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

The old lady scolded angrily, "Today I went to Suiyang Marquis's Mansion to enjoy the flowers and drink tea with a few old sisters. Everything was fine, but just after lunch, someone reported to me what happened in the court. You have lost all my face!"

"You two bastards, if you have anything to say, can't you talk about it at home? You actually went to the court and embarrassed yourself. If you continue to kill your father and son, I will kill you directly, and I will also slit my neck and die."

"Get out of here and go to the ancestral hall right now. No one is allowed to enter. You and your son should reflect on your mistakes in front of the old marquis and your ancestors. If you don't repent, you will stay kneeling inside and don't embarrass yourself outside."

Song came over and urged, "My Lord, Jin'er, why don't you hurry to the ancestral hall?"

When Gu Xiling learned that the old lady was furious when she came back from outside, she guessed what was going on.

She was very smart. This was a matter of the imperial court, and she guessed that the old lady of Changning Marquis would not hit the Marquis and Zhou Jin. There was only one punishment, which was to kneel in the ancestral hall.

So she just asked Xiulan to deliver two plates of snacks and a pot of hawthorn water to the ancestral hall in advance.

Just as Gu Xiling expected, she is so virtuous!

Gu Xiling came close to Zhou Jin and said, "Sir, there is a food box under the table in the ancestral hall."

Zhou Jin was stunned, "Madam, did you prepare this?"

"Keep your voice down." Gu Xiling reminded, "This is a good opportunity to review the recent actions with the Marquis."

"Yes!" Zhou Jin agreed, "Madam, don't worry, I'm fine."

"I'll go and persuade grandma. Don't worry, grandma." Gu Xiling comforted her in a soft voice, which was very virtuous and kind.

At this time, Zhou Jin felt that Gu Xiling was not just pretending, and she was indeed very virtuous at the moment.

Marquis Changning became even more angry when he heard his son and daughter-in-law muttering behind him.

When I arrived at the ancestral hall, I knelt on the cushion.

Lai Fu and Lai Bao were guarding the yard and no one was allowed to get close.

I haven’t had dinner yet, but my stomach is rumbling.

He wanted to scold Zhou Jin, but Marquis Changning’s stomach was rumbling, and his morale was gone in an instant!

"Tell me why you are going against me. Don't you know that I am doing something big?" Marquis Changning asked in a low voice.

Zhou Jin's expression was indifferent, a little lazy, "I don't want to humiliate the reputation of Changning Marquis' Mansion. My grandfather fought on the battlefield and died on horseback. The title of Marquis' Mansion was won by a heroic hero. We cannot let it be humiliated by you and me."

"Although my father and I have joined the army and are not strong enough to threaten the imperial power, my Changning Marquisate must do what is worthy of the name 'Changning'. Even if you hit me, I will still insist. As for the consequences, I don't care."

Changning Hou Zhou Jin was filled with rage, but after hearing his son Zhou Jin's words, his anger instantly subsided as if he had drunk mint tea.

Not only did it put out the fire in his heart, but he also felt that there was a successor to the Changning Marquisate.

"Thanks to our ancestors, my Jin'er has grown up." Marquis Changning sighed and looked up at the ancestral tablets.

Zhou Jin was stunned. He didn't expect that not only was he not scolded, but he also received his father's recognition and praise. "Father, I'm glad you don't blame me. But why did you mention the marriage with the Kingdom of Yue?"

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze replied: "The other party asked for this, and this is my token of surrender, as long as I can make it happen. Originally, I had to go through a lot of trouble to make it happen by marrying a Han woman, but I didn't expect that your trick of getting the Yue Kingdom to send a princess as a marriage partner would make them immediately set their sights on it."

"Just now, their people contacted me and asked me to help the Yue Kingdom marry the princess to the prince. Once successful, the mastermind behind it will meet me in person to discuss big things."

When Zhou Jin heard this, he took a breath and said, "Your Majesty...Does Your Majesty know?"

Marquis Changning replied: "I have reported this to Jinlinwei, and your majesty is aware of it. We are just waiting for the mastermind to show up, and then we will capture the leader first."

"That's good. The whole family won't be executed!" Zhou Jin breathed a sigh of relief and recovered. "Father, it's a little difficult for the Princess of Yue to marry the Crown Prince, but it will be easier for Your Majesty to take her into the harem. In the past, the surrounding foreign countries often sent beauties to Your Majesty."

Marquis Changning's eyes lit up and he stroked his beautiful beard, "That's great!"

After talking to his father, Zhou Jin felt even hungrier. He lifted the tablecloth and took out a food box from under the table in the ancestral hall.

Zhou Jin smelled the fragrance coming out and felt even hungrier. "Father, eat something quickly."

Marquis Changning was shocked. "You are preparing food here?"

"Xi Ling prepared this for me. I guessed that my grandmother would punish us by making us kneel in the ancestral hall." Zhou Jin replied, "Don't worry, these are freshly prepared snacks. Let's offer them to our ancestors first, and then we can eat. It won't be considered offensive."

Marquis Changning was hungry and didn't care about this matter anymore.

The Changning Marquis' Mansion is facing a major crisis at this time. If they don't have enough to eat, how can they deal with those who are eyeing them covetously outside?

The father and son placed the snacks in the food box on the altar, knelt down and bowed, and then began to eat.

One plate was the red bean cake that Marquis Changning liked, and the other was the hibiscus cake that Zhou Jin liked, and they were served with a pot of hawthorn water to relieve the greasiness.

After eating snacks, I no longer feel hungry.

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze looked at his son with an increasingly kind look and patted Zhou Jin's shoulder.

"Jin'er, you've grown up. You and Xiling are one and the same. If you have any questions outside, you can ask me. If I'm not here, you can discuss it with your wife."

"As for your grandmother, she is old, so don't let her worry. As for your mother, she has been arrogant all her life, so she doesn't have that many schemes and can't help you. The one who can share your burden is your wife."

Zhou Jin was now fully aware of Gu Xiling's intelligence and cleverness, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes, father. After being with Xiling, I realized that I had so many shortcomings. Although Xiling sometimes made me so angry, it was mostly my fault."

Marquis Changning nodded, "Being able to recognize one's own shortcomings and having self-awareness is already better than many people."

When he reached the age of forty, Marquis Changning understood the true meaning of the saying "It is important for a person to know himself."

Song and Gu Xiling dined with the old lady in the main courtyard and persuaded her constantly before she finally agreed.

You have to kneel until midnight before you can go back to rest.

In the evening, Zhou Jin was supported by Lai Fu and returned to Zizhuyuan with stiff knees.

Gu Xiling had already prepared a medicine bag and put it on Zhou Jin's knees for a warm compress, "My Lord, you have suffered."

"My wife!" Zhou Jin couldn't help but feel distracted when he saw Gu Xiling, who was wearing a middle-length shirt and had a slender and graceful waist, massaging his knees.

His hands are very naughty.

Gu Xiling reached out and hit Zhou Jin, then raised her eyes and said coquettishly, "You don't want your knee anymore?"

Zhou Jin retracted his little hairy hand, patted his knee, and hugged Gu Xiling tighter and tighter, "To die under the peony flowers, to be a ghost is also romantic. It's just a knee, I can bear this little pain!"

Seeing that Zhou Jin was going to use force, Gu Xiling also wanted to be a playboy, but she couldn't bear to see Zhou Jin's knee get injured.

Zhou Jin has a great figure, from her hair to the soles of her feet, it's all hers.

Gu Xiling didn't allow Zhou Jin to not take care of his body, so she stretched out her fingers and pressed the acupoints near his knees.

"It hurts... it hurts..." Zhou Jin kept begging for mercy, but he still didn't let go of her hands, "My wife, it hurts~~"

Zhou Jin nestled in Gu Xiling's neck, murmuring with a sweet ending of coquettishness, which made Gu Xiling feel half of her body numb!
