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

Song listened carefully and said nothing.

She is the mistress of the harem, and if Gu Xiling's method is good, she will fully cooperate.

Zhou Jin was stunned, and seemed to have realized that his method was inferior to Gu Xiling's.

Gu Xiling pondered for a moment, organized her words, and slowly answered: "The so-called false defense is that father and Aunt Bai are pretending to be sincere and paralyzing each other. In addition, I deliberately made things difficult for Aunt Bai, so father can scold me."

"We will sneak into Chencang and get the addictive drug from Aunt Bai to see how effective it is. Then, let my father learn her state and paralyze the other party. We can take the opportunity to learn the other party's purpose and find evidence of King Ning's misconduct. Then we can report it to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty is the one who is most afraid of the princes' rebellion. If you still use such despicable and vicious methods, I'm sure you won't just use it on your father, but on other ministers as well, so that they can be used by Prince Ning. By then, we can not only escape from the predicament, but also make meritorious contributions."

"However, frequent contact with Aunt Bai may put father in danger. It's just that I can't think of a better or more suitable one. I ask mother, father, and the prince to work together to find a foolproof plan."

Gu Xiling does have a foolproof plan, but she can't act too amazing.

She wanted the people in the Marquis of Changning's Mansion to think that she was smart, but not so smart that they would be afraid of her. Otherwise, after dealing with the evil spirits outside, they would remember her full of conspiracies and tricks and would start to be wary of her.

This goes against her original intention of living a leisurely life.

This is not what Gu Xiling wants.

Zhou Jin blinked, then realized that his method was too superficial, and praised, "My wife is indeed smart."

Gu Xiling raised her face proudly, "She will become even smarter in the future! Just wait and see, my lord."

Marquis Changning was pleased and approved of Gu Xiling's method.

Although there are still many aspects that need to be refined, considering Gu Xiling's age and experience, it is already great that she can think of such a solution.

Anyway, it's much smarter than the method of his son, who won the third place in the imperial examination.

Song pondered for a moment, then thought about it and shook her head, "The Marquis is the head of the Changning Marquisate, and he cannot put himself in danger."

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze waved his hands and chuckled, "That stuff isn't poison. Even if I drink it, I can spit it out quickly onto my handkerchief, so it shouldn't have any effect."

"My wife may have to suffer some injustice next. Please cooperate with me in the play. Let's get through this difficult time together."

Song's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked up at Changning Marquis Zhou Ze.

He is still as handsome as ever. Although there are some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his charm is still undiminished!

This is Zhou Lang, the man she had admired for a long time!

We were in love under the moonlight back then, but he could never stand the temptation of the new.

Love, affection, are both tormenting things!

Since this matter concerns Prince Ning, Zhou Ze needs to take action personally.

Even if there is danger, it’s worth it!

Song thought she had let it go, but at this moment, she still felt sorry for him and worried about him, only to realize that the letting go she had done before was all an illusion.

"Take care, my lord!" Song wanted to persuade him, but she also knew that Marquis Changning had made up his mind and would not change it.

All my worries can be condensed into these four words.

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze smiled lightly and gently patted the back of Song's hand on the table, "Madam, don't worry. Now we have planned carefully and seized the initiative. Everything is under control."

Zhou Jin pondered for a moment, then looked eager, "Father, what should I do?"

Marquis Changning was startled, and thought for a moment, "Work hard on compiling your agricultural books, and also check whether the high-yield crops in the foreign lands on your farm are high-yield. This is what His Majesty has arranged for you, and you just need to do these well."

Zhou Jin looked disappointed. "This is about Changning Marquis Mansion. I have the most free time. Father, I also want to help."

Marquis Changning is in trouble!

To be honest, there is really no use for my son!

I can’t let my son seduce his concubine!

Does he want to save face? Does the Changning Marquisate want to save face?

Just as Marquis Changning was thinking about how to avoid hitting Zhou Jin, Gu Xiling's crisp voice came, "Father, your daughter-in-law thinks that the prince is of great use."

Zhou Jin had prepared himself mentally for his father's rejection, but he did not expect to hear words from his wife that sounded like the sound of nature.

His starry eyes turned to Gu Xiling, and he asked hopefully, "Madam, please tell me, how can I help you?"

Marquis Changning pinched his beard between his fingers and paused for a moment. He really couldn't think of what this son could do!

Song also looked suspicious and waited for Gu Xiling's answer.

Gu Xiling's eyes were bright and full of wit and cunning. "The prince wants to quarrel with me. If the quarrel is fierce, people will know that our Changning Marquis Mansion is in chaos, giving people the illusion that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Arguing...arguing?" Zhou Jin was startled, then his eyes lit up, "Want to act? I'm not very good at it!"

After hearing what Gu Xiling said, Marquis Changning and Mrs. Song thought for a moment, looked at each other, and suddenly realized.

Gu Xiling’s idea is brilliant!

"Anything else?" Marquis Changning continued to ask.

Gu Xiling smiled complacently, "My mother is a dignified and elegant woman. She can't be rude or say bad things to me, so let me do it. Anyway, I'm a country girl, and I've done a lot of things like beating dogs and chasing chickens."

"I specifically targeted Aunt Bai. Father, you protected Aunt Bai and scolded me. We will act according to the situation in the future. Anyway, we should be relaxed on the outside and tight on the inside to paralyze the other party."

Song was startled, and looked at Gu Xiling with even more loving eyes. This child was willing to protect her even if it meant getting a disgrace on her.

This is much better than those brides who talk about filial piety all day long but secretly wish their mother-in-law would die soon.

This is the “fairy” daughter-in-law!

"Xi Ling, you are thoughtful." Song shook her head and laughed, "Actually, there is no need to do that. I have already married such a good daughter-in-law like you, and I don't have a daughter, so even if I have a bad reputation for being jealous, it doesn't matter."

"But you can't. You are still young and have a long way to go. If you have a bad reputation, you will be criticized and pointed at wherever you go."

Gu Xiling was moved. Compared with her ex-mother-in-law, Madam Xie, Mrs. Song, the wife of Marquis Changning, was simply a "goddess" mother-in-law!

Gu Xiling waved her hands and chuckled, "Mother, with your status and experience, you can't do it to be jealous of a concubine. Aunt Bai knows you and may not believe it. If you do it, you will be suspected."

"But I'm different. She doesn't know me, and she doesn't understand me. Plus, I showed her how to be powerful yesterday. My father scolded me today, and I cried out of grievance. It was natural and not abrupt at all."

"This..." Song hesitated. She was reluctant to see the reputation of such a good daughter-in-law like Gu Xiling damaged.

Compared to Song's "acting skills", Marquis Changning believed in the quirky Gu Xiling more, "Madam, let Xiling come!"

Gu Xiling raised her eyebrows and smiled, then slowly stood up, "Then I'll start the show!"

After saying that, Gu Xiling took the handkerchief that smelled of ginger juice and gently wiped the corners of her eyes a few times. Her eyes instantly turned red and tears flowed.

Zhou Jin was stunned and shocked by Gu Xiling's actions.

I thought this was enough, but Gu Xiling picked up the porcelain bowl in front of Marquis Changning and threw it to the ground.

"Father, please calm down. You can't just listen to Aunt Bai's one-sided story and ignore your daughter-in-law's explanation." Gu Xiling choked and argued fearfully.
