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

After the furious Gu Xirong left, the box became quiet.

Gu Xiling did not leave, but continued to sit quietly, her eyes fixed on the road outside.

Before getting on the carriage, Gu Xirong looked up at Gu Xiling.

Although he suppressed his smile, there was no anger in his expression. Instead, he even looked a bit gloating.

Xiulan frowned, "Madam Mayor, I think Miss Xirong hasn't told me the real reason yet, and it's definitely not because of money."

Gu Xiling turned her head and looked at Xiulan and smiled, "How could she possibly tell me everything? Of course she told me half and kept the other half. Madam Gu, it's up to you now."

Madam Gu said humbly and seriously, "Yes, I will find out Miss Xirong's true intention as soon as possible."

Gu Xiling was calm and composed. She had irritated Gu Xirong enough today, and she would make sure that Gu Xirong would be so depressed that she couldn't eat when she returned.

Under the guidance of someone with ulterior motives, Gu Xirong would naturally and inadvertently reveal her intentions in order to vent her anger.

Gu Xiling's dowry and betrothal gifts included shops, and the four shopkeepers did a good job, keeping clear accounts and being quite dedicated.

After returning in the afternoon, Gu Xiling brought a set of jewelry and went to the main courtyard to give it to her mother-in-law, Mrs. Song.

Song's mouth curled up, she was in a very good mood, but she was humble in her words.

"I am already this age, my youth has passed, no matter how good the jewelry is, it won't shine on my head, and no one will notice it."

Gu Xiling disagreed, "Mother, please don't say that. Do we dress up just to please others? Can't we dress up because we like it? Can't we dress up to please ourselves?"

Song was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.

There are so many jewellery, they just sit there anyway.

Nowadays, we have a lot of free time every day, and dressing up can be a way to kill time.

"Xi Ling, you are very insightful. I should learn from you in this regard." Song said with a smile, "You must be tired after being busy outside. Go back and rest early, don't get tired."

Now, when Song sees her son, she is not as happy as when she sees her daughter-in-law. Anyway, her son can remember to buy her snacks but not jewelry.

"Thank you, mother." Gu Xiling agreed, put down the gift, and left with the servants.

Song looked at the set of red gold and kingfisher feather jewelry given by Gu Xiling and liked it very much. She was very satisfied and said, "I'll wear it tomorrow!"

"Yes, ma'am. Tomorrow I will prepare clothes for you that match the jewelry. I guarantee that you will look radiant." Nanny Song said with a smile, saying only what Mrs. Song liked to hear.

"Very good!" Song nodded, looking forward to pleasing herself tomorrow.

After Gu Xirong got on the carriage, she became angrier and angrier, and her long nails almost broke her palms.

Xiuzhen persuaded in a low voice. She knew what to say to make Gu Xirong happy and relieved.

If Gu Xirong's anger and frustration cannot be relieved in time, the maids around her will suffer.

"Miss, please don't argue with Miss Xiling. She is in power now and looks down on others. When our general becomes successful and rises to prominence, Miss Xiling won't even be worthy of carrying your shoes."

Aunt Xu raised her eyes and glanced at Xiuzhen.

She chose to remain silent and lowered her head again.

She was worried that Miss Xirong was always causing trouble for Miss Xiling, and that some things were harmful to others and not beneficial to herself.

A trick that couldn’t be stinkier!

Aunt Xu didn't know where Miss Xirong's arrogance came from? What was her basis?

Gu Xirong heard Xiuzhen's advice and immediately laughed, "Yes, that Aunt Bai is not an easy person to deal with!"

Xiuzhen agreed with a smile, "Miss, you are right. I was really surprised when I asked about Aunt Bai before. Aunt Bai's return to Changning Marquis Mansion will definitely cause unrest in the family."

"Miss Xiling has a bad temper and is willful and capricious. I can't stand it. Miss Xiling hasn't even consummated her marriage with the Marquis of Changning yet. How could she know how powerful the pillow talk in the harem is? She will suffer a lot in the future!"

Hearing the three words "not consummated the marriage", Gu Xirong felt better.

If the marriage is not consummated, Gu Xiling cannot be considered the real wife of the prince. I'm sure Gu Xiling must be very anxious!

Although Gu Xirong didn't like Gu Xiling, she had to admit that Gu Xiling was good-looking.

But Zhou Jin has yet to consummate his marriage with Gu Xiling, and it’s definitely not due to health reasons. So... could it be that he still has feelings for her?

Thinking of this, Gu Xirong became even more proud of her appearance, proving that she was more beautiful than Gu Xiling.

When a person becomes arrogant and proud, he tends to speak without restraint.

"Yes, Aunt Bai will definitely make Marquis Changning obey her orders. In the future, Aunt Bai will definitely have a place in the backyard of Marquis Changning's mansion."

Xiuzhen was surprised, with doubt in her eyes, "Miss, you are exaggerating. Aunt Bai is beautiful, favored by Marquis Changning, and lives a good life in the harem, but she has no children after all."

"Even if Marquis Changning likes Aunt Bai so much, he might give her some money and jewelry and let her stay in her yard for a few more nights, but he will never obey Aunt Bai's orders."

At this time, Madam Xu also spoke up, "My lady, I also think it's impossible. After all, Marquis Changning is a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, a powerful official. How could he be controlled by a woman in the harem?"

Gu Xirong smiled smugly, gloating over the misfortune, "It's a normal fight for favor. Even if Aunt Bai can come up with some tricks, she can't surpass the Song family, let alone the cunning Gu Xiling."

"But what if Aunt Bai uses something to make Marquis Changning addicted? Can he do whatever he wants?"

Madam Xu and Xiuzhen looked at each other, confused. "Drinking can be addictive, but it doesn't mean you will become an alcoholic all of a sudden, right?"

“Haha!” Gu Xirong smiled, her eyes revealing sarcasm. “I can only say that there are all kinds of things in this world. Let’s wait and see how long Gu Xiling can remain so proud!”

"Miss is wise. Let's just wait for Miss Xiling's 'good news'." Xiuzhen agreed, with an attitude of firm support for Gu Xirong on her face.

But in my heart I was thinking, how much silver can this news be sold for?

That night, Xiuzhen passed on the news she had heard through the coachman who brought the news from Jingyangbo's mansion to Xie's house, and received fifty taels of silver, divided into five bills of ten taels each, for easy hiding.

After receiving the silver, Xiuzhen sighed and said that Miss Xiling was so generous.

It’s not that Xiuzhen is unfaithful, but that Miss Xiling gives her too much money.

That night, Gu Xiling received a report from Nanny Gu and fell into deep thought.

Abnormal means?

Something addictive?

There is nothing strange in this world, right?

Putting these together, Gu Xiling quickly got the answer. It should be something that is addictive and hard to quit but also hard to kill oneself from, and can make people suffer so much that they have no choice but to succumb.

After figuring this out, Gu Xiling took a deep breath!

If Aunt Bai really succeeds, there will be chaos in the Changning Marquis' Mansion!
