After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

At that time, Aunt Xu was chanting with her eyes closed in front of the Buddha statue. When she heard the report from her confidant, she suddenly clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand.

Gu Jin actually made another contribution?

Her shoulders slumped slightly, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Has the master replied?"

Ever since the last assassination attempt failed, Aunt Xu felt more and more that she could not keep Gu Jin any longer, but the letter she sent fell on deaf ears.

“The master only said that Xie Ran has been investigating very closely recently, and our people have been disbanded by the master.

The master also said not to touch Gu Jin for the time being, as he had other uses for Gu Jin."

"Understood, back off."

After the servants left, Aunt Xu stood up from the cushion, raised her hand and smashed the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue to the ground.

"I worship you all day long, but you can't even get rid of a little Gu Jin. How dare you enjoy the incense!"

Aunt Xu's eyes were red, she no longer looked as gentle and delicate as before, and now she looked like a demon.

She has been under house arrest in the courtyard, and the Marquis has only come once. If she doesn't go out again, the Marquis will really forget about her.

She had been going smoothly for so many years, but she didn't expect that she would fall victim to a little Gu Jin.

No, she had to think of a way.

Aunt Xu was going crazy in the room. The maid came back. Aunt Xu looked over with sharp eyes and a ferocious expression. "What else?"

The maid was startled, but she still smiled and said, "Auntie, good news, the eldest young mistress is pregnant!"

"really?"

Aunt Xu was delighted and immediately smiled towards the sky.

"Well, God has helped me. This child came at the perfect time!"

It turned out that after Gu Rou was vomited by Xie Qing, she was worried that something was wrong with her body, so she went to see a doctor. It turned out that she was already one month pregnant.

Gu Rou was suddenly overjoyed and forgot all her jealousy and resentment towards Gu Jin. All that remained was the joy that this child brought her.

She finally became pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Marquisate before Gu Jin!

Gu Rou felt a little uneasy as she touched her still flat belly. She didn't dare to say anything but sent a message to Li Mansion and Aunt Xu first.

Gu Rou caressed her belly with loving eyes and murmured, "You must strive to be a good person and make sure you have a son. Then the whole Yongchang Marquisate will be yours."

……

Jiang family.

Jiang Fengqi came to pay his respects to Madam Jiang, and when he entered the room he saw Aunt Hui was also there.

When Hui Niang saw Jiang Fengqi, she quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, "Hello, Miss."

Mrs. Jiang glanced at Hui Niang and was quite satisfied with her attitude.

Hui Niang is the new favorite of Mr. Jiang. She was originally a prostitute in a brothel who was good at singing and dancing and was also very charming.

At Mrs. Jiang's age, she no longer would be jealous of her concubine, especially since the concubine was just a lowly prostitute.

Hui Niang was a gentle person and was very respectful to Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang treated her as a toy in the backyard and never made things difficult for her.

Jiang Fengqi nodded to Hui Niang and said hello, then asked, "Mother, what is it that you called me here for?"

Mrs. Jiang had a smile on her face and seemed to be in a very good mood. She glanced at Jiang Fengqi and said, "Fengqi, you are a good kid in every way, but you don't have enough experience and you can't judge people accurately enough."

Jiang Fengqi frowned slightly, not understanding what Mrs. Jiang meant.

Madam Jiang smiled and said, "You may not know yet, but Gu Jin actually resold the autumn exam questions in order to make money. Now a student has filed a complaint with the emperor. This time she will not escape death!"

Mrs. Jiang just felt relieved that the little bitch could finally stop jumping around!

"Mother, there must be some misunderstanding here. Ajin is not that kind of person." She admitted that Gu Jin loved money, but Gu Jin's wealth was earned in a legitimate way, and she would never do such a thing.

"What's impossible? Prince Yu said this himself, how could it be false?"

Jiang Fengqi pursed her lips and said nothing. In fact, in her heart, between Prince Yu and Gu Jin, she would rather believe the latter.

She knew from a young age that she would marry Prince Yu when she grew up, but she had never developed the kind of heart-pounding feelings for Prince Yu as described in the storybooks. She only knew that he was her future husband and she had no choice.

But Gu Jin was the friend she chose herself.

Jiang Fengqi was about to defend Gu Jin when someone suddenly ran in hurriedly.

When they heard the voice, several people looked over. Mrs. Jiang frowned and said, "Qing'er, why are you here instead of studying in the study to prepare for the autumn examination?"

When she learned that the disabled Jiang Yu actually wanted to take the imperial examination to win the old man's favor, she gave Jiang Qing a death order that if he failed to pass the imperial examination this year, all his monthly salary would be cut off.

Jiang Qing is the eldest son of the family, and he should be the heir to the Jiang family in the future. However, Jiang Qing cannot endure hardship and is greedy for pleasure. His literary talent is not as good as Jiang Yu or even Jiang Zheng from the second house.

"Mother, I..." Jiang Qing didn't know whether it was because he ran too anxiously or for some other reason, his lips turned pale and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Mrs. Jiang frowned even more when she saw him lose control of himself. "What happened? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Just as Jiang Qing was about to speak, Jiang Fengqi spoke first, "Aunt Hui, you must be tired from paying respects, so go back and rest first."

Aunt Hui was just listening with great interest, but since Jiang Fengqi had spoken she couldn't stay and stay. She secretly cursed Jiang Fengqi for being nosy, but on the surface she could only stand up and leave respectfully.

After leaving Madam Jiang's courtyard, Aunt Hui felt more and more strange. She turned her eyes and said to her trusted confidant: "Go secretly to find Zhenglang's servant and ask them to pay attention to Jiang Qing..."

On the other side, Mrs. Jiang asked impatiently: "What's going on? Tell me now!"

Jiang Qing fell to his knees with a thud, which scared Mrs. Jiang.

"Mother, my son was wrong. You must save him this time!"

Mrs. Jiang's heart skipped a beat. "You...what trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"

Jiang Fengqi's eyes moved slightly and he had a guess in his heart, "Did brother also buy the test questions?"
