After a while, Gu Xirong sighed, "Yes, Sister Ling has helped me a lot. Xiuzhen, what do you think would have happened if I had married into the Changning Marquis's Mansion?"

Xiuzhen was stunned and shook her head. "I am stupid and don't know. In fact, the general is not bad. Although his family is not rich, your life has been better since the old lady passed away."

"Now the Xie family is small, and there is no mess in the backyard. The general is now highly valued and down-to-earth, and he will surely be promoted step by step in the future. You should send people to find the jade mine and earn more silver, which is the right thing to do."

"With the money, your family will gradually become richer. Plus, the general will be promoted step by step. In the future, you can give birth to a few more young masters and train them well. In the future, people in the capital will line up to envy you!"

Gu Xirong's originally depressed mood instantly improved after hearing Xiuzhen's description of life.

What's the use of complaining?

Even if Gu Xiling died, could she become the Crown Prince's Consort of the Marquis of Changning?

Obviously not!

If I gave up back then, I gave up my whole life.

No matter how good Zhou Jin is, it’s not because of her that he becomes good, and it’s even less likely that he belongs to her.

In this case, we should think of ways to get more benefits from Gu Xiling and have more children. There will always be one who can become successful and strengthen the Xie family.

This is the home she and Xie Jin built, and it belongs to her for the rest of her life.

Gu Xirong looked at Xiuzhen, looked her up and down, and found that Xiuzhen was smarter than she thought.

"Xiuzhen, you have been with me for so long and have always been my right-hand man. Why don't I ask the general to take you in as his concubine so that you can stay by my side forever?"

Xiuzhen was stunned when she heard this. She was so frightened that her back went cold. She immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My lady, I know I was wrong. But I am loyal to you. I have never thought of being your maid, let alone a concubine."

"I am by your side, and I know that the general only has you in his heart, so I dare not have any extravagant hopes. If the young lady wants to keep me by her side, please marry me to the son of Manager Xu. In this way, I will become the manager's wife in the future, and I can still continue to serve the young lady."

Xiuzhen follows Gu Xirong. She can’t say that she understands her completely, but at least she knows that he is testing her.

If she had any thoughts about Xie Jin, she would have died a miserable death.

Seeing that Xiuzhen was so understanding and wanted to marry Manager Xu's son so that she could continue to help her in the future, Gu Xirong also felt it was a good idea.

It seems that she was right about Soo-jin, she is a decent person.

Seeing that Gu Xiling never arranged a maid or concubine for Zhou Jin, Gu Xirong no longer wanted to pretend to be virtuous.

Since Xie Jin didn't mention it, she pretended not to know. Anyway, her mother-in-law was dead and would not interfere in Xie Jin's bedroom affairs.

Unlike Wang Shiwen’s old mother, who often traveled thousands of miles to send two beauties to her son.

"Forget it. Since you don't want to, I won't force you. You've been serving me for so many years, and I'll make you happy. But when did you fall in love with the son of Manager Xu?"

Xiuzhen knows too many secrets of Gu Xirong, so Gu Xirong will never let her go.

Since she couldn't be Xie Jin's concubine, the only option she had was to marry the steward.

Several of the managers are elderly, and the most capable manager, Xu, has a son of the same age.

It seemed that Manager Xu's wife often pulled her over to chat, try to get close to her, and even praised Xu Guang in front of her.

Xu Guang is good-looking and down-to-earth in his work and personality. Xiuzhen has already considered him seriously.

But before I had the chance to tell Gu Xirong, I was shocked by Gu Xirong's test today.

"Before, Manager Xu broke his leg. Xu Guang often came to our house to report on behalf of his father, Manager Xu. We got to know each other after a while. Miss, please help me."

"Of course, Miss, please ask them first if they are willing. If they are not willing, I will not force them. Miss, please point me to a reliable one. I am here to thank you, Miss!"

Based on Xiuzhen's understanding of Gu Xirong, as long as she is not coveting the general, she will agree to her request for the sake of their past relationship as master and servant.

As expected, Xiuzhen's guess was correct. Gu Xirong smiled and said, "Okay, you have been serving me since you were a child. Now you want a marriage, I will decide for you."

"As my personal maid, it is an honor for the Xu family to fall in love with the son of Manager Xu. There is absolutely no reason for the Xu family to refuse. Just wait for your marriage with peace of mind."

"Although the Xie family doesn't have that much money, we can still prepare a decent dowry for you. Marrying you off in style will also complete the relationship between us as master and servant."

Xiuzhen thanked, "Thank you, Miss. It is my blessing to be able to serve you. Even if I get married in the future, I will be your housekeeper and serve the young master."

Gu Xirong nodded, very satisfied with Xiuzhen's attitude.

If Xiuzhen is wishful thinking and wants to become Xie Jin's concubine, Gu Xirong will also help her.

However, how long she can remain a concubine, haha, is unknown.

After all, few greedy concubines have a good ending.

Gu Xirong was originally in a low mood, but after careful comparison, she found that apart from not marrying into a wealthy family, there was actually nothing wrong with her now.

She gave birth to a son, and Gu Xiling gave birth to a daughter.

Zhou Jin is devoted to Gu Xiling, and Xie Jin is also devoted to her.

If the mine is opened immediately, there will be a lot of silver, and there will be no worries about spending the silver. Gu Xirong feels that nothing will go wrong.

After Zhou Jin saw Gu Xiling fall asleep and told the servants to take good care of her, he hurried to the yamen.

I came here in a hurry just now and there are still many things to do!

Go back and finish it quickly, and go home early today.

As soon as he arrived at the government office, Yuan Zhen hurriedly asked, "How is my sister-in-law?"

Zhou Jin was in high spirits and spirits, "Mother and daughter are safe. The weather is cold now and the baby is too young to hold a big banquet. When the baby is one month old, I will host a banquet at home."

Wang Shiwen was delighted when he heard that Zhou Jin had given birth to a daughter. He also had a daughter. "Congratulations, Brother Zhou! Congratulations, Brother Zhou!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Zhou Jin said with a smile, sat down and continued to handle official business.

Zhou Jin was fully focused and extremely efficient. He finished the task half an hour earlier than usual and hurried back.

Originally, Wang Shiwen was planning to go out of the city today, but when he thought of his daughter and stepson at home, he decided to go home.

It’s okay to play with women outside, but the wife and children at home are the real concern.

After Yuan Zhen returned home, he said to Liu Sanniang, "Sanniang, Brother Zhou has a daughter. He is going to host a banquet for us to celebrate the full moon. But for the third day bath, you should prepare some things and send them over."

Liu Sanniang nodded, "I have just personally sent over the tonics, and I have also prepared the things for the third day of the lunar month. In Qingshui County, only our four families can travel with confidence, so we must show our support."

After hearing what his wife said, Yuan Zhen held her hand and said, "My wife is virtuous, which is my blessing. It was all my fault before. I promise to treat you well in the future."

Liu Sanniang smiled, tears welling up in her eyes, "Okay, I believe my husband."

At this moment, Liu Sanniang was even a little grateful to Honglian Langjun for giving her a disabled but devoted husband.
