The four people looked at each other, not daring to be careless.

Gu Xiling was the first to react. She lowered her voice and whispered, "If it involves Prince Ning, then this matter is a matter of life and death for the Changning Marquisate."

After hearing what Gu Xiling said, Song gradually came to her senses.

Although the inference results are horrifying, it is better than them being kept in the dark.

Despite being horrified, Song was actually a little happy inside.

This time, the Marquis was not blinded by lust, nor was he obsessed with Aunt Bai. Instead, he wanted to take the opportunity to find the "mastermind" behind Aunt Bai.

Emotionally speaking, it is a good thing for the Song family.

"My Lord, thank you for your hard work!" There were so many words to express her feelings. Song was introverted by nature, and the look she gave Marquis Changning was very firm.

Zhou Jin looked at his father and regained his previous admiration. "Father, it turns out that you have your own difficulties. I misunderstood you."

Marquis Changning, who was originally blaming himself and shocked, was comforted and persuaded by his wife and son, and the heavy burden on his back seemed to be lifted.

He felt mixed emotions and sighed, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Madam. This time, it's all thanks to Xiling. I have always had doubts, but I have many questions."

Song shook her head. "My Lord, please don't be like this. Changning Marquis's Mansion is our home. Even if it's a bother, it's what we should do."

"It's rare that Xi Ling, who has just arrived at the Changning Marquis's Mansion, is bold enough to speak out her guess despite the Marquis' misunderstanding. She is thoughtful."

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze nodded and smiled, "Yes, I have always been suspicious, but there are many things I can't figure out. After hearing what Xiling said today, I can finally see the bright moon after the dark clouds have been cleared."

Gu Xiling said modestly, "Father, mother, Xiling dare not take credit for it. If it weren't for the generosity of father and mother, and the trust of the prince, how could he have listened to my speculations seriously? He would have just regarded them as nonsense."

Zhou Jin's heart and eyes were filled with Gu Xiling.

He spent a lot of time with Gu Xiling and had long known that Gu Xiling was smart, but only in the rear house. He did not expect that she was also very smart in political affairs.

"Xi Ling, you have good intentions towards the Marquis' Mansion. Even if you said something wrong, it's okay. Father and mother are generous and will not blame you."

Gu Xiling nodded calmly and smiled, "Yes! The worst result is what we just speculated. As long as father is on guard, he shouldn't be fooled. The food is getting cold, let's eat first, and then plan together to overcome this difficulty!"

Prince Ning wanted to fake his death again, but Gu Xiling refused.

He must be killed!

Song nodded and smiled, "Yes, Lord. This matter needs to be discussed carefully. Let's eat first."

Marquis Changning nodded and stroked his beautiful beard, "Okay!"

Gu Xiling stood up and wanted to serve food to her parents-in-law, but was held down by Song.

"Child, we are all family. Your father-in-law and I are not incapable of using chopsticks, so you don't need to set the table. Please sit down quickly. We can talk while we eat since there is no one around."

Marquis Changning also nodded and smiled, "We can pick up what we want to eat, you sit down and eat. Jin'er, Xiling, you are young and smart. What's your trick?"

Zhou Jin answered without hesitation: "Of course, we should capture Aunt Bai, torture her severely, find out who controlled her, and then follow the clues to find the mastermind."

"Then what?" Changning Hou Zhou Ze curled the corner of his mouth. Although this is also a solution, it is not "brilliant".

Zhou Jin was stunned. "Then send him to the government and bring him to justice."

Marquis of Changning Zhou Ze felt very disappointed. If the government was so reliable, how could there be such unjust, false and wrongful cases?

Furthermore, since it involves Prince Ning, would the government dare to handle it?

In the end, the matter was brought to His Majesty. It was too presumptuous for someone to overthrow Prince Ning just by relying on a concubine in Marquis Changning's mansion.

Song lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly. Her son was too idealistic.

He is intelligent, but he has not experienced too many setbacks, nor has he witnessed the ups and downs of officialdom, which is dark and dangerous.

She wanted to hear what her daughter-in-law, who grew up in a completely different environment from Jin'er, had to say. She raised her eyes and smiled softly, speaking in a dignified and proper manner.

"Xi Ling, you tell me something too. Your father-in-law just said that if he said it wrong, it doesn't matter. If he said it right, there will be a reward. I'll tell you straight, the three-storey shop with three storeys on Zhuque Street is the reward."

Originally, Gu Xiling didn't want to continue talking.

After all, my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Zhou Jin are all smart people, and they will definitely be able to think of a good way to solve the problem.

But now it is obvious that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are not satisfied with Zhou Jin's method.

Alas, I can only say that Zhou Jin is too upright and decent!

He should just continue to edit books honestly!

Now that her mother-in-law has promised her huge profits, Gu Xiling is really excited!

Although her dowry was quite generous, who would complain about having too many good things? Especially three shops with three floors on Zhuque Street.

Price but no market!

Gu Xiling put down her chopsticks, chewed quickly, swallowed the meat in her mouth, and gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. "Mother, father, and prince, I'm telling you, don't think I'm cunning!"

Zhou Jin was so happy that he laughed out loud, "Wife, tell me your husband, so that I can see how cunning and deceitful my wife is."

Gu Xiling rolled her eyes and snorted.

Although he was secretly complaining in his heart, he was actually not that cunning or deceitful. After all, if he sold Zhou Jin out, Zhou Jin would be grateful and offer him the money he earned from selling her body.

Seeing her daughter-in-law's charming appearance, Song smiled and said, "Jin'er, how can you say that about your wife? We are discussing important matters, this is not a joke."

Zhou Jin smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I was wrong, please don't blame me, ma'am."

"Xi Ling, go ahead and speak!" Marquis Chang Ning's eyes showed encouragement, "To be cunning to the enemy is to love your family. Don't feel any psychological burden, you can speak freely."

Gu Xiling nodded and smiled softly, "My daughter-in-law once read half of the book in her boudoir and was amazed by her beauty."

"What book?" Zhou Jin asked hurriedly, "Does that book have anything to do with our family's affairs?"

Gu Xiling shook her head with a serious expression, "That book has nothing to do with our family, but I think it can solve our family's problems. The Thirty-Six Stratagems is so ingenious."

"Since those people have already reached into the Changning Marquis's Mansion through Aunt Bai, I believe they must have spies in the mansion now, paying attention to every move of the Changning Marquis's Mansion. Maybe the news that we dismissed the servants has already reached their spies."

"Therefore, my daughter-in-law thinks that instead of arresting Aunt Bai and torturing her to track down the relevant people, it is better for us to use the opponent's trick against her. We should openly build a plank road and secretly cross Chencang. We should find the right opportunity to destroy the other party's purpose and expose his purpose. It would be best if we kill him. This will solve the problem once and for all and eliminate the trouble forever."

When Changning Hou Zhou Ze heard Gu Xiling's suggestion, he stroked his beautiful beard with a smile in his eyes.

Aunt Bai is just a pawn and may not know much.

Even if the person who was in contact with Aunt Bai was caught, he might be a assassin and it would not necessarily implicate Prince Ning.

In the end, not only will it be futile, but it will also make the other party alert and cause endless troubles.

"Xi Ling, tell me, how can we turn the tables on the enemy? How can we openly repair the plank road? How can we secretly cross the Chencang Pass?"
