Gu Xiling had a fake smile on her face. "Sister Rong, you are absolutely right. You and I are both leaving Jingyang Marquis's mansion, so we should really help each other. Thank you for the reminder, Sister Rong. I will report to the Marquis when he comes back in the evening."

Gu Xirong said some lies about helping each other, but Gu Xiling didn't believe a word of it.

If Gu Xirong was furious and said those words to her in a cold and stern manner, perhaps they were true.

The one who can make Gu Xirong so humble must have great ambitions.

Gu Xirong's expression was solemn. "This is the news my husband got from Uncle Li. It is absolutely true. You must let the Marquis and the Crown Prince remember it and never take it lightly. Prince Ning, whoever gets involved will be doomed."

Gu Xiling nodded, this was indeed true.

In order to paralyze Prince Ning, the Changning Marquis's mansion was filled with chaos.

"Sister Rong, that's right." Gu Xiling agreed. Seeing that Gu Xirong spoke to her in a friendly manner, although she had other purposes, Gu Xiling could be sure that Gu Xirong did not know that the loss of money on medicinal materials was because of her.

That's good.

If Gu Xirong knew about this, this crazy woman would definitely not let it go.

The two sisters were hypocritical and chatted awkwardly for a while.

Gu Xirong proposed to visit the wife of Marquis Changning and the old lady, but she went there and didn't see them.

Old Madam Song made no secret of her dislike for Gu Xirong.

Gu Xirong looked embarrassed and said, "Sister Ling, everyone thinks it is incomprehensible for me to marry into the Xie family, but I know it in my heart. I am the fake lady of the Gu family, and you are the real one."

"In fact, I also want to marry into the Changning Marquis's Mansion. Who wouldn't envy a family with wealth and status, a family of scholars and scholars? I can't compete with you for such a good marriage. You grew up in the countryside and feel wronged, but can I bear such a gap?"

Gu Xiling was shocked that Gu Xirong, who was so strong-willed, actually showed weakness in front of her.

Gu Xiling didn't dare to be careless anymore!

"Sister Rong, didn't you say before that you fell in love with General Xie at first sight?" Gu Xiling looked puzzled, wanting to believe it but not daring to.

Gu Xirong smiled bitterly, "Sister Ling, if I don't say that, will Zhou Jin give up? Can I gain a foothold in the Xie family? I don't want to owe my grandmother, I don't want to owe Jingyang Bo's Mansion, and I don't want to owe you."

"After all, the Gu family did not pursue the guilt of my biological parents and did not drive me out of the Gu Mansion. This is already a great favor. I dare not go too far and take over the magpie's nest."

Gu Xiling frowned, "Every time I see my sister being sarcastic to me, I think she is unwilling to marry into the Xie family!"

Gu Xirong sighed quietly, eyes full of envy, "It's a lie to say that I'm willing. Not only do your two mothers-in-law above you not cause trouble for you, they also love you very much. You don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"But look at me. Hey, except for my husband, I am relatively reliable. My mother-in-law is really annoying. She makes rules all day long and stuffs women into my husband's room. Compared with my sister, my life is really miserable, but I don't regret it."

"This is my fate, I accept it. Sister, please don't be hostile to me in the future. I have already paid back everything I owe you."

Gu Xiling was shocked again. In order to make her let down her guard, Gu Xirong did not hesitate to expose the family's dirty laundry.

Since Gu Xirong was so devoted to her performance, it would be really ungrateful of her if she didn't cooperate.

"It turns out that I misunderstood Sister Rong. Fortunately, Sister Rong is now favored by General Xie, otherwise I would be uneasy."

Gu Xirong nodded, her face filled with happiness. "The Prince of Changning is not bad either. He loves my sister very much. Your relationship has not been affected because of me."

"Today I have a frank talk with my sister about this incident, hoping that we sisters can put aside our past grudges and respect and love each other."

Gu Xiling nodded and smiled, "Sister Rong and Brother-in-law Xie took the risk to send me the news. I am very grateful in my heart, and I naturally accept Sister Rong's kindness."

Seeing that Gu Xiling was not as aggressive as before, Gu Xirong felt relieved but also a little confused.

Gu Xiling was persuaded by just a few words?

Gu Xirong nodded, "Although Uncle Li is my husband's superior, we are relatives. How can we just sit back and do nothing when we receive such important news?"

Gu Xiling pretended to be touched, "Sister Rong, I must have offended you before, please forgive me. If this is true, I will definitely come to thank you."

Gu Xiling once said in front of her mother-in-law that she would cross the river by feeling the way of "Gu Xirong". It was not just talk, but the truth.

In her previous life, she married into the Xie family, so at this moment, she had no qualifications to participate in the struggles among the upper class.

Afterwards, he went to the border, far away from the center of the fighting, and knew little about what was happening in the capital.

But Gu Xirong is different!

Even though Zhou Jin was demoted and sent to serve as an official in another place, Gu Xirong despised the poor and remote places and brought the children back, most of whom stayed in the capital.

Gu Xirong not only knew about the affairs of the Changning Marquis Mansion, but also knew many big and small things happening in the capital.

Now that Gu Xirong has come to her and wants to make friends with her, Gu Xiling will certainly not turn her away.

Go with the flow and use it to her advantage.

For example, this time, if it weren’t for the news from Gu Xirong, the Changning Marquisate would be in a very passive position and might even be unable to recover.

Gu Xirong's goal today has been achieved. Even if Gu Xiling disliked her before, she was willing to be friendly with her for the sake of the Marquis' Mansion.

She suppressed the upturned corners of her mouth. Even after being reminded like this, if the Changning Marquisate still couldn't get out of it and was still stuck in the quagmire, then it could only be said that the Changning Marquisate was doomed and could not escape.

This incident is a good opportunity to win over close friends at the Changning Marquisate.

She put a lot of effort into helping Xie Jin become the regent, and Xie Jin must have sympathized with her hard work.

This pair of real and fake sisters, one is false and the other is hypocritical.

They all had smiles on their faces and were full of calculations.

After having lunch here, Gu Xirong said goodbye and left.

Gu Xiling even sent Gu Xirong to the second gate and said goodbye to her reluctantly.

After returning to Zizhu Garden, before Gu Xiling could catch her breath, Xiuzhu hurried in.

She was almost dying of anxiety this afternoon.

"Madam, Miss Xirong wished you dead when she was in her boudoir. How could she change her temperament and reconcile with you after marriage?"

"I think Miss Xirong must have some ulterior motive, and it's a big one! You are kind-hearted and have never experienced the secrets of the backyard. You can't be fooled by Miss Xirong's few nice words!"

Others might be deceived by Gu Xirong's appearance, words and behavior, but Xiuzhu, who has served Gu Xirong for eight years, knows her very well.

Xiuzhu no longer had any hope of climbing into the bed of Zhou Jin, the son of the Marquis of Changning, and she also knew that she could not match the superb skills of Aunt Bai. After much thought, she set her sights on the son's friends.

Therefore, Xiuzhu hopes for the betterment of the Changning Marquisate more than anyone else, and hopes that Gu Xiling's position will be secure so that she can fulfill her promise.

Xiulan also echoed from the side, "Madam, please be cautious. You can only listen to Madam Xie's words, but don't believe them completely. If she didn't have other motives, it's impossible for her attitude to change so much."

Gu Xiling chuckled and took a sip of tea. "You guys have ulterior motives. Of course I know what she has in mind. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Don't hit a smiling person. She acted, and I acted too. It's okay as long as it looks good on the surface."
