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

"How is this possible?" Gu Xirong stood up from her chair with a thud, her face full of disbelief.

Manager Xu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, even on his neck.

"More than half of the medicine shops in the capital were out of medicinal materials and had already closed down. But this morning, all of them were open, with gourds hanging on their doors."

"Now many people go there to see a doctor and get medicine. A packet of medicine only costs thirty cents, less than half of what it used to cost."

"I asked someone to check. The medicine shops that were closed before now have medicinal materials available at low prices. The medicine shops that used to sell high-priced medicinal materials are now deserted."

Not only that, ordinary people have long been disgusted with those who drive up drug prices, and they spit and curse at the doors of those drug stores when they pass by them.

Yesterday the price was five to six times the original price, but now it is only half of the original price.

Manager Xu came over yesterday to persuade Gu Xirong that it was time to take action.

But Gu Xirong said there was no rush and the price could still go up.

Now, not only has the price not increased, it has dropped so much.

They sell medicinal herbs, and the storage costs are high. Although they won't lose all their money, they will still lose a lot of money.

Gu Xirong's expression changed drastically. "Are all the medicine shops selling herbs at half price now?"

Manager Xu nodded and said, "Yes, Madam. Not only that, I heard that the villages outside the city also provide free medicine."

Gu Xirong frowned and thought for a moment, "Do you want to find out who got the herbs?"

Manager Xu shook his head. "I don't know where the herbs come from, but I know that these pharmacies are assigned by the government to sell the medicines, and they are not allowed to raise prices, otherwise they will be severely punished."

Gu Xirong still didn't believe it, so she went to check it out in person in a carriage in the rain.

Seeing this, Gu Xirong felt cold in her heart, and immediately ordered Manager Xu, gritting her teeth, "Get rid of all the herbs as soon as possible."

If I don't sell them now, these medicinal herbs will be a waste of money.

"Yes, Madam!" Manager Xu agreed and hurried to buy the herbs at a low price.

Gu Xirong sat in the carriage in a daze, unable to believe that this was true.

That's obviously not the case!

In my previous life, the prices of medicinal materials were still high in autumn. How could they drop in price now?

After all, it is rainy now, making it difficult to transport medicinal materials, and some roads have been washed away by water, making medicinal materials a scarce commodity.

Gu Xirong pinched her thigh hard, the pain was so severe that tears were about to flow out of her eyes, "No...it's not like that."

Where is the problem?

Suddenly, the carriage passed by the Treasure Pavilion. Gu Xirong thought of the last time she met Gu Xiling. Gu Xiling mentioned medicinal herbs. Could it be that Gu Xiling was behind this?

Gu Xirong asked someone to investigate where the sudden increase in medicinal materials in the capital came from. It was just as Manager Xu said, they didn't find out who it was, but they found out that they came from Tongfu Warehouse.

Tongfu Warehouse only recognizes the brand name, not the person, so no one knows who stored the items there.

Gu Xirong suspected it was Gu Xiling, but she had no evidence at all.

Xie Jin was on business outside and returned from the military camp after a busy day.

He would specifically inquire about the prices of medicinal herbs every day. Today's prices almost made Xie Jin fall off his horse.

Xie Jin's face changed drastically. He didn't even bother to go back to the yamen and went straight home.

"My dear, why did the price of medicinal herbs suddenly drop so much? Didn't you say in your dream that the price could rise up to seven times?" Xie Jin was not only worried about Gu Xirong's dowry, but also worried about the money he had to borrow from the bank.

Gu Xirong couldn't figure it out either. Now that Xie Jin came back to question her, she felt guilty, "Husband, this is exactly what happened in the dream. Could it be that my dream was incomplete?"

Xie Jin frowned, his face gloomy, and gradually calmed down.

Seeing this, Gu Xirong became nervous and choked up while crying, "Husband, I'm sorry, I...I didn't want this to happen. I will never talk about my dreams again in the future, so as not to mislead my husband."

Although Xie Jin felt sorry for the lost money, in Gu Xirong's dream, it rained continuously and there was too much rain outside the city, which had submerged the crops.

In addition, Gu Xirong also said that the Kingdom of Yue and the Marquis of Changning had made peace. He had investigated some clues, so they were not completely wrong.

Xie Jin didn't want to lose Gu Xirong's "dream" and couldn't scare Gu Xirong.

He held Gu Xirong's hand, hugged her, and said slowly: "Xirong, we were too greedy this time. If we had acted earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

"Don't say the dream is incomplete. Even our memories will be forgotten after a while. This is not your fault. Don't be sad."

Gu Xirong lay in Xie Jin's arms, choking with sobs, her heart aching, "Husband, what should we do with the money?"

How could Xie Jin not feel distressed?

He had a sharp look in his eyes and thought of a way to make money.

"My dear, please sell all the herbs as soon as possible and pay back the money owed to the bank first. As for the financial difficulties at home, I will find a way."

After hearing this, Gu Xirong finally breathed a sigh of relief, "My husband is so kind. You didn't blame me! I have been crying since I got the news this morning and I couldn't sleep or eat."

"It is Xirong's great fortune to marry you. I will serve you even more attentively in the future. But I am a bit stupid, so I will leave it to you to decide in the future."

Hearing this, Xie Jin smiled and said, "My wife has feelings for me, and I am already satisfied. How can I blame her?"

"Money is something outside of one's body, so there is no need to care too much about it. My Xie family was in decline before, but now my Xie family is no longer the same as before."

"Leave the money to me, and you can just enjoy your life at home! If you have any dreams, tell me the truth."

Gu Xirong showed a timid expression and took the opportunity to distance herself from the matter.

"But my dreams are incomplete. Who knows whether those fragments are good or bad? I am worried that those dreams will mislead my husband."

At first she had been certain about her past life, but now she was not so sure.

Xie Jin smiled and pretended not to care.

"It is said that believing in books is worse than having no books at all. Dreams are just dreams after all. They are just a sign, a hint."

"When we encounter something, we still need to use our brains to think and analyze, rather than relying entirely on dreams."

Hearing this, Gu Xirong looked at Xie Jin tenderly, "My husband is indeed a peerless hero, extremely smart, and never complains even when he encounters difficulties."

Xie Jin was flattered by Gu Xirong and was in a good mood. "A good man should have lofty ambitions. It is useless to complain about the world. If my lady is bored at home, you can go to the Changning Marquis's mansion as a guest."

Hearing this, Gu Xirong was slightly stunned, "Husband, have you found anything wrong with the Changning Marquis' Mansion?"

Xie Jin nodded, "My wife's previous reminder is indeed correct. Yue State has indeed made peace with the Changning Marquis's Mansion. Otherwise, why would the Changning Marquis be so busy helping the Yue State Princess marry to Kang State?"

Gu Xirong also wanted to go to Changning Marquis Mansion to inquire about Gu Xiling's medicinal materials.

If she is sure that Gu Xiling did it on purpose, she will never let it go.

"Husband, what should I say? What result do you want?"
