go? By then, neither you nor the Xie family would be able to withstand the wrath of the wife of Marquis Changning."

Hearing this, Gu Xirong's face changed drastically.

Having been dealt with by the Song family in her previous life, Gu Xirong certainly understood that the methods of Lady Song, the wife of the Marquis of Changning, were even more cruel.

Now the Xie family, or Xie Jin, are still weak and cannot withstand the thundering methods of the powerful and noble Changning Marquis Mansion.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

After Gu Xirong calmed down and thought carefully, she considered for a moment and said, "I did it for money."

"Silver?" Gu Xiling was even more confused, "Where did the silver come from?"

Bai Youlan was once the most beautiful courtesan in Chunxianglou. It was common for many literati, high-ranking officials and wealthy people to spend a fortune just to see her.

Chang Ning Hou won the first prize in the poetry competition and won Bai Youlan away. Not only did he not spend money to redeem her, but Bai Youlan also took away her savings in Chunxiang Tower.

"Then how much silver did you get from Bai Youlan?" Gu Xiling asked again, feeling even more confused.

Is Gu Xirong really so superficial?

Being stared at like this by Gu Xiling, Gu Xirong's face flushed, and she was quite embarrassed, "One thousand taels of silver."

She received 1,220 taels of silver, which gave her enough money to buy jewelry and attend the Lotus Banquet at Qujiang Lake.

It's really embarrassing to have ended up like this.

"Just one thousand taels?" Gu Xiling didn't believe it. "You would go to so much trouble for such a small amount of money?"

Gu Xirong was almost choked by Gu Xiling's tone and felt extremely ashamed.

Once upon a time, she also looked down on this one thousand taels of silver, but now the Xie family is too poor and has foreign debts.

For a moment, she couldn't think of a way to make money quickly, so she set her sights on Aunt Bai.

"I would like five thousand taels, but Aunt Bai doesn't want it." Gu Xirong stood up. "Anyway, this is how it is. For the sake of our sisterhood, I'm telling you everything. I hope you won't lower the price of the herbs. If I lose money, I'll make you regret it."

After saying that, Gu Xirong left angrily, not wanting to see Gu Xiling's conceited face!

She must keep calm and wait for Marquis Changning to fall from grace before washing away today's shame and taking revenge.
