Zhou Jin did not answer and drove his horse in front of the carriage.

That handsome face, which was as bright and clear as the moon, no longer had the carefree and joyful look of the past, but was instead cold and indifferent.

The sound of horse hooves tapping on the bluestone road also seemed to be tapping on Zhou Jin's heart.

Nanny Yuan did not dare to be careless and had a serious look on her face. She must not let the Crown Prince's wife be bullied today and lose the reputation of the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

At this time, Steward Gu had been waiting at the gate of Marquis Jingyang's Mansion. When he saw the carriage from Marquis Changning's Mansion arrive, he immediately asked someone to inform the Marquis and the eldest master.

Jingyang Earl Gu Hongzhen and his son Gu Chengze lifted their robes and hurried out to greet them.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the stool was put away.

Xiulan got off the carriage and helped Nanny Yuan get off the carriage, "Nanny Yuan, be careful."

Nanny Yuan patted Xiulan's hand gently and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiulan."

Afterwards, Nanny Yuan and Xiulan stood beside the stool and supported the elegant Gu Xiling, "Madam, please come in."

"Thank you!" Gu Xiling moved gently and stood steadily on the ground.

Just at this moment, the Xie family's carriage arrived.

The carriage of the Marquis of Changning's mansion was wide and large, and even the nails on the wheels were shining with brass gold. The body of the carriage was inlaid with gold, silver and jewels, and the curtains were exquisitely embroidered with brocade, and the edges were hung with tassels.

In contrast, the Xie family's carriage was just an ordinary carriage, gray, old and small.

However, the person driving the carriage was not the coachman, but Xie Jin.

The people haven't arrived yet, but the hearty laughter has arrived first.

"Father-in-law, brother, I'm late!" Xie Jin's voice was loud and his laughter was hearty, and the joy of his newlywed life was beyond words.

Everyone's eyes were on Xie Jin, the other new son-in-law of the Gu family, who had a slightly dark face, a full forehead, a square chin, and a sturdy build.

Only Gu Xiling did not turn her head. She once thought that it was Xie Jin's masculinity. She admired Xie Jin's heroic spirit and gradually let go of her heart and accepted this man sincerely.

Who would have thought…

Forget it, that was all in the past life!

Whether Xie Jin is true or false, real or fake, it has nothing to do with her!

Compared with the reserved and aloof Zhou Jin, the eldest son of Marquis Changning, Gu Hongzhen, Earl of Jingyang, prefers the cheerful, heroic and enthusiastic Xie Jin.

Jingyangbo Gu Hongzhen stroked his beard, smiled and nodded.

The carriage stopped at the door. Xie Jin jumped off the carriage and gently opened the carriage curtain. "My wife, we are home."

"Thank you, my husband." Gu Xirong was sitting in the shabby carriage. After seeing Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin looking at each other with disgust, the resentment and regret in her heart suddenly disappeared.

Easy to ask for priceless treasures, rare lovers.

In this life, she was destined to become Xie Jin's treasure and the apple of his eye, and would eventually become the high and mighty Regent Princess.

Gu Xirong's slender hand fell into Xie Jin's palm. She lowered her head, her face shy, and leaned out of the carriage.

Xie Jin put one hand on Gu Xirong's back and the other hand on Gu Xirong's knee, and easily carried Gu Xirong out of the carriage.

Everyone can see that Miss Xirong and Mr. Xie have a very good relationship!

"Father, brother, sister, brother-in-law." Gu Xirong bowed after she stood firm, and immediately lowered her eyes after meeting Zhou Jin's gaze.

From Zhou Jin's perspective, he seemed to be able to see Gu Xirong's grievances.

Gu Xiling pursed her lips and smiled slightly. Gu Xirong was such a disgusting woman.

Gu Xirong might not want to have her eyes on the pot while having her cake and eat it too, but she wanted to sow discord between her and Zhou Jin and didn't want her to have an easy time.

Zhou Jin has been in a state of confusion ever since Gu Xirong appeared, especially when he saw Xie Jin carrying Gu Xirong out of the carriage, he unconsciously clenched his fists.

Gu Chengze knew that Gu Xirong and Zhou Jin had been in love with each other before, but now they were not destined to be together and it was awkward for them to meet. "Sisters, your sister-in-law is already waiting at the second gate. Brothers-in-law, please come in."

Jingyangbo Gu Hongzhen smiled and said, "Yes, please come in."

"Yes, father." Gu Xiling and Gu Xirong responded at the same time, and their eyes met.

"Please come in, sister!" Gu Xirong's pretty face had a bit more charm of a new wife, and her eyes were full of pride.

So what if Gu Xiling married into the Marquis of Changning’s Mansion?

Once you enter a marquis's mansion, it's like entering a deep ocean. A woman without her husband's favor is like a rootless duckweed, helpless and without anyone to rely on.

The Jingyang Marquis' Mansion was a noble family to the Xie family, but it was far inferior to the Changning Marquis' Mansion at that time.

The Gu family might give their daughter some help in getting married to the best of their ability, but they would never offend the Changning Marquisate and support it.

How could Gu Xiling not see the pride and provocation in Gu Xirong?

"Thank you, sister." Gu Xiling was too lazy to be humble. She smiled slightly and stepped onto the stairs with the help of Xiulan.

The smile on Gu Xirong's face froze, and she really didn't give her, her sister, any face at all.

She chased after him, her tone a little more playful, "Sister is beautiful, I guess she is very favored by the prince, right?"

Gu Xiling smiled and finally understood why Gu Xirong had a good hand in her previous life but played it so badly!

How broad-minded and far-sighted can a woman be who always keeps talking about a man's pampering?

"I can't compare to my sister. I can win my brother-in-law's heart so quickly!" Since Gu Xirong cared about these things, Gu Xiling deliberately lowered her posture to make Gu Xirong more proud and even more arrogant!

Sure enough, when Gu Xirong heard this, she shook her head, which was covered with pearls and jade, proudly, and said in a hypocritical comfort, "There is a long way to go, and good days are still ahead, sister!"

Gu Xirong deliberately emphasized the words "good days"!

Seeing the two girls from the Gu family coming, Qin, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, smiled and greeted them, "My two sisters are here. Mother has been waiting for a long time."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Gu Xiling and Gu Xirong greeted.

The group arrived at the main courtyard of Jingyang Marquis's mansion. The maids and nannies around the two men were invited to have tea and did not follow.

When Gu Xiling and Gu Xirong just stepped over the threshold, Madam Gu threw the teacup in her hand directly at their feet. Her face was gloomy and she shouted sternly, "Kneel down!"

Gu Xirong had always been well-behaved. She knelt on the ground with a plop, and her humble attitude was very appropriate. "Take care, mother. I, the unfilial daughter Xirong, know I was wrong!"

Mrs. Gu nodded slightly when she saw Gu Xirong acting like this. She also said that the fault was not hers. "It's good that you know your fault! From now on, whether you are a daughter of the Gu family or a wife of the Xie family, you must be polite and courteous, and don't lose face."

"Yes, mother. Xirong will follow your teachings." Gu Xirong kowtowed again and endured the humiliation. When she gained the power, she would avenge today's shame.

At this moment, Gu Xiling stood with her back straight, looking dignified, graceful and elegant.

"Rebellious girl, you stole the dowry list, disobeyed your parents, framed your sisters, and made mistakes again and again. Why don't you kneel down and admit your mistakes?"

Gu Xiling bowed her head and said, "Mother, you are wrong. I have done nothing wrong. The Marquis of Changning Mansion has sent a generous dowry, and the dowry must also be generous."

"The dowry list was originally prepared for the person who married into the Changning Marquis' Mansion. I can't cheat and replace it just because I'm the one marrying into the Changning Marquis' Mansion."

"Since Sister Xirong is crying and shouting that she wants to marry into the Xie family, then it is reasonable to give her a dowry according to the corresponding betrothal gift of the Xie family. There is no reason to use my dowry!"

In her previous life, she married into the Xie family with those flashy and pitifully few things, and her situation was particularly difficult.

She had suffered in the past, so why should she let Gu Xirong, who had taken everything from her, have her way now?
