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

Gu Jin had previously searched Fengwu Courtyard and did not see any calligraphy or paintings, so she went directly to Zhao's courtyard.

The original owner had never seen her biological mother Zhao, but only heard from Liu that her biological mother was a country girl. The two fell in love when Anding Bo led his troops to war. In order to marry her, Anding Bo almost split up the family and set up a new one.

At that time, many people said that Anding Bosse was stupid, as a lord like him was willing to marry a country girl.

Zhao might have felt very inferior because of her poor background. She usually never went out of the house and even chose the most remote place in the mansion as her yard. She rarely interacted with outsiders except the Marquis of Anding.

Fortunately, Zhao's courtyard was preserved. After so many years, no one was willing to move here.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, and some of the weeds along the wall were even taller than a person.

The door of the room had long been damaged by insects. When Gu Jin pushed the door lightly, it fell down with a "bang", raising layers of dust.

"Madam, what are we doing here? Are we going to pack up all the valuables and move them away like we did last time?"

Wu Mu's mouth twitched. What on earth do this master and servant do on weekdays?

"You two, help me see if there are any calligraphy or paintings here."

The house is extremely simple and can be seen at a glance. There is almost nothing inside except some worthless ornaments.

It seems that the original owner's mother did not have a good life before. The room of the lady of the noble house was so simple. Only the rosewood bed looked decent.

Gu Jin knocked on the bedside casually, without any intention, but he found that there was nothing behind the wall, "There is a secret compartment here."

"I come."

Wu Mu stepped forward, knocked twice, and found a mechanism in a hidden corner. "It's open."

"Oh, that's awesome!" Gu Jin gave Wu Mu a thumbs up.

Ebony pursed her lips, thinking that the praise was a bit too direct.

Gu Jin thought there would be something valuable inside, but in the end, the huge secret compartment only contained a necklace with animal teeth hanging on it, and the workmanship was very crude.

"This looks like the teeth of a wild beast!" Ruyi tilted her head and looked at it carefully.

Ebony replied, "This is wolf's fang."

"How do you know? Have you ever seen a wolf?" Ruyi had a little hostility towards Wumu, because she had the power not to change his name.

Ebony pretended not to hear and did not comment.

"Why don't you say anything? Have you seen it or not?"

Ruyi kept chattering questions around Wumu, but Wumu remained cold and indifferent.

Gu Jin carefully looked at the wolf fang in his hand. Although he was not sure what the wolf fang was used for, he believed that since it was carefully preserved by the Zhao family, it must have something special about it.

Gu Jin was about to go back home, but Li, who must have heard the news that she was going back to the Bo Mansion, came to look for her.

Gu Jin heard that she had been frightened and fell ill before, but although she looked much thinner today, she seemed to be in good spirits.

"It's Second Aunt. I heard you've been suffering from insomnia and dreaminess lately. Are you feeling better now?"

Li looked at Gu Jin with resentment. The bodies of those men must have been thrown into her room by Xie Ran, which scared her half to death.

She just let those men spread some gossip about Gu Jin, why did they go to such lengths.

Li suppressed the anger in her heart, and a hint of pride appeared on her face.

"When you are happy, you feel refreshed. You are feeling much better now." Li looked Gu Jin up and down, and finally stopped her eyes on Gu Jin's flat belly. "You have been married into the mansion for several months, why is there no movement in your belly?"

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow, "Gu Rou is pregnant?"

Looking at Li's slightly surprised expression, Gu Jin was speechless. If Gu Rou didn't have a child, how could Li specially come to her and mention this matter.

"Congratulations. Second aunt, you must do good deeds in the future and not do anything that is harmful to the world. After all, everything is for the children!" Gu Jin said earnestly.

Li wanted to say something sarcastic to Gu Jin, but the other party's attitude made it impossible for her to show off.

Gu Jin was about to walk away, but suddenly stopped when he thought of something. "Second Aunt, do I look like my mother?"

Li was stunned, somewhat confused, and nodded subconsciously.

More than just alike, they were like two peas in a pod. That was why she hated Gu Jin so much.

In fact, her family originally wanted to arrange a marriage for her with the Earl of Anding, and she would be the Lady of the Earl of Anding as soon as she got married.

Who would have thought that the fool Anding Bo would actually bring a woman back from the countryside and insist on marrying Zhao as his wife.

She was also very ambitious at that time and wanted to enter the mansion to suppress Zhao, so she chose to be the second wife of the Anding Marquis's Mansion.

But who would have thought that when she married into the Bo's mansion with great ambition, Zhao Shi did not compete with her at all. She did not even get involved in the housework. She only tended to the flowers and plants in her own yard every day, which made her feel no sense of accomplishment.

What made her even more uncomfortable was that Zhao was so beautiful that she could even understand why the Earl of Anding chose Zhao.

And the Earl of Anding and Zhao were extremely affectionate. Even after Zhao became pregnant, the Earl of Anding never touched another woman.

Zhao's happiness made her jealous and hateful. Fortunately, God had mercy on Zhao and made her die early. Her daughter was also raised to be useless by herself.

The only flaw was Gu Jin's increasingly beautiful face, which made her feel extremely upset every time she saw it.

After getting the answer he wanted, Gu Jin didn't stay any longer and left with Wumu and Ruyi.

Li realized it later and said in confusion, "What on earth is this little bitch up to? Why is she suddenly interested in Zhao's affairs?"

She glanced at the Zhao family's dilapidated yard, and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief with a look of disgust, "It's really unlucky."

If she can defeat Zhao, Rouer can naturally defeat Gu Jin as well.

Just wait and see, this Yongchang Marquis Mansion will belong to Rouer sooner or later!

As soon as Gu Jin returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he was invited to Songhe Hall.

Gu Rou was wearing a peach pink tube-top dress with a light cherry-colored wide-sleeved shirt on the outside. She looked very happy, and the resentment between her brows finally disappeared.

Seeing Gu Jin coming in, Gu Rou supported her waist and slowly stood up, stroking her belly and said with a smile: "Big sister is back."

Gu Jin looked surprised, "Oh, is my second sister about to give birth?"

Gu Rou glanced at Gu Jin and said unhappily, "Big sister, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm only one month pregnant."

"It's only been a month. I thought you were already ten months pregnant when I saw that my second sister was having trouble moving."

Gu Rou was so angry that she choked, but when she thought about the fact that she was the first to get pregnant with the Marquis's child, the unhappiness in her heart disappeared.

"I didn't expect I was pregnant until I felt sick and went to see a doctor."

Although Mrs. Huo didn't like Gu Rou very much, she was still happy to hear that she was pregnant. She was willing to have four generations living together. "You young people just don't take care of your bodies. You must be careful in the future. You must be careful about your food, clothing, housing and transportation, and never touch cold things."

Mrs. Huo rewarded Gu Rou with many supplements and also took out a big jade ruyi from the bottom of the box, intending to protect her and her child's safety.

Su, as her stepmother, had to express her gratitude, so she gave her a few pieces of cloth and a box of unused pearls, which made Gu Rou so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Gu Rou looked at Gu Jin again and said with a smile, "Big sister, do you have any gifts for me?"

Gu Jin thought about it seriously and realized that every penny she had was useful, so she really couldn't give any to Gu Rou.

"My younger sister is now a twin, so she needs two more people to take care of her. Why don't I bear the pain and give Amber and Liuli to my second younger sister?"

"You should keep them for yourself as soon as possible!" Gu Rou blurted out. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled and said, "What I mean is, how can I take away someone else's favorites? Amber and Liuli were given to Big Sister by Concubine Wan. I can't overstep my authority."

It was obvious that those two vixens were restless, and Gu Jin had no good intentions.

Gu Rou's eyes moved slightly, and she curled her lips and said, "Big sister should also put it on the agenda as soon as possible, so that our two children are about the same age and can play together in the future."

"If second sister is worried that the child has no playmates, you can quickly find a few more concubines for eldest brother, so that he can have many brothers and sisters to keep him company." Gu Jin suggested sincerely.

Gu Rou looked at Gu Jin pitifully, with an aggrieved look on her face, "Big sister, are you feeling bad because you see that I'm pregnant?

It's all my fault for not thinking it through. We married into the Marquis' Mansion on the same day, but you haven't made any move yet. I was inevitably anxious at the moment, so I apologize to you."

Gu Jin was amazed in his heart, this Gu Rou must be a histrionic personality, how come she is so good at acting!

She curled her lips slowly and smiled like a spring breeze, "Second sister, what are you talking about? I am really happy for you.

It's just that the general thinks that I'm too young and worried that my body can't handle it, so he wants me to have a child two years later. So he's afraid that he can't let my second sister get what she wants, so he suggested that you choose two concubines for your eldest brother. You mustn't think too much about it."

Gu Rou is younger than Gu Jin, and Gu Jin's words were like a slap in the face.

Gu Rou: “…” She was pretending again.

Mrs. Huo also said, "Jin'er is not a stingy person. You are pregnant, so don't worry too much."

Gu Rou agreed on the surface, but in her heart she hated Huo for being partial.

As they were talking, the Xu family came to pay a visit with gifts...
