Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted
Chapter 79: Women are vicious, men are calculating
Faced with the old lady's concerns, Gu Xiling did not tell her about the plan that could deal a fatal blow to King Ning.
Because it's useless to talk about it now, and she can't possibly tell the story of what happened later.
She didn't want to be thought of as a monster, so she had to be careful with her words and actions.
Just because Gu Xiling didn’t say anything doesn’t mean Gu Xirong won’t say anything.
But now, Gu Xirong felt that that happened in autumn and could be ignored for the time being.
After she made money from using medicinal herbs this summer, it would be autumn, and she would plan to do something great for Xie Jin.
Gu Xirong carefully counted the days on her fingers. In a few days, the weather would be cloudy and rainy, and the prices of medicinal materials would continue to rise.
At this moment, Xiuzhen walked in angrily from outside, "Madam, the general has gone to the main courtyard."
Gu Xirong was slightly stunned, and said softly: "If the general is willing to go, let him go."
Xiuzhen pouted and said unhappily, "Young Madam, you are just too kind-hearted. Madam Xie dressed up a dirty thing so beautifully. She didn't buy new clothes for herself, but she also arranged some for Xiaodie."
"Those who know it, it's a toy bought from outside; those who don't know it, might think it's the daughter of the Xie family! The family is so poor, and you, Madam, are so worried all day long, but Madam Xie is just a waste of money."
Gu Xirong thought of that day in the Treasure Pavilion when Gu Xiling was able to buy several sets of jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion at will.
As for her, she could only say insincerely that a good wife should be frugal and not extravagant.
In fact, she dreamed of owning those luxurious jewels.
"Let that thing be proud for a while." Now that Yangzhou skinny horse named Xiaodie hasn't done anything inappropriate, Gu Xirong can't call for killing and affect her reputation as a virtuous woman.
Xiuzhen was secretly upset because her family had no money and the reward money was less.
If they rely on monthly wages when they work, they don't have much money, and most of them rely on rewards from their masters.
"Hey, Madam, I feel sorry for you. Miss Xiling is also married, not only does she have no worries about food and clothing, but she also lives a luxurious life."
When Gu Xirong heard this, she felt depressed. Counting the days, she realized that Aunt Bai had already been in the Changning Marquis' Mansion for a few days.
Thinking that Changning Marquis Mansion was about to fail, Gu Xirong was in a good mood and asked with a smile: "Xiuzhen, have you heard about Changning Marquis Mansion recently? Is there any movement from Aunt Bai?"
Xiuzhen came over and said awkwardly, "The maids and servants around Miss Xiling have very high standards. Every time I ask them for information, they ask for exorbitant prices."
Hearing this, Gu Xirong raised her eyebrows slightly, took out five taels of silver from the box, and handed it to Xiuzhen, "This is a reward for you. Tell the people over there that as long as the information is accurate, I am willing to spend money."
Xiuzhen was all smiles. "They all know that the young lady is generous and are willing to serve the lady. I just got a piece of news. Aunt Bai is indeed a powerful woman. The Marquis actually scolded Miss Xiling and the Marquis of Changning for Aunt Bai."
"Even the Marquis of Changning was rude to his wife. He wanted to give Aunt Bai a share, but Song was unwilling and they started arguing. The Marquis of Changning walked away. Just this morning, Miss Xiling and the prince went to the farm and complained to the old lady of the Marquis of Changning."
After hearing Xiuzhen's narration, Gu Xirong was slightly startled, then she laughed, "I thought Sister Ling was very capable, but after all this time, she can only complain."
Of course Gu Xirong knew how powerful Aunt Bai was.
She was an eyewitness back then. This Aunt Bai was truly amazing. She could actually make Marquis Changning obey her orders.
Just when Gu Xirong was gloating and preparing to watch the show at Changning Marquis' Mansion, Xie Jin strode in with a frosty face.
Gu Xirong was startled, then changed to the most gentle and soft voice, "Greetings to my husband, who has offended my husband?"
Xie Jin slammed the table, angrily, "Who else could it be? I went to pay my respects to my mother, but a maidservant beside my mother was so clumsy that she poured me a cup of tea and not only spilled it all over me, but also poured it on me."
"The maid didn't act like a maid. She said she was going to change my clothes, but her hands were not honest and were too restless. I kicked her under the table."
Gu Xirong said angrily, "I know that it was prepared by my mother-in-law to entertain my husband. She is proficient in playing various instruments and singing. My husband kicked her like that without any mercy at all."
Xie Jin was furious. He glared at Gu Xirong and pinched her nose. "You are so heartless. Aren't you the only one in my heart? But you pushed me away."
Gu Xirong felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and Xie Jin really regarded her as the apple of his eye.
She truly felt the love and it was worth the effort she had made to get the marriage.
No wonder Gu Xiling lived such a good life back then. It was purely luck that she married a good husband like Xie Jin!
"My dear husband, please don't be angry. I know I was wrong!"
Xie Jin reached out and held Gu Xirong's hand. "You and I are husband and wife, we understand each other and have a common purpose. You are my good wife and a good match. I can't bear to let you down."
Ever since Gu Xirong showed that she could encounter certain things in her dreams, Xie Jin was more willing to coax Gu Xirong.
In this way, Gu Xirong will make plans for him even more.
He was able to be promoted so quickly thanks to Gu Xirong.
Hearing this, Gu Xirong smiled brightly, "Thank you for your love, my husband!"
Xie Jin thought for a moment, "Thanks to my wife's reminder, I was able to deploy in advance and achieve remarkable success."
"Given the current situation of my Xie family, it is extremely difficult for me to get promoted by myself."
"I wonder if my lady has had any warning dreams recently? If I become successful and have a high position and a good salary, I will definitely thank my lady."
Gu Xirong's eyes turned slightly, but she didn't say anything directly to Prince Ning, "My husband, I have been hesitating these past few days, afraid that you would misunderstand me and dare not say it."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jin immediately perked up, "My wife and I are one, sharing honor and disgrace. How could I misunderstand you? No matter what happens, I trust you."
Gu Xirong pondered for a moment, and tried to speak in a reasonable and watertight manner, "My dear husband, please pay more attention to the Changning Marquis's Mansion recently. I heard from Sister Xiling that the Changning Marquis favors his concubine Aunt Bai."
"She's just a concubine, what kind of trouble can she cause?" Xie Jin looked puzzled. He didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs in the harem. He wanted to know what was going on in the court and look for opportunities to make achievements.
Gu Xirong shook her head. "Of course, the affairs of the Changning Marquis's harem are not worth mentioning. But the Changning Marquis is the Minister of Rites, in charge of the affairs of dozens of surrounding foreign countries. His every move is highly watched."
"This dream was fragmented, and there was no complete process. There were only a few scenes, and it seemed that there were traces of the Kingdom of Yue. I don't understand these, and I can't figure it out. And it's related to the Changning Marquis Mansion. I was afraid that my husband would misunderstand, so I didn't dare to say it."
Hearing that this was Gu Xirong's dream, Xie Jin sat up straight, ready for battle. "If that's the case, I'll keep an eye on the Marquis of Changning Mansion and the Kingdom of Yue to see if there's anything wrong."
Gu Xirong secretly rejoiced, the good days of Changning Marquis Mansion would soon be gone forever!
Isn't Gu Xiling very capable? How dare you threaten her!
She wanted to see how Gu Xiling and the Changning Marquisate would escape from this predicament.
She couldn't wait to use Changning Marquis' Mansion to pave the way for Xie Jin's plan!
