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

Zhou Jin felt relieved when he saw that Gu Xiling was no longer angry. He also became mischievous. “I was thinking about my wife. I came to pay my respects to her as soon as I woke up.”

Gu Xiling could feel Zhou Jin's change, although it was small, but over time, the change would become more and more, "Thank you, Prince, for thinking of me."

"You are my wife, how can I not miss you?" Zhou Jin began to understand Lai Fu's words and said, "My wife, what happened in the mansion?"

Gu Xiling lowered her voice and said solemnly, "Last night when we left Songhe Garden, the old lady not only beat the Marquis, but also had Aunt Bai beaten with ten sticks. The Marquis was not feeling well today, so he asked for leave from the government office and is recuperating at home."

Zhou Jin was amazed, "Grandma is so brave!"

Gu Xiling nodded, "Hurry up, let's go pay our respects to grandma, mother, and father-in-law."

Something happened at home, Gu Xiling can’t sleep in anymore!

Now that the game has begun, Gu Xiling must win, otherwise there will be no peace in the Changning Marquis Mansion.

When we arrived at Songhe Garden, we paid our respects to the old lady.

At this time, the old lady was walking in the yard with the help of her nanny.

This is a habit I developed on the farm. As long as it doesn't rain, I will walk around a few times.

"Jin'er, you see your father got into trouble at the age of forty, and I can beat him, let alone you. If you don't keep yourself clean, even if Xiling is reluctant to beat you, my cane is not for decoration, I will beat you without hesitation."

Zhou Jin quickly bowed and said, "Grandma is right. I will keep it in mind."

Gu Xiling looked at the old lady with eyes full of gratitude, "Grandma, you are the pillar of our Changning Marquisate, don't be angry. Grandma and the prince wish you a long life."

The old lady had a kind look in her eyes. It was Gu Xiling who discovered the crisis in Changning Marquis' Mansion.

In addition, Gu Xiling is a very thoughtful child.

If it were anyone else, they would have consummated their marriage last night.

But the situation at Changning Marquis' Mansion last night was indeed not suitable.

She understood her grandson, and Zhou Jin couldn't help it, but Gu Xiling stopped him and made Zhou Jin lose his temper.

With Gu Xiling in Changning Marquis' Mansion, the old lady feels that she can rest in peace even if she closes her eyes now.

"Okay, I'll try to live longer. Your mother-in-law must be sad, go and try to comfort her."

"Yes, grandma." Gu Xiling agreed and took Zhou Jin to the main courtyard.

Song was in a bad mood, so she didn't let Gu Xiling say anything more and let her go out.

Gu Xiling and Zhou Jin paid their respects to Marquis Changning, but they did not even see him.

Because Marquis Changning has no face. After all, he was knocked unconscious by my mother's stick yesterday and was slapped twice!

My face is swollen!

There was a five-finger palm print on each side of the face.

Marquis Changning secretly felt lucky that his son and daughter-in-law were not there yesterday, otherwise he would have been really ashamed.

When Zhou Jin and Gu Xiling were having breakfast, he looked grateful, "Xiling, thank goodness you pulled me away yesterday."

"Son, hurry up and do your job. Don't worry about the things in the mansion, I'll keep an eye on them." Gu Xiling chuckled and comforted Zhou Jin, "Now that Lord Huo has appointed you, it is enough to prove that your husband is a talented person. Not only can you write poems and articles in a grand manner, but you can also experience the worldly life in a small way."

"My lady is right." Zhou Jin was greatly encouraged when he heard this.

I suddenly felt that I could be of great use and had a bright future.

Lord Huo, the Minister of Agriculture, who had previously been cold and distant towards him, changed his previous neglect and began to pay considerable attention to him.

Zhou Jin was more interested in compiling agricultural books.

Walking in the morning light, Zhou Jin was full of energy and vigor, vowing to achieve results.

Not only does he want to bring honor to the family, he also wants Gu Xiling to feel that he is a very motivated man who is worthy of entrusting her life to.

Lai Fu looked at the prince, who was in high spirits and full of vigor, and felt deeply moved again.

The Crown Prince’s wife is so good at talking. With just a few simple words, she can make the Crown Prince become like a different person.

No wonder the old lady and the lady took so much trouble to marry the prince's wife. Not only does she have a good fortune, but she will also bring good luck to her husband and the family.

After Zhou Jin left, Gu Xiling returned to Zizhuyuan.

Nanny Gu stepped forward and said, "Madam, the news has spread to the Xie Mansion."

Gu Xiling nodded, with approval on her face, "Well done! From now on, tell Sister Rong what I ask you to reveal."

"If they don't tell you, don't steal! They're coming over here to get information. If you're not sure, you can come and ask me and reply with the answer I give you."

You can make money by gathering information from each other, and this is also one of the ways for servants to make money.

Because she gave a lot of silver, the servants around her could convey various information according to her ideas.

Gu Xirong was short of money and was a mean person.

If the maids and servants around him made any mistakes, they would be fined their monthly wages at the very least, or beaten with a stick at the worst.

Therefore, with the instructions of Gu Xiling, Nanny Gu spent a small amount of money and found out a lot of information about Gu Xirong.

"Madam, I have heard some news involving you, I wonder if I should tell you?"

Gu Xiling was startled, and thinking of Gu Xirong's style of doing things, she nodded and said softly, "Mammy, come and tell me this, we won't let anyone else hear it."

"Yes, Madam Crown Prince!" Nanny Gu agreed, walked to Gu Xiling's side, leaned over to whisper in Gu Xiling's ear, and carefully covered her mouth with her hand.

"Xiuzhen vaguely heard Miss Xirong talking to General Xie about Prince Ning, and asked General Xie to keep an eye on Prince Ning and Changning Marquisate. As for why she was keeping an eye on Prince Ning and Changning Marquisate together, Xiuzhen didn't hear it."

Gu Xiling's eyes flickered slightly and the corners of her mouth turned up.

How could Gu Xirong miss this opportunity to capture Prince Ning?

"Madam Gu, give Xiuzhen five taels of silver and tell her not to talk nonsense outside. If Sister Rong finds out, her life will be in danger."

Madam Gu agreed, "Don't worry, Madam Crown Prince, I have reminded her before. Xiuzhen is smart and knows the importance of things. Besides, Xiuzhen would like to ask Madam Crown Prince for a favor."

"Oh?" Gu Xiling looked suspicious. "She is Sister Rong's maidservant. She should ask Sister Rong for mercy. How can she ask me?"

Nanny Gu sighed, "Miss Xirong, is she the kind of person who would tolerate a maid ascending to a higher position? Moreover, General Xie is very fond of Miss Xirong and cannot tolerate anyone else. Even the skinny horse from Yangzhou that Madam Xie bought specially for her cannot attract General Xie."

"Xiuzhen has made a lot of money now. She wants to redeem herself and become a good girl in the future. She doesn't want to be a slave. If she brings it up, Miss Xirong might kill her. Xiuzhen doesn't dare to bring it up at all."

Gu Xiling's eyes were filled with surprise. "Then I can't do anything. Xiuzhen is Sister Rong's personal maid. If I ask for Xiuzhen, she probably won't be able to leave Xie's house alive."

Nanny Gu continued, "Xiuzhen saw that you used a trick to take Xiuzhu and Xiulan away from Miss Xirong, so she knew that you are resourceful. Xiuzhen is willing to be loyal to the Crown Prince's wife in exchange for your help in regaining her freedom."

Gu Xiling tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingers, her brows slightly furrowed, as she reviewed the "chess game" in her mind.

After a while, Gu Xiling's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth curled up. She thought of a solution.

"Madame Gu, when you see Xiuzhen, tell her that I will give her freedom within two years. Maybe it won't take even two years. Tell her to be careful with her words and actions and wait for good news."
