After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 31: Not Good Enough of the Marquis

Xu Rui quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "I am here."

Gu Wei smiled at Xu Rui and said, "You have made an invaluable contribution to our successful victory over the Northern Di. I will reward you handsomely. What reward do you want?"

Xu Rui bowed again with an expressionless face. "Yun Dynasty's victory is the result of the joint efforts of all soldiers, as well as the blessing of heaven and Your Majesty. I dare not take credit for it."

A hint of satisfaction flashed through Gu Wei's deep eyes. He laughed heartily and said, "The merits of the soldiers are the merits of the soldiers, and your merits are your merits. Everyone will be rewarded."

Gu Wei seemed to have thought of something and suddenly changed the subject, "I heard that you brought back a girl this time, but is this the one next to you?"

As soon as Gu Wei said this, everyone looked at Jiang Xiyu.

Many people present knew Jiang Xiyu, and they all knew that she was the wife of Marquis Yonglin. Your Majesty had made a mistake.

The imperial concubine beside the ancient curtain came closer and whispered, "Your Majesty, the person next to Marquis Yonglin is his wife, Jiang Xiyu, the legitimate daughter of the Grand General's Mansion."

Xu Rui glanced at Jiang Xiyu and quickly introduced her to Gu Wei, "This is my humble wife."

Jiang Xiyu stood up and bowed politely towards the ancient curtain, "Your Majesty, your humble servant Jiang Xiyu pays respects to you."

Just now, Jiang Xiyu was sitting and Gu Wei didn't look at her carefully. Now that she was facing him and bowing, he finally saw her appearance clearly and was instantly stunned by her.

She has beautiful facial features, skin as white as cream, a gorgeous appearance, and a graceful figure. The phoenix flower at the corner of her eye makes her even more beautiful than an ordinary woman.

What a charming beauty!

The way Gu Wei looked at Jiang Xiyu made the imperial concubine and the four concubines around him all look at Jiang Xiyu. Seeing her beauty like a fairy, they felt jealous and relieved.

Fortunately, the wife of Marquis Yonglin got married, and her husband was Marquis Yonglin. Fortunately, Marquis Yonglin did not die in the battlefield this time. As long as Marquis Yonglin is still alive, Emperor Yun will probably not have any thoughts about his wife.

Gu Wei looked at Jiang Xiyu with a burning gaze and said with a smile, "So she is General Jiang's legitimate daughter. She is indeed a great beauty."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Rui with a smile, "I didn't expect the general to have such a beautiful daughter. I heard that during the time you were away from home, your wife has been helping you take care of the backyard. She is really a clever and skillful person."

Ruizhi is Xu Rui's nickname.

He deeply regretted his actions.

In fact, the marriage between Xu Rui and Jiang Xiyu was partly facilitated by him, because he needed the military support of the Jiang family. However, his situation was very bad at the time and he could not marry the daughter of the Jiang family, otherwise it would expose his ambition. So he asked Xu Rui to find a way to marry the daughter of the Jiang family.

If he had known that Jiang Xiyu was so beautiful, he would have taken her as his concubine.

Having been by Gu Wei's side for so many years, how could it be impossible for him to understand Gu Wei's thoughts? He stepped forward slightly to block Jiang Xiyu and bowed and replied, "After marrying me, my lady, she has lived in seclusion and rarely goes out."

Xu Rui turned slightly to the side, successfully making Gu Wei withdraw his gaze. He coughed uncomfortably and changed the subject, "Which girl did you bring back?"

"It's Miss Lin." Xu Rui gestured to Lin Rouyu and introduced her to Gu Wei. "Miss Lin is the legitimate daughter of the Hongzhou governor. They saved me when I fell off a cliff before."

Lin Rouyu quickly stood up and bowed towards the ancient curtain, "Your Majesty, I, Lin Rouyu, pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed."

Seeing Lin Rouyu's delicate appearance, Gu Wei's eyes dimmed a lot, and there was a sense of alienation in his words, "The women of Jiangnan are really as gentle as Jiangnan."

Lin Rouyu lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."

Gu Wei suddenly said, "I seem to remember that the governor of Hongzhou is called Lin Songwen. If he is the governor of Hongzhou, why did he go to the border and save Ruizhi?"

Hongzhou is in Xiaochui Town, south of Yunchao, and a little beyond the northern border is the territory of the north.

Before Xu Rui could speak, Lin Rouyu spoke first, "I was ill, so I know a little about herbal medicine. I heard there was a medicine that could relieve my condition. I had originally planned to go to the northern border with my servants, but my father was worried that I would be in danger on the way, so he went with me to look for medicine. It was by chance that Rui was saved..."

Lin Rouyu seemed to have let something slip, she lowered her eyes shyly and quickly changed the subject, "I saved the Marquis."

Gu Wei glanced at Lin Rouyu meaningfully, then said to Xu Rui with a smile, "I think Miss Lin is also a wonderful person. How about I give Miss Lin to you as your equal wife?"

Gu Wei's sudden words made everyone's attention focus on Xu Rui, Lin Rouyu, and Jiang Xiyu.

Lin Rouyu is the legitimate daughter of the prefect of Hongzhou. She is not qualified to be the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin, but because she saved Xu Rui, it is appropriate for her to repay the life-saving grace with her own body and be promoted to a co-wife.

It’s just a pity for Jiang Xiyu, the legitimate wife.

She almost became a widow before, and finally Xu Rui came back, but he brought back a woman. Now Emperor Yun wants to give him a concubine.

Everyone looked at him with sympathy and a sense of gloating, but Jiang Xiyu had a calm face without any expression, and they were all a little disappointed.

Lin Rouyu was stunned. She didn't expect that Gu Wei would suddenly arrange a marriage between her and Xu Rui. She was very happy and looked at Xu Rui with anticipation, but Xu Rui seemed to be frowning.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood us. Miss Lin and I are not what Your Majesty thinks. Please accept your order."

Xu Rui actually refused in public, and everyone was shocked.

It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Now that His Majesty has granted him the marriage, shouldn't he be happy?

Besides, Lin Rouyu’s status is a bit low, but she is good-looking. Why doesn’t she want it even if it’s given to her for free?

Jiang Xiyu was not surprised at all, because in her previous life, Xu Rui had also directly rejected her. At that time, she was very happy and thought that Xu Rui had her in his heart, so he rejected her.

But what happened afterwards made her realize how stupid she was in her previous life.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lin Rouyu's face, and she immediately lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes.

Gu Wei glanced at the lost Lin Rouyu, then looked at Xu Rui meaningfully and said, "You brought the girl back here, isn't it for the purpose of getting married?"

Xu Rui explained with a serious face, "I brought Miss Lin back to repay the kindness of Lord Lin and Miss Lin. Miss Lin was weak, so I brought her to the capital to seek medical treatment. If Your Majesty really wants to reward me, why not give me an imperial physician to treat Miss Lin."

Gu Wei looked at Lin Rouyu, "Miss Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Rouyu bowed and replied, "I have had urinary insufficiency since childhood and am unworthy of the Marquis."

Xu Rui heard the unhappiness in Lin Rouyu's words and frowned slightly.
