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

Seeing that their master was not fooled, Xiuzhu and Xiulan both breathed a sigh of relief.

As a maid who had served Gu Xirong for many years, I knew her too well.

The more magnanimous, dignified and kind a person appears to be in public, the more narrow-minded, crazy and vicious he is in private.

They felt so comfortable working for the Crown Prince's wife.

All you have to do is complete the tasks the Crown Prince's wife tells you to do. The Crown Prince's wife never loses her temper with her servants.

The maid who swept the yard cleanly was rewarded by the Crown Prince's wife.

The embroiderer made beautiful clothes, so the Crown Prince's wife gave her a reward.

……

Of course, those who make mistakes will be severely punished.

In short, merits must be rewarded and mistakes must be punished.

Everyone feels comfortable doing their job, without having to endure the master's unprovoked anger.

"Madam, you are thoughtful and you should not be hated by me." Xiulan replied, "You didn't take a nap today. I will help you change clothes and rest for a while."

Gu Xiling looked up at the gloomy sky above her head, "It looks like it's going to rain again, and I don't know when it will be sunny again."

"Don't worry, Madam. We are fully prepared," Xiulan consoled. "I heard from Brother Laifu that the river was cleared in time this year. Although the water level has risen and some farmlands have been flooded, many places can drain water in time, so there shouldn't be a total loss. Your Majesty is wise and has mobilized a lot of medicinal herbs. The people have medicine, and the epidemic has not spread. It has been contained."

When Gu Xiling heard this, she secretly sighed, because those were the herbs she had spent 40,000 taels of silver to buy.

She has already made so many arrangements in advance. If it still cannot alleviate the disaster, then she can only say that destiny cannot be defied.

Gu Xiling took a nap and when she opened her eyes, the room was dark.

"What time is it?" Gu Xiling asked. She felt like she hadn't slept for very long. How come it was dark already?

Xiulan stepped forward and answered, "Madam, it is now the afternoon. It is dark because it is going to rain heavily again."

Just as Gu Xiling walked to the door, big raindrops hit the ground with a crackling sound.

After a while, a curtain of rain hung between heaven and earth.

Gu Xiling was bored, so she found her old notebook and started flipping through it out of boredom.

The guy named "Yunshan" is so lazy that he hasn't written the second volume of "Du Chunfeng" yet.

It was not until dark that the Marquis returned home, but the Prince did not come back.

Gu Xiling was worried and came to the main courtyard.

Marquis Changning saw Gu Xiling and said, "Jin'er went to the farm. He was worried that the crops of the foreign countries would be drowned."

"So that's how it is. My husband had to be busy with official business and didn't tell me in advance. It made me really worried." Gu Xiling spoke with concern.

Mrs. Song was of course happy to see that Gu Xiling cared about her son Zhou Jin, "Jin'er did something wrong. I will definitely teach him a lesson later."

"Thank you, mother." Gu Xiling thanked, "The prince has done many things that make me unhappy, and your daughter-in-law is going to complain to you. Maids and servants, please go down."

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze and Song looked at each other and knew that there was news about their daughter-in-law again.

Song's face was gloomy. "Everyone, go down. I want to hear what stupid thing that brat has done again!"

After the others left, Gu Xiling lowered her voice and quickly answered, "Father, today Madam Xie came to the mansion and told me that Xie Jin discovered the collusion between the Changning Marquisate and the Kingdom of Yue, and also discovered the collusion between the Kingdom of Yue and the Prince of Ning. She specifically told us that the Prince of Ning was the mastermind behind this matter without telling Uncle Li."

Song frowned slightly, "Is Gu Xirong so kind?"

Marquis Changning stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "I don't know whether Xie Jin hid this from Uncle Li. He is a military commander, and he must have some ulterior motive in revealing this news to me."

"Although Jin'er and I are both civil servants, our Changning Marquisate is promoted based on military merit. In order to avoid the tragic ending of being too meritorious to be the master, the old man did not allow me to join the army. If I cannot pass the imperial examination, I will become a rich man."

"My father asked a great scholar to teach me. I was quite gifted in studying and luckily I passed the imperial examination and became a civil servant. I was able to keep the Changning Marquisate. The same was true for Jin'er, who did not join the army."

"Although my father has passed away, most of his subordinates back then are capable of taking charge of their own affairs and commanding a large number of troops."

Hearing this, Gu Xiling's eyes lit up, "I know! Father, Xie Jin wants to show his goodwill through this. Whether we can escape this disaster or not, we will accept his kindness."

"Then he can legitimately use the foundation of our Changning Marquisate to pave the way for his career in the military and rise to the top."

Changning Hou nodded, "That should be the case."

Gu Xiling pondered for a moment, "Father, now not only do we know that Prince Ning is the mastermind, Xie Jin knows, and maybe Uncle Li also knows, so there is no need to keep him 'fishing'."

"The evidence is solid. After we catch Prince Ning on the spot, this matter has nothing to do with our Changning Marquisate. Otherwise, more and more people will be involved, and the longer the night, the more trouble we will have. If it is out of our control, there may be changes."

Song also agreed with Gu Xiling's words, "This Xie Jin is very ambitious, and Uncle Li is not impartial! They both have ulterior motives, and they may even use our Changning Marquis Mansion."

After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, Marquis Changning agreed, "I understand! I'm sorry for making you worry, but this matter will be over soon."

After saying this, Marquis Changning slammed the table and yelled at Song, "These are all good sons you raised! Bastard!"

After saying this, Marquis Changning left in a huff. He did not even stay in the main courtyard to rest on the first day of the lunar year, not giving face to the Marquis' wife, Mrs. Song.

Song and Gu Xiling, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, looked at each other and smiled secretly.

During this period, everyone in the family has become a drama queen!

Marquis Changning came to Lanyuan in a huff, thinking that he would have to wait a few more days before he could see Xiao Cui.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Cui had already been waiting in Aunt Bai's room.

"My lord, there will be several carts of things tomorrow. Please bring them into the city." Xiao Cui gave the order directly, without any politeness.

Changning Marquis Zhou Ze asked: "What is it?"

"Some self-defense weapons." Xiao Cui did not hide it. If they were ordinary things, they would not need them at all.

Marquis Changning refused directly, "I'm sorry, I can't obey your order!"

When Xiao Cui heard this, her face changed drastically, "My Lord, aren't you afraid that the poison will set in without an antidote?"

Marquis Changning remained calm and snorted coldly, "I have already pledged my loyalty, but I have not met the person who is planning to do something for me. I am a marquis, holding a high position, and this is related to the entire mansion, the prince who is about to lose his head, so I must be cautious. Otherwise, I would rather die of poison than drag the mansion into the mire and fall into the abyss."

Xiao Cui smiled when she heard this, "Don't worry, my Lord. The things we brought in this time are meant to be given to the master. When the time comes, my Lord, you can go and see the master in person, and you will naturally know how noble and wise the master is."

"Are you serious?" Marquis Changning was skeptical.

"Really? The master also wants to have a drink with the Marquis and discuss important matters together." Xiao Cui replied. Originally, the master wanted to test the Marquis of Changning again by delivering the things this time.

As long as Marquis Changning can deliver the things in, the master will meet Marquis Changning.

Three days later, Marquis Changning personally left the city and escorted the weapons disguised as cargo into the city.

When he saw the weapons in the box, Marquis Changning's pupils shrank slightly, he took a breath, and a chill ran down his spine.
