Nanny Gu was slightly stunned and looked up at Gu Xiling. She didn't expect that Gu Xiling really agreed.

"Madam, this is a very difficult thing! Can you do it?" Nanny Gu couldn't help asking. In fact, she guessed in her heart that this might be Madam, the Crown Prince, trying to "paint a cake to appease Xiuzhen."

Gu Xiling could guess what Nanny Gu and Xiulan were thinking.

"Yes! I won't lie to anyone, especially those who work for me. Just like when Xiuzhu worked for me, I knew she was restless, but I still brought her here."

Nanny Gu and Xiulan thought about it carefully and realized that the Crown Prince's wife had never made things difficult for Xiuzhu.

Even when the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince had a bad relationship, Soo-joo couldn't help but seduce the Crown Prince and try to climb into his bed.

The Crown Prince's wife did not stop him, nor was she angry.

But the prince was different from others. He hated the maid who climbed into bed on her own initiative, and even had Xiuzhu beaten with twenty sticks.

Even though Xiuzhu's injuries had healed, the bones in her lower body became sore and swollen when the weather changed.

Although the prince is a little stupid when it comes to love affairs, he is still a gentleman. No wonder his wife is willing to make plans for him.

Xiulan admired, "Madam, your promise is as good as gold. I am blessed to have a master like you in my previous life."

Gu Xiling chuckled, "Master and servant, we are the master and the servant. You can't expect a servant to be loyal just because of a contract. You need to let me, your master, make you live a good life. Only then will you be willing to work for me."

"If I were untrustworthy, full of lies, moody, and would beat and scold servants at will, I would not be able to gain their loyalty, and no one would sincerely work for me. I have always been clear about this."

"I use both kindness and severity. I reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes. I clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. This is how I rule my subordinates. You will follow me for a short time, and you will understand it in the future."

Nanny Gu became more respectful. She was old and it was time for her to consider the issue of retirement.

"I am forty-three years old this year. I will have a master like the Crown Prince's wife to rely on in the future."

Gu Xiling chuckled, "You can choose any of my farms for your care in the future."

Nanny Gu thanked him again and again, and worked even harder for Gu Xiling. She was very tactful, saying what she should say and never saying what she shouldn't say.

Nanny Gu knew that the Crown Prince's wife was concerned about the affairs of the Xie Mansion. She used the money given by Gu Xiling to bribe not only the maids around Gu Xirong, but also the maids and servants around Madam Xie.

Madam Xie is poor and stingy, and she is a mean person. How could she be nice to her servants?

Servants are also human beings. When they are desperate, they sell themselves as slaves to get something to eat and avoid starvation.

Those masters only give their servants a few small things and expect them to be loyal and work hard for them. It is really difficult.

Gu Xirong wanted to reward the servants, but she had too little money and the Xie family asked for money everywhere, so she was reluctant to do so.

The weather in June is like a baby’s face, changing in an instant.

The weather was sunny, then dark clouds gathered and heavy rain began to fall.

Dark clouds loomed over the capital city.

Gu Xiling raised her head and looked outside. The storm was brewing again and troubled times reappeared.

Xiulan came in from outside holding an umbrella, and saw the Crown Prince's wife's empty eyes that seemed to be able to see through the void.

"Madam, the Marquis is suffering from a strange disease and his whole body is swollen and painful. The news has spread all over the mansion and Doctor Su is helpless."

Gu Xiling came back to her senses after a slight pause, "Go visit the eunuch in the main courtyard."

Xiulan looked worried, "The Marquis is not in the main courtyard, but... in Aunt Bai's Orchid Garden."

"This..." Gu Xiling was stunned and immediately decided, "Let's go to Lanyuan."

But when Gu Xiling arrived at Lanyuan holding an umbrella and wearing wooden clogs, she saw the old lady rushing out from inside in a menacing manner.

"Xi Ling, you are not allowed to go in."

"Since they are inseparable, then don't separate them in the future. Use a rusty lock with a rotten key. Lock it tightly and don't let it harm others."

Song was silent. "Xi Ling, go back. If you can't persuade them, then don't do it. Anyway, their activities can only be in Lanyuan. It's fine if they don't come out to annoy us."

"Grandma, mother, take care of yourself. But how is father-in-law's health?" Gu Xiling asked.

The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "They can't die! Everyone, go back, no one is allowed to come here! They want to live their own lives, and they want to die together. From now on, go in and out through the northwest corner gate, and don't come out to offend my eyes."

Seeing that the old lady and mother-in-law had left, Gu Xiling looked back at Lanyuan a few times, then went back to Zizhuyuan in the rain holding an umbrella.

Nanny Yuan was worried, "Madam, aren't you worried at all?"

"I am worried, but it is not my turn to take action!" Gu Xiling raised her eyes. A few days later, Marquis Changning returned to Lanyuan, which showed that everything was ready.

Nanny Yuan lowered her voice and whispered, "I have to say, Aunt Bai is really good at this. Although she is not presentable, it wouldn't be a bad idea to learn a few more tricks to control men."

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam, for thinking of me and hoping for my well-being. Thank you for your hard work, Madam."

Listen to what she said. The Crown Prince's wife agreed with her words, but she was a daughter-in-law after all, and it was inappropriate for her to ask about her father-in-law's bedroom affairs.

"It's also the Crown Prince's wife's fault. I hope everything goes well for the Crown Prince's wife!" Nanny Yuan agreed. She inquired privately, hoping that the Crown Prince's wife could learn more so that she could use it in the future.

The Crown Prince likes the Crown Princess now, but what about in the future?

But a man's heart is like the sky outside. Nothing is eternal and unchanging. It can change at any time.

At this time, Lanyuan.

Although it is still morning, thick dark clouds are pressing down overhead, as if the thirty-third floor of the sky has collapsed.

Lightning split the sky, and heavy rain poured down from the cracks, hitting the bluestone slabs heavily.

Marquis of Changning Zhou Ze was lying on the bed, feeling pain all over, and his body was red and swollen.

Aunt Bai threw herself on the bed, tightly grasped the hand of Marquis Changning, and asked anxiously, "My Lord, what happened to you?"

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze shook his head with difficulty and gently scratched Aunt Bai's palm with his fingers, "I have contracted a strange disease, and the doctor doesn't know how to treat it. I... I may not make it."

Aunt Bai was a smart person. She realized it was a pretense and continued to act, "My Lord, please don't leave Youlan behind! I'll ask the old lady to find another doctor for you and I'll make sure you get well."

"My Lord, you must hold on. Youlan can only count on you! If anything happens to you, I will die."

Just as Aunt Bai was crying, a maid came in with tea.

This person was none other than the plain-looking Xiao Cui. She quietly approached and carefully observed Marquis Changning, and was completely relieved. The symptoms were exactly the same as those she had drugged.

This was already her third mission. She was very familiar with the symptoms of poisoning and was definitely not wrong.

She also believed that Bai Youlan had no choice but to cooperate with her, so Xiao Cui was full of confidence.

Marquis Changning is already in her hands and can be used by her.

Xiao Cui put the tray on the table and walked to the bed. Her eyes were full of self-satisfaction and ridicule. She asked with a smile: "Marquis Changning, do you want to know what strange disease you have?"
