After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

As soon as Gu Wei said this, everyone looked at Gulin at the same time.

It’s not for any other reason, but because the Princess’s Mansion mentioned in Gu Wei is right next to the Prince of Qin’s Mansion.

Gu Wei suddenly asked Xu Rui and his family to move next to the Prince Qin's Mansion. What was his intention?

Could it be that just because Gu Wei humiliated Xu Rong just now, Gu Wei deliberately showed his favor to the Yonglin Marquis Mansion?

But if it was really just to appease Xu Rui, there would be no need to lend the eldest princess's mansion to Xu Rui and his family to live in.

Gulin had a blank expression on his face, as if he didn't care about Guwei's decision at all.

Xu Rui originally didn't want to go through so much trouble, but he was also worried whether Gu Wei's move had a deeper meaning. In addition, the Yonglin Marquis Mansion was indeed uninhabitable now, and they really needed a place to stay.

After Xu Rui pondered for a moment, he stood up and said to the ancient curtain, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will obey your command."

Gu Wei nodded.

After the celebration banquet, Gu Wei gave Xu Rui a lot of rewards. Together with those given to Xu Rong, the Yonglin Marquis Mansion could be said to have returned with a full load.

Of course, it would be better if Xu Rong didn't make such a fool of herself.

The family returned to the Yonglin Marquis Mansion in carriage in silence.

As soon as he returned home, Xu Rui had all the things that Gu Wei had rewarded him with sent to Taolin Garden. He seemed not to have forgotten the promise he made in Taolin Garden last night.

Qing'er looked at the boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry that were delivered to Taolin Garden and said with joy, "Did this servant misunderstand the Marquis before?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xiyu sat in front of the bronze mirror, watching Qing'er helping her remove her makeup.

Qing'er said excitedly while undoing Jiang Xiyu's hair bun, "When the Marquis first came back, I saw her bringing Miss Lin back with her. I thought the Marquis was having an affair with her, but now it seems that the Marquis loves you the most, Madam. He doesn't like Miss Lin at all."

Jiang Xiyu looked at Qing'er with a mixture of laughter and tears, "How did you know that?"

She didn't even realize that Xu Rui loved her the most. Where did this girl get this idea from?

Qing'er's eyes widened. "Just now at the celebration banquet in the palace, His Majesty offered the Marquis a marriage, but he refused. Doesn't this mean that the Marquis loves you the most, and not Miss Lin?"

In her previous life, she also thought so, but in the end she was covered with scars.

Jiang Xiyu suppressed her emotions and said calmly, "You may have guessed wrong. The person he loves is neither me nor Lin Rouyu."

The person Xu Rui loves most should be himself and the reputation of the Yonglin Marquisate.

But Jiang Xiyu didn't say the last sentence.

"Madam, I don't quite understand what you are saying." Qing'er looked at Jiang Xiyu blankly, not quite understanding what she said.

Jiang Xiyu naturally didn't explain anything to Qing'er, and she couldn't explain it clearly, so she just asked, "Do you know why Xu Rui didn't agree to the marriage granted by His Majesty?"

Qing'er looked puzzled, "Isn't it just that the Marquis cares about you?"

Otherwise, could it be that the Marquis has other reasons?

Jiang Xiyu was amused by her and said helplessly, "You are too naive."

Qing'er looked puzzled, she really didn't understand.

Jiang Xiyu smiled and explained to Qing'er, "Lin Rouyu is the daughter of the governor of Hongzhou. Hongzhou is located in the southern border, and the governor has military power. Now I am the daughter of a general. If Xu Rui marries Lin Rouyu as his concubine, what do you think His Majesty will think of Xu Rui?"

Qing'er wasn't an empty-headed person. After Jiang Xiyu's words, she seemed to understand a little, but she still tried to confirm, "Madam, are you saying that the Marquis refused Your Majesty's marriage proposal because He was afraid that His Majesty would be afraid of him, just like He was afraid of our general, because He would be afraid of the Marquis?"

Jiang Xiyu smiled coldly, "Xu Rui is not a fool. He has finally gained the favor of His Majesty. It is the time for him to rise to prominence. Why would he arouse His Majesty's suspicion for the sake of a woman?"

Considering what happened to his father, Xu Rui wouldn't be so stupid!

Qing'er suddenly realized, "So this is the reason why the Marquis refused the marriage granted by His Majesty, but it was clearly His Majesty who wanted to grant the Marquis the marriage."

Jiang Xiyu snorted coldly, "Do you think His Majesty is as simple as he appears? Everything His Majesty said and did at the celebration banquet today was a test. This was true for Xu Rui, and it was also true for the King of Qin."

Xu Rui is Gu Wei's confidant, and Gu Lin is Gu Wei's uncle.

These two should have been the closest people to His Majesty, but now they have become the two people that Gu Wei fears the most.

This time Xu Rui refused the marriage proposal from His Majesty, which was a little better. However, there must be something in Gu Wei's hand that His Majesty is afraid of.

Qing'er looked confused. After listening to what Jiang Xiyu said, she felt like her brain exploded. She didn't expect that a seemingly simple thing would have such a deep meaning.

Qing'er sighed softly and continued to comb Jiang Xiyu's hair. "I don't care about these things, but I think that the Marquis likes you more than that Miss Lin."

After all, Xu Rui refused the marriage proposal in public, so Lin Rouyu would never be able to enter the Marquis' Mansion in her lifetime.

After all, if Xu Rui married her as a co-wife or took her as a concubine, he would be slapping Gu Wei in the face and disobeying the order.

According to Jiang Xiyu, how could Xu Rui, such a smart person, do such a stupid thing?

Jiang Xiyu did not refute and remained silent.

Because of everything that happened in her previous life, she had long seen through that Xu Rui didn't love her at all, so she didn't care about him in this life.

If she were to live again, she would settle all the grudges from her previous life one by one. Jiang Xiyu's eyes became deep, and a strong aura surrounded her body. Qing'er was very puzzled by Jiang Xiyu's sudden change. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xu Rui walk in.

"Master Hou."

Qing'er stepped forward and saluted Xu Rui, but Jiang Xiyu pretended not to see Xu Rui and did not stand up.

Xu Rui didn't care either, he just stared at Jiang Xiyu's back with burning eyes.

She had tied her hair up in a bun before, but now it was loose, her silky black hair reaching her waist. Her fair and rosy face was reflected in the mirror, which made Xu Rui unable to help but step forward.

Qing'er left tactfully and closed the door for them.

Xu Rui walked forward and put his arm around Jiang Xiyu's shoulders. Jiang Xiyu felt nauseous and stood up and moved to the side. Xu Rui's hand froze, but he quickly thought that she was shy and did not force her.

Pointing to the seven or eight large wooden boxes on the ground, he smiled and said, "Madam, have you ordered all these things?"

Jiang Xiyu glanced at him and said calmly, "Everything has been ordered."

"In that case, these things will not be stored in the Marquis' Mansion's warehouse, but directly in your private vault."

Jiang Xiyu didn't smile. She sat on a chair beside her, poured herself a cup of tea, and said calmly, "My Lord, what do you think is the difference between the public treasury and my private treasury?"

Xu Rui also sat down and glanced at the teapot. Jiang Xiyu drank tea by herself, pretending not to see anything.
