Xie Jin smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly, "After all, he is your brother-in-law. You can tell your sister that Yue State has bad intentions and is involved with Prince Ning. This is a serious crime. Tell the Marquis of Changning and his son to be more careful."

Gu Xirong was slightly stunned. She wished that Gu Xiling would be in trouble.

"Husband, in fact, the relationship between me and Sister Ling is really average! I believe you also know my background. Sister Ling has always felt that I have taken her place and she really dislikes me in her heart."

"If I say this, Sister Ling might think that I cursed her and that I can't see her well. Husband, if you are doing this for me, you don't have to. If you have other purposes, please tell me and don't hide it from me."

Xie Jin smiled, "Actually, I just want to do a favor for the Changning Marquisate. If they believe it, that would be the best. If they don't believe it, when they suffer a loss, they will know that our reminder is well-intentioned."

"Although both Marquis Changning and his brother-in-law Zhou Ze were civil officials, the deceased Marquis Changning was a military commander. He followed Taizu in his campaigns and was a great general who intimidated the three armies."

"Most of the soldiers under the old marquis are now capable of standing on their own. Although Marquis Changning and his brother-in-law Zhou Jin are no longer in the army, the Marquis Changning's mansion still has some ties with the army."

"I am a military general, and my foundation is relatively shallow. Although I am favored by Li Guojiu now, Li Guojiu's influence is only among the civil officials. I am a military general. Although I have obtained an official position, I have no followers. My foundation is not stable and it is difficult for me to achieve anything."

Hearing this, Gu Xirong suddenly realized, "So that's it! Although Sister Ling has embarrassed me many times and even looked down on me, for the sake of my husband, I am willing to endure the humiliation and please my sister."

Xie Jin felt more and more that Gu Xirong was sensible and was planning for him wholeheartedly, so he didn't care about losing money anymore.

He has power now and many ways to make money.

"My wife, that's so nice! You usually take care of me, today I will serve you." Xie Jin picked up Gu Xirong and went to the bed.

Xie Jin is now well versed in bedroom matters and has many ways to please women.

Gu Xirong was like a toy being played with. She cooperated with everything and was controlled by the sea of ​​desire woven by Xie Jin.

The rain kept pouring down.

Three days later, after Manager Xu cleared out the medicinal materials in his hands and deducted various costs, he only got 40% of the original cost.

Gu Xirong's heart was bleeding, and her face was grim. "Manager Xu, you and Manager Xie take the silver to the bank to pay back the money."

"Yes, Madam." Manager Xu was very cautious. He thought he would be scolded today, but he didn't expect that the Madam only asked him to pay back the money and did not punish him.

Actually, it’s not his fault.

Manager Xu had long suggested to the young lady that she should sell these herbs quickly, but she was too greedy.

Now, I only have more than half of my original capital left. It’s a huge loss.

After paying back the money house with interest, only three hundred taels of silver were left.

Gu Xirong's eyes turned red as she looked at the silver she had received. This was all that was left of her dowry, so she could forget about redeeming it.

The more Gu Xirong thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she decided to go to Changning Marquis Mansion.

She sent Xiuzhen to the Changning Marquis's Mansion to deliver a visiting card.

Gu Xiling was quite surprised when she received the invitation from Gu Xirong saying that she wanted to visit her.

She had done it very covertly, even choosing to only recognize the correct cards and not the people when stocking up.

Thinking of Gu Xirong's difficult delivery, Gu Xiling felt quite troubled.

Since she was visiting, Gu Xiling also wanted to find out about Gu Xirong's true strength.

I replied to Xiuzhen on the spot, "Xiuzhen, please go back to Xie's house and tell Sister Rong that I will be waiting for her at home tomorrow."

Xiuzhen bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, Madam Crown Prince."

Gu Xiling nodded and looked at Xiulan, "Reward."

Xiulan took some golden melon seeds from the house, gave two to Xiuzhen, and one to each of the others.

Xiuzhen bowed again, "Thank you for the reward, Madam Crown Prince."

Gu Xiling nodded and smiled gently, "I have always been generous and trustworthy."

This one sentence made Xiuzhen feel completely at ease.

Two years later, the Crown Prince's wife rescued her from the Xie family and took her away from that hellhole.

The next day, Gu Xirong, with an empty wallet, had no good jewelry and could only wear light makeup. Her temperament was like a chrysanthemum, and she was no longer as gorgeous and charming as before.

Xiulan, on behalf of Gu Xiling, greeted Gu Xirong outside the second gate of Changning Marquis's Mansion, "Thank you, Madam. Please come this way!"

"Thank you, Xiulan. By the way, where is Xiuzhu?" Gu Xirong asked softly. Xiulan had no intention of climbing into bed, but Xiuzhu did.

In a wealthy place like Changning Marquis Mansion, how could one remain silent?

Xiulan smiled and replied, "Madam Xie, Xiuzhu has another errand."

"Thank you for coming to pick me up." Gu Xirong smiled reservedly, "Reward!"

"Yes, Madam." Xiuzhen took out her purse which contained two taels of silver.

She had served Gu Xirong for so long, but when she arrived at the Xie family, she only received a monthly salary and no reward money.

"Thank you for the reward, Madam." Xiulan thanked, "Please follow me, the Crown Prince's wife is waiting."

When they arrived at Zizhu Garden, Gu Xirong laughed before she even showed up. "Sister Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

Gu Xiling was surprised. Gu Xirong was so enthusiastic and must have some ulterior motive.

She stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Rong is worried about me, I am not bad. But I am not as radiant and proud as you."

Gu Xirong narrowed her eyes slightly, "You are making fun of me, right? I have been losing money in business recently, how can I be so proud?"

Gu Xiling was surprised, with doubt in her eyes, "If we talk about business, isn't it the medicinal herbs from before? The price was so high before, with Sister Rong's foresight, how could it not make money?"

Gu Xirong was stunned. Could it be that Gu Xiling really didn’t know?

Forget it, I know how, so what if I don’t know?

Her purpose was to plan military support for Xie Jin. The Changning Marquisate had a deep foundation and did not require any military forces.

If he could establish a good relationship with the Marquis of Changning's mansion, and have the Marquis of Changning introduce him or guarantee him, Xie Jin would surely be able to rise rapidly in the military.

"Let's not talk about those mundane things. I came here today to remind Sister Ling of something important. Please let the servants go out immediately. I will talk to you alone."

Gu Xiling was curious, could Gu Xirong be so kind?

"You all should go down. I haven't seen my sister for a long time. I miss her very much. I have a lot of private things to talk about."

The corner of Gu Xirong's mouth twitched. She was very good at speaking with her eyes open, but Gu Xiling's skills were not bad either!

The maids all went downstairs, leaving only Gu Xiling and Gu Xirong in the room.

Gu Xiling personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Xirong, "Sister Rong, drink some tea, and we'll talk slowly if you have anything to say."

Gu Xirong picked up the cup, took a sip, put it down, and gently wiped the corners of her lips with the handkerchief.

"Sister Ling, you should have heard last time that Aunt Bai had ill intentions towards the Marquis. My husband accidentally learned that the mastermind behind Aunt Bai was the Kingdom of Yue, and..."

Gu Xiling pretended to be stunned, "What else? Sister Rong, you can't say half and leave the other half."

Gu Xirong pondered for a moment, dipped her fingers in the tea, and wrote two words on the table: "Prince Ning". "Did you see it?"

Gu Xiling saw it, and Gu Xirong quickly wiped it with a handkerchief, "This is a serious matter, and you must not act rashly. My husband is worried about the Changning Marquis's Mansion, so he specifically asked me to tell the Marquis that you must not take it lightly."

"If you need help, my Lord, and can use my husband, please let me know. We are all relatives, and we should help each other."

Gu Xiling pretended to show an expression of disbelief, "Sister Rong, are you so kind to me?"

Gu Xirong spoke righteously and felt extremely aggrieved, but she encouraged herself that she had to endure humiliation now in order to soar to great heights in the future.

"Sister Ling, that's wrong! You and I compete with each other from time to time, but that doesn't change the fact that we are sisters from Jingyang Marquis's Mansion."

"We are on good terms. I have a wife of a prince, who can become the sister of the marquis' wife in the future, which is very respectable. There is no benefit in being enemies. Am I such a fool?"
