Shen House.

Gu Zhiyin got off the carriage, and the servant guarding the gate immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings to the Madam, may I know which family you are from?"

The Shen family had never seen Gu Zhiyin before, but seeing the exquisite carriage and Gu Zhiyin's gorgeous clothes, they guessed that she was of high status.

"My master is the Princess of Ming County, from the Prince of Pingyang's residence."

Upon hearing this identity, the servant's face suddenly changed, and he knelt down and said, "My servant is short-sighted, please forgive me, Princess."

Gu Zhiyin would not argue with the servants about this: "Get up, is your Third Young Master's wife here?"

"Yes, yes." The servant stood up and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Princess, please come in."

The servant led Gu Zhiyin to Gu Jinse's yard. Looking at the familiar scenery around him, Gu Zhiyin felt cold in his heart.

Someone else went to report to Shen's mother.

Gu Zhiyin entered the yard, and all the maids and servants in the yard knelt down and saluted her. Gu Jinse's dowry maid Haitang heard the sound and hurried over from the house.

"I pay my respects to the Princess of the County. May the Princess of the County be well and healthy."

There was a hint of joy in Haitang's voice when she greeted him.

Gu Zhiyin nodded: "I came to visit my second sister."

"Princess, please come this way." Haitang made a gesture of invitation and led Gu Zhiyin into the house.

It was still the familiar house, but it was more exquisite and luxurious than the one she lived in in her previous life. The antique shelves were filled with priceless treasures, and the gauze curtains were made of moon-shadow gauze, which showed how much Jiang loved her own daughter and she wanted to give her everything she had.

In his previous life, Gu Zhiyin didn't have this treatment.

Everything she had later on was earned by herself.

Gu Jinse was half lying on the couch, covered with a thin blanket. When she saw Gu Zhiyin come in, she didn't show any intention of getting up, which made Haitang anxious by winking at her from behind.

Master, please stand up and pay your respects. The eldest lady has finally come here, so shouldn’t you take this opportunity to put some pressure on the people in this mansion?

Don't make the young lady angry and leave, otherwise it will be troublesome.

Gu Jinse ignored Haitang's gaze. She knew in her heart what it meant to her that Gu Zhiyin came to the Shen Mansion to see her.

But why?

She had finally been able to live a new life, but on the day of her wedding, she snatched away the husband who originally belonged to Gu Zhiyin. She was destined to trample Gu Zhiyin under her feet. How could she be willing to bow to Gu Zhiyin?

I am just in a temporary low point now. When Shen Linzhou becomes a general, I will be able to become a lady of honor because of my husband's status.

Gu Zhiyin looked at the jealous and unwilling look in Gu Jinse's eyes and sneered in her heart.

She knew Gu Jinse's thoughts very well.

But she never understood that although Shen Linzhou was capable, his wife Gu Jinse was always a drag, either offending the Duke of Huguo or the Concubine De. Under such circumstances, even if Shen Linzhou had amazing talent, no one dared to use him.

It was so naive of Gu Jinse to think that she could just sit back and wait for the imperial edict from the Marquis's wife to fall upon her head without any effort!

"How do you feel now, second sister? Is it hard to be pregnant?" Gu Zhiyin sat down on the official chair, looked at Gu Jinse, and asked with a smile.

Haitang quickly ordered someone to serve tea.

Gu Jinse rolled her eyes and said expressionlessly, "Stop being so hypocritical. I've been pregnant for more than a month, and you just came to visit me. Who are you doing this for?"

Gu Zhiyin chuckled and refused to argue with the idiot. Haitang's face turned pale.

Mother Hu and Mother Yang looked at each other. Mother Yang gave her a reassuring look, took a step forward, bowed to Gu Jinse, and then said expressionlessly, "Madam Third Young Master, don't you know that my Princess was injured and her hand was almost crippled? But even so, she was always thinking about Madam Third Young Master. As soon as her injury got a little better, she couldn't wait to come visit."

She said lightly, and gave Gu Jinse a meaningful look: "Madam San Shao, as your younger sister, you didn't come to the palace to visit the Princess even after the pregnancy was stable."

Gu Jinse's face turned pale and blue after hearing these sarcastic words. She gritted her teeth and glared at Mother Yang, but she couldn't get angry.

Mother Yang was a servant in the palace. In her previous life, she was arranged to be by Gu Jinse's side. Although she was respectful, she was also strict, and Gu Jinse was very afraid of her.

If it was Mother Hu who stood up and spoke at this moment, Gu Jinse would have slapped her in the face.

Mother Hu knew this clearly, so she winked at Mother Yang and asked her to go up.

How dare you morally blackmail the Princess? Don’t you even consider your own worth?

Mother Yang is now helping Gu Zhiyin with external affairs, and as a member of the royal family, that station represents the Pingyang Palace.

Just then, a maid knocked on the door and reported: "Madam, the third young master's wife, Madam, the eldest young master's wife and the fourth young lady are here."

Gu Jinse glanced at Gu Zhiyin nervously and bit her lip in annoyance.

I was too careless. If I had known I shouldn't have argued with her just now, what if Gu Zhiyin was angry and wanted to intimidate her?

If the Shen family knew that she had a bad relationship with Gu Zhiyin, they would definitely be even more disdainful of her.

While I was distracted, Shen's mother came in with her people.

Gu Zhiyin was sitting on the side, wearing a light purple top embroidered with plum blossoms and a white skirt. Her black hair was tied into a double bun, with a pink floral glazed hairpin with tiny diamond tassels in the middle, which made her skin look even more crystal clear.

Shen Wanqing's eyes revealed deep envy and jealousy without any concealment.

"Greetings, Princess." Mother Shen knelt down and bowed to Gu Zhiyin.

Ye Menglan and Shen Wanqing followed suit and bowed.

Gu Zhiyin nodded slightly: "Mrs. Shen, please stand up."

Once, in order to please Shen's mother, she stayed up all night and woke up early, but she still found fault with her and made things difficult for her.

She once thought that she didn't do well enough, but now she thinks that it's just the bad nature of some people.

He likes to rub his daughter-in-law to show off his ability.

In her previous life, Gu Jinse was the princess of a county prince, but she and Lin Jianyue were fighting to the death. The Pingyang Palace was in chaos and they were busy taking care of themselves, so how could they have the time to take care of her? The Shen family thought that they could get some benefits by becoming relatives of the Pingyang Palace, but in the end they found out that there was nothing.

Therefore, Shen's mother thought that she was of no use and did not mind at all giving her all to pave the way for Shen Linzhou.

Now seeing Shen's mother humble herself in front of her, to be honest, it feels good!

Gu Zhiyin didn't let them sit down, and Shen's mother and the other two didn't dare to sit down rashly.

Not to mention that Prince Pingyang is now receiving the emperor's favor and is helping the emperor solve the food problem caused by the drought. Even if not, their Shen family would not dare to challenge the authority of the prince's palace.

"I didn't know the Princess was coming. I hope you won't blame me for not welcoming her." Ye Menglan said with a gentle smile, "Mother is very busy with the affairs of the mansion. If she had known that the Princess was coming, she would have waited at the door early."

Gu Zhiyin raised her eyes and looked at Ye Menglan indifferently.

On the surface he was speaking in a humble and polite manner, but in reality he was implying that she had come without any notice.
